The Voulturi

Chapt 1

There was this girl, her mothers' sister and she live with her and Deddi was a lovely women. You couldn't say the same for her daughters. The girl had talent. She could really dance and write. She had to cousins that were horrible to her. She had some friends.

There was also this guy who was very famous. He was coming to her school to be 'normal' and his ex-girlfriend went to school there too. She and her friend Valerie are very pretty but they are very shy. She did very well in school.

"Hey Val" She had pulled up to the front of the house that she lived in with her family. She got in the car.

"Did you hear? JB is coming to our school!"

"It doesn't matter to me. He'll just ignore me like every other guy in the world."

She was driving a Volvo. She started driving. I was wearing my usual. Jeans, boots and a t- shirt. We went in. Everyone was at the door waiting for him. They were such idiots. Not that I didn't like him it was stupid.

"Come on before we get trampled over" Val said. We were such tom boys but who the hell cares. I went to my locker and I heard screaming. I jumped. I hated loud and sudden noises. He had arrived. Why where they making such a big deal obviously he did not want that. If he wanted to be famous, why couldn't he do it somewhere else?

"So can you help me with geometry tonight?" I was putting in my combo.

"Well I guess. I have to go to dance though. I'll be back by six. How about your house at 6:30."

"Okay. Did you already finish it?" I started to take stuff out and put stuff back.

"Yes" I closed my locker. I wasn't looking and I walked into someone. Oh my god it was Jake. I knocked all my and his stuff to the ground.

"Ow. I am so sorry. I wasn't paying attention." I kneel down to pick our stuff up.

"It's okay" I pick up his and gave him his books.

"Here. Bye" I walked away pulling Val with me. She was in a daze.

"Come on. We're going to be late" She ran with me to class we got there two seconds early. We sat down in our usual seats. I got my stuff out of my bag. After our morning classes we sat at our usual table with Angela, Torie, Val, Alexis, the other Torie Alex and me.

"Hey. We have to do our project on..." Ang said. I cut her off.

"I already finished my part I just need you to edit it and do the drawing." She was a really good at drawing.

"So have you had any acceptances yet?"

"Yeah. I want to go to Yale but I haven't gotten any word yet."

"Have you got any full scholarships?"

"Yeah a few."

"Come on your giving me nothing here."

"Um. Full scholarships for Harvard and Princeton"

"You could go ivy league. You're not excited. Why not?"

"I'm just going to miss you guys so much."

"We'll keep in touch."

"But I'll still miss you. But I am going to miss Deddi but I sure as hell am not going to miss Rose and Rochelle. But we can't have it all. I they were nice until they became cheerleaders." We laughed. I put my hair into a pony tail.

"Why didn't you try out to be a cheerleader?"

"I just didn't want to. I have no interest in wearing short skirts and jumping up and down. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against them but it's just not me."

"What ever you say."

"How's Taylor?" Taylor was my ex-boyfriend but we were really good friends now.

"He's good he says he just made the football team and he is doing okay in school." The bell rang and I had PE next. I grabbed Alexis and Ang and we left. I waved.

I got changed into my sneakers and my PE uniform. He was in my class. We were doing the rope too. We had to climb to the top. She would call names and you would try to get as far as possible. She started calling names. I was waiting and the she called my name. I had not shown a very high level of fitness until 2 years ago which was the last time we did this. Some of the boys where laughing. I got up to the rope chalked up and climbed. I pulled myself up. The laughs turned into in gasps as climbed higher and higher next thing I knew I was at the top. Which no one else had done. I climbed down. I sat back down I had barely broke a sweat. All my friends could get to the top too. We all vowed to get fit after that incident..

"We showed then huh." I gave them each high fives.

"Yeah" We got dressed and I waited for Val at the car. The masquerade party as 3 nights away. I wasn't planning on going. Val arrived and drove me to dance class. I heard Mr. Brandon coming. JB was there. He smile at me I blushed. There were only 4 girls in the class it was a huge studio. We stood at the wall.

"Okay so this is my friend Jake. He is going to be teaching today's lesson. But lets get warmed up first." We all sat on the floor. We went into straddles with our arms forward. When we were done he sat down.

"Every one get a hat." We all went to go get a hat and we put them on and he started dancing. We all copied. He had a whole dance.

"Okay now put your own spin on it. Okay let's see what you have so far. Who wants to go first?" Torie put her hand up. She did hers and we clapped I was last. I did mine. Mine was different then the others.

"Very good. Okay thanks. Jake it was a pleasure having you." He left and I went to get changed then left for Val's house. We finished our homework in like ten minutes.

"So do you wanna go dress shopping tomorrow?"

