Author's note: Thank you to everyone who reviewed/alerted the introduction, I'm glad there were people who are as interested in the plot line as I am – I haven't decided anything and letting this grow as I go along, but I do have a general idea of where I want to go with this. And re-reading the intro I realised how horrible my grammar got at times so I'm wondering whether or not there are anyone out there willing to Beta this story? Please enjoy!
I don't own Twilight
Old clichés, New faces
Rosalie
The first thing I take note of in the morning is my best friend Alice's voice chirping away urging me to come into the real world.
The next was that today was the first day of my last year in high school, Senior Year, year of SAT's, year of Prom, my last year for the Cheer team, and a lot of other lasts.
I groaned and buried my head underneath my warm blanket away from the crisp coolness of the September morning. Only to have said blanket ripped away from my body causing me to yelp at the sudden change of temperature which then led me to sitting up sending a glare at Alice
"Give me the blanket and no one gets hurt Cullen" I growled out
Alice merely grinned as she held my comforter closer to her body
"No...Now get up! It's the start of a brand new year! Our last year Rose! C'mon" her urging turned more and more into whining the more she said
I shall never understand how this girl had so much energy all the time. I sometimes catch myself wondering whether or not she's human, only to shake my head thinking that there's no such thing as mythical creatures with super amounts of energy.
"Whatever Alice...it's just school, nothing special" I yawned out rubbing my bleary eyes as I headed over to my walk-in closet to take out the school's uniform which consisted of a navy blue, red and dark green short plaid skirt, white button down shirt with the school's emblem, pair of white socks, school blazer and black shoes. However, due to the prestige of the school students tended to add their own accessories and I chose a white cashmere jacket and red silk ribbon to tie through my hair
Coming out I showed the accessories for my friend's approval, knowing full well that if she didn't approve we would start arguing about boundaries that best friends had on each others' lives ending in me giving up in annoyance with the entire situation and allowing her to have her way.
I watched as Alice gave a nod which then resulted in me disappearing for thirty or so minutes so I could get ready, hair and make-up included. Despite what many people would think I don't take forever in the bathroom looking at myself in the mirror.
Like I always bloody stereotypes.
Heading downstairs and into the kitchen I saw my mother setting out some pancakes for the two of us on the big marble island that had a couple of bar stools surrounding it.
Taking our seats we began eating
"So…your senior year; make sure you guys enjoy it – but don't have too much fun" my mother said looking between the two of us, causing me to roll my eyes
"Honestly mother, we can take the parties and still keep up our GPA's easily" I replied in a slow drawl.
Here's the thing about my parents, they're obsessed with being the best. They won't settle for second place much less last place, so of course they would always be on my back about being 'perfect'.
'How proud they must've been when they saw I was this beautiful' I thought knowingly, thinking about their obsession and not only that but their ambition as well
My mother nodded her head as she smiled at us, but I didn't miss the fact that the smile didn't really warm her cerulean eyes
"Okay darling…so what time will you be home?" she asked in what she supposed was a 'motherly' tone
I merely shrugged
However, Alice being the chirpy person she was replied for me
"Well not that late seeing as it's the first day of school – so hardly anything is on after school"
I watched as my mother nodded her head before turning away as I took my last bite of my pancakes.
I stood up and motioned for Alice to hurry up, she just rolled her eyes and made a show of eating extra slow; which although aggravated me still made me smile at my friend's antics
After she was done she too stood and picked up her things from where they had lay on the floor
"Bye mother" I said coolly before turning and walking out of the door as I heard Alice call back her farewell
"Bye Mrs. Hale!" she sang out as we stepped over the threshold and out into the real world.
I looked over at Alice as we stepped into our own representative cars, hers being a bright yellow Porsche and mine a red convertible; both finely tuned to epitome performance thanks to yours truly.
The ride to school was a quiet one seeing it was only me in the car so I turned on the CD system and soon 'My Girl' by the Temptations filled the air. I loved what most people consider 'oldies' music such as the Temptations, I find they have more meaning when compared to what was coming out these days. I mean honestly most of the time they're sugary 'can't-live-without-you-or-I'll-die' songs, and also most of them aren't even all that soulful; but don't get me wrong I can listen to some when I'm in the mood.
Giving a sigh of content as I listen to the lyrics bobbing my head to the rhythm as I easily slid into an open parking spot, I glanced to my right as Alice's car parked next to me. Turning off the engine I slid out of my baby and was quickly joined by the best friend
"Hm…a new school year" she breathed out excitement radiating off her
Rolling my eyes I hitched my messenger bag onto my shoulder, grimacing slightly at the alien weight on it. We made our way towards the spot by the science block where our group usually sat, by 'group' I meant my best friends and the hanger ons who consider themselves 'cool' because they were able to sit with us, who we just tolerate because mummy and daddy said so.
Emmett
I rolled my eyes as I watched Isabella, my younger sister by a few months, practically tumble out of the black SUV that belonged to our parents; which was driven by our driver.
