Hey everybody! This is my first ever story on FF and I hope that it does well :D Please read and review and let me know if I should change or add anything. Constructive criticism is welcome here, but ONLY if it's going to help me.
Disclaimer: I don't own ANYTHING! Literally... I don't... Apart from the albums mentioned in the story... I actually DO own those :D (And a $#!+ load more!) hehe ;)
Stephenie Meyer owns all Twilight characters and someone owns BMW... (that's just my future car , I hope)
(BTW who listens to Tom Deacon from the 5:19 show on Sundays from 7pm-9pm on Radio 1? Peter Facinelli was on it this past Sunday... I don't care how old he is OR that he's married and has 3 children... He has got one SEXY voice! -swoon- hehe)
Now that that's over... I hope you enjoy Chapter 1!
"Didn't you hear her Mike? She doesn't want you, she wants me!"
By then everybody was just looking at the two of us in utter shock… I guess I better tell you the whole story first.
-ooooo-
My name is Isabella, but I prefer to be called Bella and it all started when I had to move in with my dad, Charlie, who lived in Forks, Washington. You see I had originally lived in Phoenix, Arizona with my mom, Renee, and my new step-dad Phil. Phil was a major league baseball player so he had to move around a lot and I didn't want to be a burden to the newlyweds *cough cough*… So it was my idea to live with my dad in the first place and even though we only saw each other during the summers, I knew I was a daddy's girl and I would get along with him just fine.
The only down side was that there was only one school in the town. Now back in Arizona I wouldn't have minded because I rarely spoke to anyone at all, but I was going to a new place where no one knew who I was, how clumsy I was or basically how weird I was… I couldn't help it that I blushed at the most minimal of things! But the one thing I wanted to change dramatically was my love life. I never had a boyfriend or been kissed in my life and I guess that was down to me because honestly, who would ask out a plain Jane who like to read? Basically a brown haired, brown eyed freak who practically lived in the library; the one place no average teenager would DARE step place in.
Exactly; no one. I literally spent all my free time in there (which was a lot because I never had any overdue class work or homework) and because of this; I was paler than the average person who'd been living in one of the sunniest places in America. So now I was hoping to fit into this new school and hopefully make some new friends. Something about Forks made me less shy and more outgoing.
Well today was the day I left for Forks and left the sunny and hot place that was Phoenix behind me. If I'm honest, I couldn't be any happier! As I boarded the plane, I said good bye to a tearful Renee and an equally sad Phil and said a silent prayer that they would stay safe. When I got settled in my seat, I put my headphones in my ear and listened to my iPod until the flight was over. As I stepped off the plane, the chilly air of Forks hit me like a ton of bricks and surprisingly I liked it. I called Charlie as I walked to go and get my bags to let him know that I was here. Not too long after picking up my bags, I turned around and saw my dad standing there. I immediately ran towards him and engulfed him in a massive hug.
"How did you get here so fast?" I questioned him.
"So not even a 'hey dad, how've you been' or something?" he said walking over to my bags and picking them up from where I had dropped them.
"You didn't?" I accused him.
"Didn't what?" he said trying to play innocence, but I knew him better than that.
"I can't believe you! You drove the cruiser here instead of being a normal person and getting a normal car to drive in? Just because you're chief of police doesn't mean you get the right to drive the cruiser all the time!" I exclaimed to him as we walked toward that dreaded car.
"Sorry Bells. I tried but I just couldn't. Do you forgive me?"
"You know I'll always forgive you." I sighed whilst rolling my eyes.
As we drove home, we talked about anything and everything; which wasn't a lot. So I just looked out the window and saw that everybody looked quite pale. Hmm I guess I just might fit in better than I thought.
As we pulled in the driveway, I saw a red BMW M3 Coupe sitting there. Did my dad have someone at home?
"Umm dad, whose car is this?"
"Well… Remember how you said that you wanted a new start over here and for people to see a 'new you'? Well, think of this as a part of that new start and also an early birthday present." He said as he placed a set of keys in my hand and hugging me. My jaw literally dropped to the floor and when I had finally composed myself I jumped on my dad and squeezed the life out of him.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you! I can't believe this! I love you daddy!" I said placing a kiss on his cheek then running over to check out my new set of wheels. To say I loved would be reduction the situation! I just couldn't wait to get in it and drive! Come on I'm almost 17! I think it's finally time for me to be an average teenager and be free-spirited. After I had started it, I felt the purr of the engine and I felt at ease and relaxed. After I set the radio to my favorite stations, I shut the car off and headed inside.
As I shut the door, I saw my dad heading down stairs. "I just placed your bags in front of your bed. Oh and by the way, I think you'll like it up there." He said giving me a wink.
What could be different up there? I was only here about 2 weeks ago, so when I saw a new furniture set, bed and paint job, saying I was surprised would be an understatement.
2 days after my initial shock of my new car and bedroom wore off and I had finally settled in, Charlie knocked on my door to tell me that tomorrow I would be starting school. Soon after that I went to my closet to pick my outfit. I didn't want to wear anything that would brand me so to speak. You see a short skirt = slag or fully covered = shy, innocent, insecure book worm. I had enough experience with that second option and I did NOT feel comfortable with the first option so I opted for something in the middle. I chose a simple pair of jeans and a dark blue top that showed off my cleavage but not too much. I got out my converses and black jacket and placed everything neatly on my chair. After a quick email check from my mom, I headed downstairs to get started on dinner. I was quite used to this because Renee can't cook to save her life and Phil can only cook minimal things. During the summers I cooked for Charlie because if I didn't, it would be either pizza or take-away every night and I was not up for that.
After we finished eating, I headed upstairs to pack my bag for school. I had no idea what I might need so I put the essentials in there; a notebook, paper, pen, pencil, calculator, etc. I even put a pair of shorts and a spare shirt in there on the off chance I would have Gym on my first day. Afterwards I put my bag next to my chair and got ready for bed. I set my alarm for 6:30am so I would have enough time to get ready and have breakfast before I left. It was then I decided to grab some CDs for my car so I grabbed There For Tomorrow's A Little Faster, Adam Lambert's For Your Entertainment, Paramore's Riot, and Katy Perry's One of the Boys and placed then next to my table, making sure to grab them in the morning.
*beep beep*
"Ugggghhhh. Do I seriously have to get up?" I said whilst turning off that dreaded alarm.
"Yes, now get up Bells. I know you're only 16 and you're not meant to drive without a licensed driver, but I trust you okay? And just because I'm chief of police, doesn't mean I won't arrest you so be safe of the roads. I'm off now so I'll see you 5." I heard Charlie say from my doorway.
"Bye, see ya later."
After stretching, I got up and brushed my teeth, washed my face and then got a shower. I took a little time to properly wash my hair and shave my legs and when I got out I wrapped myself in my towel and went to my bedroom. After I blow dried my hair, I decided to curl it a little bit to make it wavy and afterwards I used my perfumed lotion and creamed my body. After I had gotten dressed, I looked at the time and saw that it was just about 7:30am and I had about 15 minutes to leave. I grabbed all my things and after surprising myself by running down the stairs and not falling, I quickly ate a bowl of cereal. I put my bowl in the sink, grabbed my keys and bag, shut the door behind me and headed towards my car.
After a quick swipe of lip-gloss, I started my baby and drove off in the direction of my new school. On my way past a couple of houses I saw someone I did NOT expect to see.
