"When someone is talking"
When someone is thinking
Chapter 1: First Impressions
[First Impressions; Original title of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen]
Doesn't even feel like we left home, Bella thought as she stared out the window of the police cruiser.
"I know Bells, it's like Manchester just bigger", Gabby said from the backseat.
"I still don't get how you two do that", Charlie said as he turned down a street, he was of course referring to the fact that the girls could always tell what the other was thinking.
"I told you dad, Gabby and I are twins she just came two years and two months later", Bella replied and Gabby smiled and nodded. They finally arrived in front of their dad's house and he pulled into the driveway. They got out and helped Charlie get the stuff out of the trunk.
"I thought all your stuff was being mailed and that you only bought the essentials?" Charlie asked as he took out three large suitcases and one small one. The girls each had took out a medium sized bag and had a small bag over their shoulders.
"These are just the essentials," Gabby said and walked to the front door with Bella behind her. Charlie shook his head in amusement, he would have to get used to the idea of girls in the house. Charlie showed them to their rooms, both of which faced the front of the house, while Charlie's faced the back. Both rooms had a small balcony and a walk in wardrobe. There was a bathroom between their rooms, which was only accessible through their rooms as well. Charlie had to get back to work so the girls started to unpack, well Bella unpacked Gabby lay on her bed and watched her. "So what do you think?" Bella didn't need to ask what she was talking about.
"I don't know, everything seems ok. Dad is really making an effort, he got us both a laptop each," Bella replied while putting her clothes away. "We'll have to see how school goes tomorrow."
"At least we're used to this kind of weather," Gabby said sitting up on the bed. Bella nodded and plugged in her istation. She took out her iPod and attached it and played whatever song was on last.
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know
Bella opened her balcony doors and then walked into the bathroom to put her things in the bathroom.
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Gabby started to sing along and Bella joined in. Therefore they didn't hear the two cars pull up in front of the two houses directly in front of their new home.
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes
"I didn't know Charlie was a fan of Taylor Swift," a little girl with spiky black hair said as she got out of a red BMW convertible. A beautiful tall blonde got out from the driver's side and looked at the little girl.
"Neither did I Alice," she said slightly amused.
"It can't be Charlie, his car is not there," said a big guy with short curly brown hair as he jumped out of a jeep. Two other boys got out of the jeep as well. They were both tall, one of them was a blond and the other had bronze hair and they both looked amused.
... And said, marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
A woman with long wavy bronze hair came out of one of the houses just as the song finished and another one started (Take a Bow by Rihanna).
"Looks like Charlie's daughters are finally here," the woman said to the five teenagers in front of her. "I'm glad, he has done nothing but talk about them arriving for over a month." They all walked into the house. Alice looked up at the open balcony window just as a girl walked past it, she had long dark brown hair but she couldn't see her face.

"Get up! Come on G!" Bella said shaking her sister awake and walked into her own room to get dressed. She walked into her wardrobe as Gabby got up and went into the shower. An hour later Bella was dressed in black skinny jeans and a green top with a black waist belt. She put on her knee-high dark green boots. Gabby walked into her room wearing blue G-stars with her long-sleeved red Manchester United shirt. She sat on Bella's bed and pulled on her black ugg boots. Bella got up and pulled on a long black dress coat and threw a short sleeve-less black jacket to Gabby. She pulled it on as Bella grabbed her Jane Morgan bag.
"Hurry up girls, I have to get to work," Charlie shouted from downstairs.
"Be down in a minute dad," Bella yelled as she took one last look in her mirror before walking out of her room. Gabby came out of her room with her Manchester United drawstring bag. They walked downstairs and Bella quickly made two bagels and ran out of the house and into the car. Gabby was sitting in the back, she found the idea amusing as it made her look like a criminal. Bella passed her a bagel as Charlie started the engine and took off down the road. They arrived at the school at 7:30, they got out of the car. There were only a couple of cars in the parking lot, a yellow Porsche and a dark green land rover were parked closest to school. They said bye to Charlie and walked through the parking lot to the administration building. They told the lady who they were and she got a little excited. They got their timetables and their locker numbers and the combinations for them.
