Chapter four
I woke up when my alarm went off at 6.
I got up and a shower letting the hot water relax my muscles and the smell of strawberries filled the bathroom.
After a while the hot water ran out so I got out and dried myself.
I wrapped a towel around my head then I went to get dressed. I knew the new kids would show up today, so I decided to dress as what Alice would approve of.
I chose a green, long-sleeved top with blue skinny jeans. I put on white canvas shoes and a plain heart necklace with a black bag and a chequered purse. I grabbed a sliver jacket.
I looked in the mirror and decided to straighten my hair.
When I had finished my hair was straight and perfect. It matched my outfit perfectly.
I walked over to my dresser and looked at the makeup on the side- Charlie must have bought it for me in his attempt to make me more girly! Shaking my head I put on lip balm as usual.
I got to school 10 minutes early so I went to sit on the bench where I had once sat thinking about Edward.
I was looking at the woods thinking about the new kids when I felt someone sit next to me. I turned and saw Angela with a book.
I leant over her shoulder to see her reading Jane Eyre.
"Hey Ang. I can't believe you are finally reading it I've tried to get you to read it for ages!"
"Yeah I know. But I was bored last night so I picked it up and now I can't seem to put it down I was reading until two last night!"
When she said that I took the time to look at her and saw she had black circles under her eyes. I grabbed the book from her and put it in my bag.
"Now you can have it back tomorrow AFTER a good night's sleep. Okay?"
"Fine."
She sat there sulking until the bell rang. I grabbed her hand, gave her a hug and ran to Home room.
It was 20 minutes into the lesson when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Said Mr. Harp, he was annoyed because the knock had disrupted his reading. But his scowl soon disappeared when he saw who was at the door.
A girl of about 17 and a boy of 18 walked through the door.
"Hi, I'm Charlotte Harper and this is my adoptive brother William Harper. We've just moved here and this is our first class?"
Charlotte said ending in a question. She had long blonde hair that fell in a wave down to the small of her back. She had long thick lashes surrounding big brown doe eyes. She was tall and slender with a figure that belonged to a model. Her lips were plump and red and she was very pale but that didn't make her any less beautiful. Her outfit was a brown dress. It was simple but very pretty. It had lace lining the bottom of the hem it had beads down the middle and it had lace sleeves. She wore ballet flats with it. Brown of course!
I dragged my gaze from the beautiful Charlotte to William who was standing next to her looking around.
He had short ginger hair that came to his eyes. His eyes were a stormy gray that seemed to change colour as he moved his eyes around the class room. He looked exactly like a football player. He was also pale like his cousin. His clothes were a simple top in grey and grey jeans with black trainers
"Ummm. Well welcome." The teacher was at loss for words.
"We have seats for you. Charlotte you sit next to Bella. And William you sit next to Mike. Bella, Mike wave so they know who you are."
I lifted my hand and gave a small wave and a smile towards Charlotte and I was met with a smile back.
I moved my bag so she could sit down. And I saw out of the corner of my eye Mike moving over so William could sit down.
"Hi, my names Bella and I hope you like it here."
"Hi Bella, I'm Charlotte and I hope I like it here to." She said with a smile.
"So, I hear you're adopted? Whats that like?"
"Yeah I'm adopted. My parents died when I was five and then Oliver and Evangeline adopted me and William. They adopted me and William and also another boy called Damien he is younger than us he is only 16."
"I'm so sorry to hear about your parents. Mine are divorced and living in different states. And don't you have more siblings?"
"Yeah Oliver and Evangeline have two biological children, Harvey and Elizabeth. Don't tell anyone and please don't hate us and remember we aren't actually related but me and Harvey are together. So are William and Elizabeth. Please say you don't hate us!"
"No of course I don't hate you! And to be honest I knew before you got here. News travels fast in this town and my last boyfriend came from a family like that. So I'm used to it." I said the last part without a smile causing Charlotte to get a confused look. But before she could say anything the bell rang.
"Sorry Charlotte I have to go. My teacher hates it if I'm late. Do you know where you are going?"
"Yeah, I have art next."
"Ok Well see you at lunch then."
"Bye." I left the class room and walked to my next class.
"Hi Ang." I said as I sat down for lunch. "Hi Katie."
"Hi Bella." Everyone on the table said.
