First Day

"Bella!" Emmett called. "Time to get up!"

"Ugh," I groaned.

Emmett opened up my bedroom door and took a step in.

"Get up, Sleepyhead!"

"Do I have to, Em?" I said as I threw the covers over my head.

"Yes," He grinned. "I got breakfast made downstairs, so hurry up!"

"What did you make this time?" I questioned. When I got here two days ago he made a horrid meal. It just about made me sick thinking about it.

"Don't worry, Bells. Its only Eggo's and orange juice." He laughed and I joined in.

"Okay, give me a minute and I'll be downstairs."

"Hustle! We have to leave in 15 minutes," Emmett said as he shut the door of my room.

I rushed to get ready as fast as I could with out tripping. Luckily, I showered the night before so I only had to get dressed and brush through my hair.

"Looking good, Bells!" Emmett smiled.

"M hm," I mumbled as I sat at the table. "Thanks for breakfast."

"Anything for my little sister," He replied. "I'm glad you came to stay with me."

"Of course. I'm glad too. Even though it has only been two days so far, its been really great to get to know each other again. Its just to bad it happened this way." I let out a sob.

Two months ago our parents died in a car crash in Phoenix. Charlie was visiting me for one of his yearly visits. Renee picked him up at the airport and they were on their way to come get me from school when it happened. I was devastated, but I was also so glad that Emmett wasn't with them. He was at a summer football training camp. We both were totally shocked.

Emmett's arms engulfed me in a hug. "Don't worry, little sis. Everything is going to be fine as long as we stick together. You got that?"

"Yes," I whispered.

"Okay. Now no crying on the first day of school," He smiled.

"Okay. I'm going to go brush my teeth. We should get going soon. We're going to be late," I said.

"You go do that. I'll be waiting in the jeep."

I ran upstairs to the bathroom and brushed my teeth thoroughly, I and took my time walking down the stairs. I did not want to get injured today. I closed and locked the door as I took off walking as fast as I could towards Emmett's jeep.

"Hurry up, Slowpoke!" Emmett smiled, showing off his dimples.

"Yeah, yeah." I said as I climbed in. "Hm, I like this song."

Everybody... P-H-A-M-O-U-S (everybody)

P-H-A-M-O-U-S (everybody)

P-H-A-M-O-U-S (that's right)

Phamous, I love being phamous... I...

"You do?" His light brown eyes going wide in amusement. "Never would have thought you would like this kind of music."

I laughed and started rapping the next part,

"We in the pleasure pit

Black jacks with a stack of chips

Cherries on slots, hitting jackpots

Sipping martinis with a lemon twist

Yup, course now, we taking flicks

Can't blame us for acting rich, and phamous, that's right P-h- VEGAS

Don't be mad you hate us, it's all good

That's what the fast life's is all about

Money in the air, scream and shout

Bass, look what you been missing out on."

Emmett looked at me in amazement, and I blushed at what I had just done.

"A little rough, but that was awesome, Little Sis!" He said grinning.

"Whatever," I said with a smile.

"So, how about you sit with my friends and I at lunch," Emmett said, as he pulled in to the school parking lot.

"Sure... But what if they don't like me?"

"Don't worry, Bells. They'll love you, or they'll learn to love you," He chuckled.

"Okay. Well, I'll see you then. I got to get to class."

"Me too. Don't trip!" He called, as I ran off to my first class.

The first classes of the day were horrible. The teachers let us go free and talk. A shy girl named Angela was nice enough to invite me to sit with her and her friends at lunch, and she even tried including me in conversations, but I failed miserably to keep up.

"So, you just moved here a few days ago? From Phoenix, right? I haven't seen you around," Said Jessica, a girl who Angela introduced me to.

"Yeah, I moved in with my brother Emmett," I said.

"Is that who you're going to be sitting with at lunch?"

"Yeah. He wants me to meet his friends or something." Her eyes widened. "What? Is there something wrong with them?"