"I'll remember both mine and your locker combination, don't worry," Bella said to Gabby. She looked down at her timetable then at Gabby's. "We have gym at the same time, right before lunch."
"Cool, now what the fuck is Calculus?" Gabby asked looking at her timetable.
"Language, and its maths," Bella replied. "More importantly we have to ensure we don't get lost, you know our sense of direction sucks beyond compare." Gabby nodded as they walked down a corridor looking for their classes and getting a lot of stares in the process. "You would think that they haven't seen a girl before," Bella huffed. They couldn't find the classrooms, so they looked at the map they were given and tried to figure out where the hell they were. A big guy with short curly brown hair walked in through some doors with two other guys. One with short black hair and the other with short brown hair. They noticed the girls looking around and walked up to them.
"Hey, do you need any help you look a bit lost?" The big guy asked them.
"Yeah we are, do you know where these two classes are?" Bella asked showing him their timetables.
"Yeah, come on we'll show you," he said as he started to walk. "I'm Emmett, this is Liam," he pointed at the guy with black hair, "And Eleazar," he pointed at the other guy. They both smiled and nodded in their direction.
"Hi, I'm Gabby and this is my sister Bella," Gabby said smiling at them.
"What year are you two in?" Emmett asked.
"Oh um what are ...?" Gabby started to ask.
"She is a freshmen and I'm a junior. How about you guys?" Bella asked.
"We're seniors," Emmett replied and stopped at a door. "This is the calculus class, you were looking for."
"Ok, thanks for your help," Gabby said to the guys. "I'll see you later Bells." She walked into the half full class. Bella walked off with the boys in another direction.
"Here you go, this is your history class," Emmett said.
"Thanks, I would have been looking for ages," Bella said and walked into the almost empty classroom. The teacher looked up as she walked in and she told her to take a seat in the middle row next to a girl with long black hair. She sat down and took out her note book and a pen.
"I love the Nightmare before Christmas," the girl said to Bella looking at her note book, which had Jack skellington on it. "I'm Tia O'Connell."
"Bella Swan," Bella replied.
"Did you just move here?"
"Yeah me and my sister just moved in with my dad, we used to live with my mum in England," Bella said as people started to arrive. She talked to Tia until the lesson started. She got along well with her and at the end of the class Tia showed her where her next class, Calculus was. I hope Gabby is doing ok.
---
Gabby sat down in the seat the teacher had indicated dreading the lesson. She hated maths even if she was good at it. Everyone that was already in class was staring at her, oh honestly.
"Hi, I'm Jacob Black and this is James Harris," the boy sat in front of her said as he pointed to himself and then the boy sat next to him with dirty blond hair.
"Hi, I'm Gabby Swan," Gabby replied smiling at them both just as the bell rang and three boys ran in, receiving a glare from the teacher. One sat down on the other side of Jacob and the other two sat down on either side of Gabby. The teacher started the lesson so there was no more time to talk. At the end of the lesson she found out that three boys were Quil Ateara, Embry Call and Charles Brendon. They escorted her to her next lesson Chemistry, Jacob and James were both in that class as well. She walked in with them smiling at how the day was going. I hope Bella is ok, she hates being the new kid more than me.
---
Bella walked out off her Calculus class slightly annoyed, she had spent the lesson trying to ignore this annoying boy called Mike, argh! She tried to find her English class but failed miserably. She was starting to get annoyed yet again.
"Are you lost again?" She turned around to see Emmett standing there with a gorgeous blonde. She nodded in response. He smiled and looked at her timetable. "You're taking AP English?"
"I like English," Bella said defensively as they walked down a corridor.