We weren't really brother and sisters, well we were but not by blood. My mother got married to her father when we were around seven. Luckily we clicked instantly and became best friends and brother and sister all in the same day.
"Honestly Bella, I'm sure that if I wasn't around your entire life you would've accidentally killed yourself by now" I commented
She stuck her tongue out at me
"Honestly Em, I'm sure that if I wasn't around your entire life you would've been massacred by older brothers or fathers of the girls you've messed around with" she snapped back
I grinned in reply as I thought about my little sister defusing tense situations in where older brother, father and or respective male guardians had threatened to cut off the reason for all the trouble.
As we walked toward our new school I took note of the pristine state it was in, how most students had their uniforms worn in the correct way, adding accessories or other pieces of clothes such as jackets or shoes
'Argh…why did mum and dad choose a school with all these bloody spoilt brats' I thought with distaste, knowing from just looking at these people that they believed they were above them.
Looking over to my darling sis I saw the stiffness of her shoulders and the nervous look in her eyes
Sighing I wrapped a protective arm around her shoulders
"Don't worry Bella, I'll be here to protect you" I said in mock chivalry
To her credit she gave a weak smile but didn't reply.
Taking another look at our surroundings I noticed the not so new sight of girls checking me out, I watched as they trailed their gazes from the top of my dark curly locks, down my broad shoulders, my enormous arms, my stocky but lean waist, all the way down to my nicely shiny black shoes
I gave them my signature smirk and controlled the need to laugh as I watched a fair amount of pairs of eyes darken with lust
"Don't cause any trouble on the first day Emmett" she warned me
I once again rolled my eyes until I spotted a group, which was obviously the 'top' of the pack which could be noticed from a mile away just by looking at them. As they gave off one of those cool and confident atmospheres
However, my gaze zeroed in on the one girl who seemed to be the 'Queen Bee' of the group. I looked her over taking in the softly curled blonde hair that was pulled back from her face by a piece of material, her sharp but beautiful features, not to mention her killer body, I was too far away to see the colour of her eyes. In an instant I was smitten by her.
"Whoa…" I all I could murmur
"Emmett McCartney-Swan" she warned me darkly as she followed the direction of my gaze.
I rolled my eyes as I looked down at her smaller frame with a raised eyebrow
"Can I help it if I like what I see?" I snapped back
She scoffed at what I said
"Em, if you stopped thinking with the organ between your legs and instead used the one in your brain maybe you could" she replied dryly
I stared at her for a few heartbeats before I began to smirk. At the sight of said smirk her eyebrows creased into a worried frown
"What are you doing Emmett?" she asked as I made my way over to the group, following me at a slower pace
"Showing how much the organ between my legs pays off a lot better than the one in my head" I commented and I controlled the need to laugh at the face she made as she realised what I was going to do.
Rosalie
I was pretending to listen to Jessica Stanley talk about what she did over the holidays, mainly what guys she did during them. This girl was close to the top of the very long list of people I despised, she could be the poster child for what popular people are portrayed as; she was not the brightest bulb in the box – actually I'm pretty sure she had that part of her body missing – she gossiped on a regular basis, she used her body to get what she wanted and all that other crap
"…now Damien, now that boy could please a girl -" she was saying before she came to sudden stop
I was too busy thanking every deity out there that she had finally stopped talking
"Whoa…whose that!" she exclaimed making me look in the direction she was directing.
It was a guy, a very, very, very drool worthy guy. But keeping my cool and calm demeanour I checked him out; he had dark brown almost black looking curly hair that gave me the urge to comb my hands through, and his body…wow just wow…I've never seen anything like him. He was a bloody tank!
"Now girls I suggest you wipe the drool from your faces" I heard Roy comment in what sounded like a joking tone, but I could hear the tone of annoyance in his voice.
"Damn I wouldn't mind doing him" Lauren stated as she continued to take the guy in
I felt a jab to my side as an elbow connected, I turned my head slowly and saw Alice grinning cheekily
"Oooh…Rose I think we just found you a man that could handle you" she suggested in what could only be in a lecherous way
"Excuse me Cullen, but Rosalie already has a man" Roy growled out
Alice rolled her eyes sending a look filled with dislike at him, the two of them never really got along, despite the fact that they ran in the same social circle.
"Omigosh! He's coming over!" Lauren squeaked with pleasure as she and Jessica hurriedly took out compact mirrors and began to check their make-up and hair
I rolled my eyes at their antics although I did comb a hand through my hair subtly making sure it didn't seem messy
His figure continued to draw closer until he was standing right in front of where she sat on the steel bench
"The name's Emmett McCartney, how do you do?" he asked in a strong and very masculine voice, I could feel a slight flutter in my chest
Vaguely I was aware of Alice turning to Jasper and say
"One hundred dollars that they're together by the end of the year"
Author's note: Well there you have it everyone! The first chapter, excluding the intro, hope it wasn't too boring for everyone. Please R&R, and sorry for any mistakes but I am looking for a Beta.
