HARD AS A FEATHER, SOFT AS A STONE

CHAPTER 1: WAKE UP SUNSHINE

BPOV

Knock! Knock!

I was awakened by a faint knocking on my door. I looked at my clock and it read 7:00. I looked out at my window and saw the clear blue skies and sunlight peeking through the clouds. Feeling my soft bed beneath me and warm blankets drape over me gave me a sense of comfort and joy. This was home. My home.

Knock! Knock!

"Come in" Hearing the sleepiness in my voice, I spoke a little louder. "Come in!"

The double doors of my bedroom opened and the smell of chocolate chip pancakes, bacon and eggs wafted throughout my room. Greeting me was a warm smile from Julia, my personal maid.

She was like a mother to me. She was there to take care of me ever since I was born. And because my parents got divorced when I was still a child. She pretty much became my mother figure.

Seeing as my father, Charlie is not an on-hands dad, not that he has time for me anyway since he's always busy and hardly comes home from work. Charlie pretty much owns a quarter of New York. The C.S. Group runs hotels, a record company and a production line.

"Good morning Bumble bee!" Julia greeted me. Being the only privileged one to call me with her silly pet names.

"Good morning, mom" Smiling when I saw Julia beamed when I call her mom.

"I made you your favorite. Now get up and finish this or you'll be late for school" Julia spoke to me in a motherly voice.

"But I don't want to go to school. I just came back." I whined. Trying to get 5 more minutes of sleep.

"Bells, it's your first day back. Besides you got here a week ago. I think that's enough for you to get settled. And you haven't talked to Alice yet. I know she'll be surprised when she sees you."

"Ok. Fine. If not for the yummy pancakes I won't even dare try to get up from this bed." I pouted then headed towards the small table, overlooking the fantastic view of the city, where my breakfast was set up.

"That's why I made your favorite so you'll be forced to get up. Am I a genius or what?" Julia said in a sing-song voice.

"Humph" I grumbled while munching on my delicious breakfast. I love that woman to death but I swear if she doesn't know me all too well, I would've throw a pillow to anyone who would wake me up this early.

"You better hurry up. You know the traffic here hasn't changed. It would take you a good hour to reach your school." Julia said from my closet. Probably fixing my things and looking an outfit for me to wear.

I have enough of Alice, my best friend, taking control of the clothes I would and should wear but to have Julia doing the same thing too, that would be a complete nightmare.

"Julia, you do know that I can reach the school within 15 minutes and you better not Barbie Bella me. I swear Alice is rubbing off on you"

"Yeah you reach school without being late because of your crazy driving. I swear Isabella, if you get into an accident. I would throw away that junk you call a car. And I don't care how much that's worth. I don't fancy seeing you inside a coffin" Julia said while coming out of my closet. I finished my breakfast and had a quick shower.

"Anything in particular you want to wear?" Julia asked me when I got out of the bathroom. One thing that I love about my school is they don't require us to wear uniforms unlike other prep schools.

"I'm up for yellow!"

"Ok sunshine. Yellow it is."
