Chapter 1
I looked around; the small hall usually used for the school was now decorated for the dance. Across the room from me was a long table covered in a slightly off white lacy table cloth. The table was already overcrowded with food the woman of the town had spent the majority of the day cooking, there were cakes layered professionally with brightly coloured icing and decorations, there were small trays of fruit that had been freshly picked from the town fruit garden, the bowl of pink coloured punch sat at the end of the table with a silver ladle sitting on the edge of the bowl and a stack of glass cups sitting next to it. The hall now contained a small wooden stage just big enough for the band that would perform. Around the outside of the hall tables and chairs were placed all covered in a similar material to the table cloth. I heard the creak of the large wooden doors opening and turned around to see my mother trying to fit a large basket full of plates and cutlery through only having one door open I ran over to her and pushed the other door open. My mother walked straight over to one of the tables and put the basket down with a sigh. She wiped the stray brown hairs that fell over her face behind her ear and looked at me.
"Isabella, come over here and put these plates on the tables." she said, unloading the plates from the basket. I took a pile of plates and started spreading them out over the tables that sat around the hall.
"What's the time?" I yelled over my shoulder as I finished putting the last plate down. I turned around and watched as my mother took a gold pocket watch out of her bag and flicked it open.
"Five O'clock." She said shutting the pocket watch and putting it back in her bag. Five O'clock, wait wasn't Edward meant to pick me up at Six.
"Oh no, oh no, oh no." I yelled as I rushed out of the hall slamming the doors open and almost knocking my father over on the way. I ran down the road till I reached our house, a small white fence encircled the property with a gate I pushed the gate open with a creak and rushed into the house. I bounded up the stairs taking them two at a time until I reached the top and ran straight into my room. I pulled the doors of my wardrobe open and flipped through the dresses until I found the one I was looking for. The dress was a deep green colour with a white trimming around the collar and sleeves, the dress reached the floor and whenever I spun around in it, it splayed out like a fan. I pulled the dress I was wearing off and hung it over my bed rail then slid the green dress over my head I did up the buttons then looked at myself in the mirror the dress fitted perfectly, I had bought it especially for this ball. I went and sat down at my vanity and took my hair brush out of the drawer I brushed my long brown hair up into a neat bun that sat so you could just see it from the front. I walked back over to my wardrobe and looked through it trying to find my shoes but I couldn't. I knelt down on the floor to have a look if my shoes were under my bed and sure enough they were I stuck my hand out trying to grab them but couldn't so I slid slightly further under my bed.
"Um Bella?" I grabbed the shoes then slid out from under the bed knocking my head on the way.
"Yes, Mother." I said holding my hand up to my forehead where I was pretty sure I bruise would form soon.
"Edward is here." She said helping me up off the floor. I straightened out my dress then pulled my shoes on.
"How do I look?" I said doing a little twirl on the spot.
"Beautiful Bella, now hurry up Edward is waiting for you downstairs." I took one last look in the mirror then walked down the stairs.
