Bella's Point Of View
Boarding school...
Sounded like hell. Jeezes, I didn't even want to go... I only did it for Renee, since she wanted to move in with her new husband, Phil Dwyers. I was already comfortable living with Renee for some time, but Phil and her wanted to spend time together; and I wasn't going to deny that of them.
My real, biological father was dead. He died of a heart attack two years ago. I grieved for a bit, for the memories of spending a summer every year where he lived, rainy, colorless Forks. That was the reason my mom'd left him and Forks with me. But I never really knew him that well.
"Bella," my mom, Renee said, "you ready for boarding school?" I was going to the Meritus Boarding School, in some town in Washington, D.C. I'd gotten a partial scholarship to that place. I heard it was pretty amazing.
"Yeah, mom, sure," I said, giving her a hug before I left on the plane to Washington. "I love you."
"You too, sweetie." She returned the hug. I gave Phil a quick hug before waving to them and disappearing into the crowds lining up to get on the airplane.
Five hours later, I arrived at Washington, finally. I got off the plane and out the airport, and got into a bus to the town I was staying at. Its name was Willowe [1].
"Ticket for the bus ride, please." It was the bus driver. I handed him the ticket and murmured "thanks".
I found a seat and sat down, looking at the brochure I took at the airport, about Willowe. The photos were of a small-sized city. It was like a town, except more full of huge shopping malls and tall glass buildings. I look over at another brochure, it was of the school I was going to.
Wow. It was a combination of huge, brick buildings, with full floor-to-ceiling windows. It looked like a modern-day castle. Inside, the classrooms were beautiful. The tables had glass countertops and the chairs were the kind you saw at those expensive furniture stores.
The dorms? One room housed two people. There was a girls' dorm and guys' dorm. There was two expensive single beds in the middle of the room and two glass desks that held two iMacs. There were two pools outside the dorms. They were crystal-clear and a beautiful shade of aqua. There was a fountain in the middle of it. Oh, WOW.
The bus stopped and I stepped out, carrying my suitcase and two heavy book bags. I was at Willowe already. It was mid-afternoon. It was a glassy, glossy city. But not big. It was actually very small. The height of buildings only provided the illusions of a big city. I walked around , then I took the bus to Meritus. After about half an hour, I was there. I tripped over a rock on my way out of the bus and my T-shirt was wet because I'd fell into a mud puddle, and my jeans were dirty. I looked hardly presentable for "the scholarship kid".
In front of me was exactly what I saw in the brochure, but better. I was in awe. I slipped into the school, and saw that no one was around. Maybe I was really late. But no, school started the next day. Maybe everyone was already inside.
"Hello. You look lost. Need help?" It was a heavenly, godly voice. It was seductive and sexy. Who was it?
I turned to see a gorgeous, pale-skinned boy, pretty tall and had bronze, unkempt hair that made him look sexy. He also had the greenest eyes I'd ever seen on anyone. He was smiling.
"Who are... you?"
