"Hi. How can I help you?" I said, My Dad is the chief of police and I am running the front desk when he's out patrolling.
"Hi Rosalie." The man in front of me said while reading my name tag "We bought a house around here an we are having some trouble finding it."
"OK. What s the address?" I said. It's common that new people can't find there houses around here. I think it has to do with all the forest.
"3981 Emerald Creek." The man said
"OH!" I yelled, startling him "YOU bought the glass house?" Every girl in town has told someone, at some point in her life, that she wanted to get married in that house. It was gorgeous. It looked like it had come out of a dream.
"Yes?" The man said, still a little freaked out at my out burst.
"Rose don t scream. You'll scare the new people away." My brother Jasper walked in behind me, it was about 7 in the morning now, I woke up at 5 because I couldn't sleep and decided to go to work with Dad.
"Shhhhh! I am talking with the man who bought the glass house!" I told him. I saw Bella walk in, rubbing her eyes. Bella was only 15 and me and Jasper where 17, we were twins. Bella always wanted to stay with me or Jasper, she was very clingy, I think its because are Mom left when she was born and moved to Arizona. We still talk to our Mom,but only about every other month, and we never visit.
"Hey Bell." I said. I feel bad for Bella. She has never really had a Mom, me and Jasper had a Mom for the first 2 years, and our mom got to know us, our Mom doesn't really like Bella, So I fell like I need to be the best big sister anyone could ever be to try and make up for Mom.
"Rose!" Bella said, she came and sat on the floor in front of me and rested her head in my lap.
"Oh, so Bella can interrupt the glass house buyer." Jasper said jokingly. He knew my feelings towards Bella, and felt the same way about her that I did.
"Yep, pretty much." I said. "So, you bought the glass house, It's really hard to find. My Dad can take you there when he takes us to school in a few minutes." I said, turning my attention back towards the man at the desk.
"OK. What grade are you guys in?" the man asked
"Me and Jasper" I said motioning in his directing "are juniors, and Bella is a freshman."
"Your the same ages as my children then." The man said
"Cool! What's your name?" I asked
"My name is Carlise Cullen. My kids are Alice,Emmett, and Edward. Alice is 15, Emmett and Edward are 17. My wife's name is Esme." Carlise explained.
"Cullen, OK. Our last name is Swan. My Dad's name is Charlie. Where do you and your wife work?" I asked, just in the interest of killing time.
"I work at the hospital. My wife doesn t work. I assume your parents work here?" Carlise asked, It always amazed me the level of interest adults have in where people's parents work.
"My Dad does, he's the chief. My Mom doesn't live here though." I answered, Jasper sat down on the arm of my chair.
"Where does she live?" Carlise asked
"Arizona." I answered.
"What does she do?" I looked at the clock, it was 7:12. My dad usually gets back from patroll at 7:15.
"It changes a lot, right now she's an artist." I said, straining to remeber what her latest 'carrer' was.
"Well that s interesting." Carlise said "Do you visit her often?"
"No." I said, then Dad walked in
"Hey kids!" My dad said as he was walking in the door "ready for school?"
"Daddy!" Bella yelled and jumped up to go hug our dad, My Dad hugged her back.
He notest Carlise standing at the desk "Hi. How can I help you?" He said, mimicking my actions from earlier.
"Me and my family just bought a house and we having some trouble finding it, so your...daughter" He said daughter like a question. I just nodded "daughter told me you would show us the way, if it not to much trouble." Carlise explained
"Of course not. I'll just have to drop the kids off at school first." My dad said
"Of course, my kids need to be dropped off too." Carlise said
"OK well I'll show you where the school is too." My Dad said. Me and Jasper picked up our backpacks, Jasper got Bella's for her, and we all walked to the parking lot.
"Just follow us." My Dad told Carlise. Jasper got in the front seat with Dad and I got in the back with Bella.
We both pulled out of the parking lot and started down the road toward the school. The school was only about a mile down the road. On nice-ish days, since Forks doesn't really have nice days, we would normally walk to school, but since the Cullens had to be shown the way we decided to ride with Dad.
