"My Name is Rosalie Hale, I'm 17 years old and my life is definitely not over" I said right after I finally parked my car in what I had just claimed as my spot in my new house.

Those where the words I've been repeating to myself over and over again for the past three months, ever since my mother told me we were going to move to the other side of the country, well, probably not that far, but it's a heck of a long way from my home anyway!

I actually did not know why it was such a big deal for me, I have complained about how this was going to leave my friends and life behind, but I never actually made any friends back home, and I didn't really have a life, but I wasn't going to admit that the way my brother did, not even to myself, at least complaining was something to do.

My brother, Jasper, was much cooler about it, he knew he was an outcast as well as myself, But it didn't matter if he was in a healthier place than I was, because he was going to have to move anyway because he had to leave for college after the summer, and so we moved into the state he was going to have to go to when summer was over.

I took a deep breath and stepped out of my m3 before Jasper got to my window and started going on about something, I loved him, and we got along fine, but I wasn't in a mood to tolerate anything right now.

Stretching my legs out after the long drive felt good, each member of our family felt the same, because we had all drived here in each of our cars. We were not billionaires but we weren't exactly poor either. I looked up at the house; damn it was so much better looking than the old one, it didn't improve my mood, I really wanted to complain.

"Rose, Stop sulking about it. This is our new home, and we have all summer to get used to this place, make new friends and have a good time" Said jasper putting his arm around my shoulders. Dang I couldn't be mad at him now.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say Jazz, it's going to be absolutely spiffing" I answered in a voice full mock happiness. We both laughed at the ridiculous sound of such voice and went inside. We climbed the marble stairs all the way to the top, where both our rooms where supposed to be, after the long, rich carpeted hallway I turned to the left door, he turned to the one on the right.

I had to give it to my parents, they had done a good job, the room was huge, neat and luxurious. Perfect for a vanity head like my own. It had a humongous mirror with silver frames in which I could only admire myself that much better. I have never had a problem with admitting I'm gorgeous and I wasn't about to start. I headed towards he closet and my eyes widened, THIS was the prize my dad had given me for accepting to come here, a renovated wardrobe, the size of a department store.

After playing dress up for a while I ended up getting dressed in light blue capris and a darker blue tank top, it went so well with my eyes I couldn't resist, and then I headed to the king sized bed in the middle of the room, I was enjoying a couple bounces in the springy mattress when Jasper walked in.

"I see your finally enjoying yourself" he said smiling while leaning on the doorframe. I glared at him and grabbed a hideous pink pillow that probably came from planet frou-frou (I made a mental note to burn it later), I threw it at him and hit him square it the face "haven't you ever heard of knocking, what If I was changing clothes"

He laughed and came to sit next to me on the bed. "I've seen you naked before Rosie; we used to take baths together. He teased. "yeah, we also used to be two, may I remind you we both have developed a bit since then" I said pushing him of the bed playfully "oh touchy touchy" he said while getting up "anyway, sis, I came to tell you I was going out for a walk and a bit of exploring in the forest, you wanna come with?" he asked with a sparkle in his eye, I hated to say no to him when he was so eager, but I was not going into the forest dressed like this.

"Sorry, but I have to unload the car, and personalize this room, starting by getting rid of the frou-frou pillows on the bed, I might put them in your room though" I teased to get rid of the sad face he was giving me when I said no. "Fine, but if you change your mind, give me a call" and he left.

I had to give it to him, he didn't let anything get him down, then of course, he was so used to my mood swings. I was sad then, I used to go along with him everywhere, when I grew up and developed a personality that made me warp into what I was now. We only had each other back home, and I found myself hoping as I went back to the car that he would be right, that we would make friends.

It took me about three hours to unload the car, take out the pillows and hide them in Jaspers' bathtub, organize my beauty cabinet, and some other stuff. I was now flipping though the TV trying to find something to watch, and I was starting to get worried about Jazz, maybe there was dangerous animals in that forest, I pulled my cell out and called his number…no signal. I decided to give it another hour, then if he didn't pick up the phone, I was looking for him.

I half-heatedly started eating some ice-cream while watching a lame music documentary, "this is so stupid" I said while dipping the spoon into the ice-cream once more. "What is?" I jumped up and dropped the ice –cream all over the carpet; I hadn't noticed Jasper was back "you are!" I shrieked, looking at the mess he made me do. "You buffoon, we haven't been here for five hours and I'm already going to be in trouble with mom, because of you" I run at him and started whacking him where I could. "Chill rose! I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose, I was going to tell what I found in the forest, but that can wait, mom will get here in about an hour, I'll clean this up, and you can go get more ice-cream at the store that's fifteen minutes from here, drive past the park and you'll see it"

I thought about it, whacked him once more, and headed out the door, I didn't want to drive right now, but he had offered to do the cleaning, like he should seeing it had been his fault. I opened the driver door and got it, not without shouting "you better get that stain out" before I did.

