Okay, this is my new story! This first chapter is kind of short beacuse its the first one.
"Bella! Hurry up!" I heard Alice call impatiently from the driveway.
"I'm coming," I called back, slinging my overnight bag across my shoulder and locking the door. I slipped the key under the eave and went to where Alice was waiting inside her yellow Porsche shaking her head to the music inside. I slid into the passenger seat beside her and, without giving me time to put on my seatbelt, she had already backed out of the driveway and was speeding down the street in the direction of her house. I put on my seatbelt quickly and threw my bag in the back.
Alice screeched to a stop in front of her house. I got out while Alice took my bag from the backseat. Alice pranced to the door with me stumbling behind her. She unlocked it and went inside. "Mom made juice," she announced as I closed the door behind me. Mrs. Brandon knew I loved her homemade apple juice. She always made it a point to have some made for when I was coming over.
"Can you get me some? I'll just go put my bag up in your room." I walked up the stairs to Alice's bedroom and she went to the kitchen to get the juice. I dumped my bag onto her bed and then ran down the steps, calling Alice's name. Running down turned out to be a really bad idea. Being the huge klutz that I am, I fell flat on my face. Luckily, it was on the last step, so no damage was caused.
Alice came out of the kitchen, took one look at me on the floor and burst out laughing. "God, Bella," she said, gasping for air. "Walk much?"
I glared at her and she immediately stopped laughed. "Okay, okay, I'm sorry," she apologized. That was one of the things I loved about Alice. She never crossed the line when it came down to making fun of me.
I took the glass of juice from her. "So, what are we going to do? Smallville is on at 5, so there's still 20 minutes." Smallville was our latest craze. We never missed a single episode of it.
"Let's go online for a while." She suggested. We went to the study and went online in Alice's account. "No one's on," she said sadly. We decided to watch YouTube video's for a while. We were in the middle of watching Potter Puppet Pals, our favorite video on YouTube, when we noticed there was only 5 minutes left.
We raced to the sofas and flopped down on them. Alice switched on the TV just in time for the beginning of the episode. This episode was the one where the cheerleaders spike the footballer's drink with their 'love molecule'.
"Wow, look at Clark," Alice said dreamily at one point.
"You have a boyfriend Alice," I pointed out.
"I know." She replied. "But there's no harm in checking out other guys."
"Poor Jasper," I mocked. She threw a pillow at me. I held up the one closest to me in defense when she threw it again. Then I launched my pillow at her. Laughing, we picked up all the pillows again and set them properly so that Mrs. Brandon wouldn't get mad at us.
"I'm home, girls!" Mrs. Brandon called just as we finished setting the pillows properly. "What do you want for dinner?"
We followed her into the kitchen where we decided on lasagna. "It'll be ready soon," she told us, smiling warmly. "I'll call you."
We went up to Alice's bedroom. We put in one of her CD's and let the music blare out while we just listened to it. Soon enough, Alice's mom was knocking on the door. We went downstairs to the kitchen where Mr. Brandon was already setting the table. "Hello Alice, Bella." He greeted.
Alice smiled enthusiastically. "Hey dad!"
"Hi Mr. Brandon," I said, sitting down next to Alice. We finished eating dinner and decided to watch a movie for a while. We decided on Psycho. Even though it was a horror movie, we loved it. I almost fell asleep on the couch. We had had a long day at school, and I was exhausted.
Alice shook me awake when the movie was over. "Bella," she said in my ear. "Bella!"
I opened my eyes, startled. "Huh?" I asked, disorientated.
She rolled her eyes. "Bella, the movies over. You fell asleep. Now come on, let's go upstairs." She grabbed my hand and tried pulling me off the sofa with no success since she was so tiny.
I got up anyway, and staggered upstairs. I collapsed onto the left side of her queen-sized bed and was asleep in seconds.
"Rise and shine, sleepy head!" Alice's voice was bright and chirpy. She opened the curtains, the sunlight hitting my face. I groaned and rolled over. "Wake up, Bella! It's already noon!"
That got me up. I was supposed to be home at 11. Charlie would definitely kill me. "What?" I asked, now fully awake.
She laughed. "I'm just kidding. It's only 8."
I glared at her, and then sighed. "I may as well get up now," I muttered. I went to her bathroom, splashed water on my face and brushed my teeth. Alice passed me my clothes from outside. "Thanks!" I called, slamming the door shut.
I ate breakfast with Alice. "Should I drop you at home?" She asked when we were outside near her car.
"Actually, can you drop me at Edward's?" I asked, getting into the passenger seat without waiting for an answer.
She obliged by driving down to Edward's house. Edward was my best friend, even closer to me than Alice. He was there for me whenever I needed him, and I was there for him. We had been friends since elementary school.
"See you tomorrow!" I waved and shut the door. I went up to Edward's porch and knocked on the door. He opened it. "Hey, Edward!" I said.
"Hi, Bella." He opened the door further for me to go in. I went straight to his bedroom.
"What are you doing?" I asked, perching myself on the edge of his bed.
He ran his fingers through his hair. "Nothing, just trying to finish my Biology project."
I spotted some notes on his desk. "Oh, that project? I finished that ages ago."
"Of course you did," he replied, rolling his eyes.
"Well then," I said, standing up. "I'll leave you to finish it. Bye!" I let myself out and walked home. Edward only lived two streets away from me, so it wasn't too far of a walk.
Reaching home, I went upstairs and chose to read one of my favorite books, Sense and Sensibility for a while. It was sunny outside in Forks, which was a rare occurrence. I spread out a blanket and settled down on it, trying to concentrate on the book, rather than the pleasant feeling of the sun beating down on my face. Soon, I felt myself succumbing to the warmth, and I drifted to sleep.
The next day, I was waiting outside my house for Alice to come pick me up while trying to solve a particularly difficult trigonometry problem I hadn't gotten yesterday. After I woke up, I had added some finishing touches to my Biology projects and then tried to do my Trig homework with not much success.
Alice pulled up outside my house. "Hop in," she yelled. I got inside beside her.
"Hey," I said. "Did you get the Trig homework?"
"Err, yeah, most of it."
"Okay… 'Cause I didn't get anything. Mr. Varner is going to be so mad."
"Who cares?"
I rolled my eyes. We had reached the school now. We got out of the car and joined our group near the school's entrance. In our group were Alice, Edward, Emmett, Jasper, Rosalie and me. Alice and Jasper were going out, and Rosalie had a crush on Edward which he seemed oblivious to. Rosalie hated me for some reason, which Alice said was because she was jealous of me. I couldn't believe that, since Rosalie was really beautiful, and I was really plain.
"Hey, Bella." Edward said, smiling at me.
"Hey," I replied, greeting him, as well as the others. Rosalie glared at me, but then smiled warmly at Alice.
"Did you finish your project?" I asked him.
"Yeah. Finally." The bell rang, signaling it was time to go to classes. I walked with Jasper, since he was in my first period English class.
"See you all later!" I called, as we walked away.
Please, review and tell me how it was. I wan't to make sure people are reading it so I can continue. This first chapter was just sort of an introduction to Bella's life. The drama will start in the next couple of chapters probably.
Review!!
