Chapter 2
Ella's POV
We arrived in Seattle and were heading towards the bagging area. I spotted my dad and a huge smile was placed on my face.
"Daddy!" I ran up to him and jumped in his open arms. He chuckled and I clung on to him "I missed you so much" he stroked my hair and kissed my head.
"I missed you too baby girl" He put me down and gave Bella a awkward hug, I smiled. They always were awkward around one another.
We loaded the trunk with our stuff and headed home. It was a funny car ride home, considering Bella sat in the back. We arrived and Charlie was telling us he redecorated our rooms. We walked inside and saw everything else looked the same. The house was tiny but as long as their was two bathrooms it was fine with us. We headed upstairs to mine and Bella's room. We always shared a bedroom.
We looked in awe at our bedroom. It was still our cute tiny bedroom but our dad bought new bedding and painted our room a different color. Their was also a new Mac Air book on both our beds and we beamed at seeing they were both in our favorite colors. Red and blue.
We turned to our dad and hugged him saying our thank you. He left shortly after that to let us get settled. I turned to Bella while she was putting her last set of cloths in her dresser.
"I'm going to shower and then ask dad what we are having for dinner" Bella nodded and sat on the bed.
After showering and putting on a pair of sweats a loose sweater and some fuzzy socks. I went downstairs and entered the living room.
"Hey daddy, what are we having for dinner?" He looked up and smiled, I sat on his lap and he stroked my hair.
"I just ordered some pizza since that was a long flight for you and your sister" I nodded my head. I leaned into his chest. I always did this with my father ever since I was little. He would have me in his lap and we would watch tv, and he would hum to me. My dad circled his arms around me and kissed my head. I snuggled more in his arms and closed my eyes. I know one day I will be gone, and days like this I'm going to miss being in my daddy's arms.
Bella came down not long after that, and a little after that the pizza came and we ate. As we finished me and Bella said goodnight and kissed our father goodnight. We headed upstairs and changed into pajama's and went to bed. Next week Monday we start school, so we had 4 days to settle in.
Bella's POV
It was Sunday afternoon and me and Ella were nervous for school tomorrow. I know Ella will pretty much avoid everyone, but I want her to at least have a good school year. We were in our room on our laptops doing whatever. I heard Ella humming along a song she was listening to, and right away recognized it. It was By The River by Saywecanfly. She loved that song with her whole heart. I smiled and went back to what I was reading.
Later that night we made dinner and then washed up and went to bed. I was tossing and turning all night. Being nervous did not help when trying to go to sleep the day before school.
The next day I got up and turned to see Ella curled up in a ball at the edge of my bed. I sighed and craweled over to her and rubbed her back gently waking her up. I would always sometimes wake to her in my bed, and her being tiny I would never feel her crawl into my bed. She sniffs and rolls over to look up at me.
"Morning Squish" She gives me a tired smile. She sits up and I hug her to me "Bad dream?" She nodds. I sigh and rubb her arms "Come on, lets get ready for school" She picks up her head and rubbs her face.
We both get ready for school and eat a small bowl of cereal. During the week our dad's friend Billy and his son Jacob came over to give me and Ella our homecoming gift. It was a red rusted old Chevy Truck. Me and Ella fell in love with the old beauty.
We locked the door and headed off to school. Ella was bouncing her leg. I smiled a little. We entered the parking lot and right away everyones attention was on us. Don't blame them, First this truck was really loud and hard to miss, second we are new and the chiefs daughters. I parked the car and grabbed my bag.
"You ready?" I asked looking up at her. She bit her lip. A trate me and her share. She nodds and we both exit the car. I know a lot of people are probably shocked to see my tiny sister jump out the truck. I walked up to her and linked my arms with her.
"They stare to much" I giggled at my sister and we entered the building looking for the office. After finding it and getting our sceduels and maps. We both traded papers to see if we had any classes together. I saw I had math and gym with her. I smiled.
At least we share gym. But she can't play because of how fragile she is due to her sickness. I frown and hand back her paper. She nodds knowing what I'm thinking. I grab her hand we separate shortly after that to find our lockers.