"I do not want to go. Remember what happened last time. We were just sitting around."

"Come on it'll be fun."

"Okay but one thing. You have to promise that if I have to wear heals and a dress you do too."

"Fine"

The next day in town at dress store.

"I like this one." It was a dress that went to the floor it was electric blue.

"Try it on." It fit perfect. It hugged my body until the hips and then it went out. It was.

The next day after school. I was at Val's getting ready but I had to be home at 12:00 because that was my curfew which sucked but whatever. I was dressed and so was Angela, Torie, Val, Alexis, and the other Torie. So we're on our way taking Val's Volvo. We were there in 10 minutes.

We walked in. I was wearing a mask like we were supposed to. I sat down. Then ten minutes later I was thirsty. I went to get some punch. I got up. and walked over to the get a drink. I got a cup then poured some punch in it. I walked over to my friends I realized that both Tories had been asked to dance. I looked down and someone came up to us.

"Do want to dance?"

"Um. I guess. One sec." I went over to the DJ and asked him to play a specific song.

It was JB. The song I requested was for ballroom dancing. We danced like I dance the waltz everyone was staring.

"So what is your name?"

"That would defeat the purpose of the mask."

"But I have seen you before haven't I?"

"Well I do know who you are. But I guess you have met me before."

"Who am I then?"

"Jake. It's obvious. You would have to be exceptionally unobservant to not notice."

"So why don't you tell me who you are?"

"Okay if you remember where the 3 places we have seen each other before I'll give you 5 guesses." Yes that would do.

"Okay I have seen you at school before."

"Well that is obvious. Be more specific."

"Okay my first day I bumped into you in the hall way."

"I am not going to answer until you guess all three. You have to get them all right or I'm not saying."

"Okay at cheerleading practice and um in my geography class."

"Nope. That's one."

"In my gym class in the cafeteria I sat next to you and I saw you in my history class."

"Nope that's 2."

"How about in my Spanish class, in Gym and my Geography class?"

"Nope that's 3."

"Okay. In my algebra class, in chemistry, and I bumped into you on your first day?" I shook my head.

"Nope"

"I have seen you at the dance thing for Mr. Brandon, I have seen you in gym and I bumped into you at on my first day at your locker." We kept dancing.

"Oh my god is that the time I have to go." It was 11:30 I ran over to the D.J.

"Can I have my Ipod back?" He was taking a long time.

"Any day now." He was fumbling with the cords. Then he finally got it and he gave me the Ipod. I then ran into a girl. I dropped my Ipod damn. I sprinted to the car it was 11:50 I got home right on time.

"I'm sorry Deddi and I'm late."

"It's okay come have dinner and you can wait till the morning to do the chores." I went in eat dinner. Then took a shower and went to bed. I woke up the next morning and I did all my chores then changed into my usual clothes. Val pulled up.

"Hey what's up?"

"Nothing." I got in and were at school in two minutes. I got out I went to my locker and I walked to my bio class. Then I hear...

"Well if you were at the dance last night and you were dancing with Janey then I have your ipod. I'll give it to you if you name the 3 most played songs." Then I heard everyone in the class get really excited. By the end of class everyone was talking about the mystery girl. I waked past a table and there were like 70 girls lined up for Jake. I knew that if I told him he would be disappointed so I would never tell him. I walked with Val and Bella to the parking lot. I was looking at the work that she did. I bumped into someone. I fell over. I blushed bright red.

"I'm sorry. I'm such a klutz." I grabbed everything off the ground. I looked up it was Jake Lancaster. (He's a different Jake)

"It's okay. " He smiled .I looked away.

"Here. I made sure they were in the order. I hit them on my knee."

"Thanks."

"I'm.." I cut him off.

"Your Jake. I have known you since kindergarten." I walked away. He was still smiling at me. I walked away with Val. Torie walked to her car. He was such a fucking ass.

"I think he likes you."

"He's asshole. Remember he used to tease Lilly because of her braces." She dropped it. I got to the car and got in.

"Are you going to tell him?"

"Tell him what?"

"Tell Jake it's you."

"No. He'll be disappointed if he knew it's was me."

"I don't think so. Do you think he'll figure it out?"

"I hope not."

"Come on" We got in. She drove me to practice.

"Thanks for the ride." I got out. I went in and prayed that he would not be here this time.

"Hello girls guess who is here?" It was a rectorial question so I didn't answer.

We did the lesson he seemed too distracted to noise any of us. I had cleaned up my routine. Since last time. He looked impressed. One part of me was glad than he hasn't figured it out and the other is upset that he doesn't remember. I was about to leave. He stopped me.

