Chapter 1
One even when Bella and I got home from school, our mother was somewhat cleaning up the house to get ready for dinner. As well walked in, Phil, sweet, energetic, baseball player, that my mother so happens to love and be married to. (He makes her happy, which makes me and Bella happy that our mother is happy.) He walks in with his baseball gear in his hands.
"Hey, have you told them yet?" Phil asked our mother.
"No, I haven't." She told him then looked at us as we sat at the table.
"Told us what?" I asked as I looked at Bella.
"Girls in a few weeks were leaving to go to Florida." Our mother had told us. "Phil got a spot there and they want to see if he can kick it. 'Well hit it', what they call it."
"Wow that's great." I started to say then Bela spoke up.
"Can't I go to dads, while you do that. I don't want you to feel like your giving up for us. I can stay with him."
"Well I thought of that. I want you both to stay in school and I already talk to your dad. I'm sending you both to him."
"Oh, good." Bella had said as she got out her homework.
"Yay," I said sarcastically. "I mean, it will be great to see dad. I mean Bella is right, give you guys some alone time and a little vacation."
"It won't bother you will it Kat?"
I thought about it and yeah it does. But I nodded at her. I mean I love my dad and all, its just I'm not a big fan of his. The last few times I was there, all he did was work and we ate out at the local diner. But that was when I was 10 its been 5 years since I've been there.
One thing about him, he doesn't hover and basically let's you do whatever until its time not to do it. He's the chief of police of Forks, Washington. A small town that rarely has any crime. Does nothing but rain, hardly any sun.
As the next week and a half, I've said my goodbyes to all my friends at school and done a lot of shopping for the weather in Forks. I wouldn't need half of the clothes I have here since its for hot and sunny weather. But took some of it, just in case. The last few days, I thought about changing my hair and brought it up to our mom.
"So I was wondering, new place, new school, can I change my hair color?" I asked.
"Umm, sure. What color?" Our mom asked.
"How about red?"
"Sure, I can take you to the salon and get it done tomorrow after school. Bella you want anything done?"
"Eh, it could use a small trim I guess." Bella said as she was making herself a drink.
"Good, I'll call the salon and make an appointment for tomorrow." Our mother has said.
Later that night, as Bella and I made sure we had everything all packed and ready to go, I took a quick hot shower and got into bed. As I laid there, trying to go to sleep, I thought to myself about the move.
"Bells, you still awake?"
"Mhm," she said.
"What if going to dads will be bad?"
"Kat, we haven't seen dad since you were like 10. It will be great to see him. You know he ain't like any other father that is controlling."
"Yeah, which is weird since he's a cop."
"Kat, just be yourself. Things will go smoothly. Maybe you'll find a cute boyfriend there?"
"Or even you?"
"Please, boys don't see me like they see you." Bella told me.
"Mhm," I hummed then rolled over to go to bed.
As I laid there thinking how it will go. Sleep finally came for me.
The next day, I woke up got ready for school. Today was the last day that I would see my friends, this school, til whenever we come back. That's if we ever come back.
Once I got out of the nice hot shower, I done my hair nice in 4 different layers of braids then the rest slick back. Then once I had them braided, I grabbed my favorite skinny jeans (black with rips at the knees) and my turtle neck white and gray tank top. And to top the outfit off, my favorite black boots.
Once I was dressed, I added a little make-up to make myself look cuter than I already am. Natural colors, didn't want to over do it. After that, I went downstairs to get me a little bit before leaving with my sister for school.
Bella, she was the responsible one out of me and her. She went by the rules and I did to but not like her. She was sorta a boring person. Dressed like she didn't care what she looked like. I mean she has her moments where she would dress up nice. But nothing like me though. She was the bread, boring. Me, I was the butter, delicious but fattening.
"Well girls last day, how you y'all feeling?" Our mother asked?
"Awesome, fantastic." I said sarcastic.
"Kat?" My mother said.
"What, its the truth. I'm gonna miss my friends." I whined.
"It ain't like were not coming back." Bella had said. "Right?"
"Yeah, eventually. After we see what's going on in Florida with Phil." Our mother said as she looked up at the clock. "Time to go, before your late." She said as she shooed us out the door.
As Bella and I got our things, we was about to go catch the bus when Phil was walking up the door.
"Kat!" He hollered.
I looked over at him right as he threw me his keys.
"Don't scratch her up." He said as I caught them.
"Shut up, your letting us take your car?" I asked.
"You got your permit, you know how to drive. Plus if you get pulled over Bella has her driver license, so y'all are good." Phil said laughing some.
"Think of it a last day gift." Our mother said standing by the front door.
I screamed a little than ran to the car and hopped in. Bella shook her head then got in.
I started up the car, made sure the mirrors were where I needed them to be than put on my seat belt before taking off towards the school.
The school was about a 15 minute drive from our house but it was worth it. Instead of waiting about half an hour on the bus just to get to school. Once we got there, I parked the car and got out.
Bella went her way towards the school, as I, stood there looking at the school for just a moment. When the bus finally showed up, my friends got out and ran over to me.
"You drove to school?" Parker asked?
"Yeah, Phil threw me his keys and said take the car. I was shocked. Mom said take it as a gift for the day, since its my last day here." I had said looking down.
"Damnit, it is your last day here." Sara has said looking sad.
"Yep." I said popping on the "P".
As the bell run, we all went inside to get the day on with good olé learning.
