New Story! Yay! So, I got inspiration for this story by looking at an Ad for Vera Wang's Preppy Princess. I know, how weird. lol. But you should look it up. It features six teens dressed in uniformish clothes and so I kept looking at it and Finally came up with a story. So, please tell me what you think. And Make sure to check out my polyvore.

Bella
"What do you guys think?" Mom asked as we finally pulled up to a large house.
It was beautiful, but I wouldn't expect anything less. My mother had an eye for all things beautiful and interior design. She wouldn't have moved us into a place that didn't meet her qualifications.
The house was three levels, but you could only see two of them. The house was tan color and had some masonry on it. There were two balconies facing us and I hoped that I would be able to get one of those rooms.
Mom had decided to not let us chose this time, as the last time we broke one of her fifty thousand dollar vases while racing into the house to claim the best room.
So, I was nervous as to where she would put me.
"It's nice," Jasper shrugged as he continued to type away at his laptop.
Mom rolled her eyes, "What about you, Bella? What do you think?"
"It's gorgeous, Mom," I said, giving her a grin.
"I'm with Bella," Jane agreed.
"It's super pretty, momma," Elle gushed
"And what do you think, Alec, Garrett?"
Both Garrett and Alec shrugged, like Jasper they didn't seem to care. I can relate though. After moving around so much, it's just not fun anymore. Once we get use to a house, it's time to move.
However, I promised myself I wouldn't complain about that anymore. My parents needed to do what they needed to do. It would change nothing if I complained.
"Let's get inside," Mom sighed.
"Is Dad here?" Jane asked, hopeful.
"Not yet," Mom said as Peter, our driver, opened up the door. "He'll arrive tomorrow morning but you won't see him until the evening."
"Why?" Alec asked.
"You have school," Mom reminded him.
I held back my groan.
The worst part about moving was switching schools. I hated it. It wasn't that it was hard for me to make friends, because it wasn't, but that's the thing. I only got to be with those friends for a month or two before I moved. It really sucked to get attached to people only to be moved away again and again.
Not to mention it was so hard to catch up on the schoolwork.
"Great another school," Alec mumbled. "How long are we going to be at this one?"
"Until you graduate," Mom said.
"What?" Jasper asked.
"You heard me," Mom laughed. "We aren't leaving. You're father and I have decided to settle down in one spot. I'm opening another office in Seattle and so is your father. I can't promise that we won't still take trips on occasion but we won't be gone long enough to require you to move schools,"
"Maybe we don't even have to go," Jasper said. "Bella and I are old enough to stay back with the twins."
"We have names," Jane scowled.
"Yeah being referred to as the twins isn't that much fun anymore." Alec agreed.
"Whatever," Jasper snorted. "But seriously, I'm eighteen in two months and Bella just turned sixteen."
"I'll take to your father about it," Mom promised.
"Good enough," Jasper sighed.
"Can we go inside now?" Jane asked, impatiently. "I'm cold, hungry, and tired."
"And you'll soon be grounded if you keep up that attitude," Mom warned as she pulled the keys out of her purse.
She unlocked the front door and stepped out of the way.
The grand foyer was simple. The floor was white marble, the walls were white, and there was a crystal chandelier. It also held the double staircase to the second floor.
"Where's my room?" Alec asked.
"Where's mine?" Jane asked.
"Nope," Mom smirked. "I will give you the formal tour and then you may retreat to your rooms to get ready for bed."
"What about food?"
"We already ate," I scoffed. "How much can you eat, Jane?"
"What? I can't help it that I'm a growing girl,"
I laughed.
"Peter could you got pick up some pizza?" Mom asked, kindly.
Peter nodded, "Yes, Mrs. Cullen,"
"Great, thank you," Mom set her purse on the stairs. "Alright, let's get this tour started,"
"I'm tired," Jasper grumbled. "Can we have a tour in the morning?"
"I have to be in Seattle by one," Mom said. "So, if you want to get up early, I supp..."
"Please start the tour," Jane ordered.
