I almost screamed at myself. I was so frustrated as I threw down the scissors in disgust. I was so close this time. I was pathetic.
Cursing I stood up and started pacing my room, so angry I was almost ripping out my short dirty blonde hair. I then kicked my desk, which only made my foot hurt. It made a large bang and tears sprung to my eyes but I swallowed and ignored them. My Twilight book on the floor slipped beneath my good foot and I slid backwards onto my bed while it moved across the carpet.
Clutching my sore foot I scowled not caring yet that the front cover had been folded. Turning to my clock I saw it was just gone half eleven. Annoyed that my mother would come in to see if I was asleep (obviously she had heard the bang – she has ears like a bat!), I quickly turned off my light and got into bed.
In the next minute I heard her come in, and then walk out again upon seeing me 'asleep'. Smiling smugly to myself I got up and picked my Twilight book off the floor, unfolding the cover and starting to read where I left off.
However, I do not remember putting the book down before I fell asleep. When I woke up, I got out of bed starting to look around for my uniform for school. It was a reading day to my annoyance so I started looking around for my book.
It wasn't on the bedside table, or the floor, which was strange. Sleepily, I opened my wardrobe to find clothes that were most certainly not mine. Groaning I rubbed my eyes. It was a Monday, so obviously I would not be able to see anything right. Blinking I turned back to my wardrobe to see my clothes. Yes, I was just tired. It was seven in the morning.
Standing in front of my mirror, smoothing out my top, I saw that I defiantly looked sleep-deprived. Dark circles under my eyes revealed all. Perfect, I thought sarcastically. Looking around my room again, my Twilight book was nowhere to be found. Thinking my mother probably confiscated it again, I decided that I'd just have to go with something else. Grabbing the closest book I could find I shoved it in my bag without even glancing at the cover.
The walk to school was short as it always was. It only took ten minutes or so down the road from my house. The only thing was that half the time it was actually raining here in the small town of Forks. Today was no exception. I was grateful that it wasn't windy.
I turned into the school; not looking up from the rain covered ground and quickly walked up the steps into the main building. There were only a couple of minutes till class started so I thought I might as well go and wait outside. But then as I stood there waiting I actually looked up as the students walking past.
I had never seen any of these people in my whole life.
In shock, my lips parted a little as I usually did. An older boy with short brown hair saw me as he walked past and asked me if I was alright since I had apparently gone green.
"Fine… I'm fine." I said shakily trying to laugh it off.
"Are you sure?" He asked me, unconvinced – especially with my stunned expression.
This time I shook my head. "I suppose… I feel a little sick." Wait, what was I doing? I was fine! But Forks high was a small school…
"I'm Mike, by the way." He told me. "Newton."
My jaw dropped for a split second before I shut it quick. A large group of girls passed by me and turned while they walked, giggling. I tried not to listen.
"Oh my God." I muttered. I was starting to get a headache.
Mike sort of half grinned at me stupidly. "What, am I really that popular?" He laughed to himself.
I must have looked a bit confused then because he immediately shut up.
"Um, don't worry." I said shrugging a little. "I'll be fine." I paused. "I'm Rose Hopes. I'll… see you later, I guess."
"See you." He said proceeding to walk down the corridor as I tried to put this all together.
If that was Mike Newton, then I was officially crazy. THE Mike Newton from the Twilight books? This is mad. I shook my head. It was probably just a coincidence. It was Monday for crying out loud! Mabye I was just hallucinating or something…
The bell rang sharply and some students walked into the class that I was waiting outside of. The gave me some strange looks and I heard one whisper "Is she the new girl?".
Utterly confused, I decided it best not to go in there. Obviously I had a different class today, didn't I? Yes that was just it – I was in a different class. So which one? I bit my lip unconsciously and started looking around. The halls were almost empty apart from the random person trying to get the class.
Someone walked past me. But even thought it was someone I wouldn't notice usually, I noticed them now. They had quite long dark brown hair. Looking right at me she blushed and walked past me. I managed to catch the colour of her eyes. They were brown.
If I was going crazy… which I had already figured out I was – then that was Bella Swan. And this… this was the Twilight universe.
But that would only mean one thing.
Vampires existed here. And as we were in Forks, there would be a particular vampire family I already knew about.
