Disclaimer: I do not own the twilight series or any of the characters. All of those belong to Mrs. Stephenie Meyer. This story is original, but I got the idea from another story where Bella goes to an all boys boarding school. I wanted to make my own version of it and it will be very different I promise. I don't know what the story is called, but if anyone does I will credit it here :).

Authors note: Review if you like this story! Also check out my other ones. I plan to update this one not as often, but with longer chapters!

Chapter One of

The Painted Streets of London

"Come on Bella! Boarding school will be fun!"

"Alice, it's a boarding school for guys. Not girls." I was just getting on her nerves. I already knew that I was going to go to the school. I talked it over with Charlie days ago, and finally decided to go. It was just fun making Alice think I wasn't coming with her…. Plus, if I said I was going last minute, then we couldn't do much shopping.

"But the whole reason for us to go is so they can become a co-ed boarding school! And plus, then we can live together in the same dorm, and it will be so much fun!" I had to admit, even if it was an all boy's boarding school, bunking with Alice would be pretty fun. Alice and I were the best of friends. We've known each other since we were 8, and were practically irrespirable. She was my best, and only, friend. Alice was currently trying to get me to ditch Forks High for my senior and junior year, to go to an all boys' boarding school. Fortunately Charlie was also good with this idea from the start; Alice could practically convince him to let me jump off a cliff with her puppy dog eyes.

I snapped back to reality, and Alice was still going on and on about how going to a school with only a few girls had its perks. "Fine Alice! I'll go!" I don't know why I said that, I should've held for a few more hours, at least until after lunch, but couldn't hold it in. I have a gut feeling that going to this school will change my life forever. Valentinio senior school, it had a strange name, but at least they got good test scores. Alice jumped up and down. She dragged me to her yellow Porsche and got me to go shopping for our dorm room.

She dragged me through the entire store of 'Bed, Bath, And Beyond'. We ended up getting some light purple and pink sheets, a bunch of colorful pillows, a mirror, a whiteboard, curtains, a poke-a-dot shower curtain, plus many other things. Even though they had uniforms at the school, Alice said that we would be going off campus sometimes, so next we tackled the clothing department of the nearest mall. She insisted on buying me almost everything that she thought looked good on me. I have to admit most the time when Alice went shopping with me she immediately picked out good things, with rare mistakes.

After endless hours of shopping, we had gotten everything that we needed to go to an all boys' school. Both of us were beaten from a hard day of shopping, so we had a sleep over.

We both got into our pajamas, and went to bed. I thought Alice was sleeping, but I couldn't sleep at all. I was actually excited for going to this school, it would be a way for me to have more freedom. With Charlie being a cop, that's what who was referred to most the time, Chief Swan's daughter. I did the same thing every day in this town, and nothing ever happened that was exciting. It would be a nice thing for a change. "Bella? You awake?" I turned over in my bed to look at her.

"I am now. What?"

"Well, do you think you'll find someone special at the school?" I didn't know how to answer that. I've only had one boyfriend in the past, and he wasn't even a good boyfriend. Jacob Black was his name, and I swear our dads set us up. He wasn't exactly a bad boyfriend, but we just weren't meant to be. I love him, but only as a friend.

"Um… I don't know Alice." She looked me in the eye. With a slightly evil smirk on her face.

"You're not over Jacob are you?"

"Yes! I am! I never was into Jacob, and plus, I broke up with him." She looked disapproving, but I wasn't lying. It was the whole truth.

"Ok, just checking. Don't need to get all offensive."

"Sorry, now go to sleep"

"Fine, goodnight Bella,"

"Goodnight." Tomorrow I would be getting on a plane to go to London, England. To tell the truth, I couldn't wait to get out of here.

the next day

Alice and I woke at 3:00 am to get ready to go to the airport. We packed our belongings in the police cruiser, and we headed off for the airport at 4:00 am. The airport was about half an hour away, and Alice was as perky as ever. Charlie was also very much awake, while I was just sitting there half asleep the entire time. Alice was talking non-stop about our shopping trip yester day with Charlie and how she wanted the room to be a pretty color even though it had white walls. Charlie gave me a 'I can't believe she can be this awake' look while Alice was talking. After he gave me that look he turned back to me and gave me a mischievous smile. I gave him a questionable look and then he spoke up.

"So Bella, when did you finally stop playing the whole 'I'm not going' with Alice?" Before I could scold him for reveling my little game, Alice started talking.

"Oh she finally told me yesterday, if she didn't I would have shopped for the both of us,"

"Wait… I could have gotten out of shopping! And wait a minute… Alice knew it all along!" The look of anger on my face must have looked really stupid from me being so tired, because both started laughing. Alice was the first to stop laughing and she finally said something.

"Bella, I'm not that stupid! Why would I still be begging you the day before we go there? Geese, plain tickets don't materialize when you suddenly decide to go somewhere, the day before!" she had gotten herself into another giggle fit with Charlie.

"She's right you know," Charlie said. I sighed; I should've known that.

We had gotten to the airport. Charlie parked and we said our goodbyes since he couldn't come into the airport with us. Thank goodness our goodbyes were quick and he made me promise to come back during winter break. If my mother would have dropped me off at the airport there would have been crying and her practically begging the security to let her come into the airport with us, so I was glad that Charlie didn't tell her when I was leaving. I swear she would've driven all the way up here to say goodbye, even though I barely see her now.

Alice and I went to get our tickets, and found that she sat 4 rows ahead of me. That's why I like airlines that don't assign seats. Unfortunately we would have to sit in the same spots for over 13 hours. Ok, that's a lie. We are actually stopping in Minneapolis, MN for an hour, but then we have to go back and sit in the same seats.

We didn't run into many problems at the airport. One of Alice's bag weighed one pound over fifty so she would have to pay 40 dollars more to bring it on, Alice and I only brought 100 dollars in cash with us, because I didn't want Alice shopping at the airport. Alice argued that it was only one pound and the lady who told her to pay got mad. Alice refused to pay for it, instead she demanded her lightest luggage back. She opened both suitcases and rearranged stuff so they both were under 50 pounds.

Other than that everything went smoothly and we even had time to grab a quick breakfast from McDonald's. I ordered a coffee and Alice did the same. We went to terminal 9 and waited sleepily (well at least I did) for a half an hour before we got on the airplane. I noticed some boys in uniforms that were from our school. There were three guys and one girl. One guy was huge with dark brown hair. He was jokingly punching another boy in the arm who was muscular, but not even close to how huge the other guy was. This guy had blonde hair, and looked very annoyed. The girl, had blonde hair, and was absolutely gorgeous. She wasn't wearing a uniform, but sweats and an old pink t-shirt. Only she could pull that off. She was slapping the big guy in the head for goofing off. The other boy, was faced away from me. He was looking out of the window, it was raining. He had bronze hair, and was obviously ignoring the 'fight' that was going on with the others. He was also wearing a uniform from the looks of it.