"Alright, follow me," Mom said, happily. "Okay, the first stop is the living room."
The living room was a warm khaki color that was accented with a deep chocolate brown and a crisp white color. In the center of the room was a white fireplace. On the mantle, there were two large candles and numerous vases. Right above that was a vibrant orange painting. To add light to the room there was a whimsical chandelier hanging right above the glass coffee table.
Lastly, there was a baby grand in the corner, near the armchairs.
It was perfect but my mom knew that.
"Nice," Alec complimented.
"It's great, mom," Jane offered.
"Lovely," I smiled.
"What they said," Jasper shrugged.
"Alright, moving on,"
Mom wasn't satisfied until she had showed us every room but our bedrooms. The house was beautiful, inside and out, and now that I knew that we were staying here until we finished school, at least I hope she stayed true to her word, I was a lot more into it.
The main level of our home held two living rooms. One of the living rooms was strictly for show, I mean we could use it but it didn't have a TV as the second living room did. The second living room was the family room where we would 'Spend time as a family', that's my mom's words not mine.
The first level also held the large dining room, the laundry room, and it connected to the four-car garage where our most valuable cars are housed.
The backyard was one of my favorite things about our new home. It was huge and not only had a little outdoor cooking area but it also had a large pool and a hot tub.
But that wasn't the best part. The best part was the view we had. We had a view of a large lake. I bet when the sun was setting, it was magical out here.
I'd have to wait until tomorrow evening to see.
The basement of our house was very cool. There was a game room, which we found out connected to Jane, Elle, Garrett, and Alec's rooms. Their rooms weren't in the basement though. Mom had the designer install slides that led them to the game room from their bedrooms upstairs.
I may be sixteen but I was slightly jealous, as was Jasper.
The basement also held the movie theater, the gym, the wine cellar, both my parents had offices down there, and lastly there was a room dedicated just to the boys and just to the girls.
"Now don't think that means the girls can't go into the boy's room and vise versa," Mom said. "I wanted to make one room sort of girly for my book club, and tea time, and your dad wanted something mainly so he can invite associates over for whatever he wants,"
"Nice."
"Can we see our bedrooms now?" Jane asked, hopeful. "Please, mom,"
"Alright, let's go," Mom smiled. "The third floor, is where all the bedrooms are. We have a total of ten of them. Two of which are the guest bedrooms. You know how your cousins like to come for visits and of course for other friends who need a place to stay."
"Cool,"
"This is your father and I's room," Mom said. "I'm sure you aren't interested in seeing it."
"Not really."
Mom laughed, "I didn't think so. Jane this is your room." Jane rushed into her bedroom, slamming the door shut behind her. "Love you too, Jane."
"I love you, mom!" Jane yelled from the other side of the door. "This is amazing!"
"You're welcome," mom laughed. "Bella, this is your room,"
"Thanks," I said, kissing her cheek. "Love you. I'm tired so I'm probably going to shower and get to bed."
"Sweet dreams,"
I nodded and opened the door to my newest bedroom.
I stepped into a little sitting area first. The walls were a creamy brown color and the floor had lush white carpet. Situated on the wall was a flat screen and various decorative pictures.
I had two white couches that sat in the middle of the room, a glass coffee table with my favorite flowers sitting in a vase, and a white armchair. Blue decorative pillows, and an afghan, were placed decoratively on the couches and the armchair.
For light, I had a two small black lamps placed on a desk, which was located right under my flat screen.
Across from the flat screen, and behind the armchair, there are French doors that open up to my bed.
The walls surrounding my bed are dark blue, which goes great with the chocolate brown that my mom had chosen for the theme of my room.
The bed itself is placed up against the furthest wall. It has a brown comforter and brown and blue decorate pillows, and sheets. In front of the bed is a leather seat and in front of that is a tan armchair.
That was all that was in that room. Back in the sitting room, there were two other doors. One led to the bathroom and the other led to my walk in closet.
