Chapter 2

Making New Friends

Bpov

As soon as Jacob had dropped me off, I headed straight into the kitchen. There was a note pinned to a small notice board which hung on the wall just above the kitchen sink.

It had read

Dear Bella,

Sorry I could not come and collect you from the airport earlier on this evening. I was very eager to see you again after such a long time. I hope you and Jacob caught up on things. He was so nervous when I had told him you were coming. He was as eager as I was. In case you are hungry, there is some lasagne in the oven for you if you want it. I have the fridge stocked up in case you want to make yourself anything. I may not be home tonight until very late, so please don't wait up and I shall see you in the morning.

Dad

Poor Charlie he takes his work far too serious. He is so dedicated to it.

I wasn't hungry so I decided to head on up to my new room. I wasn't sure which door to choose so I took a wild guess and went for the door with the purple ribbon tied on the door handle. Purple was my favourite colour so that's why I picked that door.

As I opened the door my eyes widened with glee the room was indeed my room. The room was pained two shades of purple, a bright purple on the two walls facing each other and then on the other walls was a dim, murky purple. They coordinated lovely together just like in a sunset when the sea and sun combine. There was a double bed in the corner of the room. It had a pale purple silk duvet cover along with matching pillow cases and curtains. The lampshade was purple too. The carpet was a dark shade of purple and had light specks of purple through it. Charlie had really out done himself by doing this, it was so nice of him and I'm sure it must have cost him a fortune.

I walked over to the window and looked out. I could barely see out because of the pounding rain and the dark night didn't help matters either.

I suddenly felt a bit dizzy. Lack of sleep was getting to me I thought.

I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen to get my bags, but then it hit me I had left them in Jacobs truck. How stupid could I have been?

I searched in drawers about the house for a phone book, but I couldn't find one anywhere.

Then I had remembered that Charlie never kept a phone book, he always stuck them onto the fridge with magnets.

I walked over to the fridge and there was a whole pile of sheets with names and numbers written on them.

I took them down and started searching for Jacobs's number. Then I came across the name Black. I scrolled down through the names that were under Black and one name suddenly caught my eye, it was Jacob's. I put all the sheets back up on the fridge apart from the one with Jacob's number and dialled it.

It started ringing so I waited for a reply when a deep voice blared out from the phone saying "hello". I spoke back telling him it was me and that I had forgotten my bags and I asked him could he drop them off. He said that it was no bother and that he would swing by in half an hour.

To pass the time I decided to wash the dishes that were left in the sink. There wasn't much, all that was there were a plate and a fork.

I had the dishes done in no time and there was still at least another twenty-five minutes until Jacob would arrive.

There was really nothing I could do, because I never really watched television unless it was a movie version of a book I had read.

There was nothing I could do.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. I thought Jacob was early but sure at least I wouldn't be bored out of my head waiting for him.

I got up and walked over to the door and could hear a high pitched female voice. Then I could barely hear a male's voice.

I thought it must've been some people for Charlie, unless it was Jacob with some girl. I opened the door and stood right in front of me was a small girl who had short dark brown spiky hair and a huge grin on her face. She looked sort of like a fairy, or wait a pixie. Yes that was it; pixie was the word to describe her. Then stood next to her was a boy of medium height with blonde hair. They both seemed like the type of people that you could get along with easily.

The pixie girl was holding a basket with flowers and chocolates in it with a bow tied on the top with a small card. I wasn't close enough to see what was written on the small card.

I said "hello" respectfully to them. They smiled back and said "welcome to our town". I told them that Charlie wasn't here at the moment but I could give him a message if they liked.

They said they were only here to welcome me into the neighbourhood.

Although I had only known them for a couple of minutes I invited them in for a drink and a snack. Seeing as they drove all the way here it would be rude to turn them away without thanking them properly. I led them into the living room which was connected to our kitchen and asked them what would they like to drink. They both said water at the same time. They were holding hands when sitting beside each other so I assumed they were a couple. I handed them the glass of water and I also opened a packet of biscuits on a plate and some bars of chocolate. We started talking by asking each others names. The small pixie girl was called Alice and the boy was called Jasper. There last names were Cullen. I was kind of confused at that as I assumed earlier that they were a couple. Alice saw the confusion in my face and it was like she could read my mind and started talking" Jasper and I were adopted, were not blood related and we are a couple, because most people have a confused look in their faces when we say our last names just like your face a moment ago and we always go through this explanation. Alice was very hyper and energetic whilst Jasper was calm and very quite. We all seemed to get along like a house on fire.

