Hey guys,

So here's a new story for ya'll!
I hope you like it, sorry for any errors.

I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT!!! Though if I did Jasper would be all mine!!!

"Oh my gosh!" Alice squealed in my ear, "Bella, we should totally do this!"

"Do what?" I asked, coming out of my daze.

Me and my best friend Alice were walking through the less than crowded corridor of Forks High School, and I had been completley at ease day dreaming about my perfect boyfriend. Until Alice happened to squeal in my ear. Scrap that. Until Alice Happened. Period. Okay, okay, I should be gratefull - Alice was the only one who understood me and had actually talked to me on my first day two years ago. I had already been branded a freak thanks to my dads blabbing. My boyfriend - Jake - goes to school in La Push, I miss him already. Sigh.

"BELLA!"

"Yeah, what?" I asked, snapping my vision back to Alice - who had an annoyed look destorting her pixie like features.

"Did you hear anything I just said?" She tisked.

"Um" Lie, thruth, lie, thruth, "No" Guess it's the truth.

Alice sighed heavily and muttered something about my ears being stuffed with fluff. She shook her head and pulled off one of the many pieces of paper adorning the grey walls. She handed me the paper and I read the bright orange print that was printed boldly on the page, pictures of cheesy happy looking kids splashed around the edges.

"England Exchange program" I murmured, "For two weeks you will host an exchange partner from England, one month later you will join them in England. For more information please see Mr Hanson"

"See! Won't it be exciting!" Alice cried gleefully.

"Alice" I sighed, "Whats the point?"

"Well... we might get partnered with really cute boys!"

"Ok, Alice, one; I have a boyfriend, two; isn't it kinda wrong we would get partnered with boys and three; it'll be way to much money!"

"Ok, Bella, one; Rose and I don't have boyfriends, two; it's not wrong if you're responsible like us and three; it won't be that much money!"

Damn Alice and her logic.

"Fine" I grumbled.

She squealed once more and grabbed my hand, dragging me off towards the English Department. On the way we found Rose collecting books from her locker, her usual hord of boys (*cough* stalkers *cough*) a few feet away. Without saying a word Alice snatched up Roses hand and pulled her along. Rose shot me a questioning look. I managed to pull the flyer out of my back pocket and hand it to Rose. I watched as her eyes scanned it, hoping she would disagree with it - and it looked like she was about to.

"Boys" Alice called behind her - stupid phsycic pixie.

A smile spread across Roses face and I knew I was screwed. Rose wanted a boyfriend just as much as Alice - odd that I'd be the first one to get a boyfriend. Well, it helps that Rosalie hates Jacob and Alice thinks he stinks like hell - which he does not. I don't know why they don't like him, they just don't.

We arrived outside Mr Hansons room - I was half hoping he was out sick today or something. No such luck, he was sitting at his desk, slightly balding as always, a scar prominant on his slighltly wrinkled chin, sipping coffee in a grey suit. Alice put on her best You-Know-You-Love-Me look and tapped politley.

"Come in" Mr Hanson called without turning away from the computer.

"Hi sir" Alice chirped, like an annoying bird.

"Take that scowl off your face!" Rose hissed at me.

Rose was the prettist girl I knew, with blonde hair that waved to the middle of her back, piercing blue eyes, full red lips and a slender figure that curved in all the right places - she was what every eighteen year old boy wanted. But she said she was looking for 'the One' - I think I've already found him (Jake!)! Seventeen year old Alice was small and pixie like, with elfin features and spiky black hair - every bit as pretty as Rose, but still looking for the 'One'. Gosh they were picky! Me? I was average. Average brown hair that never shone the way Roses did and boring brown eyes that never sparkled the way Alice's did. Average weight and average height for a seventeen year old girl. You might think that the wayI compared myself to the others I'd hate myself - but I'm comfortable - I've never been into fashion or shopping, (much to Alice's annoyance) I'm more of the reading type. But I'm happy with myself - honest.

"What can I do for you Alice?" Mr Hanson asked.

"We'd like to sign up for the exchange" Alice grinned, handing him the flyer she snatched off Rose.

"Ahhh, yes"

"Um sir" I jumped in tentitivley.

"Yes miss Swan?"

"Whats the whole point of this exchange - it's not like they speak a different language"

"I'm glad you asked Miss Swan" Oh joy.

"The point of the exchange is to learn about a culture that once was exactly the same in the US - and while we have different traditions now, the UK haven't changed much, I think it would be a nice experience!"

"It will be Mr Hanson!" Alice giggled - didn't need to be a mind reader to know what was going through her head - boys.

"So, um, sir, how much will this exchange cost?" Rose asked.

"Well, I'll need your parents to sign this permission slip and a deposit of $50, then a total of $150 over the next three months, when you have paid your second payment, you'll get the name of your exchange partner"

"So, will there be boys on this trip?" Alice asked innocently - well it probabley looked like that to Mr H.

"Yes" Mr Hanson smiled, "But they will not be paired with girls unless you put your name on this list saying you have an extra room" He indicated to a piece of paper that lay on his desk - three names already there; Lauren Mallory, Jassica Stanley and Tanya Denali. Sluts.

"Oh, we all have spare bedrooms - don't we girls, we'll all be happy to help out!" Alice chirped.

"Wha- " But Rose silenced me with a glare, as she put my name down as well as hers and Alice's.

Ok, so I did have a spare bedroom - but it was small and dingy, and, well, I didn't want to put a poor random guy through that experience - it would be to much.

After we signed up, the bell had gone, great - biology.

The hour dragged by slowly, and when the bell finally did go I got a text from my wonderfull boyfriend Jake, saying he couldn't come over tonight because he had extra football practice. I tried not to be too disappointed as I drove home in my old chevy truck - but that little trickle of diappiontment crept into my mind as I pulled up outside my small house.

I hoped my dad Charlie would refuse point blank to sign my permission slip and pay the $200 for the exchange. No suck luck. He grinned and said how this would be an excellent oppurtunity for me, and a small fee wouldn't get in the way of great oppurtunities. Note to self - don't let dad sign anything after American dreams soap opera.

So after my luck free day, I finally lay down in my average room, in my average house - knowing that nothing special would ever happen to a small town girl like me. Because all I was was average - and the only special thing in my life right now was Jacob. Not even he was here tonight to help me wallow in my own misery.

Sigh.

So.......

There it is, you'll never guess who her, Rose and Alice's exchanges will be!!!

This is actually going to be based on a true story - it happened to my friend (well, he was then).

But what his story is - you'll have to wait and find out!

So, all there's left to do now is for me to sign off and for YOU (thats it, you reading this right now - I see you!) to do is...

(Drum roll please!)
