Chapter 4
Bella's POV
I will be the first tot admit that the only times I laid eyes on a boy besides the priest at the orphanage was when I met possible fathers and my new dad Carlisle. So I think you guys can sympathize with me when I say my heart skipped a beat when I met our dear neighbor Edward. I have never had the chance to be boy crazy. I grew up in an all girls orphanage with no TV's or magazines, I mean nothing! But I have to admit just seeing him with the bronze messy hair and those green eyes looking into mine make me blush.
Sitting around our huge dinning room table having dinner with all these people is kinda intimidating. I mean these are my parents friends and their friends kids. They have to like me because I don't want to know what will happen if they don't. Would Carlisle and Esme send me pack if their friends didn't approve of their new daughter.
"Bella I hope you like the casserole I made for dinner," Mrs. Masen says smiling at me.
"Its delicious Mrs. Masen. I've never had anything like it," I say to her. I mean its definitely creative with all the chicken, cheese, and some kind of vegetable. Its edible.
I hear Alice giggle while Emmett speaks up, "You don't have to lie Bella. We know our moms cooking is eccentric."
"No I'm serious! Its really good," I exclaim and look down. I can't believe I just freaked out like that in front of everyone.
"Hey its ok," Esme says while patting my hand. "Emmett likes to joke around a lot. You'll get used to it."
"Yeah I'm the jokester, Bells!"
Everyone chuckles while I smile shyly at him.
I stay quiet for the rest of dinner and just listen to them talk around me. I learn that I will be in the same classes as Rose, Alice, Jasper and Edward as a sophomore while Emmett is going to be a senior. Alice and Rose are on the dance team and think I should join, which Esme thinks is a great idea. She really doesn't know me yet. Jasper and Emmett play almost every sport and Edward was the only Freshman last year who played on the varsity baseball, which one the championship. I will be attending Country Day Creative Arts School in just two months, which is nerve wracking but exciting at the same time.
I excuse myself to my bedroom after dinner under the facade that I'm tired, which I am. Really.
I start to unpack what little personal belongings I have. Just my old books, some pictures, and a couple dolls I collected through the years. We weren't really showered with gifts at the orphanage so I have very little besides my clothes to call my own and after I put everything in its new place my room looks so bare. I guess Esme was right. We do need to go shoping.
"You have a lot of books?" I hear someone say from behind and spin startled, only to find Edward standing in my door way.
"Yeah. I have collected them through the years. I love to ready," I reply not really looking at him. If I do I'm afraid I would lose my ability to talk.
He nods and steps in, "It must be hard."
"What?"
"Starting a new life like this. I mean I have lived with these people pretty much my entire life and I still get speechless around them," he says.
"I just want you all to like me. I I feel like I need to have your approval," I say quietly. I have no idea why I just told him that. Uhh. What is it with him.
"Why?"
"You all are Carlisle and Esme's family. The closest thing they have to kids. If you all don't like me how could they," I say throwing my hands up and sitting on my bed. "I don't want them to send me back," I whisper, hoping he didn't hear me.
"I don't think they would do that," he says, of course he heard. I can hear him walk toward me as he asks if he can sit by me. After nodding he sits on my bed. Close enough that I can literally feel the heat radiating off of him.
"You don't know that.."
"I know Carlisle and Esme. Your right we are like a big family. Those two have been like a second set or parents to all of us. We grew up with them, around them. And I know for a fact that they would never send you back. Im sure they already love you, if they had any regrets they wouldn't have taken you here. That I can promise you." he says while looking at me.
I smile shyly and nod. Really not knowing what else to do. We sit in silence for a couple minutes. Its kinda awkward but comfortable in the same sense. I want so badly for them all to like me.
"Thank you"
"Your welcome," he says. "Hey why don't you come to the mall with us tomorrow? Its kinda like a start of summer tradition. That way you can get all your close for our big vacation at the end of the month."
Carlisle mentioned the vacation. Supposedly we are going to Miami for two weeks at the end of July.
"That would be fun. Of course I would have to ask Esme and Carlisle," I tell him.
"Of course"
He takes my number and I take his in my new phone. Before he leaves he tells me that he can't wait to get to know me more and with one last smile slips out of my door. I tell my parents goodnight and go to bed with a smile on my face because they gave me permission for the shopping trip. I can't wait for tomorrow.
Alice POV
My brother is acting weird and I think I know exactly why. Her name is Isabella. Ever since we met her he has been in a complete daze and when I saw him come from upstairs before we left I knew. I just knew! Isabella is what he has been waiting for.
I can see Bella becoming my best friend really quick. Rose and I always thought we needed another girl to level out the playing field and finally we have her. She seems really nice and I can't wait to get to know her more. I just have to get her and my brother together first.
A plan pops into my head as I grab my phone and dial a number I know by heart.
"Rose I have a plan...
