BORN TO BE WILD
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

ST. MARCUS ACADEMY
Alice was sitting at one of the benches in one of the gardens in the massive building, watching the sky and thinking of her beautiful sister. Man, how she misses her.
This week has been hard on her. Sure, Rosalie and Angela were nice enough but she felt a little left out when they started talking of things she just couldn't comprehend. Like when they trash talked one of the girls in the academy. Alice didn't even knew who they were talking about, but it was for sure they weren't saying nice things
She was bullied in her last school so she didn't like that situation. She didn't left the room but she didn´t say anything either. She would not participate, even if she knew for fact that the things they were saying were truth.
In that moment someone went to sit down next to her. She felt the scent of strawberries and other fragrances even before the person came close to her.
"Ugh. Oh my God. I swear I don't know why they find this game so fun" the brunette owner of the good scent said to her. What Alice saw was out of a movie. The girl made the uniform look good! And her hair was so long and shiny… just like the princesses she reads in the tales for Cynthia. She was beautiful, like a doll. Alice smiled.
"Yeah, they have been playing since I came to sit here" Alice said motioning to what the girl was talking about. A bunch of students playing soccer. The pretty girl opened her bag, that Alice recognized as a Gucci, and pull out a mirror and then proceeding to check her waves "Alice" she extended her hand to introduced herself.
"Isabella, but you can call me Bella" she answered "You are new? I have never seen you here, and believe me, I would recognize a hair like yours. It's so trendy!"
"Yes, I'm new" she smiled "and thank you, I cut it myself" she replied proudly and flattered that such a doll would complement her.
"Shut up! Wow! It actually looks good. Like if was from a magazine. It looks really cute on you" Bella said, glancing at her and beaming. She put her mirror away and begin to talk to Alice.
She learnt that she was accepted in this school with a scholarship and she had a sister. Oh, and also that her auntie owned a hair salon, which made sense. Bella wasn't lying. Her hair look so pretty.
Alice learnt that she was the daughter of the fashion designer Carlisle Cullen and she thought, honestly, that a girl like this would be mean, but no. She was being so polite and amicable. Alice thought they would be such good friends and she told Bella so. She agreed and exchanged numbers and talked some more.
Just before Bella could asked her if she wanted to sit with her group that girl… Angela? Came to Alice and talked to her excited about something. She noticed the girl was all sweaty and ew, so she figured she was one of the students playing.
"Did you see my steez, Alice? I've never scored a shot like that!"
"Style, Angela. It's said style" Bella interrupted smiling.
"And what did I say?" Angela asked her taken aback.
"You said "steez", but that's a weird slang" she kept correcting her with a smile on her face.
Alice didn't see the bad in her action, that's how this people was used to talk, but Angela felt offended by this fly.
"Oh, okay. I'll go to my chambers and write it down on my pad" she mocked her.
Bella didn't lose a hint and followed her line "No, babe. You should say journal then. If you are going to talk like that do it well" Alice wanted to interrupt since she didn't want this two girls fighting for stupid things but Angela interfered.
"Excuse me. The how do you say "You dumb fuck"?"
Bella thought this was an innocent banter but since this… girl wanted to show off wits she would do it.
"Oh, I don't know honey but in your birth certificate is wrote as a synonym of your name" Bella didn't showed how surprised she was when that girl insulted her and she was proud; she didn't even notice her cheeks burning. When Bella was about to get up and leave the hostile scene she was pushed by Angela and threw herself at her, pulling her hair and trying to take a punch at her. Bella didn't know how to defend herself since she has never been in this situation so she just tried to protect her face and screamed in terror. Though decision since her hair was being ruined. Where is Emmett when you need him?!
Alice screamed at her friend to stop hurting Bella and when she finally stopped trying to punch her she just insulted the brunette once more. The short haired girl assisted Bella to stand up from the ground and sit in the bench where the both were just seconds ago.
"BEAST! BRUTE!" Bella screamed all disheveled at her attacker. How did the director let such people get into this academy? First the impolite kid from a vedette and now this "Oh, Alice… my hair. It hurts" she lamented and hugged Alice. She returned it and tried to calm the girl down. Bella got her reflection in a bottle of water near them and screamed when she saw her hair "Look at what she did to my hair!"
