Chapter 1
I peeked out of my window to see the morning sunlight coming through the clouds. Great. Only one day left until school. I had been attending Washington University for a year now, and i had still made few friends. I hated the first day of school, all the teachers try so desperately - and unsuccessfully - to catch up with the work. A loud knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts, and i quickly ran to see who it was. I opened the door to see a beaming, beautiful pixie-like girl with short, choppy black hair, and sparkling turquoise eyes. She was bouncing up and down, smiling at me enthusiastically.
"Uh... hi?" I said, confused by the pile of bags behind her.
"Hi! I'm Alice." She chirped at me.
"Bella." I held out my hand and she took it quickly. "So, what are you doing here, then?"
"Oh, you probably didn't know, then. I'm your new roommate!" I couldn't help but smile at her happiness.
"That's great! Come on, I'll help you with your bags..." I tried to count how many she had quickly. There were too many. How many bags does such a small person need?
"Oh, yeah, thanks." she said with a sweet smile.
"How did you carry so many bags up the stairs?" I questioned as i squeezed two of her bags through the small doorway.
"My brothers helped me, Emmett and Edward. They're starting school here too. You'd like them." She winked.
"Well, I'd definitely like to meet them then," i chuckled. All the guys here are idiots. Out of the few guys I'd dated, i only really liked one of them; Jacob Black, but he was a totally different story.
After i helped her unpack, we talked about her family for a while, then mine, until she insisted on giving me a makeover after rummaging through my closet of boring, but comfortable clothes. I never really wore makeup and didn't bother to follow new fashions very often. I'd never liked spending money on things i didn't need, so i didn't bother. She started by making me wash my hair with different kinds of expensive shampoos and conditioners, then she sprayed something into my hair and blow dried it. She then combed it through and straightened it quickly, and started curling my long brown hair into loose curls that fell lightly around my face. After spraying the curls into place, she started on my makeup. I begged her to keep it light and looking natural, and she did.
"Wow, Bella... you look... amazing! Just wait until my brothers see you!" I blushed as she spun me around in the chair.
I stared at the sight before me. I didn't see the old Bella, who lived in the wet town of Forks, Washington with her father, Chief Swan. I looked totally different. The reflection i saw was of the new Bella. As much as i hated the makeover process, i loved the outcome. I was soon bouncing up and down in harmony with Alice, who bought over a stunning violet halter top and light denim short shorts with fishnet tights. I stared at them wide-eyed as she pushed me into the bathroom with them.
I slipped them on, not looking into the mirror until i was finished. I looked amazing! I looked like i was going clubbing or something. I burst out of the bathroom and spun on the spot as Alice eyed me up and down.
"OHMYGOSHBELLAYOULOOKAMAZING!" she squealed so quickly it took a second to understand what she said.
I blushed again, "Um, thanks Alice." I giggled and she soon joined in.
After a few minutes of giggling, there was a louder knock at the door. For some reason, my heart skipped a beat. I quickly forgot about it and pulled Alice to the door with me. She pulled the door open quickly and i found myself staring into a pair of gorgeous, piercing emerald green eyes. I was too hypnotized to say anything. I just looked at the stunning boy that stood in front of me. He had messy bronze hair, a quite muscular, tall figure, and a flawless face, with a dazzling crooked smile plastered on it. I was even more stunned when a velvet sound came from his beautiful lips. "Hey." His voice was musical and sexy. He was obviously one of Alice's brothers because of his good looks. I reluctantly looked to Alice to see that permanent smirk still on her face.
"Um... Hi, Bella..." I held my hand out towards him.
"Edward," he took my hand and sent a shock running through my body, and he must've felt it too because he quickly pulled away and smiled at me apologetically, "so, you must be Alice's new roommate, huh?"
"Oh, yeah, i am. Would you like to come in?" I asked, realizing we were still stood in the doorway.
"Sure, Emmett will be here soon." he informed us as he made himself comfortable on the couch. I flipped on the TV for something to do, and settled on the music channels. I was really into the music so when a big muscular figure burst into the room, i squealed and jumped off the armchair and landed at Edward's feet. I blushed and looked up sheepishly. Great, now he thinks I'm a klutz. Which is probably true... He held out his hand to help me up, and i felt the shock again.
I then realized that the person who had burst through the door was there, and returned to reality to greet him. "Hi, I'm Bella, you must be Emmett." I held out my hand again, and he took it and pulled me into a bone-crushing hug. "Can't...breathe...need...oxygen!"
"Hey, Emmett, put her down before you break her ribs you big teddy bear!" Alice yelled.
He smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I'm Emmett. Nice to meet you, Bella!" He smirked and plopped down in my chair, forcing me to sit next to Edward on the small couch, but I, of course, had no problem with that.
After a few minutes of staring at the TV - or in my case, Edward – Alice sat up and started bouncing again, Edward and Emmett sighed, while i just threw her a questioning look. "IHAVEANAWESOMEIDEA!" she exclaimed.
"Oh no..." the boys said in unison.
"WE'RE GOING TO A CLUB!" she squealed even louder.
I sighed, "Alice, i can't dance!"
"Oh, don't worry, I'll teach you a few things" She winked, then dragged me into the bathroom before i could protest. She slammed the door and locked it. "You like Edward, huh?" she stated casually.
What?! Was she a mind reader or something? Okay Bella, breathe, just act cool, "Um, i just met him, what makes you say that?" i tried to look confused, but she wasn't convinced.
"Oh come on Bella! I know he's my brother and everything, but you have to admit, he's gorgeous!" She noticed my blush, obviously, because i saw her trying to hide a smile.
God, she's good, and right, he is gorgeous. But even if i did like him, he's probably got a girlfriend, and if he was single, why would he like me? I'm plain, boring, and not even pretty (though Alice thinks differently). "He is, but i only just met him, just be patient, Alice." then i realized patience wasn't one of Alice's many skills.
Thought she seemed to have gotten the message because she shut up after that, and started to apply more makeup to my face. She went with "smoky and seductive" and pinned a section of my already curled hair. She then dragged me to her huge closet, packed with more clothes than i had ever owned. She scanned through the racks and pulled out a midnight blue – not quite navy – strapless dress, and oh my gosh, it was amazing. I only realized my jaw ad dropped when she passed it to me and told me to put it on.
"W-what?! I can't wear this! I bet it cost--" i was starting to babble but Alice cut me off by shoving me back into the bathroom, "Put it on, or I'll force you into it!" she threatened. I nodded sheepishly and shut the door. I stripped down to my underwear and was about to slide the dress on until Alice burst through the door with a Victoria's Secret bag and flung it at me, then ran out again. I was frozen for a moment, then shrugged and opened the bag. I gasped and almost dropped the bag. Inside was a baby blue corset and a tiny matching lace thong. I sighed and reluctantly put it on because Alice would find a way to force me into it if i didn't. The corset fit perfectly, and it showed a lot of cleavage. I sighed again and slid the dress on. I took one look in the mirror and nearly fainted at the reflection i saw in the mirror. I looked like a goddess. I twirled a few times and watched the dress fly and my curls bounce and beamed as i stepped out of the bathroom. I expected to see Alice in the bedroom, but she wasn't there. It was obvious where she'd be, so i stepped into the closet to find her pulling a box out of a pile of shoe boxes trying to make sure they didn't all fall over. She opened the box and thrust a pair of stunning - but deadly - silver 3 inch heels in my direction, and gave me a 'put them on or I'll do it myself' look, so i did. I giggled as i towered over Alice even more, considering i was usually 5"4. She was so tiny. She shooed me out of the closet, so i sat on the bed and waited.
Alice appeared in front of me within 15 minutes looking more beautiful than ever. Her dress was similar to mine, but white, with spaghetti straps. Her hair was the same as usual but with a little extra bounce in it (if that was possible).
She dragged me by the hand into the living room, where the boys were sitting on the couch in different clothes, They were both in shirts, but Edward's was unbuttoned so his chest was visible, i almost drooled. Edward turned to see me and his jaw dropped and his eyes sparkled. Apparently i have the same effect on him as he has on me. I giggled to myself at the thought.
He stood up and flashed Alice a brief smile and inverted his gaze back to me. I blushed and he chuckled as he noticed, which, of course, made me blush more. "You look... amazing... beautiful... I-I can't explain it--" I put one finger to his lips.
"Shh, you're babbling," I giggled, "and thanks, you look pretty amazing too." I smiled as i looked him up and down again. When my eyes finally met his again, i melted. I don't know how long we stood there, staring into each others eyes, but it must've been a long time because Alice had to bring us back to reality. Evil little pixie.
"Come on guys! We'll never get there standing still!" She yelled and dragged Edward through the door, and of course, i couldn't escape as he'd grabbed my hand at the same time. I was sure i felt a shock when he touched me.
We walked – more like ran – outside and slid into a black limo. Woah. A limo to go to a club? The Cullen's must be rich!
We soon arrived at the club. It was called 'New Moon', it looked amazing, even from the outside. Alice danced over to the bouncer and whispered something in his ear, then slipped him some cash. He let us in and pointed us to a waitress who would show us our table.