"Ok, this Rosalie my girlfriend. And Rose this is Bella, the chief's daughter," Emmett said.
"Hi, it's nice to meet you," Bella said
"Hey, it's nice to meet you too," Rosalie said. They arrived at the English class and said bye to Bella before walking off to their own class. Bella entered the noisy class, which instantly quietened down.
Oh no, do they have to do that. This is hard enough already, Bella thought miserably as everyone stared at her, she could feel her cheeks heat up.
"Ah you must be Isabella Swan, right?" The teacher asked, Bella nodded but muttered 'Bella' under her breath. "Right well you can take a seat over there between Mr Cullen and Mr Yorkie." Bella walked to the seat he had pointed to and sat down quickly taking her things out of her bag. "Right class I just want you to carry on with yesterdays work and then we will discuss it. Miss Swan why don't you just read chapters one and two, so that you can take part in the discussion." The teacher said handing her a book and walking back to the front. Bella looked at the book and smiled, Pride and Prejudice. This was her favourite book, she loved it, and knew she was going to enjoy this lesson.
"Hi, I'm Edward Cullen," the boy to her left said. She looked to see a gorgeous guy with bronze hair and forest green eyes.
"Bella," it was all she could manage to say to him.
"You're the chief's daughter, right?" He asked her and she nodded in response. He smiled at her and started doing his work. Bella opened the book and tried to read it but she couldn't focus, it didn't matter she had read the book a thousand times before. The lesson went past quickly and as soon as the bell rang she rushed off to gym. She managed to find it without getting lost, woohoo! She got changed into her gym kit, consisting of blue Nike trackys and a green t-shirt. She pulled her hair into a pony tail and walked out to join her class.
Oh great Mike is in this class as well, just peachy. Their gym teacher came and she saw Gabby on the other side of the gym with her class, she smiled at her and she smiled back. They were playing Volleyball today, which was ok as Bella knew how to play this sport. She looked round the class and noticed that Edward was in this class as well, he was standing next to a tall blond guy. The teacher split everyone into teams and then made them play against each other. In Bella's team there was the tall blond guy, a small girl with spiky black hair, an Asian girl and Edward. Their team was playing first, so Bella stood and waited while the net was set up.
"Hey, I'm Alice Cullen, this is Angela Weber and the blond over there is my boyfriend Jasper Hale and with him is my twin Edward," the small black haired girl said.
"Hi, I'm Bella," Bella replied. "Edward's in my English class." Alice smiled and was about to say something but they were called to start the game. It went rather well, they beat the other team and then waited while the other teams played.
"Pssssst," Bella turned around and saw Gabby standing there with two boys. "Hey, how's it going?"
"Good, I managed to make it to all my classes without getting lost," Bella replied, Gabby raised both her eyebrows at her. "Ok so I may have been escorted to most – fine all of them but I got to gym all by myself."
"That's good, this is Jacob and James," Gabby said indicating the two boys. "There in most of my classes. This is my sister Bella."
"Hey guys,"
"Hey," the both of them said simultaneously.
"Bella, oh hi," Alice said as she came over with two bottles of water. She gave one to Bella.
"Alice, this is my sister Gabby and her two new friends –"
"I know Jacob and James, hey guys. Hello Gabby, it's ok if I call you that?"
"If you're Bella's friend then I guess so," Gabby said.
"Of course I am, do you know she is the only one who has actually listened when I talk about fashion," Alice said happily and Bella smiled in response.
Once Gym was over it was time for lunch. As Bella came out of the changing rooms she saw Alice standing there waiting for her.
"Come on, time for lunch," Alice said smiling and linking arms with Bella. Bella smiled to herself, it looked like she had had made a friend without realising it. Maybe this move won't be so bad after all. They entered the cafeteria and walked over to the lunch line to get some food. Once they had their food Alice dragged her over to a large table, it looked like about four tables had been put together. She sat down at one end with Alice on her right. Jasper was sat next to her with Edward on his right and three other boys with them. A few seats down sat Eleazar and Liam. Angela was sat next to Bella on her left, Tia came over and sat down in front of her with two other girls. They were both blonde but one had strawberry blonde hair instead.
