'Why does she… why does she look like Bella Swan?' Alex thought to himself as he gazed at the teen girl in front of him with pure shock, however, he managed to not change his expression, at least maintaining a slight ability to control himself at the world-shaking reveal he had just gotten.
"Bella?" Alex asked his voice soft, it was a test, a test to see if he was actually correct in his assumption.
"Yeah, Alex? Are you ready yet? I really don't want to be late for my first class." Bella replied as she gazed up at him, her expression showing slight confusion at Alex.
"Right, first class. Yeah, I'm ready." Alex replied as he started walking before he saw Bella looking at him with a different expression altogether.
'Is she looking at me like im a dumbass?' Alex thought for a moment.
"Ready? Where's your backpack?" Bella asked with a tone that clearly told a history of pure annoyance as she looked at Alex, one of her eyes twitching just slightly.
"Right. I forgot." Alex said as he quickly turned around and ran up the stairs towards his bedroom.
'I totally forgot about the backpack, I was a total dropout in college who never even brought his backpack at all.' Alex thought inwardly with a grimace as he looked around the small room he had woken up in.
Quickly enough a black backpack caught his eye, it was seated on the right side of the desk on the ground.
Quickly grabbing it and slinging it over his shoulder, Alex started walking downstairs.
"Where's Charlie?" Alex asked as he arrived downstairs, to see Bella already tying her shoes at the front door.
"He headed to work early, around an hour ago I think," Bella replied as she raised her head to look at the clock on the wall just above the dining table.
Turning around towards the clock, Alex quickly read the time before walking to the shoe drawer to get his own pair.
'It's seven am, and classes likely start at eight, Charlie left at six for work, so he likely woke up at around five am, it's useful to at least know his work schedule. Now the real important question is… which ones are my shoes damned it.' Alex thought to himself as he looked at four pairs of shoes in front of him.
'Please let it be the nikes, let it be the air force ones.' Alex thought as he grabbed the nikes, ignoring the rest which either looked too small, likely for females, or the ones that looked too old and out of fashion.
Starting to tie his shoes, Alex waited for Bella to ask him why he was wearing Charlie's shoes however the question never arrived.
'Thank god.' Alex thought to himself as he released a soft inward sigh of relief.
With his shoes, tied, the two quickly opened the front door and headed outside.
There Alex saw the small parking lot in front of the house as well as the famous orange Chevy.
'That thing has probably had fanfictions written just for it at some point in time.' Alex thought to himself releasing a soft chuckle as he walked to the passenger side and hopped inside, dropping the backpack at his feet before trying to close the door.
*Bang*
It didn't close.
*Baang*
Still didn't work.
Finally using all his strength, he slammed it, finally closing it properly.
"Shitty ass door," Alex murmured to himself as he turned to face the front only to notice Bella staring at him like he was a madman.
"What?" He asked confused.
"Nothing, I've just never heard you say any curse words before," Bella said as she closed her own door with a slam and turned the ignition key.
'He never said anything? What the hell? Shitty isn't even a curse word. Just what was the old owner of this body doing.' Alex thought to himself before shaking his head to clear his thoughts as the car started reversing onto the road.
'First of all, I need to hope that Edward can't read my mind. If he can? Well that complicates things, though I don't think I'd end up dead, but even then I need to be careful, this is the real world, not some fictional book, the characters I read about could act completely different. Like her for example.' Alex thought as he gazed at Bella who was driving with a scowl from the edge of his eye.
'The Bella from the books is awkward with others, the movie one even more so, yet this one clearly acts normally with me. Of course, this could be just because of this body's relation to her as her brother however it's still better to be on the careful side of things.' Alex thought as he gazed outside the window at the passing scenery.
It didn't take long, only around twenty-five minutes for the two of them to arrive at the Forks High School Parking Lot using the old Chevy.
Driving into the lot, the grating sound of the Chevy quickly gathered the attention of the entire student base as around a hundred or so people turned around to gaze towards them.
Bella looked like she wanted to kill herself as she drove into an empty parking space.
'I want to kill myself as well, but at the same time, this Chevy is a damn beast.' Alex thought as his lips twitched upwards at the sound the truck was making. It was so loud that it felt like the air was going to vibrate.
'Is it sounding even louder because of my anxiety?' Alex thought as he couldn't stop himself and released a soft chuckle.
'Well then, here I come… Forks Highschool.'
