So I'm sorry that it has taken a year to update. Truly, I am. But I had lost all love and passion for this story. So here it is, again. Because a year ago, my writing style was shit, so now it's better. And a little insight, I actually couldn't read this story without crying about how atrocious it was. So please read and review and I will try to update as soon as possible.
Well here I was again, the first day back, one of the best schools in America, and I was already in trouble. Things never change, I mean, come on, it wasn't even that bad this time. So on the last day of school last year I was drunk and went skinny dipping in the pool in front of a heap of people, I was celebrating! But with my track record they would expect it, but no. So I was here, outside the principal's office waiting for the three weeks detention that was now the long standing tradition Mr. Wilson and I had.
I ran my hand through my wayward bronze hair as Mrs. Ashden waved me in to see my dear friend Mr. Wilson, principle of this fine establishment. I looked around the room, only noticing a girl in the room with her father by her side. "He will only be a few moments, Sir. Can I get you a coffee?" said Mrs. Ashden. The tall man with brown hair refused with a grunt. I turned my back to them without any further glance. Mrs. Ashden waved me in to see Mr. Wilson. "I'll have a coffee if it's not too much trouble, Judy." I said.
"Edward, in you go." She sighed with frustration. I gave a smirk and proceeded to knocked on the ostentatious wooden door.
"Come in Mr. Cullen." I walked into his office like I owned the place and plonked down in the principle's chair as he was looking out the window over the car park, watching the student body be dropped off by their parents and then lug their belongings of to their various dorm rooms.
"I am guessing that you know why you are here. And I want to cut this conversation right to the end, past all the bickering we usually encounter in this tete-a-tete." he said, starting to turn around.
"You can show a new student around and show them - get out of my chair Edward," I did so, but then sat on his desk. He threw his hands up in the air in defeat, I cracked a smile and he went on.
"As I was saying, you can show her around, get her settled in and be nice to her."
By this point, I thought he was an idiot. "But sir, I don't want to." No, I wasn't above whining.
"No buts, Cullen. Do you think I enjoy people coming to me and telling me that a red headed boy is swimming naked in the pool, drunk?" He seemed to pop a blood vessel, "Well do you?"
"First of all, it's called skinny dipping and secondly, I would have thought that you would want to show off one of the best assets to this school. And finally, I don't have red hair, it's not brown either, it's bronze. Ok? You would so make a horrid art teacher, by the way!" Boy, he can go red, I thought. Finally his colour turned back to its usual shade of mid-fifties pinkish red. He took a deep breath and said, "Go outside, there is meant to be a Miss Swan in the waiting room. She is a new student and you will show her around. You will not complain because this is not up for discussion. Is that understood?"
"But sir," I tried once more, I didn't associate myself with new people. "Surely you could get a girl to do this."
"No Cullen, she is in dorm room 204. And for your outbreak, three weeks detention. GO." I gave him a rigid straight back pose, raised my hand too my brow and gave a mock salute.
As I walked from the room, Mr. Wilson came out behind me and asked the tall grunting man to follow him in, but he introduced me to the girl I hadn't paid much attention to before leaving. She was pretty. Thick brown hair, white porcelain skin and the most intriguing brown eyes I had ever seen. She also looked utterly bored, pulling a headphone out of her ear, trying to making a faint effort at being polite. Mr. Wilson then introduced us.
"Edward Cullen, this is Isabella Swan. The new student you will be showing around." He put emphasis on the 'will'.
"Bella, I prefer Bella." She said as she flicked her hair from her face.
Bella looked amazing now that she had moved the hair from her face, she had odd sized lips, but that made her all the more appealing. I could hear the faint sounds of her music; 'I'm Not Okay' by My Chemical Romance. The girl had good taste.
"So, like can we get this show on the road, or not." I said. I was totally pissed about this crap arrangement, and I was letting it show.
"Yes Cullen, take Isabella to her dorm, room 404. I take it you know where it is." He spoke in a patronising tone.
"What the hell do you think Sir?" His eye near popped out of its socket, I smiled.
"Mr. Swan, I assure you that this is not the behaviour that is encouraged at this school."
With a look of distain, I took two of Bella's bags, ignoring her protests; I had other things to do, or more importantly, other people to do. I walked towards the dorm blocks, pointing out various things on the way that would make this... situation easier.
We came to the girls boarding hall, Constance Hall. We went through the entry way and walked to the elevator with the stairs next to them. I studiously avoided the elevator and walked up the first flight; I looked down and saw her confused expression, of course, why would any sane person use the stairs. "Are you coming? Or are you planning on sleeping on the benches?" I gestures awkwardly with my elbow to the hard wooded benches that lined the room. Needless to say she followed.
