Oh great another school thought Bella as she drove into the forks high school parking lot in her Maserati spider. I don't know how this one is going to be any better than the last one. From what I've heard from my friend Jake this place is even more homophobic than the school in Texas that I went to last year. As I went up the stairs I saw something that broke my heart this beautiful pixie like girl was being bulled by two of the varsity basketball players. I have a thing against bullies probably because I was bulled so much as a kid.

I should probably tell you now I am a lesbian. I am extremely well built for a girl and I am 5'11. As I walked up to the girls I heard one of them 'say hurry up Rosalie we don't have time for this." Rosalie snarls back with the added comment "Jessica shut your mouth and just make sure there isn't a teacher coming up behind me." As she goes to punch this girl I step in and take her punch directly in the shoulder. "What do you want," snarls Rosalie well first I don't like preppy bitches and their attitudes so that really pissed me off. This girl is at least six inches smaller than me and at least 6 inches taller than the other girl.

I respond "first I want you to apologize to this girl by name." "Like shit I will," responds Rosalie and she swings at me. I grab her hand and just start crushing her hand in my grip. "OW you are hurting me," cried Rosalie. "Apologize now," I growled. "I'm sorry," she says desperately. No apologize to her by name and mean it or so help me I will, and I start slowly twisting my hand and you can hear her knuckles popping. "Wait wait" she cry's desperately "I am so sorry Alice," She sobbed and I released her hand. Rosalie and Jessica ran to their class.

I bent down to Alice and offered her my hand to help her back up. "What was that about I ask her worriedly." "Does that happen a lot." alice say's "its nothing and asked if I needed help finding my way around because she hasn't seen me around before." I realized that I had already fallen completely for this girl. Swan don't do this again you'll just end up hurt because she thinks you are a disgusting freak. It's just better for you to be friends. "Thank you," I tell her when she shows me to the office.

"Mis swan we've been expecting you the principle says". "My name is aro volturi and I am the junior principle." "My brother's Marcus and causis are the other two principles." We have already heard something from two of the varsity basketball players about you." Jessica and Rosalie I thought. "I have some personal problems with bullies and I saw mis Cullen and mis Stanly bulling one of the other students so I stepped in because no one else will."

"Okay ill give u a warning this time but next time it will be after school detention." "Okay mr. volturi can we work something out now because if I see someone getting bullied im going to step in so how about when ever we have this conversation ill come up here on the weekends and clean the student parking lot." "Are you planning to have to do this a lot mis swan Mr. volturi asked skeptically?"

"Sir I've already told you I don't like seeing people bulled so if I see it I will step in." "okay that is all mis swan here is your schedule." So I went to biology and of Couse with the way my luck is Alice is in the same class as me.

And even better the onlydesk available in the room would be at her table. When I set down she said "I don't think we actually got to meet earlier my name is Alice Brandon." My name is bella swan. Alice "I began "why were they bulling you." She replied "im not really comfortable talking about it yet" We were talking about nonessential things.

Some how the conversation came up to my love life she asked, "if I had a boyfriend back home or something like that." I told her that I've never had a boyfriend. "Not like I've had a lot of girlfriends either but I think to my self." And I asked her and Alice replies. "No she's never had a boyfriend ever either." I told her that there is a nice guy out there waiting for her.

"It broke my heart to say that but I knew that she needed me to say that for her." If anything her face looked sadder when I told her that. During lunch I was leaving the cafeteria when I saw Rosalie and her pep squad converging on Alice.

How hard it is to clean gum off an asphalt I wondered ideally as I started towards them. as I walked up to them I heard Rosalie say harshly "you don't have your girlfriend here this time you little freak." Ohh that's it oh she is so going to regret saying that I thought viciously. As Jessica and Lauren came up behind Alice and grabbed her Rosalie started to swing but her arm missed her target because suddenly she wasn't on her feet anymore.

As I drew back my arm I told Jessica and Lauren that they might want to let Alice go. As Rosalie got back to her feet I said "I thought you might try something like this I don't care what your problem with alice is you will not touch her anymore, and no from what you said earlier I am not her girlfriend im just someone who doesn't like bullies."

"I suggest that if you want to play basketball this year with both arms then you will never touch her again." And her and her pep squad ran off I heard her say, "you'll regret this swan." As I helped Alice to her feet I saw that she was crying. What's wrong I asked her did they hurt you before I got here. No Alice sobbed, "I am fine "Then why are you crying,"

I ask her worriedly?" "Because" alice "I had hoped to at least be your friend before I told you so that you wouldn't think me as a freak because I am a lesbian." Ohh I thought that's what your worried about. "Don't worry about that," I tell her im not homophobic like everyone else in this god-forsaken town.

