The bus ride was exhausting as ever, but well worth it in the end. The only problem with this plan is that I would go into it not knowing what that swan chick looked like. All I knew was that she went to VAA because she was a great singer. Either way she was going to pay for what her father did to my family. As I was getting off the bus I caught a taxi to the bus stop where I had to get the bus that would transport me, with a bunch of others that were hoping to be one of the three lucky ones to receive the scholarship, to the school.

While I was walking through the tunnel that led to the bus; I wasn't looking at where I was going and ran into a person. "I'm sor-" I was cut off by a hit to the back of my head. "Look at what you made me do! You made me spill my drink!" the person who I supposed I ran into screamed at me while she still kept hitting me with what I suppose was her bag. "Ah, ah, lady please stop, I'm sorry!" I tried to stop her but she wouldn't let me. Then I heard another woman's voice "Auntie Kebi stop, c'mon stop hitting him." She said. That got the women who I learned was named Kebi stop hitting me.

"Thank you and I really am sorry for running into you I wasn't looking at where I was going." I said while extending my hand, she did the same and was elbowed by the girl who I now saw. She was a tiny thing no more than five feet tall with black spiky hair and grey eyes. The lady I knew was named Kebi was taller her but still shorter than me; she had light brown hair and hazel eyes. She looked at me, sighed and shook my hand. "I'm sorry for hitting you; I'm Kebi, Kebi Brandon." I looked at her; she looked very familiar "Have I seen you before, you look very familiar." I said, but before she could respond the pixie like girl answered for her. "Yea she's a famous singer, well anyways I'm Alice Brandon." She said and extended her hand and I took it "I'm Edward, Edward Cullen." We started walking towards the bus stop.

"So are you also going to VAA?" I asked Alice "Yea I'm going for the scholarship also I hope I get it." I looked at Kebi and she was rolling her eyes. "Well she wouldn't be here if she would just let me pay for her school but she is so stubborn." She said. I couldn't help but smile especially since Alice thought it would be real mature to stick out her tongue at her Aunt. "I told you auntie; this is something I want to do on my own." Alice said. Now it was Kebi's turn to roll her eyes "Yea, yea whatever you're so stubborn Ali." She said with a smile.

I smiled; they reminded me of sisters instead of an aunt and niece. "So Edward where's your parent, didn't they come with you?" Alice asked breaking me out of my thoughts. "No my mom is back in Chicago." She looked at me like if I was crazy. "You do know that you need your parent's or legal guardian's signature on the application in order to take the test, right?" I looked at her with wide eyes. "Are you serious?" I asked. She just nodded, well shit if I'm screwed now. What was I going to do, I had to get into that school if it was the last thing I did. "Well I'll think of something. She rolled her eyes "Well think fast because the bus is here." She said. I looked up and sure enough the bus was there already.

We got on the bus and Alice sat next to her aunt, and the only other seat available was next to a big burly guy with brown curly hair and light blue eyes. I sat next to him and he took off his head phones. "I'm Emmett, Emmett McCarty." He said extending his hand I took it "I'm Edward, Edward Cullen." "So you going for the scholarship also?" he asked. I nodded "Yea I just hope I'm one of the three that get it." "Yea me too, it would be killer." He said "So what are your talents I mean you coming here you must be good at something right?" he asked "Yea I play the piano, I don't know about singing my mom says I'm good but I mean that's my mom she's supposed to say that right? And I play the guitar." I said. "That's cool I sing but mostly it's playing the drums and also the guitar." He said.

We started to get to know each other better. I learned that he had a little sister like me and her name was Kaure [:)] and that his parents didn't approve of him going to VAA but that his mother still signed the application in order for him to take the test, because she saw that this was something that he wanted to do. Emmett looked intimidating but he was more of a big brother type of guy and you really can't find a guy with dimples intimidating. He was a kid at heart. We talked until we got to the school. While we were getting down the bus I looked around and saw that it was almost deserted. "Is it summer for them already?" I asked Alice after presenting her to Emmett. "Yea but they are all leaving this Friday to New Jersey and the three who get the scholarship go too." She said while jumping up and down Kebi, Emmett, And me were laughing at her.