"You and your friends where talking to her who is she?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

"You know the girl I danced with at the masquerade party."

"I can't say. Bye." I walked away swiftly. The I broke into a run. I was there in two minutes. I went to my room. I did my home work then I practiced my routine.

"Bella"

"Yes."

"Can you make dinner? Jake is coming over to discuss some business."

"Of course."

"Well. Whatever it is. I bet it will be delicious." I went down to the kitchen. I was making lamb and rice with a cream sauce. I started cooking. I loved to cook I just put the lamb in the oven and I was making apple pie for dessert. I made some salad for me. I was a vegetarian.

"Deddi would you like apple pie?"

"That is fine." I had already made the dough this morning so I just finish making the pie. I sat in the kitchen leaving the rolled out crust on the counter. I just got a text.

Tell him. -Ali

I can't Ale

Why not? - Ali

I just don't want to Ali.

Whatever. Whatcha doing?

I'm making dinner for the family and JB.

He's coming over? You should tell him. I looked in the oven. The lamb was finished. I got it out and put it in the warmer to keep from getting cold.

No. Now stop nagging me. Whatcha ya doing Ali?

I'm on Facebook. Talking to Val. -Ali

Oh really how is she. The pie was done. I heard the door bell ring I was presentable. I went to get it. Deddi was in the back room. I told her they were here. I went back to the door and opened it.

"They are here." She got the twins. While I answered the door.

"Hello come on in." It was JB and a woman, a man and his agent.

"You can sit down if you like." I went into the kitchen to get dinner ready. I set the table. I sat down in the living room waiting for Rose and Rochelle. They descended the stairs and so did Deddi.

They all follow into the living room. I went to the kitchen. I got the food and set it out on the table. I sat down. I did not speak.

"So you have 3 daughters?"

"No. This is my niece."

"How did she end up here?"

"I lost my mother and my father and she took me in." I told them. I was eternally grateful for this fact.

"Who cooked?"

"I did" I said

"It's delicious" I nodded. I knew how to cook because that's what I like to watch on T.V.

"Thank you" Then they started to talk business. They were all finished. I stood and I got each plate brought them to the kitchen. I got the pie and put a slice on each plate. I brought two at a time to the table. Then I sat down. I started eating my pie. Every one else did the same. They continue talking. I zoned out. I sat there thinking about my applications for college. I then I realized everyone was finished. I got up and took in all the plates and forks into the kitchen. Then I went to sit in the living room waiting impatiently for the dinner thing to be over. I wanted to finish my homework. I was going through things in my head. When I heard...

"What's your name?" I put my eyes back into focus and looked from where the sound was coming from. It was Jake.

"Bella"

"So I go to school with you huh?"

"Yup"

"So. Why won't you tell me who it was?"

"I promised her I wouldn't." That was true.

"Oh" I looked away. He probably lost his interest by now. Then I went back to my thought. I had the money from my parents to pay for my dorm and books and to keep me afloat till I got a job. I didn't need any loans. I also had my parents life insurance money. I also had the money they left me. I looked around. They were saying there goodbyes. I did the same.

"It was nice meeting you all." I shook each of there hands and they left. I went to my room. I did my homework then went to bed. I woke up the next morning it was Friday. I was in a good mood. I got dressed. I went downstairs. Made breakfast and had a apple. Then I pulled out my computer and started writing. I was writing I looked at the time. It was time to leave. I put my computer away. I went out the front door. Val was just getting there.

We get to school. I went to my locker.

"Hey have you got any more acceptances yet?" I heard Torie say.

"No the last of them should come coming tomorrow."

"Oh miss smarty pants how's the essay on the history of Japan?"

"Finished why?"

"It's due in two weeks."

"I was working on it last night."

"Oh really" I nodded.

"You'll never guess who was at our house last night."

"Who?"

"Jake. He was having this dinner thing with Deddi. I was mostly zoned out the whole time. You know how I am, don't really pay attention. Then it takes me a few minutes to focus again."

"Did you talk to him?"

"Kind of I.." Jake was walking passed. We all giggled. He looked over at us and he fell over. I got up. I gave him a hand. He took it.

"Are you okay?" He got up. I picked his stuff up off the ground. I gave it to him.

"Yup" He looked embarrassed.

"It's okay I fall over like at least once a day." He smiled.

"Bye" I walked away. I sat back down.

"I think he likes you."

"No he does not. Anyway he likes the 'mystery girl'."

"But you are the mystery girl." She whispered in my ear.

"He doesn't know that. Come on." I got up Alexis and Ang. We left for chemistry.

