I
parked
in
front
of
the
first
building
,
which
had
a
small
sign
over
the
door
reading
front
office
.
No
one
else
was
parked
there
,
so
I
was
sure
it
was
off
limits
,
but
I
decided
I
would
get
directions
inside
instead
of
circling
around
in
the
rain
like
an
idiot
.
I
stepped
unwillingly
out
of
the
toasty
truck
cab
and
walked
down
a
little
stone
path
lined
with
dark
hedges
.
I
took
a
deep
breath
before
opening
the
door
.
Inside
,
it
was
brightly
lit
,
and
warmer
than
I
d
hoped
.
The
office
was
small
;
a
little
waiting
area
with
padded
folding
chairs
,
orange
-
flecked
commercial
carpet
,
notices
and
awards
cluttering
the
walls
,
a
big
clock
ticking
loudly
.
Plants
grew
everywhere
in
large
plastic
pots
,
as
if
there
wasn
t
enough
greenery
outside
.
The
room
was
cut
in
half
by
a
long
counter
,
cluttered
with
wire
baskets
full
of
papers
and
brightly
colored
flyers
taped
to
its
front
.
There
were
three
desks
behind
the
counter
,
one
of
which
was
manned
by
a
large
,
red
-
haired
woman
wearing
glasses
.
She
was
wearing
a
purple
t
-
shirt
,
which
immediately
made
me
feel
overdressed
.
82
The
red
-
haired
woman
looked
up
.
83
"
Can
I
help
you
?

"
I
m
Isabella
Swan
,
"
I
informed
her
,
and
saw
the
immediate
awareness
light
her
eyes
.
I
was
expected
,
a
topic
of
gossip
no
doubt
.
Daughter
of
the
Chief
s
flighty
ex
-
wife
,
come
home
at
last
.
85
"
Of
course
,
"
she
said
.
She
dug
through
a
precariously
stacked
pile
of
documents
on
her
desk
till
she
found
the
ones
she
was
looking
for
.
"
I
have
your
schedule
right
here
,
and
a
map
of
the
school
.
"
She
brought
several
sheets
to
the
counter
to
show
roe
.
86
She
went
through
my
classes
for
me
,
highlighting
the
best
route
to
each
on
the
map
,
and
gave
me
a
slip
to
have
each
teacher
sign
,
which
I
was
to
bring
back
at
the
end
of
the
day
.
She
smiled
at
me
and
hoped
,
like
Charlie
,
that
I
would
like
it
here
in
Forks
.
I
smiled
back
as
convincingly
as
I
could
.
87
When
I
went
back
out
to
my
truck
,
other
students
were
starting
to
arrive
.
I
drove
around
the
school
,
following
the
line
of
traffic
.
I
was
glad
to
see
that
most
of
the
cars
were
older
like
mine
,
nothing
flashy
.
At
home
I
d
lived
in
one
of
the
few
lower
-
income
neighborhoods
that
were
included
in
the
Paradise
Valley
District
.
It
was
a
common
thing
to
see
a
new
Mercedes
or
Porsche
in
the
student
lot
.
The
nicest
car
here
was
a
shiny
Volvo
,
and
it
stood
out
.
Still
,
I
cut
the
engine
as
soon
as
I
was
in
a
spot
,
so
that
the
thunderous
volume
wouldn
t
draw
attention
to
me
.

I
looked
at
the
map
in
the
truck
,
trying
to
memorize
it
now
;
hopefully
I
wouldn
t
have
to
walk
around
with
it
stuck
in
front
of
my
nose
all
day
.
I
stuffed
everything
in
my
bag
,
slung
the
strap
over
my
shoulder
,
and
sucked
in
a
huge
breath
.
89
I
can
do
this
,
I
lied
to
myself
feebly
.
No
one
was
going
to
bite
me
.
I
finally
exhaled
and
stepped
out
of
the
truck
.
90
I
kept
my
face
pulled
back
into
my
hood
as
I
walked
to
the
sidewalk
,
crowded
with
teenagers
.
My
plain
black
jacket
didn
t
stand
out
,
I
noticed
with
relief
.
