Chapter 1 – a new start
"ROSE," I screamed, "Get out! Other people have to pee you know!" "In a minute," came her annoyed reply. "No now!"I huffed, "before I break the door down myself and drag you out by your hair". "Fine" she replied, the door lock clicked and out walked a very glamorous looking Rose. Rose was my older sister, well step-sister. She was one of the most beautiful creatures to ever walk this earth, and boy did she know it. She flaunted her beauty day in day out to get her own way. When she walked the whole world stopped to look at her, including herself. As she walked past every shiny surface in the house she would stop and admire herself – but who can blame her?
"Finally, now move" I shoved her out the way and made my way into the bathroom. Thanks to Rose I only had 20 minutes to get ready. The bathroom was filled with a lovely aroma and make up products were spread around the sink – there was literally no counter space left at all! No wonder it took her so longer to get ready on a morning, not to mention she spent at least half an hour in the shower. I went to the loo and had a really quick shower. I then towel dried my hair and went to go and get dressed.
My room was bare as everything had been packed ready for school; all of it had already been shipped over. I went to look at what I could fish out my wardrobe when I caught a glimpse at my reflection in the mirror. I was far from beautiful, my hair was dark brown and curly all down my back, I wouldn't mind but every morning it seemed to have a mind of its own. I had extremely pale skin and dark red ruby lips. I shied away from my mirror and took a look into my wardrobe, I just picked out my usual – sweats and a T-shirt. And then I hurried down the stairs.
"Bella," Alice moaned, "you can't possibly wear THAT." "Why not?" I asked. "Because, it is our first day at a new school, we have to make a good impression." Alice replied. Alice was Rosalie's twin, she like Rose was also beautiful but in a different way. Alice had short black hair and had a very small body frame and Alice being Alice was OBSESSED with shopping and according to Alice "image was everything." I groaned at Alice's comment and rolled my eyes, "I need to be comfortable on the plane". I didn't really want to make much of an impression at this school all I wanted to do was draw as little attention to myself as possible.
Our new school sounded great, it was a boarding school – a very expensive boarding school. Its grounds were huge and Rose, Alice and I would all share a dorm in one of the dorm buildings. The school had its own mall on site – Alice was happy, and it has a few little restaurants and Rose's favourite part was it was a mixed boarding school. At first none of us were happy to go but when we saw the pictures we were all really excited. Especially Alice because she couldn't wait to decorate our dorm room, she just loved how big they were. We had to go to a boarding school because my mum and her husband Phil, Alice and Rosalie's dad, moved around a lot because of Phil's job and Mum wanted to keep us in the same place.
"Come on Bells," Rose called," The car is all packed and Phil needs to get us to the airport, pronto!" I ran from the landing and into the car. I looked back at my house, knowing I would never return and with that Phil pulled out of the driveway and on we went – to the airport.
