I should probably explain before hand that I have no idea where this is supposed to fit in the books. It is best if you imagine that Ariana has been carted off to jail but Noelle, Kiran and Taylor are still living in Billings and the new girls have moved in, minus Sabine. I'm just trying to avoid unnecessary complications! Please leave a review! I would love to know what people think of my first attempt at a fan fiction!

Esme

"What the hell?" blurted Noelle Lange. Cheyenne Martin raised her eyebrows in disbelief and flicked her perfect blonde hair over her shoulder. Vienna Clarke and London Simmons were mirror images of each other, slumped on the sofa, mouths wide open, eyes as round as saucers.

"Come again?" said Taylor Bell, her blue eyes blinking rapidly.

I ran a finger through my caramel curls and sighed irritably.

"I'm the new house mother of Billings," I repeated. The girls all exchanged looks. Kiran Hayes tried hard to wipe the growing smirk off her face. I understood why. With my pale, heart-shaped face and kind smile they were probably all thinking that I would be a push-over. I didn't need Edward to tell me that.

"Anyway," I said with a bright smile, "I am Esme. Esme Cullen. I'm the wife of the new campus doctor. I was asked by Headmaster Cromwell to be the new housemother."

"The Crom would never do that," said Rose Sakowitz, pursing her lips together as she tried to work it out. I felt Portia Ahronian slide her eyes over my clothes and I silently said a prayer, thanking that I had Alice and Rosalie as daughters. It had become clear since we first stepped on the campus that if we didn't know about fashion we would be outlawed.

There was one girl in the group who clearly wasn't like the others. I had read through the files I had been given about the girls and I recognised this girl to be Reed Brennan. She had the glam clothes that everyone had but she didn't have the poised airs and graces that the others possessed. She reminded me of Bella. She had an air of difference about her yet she was perfectly at home between Noelle and Kiran.

Outside I heard a wolf whistle and Emmett said "Nice digs girlies!" as Alice laughed her cute "peal of bells" laugh. I smiled brightly at the girls in front of me as I heard the front door open. Alice bounced into the room and threw her arms around me before noticing the massed divas sitting on the sofas. I imagined the cogs in her head start to turn as she quickly took in the clothes, jewellery and makeup they were wearing.

Rosalie strode into the room, presumably having just had a steamy goodbye kiss with Emmett. The girls all looked taken aback except for Kiran who raised an eyebrow. Last was Bella, treading carefully behind Rosalie. Her eyes met Reed's and she smiled.

"Omigollygosh!" squealed Alice running around the room. "Are we really gonna live in this yummy building?"

"WHAT!" yelled Noelle, Cheyenne and an unpleasant looking girl called Missy Thurber. I glared at Alice.

"These are my daughters, ladies. They will be living in Billings with me. Let me introduce Alice, Rosalie and Bella."

Rosalie smirked and ran a hand through her hair, then pushed her Dior sunglasses up her forehead. Alice smiled widely at the girls, making them all shrink away from her like she was a rapid hyena. Bella just stared wistfully out of the window. I looked out too and saw my sons fooling around outside.

"Uh, Esme?" said Cheyenne. "Not that you and your, eh, family are welcome at Billings but....." She stopped momentarily as Rosalie stared at her with arched eyebrows. "This is an elite dorm. Residents are chosen to stay here through a rigorous screening system. We only take the best Easton has to offer," she finished smugly.

Alice stopped admiring the curtains and turned towards her, mouth agape. Bella tore her eyes away from the scene outside and looked at her. Rosalie was fuming.

"Are you suggesting we are just trash, you bitch?" she spat.

"Of course not," said Cheyenne smoothly, "I was just thinking you might not-"

"Fit in?" Alice finished icily. Cheyenne bit her lip. Outside Emmett was rolling around on the grass howling with laughter while Jasper and Edward were both doubled over clutching their sides. Clearly Edward was listening in.

Noelle stood up. She was a tall young lady, only a few inches off Emmett's great height.

"I think it best if the housemates go have a small discussion in my room. There are a lot of problems that a few of us have," here she glared at Cheyenne, "and as the President of Billings I should listen to what they have to say then report back to you."

Before I could speak they all jumped up and practically sprinted from the room. Bella spoke for the first time.

"Nice welcoming committee!" she snorted.

"Bitches," muttered Rosalie. She sat on the sofa and picked up a Vogue that one of the Twin Cities had left behind. I sighed. That was probably the worst start we had ever made in a new place.
