Chapter 1: Isle Esme

Brazil

Edwards POV

Second day on this senior trip, this island was amazing, it was a reward after all the work we put into it for the past two years, the fundraisers, the bake sales… all of it led to this trip. We were going to spend the whole summer in this magical place, a last occasion to be with our longtime friends before our lives went different ways. With just one word our whole lives will change… college.

As I strolled near the poolside were my guys were waiting for a mid-morning dip, someone bumped into me.

"I'm so sorry" a sweet voice said.

I looked down and was amazed; it was a girl, I help her get steady her eyes were framed by purple rimmed glasses, she had light brown eyes, a blush covered her cheeks.

"No blood no fouls" was my reply to her.

"Are you okay?" I asked her, just to hear her voice again. "Yeah I think so" she replied still embarrassed.

I introduced myself, "I'm Edward" I said my hand extended to her.

"Bella" she uttered shaking my hand.

There was a moment of awkward silence between us.

"Well, be careful. See you around" I said giving her a lopsided smile.

"Bye" she replied and went her way.

Bella POV

Brazil, I still couldn't believe it. I thought it was going to be impossible for us to come here. But we worked hard, really hard all junior and senior year, some parents paid off what was left per student. Mines also gave me a lot to spend, plus what I have saved on my own with my tutoring, babysitting, and working as a cashier and waitress jobs. It had been two ruff years for the whole senior class.

We were going to spend the whole summer here; we finished classes early and had our graduation ceremony. We were going to have prom here at the resort; two members of school faculty accompanied us to make sure that nothing happened since some of us were still minors.

I just had to be my klutzy self and trip, and over a guy to top it all. At least he was nice about it and helped me get steady. Edward… what an old name, like from old literature. He was very handsome. Green eyes, his hair looked like a penny, tall and muscular but slender; I've never seen anything like him before. He is kind of cute.

I went my way after the encounter; I was meeting my friends to go to the gym. I wasn't telling them about what happened though…

Edward POV

It's been a week since we have been here. The activities manager had informed us that there was another high school senior group here. He had an idea of getting us all together into one big group, and make a trip to the forest maybe hike, but that he would make some previous activities for us to meet and the like.

Our group agreed, our school was always up for competition and meeting new people, the boys were exited to meet new girls, and some of the girls were exited for the new boy faces too.

I haven't stopped thinking about the girl from the other day…Bella. I looked for her everywhere, even asked at reception but they told me that they didn't have any Bella registered; maybe she was here with her parents…

I couldn't do much since I didn't have her last name.

My classmates and I were gathered in the gazebo area of the resort we had been told to be there, we had received a very strange invitation to a bonfire this morning. Soon enough Mrs. Halsey and Mr. Stewart were coming towards us with the activities and recreation manager from the resort.

"Hello everyone, we gathered you here to tell you about the activities that will take place the rest of the summer. We had a meeting with the teachers in charge of the other school and we agreed that it's a good idea to merge both groups and have some of the recreational activities together. We will start Wednesday with a meet and greet bonfire at sunset like the invitation said, then the hike will be Thursday." Mrs. Halsey informed us, there were some complaints and murmurs.

"I can assure you that you will get what you paid for, it will be fun. The invitations were sent to the other school too, they are having a meeting like this one in gazebo 4. They are actually excited to do this" the manager said.

"Where are they from anyway?" Jessica asked

"They came from Phoenix" Mr. Stewart replied to Jessica.

"Come on guys this can be fun, and also a great opportunity to meet new people, maybe make some new friends, who knows?" Mrs. Halsey said with enthusiasm.

"I think they are right, this can be fun. Come on guys, we don't know if we don't try, I mean how bad It can be?" I exclaimed encouraging. Some of them nodded.

"Fine then, let's do this! Whatever you say" Jessica said exasperated, "okay then got to whatever you had planned for today. Remember you have a surfing lesson scheduled for later today, don't be late." They reminded us.

Bella POV

So we were going to have a bonfire to meet the seniors from the other school on Wednesday, I was actually exited for this. It could be fun! This trip was getting better and better.

We all headed to the pool area we were going to play water polo, well the ones who knew how to play would, I was going to get tanned while I watched the game, then we could all go in the pool after the game was over.

~SL~

I was finished getting ready for the bonfire, I was just waiting on Angela to finally be done. Angela and I have been friends since we were babies, we are neighbors and went to daycare together, Angela is going to the university of phoenix next fall, I'm going far away like to the other side of the pond as they say… I didn't want to think about the goodbyes now; it was not the time yet.

"Okay I'm ready, let's get this show on the road" Angela ushered me out of the door. Eric met us half way, we had added him to our group when he moved to the other side of the street on fifth grade; he is a science nerd while I'm a book nerd, and Angela is a math geek; give her any equation and she will resolve it.

The bonfire was located in the farthest area of the beach near the rocks and some pool tides where you could submerge your feet in the cool water; there was a registration table we headed that way, "good evening, names please"

"Isabella Swan, Angela Webber, and Eric Yorkie" they handed us a sticker with our named printed on and the school we belonged to. The whole area was lit with lanterns and bamboo sticks far apart from each other since the main focus was the fire pit that was built in the center, there was a DJ in a small platform the music blaring, there were tables with food and drinks and logs all over the place to act as chairs.

