The look etched on Seth Clearwater's face is one between amusement and surprise as he looks over The List.

He chuckled and I inched my head up, peaking to see which one he found amusing.

Glancing at me, he shook his head and said, "You weren't kidding when you said you had a list."

"When have I ever joked about these things." I snorted in a very unladylike manner.

Before we get onto the contents of the list, allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Melody Hope Black and I am a freshman in La Push High . . . or will be in 71 hours, 32 minutes time.

I have invisioned myself being the most popular and coolest female ever to grace the face of La Push High ever since I was old enough to watch Mean Girls, but unfortunately I have undoubtedly ended up at the bottom of the social food chain. I know, bummer there.

It's not about my looks . . . maybe. I like to think of myself as above the average because Lucile Ball once said, "Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world."

I'm quite petite and short with a height of 5'5, I have long wavy dark locks that reach around my waist, since it's tradition not to cut my hair. I am quite proud of its length, if I say so myself. My eyes are hazel brown but it only shows when the sun hits it, which is a rarity in La Push's notorious weather, consisting of murky dark clouds and rain.

I'm not exactly hideous. If it's not my looks then it's probably my personality. I am way too hyper and childish at times--by times I mean all the time--and I have random outbursts of anger.

It just runs in the family, but if you want to meet anger management issues you should meet my cousin Jacob, or Jake for short. Now he has some issues. Though his isn't as bad as Paul Lahote.

Now that summarizes it. I have worked out that, if I want to be known in La Push High, I have to:

1. Stop being childish and act my age...which is kinda still a bit childish since I am fifteen, but THAT'S NOT THE POINT.

2. Never EVER sing Sponge Bob Square Pants in the cafeteria or anywhere else, as if it were a billboard hit.

3. Tell Seth not to wave chocolate in my face or I will attack it with no mercy like a recently demonotized women. Leaving him as collateral damage.

4. Get a new freaking lunch box and throw away my Sponge Bob Square Pants one!

5. Whenever I'm chosen by the teacher, I must make sure my answer is funny, teasing in a mocking manner towards the teacher, yet intellectually smart enough not to receive detention. (Cool kids do that all the times in movies. )

6. Make sure NEVER to wear the same outfit twice and be classy, stylish, elegant yet simple when choosing my outfit.

After I wrote it down, I decided to show it to my best friend, Seth.

Seth chuckled and took a bite off his sliced pizza when I showed him my list with enthusiasm.

We were currently in Forks in a Pizzeria call Petes local Pizza. It's like a hotspot for us when we wanna eat pizza.

"Are you actually gonna do all that?" He almost snickers at the thought.

I shrugged and took a slice of pizza. "If I'm ever gonna be known as someone in my only high school, then that is what I must do. Even if chocolate is involved." I sniffed and pouted at the fact that I was gonna stop eating chocolate in school.