"Class today we will be working on the attraction between female and male. So I have a sheet with your partner. Each group give a presentation. I expect it in by Tuesday." He called out names. I had Jake. He said to start planning.

"Do you want me to do all the work or would you like to help?" I was used to having slackers.

"I'll help" I explained my idea to him.

" … What do you think?"

"That's a good idea."

"Okay. I'll write half and you write half. Send me an outline of what you'll write about so we don't have the same thing okay. Then you'll check mine and I'll check yours. I'll put it together and work into a presentation." He nodded. I got my computer out and start my research. By the end of class. I had finished my research and my outline. I sent it to him. I put my computer away. I went to lunch. I got some salad.

"Hey."

"How's you project coming along"

"Good. Well my half is. I just hope he is not a slacker I hate working last minute. But I could do the whole thing and then I can add his to it when it's finished" I smiled.

"You need to have some fun. Are you going to the twins birthday party? Yours is 4 days later."

"I'll be spending the whole day cooking. I just have this whole thing. I have to get good grade because I need a full scholarship."

"Okay we'll have a fun sleep over my house your birthday."

"I have to ask Deddi first."

"Okay. We'll have lot of fun. The twins birthday is tomorrow right?"

"Yeah but I have to do my paper. I guess I'll have it done by tonight. If I really

focus. Can you come over and help. I know it's a lot to ask but I don't think I'll be able to finish."

"Yeah I'm in." Val said

"I'm in" Torie said

"I'm in " Alexis chimes

"Me two" Ang said

"I'm in" Torie said.

"Okay be at my house 8:00. That'll give us plenty o time." We went to gym. Then I went home.

"Rosalie, Rochelle what do you want us to make for your party?"

"You tried to tell Jake. So we are going to whip out our secret weapon." They ran down the stairs and dropped the list in my hand. I went to the supper market to buy the food. Then when I got back I put it all in the fridge. I then finished my project. Then I went to bed. I woke up at six, ran downstairs and started cooking. I was just starting to make the appetizer when the door bell rang it was the cake.

"Hello"

"Hi. Do you mind bringing it in." He followed me to the living room and...

"Here would be good thanks." He left. I finished the appetizer. I heard the doorbell ring.

"Hey guys" They were here I probably looked like a mess. We cooked for an hour then we were finished. We went to get dressed. People started coming. I got up and I ran downstairs. I turned on the music. I went to get the door.

"Come in" They did as I said and guest after guest arrived. Me a my friends were sitting down. It was a casino party and we were the dealers. We had volunteered because it was fun. I started my table I was playing 21. I explained the game to each play player. If you came up to the table would give you chips and you would play.

"Hello" Jake. God was he following me.

"Hello" I gave him some chips.

"So basically. You win by getting 21 and if you go over then you loose. Who ever is the closest wins. You bet when you think you win." I took out one of each card " The king, queen, jack and ten are all worth ten and the rest are worth number they are. For example five is five. But the ace is worth 11 or 1. Got it." He nodded there were 10 other people sitting there.

It went on like this for a while. Natasha yelled down from the stairs. They said they had some entertainment. I looked over at the screen it was me when I was 11.

"I love you Jake." It was when I just lost my parents and I was in a bad place. Then I started to do dance. He was my idol back then. I started dance in the video like a chicken I might add. People were laughing. I was crying. I tried to keep it quiet but Jake saw the tears fall.

"Oh my good, is that you?" Jake said. I ran to my room. I took off the button down that was on top of my dress. I hadn't told him. I got up I ran downstairs. . I grabbed Jake so we could talk alone. He looked surprised.

"It was me that you danced with at the masquerade ball. It was me."

"Oh really then.."

"Firework by Katy Perry. Fireflies and Like a G6." He went in his pocket and gave me the Ipod.

"You broke your promise." He smiled.

"She gave me permission." I smiled back. Then said good night. I went to bed. I woke up. I heard the door bell ring it was Jake.

"Hi" I smiled.

"Hi" He smiled back.

"So how is the paper going?"

"I finished it the night we got the assignment."

"Wow. Do you want to hang out today?"

"Sure"

" Um. What can we do it's raining?"

"Deddi. I'm going out."

"So where are we doing."

"Come on" I pulled him with me as I ran to the park. I was wearing my short shorts and my black t-shirt. We got to the park and we went to the swings.

"You always have to let your inner kid out."

"Yeah. I guess." I started swinging.

"What is it like being a rock star?"

"Your parents are not even your parents anymore. They're like my agent. I can't have fun without at least 10 people following me. Every issue I have is public. I never have a day without someone asking for an autograph. But there is nothing like getting on stage and performing."
