"Wake Up" Shelby came into the room and opened up the curtain. I did not know where that lady got her energy from.
"Why" I wined.
"Because it's the first day of senior year."
"The worst part of going to school is that there are no boys" I winced.
"Oh, there are boys because St. Mary's is next door to St. Joseph's Prep." She smiled. "Actually you guys pretty much share the whole campus and the campus is pretty much the size of an Ivy League College."
"Really? I wonder if there're cute guys there?"
"No, there are handsome guys there and did I mention rich just like you?" She said and winked at me.
"What do I have to wear? A uniform?" I laughed.
"Kinda, Its more a collection" She took me to my closet and pulled me over to the rack labeled Ralph Lauren Rugby.(Collection on profile) "This collection is mandatory to wear to school. You could mix and match the items. I believe you're going to like this school. I know I did."
"What!"
"I went to St. Mary's before."
"Really?"
"Ya, so here" She handed me a RUGBY TUNIC DRESS and matching socks and shoes.(Outfit on profile)
"Wow. I really like this."
"Ya so go hop in the shower so I can do your hair."
"Ok!"
When I was out of the shower I put on the dress and I looked into the mirror and I thought I looked like my mother. Instead of crying I went back to my room to meet Shelby.
"Ok, I'm going to leave your hair down today and put in soft waves."
"Ok"
When she was done I went down stairs to meet Grandmama in the dining room to eat breakfast.
"Isabella, you are going to meet your mother's best friend's daughter today. She is going to pick you up. Her name is Alice Cullen." Grandmama said.
"Do you mean Dr Carlisle and Esme Cullen?" I asked surprisingly.
"Yes."
"And didn't they go to school with my parents?"
"Yes. And the Hales" My parents were BFFs with them in high school and in college, but I really never met their kids. The last time I saw them was at my mother's funeral.
"Wow." Then the door bell rang.
"Miss Cullen and Miss Hale are here" The maid told us then the two girls walked in.
"Hi, I'm Alice, nice to meet you!" said the pixie with black short hair. In her own little way she had a lot of energy.
"Hi, I'm Rosalie" said the tall blond supermodel next to her. She kind of intimidated me, but she still had a warm smile.
"Oh my, It's like going back into the past" said my grandmother. "Have a good first day of school" Then I went over and kissed her on the cheek and said goodbye.
When we got into the limo the girls started asking questions." So do you like the Upper East Side?" they said in unison.
"I do it just that I'm kind of new here"
"It's ok we'll take care of you." said Rosalie.
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure" said Alice.
"Is it true that I won't have any classes with boys?"
"No they just say that because they want everyone to think that we're good little girls and boys." She smiled.
"Ok."
"But there might be a chance you will be the only girl in a classroom full of boys."
" Great. I'm fine with a few girls and a few guys."
"Don't listen to Alice she's just messing with you" said Rosalie.
"We're here" said the driver.
When I got out of the limo everyone was staring including all the teachers. "Why is everyone staring?" I asked.
"Because you're HOT!!" they yelled in unison. Then everyone stopped staring.
Then three guys walked up to us. They looked like models in their rugby style uniforms. One was big and muscular who kissed Rosalie on the lips. One was tall and blond, but still as muscular who hugged Alice. And the last one was really hot and boyish. He had messy bronze hair and piercing emerald eyes who was smiling at me.
"This is Emmett, Jasper, and Edward." Rosalie pointed out. "Everyone this is Bella Swan, Charlie and Renee's daughter."
"Hi!" Edward put out his hand and I shook it.
"Hi!" I smiled. Then the bell rang.
"We're all going to be late" Alice exclaimed. "Bella I'll take you to our homeroom. Bye guys!"
"Who are those guys?" I questioned.
"Jasper Hale is Rosalie's twin and my boyfriend. Emmett is my brother and Rosalie's boyfriend. Edward is my troublemaking of a brother" Alice said.
"What did he do?"
"He party's a lot and is kind of St Joe's bad boy"
"No way! He doesn't seem like that."
"But if looks could kill. Just be careful he likes new things including girls. I don't want him to hurt my new BFF" she smiled.
"Really?" I yelled enthusiastically.
"Ya!!"
"Thanks so much!!"
