The Chances We Take

Not that they cared if I was hungry or not anyway. I hear footsteps coming my way. To my surprise its Edward and two tan skinned boys I don't recognize coming my way. The three boys sit at my table. Edward sat beside me and the other two across from us. Bella, this is Jacob and Seth.

She doesn't really talk much. Jacob is a big guy. He's got muscles on muscles and looks like the kind of guy you would see on a wrestling show. Seth on the other hand is small and lanky with an innocent presence around him. He's got a giant grin spread across his face. I glare at both of them. I've never had anyone sit with me at lunch before and I don't know what to do, or how to act. I snap back to the present when I hear Tanya's high - pitched voice.

I narrow my eyes at her as she approaches my table. Edward looked confused for a second. He turned to me, looking for an explanation as to what she was talking about, but I was staring at my hands in my lap. Here's the end of line for any possibility of making a friend this year.

Surely you've heard the rumors about her. They're all true too. I mean just look at her, she's ugly and disgusting and smells. She looks like she got her clothes out of the garbage can and she doesn't even talk. Like seriously who doesn't talk? Edward turned to look at me, but I couldn't make myself look up at him. Say goodbye to the only person that's ever been nice to you in at this school. I heard Jacob and Seth shuffle out of their sets with their food.

I looked up and expected to see Edward starting to leave, but instead I found him staring at me intently. He turned back to Tanya and said, "I don't see or smell anything wrong with her. She seems nice to me.

In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take! - Follow Your Detour

A hell of a lot nicer than you are actually. Why don't you go find someone else to bitch on for a while, Tanya? No one had ever stood up for me before, let alone stood up to Tanya for me. I wasn't the only one shocked at Edward's little speech either. Tanya stood completely still and just glared at him. Edward, on the other hand, seemed completely unfazed by his words and resumed eating. After a few more minutes of glaring, Tanya finally gave up and walked back to her table, not even noticing she had Seth and Jacob right behind her.

Ten minutes passed and Edward didn't say anything to me; he just sat and ate his food. The bell was about to ring and I knew I had to thank him for what he said. He stood up to go throw his trash away, but I grabbed his arm. He looked at me expectantly so I mouthed 'thank you'. He half - smiled. He started to walk to the garbage can, so I took this as my chance to leave. I didn't want to have to face him again. The rest of my day was pretty uneventful.

I didn't see Edward again which was a little disappointing, but Tanya didn't make any more snide comments to me for the rest of the day which was something new to me. Maybe having the hot new guy stand up for you in the cafeteria wasn't such a bad thing. The bus ride to my house doesn't take long enough. I'm not ready to see them.

I can live with being ignored and ridiculed by my peers, but I can't take what happens at home. I get off the bus and walk to the front door.

Great, just what I needed. This only happens when Phil, my foster dad, thinks I did something wrong with his breakfast this morning. He thinks this is an appropriate punishment for accidentally making his coffee a little too hot or cold or some stupid shit like that. I walk around to the back of the house only to find the door back there is locked too. Having no other option than to just wait outside until he or Renee, my foster mom, get home, I go sit down on the grass against the house.

I guess it can't get much worse than this. But, the universe seemed to hate me too because as soon as that thought crossed my mind, it began to pour down rain.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised though, this is Forks after all, the rainiest place in Washington. I sit outside for three hours while I wait for someone to get home. When Renee finally gets home, I'm relieved. Maybe I can make it to my room without adding more bruises to my collection. I wait about five minutes after I hear Renee walk in the house before I head in.

She doesn't give any inclination that she hears me as I walk in. I try to hurry to my room before she notices me, but I don't make it. I look down and try to rush to the laundry room hoping to avoid any more of Renee. She expects me to do everything around the house - laundry, dishes, cleaning, and cooking because I have to live with them. She sees foster kids as free labor.

If I don't work, I don't eat, according to Renee, not that they feed me anyway. Renee works at the only local day care in the middle of Forks. She changes jobs almost every year because she doesn't like to be bored with her life. I do the laundry and I wait until Renee leaves the kitchen to start cooking supper.

I look in the freezer only to find fish and some rotten looking hamburger meat. I start cooking when I hear Phil's police cruiser pull up in the drive way. He's off work early. He's going to kill me if his food and beer isn't ready when he walks in. He walks in and immediately seeks out his food. When he sees me still cooking it, he gets pissed. Where the fuck is my food at? I hope to have the chapters up every 2 to 3 weeks, but at least one up every month. Don't flame for that, I'm in college and have tons of work.

But anyway, the writing in the beginning is a little crappy, but it gets better, so if you don't like the style in the beginning, keep reading, I promise it gets better. Sirius the Secret Keeper: Although I am not happy with the way this story is written, it is a good idea but the writing sucks. It has great detail and I am personally very happy with it. The Sirius Black Story: I really wish I could go back in time and write a full fan fiction just on Sirius' childhood. It is my idea of how James and Sirius became friends and how Sirius finally got the strength to not become the Slytherin he was supposed to be.

I need to give my full attention to my own writings that I hope to get published. But I will say that writing here has taught me so much and has helped improve my writing greatly. I have my reviewers to that for that. Oh and I have acutally started writing again, since I have finally found the time. The first few chapters I start to write again will probably not be as good as I hope, but they will get back into the normal swing of things probably very soon.
