Bella's POV
All Human
Chapter 1: First Day
It was different from what I thought I would be. Being in Forks I should say. I've been here for all most a week now and Charlie – the chief of police and my father – has being on my case about starting school. I assured him that this morning I will be off to my first day of high school in Forks – but I am not looking forward to it. Since moving to Forks every morning I wake up to is always dark and gloomy.
I don't have the warm sun to wake me up anymore…or the sounds of my neighbour's kids throwing balls at my door so that I could come out and play with them. No sir…this was Forks. Rainy, cloudy, gloomy, depressing Forks.
There has to be some upsides to it though, I mean how bad can it be? I am sure the people are nice. I remember I use to play with a young boy here…what was his name again? Jacob Black! Yes I remember now, but he doesn't go to the same high school as I do; he lives down at the Native Reserve in La Push. I was hoping that at least I would know one person so that I don't feel like a complete loner.
"Bella honey let's get going. You don't want to be late for your first day do ya?" Charlie called down from the bottom of the stairs.
I sighed to myself, "Yeah just give me a sec dad!" I called out.
I walked downstairs with my back pack; a ready school girl – how exciting – I met Charlie outside standing beside his cop car. He looked at me once and then down at that ground. Charlie wasn't sure how to handle me just yet. He was a good person: strong and independent, but when it came to women – like my mother and I – he was at a complete loss.
"Do you want me to drop you off Bell's?" Charlie offered.
"No thanks dad. I rather not have the kids see me pull up in front of school in a cop car. Thanks anyways though."
Charlie nodded acceptingly. Upon my arrival here in Forks, Charlie presented me with my own car. A large, red 1953 Chevy Pick-Up-Truck. It wasn't the most appealing car to look at: the paint was mostly scratched off and the door made a loud creek every time I opened and closed it. But it was my car, and I was happy enough to get one.
"Have a good day at school then Bell's. I'll see you for dinner," Charlie said getting into his car and driving off. I got into my car and began to drive off to school. I took in a lot of sightseeing whiles driving the long way to school. Though there wasn't much to see but trees…and trees.
That's when I noticed it. A large mansion sitting on top of a hill hidden within the trees; wow, they're must be some amazingly rich people living in that house. I didn't know Forks had people with a lot of money living here. Their house was amazing; it was modern and had a lot of windows.
I noticed someone coming out of the front door when they stopped to stare at me. Nervously I pressed on the accelerated and drove off not looking back. Who were those people?
I arrived at school pulling up in an empty parking lot space and got out of the car. So this was my new school? It was only for two years how hard could it be? I tried to assure myself that it wasn't going to be very hard. I walked to the main office where I was given my locker combo and schedule.
"Have a good day Ms. Swan." The secretary wished me.
I knew I was going to need all the encouragement I was going to get. I arrive at my locker, number 110. But when I tried to open it the stupid lock wouldn't pull open. I tugged at it harder and harder only to have it fly open hitting me in my face! I fell to the floor covering my right eye and cheek – ouch that hurt – that's when I heard a low giggle behind me.
"Are you all right?" A bubbly sweet high pitch voice called out from behind me.
I was helped to my feet and then turned back to see who was the nice enough person to help me up. It was a young girl. She had a very adorable look: pretty yet very innocent. With black dark hair and very pale light skin tone with bright brown eyes that all most shined like gold.
"Oh yes thank you," I said embarrassed at my horrible display of opening a locker.
The girl giggled again, "Don't be silly, these locker are hundreds of years old, some of them need a good tug. My name is Alice, Alice Cullen nice to meet you. Is today you're first day?"
"Yes. I just moved here last week. My name is Bella Swan." I greeted myself.
"Bella Swan?" Alice said in a low voice. Did she know me already? Alice caught me staring at her questionably as she shook of the look quickly and smiled, "Hello Bella! Would you like me to take you to the nurse's office before you catch a black eye? Do you need some ice?" Alice asked kindly. I didn't hear the slightest mockery in her voice.
I shook my head no, "No thank you I'll be fine. I am very accident prone so it happens to me often," I assured her. Alice grinned amused at my statement and then the bell rang.
"I am off to class Bella but please sit with me at lunch?" Alice asked. I nodded helpless of fear to eat lunch alone at the cafeteria.
Alice looked pleased with my answer and skipped down the hallway. She was so nice, I am glad to know that there are some kind people here in Forks. I went to my first period class: Biology. I walked over to the teacher's desk and introduced myself.
"Ah yes. Everyone this is Isabella Swan, she is new to our school, and I trust that you all would be kind enough to show her around. Ms. Swan please take your set right beside…oh Mr. Cullen isn't in today? Well you may sit there anyhow he is most likely late." Mr. Molina gestured me to my set.
I sat down with little trouble. Did he just say Mr. Cullen? Wasn't that the same name as Alice? She must have another sibling in the school then. How interesting maybe I will learn more about this at lunch time.

The day carried slowly. Biology was all too easy; I knew everything already from my advance class back home. And second period was gym…my least favourite class. Why? It was because I could very well lose my life in the class do to a harmless injury, or worse injury those around me.
At lunch time I went to the cafeteria to look for Alice, who was sitting at a table all by herself. I walked over to her and greeted her with a smile.
"Bella, hello why don't you take a seat? My brother's will be coming along soon along with two other people I would like you to meet." Alice said as I sat down beside her.
"You have brothers that go to this school also?" I asked harmlessly though I already had guessed.
Alice nodded, "Yes two. Emmett and Edward; they are both a year older than me. They are not twins but they were born in the same year. You will see them soon; they are very nice," Alice guaranteed me.
I smiled out of habit when she finished, "Then who are the other two you said were joining us? Friends?" I questioned wanting to know before they arrived at the table so I'd know how to greet them.
"Well…I suppose. One is Jasper, he is my boyfriend, the other is Rosalie she is Emmett's girlfriend. Both are good friends to the family, Rose might be hard to get along with at first but it grows on you. Oh here they come now, you see?" Alice said glancing in the direction where I turned my head.
There are I saw four stunning people walking towards our table. The first I noticed was the strong built young man. He was muscular and fit. With curly black hair and the same pale skin tone as Alice; even their eyes were the same. That's how I knew that he must be one of her brothers. I assumed that he was Emmett since there was a girl hanging on his arm.
She must be Rosalie. She was beautiful, with blond long curly hair and an ivory flawless skin. Her eyes were blue and her cheeks were warm with colour. She looked into Emmett's eyes as if they were soul mates, meant to be together.
Then I noticed the third boy. He was different from the other two so I assumed he was Jasper. He had light blond hair also but green eyes. He was very tall and slim and grinned at Alice with the most cunning and welcoming smile. Alice smiled at him as if she hasn't seen him in years.
And then there was Edward. He seemed to be the most stunning out of all of them. He was tall with a very nice built. His skin pale and his hair dark brown; his eyes – brown with its shimmer of gold– connected with mine for the shortest moment. Only long enough for me to look into the rich colour that shined in my eyes before I quickly turned my head away. And then they all approached the table simultaneously.
"Everyone I'd like you to meet my good friend Bella. She is new to the school and new to Forks. Bella these are my brothers Emmett and Edward and our friends Jasper and Rosalie,"
So I was correct about who each person was, how lucky for me, "Hello." I greeted everyone with a shy smile.
They all took their seats before saying anything else. I sat between Alice and Edward. Suddenly my heart began to race and I was too scared to look in his direction.
So this was how Forks was going to be?
