Age 14

High School

BPOV

The next picture was another typical childhood picture. The six of us were outside of the Cullen's next to Emmett's car. He couldn't drive it legally yet, but he liked to show it off every chance he got. It was Alice, Edward's and mine first day of high school, and of course our mothers wanted lots of pictures.

"Mum we have to go otherwise we are going to miss the school bus" I smiled one last time.

"Ok kids, you have a good day, make lots of friends, Emmett you better look after them all!" Esme shouted after us.

"Rosalie no getting in fights with your teachers, at least not for the first week!" Linda called after her daughter.

"Please don't call us!" Renee laughed finally going inside. We started to walk towards the bus stop, and glancing over my shoulder I saw Emmett kissing the hood of his car, Rosalie watching close by rolling her eyes.

"Bye bye baby, I'll miss you" Emmett whispered to the car before Rose finally dragged him away.

"I swear he kisses that car more than me these days" She growled as she stomped to the bus stop.

Rose, Emmett and Jasper had already been at the school for a year. Which meant they were already established in the 'high school hierarchy', as Rose liked to call it. Rose was popular, Emmett was on the soccer team, and Jasper was just the cute mysterious guy that hardly talked.

"Ok so Alice and Bella, just stick with me, and me and my friends will make sure your four years here are amazing!" Rose explained as we got off the bus. Alice nodded along, although she would have no problem being popular. Everyone was attracted to Alice's happy attitude and sweet smile.

"Can't I make my four years here amazing in my own way?" I asked as we walked up to the front gates, waiting to go in.

"Sure, but what do you want to do?" Rose asked, she only wanted the best for me, even if she did secretly want to turn me into her own Barbie doll.

"I was thinking about joining the newspaper..." I trailed off seeing the look on Rose, Emmett and Jasper's face.

"The newspaper is kinda' lame" Rose told me, still with the pained look on her face.

"Yes, but if anyone can make it better, it's Bella" Alice defended me.

"That is true" Rose finally gave in. "But you still have to sit with us at lunch, that you can't get out of"

"Of course I'm sitting with you, can't break tradition" I rested my head on her shoulder and smiled as we walked to our form room.

"Ok kiddies" Emmett started, always treating us like we were children, rather than just a year younger. "This is where your real life starts, so go on, go forth, and be amazing, and if you have any problems, don't bother me during lunch, see ya' later!" He walked off with Jasper, whilst Rose rolled her eyes again and waved to us.

We all had different classes, and we weren't sure if we had any together yet, but Alice, Edward and I all had form together, which is when we all met up at the start of the day to take attendance. Since it was the first day most of the morning was taken up by introductory tasks, and an assembly just for the freshman. Finally we were told we could go to lessons, by this time we had one lesson before lunch and then our usual afternoon schedule.

Edward and I had English, but in different classrooms, and Alice had music. It had been about 30 minutes and I was getting into the lesson when the fire alarm started to screech.

"Ok everyone, follow the signs for the fire exit and line up in the parking lot, don't dawdle, I'm pretty sure this wasn't planned for today!" The teacher called to us over the alarm. I made my way into the corridor, following the rest of the students trying not to panic.

"Hey" A voice whispered in my ear and grabbing my hand. Instantly I knew it was Edward.

"Hey, do you know what happened? Is this a drill?" I asked as we finally made it outside and into the cold September air.

"I heard the teachers talking, apparently the drill was meant to be tomorrow, and also there is a rumour going around that it was two sophomore idiots that set fire to something in the science lab" Edward explained.

"Emmett and Jasper?" I giggled and shook my head.

"Do you know any more idiots?" Edward asked just as we met up with Alice and lined up in our forms.

"When I got hold of Emmett I'm going to kill him!" Alice snapped, scanning the crowd for his curly mop.

"How can you be sure it's even Emmett?" I asked trying to calm her down. Edward and Alice just looked at me like I was an idiot. "Fine your right, disaster follows Emmett"

Just then, a giant rain drop fell onto my forehead, which was quickly followed by the sudden down pour of torrential rain. All of the girls screamed, whilst the guys groaned.

"Keep calm everyone, unfortunately you can't go back into the school until we are sure it's safe and the firemen have checked it out" One of the teachers shouted to us, making the crowd groan again.

"They're over there Emmett, oh dammit my hair was so nice this morning" I heard Rose cry over the crowed as Emmett walked over with Rose on his back and Jasper at his side.

"Hey guy, it's raining!" Emmett called to us joyously.

"Well done Em, I always knew there was a genius beneath that childish grin" Edward answered sarcastically, Emmett just stuck out his tongue.

"I love the rain" I mumbled, lifting my face to the rain and letting the drop runs over my head and cheeks. "Makes me want to dance" I giggled.

"CAN I GET A BEAT!?" Emmett shouted to the crowd, which got him a lot of quizzical looks. But still someone managed to put on some music, letting it blast over the rain filling the parking lot with music.

"Come on Angel, let's dance" Emmett shrugged Rose off his back and started to dance crazily, completely rocking out to the music.

"My lady?" Jasper held his hand out to Alice, who took it gently.

"Sir" She curtsied just as he spun her. Spinning and skipping around the crowd, I could still hear them laughing.

"Let's dance!" Edward grabbed both my hands and started to dance with me. We twisted to the floor and back up again, just acting like idiots, letting the rain fall over of us. Soon the entire school joined in, dancing in any way they could, to the beat of the rain and the music.

Finally the school was given the OK, but because we were all so soaked they let us go early. The six of us danced all the way home; the rain wouldn't stop so neither would we.

When we got to the Cullen's front yard we were greeted by our mothers on the front porch, camera ready. They let us dance in the rain for another fifteen minutes until demanding we come inside and get dry.

We had colds for a week, but it was worth it. The picture below the one with Emmett's car was the six of us drenched in the front yard. Jasper had Alice in a low dip, his hair falling into his eyes. Emmett was holding Rose in a bride lift and spinning her around, she was screaming. I was on Edwards shoulders, face lifted to the sky.

We went back to school the next day, and our real high school experience started. The first day was definitely the best though.

A/N this chapter is sort of based off what me and my friends really did at school once. It was break and it was totally pouring it down, and my mate was like lets go outside in the rain. So we did, there was already a few people outside and more came out, loads of people were just hanging out in the rain. When we got to our next lesson almost everyone was drenched.
