We walked through the sliding glass doors into the dining hall. It had white washed walls that were covered in canvases. Two long tables were in the middle of the large room. I followed Bella towards the serving line, getting a closer look at the paintings adorning the walls as we got closer. Most were dark and twisted. It was like someone had made themselves throw up but all her problems and secrets had come up instead of undigested food. Some on the other hand, were bright and primary colored. Are these pictures of innocence before things got so bad or peace after it all went away?

People recognized Bella as we walked through the line, one women in particular.

"Hello Bella! How are you today?" she asked, looking genuinely concerned. She had a heart shaped face with warm, glowing eyes. Soft caramel colored waves framed her face

"Fine, thank you. Oh this is my new roommate Rosalie. Rose, this is Mrs. Cullen."

The gentle woman gave her a playful swat. "Please, call me Esme. What was your name again dear?'

I shook the hand she offered me. "Rosalie. Rosalie Hale."

"Really?" she near squealed, her entire face lighting up. "I'm assigned to be your counselor as well!" Maybe this won't be too mad. Esme doesn't look like she's ever been mad in her life.

As we continued down the line, I leaned down to Bella. "Is she always that sweet?" Bella smiled and nodded,

"She can't have any kids herself, so she throws herself into her job. She's basically like our mom while we're here. Except more. I tell her stuff I wouldn't dream of telling Renee."

"Renee?"

"My mom."

"Oh." I said simply, not wanting to pry.

Thankfully we were at the end of the line at a table where a blond man sat. He was in his late 20's and incredibly good looking.

"Who is that?!"

Bella grinned. "That is Dr. Cullen, Esme's husband. Gorgeous huh?

"Most definately!"

The girl in front of us was having an argument with the afore mentioned doctor.

"But Dr. Cullen, I'm just not hungry for more than this. I've been doing homework all day. I don't need the extra calories..." the girl said quietly, sounding near tears.

"Please don't lie Cynthia. I have your folder right here and you ran 2.4 miles. I'm afraid you'll have to go back and get more food."

The girl turned, defeated, and I caught a glimpse of a pair of familiar big brown eyes. I gasped. Was this Cynthia, Alice's sister?

"Hello Bella, let me look at your tray." Dr. Cullen looked over her dinner. "Well I would rather you have more grains than that." He thought for a moment. "But I suppose you did have a good share at lunch, okay." Bella thanked him and went to go find us seats.

"Ah, someone new! You must be...Rosalie?" he queried shuffling through the folders on his desk finally finding mine.

"Yes that's me."

"Well let's see.....meats, grains, vegetables...It says here you had apple juioce at breakfast and an orange at lunch. Okay, you're good to go! Have a nice afternoon."

As I turned to go find Bella, the guy who helped me move in came to mind. Emmett McCarty. I was the first to admit, I'm a sucker for dimples. And boy, did he have dimples!

Shaking myself from my daydream I went and sat by Bella and began eating.

After we finished eating we started talking about home. Bella's parents were divorced, she lived with her mom for 17 years but recently moved with her dad to a small town near Seattle. She wanted to be an English Teacher when she graduated. And her best friend Jacob had helped her fix up a pair of motorcycles once.

Before she had the chance to ask me about my life I looked down at my watch. 15 minutes since I finished eating.

"Uh, where's the bathroom?" She gave me a knowing look.

"Down that hall. Second door on the left."

"Thanks." I got up and walked in the direction she pointed. I went through the door and locked it behind. Time to leave my problems behind.