My walk in closet was also a dark chocolate brown but it had black shelves, cabinets, and dressers. It was also filled with color, from my clothes. My mom obviously hired someone to have all this stuff put away before we got here.
I had tons of clothes, shoes, and of course accessories. I never use to be into the fashion thing but when I just recently changed. I had been in Paris for the last five months and I was hanging around with many fashion enthusiasts so it finally started to grow on me.
I had hundreds of shoes, some that haven't even been released yet. I hand thousands of dresses, skirts, shirts, and other fun stuff, again some of the stuff that I have isn't set to release for another six months or so.
And I probably shouldn't even mention how much jewelry and other accessories I have.
I have quite the collection.
I left my closet and walked into my bathroom. My bathroom was the simplest of my room. The walls were white as was the floor. I had a walk in shower with a bench seat, a Jacuzzi tub, and behind another door was the toilet.
There was a counter with many drawers placed across from the hidden toilet. A large mirror was above that. I checked the drawers and saw that all my makeup, ponytails, and stuff like that had already been organized into the drawers.
And in the middle of the room was a small seat.
My room was beautiful and I was glad that we would stay here long enough to enjoy it.
You see, my parents are somewhat famous. They don't act or direct movies but they're just as good. My mom, Esme, is a lawyer. She represents some big celebrities but those aren't her only clients. She's a lawyer the likes to dabble in a little of everything.
My dad is a world-renown surgeon, hence the reason we move around so much. He not only owns his own hospital practice but he also freelances for different hospitals.
We had been in Europe for the last five months before the hospital in Seattle called to see if he could help them out. My mom talked my dad into it, because she had always wanted to send us to Denali Academy.
I mean, she could've because Denali Academy offers housing for its students but she doesn't like being away from us. Well, she doesn't like us being in one state, or country, while she's in another.
Therefore, my siblings and I have stayed with our parents and traveled from school to school.
It can't complain though because for a while I really did enjoy moving around but when I finally started to relax and enjoy a place, that's when I started to resent it.
"What do you think?" Mom asked, bringing me from my thoughts.
"It's really pretty," I said. "And it's so me."
"I'm glad you like it." Mom smiled. "But don't be just lock yourself in here all day, every day. I have a feeling I'm going to have to drag your siblings out of their bedrooms kicking and screaming,"
I laughed, "Probably,"
I have a big family, if you haven't already noticed. I have six siblings, two of them older than me and the rest of them younger than me.
First, there was Emmett. Emmett, like me, inherited our mom's looks. He had curly brown hair and brown eyes. He was also twenty years old and going to Washington State. He was another one of the reasons that motivated my parents to move to Washington.
Second, there was eighteen year old, Jasper. Jasper had dark brown hair but inherited our dad's icy blue eyes. Most people label Jasper as a bad boy, and he was. What I mean by that is he liked to fight, drink, and do other bad things. Nevertheless, he did have a good heart when it came to his family. He treated us all with respect and love, and so my parents trusted him with the rest of us.
Then there was me, I just turned sixteen two weeks ago. I took after my mother completely in looks. I had brown hair, big chocolate brown eyes, a heart shaped face, and full pout lips. I was an outgoing bookworm who had just recently discovered fashion. I made friends easily and normally was able to search out true friends from the fake friends that wanted only money or connections.
Then there were the twins, who were twelve, Jane and Alec. Jane had long blonde hair and blue eyes while Alec had inherited our mothers brown hair and Dad's blue eyes. Though they were twins, they could not be more different. Jane was funny, childish, yet was able to be serious when the situation called for it. Alec was more reserved then his twin. It took him the longest to make friends as he proffered being alone.
Then there was Garrett, he was nine. He had blonde hair and bright blue eyes like Dad. He was also a charmer, very sweet, and super smart for his age.
And Lastly, there was Elle. She had just turned five three days ago. She had long brown hair and our dad's bright blue eyes. Elle was silly, fun, and very observant.
My mom had always wanted to have a large family but until she met my dad, she had thought that would be impossible. When she was a teen, she was in an accident and doctors told her that the chances of her having children were slim to none.
