The house, well actually it looked more like a villa, was a pretty little building on a gateway community. I was surprised by the size , on the outside it looked tiny, but on the inside well it was massive. The kitchen dinning room and living room was all open. Just off the dinning room was a hall which had the bedrooms off it. Mum made big deal of showing me round then showing me the community.

"And the last room on the tour is yours, here you are.' She said opening the door. My room was huge, the bed looked really comfy and the bathroom and closet looked spacious. They looked just slightly smaller than Alice's. Everything I thought, now had something do with the Cullen's. At least this place looked like a place that could make you forget certain things. Like the Cullen's.

At dinner I told mum and Phil how I planned to spend my day wandering, exploring and thinking, they both thought it was a good idea. I thought I would hit the local pool rather than our own in our back garden. When I first arrived I couldn't figure out what the point was in having a local pool when all the homes one the gateway had their own, but wondering around I realized the community was very close.

I hit the pool quite late into the morning. Phil had gone to work, coaching baseball at the local high school since he couldn't get signed as a baseball player. Also mum had gone to work. I was quite surprised mum had got a job. The pool wasn't as crowded as I thought it would be. In fact, there were only about 7 people there including me, the lifeguard and the cashier.

When I was at the pool, I met a girl who reminded me slightly of Angela, I met her when I tried to use her locker. Surprisingly she didn't snap at me like I thought she would have, she introduced herself.

"Hi, I'm Elena, Elena Howard."

"Hi , I'm Bella. I'm sorry about this , I didn't realize it was yours."

"Oh. Don't' worry about it, it's only a locker. So are you new on the gateway, I haven't seen you around before."

"Yes I am. I've just moved in with my mum."

"Oh. So do you wanna go for a coffee or something?" she asked.

I hesitated, was I ready to make a new friend, I mean I cut myself off from everyone for so long.

"Oh. That was stupid of me. I mean you've only just met me and you've probably got plans." Elena murmured.

"Oh. No. Sorry. I was just thinking. Coffee sounds cool."
