It was now 8:00, the van had been unpacked and I was mid-way through unpacking everything into my new room. I had come to appreciate Alice and somewhat Rosalie's kindness for letting me have the room with the best view, I was a small room, plain white walls and a cute window seat. I recently put a few throw pillows on it and a blanket when I was decorating to give this dull room some color.
My back was starting to hurt from all the bending I was doing and my bookshelf is not even half of the way full. I could hear a small knock at my door and turned to see Alice with a plate of food and a small smile. "Me and Rosalie went and got some dinner while you were unpacking and you looked busy so we didn't want to disturb you, but we brought you some food"
I was shocked to say the least, "Thanks Alice That was really nice of you"
Her smile brightened and she bounded over to give with the plate of food before jumping onto my bed. "So Bella where are you from?"
"I moved from Phoenix, but I use to live close to here when I was little, in Forks with my dad"
"Wow, that's a long way, I bet you miss everyone back in phoenix" She rocked back and forth with her legs crossed with a look of sympathy on her face.
"No one to miss" I answered simply with a shrug. I was glad Alice brought me some food, because I was absolutely starving. Before she could ask what I meant I asked "Where did you get the food from?"
"Oh I just got it from the Chef down in the kitchen, he only cooks us dinner, and any other time of the day we have to go to the cafeteria, which isn't that bad, and the food is always nice" I just nodded in response, "Why did you decide to come to SFX"
"I heard that at least 80% of the seniors get accepted into an Ivy. I've always wanted to go to an Ivy, Harvard is my absolute dream" I've had a passion for Law since I was little, mostly because of Charlie but if I wanted to make my dream a reality I feel like Harvard would be the best place to get me where I need to go, "What about you Alice, why did you come to SFX"
"My father wanted me and my brothers to go the best school in the country, he wanted us to have a great education and he found the best school, which happened to be a selective boarding school, so he sent us here"
"And that doesn't make you angry that he just sent you and your brothers away like that?" I know I'd be angry getting sent away from my family without my approval.
"No no, of course not, we know that dad just wanted to do right by us and he comes to visit all the time. So it's normal, we see him the same amount we did when we lived with him, he's a doctor, and so he was always gone and left us with our mom. Besides, we really like it here"
A dad doctor, I can't even imagine how little she saw him, a doctors job is just as unpredictable as a police officer, and I know how much I saw Charlie when I was younger. Which wasn't much.
"Well it's getting late I'm going to head off to bed, big day tomorrow! Your uniform should be hanging up in the bathroom" I smiled at Alice as she jumped off my bed and bounced out of the room, "Classes start at 9:00, goodnight Bella!" She called over her shoulder.
I left the half empty boxes of books on the floor and jumped into bed, setting my alarm for 8 and turning off my beside table light. I couldn't help but he extremely nervous, this was so different from what I was use to and I was all alone, with no one familiar to guide me, at least I had Alice and Rosalie, I think.
"Good morning sunshine!"
I Groaned and rolled over which made me face to face with the person who woke me up, Alice.
The clock on the side of my bed alerted me that it was only 7:00, an hour before my original wake up time. "Alice its only 7, I'm going back to sleep"
"Um you're not! Because we need to get up, get ready, put our faces on, have some breakfast and get to class!" Whilst she said this she bounced on my bed and flapped my sheets, making a chilly breeze.
"Alice I don't wear makeup, so I don't need to put on my face" At that sentence she stopped bouncing.
"You don't what?"
"I don't wear makeup, I can't apply it and I have no need to wear it" her eyes only widened in surprise at my response.
"But don't you want to feel beautiful?" She asked softly.
I groaned again and pressed my face into the pillow, I muffled a no in the fabric.
"Get up, I'm putting some make up on that face of yours"
No matter how much of a struggle I made she still managed to drag me to the bathroom and pester me with thousands of brushes and liquids and powders. There was plucking and pain, Makeup being applied to places I didn't even know you could apply makeup, like your eyebrows?! Who puts makeup on their eyebrows? Well I do now apparently.
"Done!" Alice stepped back and clapped her hands "Oh Bella you look amazing"
She stepped to side and let me see and honestly, I didn't even recognize my face, my skin looked a bit darker but not so much that you could really point out the difference in my skin tone on my face and my neck, my cheeks were pink and my eye lids were a light bronze color, lined with some black eyeliner and mascara. I'd never seen my eyelashes so long. It looked natural and that was my favorite thing about it. I had to admit, she did a good job.
"You like?" I nodded in approval.
"But I can't do this every day, I have no idea how to apply it, id ruin it"
Her little frame shook as she laughed, "Bella don't fret! We live together now! I can always do it for you and ill teach you along the way! It's easy and defiantly not as hard as you make it sound!"
"Thank you Alice" I smiled at her and grabbed my uniform that was hanging off the back of the door, "Time to get ready, shoo!"
She quickly left the bathroom while I changed, the uniform was nice, Light Blue button up shirt and a pleated and plaid blue skirt, Light blue long socks that came to above my ankle and of course my leather ballet flats. I looked completely different, older, despite me wearing a school uniform.
Alice knocked on the door and stuck her head in, "Time to go, you ready?"
"As I'll ever be,"
That chapter was just a little bit of Bella and Alice bonding! Her first day will be in the next chapter! Hope you all enjoyed! Tell me what you think! xx
