"The Cullens"
Chapter 2
Bella found herself staring into the hazel of eyes of the most gorgeous male she had ever laid eyes on. His hair was bronze and wild, and his chiseled face held a surprisingly worried expression. Bella had never been this close to so much male beauty before.
"Hey, are you okay?" the angel asked again.
Bella was so baffled that all she did was stare at the mysterious boy, until he started to help her up.
"Hi, im Edward. I'm guessing your new in town?" he asked while looking at Bella's now dirt ridden pull over and jeans with a smirk on his face. Bella could feel her cheeks heating up, and cursed herself silently for her annoying, uncontrollable blush. She finally gained her composure and replied.
"Umm..yeah i'm..." until she was cut off by her mother screaming in the distance.
"I gotta go" Bella said as she began climbing back over the gate to her new home.
"Wait, I didnt get your name" she could hear the gorgeous boy call in the distance, and cursed herself for being so nervous around him,or any teenage male for that matter but she knew how much Renee worried, and did not want to hear a lecture on being careful in her new neighborhood.
When she finally reached back home she was completely out of breath and slumped down in the grass and closed her eyes. All she could think about was the golden eyed boy that she just encountered, until she was interrupted by Renee's worried yell once again.
"Mom, i'm fine. I'm right outside" Bella yelled.
"Okay honey, can you hurry inside Phil just got a call from the neighbors and they want us to come over for dinner."
"Oh great" Bella thought, dinner with the new prissy neighbors. She dragged herself from the grass and headed to her new room to get cleaned up.
Renee tried her best to force her into a skirt that she bought a few weeks ago, but Bella chose to wear her usual denim jeans, with her black converse, but still wore a white top that was way to girly for her that Renee was able to force on her. Bella's hair was still a mess after falling out of the tree house so she tried her best to tame it and place it in a pony tail. When she was finally ready she headed downstairs to meet both her mother and Phil dressed formally from head to toe.
"Oh, were having dinner with those kind of people huh?" Bella thought as they headed out the door. When they finally reached out the gate of the neighbors home, she realized that her new house was no way near as enormous as this one was. It was pure white, and Victorian. The windows were gorgeous and the landscape was phenomenal. In the distance Bella could see what looked like a group of people standing at the head of the entrance waiting for us to approach. When they finally got to the door they were greeted by the most beautiful set of people Bella had ever laid eyes on, which gave Bella a feeling of familiarity, until the noticed that the same man i front of her was her new dean. Dr. Carlisle Cullen.
"Hello, my name is Carlisle Cullen, and this is my family." the blonde beautiful man had said. He had a warm smile and looked way too young to own a house this spectacular, better yet have a family of his own. As Bella scanned the rest of his family she noticed a very thin beautiful pixie faced girl that gave her a warm smile, and a big brawny guy that towered over Phil who played pro ball, but seemed very warm despite his outward appearance.
"These are my kids, Alice and Emmett. We do have another but Edward is upstairs cleaning himself up." he said.
The Cullens invited them in, and the inside was just as amazing as the outside. As Bella took everything in she was interrupted by the girl named Alice.
"Hi, my names Alice, your Isabella right?" she asked in a very sweet voice.
"Umm..yeah but its just Bella."
"I am so psyched that I actually have a girlfriend that's my neighbor!" she squealed as she gave Bella a genuine smile.
Bella never had any girlfriends and by looking at Alice's clothing she could tell that she loved to shop, which was something Bella never really liked to do, but she knew that Alice was genuine and seemed really nice. Bella smiled at Alice until she was gripped in the tightest hug she had ever experienced.
"Bella my girl. It's good to have you in the neighborhood" Emmett said when he finally placed her on the floor.
"Good to know." Bella said after she was able to catch her breath. She felt at ease at once, knowing that at least she had some friends in this godforsaken town.
"Hey Bella i'm going shopping in a minute, wanna join me?", Alice asked.
Bella knew this was bound to happen and tried to come up with a good excuse.
"I...umm...I promised my mom I would stay for dinner..maybe next time though?" Bella asked without any enthusiasm.
Alice laughed. "I knew the minute I saw you that you weren't the shopping type, but after spending time with me you will be." she said that winked.
