SUMMERY:
Bella's a tomboy, well what do you expect when she grew up with her farther Charlie and two brothers, Jake and Emmett. Her mother died when she was four. She and Jake are twins and they are now 17, Emmett is 18. He was adopted by Charlie and the late Renee.
Rose and Jasper are twins. Rose is a ½ way to being a tomboy. The Hale's (Rose Jasper) are best friends with the Swans (Bella, Emmett, Jake). Rose is dating Emmett.
Cullen's are moving in next door (Esme, Carlisle, Edward, Alice). Edward and Alice are both adopted.
They live in Forks. Like I said before PM me if you want to know anything =].
ALL HUMAN!
well on with this thing then…………..
Edward's POV:
Great. We're moving. Again.
Mum wants to go somewhere quiet, and dad would jump off a cliff if she wanted him too. Alice wants a new seen. I just want to stay in one place.
Dad has promised me that if we like it in Forks we won't be moving again. But Forks is Forks. The rainiest place in the world. Ok, maybe not the world, but it comes pretty close. I'm not going to like it there. I know I'm not. I may as well leave my stuff packed.
"EDWARD! Quit sulking and get your stuff in the van!" Alice, how I love my little sister.
"I'M NOT SULKING!" Well, I'm not. I don't really like it here in Alaska. Moving would be good, but this will be the twelfth time we've moved since Alice and I were adopted.
"OH, JUST HURRY UP!" Fine.
I trudged down the stairs and packed my stuff. I don't know how my stuff fit. Alice had twenty boxes of clothes, and don't even get me started on how many box's of shoes she had.
I went and sat in the passenger seat of the cheep rental car. Oh, I miss my Volvo. The shipping people better not scratch it.
With one last glance at my now old house, dad drove off.
Bella's POV:
I will kick Emmett's butt.
My brother and I are racing again. Except this time were racing with skateboards. Ha, he can't even stand up on one. His height and build aren't helping his balance.
I'm a top klutz. I can't balance ether. But when I get on a trick bike or a skateboard I just feel like a trapeze artist. I don't fall, I don't wobble (like Emmett's doing now) and I don't feel frightened. I feel in control.
I can't help the smirk that spreads across my face as I look at my bear of a brother, Em. Time to make some easy cash.
"Oh, sweet, perfect brother of mine?" Emmett looks at me with his eyebrows raised.
"What do you want Bells?"
"How about we make this race interesting? I win, you give me twenty. You win, I give you twenty. How dose that sound?" Emmett has such a big ego, he won't say no.
"Sounds good to me little sis." He chuckled. I'm soooooo going to win. We shook hands. He looked evil, he better not be plotting something. In return I put on my evil smile; the smile that I were when I'm going to make fun of Lauren and her sluts.
He started to look wary. Nothing eats away at your confidence like a worm of doubt. I quickly change my expression to my I'm-an-angel look; the one that gets me out of all sorts of trouble.
Rose, Jasper and Jake stood by watching with amusement. They laugh at my and Emmett's games. It doesn't usually end with and accident… usually.
Rose gave Emmett a good-luck kiss. "Where's mine?" I say teasingly. Rose started walking over to me. "Kidding! Kidding!" I raise my hands in defence. Jake and Emmett laugh. Ok, time to wipe that smile of that goofs face. "Get your wallet ready!" I say in a sing song voice.
Rose takes charge. "Ok. You guys, we want a nice clean race-"
"NO WE DON'T!" Jakes voice interrupted her. She shot him a glare and continued.
"As I was saying, we want a nice clean race. From here to the park, and back. The loser gives the winner $20. Is that clear?" Emmett and I nodded. "Ready… set… GO!"
Let the race begin.
I shot off up the hill and wove in and out of traffic. I took a quick glance behind me. Emmett had fallen off and was getting back on. I couldn't see his face from here, I was way ahead. Why would he agree to this? He must have something up his sleeve.
I reached the park and swung the skateboard around so I was facing the way I came and now going backwards. I pushed the tip of the skate board down to stop, sparks flew from the board scraping the ground.
I pushed off with my left foot and started off down hill; I passed Em and stuck out my tongue. He didn't look too bothered. He got to the park and sloppily turned around. I was nearly home when I realized what he was doing. Home was down hill. Emmett was heavy. He was going to use his wait to go faster. Damn!
I pushed my foot harder; desperately trying to gain speed. He was coming down hill, fast. He crouched to go faster, I did the same. I turned my face forward again and narrowly avoided hitting an oncoming car. The ground started levelling out. Emmett and I were neck and neck.
Then I saw it; a moving van, outside my house. No, not my house, the house next door to us. Boxes were stacked on the path, AKA: in my way. I was going to crash. Emmett saw what I was looking at and skidded to a stop. I tried to stop, but I couldn't.
Purposely I went faster. Jake, Emmett, Jasper and Rose called out my name. I didn't listen, I was concentrating. From my crouched position I tensed – but not for impact. When I was a meter away from the two meter high box stack I sprung upwards, my board coming up as well and flipping underneath me.