We got there in about 2 minutes and everyone got out of there cars.
"Hello." My dad said to the women how got out of the car with Carlise, Esme I guess.
"Hi." She said, I think she was worried about her kids first day at school.
"Me and Jasper can show Edward and Emmett around, and Bella can show Alice around if you want. We are in the same grades as your kids." I explained again, Carlise looked surprised I remembered his kids names and ages. Being a cops child you learn to remember every detail.
"That would be great." Carlise said, Both him and Esme looked relieved, I was happy to show them around, have someone you know on the first day makes all the difference.
"Alice is in our car, she's waiting for Edward and Emmett, there in that car over there. Esme said pointing to a Volvo a few spots down. That's Edward's car. He drove down himself with Emmett. Alice is kind of...clingy to her brothers. She won't get out of the car till there here."
"Bella's the same way to Jasper and Rosalie." Dad said "I think they'll get along just fine."
"Hey," Said the smaller boy, they where walking up to us now. As soon as they stopped Alice jumped out of the car and run to the smaller boy.
"Who's this?" Said the bigger one.
"I'm Rosalie, and this is Jasper" I said pointing to him "We are going to show you two around today," I said pointing to the two boys ",and this is Bella," I said pointing to her "and she is going to show Alice around today, and this is my Dad Charlie," I said pointing to him ",and he is going to take your parents to your house after we go into school." I explained.
"Sounds good" Both of the boys said, The smaller one was still holding Alice.
"So which one of you is Edward and which one is Emmett?" I asked
"I'm Edward" the smaller boy said, he pointed to the bigger one "and that's Emmett."
"OK" I said "Ready to go in?"
"Sure" both boys said
"Bye." Alice said and ran to hug her parents
"We'll be here when you get out." Carlise told her
"Bye boys" Esme said, the boys just waved there hands behind there heads, they where to busy talking to Jasper to really care.
"Well that was heart-felt." Esme said laughing
"Bye Dad." I said, Bella hugged him "Coming Alice?" said more sweetly, she just nodded.
"She'll warm up to you" Carlise said
"Just wait, you won't be able to shut her up once she get comfortable with you." Emmett said, Alice made a face and went back to Edward.
"Hum...Sounds like someone else we know." Jasper said looking at Bella. She did he same as Alice and made a face and came to me.
We all started walking inside the school and our parents pulled away, Carlise and Esme left Edward's car where it was.
"So we need to stop at the office," I told Jasper, interrupting there conversation about baseball.
"OK. The Cullens are coming to your game on Saturday." He said, I play baseball, I use to play on the girls team, but the coach said I played to ruff and moved me to the boys team.
"Wow, you made those plans fast." I said laughing, I don't think our parents need to worry about us getting along. Things are going just fine. "Are they coming to lunch with us after the game too?"
"I don't know. I was going to ask you before I invited them." He said. He was good brother, he never pushed boundaries.
"They can come if they want too." I said, Jasper looked at them
"Sounds fun." Edward said
We walked into the office and up to the desk. "These are the Cullens," I said "this is there first day."
"OK the receptionist said," she turned to the computer, "Edward, Emmett, and Alice?" she asked
"Yep" I said, I have done this over and over, part of the job of being a police man's child.
"Address?" She needed to ask that to make sure they where really the Cullens.
"3981 Emerald Creek" I said, The woman turned back to the computer to put it in
"How do you spell that?" She asked
"E-m-e-r-" I started
"Rose, they can speak for themselves!" Jasper interrupted me.
I looked at the Cullens
"Um...We don't know the exact spelling..." Emmett said "We haven't seen our address on paper yet. Sorry."
I looked at Jasper and smirked. "E-m-e-r-a-l-d." I said.
She put it in the computer and waited a second. "You moved here from Alaska?" She asked
"Yes" All the Cullens said at the same time.
