Chapter 1: My Life as Isabella Marie Swan
As everyone in New York City knows, my name is Isabella Marie Swan, but I prefer Bella. I am the seventeen year old daughter of Charles (Charlie) and Renee Swan. I am tall, lean, fit, and considered the "it" girl here. I am independent, determined, and strive to be the best at everything. I also sing, model, do sports, cheer, dance, and anything else I can possibly do. I want to live life knowing I have done everything I can in life. I also have two older brothers, Devon and Tristan who always protect me, but know not to stand in my way.
Charlie might be my dad, but he is also the owner of Swans Industries. Swan Industries is the best and most well-known business in New York and all around the world. He owns companies and a bunch of other things all around the world. My mom, Renee, on the other hand, loves fashion and is a designer. She also owns clothing stores and boutiques all around the world too. My parents both attended high school and Harvard University together. Both fell in love, graduated top of class with master degrees, and got married. My parents are both very wealthy, but they aren't ones to show off. Instead, they love to help the needy and hold fundraising and charity events. Charlie and Renee are also the one of the best-looking couples in New York and people are surprised they are still together too. My dad is tall and fit. He has chocolate brown eyes and pitch-black hair. My mom's a little shorter, but she is beautiful. She's lean, has hazelnut colored eyes, and short brown hair.
Now, I love my parents, but I also love my two older brothers. Devon and Tristan are fraternal twins and they are one year older than me. Devon is tall and muscular with sleek, black hair like Charlie's, but Renee's hazelnut eyes and a minute older than Tristan. Tristan is tall too and thin, but built with slick brown hair like Renee's, but Charlie's brown eyes. They are both ripped, and considered the hottest seniors guys in school.
The three of us are currently attending Trenton Academy, a private school, but lucky us, we don't have uniform. I am going to be junior and my brothers are going to be seniors. Not to brag, but we are one of the nicest, wealthiest, smartest, hottest, and most athletic too. We are the top of our classes and are always wanted by others. That's why it's so hard to know who our real friends are or not, but we have five best of the best friends. They are Edward, Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, and Alice.
Our best friends have been with us since we were all in diapers. Edward, Emmett, and Alice are the Cullens and siblings. Emmett, the eldest (same age as my brothers), is super big and muscular, but sweet at heart with short black hair. Edward and Alice are also twins and are juniors like me. Edward is a minute older and my boyfriend. He has mesmerizing emerald eyes and wild, bronze hair. He is also tall and built too! Alice on the other hand, is only about five feet and reminds me of a little pixie. She has short spiked hair. She's one of my best friends and she loves fashion, just like I do. Now Rosalie and Jasper Hale are twins and are also juniors. Jasper is tall with somewhat curly, blonde hair. Rosalie is beautiful too, like Alice and I, but she has long, blonde hair. Alice and Jasper are together, while Emmett is with Rosalie. Unlike us, my brothers are single and flirt with girls a lot, though they keep a distance.
Other people in my life consist of my best friends' parents and the kids from the Quileute tribe. Carlisle and Esme Cullen are the parents of Edward, Emmett, and Alice. Carlisle is tall, blond, and is one of the top doctors at New York City's Regional Hospital. Esme, Carlisle's wife, is a loving, stay-at-home mother, though she works at home as a decorator, cook, and planner of all festivities. She is rather good at it and sometimes works with Dave and Jill Hale, Jasper and Rosalie's parents. Dave and Jill have blond hair, are tall, and fit. Dave is a very successful lawyer and Jill is also a stay-at-home mom; they really enjoy helping Esme with her projects during their spare time. All of our parents have been best friends through high school, just like us I guess, but for all our lives. They were all high sweethearts, got married, became successful, and had us all before they were thirty. I guess the gene for success and smartness run in us and the rest that comes along are just privileges.