I did an oily over the boxes. My feat made contact with the board again as I touched the ground. The jump had slowed me down so I jumped off and stamped on the back end. The board came up; I caught it and tucked it under my arm.
I turned around and faced my friends, family and new next door neighbours.(only Edward and Alice, Carlisle and Esme are inside). They were all gaping at me. Well, I did just do a two meter oily right in front of them unexpectedly.
So I did what I do best. "What? Don't you guys have any faith in me? Or did you think I was going to go splat?" I smiled jokingly at them. Rose, Jasper and Jake started clapping. "Cut that out." I half hissed at them. My dad came up to me. Oh, this is going to be bad.
"Isabella Mari Swan!" I cringed. He sighed, "What am I going to do with you?" I gave him an angelic smile. "Just don't do it again. I've got to go to work. Just… stay out of trouble." My dad got in his car and drove off. He looked upset.
Jake pulled me up on his shoulders. Emmett started jabbering – he had half a bush in his hair, how did that happen? "That was AWSOME little sis!" I gave him a wiry smile. Emmett kept on talking. "You were like, zoom! And then you were flying through the air! And dad let you off!" he yelled . exasperated.
I said calmly and full out grinning, "I'm officially a lost cause." Jake put me down, "And Emmett my gullible, small-minded brother? PAY UP!" I yelled at the end. Ha, ha, the sucker.
He frowned and pulled a twenty dollar note out of his pocket. He handed it to me. "He-hem." I fake coughed. "I do believe that the jump at the end should earn me another twenty at least." I smirked. He frowned.
"No. That wasn't part of the deal." I only smiled at him.
"Ahh, but do you want me to tell dad that you challenged me to race in the first place?"
"But it was you that came up with the idea for the race." I raised my eyebrows at him.
"Emmett, who is he going to believe? Me? Or you?" he handed me a twenty. I pocketed it. A nice profit of $40 for today. I did well.
It was then that I noticed two pairs of eyes that I haven't seen before. I grinned at them.
"Hi." I looked between the sweet-hart-melting emerald eyes that belonged to a bronze haired boy and the electric blue eyes that belonged to a pixy looking girl.
(I could have ended it there but I'm enjoying this)
Edward's POV:
The moving van pulled up beside our new house. There were three kids that looked like they were watching something further up the hill. We started unpacking. Alice's stuff came first. I helped, we quickly had a stack of box's on the side walk.
Then the three kids ran over they looked my age. "Hey, you got to clear the way! They're coming!" What? I looked over to where they were pointing. Two kids were skateboarding down the hill – fast. I looked worriedly back to the girl and two boys.
"There's not enough time." The kids yelled out a name.
"BELLA!" I looked back, one person had managed to stop by skidding into a bush, the other was coming at the boxes even faster than before. I held my breath. She (Bella, must have been the girls name) jumped; it was like slow-motion. I caught a look at her face; it was pulled into a look of concentration. But… she was… beautiful. There was no other way to describe her.
She completed the jump. She jumped lightly off the board, it flipped and she caught it before tucking it under her arm. She turned around and said in a joking manner, "What? Don't you guys have any faith in me? Or did you think I was going to go splat?"
I was still looking at her open mouthed – but I couldn't bring myself to close my mouth –my sister was as well.
The three other kids started clapping, the girl, Bella, hissed something at them and they stopped. A man I assumed was her farther came up to her, "Isabella Maria Swan!" She cringed. The man sighed. He spoke to her softly, so softly I couldn't hear him. He got in his car and drove off.
While her dad was talking to her a bulky boy – older than me – walked up from behind the moving van – he had twigs and leaves in his hair.
Now they were celebrating something. But Bella said to the big one. "And Emmett my gullible, small-minded brother? PAY UP!" She yelled at the end. Pay what?
He frowned and pulled a twenty dollar note out of his pocket. He handed it to her. "He-hem." She coughed. "I do believe that the jump at the end should earn me another twenty at least." She smirked. He frowned.
"No. That wasn't part of the deal." What deal?
"Ahh, but do you want me to tell dad that you challenged me to race in the first place?" Is she black-mailing him? They were racing?
"But it was you that came up with the idea for the race."
"Emmett, who is he going to believe? Me? Or you?" That girl is good, I couldn't do better myself. He 'paid' up.
The girl named Bella met my eyes and Alice's.
"Hi." Her voice made my heart beat faster. Maybe I'll like it here after all.
Bella's POV:
I smiled my, I'm-an-angel smile. The bronzed haired boy looked flustered.
God, he's cute. stop it Bella you never find any boy cute.
I hope he wasn't one of those pansy boys that follow me around at school acting all 'tough'; the bunch of wimps. He didn't look like a pansy boy, his turtle neck fit him snugly and it showed off his abs. Pansy boys do not have abs.
The girl recovered from her shock and replied to my 'Hi'.