We had made it to the third floor and she decided that I was worthy of her acknowledgement.
"How many people to a dorm?" I stopped and turned to face her.
"One per room if you're a senior or a captain of some sort. Two to a room if you're just a regular student. Sorry."
"Sweet." she replied with lack of enthusiasm. I continued walking up the stairs. I walked along one, two, three doors, finally reaching the fourth door I stopped.
"Can you knock? Hands are full." I said.
"Sure." She gave a faint smile.
Alice opened the door on the first knock and hugged poor Bella, then looked at me.
'Why are you here, you're not moving in are you. Eww gross, we haven't shared a room since, like, forever.' She shivered, am I really that bad? No, the girl across who was giving my flirtatious looks confirmed that. I painstakingly drew my attention away from her chest and looked to my sister.
"Alice, this is Bella. Bella, this is Alice. Bella, I feel bad for you, you have to share a room with this over-excited, shopping obsessed, pixie like sister of mine. Alice don't... scare the poor girl off." Was all I said.
"It's not an obsession, it's a dedication." She chanted, maybe one day she would believe it too.
"Whatever you say, sis. Where am I putting her stuff?"
"In the other room, duh, loser." Alice grabbed Bella's hand and pulled her into the dorm.
I saw Jasper, Alice long time boyfriend sitting on the couch, looking longingly at Alice, he probably wished she would lavish her attention on him instead of Bella.
"Yo Bru, how was the holidays, though I should know, you spent most of it at my house. Ogling my sister."
"It's lovely to see you to Eddie." His eyes never left Alice.
What I would kill to have what they have. I shook my head; I didn't want to tie myself down with only one chick. Where's the fun in just that? Where indeed, I asked myself. I put Bella's stuff in the empty room and walked out again to the main room. Jasper had now moved over to Alice and an uncomfortable looking Bella. Alice's arms where still around Bella. Suffocating her. She looked like she wanted to run and hid in her new room. It was then Jasper introduced himself.
"Hey there, I'm Jasper Hale, Alice's boyfriend. And for all other purposes, a shopping bag carrier. Also, if you want, I can try to peel her of you if you want?"
"Hi. I'm Bella; I would shake your hand. But my body is being is being abused." She smiled. Her smile was pretty; it made her whole face light up. Wait, what is this, am I turning sappy?
"Umm, some help would be appreciated. Now!" Bella said. Jasper started to pull Alice off Bella, and was failing miserably. He gave up and began to ask the question that would seal his fate.
'Alice, do you want to go - I can't believe I'm going to say this, - but Alice, do you want to go sh - sh - shopping?' Brave man. Alice immediately removed her arms from Bella, grabbed Jasper's arm and her Gucci bag in one movement and said to Bella, "We will have to get together later and get to know one another, since we will be roomies and all. I'll see you at dinner. I'll get Mexican on my way back, ok?'
"Umm, yeah that sounds great." And with that Alice pulled the tortured looking Jasper from the room and closed the door in on fluid motion.
Ohh, do you know whatcha got into?
Can you handle what I'm 'bout to do?
'Cause it's about to get rough for you.
I'm here for you entertainment.
I looked down at the caller ID on my phone; it was my brother, Emmett.
"You get you white skinny ass to practice now. Coach is having a shit fit anyway 'cause you got detention - though he should be use to it by now. But anyway, Rosie and I are going to the movies tonight, so I can't be held back 'cause you're late. You know she will castrate me if I'm late, and I don't know what she'll do to you."
"Yeah dude, I'm coming now. Tell Coach to get his balls on the field and I'll be there in a minute. That sounded really bad didn't it?'
"Yeah dude, it did. I'll see you soon."
"Yep."
I looked at Bella.
"Sorry, I gotta go now. Soccer practice."
"I can't believe you have that song as your ring tone."
I gave her a hard look, "I'm comfortable enough with my sexuality to appreciate the music of Adam Lambert."
"So you're gay then?"
I nearly choked. Me, gay. "No, Hun. I'm not."
"Well, bye. Thanks for taking my bags and showing me around... and stuff." I smiled; she was quite the odd girl.
"S'all good. Any time you need me to carry your bags just call."
"Is that a really bad pick up line?"
"Only if you want it to be."
As I was leaving, I said, "Umm, this is an odd favour to ask, but, if the top-dog would happen to ask you if I was being responsible in taking you around the sites of this fine educational facility, I'd really appreciate a good word. I can't get kicked of the team." I smiled my most charming smile.
'Yeah, sure. Bye.'
'Bye-bye Bella.' With that I closed the door behind my exit from her dorm.