Now there is also Jacob or just Jake, my other best friend, who goes to school on the other end of the city with his tribe. He is tall, tan, and muscular and is with Leah Clearwater. Leah is very pretty with shoulder-length hair, and has a brother named Seth who is really funny, but likes to follow in the footsteps of Jacob. Then there are Jacob's other best friend Embry Call and Quil Ateara. Then the rest of the tribe kids are Sam Uley with his fiancée, Emily, Paul, Jared, Brady and Collin. There is also Rachel who is one of Jake's older sisters, but also with Paul. Kim is a good friend, who's with Jared, while Claire is Emily's cousin, and with Quil. Sam, Emily, Paul, Rachel, Jared, and Kim are seniors at their public high school. Jacob, Leah, Embry, Quil, and Claire are juniors like me. Seth is a sophomore, while Brady and Collin are freshmen. They came here from La Push in Washington to get a more "discovering" education than they would on their reservation.
A lot has happened in the past years, some memories more worth forgetting than others and vice versa, but we all pull through eventually…
Present:
"Wake up Bella!" yelled my brother Devon, the eldest twin.
"Yeah, we don't want to be late for the first day of school!" yelled Tristan, my other older brother, who is younger than Devon by only one minute.
"Okay, I'm up!" I yelled back to them, while looking at the clock reading 6:30 A.M. Oh joy, the first day of high school… again, but as a junior. Where did the summer go? Oh well, I better get ready.
I hopped out of my queen-sized bed and into my adjoining bathroom to brush my teeth, take a quick, warm shower, and blow-dry and comb my hair. By the time I got out it, it was only 7:00 A.M. I still had another half hour before our best friends came over, and one of them being my boyfriend, Edward Cullen. He is so hot and makes me feel like I'm on cloud nine. Then we have half an hour before school started at 8:00 A.M.
I then turned to go into my walk-in closet, fully stashed up by my mom on the latest clothes that are so in. Sometimes I wonder why my mom, Renee, goes overboard. She fills up my closet until I can barely walk in there and it's a walk-in closet! I end up wearing everything at least once and then, I have to give them to Goodwill because I run out of closet space. Though some clothes and things I can't live without so I put them in either my dresser or my other little closet on the other side of my enormous room. In the other closet I put everything that I can't live without, is personal, or important in so that everyone knows not to throw anything away because everyone knows not to ever throw anything from that closet into the trash or give it away. Now I was looking at my walk-in closet deciding what to wear for the first day of school. I decide on pair of white skinny jeans along with a one-shoulder sleeved, dark blue top. I add on some accessories and a little bit of mascara and head down, while picking up my baby blue colored Toms.
On my way down, I see my two brothers and hear them talking about some football game they just watched the other day. They soon notice me, and I quickly run down the huge flight of stairs.
"Good morning!" they yelled in unison, which got a giggle out of me.
"Good morning to you guys too," I replied as we all headed into the kitchen towards the breakfast table.
"Morning kids," the maid, Rita, said as she was getting our breakfast ready.
"Good morning," we all replied.
As I was sitting down at the table with my brothers, Tristan asked, "Where are mom and dad, Rita?"
"Oh, they left for work early," Rita said. Such a typical answer, they are almost never home due to the workload they have. Devon, Tristan, and I are usually by ourselves besides the time that Rita's here to cook and clean. Our house or should I say mansion consists of ten rooms, which is kind of spooky to be in when home by yourself. The master bedroom is my parents', but they barely are home to even sleep here. They are almost always on business trips and when they are home, they sleep to get well-rested for the next trip. There is a bedroom for each of us, a study for my dad, and a studio for my mom's fashion designs. That leaves us with a game room, a library, a guest bedroom, and a closet where my mom also stocks up on clothes for all of us. It has everything from collared shirts for socks. Each of our bedrooms, including the guest bedroom has a bathroom with a shower and tub. Then there is the living room, which is where we mostly hang out with all of our best friends and the dining room, where we hardly step into except for holiday dinners and parties. The backyard was huge too; we had a pool and Jacuzzi with a bar off to the side with tables on the patio. To be living in New York and having a house like this was amazing to say the least, but we lived like on the edge of town, so it all fit.
