This is it, your second chance at a new beginning. Don't blow it, I thought to myself. Sitting in my car outside my new school. This will be my 3rd high school. Sighing I mustered up the courage to get out and start the day. I was already receiving looks from students with mediocre cars and horrible style. Opening the door I took a step out and grabbed my bag, making my march through the parking lot, I knew I was getting all the attention but it wasn't what I wanted. What I wanted was to not have drama, to run away from my past. Nothing more I wanted then to just forget the past 3 years of my life. Shaking off the memories of what happened with me I kept walking. As I'm walking a red shiny Benz catches my eye, then a grey Volvo and lastly a silver pimped out jeep with really excessively big tires.

"Okay, you aren't the only outsider. So you're fine." I breathed out. before walking past the group of nicely dressed students. I could feel how hard and intensive their stares were. Damn, people here got some starting issues. I made my way to the front office and was met with a middle aged woman sipping some Starbucks.

"Hi, I'm the one-" before I could finish she was already standing up. "You must be Eden Hadley Forbes, welcome to Forks! I have your packet printed out and Jessica here will give you a tour of the school." the woman in the blue blouse said pointing to the girl standing by the front desk.

"Hi, Im Jessica, it's nice to meet you Eden Hadley Forbes." she gave me a super wide smile while holding out her hand. Being raised with decency I shook it and said hello back. We made our way to my first class. Physiology. Yay. Please note the sarcasm in my yay. Jessica dropped me off and I walked in, hearing whispers of "oh look the new girl" and "who's that ''. Who's that you ask? The new kids dip shit who else. Giving my papers to the teacher who did not even bother looking up, I was signed into class and was told to go sit in the back with a boy named Emmet. Giving myself a long sigh, I made my way to the back. Seeing a 6'2 giant with a bad haircut and a smirk I eternally groaned. An ugly jock, of course. I would be stuck with a jock. A very fashionable ugly jock but a jock nonetheless.

"I'm Emmet, nice Porsche by the way." Pulling my chair out I sat down, gave him a nod and a thank you. I already learned all of this stuff about the human structure so I decided to just sit back and pretend to be reading. "BING" shit. My phone.

"There are no phones allowed in class, Newton if that's you. I'm sending you to detention." The grumpy bald teacher said looking up at his class seeing everyone just staring blankly back at him. "Finish your work, it's due at the end of the period." I had nothing to worry about given I was done but seeing these small town people they seem to 'struggle.'

Taking a look at my phone, it was my friend Perla, asking me if I got to Forks safely and if I made any new friends. Replying to her, I really thought about how awful it was before, this situation is awful too but it's not as bad. I do miss my friends though. Not that I had close friends like that but at least I knew people. Then I started thinking about my old school, how I would play softball with my team. How I would always look at her whenever I hit a home run. How she was there, the good the bad. How she became the bad and created the bad. How she never let my wounds heal. I began to think of her. It hurt to think of her. I was brought back to reality when the bell rang. So I packed up my stuff and headed out, but the time I was out the door Jessica was outside waiting for me. Forcing a smile I endured about 5 minutes of super dry small talk until I got to P.E, which I had with Jessica. Great, super fantastic. This day was already a drag, so much for a new beginning.

"Why are you two late? And why are YOU dressed like you're going out to town on a Friday night?" Ms.Lakay, the gym teacher, directed to me. Wow, she's forward to say the least. Her statement made everyone look at me. Looking down at my outfit, I see that maybe the black thigh highs and the baggy metallic shirt and leather jacket is a bit too much but hey I'm from the bay area. I figured to look nice on my first day of school.
