How it started

The First Day In Forks

(Soffia's Pov)

As we pass all the trees, I just stare out the window, listening to music with my earbuds in, as my mom drives us to our new home. We just moved to Forks, a small town that's like never sunny, but I'm kind of glad. I've always loved small towns, plus I hate the sun. My mom also got a job working at the hospital to be a surgeon. I'm happy for her she loves her work.

We pull into the driveway of our new home, and I turn to look at the house and take one of my earbuds out. I look at my mom and smile. "I think this new start is just what we needed," I say to her. I unbuckle my seat belt and tuck my phone into my pocket before opening the door and getting out of the car and stretching. "How about we unload the car and then we can go out to dinner and unpack tomorrow?" mom says, looking at me.

I nod my head and start grabbing my boxes from the car and bringing them to the front door. I look over to mom and yell, "Hey, can you throw me the keys so I can unlock the door?" She threw the keys to me, and I unlocked the door to my new home. I grabbed my boxes off the porch and put them in the living room. I looked around the house and smiled.

The house wasn't too big or too small it had two bathrooms and three bedrooms. I squeal excitedly at the house and walk back outside to help my mom bring the rest of the boxes in from the car. We finally unload the rest of the things out of the car, and mom locks up the house. All our furniture and other things had arrived the day before.

"Where are we going to eat, mom?" I say, looking at her, while stuffing my earbuds into my bag. "It's just a little place called The Carver Cafè." Mom said well she was getting into the driver's side of the car. I got into the car and stared out the window as mom drove us to this cafe. I was anxious to go out and be around people I didn't know, but for mom's sake, I just breathed and smiled.

I must have zoned out, because when I looked ahead, mom was pulling into the parking lot of the cafe. I sighed and unbuckled my seatbelt. Mom parked the car, and we both got out, shutting the door. We walked up to the door and went inside, and the waitress sat us at a table in the corner. "Do you guys know what you want to drink, or do you need a few minutes?" The waitress said setting down the menus in front of us. "May I please have a drink of water for now?" I say this to her while smiling. I look over to mom, and she says that she would like a coke. The waitress leaves to get our drinks.

"Do you know what you are going to get, sweetheart?" Mom said she looked up from the menu to me. "I think I'm going to get a burger and fries it's been a long drive here, and I'm starving," I say, laughing. mom laughs at me. "So Sof, are you excited to start school next week?" mom asked me as she looked over the menu. "Erm, I'm really anxious to start because it's a whole new place, but I'm excited to start something new, mom." mom smiled at me.

The waitress walks back over and places the drinks down in front of the mom and me. "Do you two know what you want to eat?" I nodded, "I would like a burger, medium rare with french fries, please." The waitress writes down my order and looks over at Mom. "I would like the chicken Caesar salad, please." She hands the waitress the menu."I'll be back with your food shortly."

"Thank you," I say to her as she walks off. I look around the cafe to analyze everyone around me to get a feel for the place. That's when I notice these two people sitting at the other side of the diner. I stare at them for a minute and look at their features. The girl has a short pixie cut and a beautiful smile. I tore my eyes away from her and looked towards the man next to her he's got like honey blonde hair, and he's very pale but very handsome.

One thing I notice about them both is that their eyes are both a golden color. I shrug at that seeming, as there are a lot of different eye colors in the world. I blush and look down quickly as the girl with the pixie haircut looks at me and smiles. I'm brought out of my thoughts when my food gets placed in front of me. "You okay, Sof? Look lost in LaLa Land," mom says, staring up at me with a smirk. I laugh at her, knowing she caught me staring at them.

"I'm fine, Mom. I'm just trying to feel this place out." I grab the ketchup and put a little on my fries and burger, then start to eat. Mom and I ate our food and had small talk throughout dinner, talking about school and her job. As I finish eating, I look up and see that the couple I saw earlier is no longer here. I feel myself pouting slightly at this, but I shake it off and look up at my mother.

"Are you ready to go, mom? I'm ready to get home and take a long, nice shower," I say, standing up and swinging my bag over my back. Mom looks up at me and nods, "I just have to pay and I'll meet you in the car." Mom walks over to the cashier to pay as I go to the car, getting in and starting it. I sigh and take my earbuds out and plug them into my phone, then turn on A Thousand Years by Christina Perri. (haha, see what I did there?)

I hum along to my music as Mom pulls out of the parking lot and heads back to our house. It takes like all of ten minutes to get back to our house, and I sigh happily and get out of the car, running up to the house and unlocking the door. I throw my bag next to the door on the floor, and I walk into the living room, going through the box that says my clothes, grabbing a pair of underwear and white knee-high socks with black shorts and a pastel pink hoodie.

I walk over to a box that says "Soffia's Bathroom" and grab the stuff I will need to shower and brush my teeth and head upstairs to the bathroom connected to my new room. As I walk into the bathroom, I set my clothes on the counter and turn around to turn on the water. As the water is warming up, I set my shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and razor into the shower.

I slide my clothes off my body, take my hair out of the messy bun that it's in, and get into the shower. I sigh contentedly under the nice hot water and begin to get my hair wet. My hair is right above my butt and it's light brown and wavy, so it takes me a minute to wash it and comb it, but I wouldn't ever think about cutting it. I love my hair it's my favorite thing about myself. As I wash my hair, I think back to earlier at the diner and the two people I saw.

They look so unique, it's like something was pulling me towards them to get to know them. I think about them a little longer before brushing those thoughts behind me as I finish my shower. I turned the water off and stepped out of the shower, wrapping a towel around my body and putting one around my hair. I stare at myself in the mirror for a minute, looking over my face. I snapped out of my thoughts and grabbed my tooth brush, starting to brush my teeth.

I quickly get dressed into my pajamas and take my hair out of the towel. I begin to brush my hair, humming quietly to myself. It takes me about 2 minutes to contain my hair. I set my hair brush down and grab my phone to check the time. "Damn, it's nine already I was in the shower for an hour," I murmur to myself, giggling. I walk out of the bathroom, turning off the light.

I walk over to mom's room and knock on the open door. "I'm going to go to bed it's been a long day," I say to her. mom nods and closes her book, but keeps her finger on her page and looks up at me, "Goodnight, Sweetheart, I'll see you in the morning. I love you." I smile at her, "Goodnight, Mom, I love you too." I turn around and walk over to my room.

I turn my light on and look around my room. I smile and see that my mom has put my laptop on my bed along with making it for me. I really appreciate my mom me and her have been best friends my whole life. I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I didn't have her. I turn off my light and get into bed, plugging in my phone. I grab my laptop and open it, turning on Netflix.

I decided to just put on Grey's Anatomy and set my laptop on the side of my bed. I grabbed my favorite stuffy that I've had my whole life, which is a small little polar bear named Ben. I curl up under the covers, falling asleep while holding Ben close to me with the show on in the background.
