A Surprising Life

Chapter 1

BellaPOV

I woke up to Marie, a 5 year old here, jumping on my bed. "Bella, wake up! Come on!"

I sighed, and sat up, looking up at her. She is the cutest little girl in the world, I swear. I couldn't help but put my arms around her, bringing her down to me, tickling her.

She kept on laughing, and I did along with her. "Ok, ok stop! Please!"

I giggled, but stopped, letting her sit up next to me. "Good morning, Marie."

"Morning Bella!" She hopped up, walking over to her side of the room, and started jumping on her bed. "Guess what?"

"What?" I asked, watching her.

"It's open house tomorrow!" She exclaimed.

My heart dropped, but I smiled, to let Marie know I was alright. "That's great!" I lied. That wasn't great. I hated open house days. They just were a constant reminder that no one wants me.

Let me explain my life to you. My name is Isabella Swan, and I am 15 years old. I, along with many other girls and boys, live in the Alaskan Orphanage. When I was 5, my parents had died in a car crash, and I was at a babysitters at the time. I was taken here, because no one else in the family wanted me. This is now my tenth year here, and no one wants a teenager. I am the oldest girl here, I am also the oldest kid here in general. I take care of a lot of the children, because I love to do it. I was surprised Marie hadn't been adopted yet. She has been here for 2 years, her mother had died when she was in child birth, and after two years of taking care of Marie, her father died to, by a heart attack. She was left here.

Every open house, I watch as little kids ages from 10 months to 10 years, get adopted. Because no one wants a teenager, who had already gone through her childhood stages, and in 3 years is out on her own.

That is why I hate Open Houses. It is a constant reminder that I'm not wanted.

"Bella, are you listening?" Marie asked, annoyed. She is very mature. I have taught her a lot since she came here, so most of the time she doesn't act like a 5 year old.

I smiled apologetically. "Sorry, Marie, what were you saying?"

She sighed, hopping down to sit on her bed. "I said, Ms. Karla wanted me to ask you if you wouldn't mind helping set up the tables and stuff. And I wanted to ask you if you would help me pick out my clothes and do my hair."

I had to smile at that. I loved how Marie looked up to me, I felt like a mother a lot around her. "Of course I will help her. And yes, ill help you Marie."

Ms. Karla was the woman that watched over us, she was also in charge of the place. She was so nice, and like a mother in so many ways.

Marie clapped, running towards the door, probably to go tell Ms. Karla.

I sighed, walking over to my dresser, to pick out some clothes for the day. I went to the bathroom, taking a quick shower, and put them on, blow drying my hair before going down to eat some breakfast. I put on some flats, and walked downstairs, heading to the kitchen. When I walked in I saw Ms. Karla sitting eating some eggs. "Hello, Bella."

"Good Morning, Ms. Karla." I said, making myself some toast, I wasn't that hungry today.

I sat down next to her once it was done.

"So, Marie told me you would help tomorrow?"

I nodded. "Yes, I would love to help out tomorrow. I can tell lots of kids are going to be adopted."

"who knows, you might be to." She said, smiling at me.

I rolled my eyes, sighing. She knows of my doubts on ever getting adopted.

She finished her food, putting the plate ad fork in the sink. "Well, you never know Bella. I'll see you later, ok? there are some people here meeting me."

I nodded, and she walked out, leaving me to finish my toast. I highly doubted I would get adopted, but I wasn't going to say that out loud.

By now I was done eating and headed outside to see Marie on the swings. She saw me and waved, smiling, and jumped down, and started to run over to me. As she was hopping over a log that kept the woodchips in the area, she tripped and fell down. "Ow!" She yelped, and I could see tears started to run down her face.

"Marie!" I shouted, running over to her. Some other kids had started to go over to her, but when they saw me they stopped. They knew I would be able to help Marie the best.

I knelt down beside her, inspecting her knee. It was cut, and started to bleed. I picked her up carefully, and stood up as she clung to me. "Shh, sweetie, hold on." I said, and started to walk towards the doors. As I was walking, I saw Ms. Karla walking over to me, along with 3 inhumanly beautiful people. One was tall, and blond, he had his arm around a woman with brown shiny hair, and the third girl was shorter than them, with black spiky pixie like hair. They were beautiful, but they seemed tense. The only thing that kept me from staring was the crying girl in my arms.

"Bella, we saw what happened. Is she alright?" Ms. Karla said, rubbing Marie on the back, who had her head in my neck.

"I think so, I'm just going to get her to the nurse, to clean up the cut." I said, smiling at her, and also the 3 gorgeous people, before walking around them.

"Alright Bella. Thank you. Oh, and Bella?"

I turned around, looking at her, still shushing Marie. "Yes, Ms. Karla?"

"Do you mind coming to my office after your done. To tell me how she is?"

I nodded. "Of course." I said, and walked to the doors, heading down the hall way, to the nurses office. I knocked on the door, "Come in."

I opened the door, and Ms. Sarah, the nurse, looked up. "Oh, dear, what happened?"