"Hey Bella," Tia said
"Hey,"
"Hey Bella, I'm Tanya," said the strawberry blonde one. "And this is Charlotte," she indicated the girl next to her, who said hi. They were sat eating their lunch and Alice was filling her in about everything.
"... So you know Jasper and Edward already. The three guys sat with them are Garett, Peter and Benjamin. Over there towards the end of the table that is Eleaz-"
"I met them this morning," Bella interrupted.
"Oh ok, well here comes Rosalie with Carmen and Irina. Rose and Carmen are cheerleaders. Rose is Jasper's older sister and they live next door to us. Irina is Tanya's older sister. That long table over there is Aro's group. He is the leader, Caius and Marcus are next. Didyme is Aro's sister and that is all I really know about her. All the others around them are their followers, they do whatever the three say. Afton is just annoying and he is with Chelsea. I hate her she is horrible she can easily rip a relationship apart and does it sometimes when she's bored. Demetri is well, I don't know but he tends to follow people around sometimes. Felix well, yeah he's just weird. Those four there are new editions, freshman. The blond ones are twins Jane and Alec. The others are Corin and Santiago, I'm not sure what they are like just yet. But the fact that Aro let them in his group makes me a little wary of them. Those three girls there are Kachiri, Senna and Zafrina and I personally think they are going for the title of the Plastics."
"I love that film," Bella said highly amused. Alice laughed and looked around to continue.
"That's Eric, Maggie and Renata, they are the nerds. Eric is slightly annoying but I don't know about the other two yet." A bunch of girls walk in leading them a beautiful brunette. "That is Heidi Davids, she is the head cheerleader and the Queen B. The other with her are Athenodora Del Piero, she's dating Aro, Sulpicia (Bella laughs) Pirlo, she's dating Caius. Lauren, Mary and Bree, who are all in our year. They are all cheerleaders as well. Oh and that girl following them is Jessica Stanley, she is such a wannabe. Oh let's not forget Stefan and Vladmir Verbinski the resident potheads, they are always high I don't know how the teachers haven't caught on yet."
"Hey Bells," Gabby said as she approached the table with five boys.
"Hey Gabby, guys this is my sister Gabriella. Gabby um everyone," Bella said and Gabby gave her a look. "What? OK, Alice, Angela, Tia, Tanya, Charlotte, Jasper, Edward, Garett, Peter, Benjamin, Eleazar, Liam, Rosalie, Carmen and Irina." She pointed at everyone as she said this.
"Wow, you have a good memory," Alice said as Emmett approached the table with a small girl who had shoulder length curly bronze hair.
"Hey everyone, Hey Bella, Gabby," Emmett said cheerfully he had a lot of food on his tray. "This is my cousin Reneesmee Mason, and Nessie this is Bella and Gabby, Charlie's daughters."
"Hey," she said in a small voice.
"Hey, why don't you sit here," Gabby said indicating the seat next to her and in front of Jasper and Edward. Emmett walked to the other end of the table and sat down and instantly started eating. Everyone started talking to one another, Alice started talking to Bella and Gabby talked to Reneesme, and noticed how Jacob was looking at her.
As the bell rang for fifth period everyone got up and started making their way to their classes.
"See you later Bells," Gabby called as she walked off with her new friends.
"See ya," Bella shouted back as she made her way out. She stopped when she realised she had no idea which way to go. She looked at her timetable, Biology.
"This way, come on," Alice said as she saw her timetable and dragged her off. Once they were at the right class she took off for her own class. Bella entered the class, she saw Edward sitting in the back by himself and Benjamin and Jasper sitting at the desk in front of him. They called her over, she went over and also noticed that Mike was in this class as well.