"Anytime, just be careful ok"
"Ok"
When I got to first period art class there were mostly girls. Great. Even better my grandmother signed me up for designing clothes. I love designing clothes it just that everyone will think that's the only thing I could offer. The girls in this class were really intimidating because I guess they knew who I was, the daughter of a former editor & chief and a grandmother with a fashion empire and very influential friends. This kind of caused me to be depressed and pressured causing me to be a party girl.
When I broke out of my train of thought the bell rang. I walked to the door until Lauren Mallory tripped me and Jessica Stanley laughing hysterically. My books fell on the floor so I had to pick them up until someone was helping me. Edward helped me up and started carrying my books.
"So how was that falling?" He asked with his velvet voice.
"I'm ok. Anyway thanks. Can I have my books back?"
"No, I'm taking you to your next class."
"Do you know where it is?"
"Yep. US History AP. Wow you must be really smart.
"Ya, thanks."
"No that's really good because the only thing these girls know is fashion. I thought you would be like the rest of them. I guess you know a lot."
"Well I guess you know who my family is really into fashion, but there is more to it than Prada and Chanel."
"Wow. So where do you want to go after high school?"
"Harvard"
"Me too." He said enthusiastically.
"Well this is my class thanks anyway" I smiled.
"Anytime"
When I got to sixth period lunch everyone was staring at me once again. When I said hi to Alice and Rose they both grabbed me and pulled me to the girls' bathroom. They both looked curious.
"SPEAK!" They said in unison.
"About what?" I said.
"You and my brother." Alice said with disgust.
"He just walked me to class and we talked" I said.
"What did you talk about?" Rose asked nervously.
"My beliefs and my future"
"Future as in——" Alice said with disgust.
"COLLEGE!!"
"OH THANK GOD" They said in unison.
"Why?"
"Because Edward told everyone that you guys were making out earlier." Rose said.
"That boy is SO SO DEAD" I said with venom. "Do I look HOT?"
"You always do. Why?" Alice had a questioned look.
"I'll show you."
When I got to the cafeteria I bought a strawberry milkshake and chocolate covered strawberries. I walked up to Edward and his friends and sat across from him. Alice and Rose had smiles on their faces while they watched from the sidelines. Everyone was staring and it was dead silent.
"Hi! Edward and boys" I smiled my flirtatious smile while they stared.
"Uh—" is all Edward managed to say. He cleared his throat while he finished talking to his guy friends.
While he was talking I grabbed a strawberry and ate it trying to be sexy. I guess it worked since the guys at this table had their mouths wide open including Edward. I could see Alice and Rose laughing so hard.
"Do you want some?" I offered them. They all did not answer. So to get more of Edward's attention I let my shoe touch his leg and stroke his shin lightly. The tip of my shoe went down and then worked its way up to his knee. I took my foot and split his legs and he froze and he was pale. My friends were still laughing.
The boys at the table were still clueless and so I started talking. "So does anyone know the rumor about me and Edward?" They didn't answer so I walked around the table and sat on his lap. Everyone in the room held their breath while I went out with my plan. I kissed Edward passionately in front of everyone for about a minute. I felt some electricity coming from his lips and I felt him kissing me back. I pulled away with a surprised look on his face. I smiled and whispered in his ear, "Never ever start a rumor about me again!" Then I poured my milkshake on top of his head and I walked away. Still, his face in shock.
"Wow, Bella you really surprised me there" Emmett said. He was still laughing with Jasper. I didn't see them standing next to Alice and Rose.
"That was the best scene I have ever seen and you did it in front of the whole rugby team including us" said Jasper.
"Wait rugby team?"
"Ya, did you know Edward is the Captain and technically the President of Student Council?" Rose asked.
"WHAT? I'm going to get into some huge trouble!!"
"I think you gained a lot of respect." Alice smile.
"Thanks."
After lunch I went to seventh period Biology, to my surprise there were all guys in this class and they were all checking me out, but there was one person who was really staring and it was Edward. He actually looked clean to me. I went to the teacher and told me to sit in the only available seat next to Edward. So I sat next to him with a frown on my face. I thought I just saw him smirk which made me more angry.
"Ok boys and girl" the teacher looked at me and resumed. "The person next to you will be your lab partner for the rest of the year." Great, goodbye Harvard. "Please try to get to know each other."
"Hi, Bella" is all Edward could manage.
"How was the milkshake?" I asked with venom.
"It was good. Anyway I deserved it I'm sorry" he said. I thought about, why not be just friends.
"It's ok you're not the first, I forgive you. Friends?" he winced at friends and then we shook hands and I still felt that electricity.