…
"Look, I know it has nothing to do with you as a student, but the driver said he went and he didn't saw Emmett and when he asked the priest he said he had left three hours ago… You are the oldest in here that I know of so please, help me find him" the professor that randomly picked Edward told him.
"But he's an immature fuck, so he probably is with a girl or drinking, I don't know. And also… aren't we supposed to not leave this academy without permission?"
Edward was chilling in his room when this man came all desperate looking for his help. He listened to him but he didn't realize, until now, that he was being asked to help with the search for the poor little rich rat that harassed him. He refused to help him.
"Yeah, I know, but just in case I'm asking you to look for him. And I am giving you authorization to go out… and please Masen, be discrete. We don't need any other student knowing about this and leave alone other teachers or his dad".
6 minutes later he had changed into comfortable clothes and was going to look that fucking kid along the driver and the designated teacher who was supposed to take care of the guy. When they got to the church they separated and went in their own looking for a beefy guy. Edward asked how many people he could if they had seen him, showing a picture of him but nobody seemed to know anything.
How did he end up here? Shit! He was just starting and the man was already taking advantage of him.
He decided to go for a stretched avenue, kicking little stones and cans he found in the way. He was getting tired and bored. If this motherfucker wasn't dead and instead fucking some chick he was going to lose it!
When got down to pick up the can he was playing with he heard moanings.
He almost left thinking it could be a guy being perv and jacking off in the street but he caught a glimpse of a guy facing down the pavement. He would recognize those beefy shoulders anywhere!
He ran to find if the guy was dead… OH SHIT! God, it wasn't true, please, I don't want to touch a dead body. Please, leave him be alive. When he got to him he turned him to face him and saw him bleeding and barely conscious.
He tried to make him react by asking him questions, mainly what the fuck happened to him but Emmett was able to say shit. Searching for Emmett's phone in order to call professor, accidentally touched one of his reaves. Fuck him!
"Emmett, what the hell happened? Where's your phone?" he asked. He search for the mobile and more injures in the guy but found nothing. Thank God.
"Guy… he took it… punched me… bigger" he could say before a cough attacked him.
Edward left him there to ask for a phone since Emmett probably was mugged. He called and gave their direction. He got back after thanking the woman who let him use her phone. Emmett wasn't in that bad of condition. He honestly had seen worse. But like… he was not a doctor and the guy was probably scared shitless.
Well… what a first day for the two of them.
…
"Did you even tell on her? Just look how she let you Bella!" Jessica was consoling her friend who had zero marks on her but her hair was all frizzed. Alice was with them trying to calm her, but if something was obvious to her, Bella loved her hair and she felt assaulted. Before Bella could agree to say anything to the director of what her friend did she offered to do her hair.
"Really?" Bella asked all puppy eyed and at the bridge of crying.
"Yeah, I mean… it's not that big of a deal. Let's just wash it. It looks like that because of your hair product, probably, so yeah".
"What a wonderful girl you are! But, hey, my products had nothing to do with this nest that brute did, okay? I'm just that used to that treatment of violence".
The three of them went to The Bellisimas club's room and agglomerated themselves in the bathroom while Alice did her magic untangled Bella's hair. In the meanwhile they talked about nothing at all, just basic things to know each other better. When Alice was done with that, they moved to the vanity area and proceed to dry it.
Jess was telling them about Mike when Lauren came all worried into the room.
"Girls! Have you seen Edward? I've been looking for him all afternoon and I haven't seen him!" they all replied no and giggled when she left in the same way she came. Young love, Jessica thought.
When Bella's hair was dry, soft and in her place she praised Alice, telling her how she did it better than her professional stylist! She even got the waves all cute! Jessica asked her to style her hair too and Alice, excited to work with these girls that had such a gorgeous hair, accepted.
When Alice was done with them they kept hanging out in their room listening to music and gossiping about nothing really important. Jessica then had a wonderful idea, and went to her closet to ask Bella what she should use to this weekend and impress Mike.
She started to show some options to Bella and Alice, the last one just admiring the cute clothes the red head has. Item after item, Alice watched Bella analyzed and found out they agreed with most of things, but to Alice all this clothes were nothing like she has ever had.
"You have… such cute clothes" Alice said to Jessica.