I wasn't sure yet but I didn't think that now is the time to tell her. Alice say's does that mean you still want to be my friend. Of course I do but after you here what the principle has to say I don't think you want to be hanging around with a delinquent. Alice replies to "me you don't look like a delinquent you are the nicest person that I have ever met. Bella replies " Oh it's not like I am but apparently this school is like pro bully or something." I made a deal with the principle that if I was in his office for stopping a bully then I would just clean the parking lot that weekend to keep It off record.

Alice was like thank you but don't stick up for me again okay I don't want you to have to clean and work just because you want to stick up for me. Alice I say it's just not for you its for everyone at this school that's being bullied, and then I have whisper and for me. She's like what do you mean for you.

Damn I guess that wasn't quite enough. I'd rather not talk about it just yet. So it turns out she is in all of my classes. Im just glad that im not the only horrible sports player in gym with me. I mean with the way I look you would think that I would be like varsity in every thing but no it's not to be. When she asked where I lived I told her I was staying in a hotel in till I could find a job to get an apartment. Alice "was like you could stay with me." Bella responded " I couldn't ask you to do that. She's like it's just me at the house right now because my parents are on a trip around the world at the moment. Please it will be fun.

How stubborn can this little 5-nothing girl be? Finally I told her that I would stay with her if she contacted her parents and made sure it was okay with them. So she pulls out her phone and calls them. She asks if I can stay with her at least in till I get an apartment and her parents ask to talk to me.

When I got on the phone I heard a slightly masculine female voice come to the phone. Hello this is victoria am I right to think that you are the bella Alice want's to stay with her. "Yes mam that would be me" bella responds." Victoria continues

"well I don't have a problem with it that house is so big only have one person in it." "I have to tell you though Alice is a little different then most girls." "Ohh you don't have to worry about that I assure her im not homophobic like most people in this town."

Victoria says " that is a relief just let me ask my wife esme if it is all right." Esme gets on the phone and say's "sure but you don't have to be in a hurry plus the only apartments that town has are not worth letting the homeless stay in." "Most of them are in poor condition or the air or heat doesn't work what so ever." "Why don' you just stay with Alice in till we get back at the end of august."

"You guys are going to be gone for the next year I asked a little worriedly." "Yea" esme replied, "we asked Alice If she wanted to get homeschooled and come with us but she wanted to finish her school career in forks." "Okay well we have to go now you girls behave yourselves." I heard victoria giggling in the background.

"It's not like that," I told them but I accidently let slip out yet. "What do you mean yet" esme asks. "I haven't told Alice yet but I am a lesbian to, and I don't want her to be like hey you and me are the only ones in town lets be together."

"If we do get together I want it to be because we fall in love. Bella rushes to finish. "Knowing this now I can see if you'd like to withdraw the invitation to let me stay in your home." "Nonsense," esme say's "we've waited so long for Alice to find someone and yes it is a little weird to think about it."

"I do have something to say if you and Alice end up together don't have sex in our room or the living room everywhere else is fair game." Wow okay this conversation is weird now im going to get off of here" bella says. Alice and me jump in our cars and she has a Lamborghini Diablo I was like we are so gonna have to race. Alice say's "We've got to take it slow in town when she say's see's me car."

We just go up to her house since I haven't checked into my hotel yet she stop's for a second and writes her number down on a pieces of paper and says "when you get in you car put this in your phone." I jump in and put her number under Alice. I follow her out of town and we stop at a stop sign my phone rings and its her so I answer it she say's "there are never any cops out here so try to keep up if you get lost call me and ill turn around and come back for you."

Good luck losing me princess I think as I pull up next to her. And we start it was a pretty fair race to be honest. I get in front of her and hold the lead for about 2 miles she starts slowing down and so do I. I hope this isn't a trick I think as I pull over to the curb. She pulls up beside me and says "good job you won." "I was like what is my prize." "alice replies "I'll show you when we get there." we turn off on a private road. About two miles down the road I notice that it opens up into a clearing in the middle of the clearing was the most amazing house I had ever seen.

The front and other 2 wall's where a gorgeous russet stone and the back was made out of glass on the top and second floor. I see now why they keeps saying that the house was to big for only one person. This house could hold like my whole family and I have like 7
