A/N: Hey guys! Um… here is the next chapter! That's all I have to say!
Disclaimer: Don't own Twilight, I'm just playing in Stephenie Meyer's sandbox!
Oh and, before I start the chapter, I would like to dedicate this chapter to… drum roll please
zinthafan!
I awoke to a low annoying buzzing sound. Gah! This is too early! This school started an hour earlier than my last one.
I warily got up out of bed, and made my way towards the bathroom. I undressed myself, turned on the shower and stepped in.
Whoa… this is… FREEZING!
I quickly jumped back out of the shower. The water in there literally was freezing. I guess it takes awhile for the water to heat up.
I cautiously stuck my toe back into the evil shower and realized that it was perfect temperature. Or so I hoped.
I stepped back in, and realized that it was indeed, the perfect temperature. I started washing my hair with my lovely smelling strawberry shampoo, and ten rinsing it out.
After I finished scrubbing and washing everywhere, I stepped back out. I grabbed my clothes and put them on.
I ended up wearing some sweats that I had gotten for the Phoenix football team, and my navy blue shirt. I tried to do what I could with my hair, just like putting it up in a ponytail, or possibly braiding it…but I couldn't. I'm horrible at hair. I mean absolutely horrible.
Have you ever heard of a cheerleader that can't even put her own hair up into a ponytail? I don't think so.
All the other girls on my squad could do their hair perfectly, and apply their makeup so that they look more like super models rather than cheerleaders; but me- no way. I could barely manage my hair, and when I tried to do my makeup… let's just say that it doesn't turn out so good.
Forgetting about my makeup, and barely managing to put my hair up in a ponytail, I strode out of the bathroom, feeling slightly proud about myself.
Maybe today will be ok… I thought. Maybe people here aren't that different than people in Phoenix. Maybe it's not too late for volleyball tryouts-
I couldn't finish thinking of all the possibilities because the next thing I saw was the ground, and all I could feel was my arm. In which I had landed on.
I could hear Charlie running in my direction. "Bella! Bella! Are you alright?" he asked, helping me up.
He touched my arm and I winced in pain. "Ooh," he said. "Um… here, let's take you to the hospital. Just to make sure that everything is fine."
"The hospital Dad?" I asked. "But we don't have enough time, I have to get to school and you have to get to work!"
"Nonsense Bella! The hospital is only 5 minutes away." Phht I should have expected that. "Come on, let's get u in the car."
He helped me walk to his car, open the door and strapped me in. It's my first day here and yet I have already caused myself physical harm. Great job Bella! You deserve a medal for that one.
Literally 5 minutes later, we pulled into a parking lot marked: PATIENTS. I silently groaned; I didn't want to be here.
Charlie got out of the car, walked around the hood and opened my door. I already had my seatbelt undone, so all I had to do was get out.
Charlie and I slowly walked into the building. The first thing I saw was a chick behind the desk named Veronica.
"Hi Chief Swan!" she said. After about a minute of her gazing up at him, she finally noticed me. "Oh! What have we got here? Hmm… I'll go get Carlisle. You can go sit down." She said. We walked to a little area that had some chairs in it and waited for this doctor.
"You're lucky Bella, Carlisle is the best doctor in the whole town." He said.
"Really? I guess I am lucky then." I agreed.
We sat for a moment in silence before Veronica came out with guys and a girl behind her.
"Ms. Swan, this is Dr. Cullen." She said. The first man stepped forward and he was incredibly gorgeous. He could be a movie star or a model by just by being alive.
He stepped forward. "Carlisle please. You must be Isabella. You're father has told me about you." He said. He held out his hand to shake, and I shook with my non-injured hand.
"It's nice to meet you Carlisle." I said. "And please, call me Bella."
"Bella." He repeated. "It's nice to meet you too. These are my kids, Alice," the girl that I saw standing behind Carlisle step forward.
She was very pretty. She was about 4'10, she was really thin, and kind of looks like a pixie. She had really cute black spiky hair.
"Hi Bella!" she said. "I'm Alice!" she came up and gave me a kiss on the cheek. That was something I really wasn't expecting.
