Something Just a Little Different (Jasper Hale)

Welcome To Forks

The sky overhead was clouded, not letting even the slightest glimpse of sunlight through

Arri Wills watched the green scenery flash by through her windshield as she followed her mother's car into the new city which she would now call home.

Flicking on her windshield wipers, she grinned. She absolutely adored this kind of weather, when the skies were grey to match her eyes.

She drove passed a sign, signaling that they had reached their destination. "Welcome to Forks"

Pulling into the driveway of the small, three bedroom house, Arri parked her Jeep Rubicon, making sure the trailer hitched to the back of it wasn't sticking out into the road as her Mom and older brother got out of her mom's small car. Ann took a big exaggerated breath, "Smell that fresh air!" She exclaimed, grinning and grabbing a box from the backseat.

Arri just laughed, starting to unpack her own vehicle, her brother coming over to help. "So, little Arri, what do you think of our new home?" Josh asked her, poking her side with his elbow as he grabbed a box.

"I am in love with it already," She answered, throwing her naturally silver hair over her shoulder, playfully kicking Josh in the back of the knee as they walked inside. The house was very homey feeling, with a large kitchen area and large den, the master bedroom being down the hall.

Arri and Josh raced up the stairs, both running for the nearest bedroom to claim as their own. The silver haired girl looked around the baron room, immediately noticing the window seat and the view of the woods behind the house.

"What do you think?" Arri turned to find her mother standing in the doorway with a large grin that hadn't left her face since she had gotten news of the job opening at Forks Elementary. Ann didn't hesitate to accept the teaching position after the school's last one had died.

"It's perfect. Way better than California!" Her mother laughed at Arri's love for the dreary weather over the previous warm, sunshiney weather.

"Good. Tomorrow, you and Josh can go get registered at the high school," Ann said, coming and sitting down next to Arri on the window seat.

Arri looked taken aback, "But Mom! One does not simply just 'start' a new school on a Wednesday! Can we register Friday and start Monday? Please?!" She whined, clasping her hands together in front of her.

"Please what? No fair! Your room is bigger than mine!" Josh walked in pouting, the look not fitting with his muscular appearance, his black hair falling over his blue grey eyes.

"Mom wants us to register at the school tomorrow so we can start Wednesday!" Arri explained, standing up and going over to her older brother, "I was trying to convince her to let us register Friday and start Monday." She gave Josh a pleading look, asking him to side with her, which she knew he would.

Josh looked over at his step mom, "Who would want to start school on a Wednesday?" He asked with a disgusted look. "That's what I said!" Arri grumbled.

Ann looked at her children before letting out a large sigh. "Fine, you can start Monday. But no later than that! Now go unpack the trailer before it starts raining again. I'd like my bed to be dry, if you don't mind," As she walked out, Josh and Arri high fived, both of their faces covered in Cheshire Cat grins.

The siblings went out to the covered trailer and started bringing in the mattresses and other large furniture. Josh had just pulled the Jeep to the back of the house and unhooked the trailer when the sky decided to open up and start pouring as the everything turned black from the setting sun.

Arri had pulled her hair back into a bun as she put the frame of her bed together, sliding the mattress into place and putting on her bedding when Josh stopped by and flung her her car keys before going back to his own room.