I was pulled out of my thoughts when the doorbell rang. I ran to answer it and there he was the god himself, Edward. He was in dark-washed, black jeans with a burgundy button up shirt paired off with some black Vans.
"Hey there beautiful," he said in his velvet voice.
"Hey yourself," I countered as I stretched up and pecked him on the lips.
"Hey Bella," everyone else said as they all came up the steps of our mansion. Emmett had his arm around Rose's shoulder while Jasper had his arms around Alice's waist.
"Morning," I replied and quickly led them back to the kitchen and table. We had half an hour for breakfast, and Rita was just about down frying the eggs as Edward and I headed to sit at the kitchen island and everyone else at the table with my brothers. They all exchanged hellos with my brothers and we all began to dig into our breakfast.
"So are you ready for the first day of school Bells?" asked Tristan.
"As ready as I'll ever be," I said while biting into a piece of bacon. "This is really good, thanks Rita," I said as I looked toward her where she was standing in her maid uniform that she has fun wearing, even though she's not required to. The uniform consisted of a black dress with a white apron or whatever a maid in the movies wears.
"You're very welcome, sweetie," she replied as she headed out of the kitchen. Then Edward and I talked about random things and how we thought junior year was going to be, while the others also talked about meaningless things for small talk.
Then, I took a good look at everyone else that I hadn't seen clearly today, which was everyone besides Edward and me, was dressed amazingly for the first day of school. Devon and Tristan were both wearing dark blue jeans; Tristan was wearing a black collared shirt, leaving the buttons undone, while Devon was in a burgundy button up shirt. Emmett was wearing dark blue shorts with a tight green T-shirt that showed off his muscles, which Rosalie must be really pleased with. Rosalie was wearing white skinny jeans too paired off with a bright red blouse that brought out her blue eyes. Jasper was in khaki jeans with a white button up shirt, while Alice was wearing black skinny jeans with a yellow ruffled blouse. The guys were all in either black Vans or black Converse. Rosalie wore gold heels and Alice was wearing yellow pumps.
When we were all finished with breakfast, Rita came back and cleared the table, while Edward went to get his backpack from Emmett's jeep, since he would be riding with me and my brothers. I went to go get my bag upstairs, along with my brothers, and it was decided we would take my car. I went into my room grabbed my bag, cell phone, and keys, and headed downstairs to the door near the front door that led to the garage. Once we got into the garage I hit the button that opened the garage and saw that my red 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia was the only one in the garage, which means my brothers' cars were taken by our parents to work since all of the other cars are most likely in storage in the other garage that's kind of off to the right of the house or in the shop for upgrades.
"Are ready to go sis?" Devon asked.
"Yeah, let's go," I said as my brothers squeezed in the back and Edward opened my door for me, then headed to the passenger's seat to get in. He insisted to drive, but I wanted him to relax, while I drove. I liked to drive fast and we would most likely get there early. The other four would be there too, since their in Emmett's jeep. We all liked to drive fast, it was just more convenient. I backed out of the garage and pressed the button in my car that was installed open and close the garage.
I stopped right next to Emmett's jeep and looked at Emmett signaling that we were ready to go and we sped off to the school that was located in the middle of the city.
My brothers grew into their own conversation and I took a glance at Edward. He was looking directly at me with so much love in his eyes and he said, "I love you."
"Love you too," I replied back and he picked up and held my right hand which was resting on the gear shift stick for the rest of the ride to school. Before I knew it, we entered the school's parking lot. I parked my car in my parking space that I acquired, since I have requested the school reserve it for me during freshmen year. It wasn't so hard considering our statuses in the world, school, and city. Emmett parked to my right and we grabbed our bags and hopped out. I locked my car and was heading with the group towards the front entrance of the school. Just then, guess who came up to us? Well, this is going to be fun…
Well, thanks for reading the first chapter. I hope you liked it. I know it might be kind of boring, but I wanted to get the basics about Bella's life out there first. It will get better though, I promise! Please review! :D
