I woke up the next morning to Bella shaking my shoulder. Groaning I go to roll over but remebered that today will be our first day at Forks High School. Sighing I stretched before climbing out of the bed.

"Will you ride with me?" Bella asked. "I don't wanna go alone."

"Yeah." I nodded. "That's fine, I know how your anxiety can get."

Bella gave me a faint smile before I left her room going to mine to get the stuff for a shower.

I had just finished braiding my hair when Bella walked into the bathroom standing beside me at the sink brushing her teeth. I giggle at her bewildered look toward my outfit. I was wearing a dress in the cold weather of Forks.

"Aren't you going to be cold?" she asked once we both finished brushing our teeth

"Aren't you going to be cold?" she asked once we both finished brushing our teeth.

"I like the cold." I grinned at her. "Now, lets say bye to dad before we leave for school."

Bella nodded and we headed out of the bathroom after rinsing the sink out. We headed downstairs as my heels clicked slightly on the hardwood. We stepped into the kitchen where Dad was sat reading the paper before work. 

He looked up as he took a sip of his coffee. His eyes nearly bulged out of his skull as he started coughing, seemingly choking on his coffee. Bella and I both raised a brow at him. Dad looked toward me then toward a picture taped to the fridge. I walked over and eyed it.

"You look just like your mother," dad says. "But with brown hair."

"I mean, they are her clothes." I said. "I found them in some old boxes along with this. 

I pulled out an AC/DC Back In Black eight-track from my backpack. Dad grabbed it from my hand and playfully glared at me.

"Your mother stole my eight track!" He huffed. "When we divorced I couldn't find any."

"Because she has all of them." Bella says. "When we brought it up she said she had a feeling one of us is going to be an old soul, which happens to be Nico."

"Well," dad cleared his throat. "You girls have a good day at school."

"We will." I say. "Have a good day at work." 

I kissed his cheek before plucking the eight-track from his hand. I shoved it back into my bag before following Bella out of the house. Bella scrambled to get to the car while I walked smiling at the light rain misting my face. I slip into her passneger seat putting my bag between us. Bella started the truck. It roared to life.

--

We pulled into a parking space of Forks High School. As soon as Bella put the truck into park it backfired causing her to cringe as I just slightly giggled. I gave her hand a tight squeeze before we got out of the truck. I glance at everyone staring at us. My eyes landed on a short girl with spiky black hair. She smiled at me causing me to give her a bright one back. I turned to Bella feeling her tug me along. 

"Nice ride." A dark skinned boy laughed.

I stopped dead in tracks and turned to him before replying. "I would say nice face, but my parents taught me not to lie." 

His friends oooed and laughed as I turned back to Bella who despereatly tugged on my hand. We entered the office and a nice looking older woman gave us a bright smile.

"How can I help you dears?" she asked.

"We're the Swan Twins." I say. "I'm Nicoletta and this is Isabella."

"Right!" she says looking through a stack of papers before handing us each one plus a little slip. "Have your teachers sign this and bring it back by the end of the day."

"Thank you." I say as we walked out the of the office into the hallway.

Bella and I stood there comparing our schedules. We had every class together but third period. She had Trig and I had advanced Calculus. Bella seemed to sigh in relief at us having almost every single class together. 

"You must be Isabella and Nicoletta Swan." A boy says suddenly putting his arms over our shoulders. "I'm Eric, the eyes and ears of this place. I can be a lunch date, a shoulder to cry on."

"Just Bella and Nico." I say. "I'm the more outgoing one."

"I'm the one that suffers in silence." Bella says.

"Cool." Eric grinned. "That'd make for a great feature. I'm on the school paper and your both on the cover, front page babies!"

Bella started stuttering out of nervousness and anxiety.

"In Bella language that means no." I say. 

--

It was already third period. Bella was reluctant to split ways but she had to go to Trig. I stepped into Mr. Geoff's classroom. I glanced around and noticed a beautiful blonde girl staring at me. I walked to Mr. Geoff, he was a middle aged man with pale skin, ginger hair. He gave me a kind smile.

"You must be, Nicoletta." He says taking the slip and signing it.

"Just Nico." I say. 

"Well, Nico." He says. "Here's your textbook, try to keep up, if you have any questions feel free to ask. You may sit beside Miss. Hale."

I turned to where he nodded and the blonde gave me a small smile while waving with her fingers. I walked over and took a seat beside her setting my bag down on the floor after grabbing my notebook and pencil.

"Hello." she says. "You're outfit is really cute, did you thrift it?"

"Hello." I smiled back. "No, it was my mom's when she was in her teens, I'm Nicoletta by the way but you can call me Nico." 

"I think I'll stick with calling you Nicoletta." she says. "It's beautiful, I'm Rosalie."

--

I rolled my eyes at the brunette who kept cheering her teamates on. It was slightly annoying. We were in gym, the girls were playing volley ball on one side of the court while the boys played basketball on the other side. I was trying to keep the ball out of Bella's way since she's very uncoordinated. 

I watched wide eyed as the ball flew past my head straight to Bella she flailed and smacked it. The ball went soaring and smacked a guy with spiky blond hair in the back of the head causing him to cry out a small 'ow'. Bella and I quickly rushed over to the guy. Bella was profusely apologizing.

"No worries." The guy says. "It's just a flesh wound. You're Isabella and Nicoletta the new girls."

"Just Bella." Bella says.

"Nico." I say.

Suddenly the brunette barged between Bella and I causing me to send her an evil glare.

"She has a really good spike huh?" she says. "Your both from Phoenix, aren't people from there supposed be like really tan?"

"I guess that's why they kicked us out." Bella joked causing me to laugh slightly.

Mike laughed way too hard while the girl fake laughed saying Bella was so funny. I gave her another intense glare before Coach Clapp blew his whistle calling us back to what we're supposed to be doing.
