I had slept in much later than I usually do. I could hear Emmy, in the kitchen cooking breakfast. If Emmett was up and COOKING, then I was defiantly up late. I grabbed my phone off my desk and looked at the time ELEVEN! Shoot, I had classes in two hours. I knew I shouldn't had stayed up reading Wuthering Heights last night, but that book is so addicting, once I open it, I'm hooked and I can't put it down, even though I've read it a hundred and fifty times, and I'm not even exaggerating. I walked down the stairs of mine and Em's apartment. Emmett had gotten us this apartment when our dad and mom had passed, Emmett had just turned eighteen so he was old enough to take me as my legal guardian since I was only fifteen at the time.
I was not a sophomore in college, and tomorrow is my nineteenth birthday. The sad thing about my birthday is, that having your brother step in as your "dad" is that he likes to keep the boys away from his "baby sister" as he puts it, I mean I've had some pretty attractive guys come up to me, but Emmett always finds something wrong with them. Always. Even though it's perfectly okay, for Emmett to sit around making out with his girlfriend Rose on every piece of furniture we own.
I hopped out of bed and pulled on my purple skinny jeans and my black paramore tee. I went downstairs and sat at the kitchen table. Emmett looked up at me and gave me his stupid lop-sided grin.
"Heya Bells, Nice to see your finally awake." He sat a plate of bacon, eggs, sausage, and toast in front of me, it was enough to feed a small army.
"Emmett, how in the world do you expect me to eat all of this?"
"Bella, your a growing young girl, you need your protein. Now eat up. You have classes in and hour and half." I sighed, and picked up my fork. I ate about one tenth of what he made me. I got up and grabbed my backpack and headed to my car calling a goodbye to Emmett. He was going to be spending the day with Rose, so I actually didn't have to worry about him following me around. I mean I love my brother, but sometimes he was way to overprotective, okay well, he's way to overprotective.
I got into my silver Volvo. It was small, but adorable. I loved my car more than anything in the whole world. It was my baby. Once Emmett tried to make me get rid of her, and I almost killed the man. My Volvo was my world. No one touched it, no one looked at it funny, and absolutely no one drove it. I hopped in my car, and got on the freeway. I was on my way to Forks Community College.
I know what your thinking, Community College. Lame, but you know what? They have a great physiologist , and that's the career I plan on following, I don't see the point in going to a school far away for the same education I can get her, for about 100,000 dollars less.
I pulled into a parking spot and went to my first class of the day Spanish. I really hadn't wanted to take a foreign language, but my counselors advised it and I guess it was sorta a good idea.
I walked into Spanish and took my seat in the back. I wasn't friends with many of the people here. The only true friend I had was Angela Weber. She was the quietest sweetest girl on the whole planet. She was pretty much my best friend, besides Emmy and Rose.
I passed by my classes pretty easily, they were pretty routine by now, two more years and I would be graduating and I could get a job that I actually liked to do. The day was finally over and I was on my way home. I got a text from Emmy, as I was starting the car in the parking lot.
Doode! Some of my friends from Jersey are here Bells!
Remember when I took that trip?
They called me up and our in our house right now!
Can you go to the store and pick up something to make
for dinner? I'll love you FOREVER!
Love your favorite brother,
Emmett!
I sighed, Emmett had the weirdest concept of what was cool and what was just normal for every day people. My brother is a fruitcake.
Sure, Em.
I'll pick something up.
I'll be there in twenty.
Oh, and since your my only brother,
how can any one else be my favorite brother?
Love your totally amazing sister, who basically keeps you breathing,
Bella.
Bells,
I love you!
Your the best sister ever!
Now, Hurry up!
Love, your brother who breathed perfectly fine for three years, when you weren't even around.
Emmett
I let out a frustrated sigh, and headed to the store. I picked up the stuff for Fettuccine Alfredo and headed home. Emmett was lucky that I loved him, because sometimes he treats me like a servant.
I pulled into the drive way, and was shocked at the car sitting next to mine, it was a shiny silver Volvo, just like mine. They were freaking identical. I couldn't believe it! Someone who hangs around with Emmett has a good taste in cars. This was unbelievable.
