A New In Your Picture
I sat at the massive glass table, which stretched along the smooth marble floor. I sighed I should be the happiest person alive. My parents were millionaires and I was to inherit everything they owned. But here I sat all alone in this monster of a house.
The people that fluttered around me in the houses didn't love me, they were paid to make sure I ate and the house was clean. They were paid to be here and stay with me, they had a choice. Yet the two people that should be here because they love me are gone. Busy, to busy for their only daughter. I Isabella Swan sit in an eight bedroom house all alone, while my parent Charlie swan and Renee Swan are at some party. Faces painted with a big smile as the wine and champagne are flowing. Talking to someone important, not worried what their seventeen year old daughter is doing or where she is.
I was proud of my parents they worked for what we have now. Charlie a CEO of a big bank in Seattle, Renee successfully opened a line of ballet studios all around the country.
I climbed the stairs to my bedroom. I loved my bedroom it was black and red. The wall that had my bed pushed against was painted black, with a big red flower spray painted on it. The furniture was red and the room really stood out. I loved it and I did it all by myself, I refused dads offer of designers and painters.
I slipped out of my red skinny jeans and but on my jogging pants. I slid into my soft warm bed. I looked around my room for something to do but nothing interested me, I strained my ear to hear around the house but it was silent. My only option was to listen to my heartbeat.
The sound was soothing and it was telling me that I was dealing with the heartbreak that was rising in me. I knew at any point I could just spill over.
The rain pounded on my window and took me out of my thoughts. I sighed there is never a day when it is not raining in Forks.
Because of my rich parents I have missed out on a lot of normal teenage experiences. Like I have never been to high school, there are so many things I am missing out on.
Mother thought that it would be a good idea if I did start school now as I was now seventeen. So tomorrow will be my first day at Forks high. A mixed private school my father picked out.
I smiled to myself I was finally getting to do what I wanted in my life.
I stayed up until the moon started to slip into the sky and my room turned black. Then I slipped into a haunted sleep.
The sun rose early and peeked through the gap in my curtain. I stretched my bones before climbing out of bed, then set off to my morning routine. I had severs, cooks and maids fuss over me all breakfast. My parents were still not around and couldn't even leave a note wishing me good luck on my first day of school. I felt my heart give a little tear; I would be surprised if they even remembered that they had a daughter.
I sometimes questioned if my parents even loved me or was I just the mistake that they don't want. It hurt but it was most likely to be the truth.
I didn't dwell on that thought and got dressed in my school uniform. I put on my white shirt and navy cropped school jumper that had the school crest on the breast. My navy skirt and blazer and knee high black socks. As school shoes I resorted to my black scruffy converses. For my hair I just left it curly as it was, not trying to attempt on control it.
I sighed and gave myself the once over in the mirror, now I was ready for school.
I drove my Aston Martin into school I was worried that it would look out of place and over the top. I didn't want any attention pointed at me, but to my surprise there were plenty of cars like mine all sleek, shiny and new.
I parked next to the shiny sliver Volvo, I looked around if the owner was present but they didn't seem to be so I smiled.
"Okay Bella don't fuck up your first day" I begged myself before stepping out of my car.
The school was very old fashioned; it looked like an old castle, which should belong in England. It seemed so out of place. The grey clouds hung over the school.
I made my way to the clearly pointed out main office. The warmth hit me as soon as I opened the office door. There was an old lady sitting behind the desk, I walked up to her and smiled.
"Hi I'm Isabella Swan, I am new here" I said.
"Oh darling well Isabella, here is your map of the school and timetable" she smiled and handed me some papers.
"Thank you" I smiled brightly at her.
"Welcome, have a nice day dear" she beamed.
I walked out into the cold and pulled my blazer across my chest more tightly. I took out my blackberry and started to listen to some music. I think Lostprophets and Framing Hanley were a great cure for morning blues.
I quickly checked my timetable to see that I had maths first, maths wasn't my favourite subject but it was very important.
When I walked into the classroom there was no teacher, so I took a seat at the back of the classroom with my headphones in. I saw a blonde haired girls lips move and she picked up a magazine and pointed to the picture and then at me. I narrowed my eyes, everyone's head turned towards me. I glared at the blonde girl, she wasn't that pretty. But I guess everyone loved her and she was miss popular.
I took my headphones out and glared at the class "what do you want? Take a picture would you it would last a hell of a lot longer"
I wasn't normally rude, but I hated the attention being on me. I wasn't used to it; normally I was just a shadow of my parent's success.
The blonde girl came over to my table and leaned over it so she could look me in the eye.
"Hi" I said to her confused.
"Oh my god you're Isabella Swan, aren't you?" she gushed at me.
"Um yes and its just Bella, how do you know my name?" I asked.
She slammed a magazine on my table and tapped the picture of me and my mother at one of her ballet openings in California. "You are like one of the richest teenagers in the world; I hear your house is the biggest in the state"
This was all true, I grimaced so much for a normal life, and yet still from another city my parents managed to ruin my life.
"Okay class sit down" I was saved by the teacher. Everyone moved to a free seat and set there eyes to the front of the class.
The bell for morning break went, I was so happy to free myself of the staring eyes. I chanted to myself that things would only just get better.
"Hey you're the new girl" I turned around to see a beautiful icy blonde. She looked like an ice queen and all the students walking around were her servants. She looked cruel and scary.