"HI! I'm Alice and this is my brother Edward!" Hum, Edward kind of sounds like a pansy boys name – but still, pansy boys do not have ABS! Alice was hyper, she kept on talking. "We just moved here! Well, you probably already know that. Mum and dads inside. We are always moving a lot, but I think that we are staying here for good. I hope so! Forks just seems so, adorable!" She almost squealed on the word 'adorable'. "We were adopted by our mum and dad when we were eight. Esme and Carlisle are the nicest people on the planet! What is school like? Oh, I'm sooo excited!" she was cut off from her rant by Edward.
"Sorry, an over excited Alice is a very dangerous thing indeed. Well… were the Cullen's, And you are?" It was nice of him to let us talk.
I smiled, "I'm Bella Swan and this is my twin Jake." I pointed at Jake, "And my older brother Emmett." I snickered, "Who just got his ass handed to him by a GIRL!"
Emmett, glared at me, "Yes, I'm Emmett. I didn't get my ass handed to me by a girl. I was beaten – unfairly I might add – by my little sister, who is going to start watching her back and sleeping with one eye open from now on." I rolled my eyes. "I was adopted too when I was one."
I carried on, "This, is the unluckiest girl in the world, Rosalie Hail, she is terribly unlucky because she is my brother Emmett's girlfriend." Emmett rolled his eyes and muttered something about Rose being 'the luckiest'. Naturally I ignored him. "That's Jasper Hail, Rose's twin."
Jake, Emmett, Rose and Jasper said, "Hi." This made me want to laugh because they said it at the same time. I happened to notice Jasper eyeing Alice – I might use that as blackmail. (Bella may seem evil but she's not)
Edward spoke, "So which family is going to live next-door to us?"
I grinned, "Swans, unfortunately. Don't worry; we don't make too much noise. Unless, of course, were chasing each other round the house with a baseball bat screaming bloody murder. But that only happens when those two knuckle heads decide to piss me off. This happens at least twice a week." I laughed at Alice and Edwards's faces. They looked like they fell from heaven into hell. (Bella's also high from her adrenalin rush)
Rose decided to calm them, "She's kidding, and they're not that bad. If she was serious she wouldn't be laughing."
I was holding on to the fence, "The look on your faces!" that set me off again. I calmed myself down after about ten seconds, "Sorry, sorry. Couldn't resist. So, are you guys going to Forks High?"
Alice Brightened up and Edward put on a small smile. Alice grabbed my hands and jumped up and down. "Yes! Oh, do you go there too? What is it like? Are there any cute boys there? Do you have a boyfriend? I don't, in Alaska there were some nice boys but I never took a very big interest in them. Oh, were going to be best friends I just know it!" I just stood stock still and tense.
"Oh, we can give each others makeovers and Rose can join and we can sleep over at each others houses, and go shopping!" More bouncing while spinning me around in circles. "Oh, I'm going to love Forks!" I hear every word. I don't know how Rose reacted; I was in a state of shock. I did not want a makeover. I did not like shopping. The idea of manicures and shopping bags chilled me to the very core.
So I did what any sane person wound do… I ran away screaming.
Edward's POV:
I stared after the screaming figure. I know Alice is scary but I thought she was only scary to guys. Bella must have been terrified. Poor, girl. Alice looked upset, "What did I do?"
Jasper answered her, "Um, Alice? Bella was raised by her dad and grew up around Emmett and Jake. She's not really… how do I put this. Into girl stuff."
Alice's eyes grew wide, "She doesn't know the latest fashion trends?"
Rose stepped forward, "Alice, Bella was wearing old jeans, a plain t-shirt and a grey hoody with black converse, all stars." She still looked hot in it though. "She's a female version of her brothers. She's into contact sports such as wrestling and she places bets with Emmett."
Alice smiled evilly, I know that look, she always wares it when she's planning a makeover. Don't ask me how I know it. I repressed all those memories long ago. I do however remember being tied up when I was ten and being turned into Alice's long-lost sister.
I gota find a way to warn Bella.
But…
Alice is a stylist, a really good one – when she's not using her 'talent' on me. I wonder what Bella will look like if she was turned into a girly girl. Ok. Tough decision.
Be loyal…
Or be selfish…
Well, if I don't tell Bella she'll find out and be forced into a makeover. And if I warn her she'll try to get out of it, nothing will stop Alice getting what she wants. Bella will get a makeover anyway.
I'll be good and warn her. It won't stop Alice.
LOOOOONG TIME LATER!
"Edward! Alice! Dinners ready!" Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Jake, Rose and I were sat on the wall out side our houses. I found out that the Hales lived on the other side of the Swans. Strange, but made sense. They had been best friends since there families moved in on the same day sixteen years ago. Alice and I were getting on with them, they were cool. Bella still wasn't back. That made me worried. I don't know why. It just did.
"We better go before Esme breaks all the glass in our house with her screaming." The Swans and Hails grinned.
They all replied with there own versions of 'bye'. My sister and I walked away. I told myself not to turn around. I begged myself not to. But, I did.
"Hey, err, were did Bella go?" Rose raised her right eyebrow. The boys didn't seem bothered. Jasper shrugged his shoulders,
"She probably went walkabouts or fell asleep in a tree or something. She'll be back some time tonight." Fell asleep in a tree? She was some girl.