The design was black and white, with red and gold decorations everywhere, it looked... expensive. Edward and Emmett ordered our drinks, which i had no idea what they were, but i didn't really care.
When our drinks came, i quickly took a sip before Alice dragged me onto the dance floor. She ran to the DJ and requested for a song. He nodded and a few moments later 'Low – Flo Rida ft T Pain'. She appeared in front of me in seconds and started swaying to the music. I joined in and eventually caught onto the beat of the music before the chorus. "Ready Bella?" She sang.
"Um, i suppose..." I squeaked. She stood behind me and put her hands on my hips, and continued swaying.
"Watch this Bella," and as the song went 'Next thing you know, shawty got low...low...low...low...low...low...low...' she did a slow booty drop in front of me, then popped back up gracefully. Oh no, she expected me, the klutz, to do that?! "think you can do that?" she winked.
"Doubt it," i sighed "but I'll try..." so we swayed until the chorus came again. 'Next thing you know, shawty got low...low...low...low...low...low...low...' I tried as hard as i could to imitate Alice's dancing, and i think i did quite good. I smiled to myself for a second.
"Wow, Bella, that was H-O-T." she squealed and i giggled. "Come on, Edward's been staring at you for ages, i think we should go back." she winked again. What? Edward was staring at me? I felt my cheeks getting hot. But i was pulled from my thoughts – more like fantasies – of Edward by Alice pulling me up the stairs to our table.
I slowly sat down next to Edward, still blushing, and i could tell he was staring at me still. I was taking a sip of my second drink when i felt something warm on the back of my neck. I shivered and heard a velvet voice in my ear, "Bella, you looked amazing. I hope you can save a dance for me..." I almost fainted and my cheeks were a darker crimson than before, so i just nodded slowly. "... and you look sexy when you blush." I turned to look into his eyes, and they were twinkling bright green. His mouth was pulled into that crooked smile again, and his lips looked so warm and inviting. I leaned closer to take in his scent, and kept leaning in until i heard someone clearing their throat behind me. We both jumped to see Emmett and Alice smirking, and Edward just chuckled quietly and i blushed even more – if that was possible – and shrunk into my chair. Edward noticed my embarrassment and took my hand and pulled me towards the stairs, and i stopped, "Where are we going?" I asked, confused. He stepped forward and I had to step backwards. He continued walking forwards until i was pinned against the wall.
"We're going to dance, remember?" He breathed more of his amazing scent and winked. I was frozen for a moment as Edward leaned closer. I had to stop myself from getting carried away so i ducked under his arm and pulled him by the hand down the stairs. "In a hurry?" He chuckled.
"Well, if you want to get your dance, you might wanna make the most of it," i started, smiling, "because i might turn into a pumpkin at midnight and disappear, which would be bad, 'cause I'm not wearing glass slippers, so you wouldn't--" he cut me off by crashing his warm lips to mine, i was momentarily shocked, and forgot to move until he wrapped his arms around my waist, and i reacted quickly, tangling my hands in his hair and pressing myself against him to lock myself to him forever. The kiss was soft but passionate, and i loved it. I felt his warm tongue graze my bottom lip begging for entrance and i gladly let his tongue dance with mine. I moaned when our tongues finally met, and he did too. I was getting breathless, so i reluctantly pulled away and looked into his hungry eyes. We were both panting and his hands wouldn't let go of my waist, so i laid my head on his chest and tried to get my breathing back to normal. "W-O-W." I let out in 3 syllables.
"Wow is an understatement." he added. I giggled and he chuckled.
We danced for a while, using some of the moves Alice had taught me earlier, then we hurried back upstairs, hand in hand to our table, towards Alice and Emmett who were beaming. Edward sat down and pulled me into his lap.
"What have you two been up to then?" Emmett teased. I blushed and hid my face in Edwards chest.
"Just dancing." Edward said calmly. Surprisingly, they shut up about it and we continued to talk and drink for about an hour.
I felt him lean closer so his hot breath tickled my neck. "Wanna leave?" I nodded and jumped up.
"Woah, woah, what's the rush, Bells?" Alice yelled over the loud music.
"I'm tired, and i think i had a bit too much to drink..." It was true, and at that moment, i swayed to the side, but a pair of strong arms formed a cage around my waist and steadied me.
"Careful, love." he whispered into my ear. I tried to walk in a straight line, but I'd had a bit too much to drink. I swayed again, and almost fell down the stairs a few times, so eventually he scooped me up into his arms and held me tight against his chest. I snuggled my head into his neck and took in his delicious scent. The last thing i remember before i drifted off to sleep was his lips touching my forehead softly.
A/N - so, how was that? (: REVIEW PLEASE! x