She shook her head. "No! But they're like the hottest guys in school."

Mike Newton joined in. "And Jessica has had a crush on your brother since when? Forever?" He laughed.

Jessica shot him a dirty look and shoved him a little. "Shut up, Mike!"

The bell rang for lunch and I headed out of the classroom.

"Sorry about Jessica," Angela said. "She's very..."

"It's fine," I laughed. I walked through the doors of the cafeteria. Angela went with me to get our lunch.

"Good luck!" She said.

"Thanks. I'll see you later," I smiled.

I looked around the room nervously, slightly regretting agreeing to sit with Emmett and his friends. I heard a booming voice call my name. No doubt it was Emmett. Yes, just what I needed the whole population of the school looking at me. I felt my face heat up. I was sure that it was a crimson colour by now. I looked and turned toward his table and saw him waving his hands in the air like a total idiot with a huge grin placed upon his face showing his childlike dimples. Who could resist a face like that even if he was an embarrassing brother?

I walked over with my head down hoping no one caught me almost losing my balance.

I approached the table. "Hey," I said, giving a small smile.

"Don't just stand there, have a seat!" Said a small girl. She had dark spiky hair and was really well dressed. I looked around the table, all of them were well dressed.

"I'm Alice Cullen," Said the pixie.

"Nice to meet you, Alice." I said as I took a seat in between my brother and a blonde haired boy.

"Hey, little sis! How was your day so far?" Emmett said, as he messed up my hair.

"Em!" I replied embarrassed. "It was fine, I guess."

"Don't be rude, Emmett. Introduce the rest of us!" Alice said, reaching over the table to swat my brother.

"Okay! Lets start with Edward" He laughed as he pointed to a bronze haired boy. "Bella, Edward Cullen. Edward, my baby sister."

"Cullen?" I said. Alice and him must be related.

"Edward and Alice are brother and sister. A year apart though," Emmett confirmed.

"Bella." Edward nodded giving a perfect crooked smile. His eyes were a bright emerald green colour making him look even more handsome.

"Right! And Alice already introduced herself. So, um, that's Jasper Whitlock."

I looked at the boy I was sitting beside. He was looking at me, smiling. I immediately returned the smile. He had wild, curly, honey blonde hair. He was wearing a blue button button-down shirt that brought out his bright blue eyes that I just couldn't look away from.

"Ah-hem!" Emmett interrupted obnoxiously.

I blushed and quickly looked away from Jasper's eyes.

"My baby sister, remember." Emmett said sternly. "Anyway, I saved the best for the last. My lovely Rosalie Hale, Jasper's twin."

I was immediately self-conscious. Rosalie was beautiful, like a model. Tall and statuesque with flowing blonde hair. She had a smile that made her eyes twinkle.

"Hello, Bella!" She said.

"Nice to finally meet you Rosalie. Em, has been talking about you non-stop," I smiled.

"I hope its all been good things," she said, as she eyed my brother then smiled.

"All good things. I promise," I laughed.

"You can call me Rose by the way. Its nice to finally meet you too. We've all heard a lot about you," Rose said with a smile.

"So what are your next classes?" Asked Alice.

"Biology and gym," I frowned at the word 'gym'. It should be illegal for me to participate in any sport at all. I'm horribly clumsy.

"Oh, then you and Edward both have the next class together!" She said excitedly. I could tell I was going to like her. "Rose, Jasper, and I both have gym with you too."

"It would be nice knowing at least a couple people in a few of my classes," I said. "What grade are you guys in?"

"Rose and Jasper are seniors and Edward and I are juniors."

Em laughed. "Yeah, cause Pixie failed last year!"

"Hey, shopping's important too!" Alice pouted.

"Not when you fail all your classes," He replied.

"Who cares? At least I get more time to spend with my baby brother," She said, hugging Edward.

We all laughed and they moved on to another topic.

I looked around the cafeteria again and saw that people were staring. Jasper must have noticed because he gave me a considerate smile. I blushed and looked down to my lap.