"Hi Alice." I answered. She stood next to me.
"And this," Carlisle continued. "Is my son Edward." Edward stepped up next to his father. He was the same height as Carlisle, about 6'2, he had messy auburn colored hair, and a crooked grin plastered onto his face. But his eyes, they were an amazing topaz gold color. They were spectacular. Then I noticed tat Carlisle and Alice had the same eyes. But his just seemed to be… dazzling.
He stepped closer to shake my hand but he froze. His beautiful eyes seemed to darken and his relaxed body seemed to tense.
"It's nice to meet you Bella." He said, his voice tough and his body rigid.
"It's… nice to meet… you too Edward." I said, barely managing to have my voice come out steadily enough make me sound normal.
I could hear him chuckle. It was really low though, lower than I've ever heard before.
"Well, let's check up your arm Bella." Carlisle said.
He had me sit down, and started checking out my arm. He concluded that it was just a sprained wrist and wrapped it up with an ace bandage.
"Well, I have to go to the station. Do you need a ride to school Bella?" Charlie asked.
"Um.. I don't-" I wasn't able to finish my sentence because Carlisle answered for me.
"Nonsense. Edward can take Bella to school." He said with certainty.
"Oh, um are you sure?" I asked. What in the world would I do? Edward was making it hard enough to think right now but imagine if I'm in a car with him?!
"Positive." He answered. With that concluded, Charlie nodded, and told me that he'd see me after school today and good luck, and then headed out the door.
I turned to Edward who was now standing next to Alice.
"Carlisle… my car is out of gas." He said. His voice was so alluring…
"Oh well," he said, "just take my car. I'll have Esme come and pick me up."
Who was Esme? Was that his wife? Wait what? Edward and Alice look too old to be Carlisle's kids… what's going on?
"Ok!" Alice said. She grabbed hand and led me out to a black Mercedes, Edward was following close behind.
Edward got into the drivers seat, Alice let me sit in the passenger's seat and she climbed into the back.
Edward and Alice asked different questions during the trip to school. Like what was my favorite thing about Phoenix, they asked about my Mom, and Phil, Edward asked about any of my previous boyfriends. That was embarrassing. I suspected someone like him must have had hundreds of girlfriends. I haven't really had any.
I mean, a lot of guys have asked me out; I just always rejected them because I knew that they were all jerks… which they were.
When I said this, Edward got a smug look on his face and Alice smacked the side of his head from the back seat.
We finally got to the school and Edward dropped me out at the front office and Alice got out with me to show me around.
We walked into the office together and Alice took immediate action. "Ms. Cobb?" she asked.
The lady that I assumed to be Ms. Cobb looked up. "Yes dear?"
"This is Bella Swan, she's new here, it's her first day." She told her.
"Oh yes! Isabella! Charlie was talking about you!" Does Charlie call me Isabella behind my back here? Because that's what everybody seems to know me as. "Well, here is your schedule." She proceeded to give me a map of the school, highlighting each class.
Alice looked at my schedule, and then looked disappointed. "Darn. We don't have any classes together. But we can still sit next to each other at lunch!" I nodded; not being able to share her enthusiasm.
She thanked Ms. Cobb, led me out of the office and we bumped into a guy who was as beautiful as she was.
"Oh Jasper!" She looked at him in the eye. "Jasper, you'll never guess!" she exclaimed.
"Uh, Alice…is this something you want to say in-front of everybody?" he asked. I looked around, there indeed was a lot of people.
"Oh, right. Um… Bella your class is right over there," she said pointing in the opposite direction. "I'll see you at lunch. I need to talk to Jasper!"
As I walked away, I could hear her say to him, "Jasper! Edward's going to change her!" What that meant, I didn't know. I wasn't too concerned with it right now; right now I was concerned with getting to my first period class without being late. Who cares what that meant, 'Edward's going to change her'?
But little did I know that Edward changing me would be the biggest thing that ever happened to me.
A/N: Hey! I hope that this chapter was a little longer than the last one! And- as always, review!
