Hi everyone, I thought of this idea earlier and thought It would make a good story. I am not sure where it will go and how long it will go on for, but depending on reviews/wether you like it or not, I will choose to continue it or not.
For those who have read my other stories, You will be aware by the amount of Exams/Gcses I have coming up within the space of a few months and although I pormise to try as hard as I can to update, I can only do what I can xxx
Feel free to inbox me for any questions
Alice POV
I wasn't too sure how boarding school would turn out for us, We had previously lived in a small
town of Forks and Mom and Dad had decided that due to dads work placement, That it was
necessary to put us into a boarding school south of Seattle. I could tell that mom didn't want to but I
also knew that she wasn't given much choice after dad was offered a work placement in New York and would be traveling from place to place.
Our last evening at our house was sad, I would miss my room that I had slept in for the last 16 years but with a brother like Emmett , I wasn't too worried about being away from mom and dad. I had
been to Seattle a few times and the area seemed OK but I was nervous about the type of people I would be sharing with, People could have been sent here for all reasons and I could be mixing with
anyone. I found myself simply wandering around my room, touching everything I passed whilst trying to sink in all the old memories. My Pink case sat open on my bed, Filled with the basics, Pictures, Valuables and other things that I had for years. Mom had told us not to take to much at first
so on holidays, our rooms would still feel like they belonged to us yet I wanted all my things with me wherever I go. I could here Emmett's stereo booming though my wall and I smiled remembering that at least I would still have my brother with me.
Mom was going to drive Emmett and I tomorrow where I would be enrolled as a junior and Emmett as a senior so this was our last night and I could feel the nerves wracking though me. I Couldn't be
sure whether Emmett was exited or not as I knew he was very good at hiding his emotions, but as for me I was not only nervous, I was terrified of what this might bring.
Emmett POV
I was both nervous and Exited about going to the school. It was something new and I was all in for it and yet I was faced with the question of rules. I was someone who found it hard to stick to rules. I did what I wanted to an extend and I was not prepared to be bossed around by someone who thinks that they are my parents.
I was worried for Alice. She was only 17 and even though thats only a year younger than me, I was still left with that protective feeling I got when I was around her. She was small for her age and I didn't want people using her or feeling like they could trick her into something that didnt involve her at all. I had had experience and being a junior was not easy.
"Come on Alice, We'll be late sweetie." My mom chimed as I walked over to the car and threw myself into the backseat. I found myself looking forward to this quite a lot now and meeting new people was something else I looked forward too. We were starting at the beginning of a school year so I was hoping there would be many new people there that would be in the same position as me and I was looking forward to standing out from the crowd as much as I could.
I saw Alice, tear-stained, trudge over to the car and climbed in next to me and I felt the usual pang of concern I felt for my sister in this state. She had had a rough year. Her boyfriend, Edward had broken up with her a few months ago and she was still getting over that. She had been bullied at school due to her height and hair and nothing seemed to go right for her after that.
I think mom came on too strongly when she announced that they would be attending boarding school just weeks after Alice's break-up and I think she felt unwanted and insecure.
This was going to be her year, I would make sure of it.
Alice POV
Mom spent the whole journey saying how she would miss us and yet I didn't believe a word of it. As nice as she could be, If she wanted us, she wouldn't send us away. She was just one of the millions of women that couldn't cope with their teenagers and it wasn't like we were bad. Both Emmett and I were straight A students and barely ever got into any kind of trouble (OK Emmett gets into odd fights) and yet she still couldn't handle it.
I would never let that happen. I wanted to wait a few years before I had children but I felt ready now even though it was ridiculous. I wanted to get though my school life, settle down and start my family where I wouldn't fail as a mother no matter what happened. I would love my children and care for them unlike I had been.
We finally arrived and I gave up my attempts to reply to moms small talk.
The building was tall and modern looking compared to our other school and I knew from the visit that the dorms were around the back. I didn't really know who I was going to be with but I got the feeling that this school would be better than the last.
"Welcome, You must be Alice and Emmett Cullen?" A woman asked us meeting us at the gate as Emmett nodded his head.
"I have to run guys, I have a shift at the shop in an hour." Mom said apologetically as she gave us one quick hug each before racing to the car. "I'll see you in a couple of weeks, I love you!" She shouted out the window as I tried to rein I my anger from her unemotional departure.
"OK then, I have your booklets inside if you would follow me."
I took a small step toward the gates which suddenly opened at my moovement and I walked quickly through, scared it would decide to slam shut on me. She led us into a small office where the walls were covered in a mass of awards and certificates from the school.
"OK so Emmett, You will be in dorm 304 which if you follow the main corridor, you will come to a large staircase. Go up till level three and take the route labeled boys dorms and you will come across your room OK? Alice you go the same but of course go down girls dorms and your room number is 217." the lady smiled at us and passed us a think booklet along with a uniform each and a timetable.
Term starts in 5 days so I suggest that you read the booklet for all your information on where to go and what to do before then ok?" she asked as we walked out the room.
There didnt seem to be many people around and I assumed that we were one of the first few to arrive for the new year. I looked out the window and saw stables. Stables? So you could ride horses here? I had never tried and yet I had always wanted too. My friend had once done it but after she fell off she never rode again and I suddenly lost confidence.
Without noticing it, I had reached the path reading "girls dorms"
"Will you be ok Allie?" Emmett asked, hugging me tightly in his fun brotherly way.
"Yeah I think so Em, Do you think that we will see each other much?"
"Of course I do lil sis, You'll see me so much, you'll get sick of me." He laughed before running down the corridor with his suitcase.
I turned back to face the corridor which stood with numerous numbers on. The first number was 100 so I was assuming that the others were downstairs? The school seemed huge on the inside and I began to wonder how well I would actually fit in here.
Ok so that I chapter 1 Not great, I know and I will attempt to update ASAP but like I said, I Have loadss of Exams :(
Please review what you think so I know whether to keep it or not :)
