Unwanted

Chapter 2

"At least I don't have to walk to school anymore" was my first thought as I climbed into the red rust bucket Bella had been gifted.
She drove us to school, listening to the directions I gave her. Being stuck in a cramped car with the half sister I hadn't seen for several years was not something I had on my bucket list.

I hugged my warm sweater closer to my body and fiddled with the hem of my green tank top, my favourite one as it had lace details on the chest and my mother bought it for me thinking it was the most beautiful shirt she'd ever seen. I paired it with blue jeans that flared at the base and various jewelry. I always liked wearing lots of jewelry, maybe it's another thing I picked up from my mother.

The moment she pulled into the parking lot I immediately got out as if the truck was about to blow. I couldn't stand the awkwardness any longer. I would rather sit in a cage with a lion that hadn't been fed for weeks.

I would of made an attempt to show Bella around the school but it seemed someone got to it before me. We were only at the entrance and she was being taken away by a boy I didn't remember the name of. She only just stepped foot in her new Highschool and she was already being drooled over.

Walking over to my locker before she could notice I was gone, not that she would anyway, seemed like my best option. As I was making my escape I heard a snippet of their conversation.

"Your Valentinas sister?"
"Half"
That felt like a punch to the gut. I think I would of rather her genuinely hit me. I knew she didn't particularly like me but I had never heard her express it in words before. I guess I'll have to get used to it.
What a great start to the school day.

Lunch time was the only part of the day I enjoyed. I get to eat the lunch I packed instead of torturing myself with the disgusting cafeteria food that I don't even know how they are allowed to give us and I get to sit outside.

Despite the gloomy atmosphere of Forks, Washington I found it quite beautiful, I enjoyed it to say the least. But it didn't matter if I liked it or not because anything was better than sitting in the corner of the cafeteria and looking like a lost dog. I wonder how many people Bella has sat at her table.

Usually I just sit on the wet grass (of course putting my jacket below me so I didn't have a wet stain that looked an awfully lot like piss on the back of my jeans) but today felt different. The woods seemed to call me over, the trees beckoning me forward with their swaying branches. Who was I to decline such a request?

Before I knew it I was deep into the forest. This was probably my favourite place in the world. The green hues, the plant life, it was all so gorgeous. When I die, I want to be buried right here. Right beneath the soil I am waking upon.
I could not tell how far I walked. I know the woods in Forks never end. I could even be near my own home by now and I couldn't bring myself to care, I didn't care that I was definitely missing class. I didn't care what my dad would say. Right now was my time, and my time only.

Rustling behind me broke me from my thoughts, and being the daughter of a cop I whipped my head around fast enough to gain a minor case of whiplash.
What stood before me shocked me to my core. At first I thought I might be staring at an odd looking bear but once my vision focused I could see truly what was standing before me.

A wolf.
