Disclaimer: I own nothing to do with Twilight. I’m merely a thirteen year old girl that loves to write about them.Chapter one-Forks?I threw my backpack into the house as I walked inside.I placed my car keys in the front pouch of my backpack before I walked into the kitchen, smelling an aroma so strong and delicious, I couldn't help myself. There was a batch full of warm chocolate chip cookies on a dark blue plate on the island in the middle of the kitchen.My mom was mixing up another batch; her jet black hair swaying in time with her hips as she mixed the wooden spoon around the plastic light blue bowl.I decided to make my presence known to the world. "Hey, Momma." I said, a smiled finding its way to my lips.She turned and smiled at me, her blue eyes brightening. "Alice!" She said, gathering me up into her soft arms in a hug."How was your day, sweetheart?" She asked, smoothing out my spikes. I giggled."Same as always. Where's Rose?" I asked, looking around the shinny kitchen for my older sister.My mom's eyes darkened for a moment, then smiled tenderly. "Shopping." She said, kissing my forehead lightly."So...Watcha makin?" I asked, trying to distract her.She turned to look at the bowl over her shoulder. "Cookies." She said, smiling again. "Now, scoot." She said, hitting my behind with a dish rag that was carelessly thrown over her shoulder as I walked away. I threw my head back and laughed.I sat on the black leather couch, in my hand was an old summer picture of Rosalie and I. It was taken three summers ago at the beach in La Push, where our Dad, Charlie lived. I was currently trying to pressure my mom to let Rose and I stay with Charlie for the rest of high school, she was currently thinking about it.The picture showed the two of us, in Bikinis, with our ol' dad.Rose was 5'7 with long, waist length golden hair and ocean blue eyes. She was pale, like me, even though we lived in the Valley of the Sun. She was annoying at some points, Bossy at others. We shared the same passion; Boys and Shopping. Rose was popular at our school, who had many friends and boy toys; While I had barely any friends and never had a boy friend.I was 4'10 with Jet black hair cropped and spiked in different directions -like a halo someone once said- that framed my face. I had brown eyes; from dad. I was spunky and bubbly. I have A.D.D, so I'm mostly hyper all the time.Our dad, Charlie Swan, was the protector of Forks, the Police cheif. Hell, his only car is the police crusier.I sighed and placed the picture down just as I heard the faint jingle of Rose's set of keys and the click, click, click, click of her High heels on the wooden floor."Hey Ali." She said, smiling at me as she dropped all fifteen shopping bags at her feet."Whats up?" She asked, ruffling my hair affectionately with her right hand. Her charm bracelet jingled on contact."Same." I said, folding my small legs under my petite body, my head resting on my fingertips as I laid my hands on the couch arm.We're driving slow through the snowOn fifth avenueAnd right now radio isAll that we can hearMan we ain't talked since we leftIt's so overdueIt's cold outsideBut between usIt's worse in hereRose giggled as she pulled out her cell."Hello?" She asked, twirling a lock of her golden hair. She giggled."Hey," She said seductively. It made me want to gag. After a while of their blabbing, Rose said something that made me really gag."Oh, really?" She giggled loudly. "You want to ruin my innocence? Wow, your a bad boy, a naughty boy, aren't you?"I realized that enough was enough. I grabbed my backpack and hurried to my room, trying to get away from the evil phone call.I walked up the stairs and into my room, throwing my backpack on my bed as I moved toward my computer.I turned it on and typed in the password.I clicked the internet explorer and clicked favorites.I scrolled down the massive pile of sites for designer clothing and clicked Gucci; one of my all time favorite sites to do my online shopping.xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx"Alice?" My mom asked, shaking my shoulder. "Honey? Family meeting down stairs. I have something important to tell you girls." She beamed. I nodded and wiped my eyes.When did I fall asleep? I looked over at my hell kitty alarm clock and gasped. 7:49 p.m. Wow. I slept the day away!I turned off my computer and sat up, rubbing my eyes quickly to erase all traces of sleep.I walked down the stairs to see Rosalie and my mom, seated in the living room. Rose looked bored, while Mom was beaming with excitement."Girls," She started as I sat down, "I have some very important news."Remember when I applied for that job in Africa?" We nodded. "Well, they hired me! I'm going to be traveling all though Africa for a year helping the villages where they can't afford medical treatment.""Wait." Rose said, holding up her hand. "Does this mean what I think it means?"A smile started to form on my face.My mom smiled wider. "I'm going to let you girls stay with Charlie while I'm gone."