"Thank you, honey. All of these Bella gave them to me as a gift or the ones she does not longer use" she smiled at her friend who blushed at the acknowledgment. Alice didn't know Jessica was scholarship student as well until a few minutes ago in the bathroom. She was surprised not only to see that Bella was friends with people like her but she also had a good heart. So not like what Rosalie and Angela told her. She figured these "airheads" were the ones they were referring like as, fortunately Alice got to see that these girls were nothing but nice.
As Jessica kept showing her clothes finally Bella decided for a dress and helped her find one, so the three of them went to their closet. When Bella found the one she went to dig in her side of the closet. She handed Jess a pair of heels to wear and grabbed three beautiful shirts and two skirts. She asked Alice if she liked them, and she answerd honestly telling her that they were beautiful.
"These are from my daddy's brand, Cullen. Are brand new except for this orange skirt" she said and gave them to Alice "Now, they are yours".
"No, no, no… I can't accept them, I—"
"No! Of course you can! I see you like a lot of my dad's designs and I want you to have these. Are from the new collection and I just now my daddy would love you to try them. After all you will look so cute with them! Please, Alice. It's a gift" Bella handed them to lice and begged for her to take them. Jessica smiled at her friend's actions.
"Thank you so much, Bella. Seriously" Alice was excites since she had brought just a few of her own clothes, leaving it all to her rapidly growing sister. She hugged Jessica and Bella once more, thanked her and she gave her a kiss in the cheek "I'll go put them in my closet now!" she ran excited.
Wow! Alice now owned Cullen clothes.
"This is my vocation Jess!" Bella said exited, admiring her hair in the mirror "Hey! Have you heard of Em or Peter?" she asked. Jessica haven't either so they went to look for them in the play room in the same campus as the dorms. There they found Peter talking with that new guy, Jasper.
"Hi boys!" Bella greeted them, Peter said hi to both of them and Jasper got all bothered and excited. I might be Isabella Cullen's friend he thought. "Peter, do you know if Emmett is back from that thing?" she said talking "discreetly" in front of Jasper… Well, I guess I still have to earn her trust Jasper pouted.
"No a clue Bee, but he told me to wait here for him and I've been here like two hours".
Weird. Jessica and her friend them decided to wait in there with the boys and started talking of a movie they all have commonly saw. Different opinions were heard. Jess liked the actor, Bella like the soundtrack, Peter enjoyed the movie and Jasper said something about his uncle working on the production of it.
Before they could even question him about it they heard commotion in the entrance of the room. They saw Edward running over to them, all sweaty and sexy, or so Bella thought. She blushed at her thoughts and looked at the floor.
"Man, I was looking for you!" he shouted at Peter, pulling him by the arm with such strength… Ufff, was Bella getting hot? Maybe is the uniform.
"What's your problem man! Don't you see I'm talking?" Edward did knew, he saw that beauty—that girl and how could he not notice her n the room.
"Look… is urgent. Let's go. Now!" he pulled him once more and finally got him to follow him, reluctantly.
Jessica, Jasper and Bella shared a weird look between the before shrugging it off.
"Boys" Jessica said, taking Peter's place besides Jasper.
...
Meanwhile, Emmett was in the nursery being taken care of by the professor who was in charge of the whole thing. He was checked by the nurse and told him he only had bruises but nothing serious.
Emmett was assured that the driver would not say a word to his dad, and the professor would not say anything either. He was currently thinking of Edward and he came to his rescue even after all he said to him and felt like shit.
Well, damn.
His thoughts were interrupted when a screaming Peter was being dragged in by Edward, like if him was nothing and weighted like 10 pounds. Hehe.
"See, asshole!" Edward let go of him and Peter worried asked his longtime friend what happened to him. He was all dirty, bruised and blood stained "Who did this to you, man?"
"Some guys at the town" he said all gruff "Edward brought me here…" he said in a lower tone.
The professor asked them, once more, for discretion, but Peter made a very important question. How are they going to explain his marks? They stopped to think for a bit. Edward got an idea. He didn't want to help this guy but fuck it.
"Let's just tell them that him and I got into a fight and stuff" Peter looked mad, for some reason and Emmett agreed, a little unenthusiastic.
"Look at that! That's a good idea… you have a good friend here" the man said to Emmett.
Bruh.
