AU: Yea, I felt like writing a new story down.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Twilight or Vampire Knight sobs in a corner
High schooler Bella Swan doesn't know what awaits her as she attends a new elite school called Forks AcademyCurious as to why the school has a Day Class and a Night Class, she soon realizes that there is something "special" about the Night Class. Loosely based on the manga/anime Vampire Knight
"Did you get there safe, honey?"
"Yes, mom," Bella sighed, reassuring her mother for what seemed like the tenth time.
"Remember to call me or email me as soon as possible, okay," her mother reminded her…again.
"…yes mom."
"Call your dad too."
Bella sighed inwardly, slinging her bag over her shoulder. "I will mom," she replied. "Don't worry so much."
Bella heard her mother's soft laughter over the phone. "Okay. I love you."
"I love you too. I'll be fine, "Bella added before turning off her cellphone. "Yup, I'll be just… fine," she muttered. The nervousness that she had been trying to repress just seemed to bubble out now.
Bella was standing on the edge of a forest trying to see if she could see her new school from there. Realizing all she was seeing were trees, she took out a map and tried to memorize it. Stuffing it back in her bag, she tightened her grip on her bags- praying that she wouldn't trip on them- and sucked in a huge breath.
I can totally do this, Bella kept on mentally saying to herself. Finally exhaling, Bella started to walk towards her new dorm and school.
Arriving at the dorm, she looked at it amazed. No dorm she ever saw- at least not where she lived- ever looked like this. It looked to be a century year old building. It was painted a faded golden hue with clear arched windows. Housing only 200-something students, it was square-like and five storied.
Bella noticed with a small sigh of relief that the area wasn't filled with trees. Instead the lawn was covered with beautiful flowers with only a few evergreens to provide some shade.
"Are you Isabella Swan?"
Snapped out her thoughts, Bella turned to see a girl around her age looking at her curiously.
Smiling timidly, Bella nodded, "You can call me Bella."
The brown- haired brown- eyed girl smiled at her brightly. "My name's Yuki Cross. I'm here to teach you about the dorm and the school." Taking one of Bella's bags, Yuki led her inside while telling her more about Cross Academy.
"Are you related to the one who built this school, Yuki?" Bella asked noticing the similarity in the names.
"Yup, I'm the chairman's daughter," Yuki answered.
Yuki continued talking more about the school. Bella tried to memorize everything Yuki was telling her. The rules, the classes, the teachers…
One thing Yuki mentioned made Bella very curious though. Apparently, there was a Night Class and students in those classes lived in another dorm. When Bella asked Yuki about it, she just gave a vague answer which sparked Bella's curiosity even more. She was about to ask more questions but they were about to enter the dorm.
Stiffening, a barrage of thoughts thundered in Bella's head. What if she couldn't fit in? What if she couldn't handle the schoolwork? Her breath quickened, imagining them taking away her scholarship because she failed. Also, what if she couldn't make any friends?
That, Bella hated to admit, was a slight possibility. She was never one to easily relate to people…actually, she was never one to relate to people, period. Even with her mother, who she was the closest to, she felt as if she never really got her.
Sighing, Bella sadly shook her head trying to clear her thoughts. It wouldn't do any good to think such depressing thoughts, she didn't notice Yuki glance at her.
"You don't have to look so worried you know," Yuki said, laughing softly.
"I didn't know that I was that obvious," Bella said embarrassed.
Yuki laughed again, "You look as if you're going to a funeral… YOUR funeral."
Yuki made an exaggerated face of distress.
Bella laughed, her worried receding. It seemed, at least, she was getting along well with Yuki.
"But no, seriously. People here are decent," Yuki added patting bella on the back. "I'm sure you'll fit in fine."
Smiling slightly, Bella nodded, opening the dorm room. Wow…the inside of the building was just as magnificent as the outside. This…is gonna take some getting used to…
"Okay, girls' rooms are in the left and the guys' is on the right," Yuki said pointing.
"Hey, are you Isabella Swan?"
Bella and Yuki looked to see a girl coming out of the common room. She was shorter than Bella's 5'4 height and had really curly hair.
"Hey Yuki!"
"Jessica."
"I'm Bella," she said.
Yuki looked at her watch, wincing. "Well, I gotta go, Bella. Jessica here show'll you what room you're in."
"Your room is near mine," Jessica added.
"Yea, " Yuki walked to the door, "if you need anything, I'm here."
"Thanks Yuki," Bella said waving good-bye.
"Let me introduce you to some people before I show you your room!" Jessica exclaimed, grabbing one of Bella's bags.
Bella followed Jessica to the common room, smiling and nodding as she rambled on about teachers and classes. They walked over to where her friends were. Bella tried to remember the faces, but was hopeless when it came to their names.
She spent the next few minutes having a somewhat awkward conversation with five curious strangers.
Bella convinced Jessica that maybe it was already time to go.
"Okay, guys. We'll see you later."
Jessica continued to prattle on about unimportant things as they went upstairs. Bella thought Jessica seemed nice enough but she liked gossiping.
"You know Yuki's the daughter of Chairman Cross, right?" Jessica asked casting a look at Bella.
"Yea, she told me," Bella replied. "It must be nice having a parent close to you."
"Wee," Jessica started, glancing behind her and lowering her voice. "I heard Yuki was adopted before Zero."
"Zero?"
"I heard he was adopted by the Chairman four years ago," Jessica answered.
"Well, if that's true, then I guess it's pretty kind of the chairman to take them in," Bella stated, looking at the painting adorning the wall.
"Hmm…I guess," Jessica said, glancing down.
Bella was glad the conversation had ended. She had only met Yuki for a couple of minutes but she got along with her. If Yuki was adopted, it was her business and nobody else's.
She felt slightly uncomfortable as a pregnant pause ensued. A couple of awkward moments later, Bella was glad when she got to her room. Since the school was so elite, everybody was able to have their own room, a fact that Bella was glad about since she liked her privacy.
After setting down her bags, Bella walked over to the windows and opened it. The view was pretty enough.
"So school starts tomorrow," Jessica informed her, leaning against the door.
"Okay, I'll just set up my stuff today then."
"Hey Jess!"
Bella noticed Jessica look across the hallway and turn a light pink. Walking towards the door, she saw a boy walking towards them.
"You're Isabella right?" he asked giving a friendly smile. The boy was kind of cute with his pale blond hair gelled in orderly spikes.
Nodding, Bella gave him a smile. "I'm Bella."
"My name's Mike," he added smiling brightly. Leaning in to look at her room, he asked, "Do you need any help?"
Before getting the chance to politely refuse, Jessica interrupted her.
"She doesn't need your help," she said, her voice clipped. Bella wasn't sure if it was just in her imagination, but she could have sworn Jessica gave her a glare.
"But-"
"Let's go Mike. Give her some space to adjust," she insisted, tugging Mike's arm.
"Are you sure, Bella?"
Seeing the look on Jessica's face, Bella just nodded. "I'll be fine."
"Oh, ok." Bella almost smiled at the look of disappointment on Mike's face. She waved good bye to Mike and Jessica before going to her room and laying down on her bed. Closing her eyes, she thought that maybe the year wasn't going to be as bad as she had imagined.
Sitting up, she decided to unpack her stuff. After all this was going to be her room for the next two years. Might as well make it feel like home….
So how was it? Good, bad, random?
Tell me what you think! :)
