This as an All human story Just so you know!

"Alice do we really have to go" I groaned leaning out of my bathroom

" Of Course! We are going end of story! Besides Mikey will be so sad if you don't show up!" Alice chuckled as she began rummaging through what was left in my closet after my first round of packing.

Alice and I had been best friends since we were 7 and we met on the playground at Forks Elementary during one of the many visits to my dad during the summer. We have been inseperable since. We were moving together in 2 weeks to California to prepare for college. Alice was studying Fashion design and marketing and I English Lit. We would be attending UCLA in the fall but we decided that we should head out to get settled in to our apartment before classes started.

"Mike Newton can go suck a pickle" I retorted at her

"Oh Bells, give the kid a break!"

"You know, if he had paid half as much attention to school as he did to me he would be the damn valedictorian"

"That is true! Oh my gosh Bella what do you have in here to wear? Do you think that you are going to a party with me like that?"

"What I am going to change my shirt. Its not like these people don't see me everyday like this" I complained waving my hands in front of me

"ugghhh, Well at least put this shirt on it will look good with jeans and flats"

"I love you Ali!"

I sunk deeper into the black leather of Alice's overly flashy Porsche that she received for graduation. Alice's parents, Dr. Carlisle Cullen and Esme Cullen are like second parents to me . Carlisle is the chief surgeon at Forks Memorial Hospital and Esme owns a interior design company in Seattle. Their son Emmett is already at UCLA on a football scholarship.

We were on our way to the end of year blowout that Mike Newton hosted every year at his parents house by the river. He hosted this every year after his brother Kyle gradated our freshman year but this year was different. It is our senior year and there are no holds barred. Like most parents around here Lisa and Jeff Newton turned a blind eye to the 3 Kegs, beep pong table, coolers full of various liquor and the under age kids that now filled their back yard. I knew better than to drink at these types of things. My dad Charlie Swan, Chief of Police for the booming metropolis of Forks, Washington knew of the hordes of alcohol that was about to be consumed and would be watching the roads like a hawk tonight. A DUI 2 weeks before moving out would not be a wise choice. Alice on the other hand was a regular porcelain worshiper!

" Bells! Can I get you something to drink? I'm so glad you came!" Mike Newton called as we entered the back yard

"No thanks Mike! I am Alice's DD for the night." I replied giving Alice a look that said 'go ahead but you owe me and you better not abandon me with Newton all night' She responded with a thankful smirk and bounced off to the liquor table.

"So Bells, are you ready for graduation?" Mike asked despite my attempts to loose him as I ducked through the thickening crowd

"Yeah I'm ready to get the hell out of Washington and get some freaking sun for a change!"

"I know what you mean! I can't be happier that I was given the scholarship to the University of Kentucky for basketball! I mean playing under Tubby Smith that is an honor! I mean he has led the Cats to 10 SEC titles, 6 Sweet Sixteen wins and 4 Elite Eight titles"

"Yeah I am really happy for you! I think you will do great at UK!"

I'm just glad that you will be in Kentucky! Like I know what the hell you are talking about anyway!

"Thanks Bells! So when are you leaving for LA?

"2 weeks Alice and I are going to move in early and get acquainted it the city" I replied. Mike's smile falling a little at the realization that I really was going and that he had lost his chance with me.

"I will miss you Bella." Mike confessed as he stepped toward me looking like he wanted to get all gushy with me

I turned just in time to see Alice throw back a Jager bomb and wave to me

"I gotta go Mike, Alice is waving for me" I said as I side stepped the embrace

"Um, yeah. Cool. Later Bells."

I made my way over to Alice without a second glance back to Mike, who I knew was watching me walk away

"I don't care how drunk you get but you better not leave me with Newton and I am NOT helping you clean vomit out of the Porsche again"

"Oh, Bells he is just a smitten kitten. And that was one time and I had just got the damn thing my parents would have killed me."

"Well, he needs to go meow up a different tree. Maybe he will meet some big boobed blonde bimbo cheerleader in Kentucky and leave me the hell alone!"

"Oh come on you need to loosen up some! Let's go dance!" Alice bounced up and down like a frigging Jack Russell on crack, which of course made me smile as I let her lead me to the mass of people that were the unofficial dance floor.

Alice and I danced off and on for the rest of the evening as she continued to down random drinks that were brought to her by her numerous admirers and friends. Alice had always had plenty of boys that had goo goo eyes for her but she always refused. Well except that one time at Lauren Mallory's homecoming party junior year. But other than that Alice was as chaste as a nun, Except this nun wore a short black leather mini and made the boys follow her around like a T-bone steak in the after 2 weeks of nothing to eat. But you know other than that minor fact, she was a saint!

After Alice had had enough liquor to make a biker stumble, I convinced her that it was time to go home. After getting her settled in to the Porsche, I made my way back to our house. My dad taught me how to drive a 5 speed when I was 16 just in case of an emergency. I doubt that dragging my nearly alcohol comatose best friend back to her house in her brand new Porsche was not the emergency that he had in mind at the time.

Alice woke the next morning with a hangover but still the amazingly chipper pixie that she always is. We continued packing and began shopping for furniture for the apartment. Of course Esme will be has been a tremendous help with that, getting us discounts on everything through her design business. Our apartment would be one of the chicest of any freshman at UCLA.

The 2 weeks passed with a blur. The next thing that I knew I was hugging my dad in the front yard promising that I would call and come visit every chance that I could. My Old truck was loaded down with what was left of my stuff. As I turned on to 101, I glanced out of my rear view mirror and caught one last look at the green and wet. I sighed deep and turned my eyes to the road

"It's now or never, Bella" I sighed to myself rolling down the window and taking one last deep breath of the rain.