"Don't like the attention much do, ya'?" Asked Jasper.

I could have melted right there. He had a deep voice and a slight southern accent. My thoughts started wondering just as a voice in my head yelled 'Get it together, Bella!'.

"No, not really," I replied in a voice just above a whisper and gave a nervous laugh.

"Me either," He smiled.

"So are you from around here?" I questioned.

"You noticed the accent, did you?" He questioned back with a grin. I nodded. "Rose and I moved here with our parents about three years ago. We're originally from Houston, Texas. Big change with the rain and all." He laughed.

The bell rang for our next classes. Edward led me to the biology room, where he asked our teacher if we could share the same table. I gave him a questioning look, but he dismissed it with a crooked grin. Turns out, we were already assigned to share a table anyway.

"How are you liking Forks?" Edward asked, after our teacher gave us permission to chat for the last ten minutes of class.

"Its fine. Nothing compared to Phoenix though," I smiled.

He laughed, "Yeah, I bet. Not liking the rain are you?"

"Not very much," I admitted.

"You'll get use to it soon, trust me. Jazz and Rose did."

"So, you lived here all your life?" I asked.

"Yes. My dad works at the hospital here in town and my mother does interior designing around the area."

"Wow," I said speechless. "That's... impressive."

The rest of class went by fairly quickly talking to Edward. To fast. Gym was next, and I was reluctant to go.

"Aren't you excited?" Alice said as she grabbed my hand after we changed into our Phys Ed. Clothing.

"Sorry to burst your bubble Alice, but not really." I admitted.

Her face dropped. "Are you kidding me?"

"Hey Bella!" Mike interrupted. "We're going to be playing basketball today. It's a tradition."

" Oh, great." I mumbled.

"Okay, people. Welcome back. Today, you guys should all know that we are going to be playing basketball. Whitlock, Newton you guys are captains," Coach Clapp announced.

I frowned and Alice noticed. "Whats wrong?" she asked.

"Alice, I can't play. I suck."

"Don't worry, Bella. I'll make sure you're on Jasper's team. He'll make sure no one passes to you," Alice comforted.

I gave her a small smile. "Thanks."

"No problem," she said, and then ran off and whispered something to Jasper. He smiled and nodded.

"Whitlock, you get first pick," said Coach Clapp.

"Okay. I pick Bella," Jasper announced. I walked over to where he stood. He leaned down and whispered in my ear; his breath making the hair on my neck stand. "Don't worry I won't let anyone pass you the ball."

"Um, thank you. Really."

"Don't worry about it," he smiled.

Shortly after we had a full team, and we started playing. Jasper instructed me to stay on the wing when we were on offence and pick up some one when we were on defence. I got the ball away from someone twice, and I was proud of myself. I only managed to trip once while playing. We had won by two baskets.

When class was over I walked to Emmett's jeep with Jasper, Alice, and Rose. Edward was leaning the jeep talking to Em. When Emmett noticed us approaching he spun around and took three giant steps towards us and swept me up in a huge bear hug.

"Em. Can't. Breath." I managed to get out.

"Oops! Sorry, squirt" he laughed, and he set me back on to my feet.

"It's fine," I replied, giggling.

"How was gym?" Emmett asked.

"Alright. We played basketball."

"Did you win?"

"Yes," I laughed

Emmett was now enthralled. "You won! Seriously? Who was on your team?"

"That would be me, Rose, and Alice," Jasper said, answering for me.

Em laughed. "I wish I could have been there to see that. Well, I think I'll just take Bells home and chill with her for a bit. See you guys later!"

We were backing out of the parking space when I said, "You know, you really don't have to hang out with me, Emmett. Just because I'm living with you now doesn't mean you have to ditch your friends."

"I know I don't have to hang out with you, Bells, but I want to."

So, how's that for a better chapter? I'm using OpenOffice now, and I'm liking it.

Review please!

Xoxo, Evey.