I drove for about ten minutes and reached the park Jasper had told me about, I admired it, and decided that since I had a bit of time I was going to take a peek around. The park was huge and beautiful; it had an amazing clean lake in the middle, with a roped area used for swimming. Bright green trees, a multicolor flower garden and a very well taken care of playground. You could really tell it was a rich-zone park. I smiled smugly at the thought while I went over to admire the flowers by a jogging track. The scent was magnificent, I leaned even closer attracted like a magnet to the flowers and then. THUMP I was abruptly pushed into the flower bed and to my great luck they had just been watered so I felt the wet earth through the fabric of my clothes and all over my face and hair.

"Oh, my! I'm really sorry girl" said a deep guy's voice; I registered it to hate it. "Let me help you" he offered. "No thank you!" I answered while pushing me up, my clothes were covered in wet earth and there were dark blotches from the water as well. My exposed skin was full of scratches. I wiped my face and felt flowers come out of my hair. I was furious and as I was I looked up at the idiot.

I was shocked, for a second, in any other occasion my only definition of him would have been 'huge hot guy' but now it was "you Idiot! Can't you see where you are going, if you're so big use your brain to calculate what distance you have to put between yourself and people" I felt my blood rush to my face in anger.

"hey I said I was sorry, I didn't push you, I bumped into you by accident" he sounded offended, but I didn't care "the result was the same, look at what you did to me, you big jerk" and I left fuming, and muttering to myself "my name is Rosalie hale, I'm 18 years old and my life isn't over, it just got worse"

I went to the store, ignored all the stares, got the ice-cream and went back home, in a terrible mood. When I got back I put the ice-cream in the freezer and started to climb the stairs "Rose, is that you?" Jasper called out, and he must have assumed it was me because he continued "hey, come here for a moment" he added, I ignored him, I was going straight to my room, and so he heard me.

I heard him coming to mine while I headed toward my big mirror and started plucking leaves, flowers and thorns out of my beautiful blonde hair. "Rose, can you tell me why the water in my bathtub is pink and fluffy?" oh, that, I had forgotten about it, I tried not to laugh; I did not want to laugh. "Yes" I said struggling with a particularly entwined carnation. "So, are you going to tell me or… WHAT the hell happened to you?" he finally got to my room and saw me

I turned to him, "I was pushed into the flowers by a big jerk" and I turned back to plucking flowers. "Hmm, I was going to say. 'Get those pillows out of my bathtub' but I'm going to wait a while to say it" I smiled; he knew how to make me smile. "Good call, I'll take care of it after I take a shower" he frowned; he knew that could take long. I waited for him to tell me whatever he was frowning about, but his next words surprised me.

"I met a bear earlier" It distracted me so fast I stabbed my finger with a thorn I was plucking out. "What? In the forest, what did you do", he smiled in that calm way of his, I was immediately calmed too, my brother was so soothing he usually made you feel how he felt, weird. "relax, I just talked to him" I raised an eyebrow "and did the bear answer?" he laughed "as a matter of fact, yes he did, and I invited him for dinner, so he'll be here around 5:30 ,be fast with your shower I want you to meet him" and he left me there puzzled.

I got back to business and took my shower, during that time I heard the bell, I imagined a grizzly bear walking through my door, I hurried up, I was curious about this. When I finished I grabbed a pristine white towel and wrapped myself in it. After I Threw my earlier clothes down the laundry chute, then I remembered I was supposed to get rid of the frou-frou pillows. So I rushed over to Jasper's room, still wrapped in my towel and with my long hair dripping.

I rushed into his bathroom so fast I didn't even look to see if the room was clear, I was in the process of picking a now soaping, heavy, pink, fluffy pillow when I heard a loud Guffaw and my brother's shocked voice "ROSE!" I walked out of the bathroom, soaping pillow in hand, terrified. There was Jasper sitting on his sofa openmouthed, and next to him, the bear, or as I recognized him, the huge flower jerk.

"Rose, put some clothes on!" Jasper said as the jerk kept laughing. I was dumbfounded I couldn't move and while I didn't I heard the water dripping into the carpet coming out of the pillow and my ownhair. "So this is your sister, I met her before. Quite a temper she has" he said to Jasper, I just stared, then he turned to me "Hello Rosalie, that towel suits you well, I must say you look much better without the mud and flowers" he said with another booming laugh.

That did it, I growled and tossed the soaping pillow at the bear, "BIG JERK" I screeched, and I left, my brother with a shocked face, and the bear covered in water and pink fluff. I slammed the door and muttered "I'm having a really bad day"