There was a knock on the door and I excused myself from Alice and Jaspers presence.

I answered the door and it was Jacob. I smiled at him warmly. In his hands were my bags and luggage. I invited him in from the pouring rain. I led him into where Alice and Jasper were sitting. I asked him to stay for something to drink and eat and he agreed happily until he turned around and saw Alice and Jasper and he said as fast as he could "I have to go actually, Billy will be looking for me".

I sighed and gave him a hug and thanked him for bringing my bags over.

I led him to the door and just before he left he gave Alice and Jasper the most revolting look and just before I could say something about his evil glare at them he had slammed the door in my face.

I was disgusted with his behaviour, what had I done? What had Alice and Jasper done?

I turned to Alice and Jasper. Jasper said calmly "we don't get along well with Jacob Black". I nodded at them saying no more about it as it was none of my business.

All three of us continued chatting like we were before Jacob had come along.

Alice and Jasper lived with three other siblings. They were all adopted too. They were Rosalie, Emmet and Edward. Emit and Rosalie were also a couple. There foster parents were Carlisle and Esme.

Alice was telling me how all of Forks knew about the new comer. Charlie Swans daughter is what I was known as.

We all chuckled at that.

There was another knock on the door and I excused myself once again from Alice and Jaspers presence and walked up to the door.

I opened the door slowly and stood right there in front of me was a god.

He was tall, with bronze coloured hair, and emerald green eyes and he had very pale skin. His face looked like it had been carved by angels. You could see his perfectly sculpted muscles through his shirt.

I couldn't speak; I was speechless for about 2 minutes staring at him.

Finally when I knew I could talk again I said "hi" to him. Then I felt it, my face was going bright red. I could feel the heat in my face.

He opened his mouth to speak back, but then a tall, blonde haired girl came up behind him asking him "are they ready yet" he replied back by saying "I was just about to ask".

Alice must have heard what was going on and she came up behind me and squeezed past me and squealed and introduced me to them.

The bronze haired god was called Edward and the blonde was called Rosalie. I immediately knew that they were the people Alice had told me about earlier. It was her foster brother and sister.

Then behind them came a huge male. He had incredible muscles and was so scary that I backed away quickly and tripped over my own feet. I closed my eyes waiting for the collision between me and the ground. BANG!!

I could see complete darkness for a moment and then I could see faces all blurred around me.

I opened my eyes fully to see all five faces staring down at me like I was some sort of creature that they had never seen before.

Alice held her hand out towards me and asked in a concerned tone "Bella are you alright?"

I took her hand and tried to get up but failed miserably and fell again hitting hard against the floor.

This time I got up and helped my self up.

All I could hear were high pitched giggles; I turned to see who it was it was Alice.

She apologised greatly about giggling at my second fall. I chuckled at her replying "its okay Alice I am very clumsy, you were bound to find out soon enough and I don't mind you laughing. I'm used to it".

Then the god I now called Edward appeared from behind the huge male who I still didn't know and said impatiently "Carlisle and Esme are bound to be worried seeing as were out so late at night and I think we should get home".

You could see in his eyes he meant every word he said. He didn't want to worry Carlisle or Esme.

Alice then introduced me to the huge male and told me his name was Emmet.

I greeted him politely then Alice asked me "Bella can I have your number, please?"

I replied very eager with a jolly "yes".

Alice and I exchanged numbers and she gave me a hug before she was dragged away by the rest of her family and they all said goodbye Bella and see ya Bella and later bells. Everyone had said goodbye to me apart from Edward he just looked at me like I was a creature from a distant planet.

I waved at them and shouted "goodbye"!!!

I went back in locking the door behind me and looked at the time it was twelve o 'clock. I gathered up the plate of biscuits and chocolate bars. I wrapped them up in tin foil and put them back in the cupboard.

I walked over to the sink and washed the plate and put it away.

I grabbed my bags and carried them upstairs to my room.

I unpacked all of my clothes and folded them neatly into the chest of drawers.

I then unpacked my bag of books and set them on the shelves.

I quickly changed into my pyjamas and hopped into bed.

I closed my eyes and went to sleep.

A/N I made this chapter longer, so please R+R.

Give me advice on anything you think is bad.