I marched up the steps to our apartment, and walked in. Five faces turned to look at me, My brother, Rose, and three other faces that I didn't know.
"Uh, Who's Volvo in the drive?" I asked. One of the males answered me. He was pretty cute if you were into army built guys, he had green blue eyes and blond hair. He had a southern accent that was just to cute.
"It's Edward's." He pointed to the bronze haired guy in the corner and my god was he HOT! I mean he had the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen and the way his hair fell over his eyes was such a clasic bad boy look. It was the hottest guy I had ever laid eyes on, but I might as well forget it, Emmett's in the room and he's already giving me the don't-even-think-about-it look. "My name's Jasper and this is Alice." He pointed the little Pixie of a girl next to him. She had short black hair that she had spiked up and she had the bluest eyes I had ever seen. " I take it that your the Bella, Emmett talks about so much."
I was blushing. I had pretty much checked out all of these people and the only thing I've talked about it the Volvo, and that was only a sentence, they thing that really got to me was the fact that my brother talks about me, to his friends. I mean Emmett acts like he is the king of cool, why would he be talking about me?
"Uh, Yeah I'm Bella. Uh, I have the exact same car as you though. I mean it's suppose to be one of kind, but there are two sitting in my drive way. Right now." I shut up. God I was so stupid. The bronze headed one- Edward was smirking at me. I walked into the kitchen. Stupid bad boy thing he's all that. What gives him the right? Emmett's probably right about staying away from him. He seems like a total doucher. I turned around to see Rose leaning against the kitchen door.
"What is it, Rose?" I asked. I could hear the annoyance in my tone, but I couldn't bring myself to apologize.
"Bella, you just checked out the baddest bad boy on the planet, and you defiantly liked what you saw." She gave me the smile that said, you I know you better than you think.
"Yeah, well I don't date guys who are so full of themselves they think that everyone is checking them out, and bad boys are normally players and I will not be played."
"Bella, Calm down. I'm just saying I bet you could have a chance with him if you tried." She smiled and walked away.
I got the dinner ready and was setting the plates when Emmett walked into the kitchen.
"Bella, have I ever told you, that your the best sister a guy could ask for?" He picked me up into one of his famous bear hugs.
"Emmett, I know I rock. Now, get your friends in here to eat. I'm going up to my room. I have a ton of homework."
"But Bells, I want you to get to know my friends." He was giving me his puppy dog looked, but I never fell for this anymore.
"No Emmy. Text me if you need me! I'll be upstairs!" I grabbed a plate of food and my back pack and headed upstairs. Stupid bad boys, making me have to eat in my room. I got out my spansih book and started working on it. My stupid phone started going off.
Bells-
I really wish you would come downstairs.
Please.
I won't even yell at you for checking Eddy out.
Your, best friend, who really wants you to come downstairs,
Emmett.
Emmy-
It's not happening, get over.
Your amazing sister who made dinner for YOUR friends.
Bella.
Stupid Emmett. I finished my dinner and put the plate on my stand. I was just finishing my Calc, homework when there was a knock on my door.
"Come in!" I called. It was Alice and Jasper.
"Bella, we're leaving, but we'd just like to say that dinner was amazing! Your an amazing cook and Alice her has something she'd like to say alone, so I'll leave you to alone."
"Uh, Bella. I know we just met and all, but I saw the way you looked at my brother, and I just want to worn you. He's bad. He plays girls, he hurts them and he doesn't stop until he gets whatever it is he wants out of that girl. Just be careful around him. Here's my number, if you even need me. I need a friend Bella, and you seem like the right kind for me." And with that she was out the door. I picked up my phone and texted her.
Alice-
Thanks for the advice, if my brother let me look at guys,
I would defiantly take your advice.
We should hang out sometime.
Bella..
Bella-
Let me know when and I"m there.
Alice.
I have a feeling that Alice and I are going to be really great friends, if I only I could stop thinking about her brother and take her advice, there was something about him, that drew me in. Edward haunted my dreams that night, with that mischievous smile of his.