I told her the story, and sat down, holding Marie on my lap, as Ms. Sarah cleaned up the cut, putting a bandage over it. She smiled, and handed Marie a lollipop. "All better dear?"

Marie nodded, grinning, putting the lollipop in her mouth. We laughed, and Ms. Sarah excused us, and I took Marie to our room. "You ok now Marie?"

She smiled, nodding. "yes, thank you Bella."

I smiled. "It's no problem Marie, your like my little sister." I laughed, ruffling her hair.

She glared, but started to smile. "You to!"

I grinned. "OK, I'll see you in a bit, ok?"

"Where are you going?"

"Down to Ms. Karla's office. She wanted to know how you were."

"Oh ok."

I walked downstairs, headed towards Ms. Karla's office.

Ms. KendraPOV

After Bella walked inside, I turned towards the Cullen's and we started to walk back to my office.. "Now you know who Bella is." I said. When they came today, they had said they wanted to adopt an older girl. I knew right away Bella was the one.

Carslile smiled. "She seems very independent."

I nodded. "Yes, she takes care of many kids here, especially Marie. Their like sisters. Marie always has looked up to her."

"That's sweet. She is very nice and polite." Esme said.

"I like her." Alice stated, grinning.

I laughed. "yes, we all do." I opened the door, and we all walked in, and they sat down in the chairs in front of my desk, as I sat down in my chair across from them. "And on the subject of independence, she has always been. I wont tell you her story, just that she has had a hard time. I think she would need affection, it would benefit her."

Carslile nodded. "How long has she been here?"

"She has been here since she was 5, she is now 15. She is the oldest child here."

Esme gasped, sighing. "And no one has even thought about adopting her?"

I shook my head sadly. "No, you are probably the first family to even ask about her."

Alice frowned. "That's so sad."

"Yes, it is. She now thinks that no one ever will adopt her." I told them.

They looked down, probably thinking about Bella. Oh, how I hoped the would adopt her. I think she would love that.

Their was a knock on my door. "Come in, Bella."

BellaPOV

I knocked on the door, and came in when Ms. Kendra said come in. I walked in, closing the door behind me, and saw that the 3 people from earlier were in their also. I looked away quickly before I started to stare.

"please, sit Bella."

I sat down on a chair that was next to the short pixie like girl.

"How is Marie?"

I smiled. "She's good. Once Ms. Sarah gave her a lollipop she was perfectly fine."

Ms. Karla laughed, and I noticed the 3 others smiling. "Well, I'm glad." She smiled. "Bella, I would like you to meet Carslile and Esme Cullen. This is their daughter, Alice." She said motioning to them.

I looked at each of them smiling. "Hello, its nice to meet you. As you already know, I'm Isabella Swan, but I prefer Bella."

They nodded, smiling at me, each of them saying hello.

"They came here today, asking about you Bella." Ms. Karla informed me, and I could tell she was waiting for my reaction.

"Oh." I said, a little taken aback. I mean, I am a little shocked. No one has ever asked about me. "Um..alright.." Brilliant thing to say Bella.

Alice giggled. "You and I are going to be best friends!"

"Alice…" Carslile and Esme sighed, eyeing her. She just shrugged.

I smiled shyly. I wasn't used to theses kind of things, nonetheless being talked to like I'm family.

For the next few minutes, we all talked, and I was surprised that they were even here asking about me. I told them what I do daily, about Marie…they just kept smiling at me.

"Well, we should be getting home soon. Thank you for your time Ms. Karla." Carslile said politely, getting up and shaking her hand. Esme did the same and Alice smiled at us.

"It was great to meet you, Bella!" Alice said, and surprisingly gave me a hug. I blinked, getting out of my state of shock, and hugged her back. Once she pulled away, Carslile and Esme smiled at me. "Thank you for your time too Bella." Carslile said to me.

Esme nodded saying, " "See you later Bella."

I nodded, grinning widely. I couldn't help it, these 3 people made me very happy in the short time of talking to them.

They said goodbye, and then they walked out of the office, headed towards the front door.

Ms. Karla smiled. "So Bella, what do you think of them?"

"Um..that they have got to be the nicest people ever." I said, smiling. "Besides you, Ms. Karla."

She laughed. "Thank you Bella. They are very nice though. Their coming tomorrow, you know."

"Really?" I grinned. She nodded smiling. "That's..great.."

She laughed, and soon I left to go back upstairs. Marie greeted me, asking why I was gone so long. I sat down next to her, and told her all about the Cullen's. She couldn't wait to meet them tomorrow. "Bella, their totally going to adopt you!"

I shook my head. "I kind of doubt it Marie. They'll probably want a little girl, like you." I said, ruffling her hair.

"Nuh uh. Watch, they'll adopt you. Only bad part will be I wont have you anymore, but we'll write and everything!"

I smiled. She had her mind set that I was going to leave tomorrow, while I doubted it. She would probably leave tomorrow. It was sweet that she thought that though.

For the rest of the day and night, I couldn't stop thinking about the Cullen's though. What if Marie was right? What if I was going to be adopted by them?