Ella's POV
I find my locker and put my jacket and other stuff I don't need yet in it. I take out my sweater Bella got me last Christmas and put it on. As I shut my door I see a guy with a leather jacket and a violin case. He sighs as he puts his stuff in and out of his locker. I look away before he catches me staring. I pull my bag on my shoulder and turn to head to my first class. I turn to find him staring at me. I blush and so does he. I smile a little to him and turn and walk away.
He was so cute! I laugh at myself as I find my first class, which is English. I walk in and hand my slip to the teacher to sign. He smiles warmly. He was old with nice perfect comb back gray hair and nice shaven gray bread and mustache. I can tell I'm going to like him.
"Why hello you must be Ms. Ella Swan" I smile and nod at his rich deep voice. He smiles more "Well Ms. Swan you pick where ever you want to sit" I nod and look for a seat. I find a seat near the back corner and make my way towards there.
I sit and wait for the class to get full. I look to see we are reading and learning Pride and Prejudice. My sisters favorite book. I smile a little.
"Excuse me" I look up to see a guy about 6'1 with honey looking eyes and bronze hair staring down at me. I blush when I realized I'm staring.
"Yes?" I see him smile a little and he hands me my glasses case that must of fell out my bag.
"You dropped this" I smile kindly to him and take it from him.
"Thank you, I didn't realize it fell from my bag" I exclaimed putting it back in my bag and making sure it won't fall out again. He smiled and chuckled.
"You're welcome" He sits in the desk next to mine and out stretches his hand "I'm Edward Cullen, welcome to Forks" I beamed at him and shook his hand. It was so cold. I couldn't help the shiver, but somehow touching him made me feel welcomed and safe.
"Hello Edward, I'm Ella Swan, thanks for welcoming me" He laughed a little and released my hand. I turned to the front to see Mr. Rodgers passing out the books "How long have you guys been reading this book for?" I turn to Edward who is glaring at blonde girl who is whispering to a brunette. He turns to me and his face softens.
"For about a week now" I nod and smile to Mr. Rodgers.
"Have you read this book Ms. Swan?" I nod my head a little. And take the book from him.
"My sister Bella Swan loves this book, and she would sometimes read it a loud to me" He smiled warmly and walked away. I turned to Edward smiling from me to the teacher.
"He likes you and your sister already" I laugh a little and look down to the book "Bella is your twin?" I look up at him and nod.
"Yeah, but me and her look nothing alike or act nothing alike" I smile and he smiles back.
"I'm sure if you're as beautiful and smart, your sister is just the same" I blush and grin and hide my face.
"You have a way with words Mr. Cullen" He chuckles and I smile. We both sometimes spoke to one another, but mostly paid attention to the teacher. His voice was so soothing and warm. I hope the rest of the teachers are the same as him.
I found out why Edward was glaring at the blonde girl. She was talking rude about me and my sister to the other girl. I just shook it off and ignored her. When the bell rang I put my notebook and pencil away. Tomorrow we will be assigned partners for the project on the book. I hope I don't get neither of those two girls. But I hope I get Edward. I don't have a crush on him, but I already consider him my friend.
As I got up from my seat, Edward turned to me.
"What class you have next? I can walk you to it if you like" I smiled at him. He was such a gentlemen.
"I have History next, and that would be nice of you to accompany me" He bowed a little and I giggled.
"My brother has that class, his name is Jasper Hale" He said as we walked a long side each other. He was really tall and I felt so tiny next to him, but he didn't seem to notice or tease about "He's a bit shy, but I know he will help you with anything you need" I smiled and started picturing what he may look like "Also he's my adopitive brother, not biological" I nodded.
We walked the rest to class in comfortable silence. As we drew near I turned to Edward.
"Thank you for walking me to class, I hope we can be friends" He smiled softly at me.
"The pleasure is all mine Ms Swan, and believe me, I already consider you a friend" He took my hand and kissed it gently. I blushed "Now get to class before you're late" I giggled and entered the classroom.
Sorry if any of the characters seem OOC in my book, but I hoped you guys enjoyed.