"Hey Bella, you can sit next to Edward," Jasper said calmly. " No one's sitting there." Bella sat down next to Edward just as the teacher walked in and started the lesson.
At the end of the lesson Benjamin turned around as Bella was putting her things away.
"What lesson do you have next, Bella?"
"Music," Bella replied as she showed them her timetable. Benjamin smiled, he seemed very happy about something. "Edward's in this class as well, I'm sure he can take you there." Bella looked up and Edward smiled at her, she looked down quickly and nodded and walked towards the door. When she reached the door she turned to make sure Edward was there. They said bye to the other two and then walked to their music class. They were silent the whole way there. Once everyone was settled in class, the teacher told everyone to get their instruments out. She gave Bella a guitar as she was told that that was what she could play. Edward was sat at the piano. They were given a music piece that they had to play in turn. At the end of lesson Bella put the guitar away and grabbed her bag and made her way to the door. She stopped just outside not sure if she should wait for Edward or not. He came out and when he saw her he smiled. They walked to their lockers, which were incidentally next to each other. Gabby arrived as her locker was next to Bella's. Bella leaned round her locker and opened Gabby's for her. Once they were done they walked to the parking lot. Jacob and James said bye and walked over to Jacob's sister who was waiting by her car.
"Do you need a lift?" Edward asked Bella and Gabby.
"No thanks, Alice already offered to drop us home," Bella replied and walked over to the yellow Porsche. Rosalie held the seat so that they could climb into the back along with Reneesme and then sat down in the seat as Alice got into the driver's seat.
"Bella do you have your licence? Cause I know the age limit is different," Rosalie asked as Alice pulled out of the parking lot.
"No I don't cause in England you can't get your licence till you are 18 and you have to be 17 to get a learner's permit," Bella explained. "A provisional," she added explaining to Gabby. "Dad said he would arrange driving lessons for me, this weekend."
"Oh well that's good then."
Alice pulled into the driveway of her house and they all got out.
"Wait you live right in front of us?" Gabby asked
"Yep, so from now on we can go to school together," Alice said. "That's ok, right?" Bella and Gabby nodded in agreement. "You guys wanna come inside?"
"Ok", they walked inside the massive house. A woman with wavy bronze hair walked in.
"Hey mum, this is Bella and Gabby," Alice said as she placed her bag on the table followed by Rosalie and Reneesme.
"So you are Charlie's daughters, finally we get to meet. I'm Esme," Esme said and hugged Bella and Gabby.
"It's nice to meet you."
They sat and watched some films and talked. Reneesme explained that her parents are on some business trip, which means they have to travel a lot so she is staying with the Cullens (Esme and her mum are sisters) until then.
"I love what you've done with your eyes, how do you get the eyeliner so straight?" Rosalie asked Gabby looking at the eyeliner she had put on Cleopatra style. Gabby started to explain to her and Reneesme. Alice and Bella talked more about fashion and planned a shopping trip. Bella and Gabby ended up staying for dinner as Charlie said he was going to be late. Afterwards they decided to head home. As they walked out of the house they saw the boys get out of Jasper's car.
"Hey guys," Bella and Gabby said simultaneously.
"Have you guys been here since you got back from school?" Emmett asked as he walked up to them with Edward.
"Yeah, we hung out, watched movies, girl talk etc," Gabby said. "See you guys tomorrow."
"Bye," Bella said they walked across to their house.
"If we didn't have to wait for Emmett to finish with the football tryouts, then we would have been here with them," Jasper said quietly to Edward before taking the food Alice gave him and walking to his own house. Edward sighed and walked inside and sat down to eat. He had only known her a day and already she was all he could think about.
Bella, what have you done to me?
Well there we, chapter 1 done. What did you think? Read and review pleaseeeeee. Also if someone could let me know the names of some shops that would be in a mall in Washington that would be a great help. I will update as soon as I can.
