I came up with this idea for a story when I was working today. (and bored out of my mind) Hope you like it.

(song is: never alone by barlow girl

Title of the school comes from the movie White oleander)

I don't own anything, except the books!

Bella's pov

I was so tired. Going all the way to California by plain and bus wasn't very amusing. I got of the bus, not saying anything to the driver, and clicked for the next song on my Ipod. I listened to the lyrics as I was trying to figure out how to walk. My backpack full and heavy was starting to hurt my back.

I cried out with no reply and I can't feel you by my side so,

I'll hold tight to what I know, you're here and i'm never alone.

I lipsynced without making sound. I crossed another road and looked at the big building before me. It had huge walls and windows and a big lawn. A couple of trees profited for shadow on the big field that was surrounded by enormous walls and a huge gate. I walked to the gate and followed the pad that said "Main desk".

A old woman, named Rosie, sat at the desk.

"Can I help you, miss?" she said with an angelic voice.

"Yes, I'm Bella Swan. I should be on a list or something" I said while I put my bag down.

"Allright, let's see......yes Isabella Swan. Here is your key to your room. It's on the third floor and then to the right. This is your scedule for the week. Announcement can be found on the bulliten board. If you have any questions you should go to your guidance counselor. Your roommate Alice will be helping you through the first week. She's home at about 8 o'clock. Good luck miss!"

I only had listened to half what she said.

As I walked towards my room I thought about my life and how I got here. Nobody has to know that. It's bad enough that i'm here. Thank god it was sunday, so I could relaxed and look around today. I hoped that this Alice girl was nice.

I opened the door of room 322 and screened it immediatly. It was rather big for two persons. Two beds, a couch, two closets and two desks. I put my bag down on the bed that was still empty and layed down.

After laying down for a few minutes, i decided to unpack and look around.

I walked of the stairs quietly. I hadden't realised how big this place was. From the outside it looked smaller than it was on the inside, and the outside was allready huge! It wasn't really crowded, as it was sunday and i think that a lot of students were home at the weekends. I would never do that. I walked past a few rooms that looked like classrooms. I heard a sound coming out of one room. Without making any myself i peeped through the door. A boy was sitting on the side of what supposed to be a stage. He looked down at a paper, wrote something down and hit the strings of his guitar. I was planning on walking away but being my clumsy self I tripped, landing down with a huge smack. I turned around to get up and saw a stretched hand. I took it and the boy helped me get up.

"Thanks" I said softly

"Your welcome, were you just listening at the door?" He asked, staring at me intensely

"Yeah" I said half smiling.

"Don't ever do that again!"he said angry and left. I quickly, part confused and part ashamed, went back to my room just to see a small girl, with spunky darkbrown hair looking at me.

"Hi I'm Alice Cullen" she said and shook my hand

"Bella" I only said back as i quickly shook of her hand.

"Well Bella, it's really great that you are my roommate. It felt kinda lonely being alone in this room. You're almost in all of my classes so I can lead the way. What do you think of this place?" she said so quick I almost couldn't understand what she was saying.

"I don't really know, just got here" I sat down on my bed.

"You're not the talkative girl are ya? Well, you will be. It's really lovely here, this place grows on ya. I'm staying here for 1 year now, but i've been here before that because my brother also goes to this school"

"Why are you here?" I asked, knowing that everyone here has a good reason to be here. This was no ordinary bording school. No, if you go here, you must have done something disturbing.

" I can't actually say that, all I can say that it involves my brother" she said and turned her back at me. I was being nosey.

"Why are you here?" she asked back

"I ... i.... can't ...won't uhm. It's complicated."

"Okay" she just answered and we talked about other stuff the entire night. What music we like, books, tv shows, movies, sport, her boyfriend. I didn't want the night to end because tomorrow was monday.