"Hey Bells, have you heard the gossip yet."
"Gossip what gossip?"
"The stuff about the new people."
"Oh yeah where are they?"
"They are over there. Have you met them yet?"
"Ummmm. I sit next to Charlotte in home room. William's in my class as well. But the rest of them aren't. So Katie dish out the dirt for us then!" I said with a smile.
Katie took a deep breath and began.
"Well the boy with short spiky hair is called Harvey and he is together with Charlotte the one with long blonde hair. William has short ginger hair and he is together with Elizabeth the one with shoulder length black hair. Damien is on his own and he is the one with short black hair." She said all this is one breath.
"But how are they all related then?" Angela asked confused.
"Well. Harvey and Elizabeth are blood brother and sister and are related to Mr. And Mrs. Harper. William and Charlotte are cousins but their parents died so they moved in with the Harpers a few years ago but Damien was orphaned years ago and is completely on his own."
"Katie I want to make a bet with you." I said with a smile.
"Yeah what on?"
"How long it takes for Jessica and Lauren to try and get their claws into Damien. I say 1 day."
"Naaaa. It will be longer than that! This is their first day. So I'd say 3 days to a week."
"Well you're on. Say 20?"
"Yeah."
Just then Jessica got up and began to saunter over to the new kids table.
"Katie I'd get ready to pay me!" I whispered to her.
"Wait she might just be... umm... saying hello." She whispered back.
I just snorted at her. Then we turned back to the show in the middle of the room.
"Hi I am Jessica but you can call me Jess. I want you to know that if you ever need ANYTHING then just give me a call." And she handed Damien a sheet of paper that probably held her number and Laurens.
"Pay up Katie!" I whispered to her. She reluctantly handed me the note whilst I grinned. Then we both got back to watching Jessica.
Jessica had turned around when Damien called her back.
"Ummm... Jessica I really don't want this."
"Want what Damien?"
"Ummm... your number!" And with that he handed her the bit of paper which was now screwed up in a ball.
"But wait surely you should just keep it just in case!"
"No thank you. Now can you please leave?"
"NO!" She said sitting down
"Fine then. Lizzy help me."
I'm guessing he meant Elizabeth because Elizabeth stood up. She had shoulder length black hair, peach eyes and her build was very petite, like a ballet dancers. She was wearing a peach dress that hung straight but had lace at the bottom and beading at the top. She wore peach ballet flats as well.
She just stared at Jessica until she got up and turned to leave. Then she sat down again and carried on talking to William who was sitting next to her.
"I'm leaving!" Charlotte stood up.
"Lottie wait up!" Elizabeth stood up and ran after her sister.
Damien stood up as well and took Charlotte and Elizabeth's trays over to the canteen as well as his own.
Damien had short black hair that came down to his eyes which were hazel. He was wearing a red checked shirt and jeans with trainers.
Harvey stood up and I checked him out. He had spiky blonde hair that complimented his bright blue eyes. He had high cheek bones with red lips. He was wearing a blue and white striped top with jeans and trainers.
I noticed that they were all very pale and graceful. Alarm bells were going off in my head at the similarities to the Cullen's but there was one problem, the eyes they weren't red or gold, but for all I knew they could be wearing contacts! I decided to watch them and find out.
It was later in the day when I heard shouting coming from where the lockers are located.
Me and a load of other people where running to the commotion.
I found William standing there shaking whilst Mike and Tyler were taking the piss out of him for being ginger!
Elizabeth was standing there in front of him going, "Will! Will! Calm down! There not worth it! Please Will! For me? Please!"
She kept speaking to him in a frantic voice.
All of a sudden it got really windy. William just kept glaring at Mike and Tyler as they carried on talking.
I looked to my right and saw Harvey, Charlotte and Damien coming towards us.
I was close enough to hear Damien say "Harve, Lottie go to his left and make him calm down! I will get Lizzy out the way."
Damien proceeded to grab Elizabeth by the waist and pull her away whispering in her ear.
I was straining to hear and I heard Elizabeth cry out, "Oh Daim. It got so close!"
The wind had died down by now and Charlotte and Harvey had William by the arm and were dragging him off.
When Elizabeth had calmed down Damien pulled her along after the others.
The drama was obviously over but Mike and Tyler were calling after them stuff like wimp and Chav. I just walked away to my truck and drove home.
