Okay, I can do this, being me – Isabella Marie Swan is going to be hard! Seriously why did I choose this school again? Oh yea – I remember, my parents were on the verge of being divorced and I wanted to give them space. Here it goes . . .
As I walked to the reception desk with my stuff, I remembered what I was giving up coming from Forks (my home town) – well I guess people will now know where I live, 'Sunny L.A'. For starters I would loose all my friends; Jake, Embry, Quil and Kim, who were in an awesome band with me and … I guess my parents.
"Hi I'm Isabella Swan - from Forks." I whispered to the women at the desk,
"Oh, yes, here is your timetable, your dorm key and a map of the school".
The woman was very pretty for her age, with reddish/brown hair which was cut into a short messy bob. She had a stylish pair of glasses and clearly spent a lot of time on her make up
"Thanks", I tried to smile as sweetly as possible for me, at her.
"Mr. Swan?" She asked, wanting something from my dad, who was silently next to me. I was trying to avoid a conversation because it would end up to either why did I need to move? Or who would I rather live with, mum or dad? Being an only child, it was impossible for me to choose.
"Yes" he replied, looking kinda sleepy from the flight.
"Can you sign these papers for me? She questioned him, and then she started to fix her messy hair.
"Sure" My dad took the papers without any queries and filled them out.
"Here you go miss" my dad always tried to show me how important manners were – typical parents.
"Good luck" she said. I was really going to need that.
"I guess it's my cue to leave" my dad started.
"Are you sure you'll be alright" he asked looking worried …
"I'll be fine dad, and if I ever need you or anything I can always hop on a plane back home" I tried to reassure him and thankfully it worked, he smiled and said
"Well you need to call us at least once a month and e-mail us once a week"
"I'll try to keep up with the order sir" I joked.
"I'll miss you, now give us a hug kiddo" he was getting serious now. So I gave him one big hug.
"I'll miss you too, and mom, good thing she was busy with work or she would of cried her eyes out" I smiled, thinking of all the great times we had as a family – Christmas, summer holidays … but now we're broken, sad isn't it?
"I'll see you soon, but I have to go or I'll miss my flight" he said while he let go of me and checked his watch.
"Okay, say hi to everyone for me" I said, trying not to get depressed (which was hard).
"Will do, now be good kid, see you" he was sad, It was hard to be happy seeing his face.
"Have I ever gotten any complaints?" I tried to lighten the mood.
"Bye dad" he smiled at me one last time and walked back out. If that was my mom, we would be here for another entire day.
Now it was my time to leave the building, the school was big, I guess it made sense, it was known for its large variety of kids. That's how probably I got in. I made my way to the dorms. It reminded me of an apartment block. I saw a few kids – they looked rich, well at least most of them. A couple of kids gave me a 'ha - ha new kid' look or they would smile or ignore me.
Luckily there was only one guy in the elevator, I nearly tripped getting , but thankfully my suitcase weighed me down. The guy had honey blonde hair, with light blue eyes, he looked around 6'3 – I felt short at 5'4. I pressed my floor number which was 6, out 12 levels; half of them were for guys – WOW – BIG!! He pressed his floor, 8.
He looked a my state and asked
"You new" he had this cool, calm voice.
"Yeah" I smiled at my stuff.
"I'm Jasper a senior, it won't be hard settling in, trust me" he was trying to make me feel better, it kinda did.
"Cool, I'm Bella or Isabella when I'm in trouble and I'm a junior" The bell for my floor rang.
"See you around, oh and good luck" he said while I took my stuff out of the elevator.
"Thanks, I'm really going to need it" I was laughing to myself what a big clumsy freak I was, I read the sign – ' Rooms 600 – 610' to the left and 'Rooms 611 – 625' to the right. I checked my key, I was room 620. Now I felt like I was in a hotel. After counting the rooms and tripping over my suitcases twice, I found mine.
The door was unlocked. Inside I found 2 beds a couch, a t.v – with all its gadgets, and a study table with a computer. On the couch I there was this amazingly beautiful blonde girl. Wow – she was gorgeous, I was a pretty average looking person, brown hair and brown eyes, but being in the same room as her I felt hideous!
She looked up and smiled, she came towards me trying to help me with my stuff.
"Hi, I'm Rosalie, let me help you" she had a very sweet voice, which went well with her body; I was starting to feel very de-graded. I blushed – which I do at least several times a day.
"Hey, I'm Isabella, but please call me Bella, and thank you so much" God those suitcase were starting to get heavy although I packed light. She put them on bed which looked like it was going to be mine.
"I've been waiting for you, I really wanted a roommate" she looked kinda embarrassed.
"I hope I'm not a let down, I'm really quite boring" which was true. She smiled at my modesty.
"I'm sure your pretty interesting" I was glad I was going to have a friend.
"Here let me help you unpack" she was sincere.
"Are you sure you have nothing better to do on a weekend like this?" I asked looking out the window, it was sunny, and something you never see in Forks.
"No, I'm good, my boyfriend is busy and my friend has got homework" I opened my mouth to protest but she stopped me before the words could come out
"Anyway it took me ages to unpack and settle into my room, your gonna need the help" she smiled.