I groaned not another girl wanting to know more about my money. I was seeing that it was going to be hard making friends here.
"Please tell me you don't want to know how much money my father earns a week, and I'll just answer the question you are dying to know my mother is close friends with Bill Gates" I sighed.
She laughed "well that's nice to know but no offence I really don't care"
"Well that's a pleasant surprise, finally some I can have a descent conversation with"
"Oh I see you have met Jessica and the other pot heads" we both laughed at the nickname for the student body.
"Yes Jessica is very annoying" she agreed with me.
The blonde started to walk away from me and through the crowd of students.
"Hey ice queen I didn't catch your name" I shouted at her.
She laughed a slivery laugh "Rosalie Hale"
I could see that this was the start of a beautiful friendship; there was something about Rosalie that made her different. She had a lot of spunk and she didn't care about my parents. She was the kind of person I needed around me.
I made my way too my art class feeling a lot more better about this school. It seemed to have a lot to offer.
Art was my favourite subject; I loved drawing how I felt in the moment. For me abstract was the best way to capture the feeling of the moment. My painting had swirls of yellow and orange with hints of red. I finished before everyone else in the class. The teacher came over and peered at my painting.
"Very interesting Bella, I can see you a new light in your picture. It's wonderful" he smiled at me.
"Thank you" I smiled proudly at my picture.
"Have a great lunch Isabella" he called when I grabbed my rucksack from the floor.
I followed the queue of busy teens heading for the lunch hall. I lined up and picked up a cheese sandwich, jelly and apple juice. I paid and looked across the lunch hall for somewhere to sit. I was deciding weather I should sit by myself or join the table of my admires.
"Don't even go there come sit with my lot" Rosalie tapped my shoulder and waited for me to follow her. I thanked her; right now she was my hero.
She led me to a table of rowdy good looking teens, three boys and one pixie girl. They were spinning a bottle on the table and throwing food at each other.
"Hey guys I bring new meat" Rosalie joked.
"Ah you bear the famous Isabella Swan" the very muscular boy said.
"Don't tease her Emmett" Rose said taking a seat on his lap and kissing his neck.
"Oh I think I will tease you instead" he said lustful.
"Oh please get a room and don't scare the girl away, hi I am Alice Cullen" the pixie nodded at me. She had short black hair and small features, which made her look fairy like. He skin was pale white and tone lighter than mine.
"Welcome Bella I am Jasper Hale" the southern accent was spilled all over me; he took my hand and kissed it.
"Bloody hell Jasper talk about being desperate you have a girlfriend and she is my sister Alice, you maybe my best friend but I will still kick your ass if you hurt her" he warned him.
"Leave him alone Em he is trying to be nice, and it doesn't worry me" Alice defended Jasper "plus if anyone is kicking his ass it is me"
"Don't mind them I am Edward Cullen" he leaned in and kissed my cheek. Heat rose to my face making me red. There was no denying that Edward was good looking. With the bronze hair and the stunning green eyes, the sharp detail in his face and feature. He shouldn't be human, he should be a dream. Not to mention the boy's uniform looked great on him. Edward should be modelling the uniform, because I would totally buy it.
"Well Bella has fallen for the charm that is Edward Cullen" Rosalie called at us.
I rolled my eyes and took a seat in between Alice and Edward.
"As you can all see that Bella is bad ass and doesn't wear the correct uniform" Rose pointed to me.
"What?" I asked confused.
"Converse isn't uniform bud, you can get into so much trouble" she explained.
I shrugged my shoulders "personal choice and I am not changing for nobody"
"Bella is a punk rocker" Emmett hollered.
"I try my hardest" I giggled.
"Bella can I have your timetable?" Alice asked.
"Sure" I dug into my rucksack and emerged with my timetable.
I sat and picked at my sandwich and joined in with some of the conversations, my blackberry went of in my blazer pocket I sighed when I saw the caller ID.
"Hey mum, how is work?" I asked. I didn't really care how work was, but I didn't want to be rude.
"Tiring anyway I called to say that I and your father won't be home till late"
"Alright" this wasn't a surprise to me.
I put the phone down without saying a goodbye.
"What a nice conversation with your mother" Edward said sarcastically.
"My parents are never home so we don't have a good relationship" I explained shrugging.
"That's sad" Alice rubbed my arm.
"That's awesome, so you have the house to yourself? Great so can we come over?" Rose asked. Everyone glared at her, I laughed.
"Sure do whatever I'll just call Margaret to make more food" I shrugged.
For my next class I had company Edward and Emmett were both in Biology with me. I smiled as the both of them walked me to class, everyone stared at us.
"Do you want to sit next to me?" Edward asked.
"Yeah" I smiled up at him.
"Bell you are leaving me" Emmett pouted. I tapped him lightly on the chest.
"You'll be fine without me"
I took a seat next to Edward at one of the science labs, Edward explained what I had missed. I wasn't much and most of it I covered at home with my books.
"So you're a pro at this already?" Edward asked me.
"Hardly I just I have a load of time, I practically live on my own" I said. I started to trace patterns into the work top; Edward grabbed my hand from the table.
"That's not right Bella" he sighed rubbing soothing circles into the back of my hand. "I don't want you to be lonely" he added.
"I am not lonely I have maids, cooks, gardeners and pool boys don't forget I have you lot coming to attack my house" I tapped his nose.
He flinched like a five year old and it was really cute, I giggled at him.
How do you like my first chapter, review and be honest.
