Hey guys, miss me? Sorry, both RF and I have been busy this summer. That is why in the following week starting August 24 updates will be made throughout the site. Also information regarding the new version of 4FantasyReadersOnly will be previewing soon.
This entries going to be short because there is alot to update! Check back in a few day for the complete list of updates
Hey, everyone just wanted to keep you posted. Well, not much has changed besides the fact AF most likely tore her ACL playing soccer, and I rebroke my wrist. Don't worry AF and I are doing great. Apparantly, sorry if I'm wrong AF, but she was in the middle of a soccer game and went to kick the ball with her right foot and her left clapsed.
Anyway so in school we're having our big frog dissection day coming up on Monday. I want so badly to be the dissector, but deep down inside I just know I wont get it. AF is most likely to get it she's like 100% an "A" student.
And lastly I have good news and bad news. I finished my first chapter to IN THE MOONLIGHT! Unfortunatly it was terribly corny, to me, and way to awkward at some points. I erased it and instead of starting all over again I'm debating on making my prologue the first chapter and just keeping my preface the way it was. That way I can just keep adding onto the first chapter. And NO I will not be posting my first chapter I already have done or the one I'm gonna make.
Here's a sneek preview of part of chapter one of Breaking Dawn, and the cover.
1. ENGAGED
NO ONE IS STARING AT YOU, I promised myself. No one is staring at you. No one is staring at you.
But, because I couldn't lie convincingly even to myself, I had to check.
As I sat waiting for one of the three traffic lights in town to turn green, I peeked to the right — in her minivan, Mrs. Weber had turned her whole torso in my direction. Her eyes bored into mine, and I flinched back, wondering why she didn't drop her gaze or look ashamed. It was still considered rude to stare at people, wasn't it? Didn't that apply to me anymore?
Then I remembered that these windows were so darkly tinted that she probably had no idea if it was even me in here, let alone that I'd caught her looking. I tried to take some comfort in the fact that she wasn't really staring at me, just the car.
My car. Sigh.
I glanced to the left and groaned. Two pedestrians were frozen on the sidewalk, missing their chance to cross as they stared. Behind them, Mr. Marshall was gawking through the plate glass window of his little souvenir shop. At least he didn't have his nose pressed up against the glass. Yet.
The light turned green and, in my hurry to escape, I stomped on the gas pedal without thinking — the normal way I would have punched it to get my ancient Chevy truck moving.
Engine snarling like a hunting panther, the car jolted forward so fast that my body slammed into the black leather seat and my stomach flattened against my spine.
''Arg!'' I gasped as I fumbled for the brake. Keeping my head, I merely tapped the pedal. The car lurched to an absolute standstill anyway.
I couldn't bear to look around at the reaction. If there had been any doubt as to who was driving this car before, it was gone now. With the toe of my shoe, I gently nudged the gas pedal down one half millimeter, and the car shot forward again.
I managed to reach my goal, the gas station. If I hadn't been running on vapors, I wouldn't have come into town at all. I was going without a lot of things these days, like Pop-Tarts and shoelaces, to avoid spending time in public.
Moving as if I were in a race, I got the hatch open, the cap off, the card scanned, and the nozzle in the tank within seconds. Of course, there was nothing I could do to make the numbers on the gauge pick up the pace. They ticked by sluggishly, almost as if they were doing it just to annoy me.
It wasn't bright out — a typically drizzly day in Forks, Washington — but I still felt like a spotlight was trained on me, drawing attention to the delicate ring on my left hand. At times like this, sensing the eyes on my back, it felt as if the ring were pulsing like a neon sign: Look at me, look at me.
It was stupid to be so self-conscious, and I knew that. Besides my dad and mom, did it really matter what people were saying about my engagement? About my new car? About my mysterious acceptance into an Ivy League college? About the shiny black credit card that felt red-hot in my back pocket right now?
''Yeah, who cares what they think,'' I muttered under my breath.