"You don't know how grateful I am" I laughed
So by a hour we got to know a great deal about each other, like she was a junior like me and the guy in the elevator – Japer was her older brother. I was like wow the Hales are nice. She told me about her best friend Alice, and how she was dating her older brother, Emmett and the next thing we know we hear a knock on the door.
"Speak of the devil and he appears" Rosalie muttered.
"Hi Alice, I want you to meet my new roommate, Bella." Alice walked towards me smirking at Rosalie.
"Hi Bella, I'm Alice Cullen, you don't know how she was excited to meet you – even I was excited when she told me you were coming today" She chuckled, as Rosalie scowled at her.
"Hi, it's cool to meet you" I smiled back at her friendly face. Alice was a short pixie type girl. Her hair was cut short around her ears and was spiked everywhere. She was extremely energetic – I was getting tired watching her.
So by another hour I go to known them as if they were my best friends and I've known them for years. Alice also helped us unpack, so we finished unpacking sooner than I thought we would. I saw Alice eyeing something – she had a confused expression. I broke the silence.
"Alice is there anything wrong?" You could hear the curiosity in my voice. She smiled.
"I was just thinking, Rose and me totally need to buy you a new wardrobe" Rose laughed.
"But why?" I thought I had enough clothes and they were decent enough.
"Alice is a shopping addict, and she has every type of outfit you could imagine!" Rosalie sighed. I didn't mind shopping to point – as long as I got what I needed and wanted, I didn't mind it. Alice questioned me this time.
"Do you play music?" I saw she was staring at my guitar, I blushed. I wasn't sure if I wanted to tell them I was in a band.
"I guess I can – I'm teaching myself how to play the guitar" maybe that will keep her off the questions. I thought wrong
"My brother plays too" she said with a smile
"He could teach you, if you want" I quickly without thinking screamed
"Nooooooo!" Rosalie grinned, she knew I was lying.
"Come on Bella, we won't tell anybody – I swear" Rose nudged Alice, she nodded.
"Okay fine, I wasn't sure if I should tell you or not. Yes I do play music – 3 instruments; the guitar, piano and the violin – although I suck at the violin so I haven't played in a while." Alice looked like she was working a math problem out.
"And are you in a band?" Alice rushed out. I blushed scarlet this time.
"Yes" Alice looked disappointed. Rose hit Alice on the head.
"Alice, you better not tell ANYBODY or if you do Bella and me will kill you" she said looking annoyed. I felt relived knowing that she wanted to help but then again I felt like I was missing something.
"Don't worry I won't" she looked frustrated. Did she say her brother played guitar?
"So does Emmett play the guitar?' I asked, they both burst out into laughter and said
"NO". I was confused,
A couple of minutes later my stomach growled. I realized I was starving. I blushed. They both giggled.
"Come on Bella, lets show you where we get our food from" Alice said, pulling me off the bed.
"Can't argue with that" I took my wallet out of my bag, and I went outside to meet them.
"Maybe you can call Jasper and Emmett over, to meet us there" Rosalie told Alice, then she added,
"That's a good idea, now Bella can meet them" I blushed, they both chuckled at my response.
Alice called them, when we were in the elevator. I over heard her say,
"I love you too Jasper" she hung up. I was confused; I thought Jasper was Rosalie's brother. Then Rosalie bursted into laughter and she was looking at me, I Blushed. She said
"Don't worry Bella, Alice and Jasper are dating" This time it was Alice's turn to be embarrassed. I punched on her arm.
"Oww" she cried. I was pretending to be furious
"Why didn't you tell me" I ended up giggling at her.
"I guess it flew out of my mind" she tried to defend herself with. I snorted
"Sure"
They were taking me to the ground floor, where the courtyard was. It looked like we were in a shopping mall food court or something.
"Is this your food court" I asked, surprised. They both laughed
"Yuppers!" Alice said, she looked around, I was sure her smile became even bigger when she spotted Jasper and this tall muscular guy, with black curly hair – he must be Emmett. They came towards us. Alice introduced us.
"Hey Em, and Jasper, this is Bella, and Bella this is Emmett, my brother and Jasper, Rose's brother, as she told you" I smiled at then a little shy – ok maybe really shy.
"Hi" Emmett looked as if he were to burst into laughter any second now.
"So we meet again" Jasper said shaking my hand.
"It makes sense for you to be Rose's roommate" We all laughed.
"You don't know how many times I've been told that" I sighed.
"So hey I'm Emmett" Emmett joined in. I laughed
"I think that's kind of obvious" Everyone laughed at Emmett's stupidity.
We settled for pasta from this Italian place, it was delicious. Having dinner with the Cullens and Hales was awesome! Emmett was the older brother I've always wanted. He made so many jokes! Most of them were pretty lame but we still laughed (ok me only) still laughed. Jasper a pretty awesome dude too! He was calm and cool. It kinda helped me seeing him so calm – I wasn't that nervous for school – it always happens on the first day.
Alice was saying something about having an adopted cousin, brother Edward or something. I wasn't really paying attention. She was also saying that he was the one who played the guitar. I said
"O" Just to prove I was awake and paying attention.
Then I saw him.