I had a drink in my hand and was enjoying the music while watching amused as Angela and Eric danced.

"Hi there" I heard behind me, "I'm Alice" it was a petite girl with brown eyes and hair that fell a few inches under her shoulders.

"Nice to meet you" I shook her hand.

"I'm from Chicago, you must be form the school in Phoenix" she stated.

"Yes, nice shirt by the way." I complimented her, "oh thanks, I made it myself" Alice said with pride.

"Alice there you are, I've been looking for you. Where is my drink?" a guy asked her.

"Here you oaf, I was just talking to…"

"Isabella, from phoenix" I replied shyly.

"Isabella, this is my cousin Edward"

The guy looked at me and then I remembered it was the guy I had bumped into. "Isa…Bella" he said

"I've been looking for you everywhere!" he exclaimed happily.

Alice looked at us confused, "I take that you have met?" she asked.

"Yes" Edward replied without looking at her. I looked away embarrassed, he was staring at me.

"Um, okay I'll see you later cuz. I'll be with Jane"

"Would you like to seat with me?" Edward asked me, I could talk to the guy right? The whole point of this gathering was to meet each other so we could spend the summer as a big group.

"I've really been looking for you, why didn't you tell me your name?" Edward said as we sat in one of the nearest logs. "I did tell you my name"

"You said Bella, not Isabella that's why I couldn't find you" he debated.

"Ahh well, I prefer Bella" was my response, it was the truth after all. "So you're from phoenix and you're staying here for the summer, how old are you?"

"I'm Seventeen, and you?" I asked "eighteen, my birthday was last month"

"Why were you looking for me?" I asked boldly, I needed to know.

"I wanted to see you, I mean I did say see you around, I was wondering if maybe we could hang out at the pool or something." Edward replied, "That would have been nice, although you don't owe me anything; I was the one who bumped into you." I clarified, he didn't respond to that statement.

"Why do you like Bella?"

"Isabella is what adults call me when I've done something wrong" was my reply, Edward laughed.

"Well Bella means beautiful in Italian"

"I'm nowhere near beautiful" I said my head down.

Edward didn't say anything although he looked like he wanted to, "hey they're serving dinner, do you want to come with me, or you came here with someone?" Edward said, "Um yes my friends have to be somewhere, here but I'll go with you to the food line at least, maybe they are there" I suggested.

Angela and Eric were indeed in the line alongside Alice and I guessed some people from their school.

"Edward these are my best friends Angela Webber and Eric Yorkie" I introduced them, "Edward Masen, nice to meet you." We all grabbed what we wanted and went to find a spot to seat in a log, Edward, Angela, Eric, and I sat together while Alice and I suppose was their group from school sat nearby, we all talked animatedly although I mostly listened.

Right after dinner when the dancing had been picked up again, the activities manager and his assistant came over and told us that we were going to do a meeting exercise, everyone sat down and listened. We had to say our name age, our hobbies and such.

Everyone did it and then it was my turn, "Isabella Swan, seventeen, class president and I like reading."

"Nerd" someone muttered, Edward glanced to the person who said it with a dirty look.

"Funny Victoria" he said annoyed.

I didn't mind the commentary; I didn't let that get to me.

The last who remained introduced, "okay well Thursday we will go hiking, enjoy the rest of the party."

"Would you like to dance?" Edward asked me, "Ahh I'm not very good at that. I don't want to embarrass you" I said my head low, "Oh come on Bella. I don't care what everyone thinks I'm here to have a good time and right now I really want to dance with you. Besides, it's all in the leading, come on please. I'm asking for just one dance" he pleaded with me.

Edward's POV

One dance turned into three whole songs. That Bella was shy was an understatement, being around me is awkward for her but I mean I know where she comes from she bumped into me.

I got a good look at her as we were dancing; she was very pretty although her glasses made her eyes a little big. She wasn't wearing any makeup and she didn't have many accessories on, her hair looked silky and she smelled like flowers.

As the bonfire came to a close, Bella and I were walking down the beach, talking about anything and everything, she told me about her school and her friends, and we talked a little about our likes and dislikes. She was very different from the girls I know; it's a good different, refreshing almost. I could carry a conversation with her; it's amazing, she knows so much.

"Bella, Bella where are you?" I could hear her friends Angela and Eric calling her in the distance, "oh but look at the time, it's almost midnight. I have to go Edward" Bella hurried.

"Hey slow down, I'll accompany you to the villa" I told her, I didn't want to let her go just yet.

"I'm here guys, I just lost track of time." She appeased them, "okay we're heading back, and you should do the same." Angela pointed out.

"I'll be there soon" Bella stated.

They went their way Bella and I followed but at a slower pace.

"This place is amazing" I said looking at the sky, "yeah it's a change from the city; the sky is so clear you can see the stars and appreciate the moon better" I added

"I totally agree with you Edward" Bella said.

Too soon we were at her door, "well it was nice seeing you again" she told me.

"Yeah, maybe tomorrow we can hang out sometime? After the hike I mean" I asked my tone hopeful.

"Definitely, goodnight" she nodded.

"Night" I said before turning around.