Bella cringed inwardly knowing that Alice really meant what she said, but continued looking around the house finally having some peace and quiet. Apparently it would only be her, and the parents at dinner. Seeing that Alice was gone and Emmett had football practice.
Bella walked up the large spiral steps and found a den that was filled with books upon books. Her face lit up like a kid in a candy store as she scanned through all the classics. She saw Jane Austen, Shakespeare, and a variety of authors that she grew up reading. Bella scanned through more shelves until she spotted a classic copy of her favorite book of all time, Wuthering Heights. She knew that she shouldn't be in this room in the first place, but she knew that this opportunity to hold a classic copy of Wuthering Heights was too good to pass up. She stepped on the opening of the book shelf and climbed the other, until she finally got to the book. She stretched her entire body to reach the book and finally grabbed it.
"Yes, I got it!" she said to herself.
"Hey, who are you and what are you doing in here?" she heard a familiar voice ask.
Bella knew who it was at once, remembering the boy she practically ran away from earlier. She felt her dreaded blush creeping up her cheeks, and turned to face him slowly, when she felt the bookshelf tipping over. She panicked and felt herself falling off the top shelf, and braced herself with the impact she would feel when all she felt were two strong warm hands. When she looked up she became captivated once again by those hazel eyes.
"You again?" the mystery boy asked with a gorgeous crooked smile. Bella blushed cherry red and stretched so that he would put her down. When she finally got herself together she built up the courage to speak.
"Yeah...umm...i'm Bella Swan. I just moved across the street with my mom and step dad."
"Oh so that explains why you were in my tree house today, but not why your in my den searching through my books. I'm Edward by the way. " he said with a look that looked genuinely curious.
"Ohh...ah...umm...I was just looking at your books. Im sorry for intruding." Bella said stumbling through her words. Edward smiled at her again, and Bella could feel her knees turning to jello.
"So, your the new girl my dad cant seem to stop bragging about?" Edward asked as he stepped closer to Bella.
"Umm...brag?" Bella said as she could feel herself freaking out. "Why is he getting so close?" she thought frantically.
"Yes...brag. You have one of the best transcripts he has ever seen, he couldnt wait to get you registered for Cullen Prep." he said until he finally stopped dead in front of Bella.
"Oh..yeah that...I guess i'm an over achiever." she forced out of her mouth with a sad tone.
"You say it like thats a bad thing?" Edward said to her.
"Well it kind of is...being smart is all I really had. It's not like I was popular or anything, I definitely dont have the looks for it, so studying and extra credit was how I filled my days back in Arizona. "
Bella was babbling and she knew it she also had no idea why she was telling this mystery boy about her feelings, but she was never able to let anything out, and couldn't stop once she started.
Edward just stared at Bella with a pure look of curiosity and tenderness in his eyes, until he finally said.
"I may not know you that well Bella Swan but i'm sure that you dont see yourself the way others do."
Bella stared at him, and he snubbed the end of her chin and turned to go out the door.
"Bella, are you up there?" she heard her mom calling as she broke out of her trance.
"Yeah mom, im coming."
Bella ran down the stairs, and wondered where Edward had gone. She was desperate to know what he meant about what he told her.
When dinner had started and the first course was served, Bella tried her best to include Edward in their conversation.
"Oh, Edward, yeah he's my youngest. He should be your age Bella." Dr. Cullen's wife Esme said with a smile.
"So he goes to Cullen Prep too I assume?" Renee asked.
"Oh yes, Edward id what the teens call it today "big man on campus". He's one of our top students." Carlisle said.
"Oh, so where is he now?" Bella asked without trying to seem too anxious.
"He should be at his girlfriends house. Her names Tanya. You'll meet her tomorrow when you start school I'm guessing." Carlise said.
Bella's hopes dropped suddenly. She knew that someone that beautiful was bound to be taken, and cursed herself for crushing on him in the first place. It's not like he would even give her the time of day anyway. Bella ate extra food than she could digest and couldnt wait to head home.
When she finally arrived at her new home, she stood out on the balcony, staring at the stars. She tried to think of one good thing that can come out of her moving, and was grateful for her new friend Alice, but still missed her old home. As she stared at the stars she took in the night air and finally convinced herself that the experience might not be as bad as she thought it would, until she remembered what she would have to face in the morning. Her first day at the elite Cullen Prep. Great.