"OK. Edward..." She said, she was pulling up his schedule "First period study hall, second math, third science, fourth lunch, fifth english, sixth gym, seventh you pick yourself. You can pick art, music, mechanics, or fashion.
"Music" Edward said quickly.
"OK." She handed him a folder with a map, his schedule, a paper for all of his teachers to sign, a list of after school actives he could join, some paper work for him to fill out, some paperwork for his parents, and a temporary student I.D. "have all of your teachers sign that paper, fill out the paper work, and have your parents fill out there's and after school bring it all back here and I'll make you a real student I.D."
"OK." Edward went to the back of the office and started looking through his papers.
"Emmett." The receptionist said, and pulled up his schedule "First period study hall, Second gym, third science, fourth lunch, fifth english, sixth math, seventh you pick, same chooses as Edward."
"I'll do mechanics." Emmett said.
"OK." She handed him a packet just like Edward's "You need to do the same as Edward and bring this back to me after school."
"OK. Thanks." Emmett walked to the back and sat down next to Edward and started looking at his papers.
"Alice." The receptionist said, she pulled up Alice's schedule "First-"
"Can she have the same schedule as Bella?" I said, interrupting the receptionist, I didn't want Alice to have to take any classes by herself, I know Bella hates school because she doesn't have any friends and people pick on her.
"Um...let me check." She said, she looked at the computer, then picked up the phone and called a few people. We went and sat down because we had been standing up there for a while. We sat back there for 45 minutes, the only think that happend the hole time was that Edward asked me if he could borrow a pen so he could start his paperwork.
"OK. Alice has the same schedule as Isabella. Does she want the same ending class? Bella's in music." She asked
"Alice?" I asked, she looked at Edward, she was just like Bella, she didn't like talking to people she didn't know.
"Do you want to take Fashion by yourself or music with Bella and Me?" Edward asked her
"And Jasper." I added, I had taken music every semester until this one. My Dad told me I had to try somthing else. When I picked machanices he wasn't completly happy, I know almost everything about machanics too, so I wasn't really trying anything new.
"Music" She said
"Are you sure?" Emmett said, "You love fashion."
"Yeah" Alice told him, Alice was siting on the floor by Edward, Like Bella had been with me at the station.
"She loves mucis too." Edward said
"OK. I guess she wants music." Emmett said.
"OK. She can switch later if she wants." The receptionist said.
"OK." Edward said, he more focused on Alice than he was on anything else.
"What's Bella and Alice's schedule?" Emmett asked, I forgot the Cullens didn't know Bella's schedule.
"Since there freshman they don't have many classes with the Juniors. First is Study hall with you, second is English, third Gym, forth is lunch just like you, fifth is math, sixth is health they have health insead of science, next year will drop health and pick up science instead, and seventh is music with Edward and Jasper." The receptionist explained.
"Thanks" I said, I took Alice's folder "Do you guys have anymore quesions?"
"No" They all seemed pretty quesioned out.
"Ok then." I turned to the receptionist "Thanks for your help" We all walked outside
"Well that was a process." I said.
"At lease we got out of half of study hall." Jasper said. "It's already 8:40, so we only have like 15 minutes left."
"We better get to class then." I said I handed Alice her folder.
"Thanks." She said really quite, but at least she talked to me, I was going to say something back but she turned to Edward before could "What's this?" She asked
"Just papers. You need to give them to Mom and Dad." Edward explained
"Why?" Alice was JUST like Bella. The only thing she was done this hole time that isn't like Bella is that she thought about taking fashion.
"So we can go to this school." Edward said
"OK." Alice seemed happy with the answer she got, so she let the conversation drop.
We got to Study Hall and started to walk in. The Cullens went up to the desk to get there papers signed and we went to go find seats.
We all sat down, I sat down, Jasper sat on my right, Edward sat to the right of him, Emmett sat to the right of Edward, Alice to the of Edward, and Bella the right of Alice, which meant that I was sitting on the right of Bella, because it is a round table. We started talking.