Yet after having a one-night stand with my dad, she was pregnant with Emmett.
Emmett was a great surprise, according to my mom. She thought he would be her one and only but after going to a doctor to check to see what her chances of having more were, she was very optimistic that she would have the family she always dreamed of.
"School starts in the morning," Mom said. "You have to wear a uniform."
I nodded. I wouldn't expect anything less for Denali Academy.
"It just says a black skirt, a white blouse with the Denali logo on it, and if you'd like you can wear the jacket that also has the logo on it. Oh, and if you want you can wear a black dress that has the Denali Academy logo on it,"
I nodded.
"You can wear whatever shoes you'd like, tights, and other accessories, if you wish,"
"Sounds good," I said, yawning. "I should probably get to bed. What time does school start in the morning?"
"Eight thirty," Mom said. "You sure you're not hungry?"
"I'm stuffed," I said. "I ate more than enough on the way here."
"Alright," Mom kissed my forehead. "I probably won't be home until...I don't know If I'll be home at all tomorrow night. But I'll make sure to call and say goodnight,"
"I'm not a little girl," I said.
"Just humor me," Mom said.
"Fine," I said. "I'll expect your call so that we can gush about all the cute guys I see."
"Deal," Mom grinned. "Sweet dreams, Honey,"
"Night, Mom,"
Mom gave me one last smile before she left my room.
As I started to kick my shoes off, The Flat screen on my wall clicked on.
"Hi, Bella!"
"Jane?" I frowned.
"Isn't this cool? We can talk to each other via the TV! Hold on, I'm going to see if I can get everyone on,"
I stared at the TV with a smile. That really was cool. Although, I'm sure after a while it would get annoying. I'd have to see how I could make it ask me if I'd like to talk to Jane or Alec, or Jasper first.
"Hey!" Jane greeted once everyone's room had appeared on my TV.
"Holy cow!" Elle squealed as she rushed to her TV. "That's so cool!"
"Agreed," Garrett said in awe.
"Now we can talk without leaving our rooms," Jasper laughed. "Cause I don't think I want to leave this room, ever,"
"We have school," Alec snorted.
Jasper's smile fell, "Yeah, I know. Denali Academy, home to all the rich bitches and douche bags,"
"You're one of them," Alec laughed.
"What's a..."
"Don't repeat anything, Elle," I said. "Only big kids can say those words."
"Okay," she nodded.
"Denali Academy isn't bad," Jane said. "I've heard it's amazing and fun!"
"It's school," Alec grumbled. "It can only be so fun."
Denali academy wasn't just for high schoolers. They had three campuses spread throughout Forks, Washington. The high school students went to one, the middle schoolers to another, and the kids in elementary school went to another.
Then they had housing for all those students whose parents decided to send them, instead of coming with them.
It was surprising that some parents were willing to send their kindergarten students to a boarding school but hey, that's their method of parenting.
"I hate the uniforms," Jasper said.
"We've worn uniforms at most of the schools we've gone too," I said. "You should be use to it by now."
"Denali Academy has Causal Friday," Jane said. "So once a week I can stun the students of the Middle school division with my awesome outfits."
"See," I laughed. "You can try to 'stun' the high schoolers on Friday, Jazz,"
"Bite me, sis,"
"No biting anyone," Mom laughed. "Garrett, Elle, it's time for bed. The rest of you have an hour."
"Aye, Aye, Captain," Jane giggled.
"How do I sign off?" I asked. "I'm tired."
"Press the red button on the side of the TV," Mom said. "You'll have to ask your father about the rest. That's all I know,"
"Okay," I yawned. "Night everyone,"
"Night," they said. I hit the red button on the side of the TV and went to get ready for bed.
Tomorrow was going to be a long day. I always dread the first day of school. I'm going to walk around like an idiot with a map in front of my face, try not to walk into people, while also having my every move analyzed by the Elite of Denali Academy.
Fun