All of a sudden I felt like someone was watching me. I turned looking for the source when I was met with brown eyes. She must have been the most beautiful girl I had ever seen; she was wearing a long sleeved shirt, some jeans and converse. She had full lips and brown hair that flowed all the way down to her waist. She looked away and started talking with another girl. I couldn't stop looking at her. I don't know how long I was staring at her until I received a punch on the arm "Ow!" I said holding my arm and looking at Emmett "What was that for?" I asked rubbing my arm. "Well we've been trying to get your attention for the past ten minutes." He said, Alice was giggling. "Something that's going to change your life is going to happen that will change your life." She said and skipped over to Kebi. Emmett and I stared after her with weird expressions on our faces. "What did-" I cut him off "I don't know, c'mon lets go." We got our bags and made our way towards the school where a man with long black hair that was pulled into a low pony tail and a nice suit "Welcome to VAA, I am the principle . I hope you all try your hardest since only three of the twenty of you will get the scholarship. I'm going to leave things with Heidi my assistant and I will be back to announce the winners a little later." He said and left.

"Yes well you just have to come up sign in and we will show you to the classroom." She said. While everyone was checking in, I still had to wish for some miracle that would let me take the test. "Um excuse me Mr. Cullen but I'm afraid you can't take the test." She said. "Why not?" I asked "Uh well Mr. Volturi never got an approval from a parent or legal guardian." She said. "Is there a way that I can talk to ?" I asked. "Sure right this way." She led me down a corridor and into an office. "Wait right here." She said and disappeared into the office. Fuck I'm screwed. I thought what was I going to tell the principle in order for him to let me take the test? "Mr. Volturi will see you now." Heidi said opening the door to let me in. "Thank you." I said while walking into the office. "Ah Mr. Cullen what can I do for you?" Mr. Volturi asked. "I was wondering if there was a possibility that I could take the test without my mother's signature, it's just that she forgot and she's in Chicago-" he cut me off "I'm sorry but we can't have you take the test without a parent or legal guardian's signature." He said. I was about to give up when there was a knock on the door.

"I'm sorry Mr. Volturi but there is a lady here that says she's Mr. Cullen's guardian." Heidi said. I looked at her with a confused look until I saw Kebi walk in, glaring at me. My eyes went wide, especially when she started to walk over to me with her purse raised. Oh boy here we go again. I thought as I braced myself for the hit. "Oh you little brat!" she said while she hit me. "I get a call from your mother who is worried sick that you're not home and that you might be here." She said. "Ah, ah I'm sorry! Ow please stop." I tried to play along but her purse really hurt. "Oh I'm sorry where are my manners I'm Kebi this brat's godmother and legal guardian while he's staying here." She said shaking the principle's hand. "Wait but aren't you Miss. Brandon's guardian?" Mr. Volturi asked. "Yes I am but I am also his, and his mother after I speak to her tonight will send you a letter tomorrow with her signature saying she names me legal guardian of him until he graduates next year." Wow Kebi was good. Mr. Volturi just nodded "Of course, but for now you will need to sign his application so he can take the test." He said handing Kebi my application where she signed it.

"Thank you and I'll show him to the classroom." Kebi said. I stood up and shook Mr. Volturi's hand "Thank you Mr. Volturi you don't know how much this means to me." "No worries son, now go and take your test." He said with a wave of his hand.

Kebi and I stood up and left, when we were in the corridors I stopped her. "Kebi you seriously don't know how much what you did in there means to me, if you ever need anything just ask." I said to her. "I want one thing please." She said with tears in her eyes. I was getting worried. "Please, please take care of Alice while she's here, see Alice is special and people tend to make fun of her and treat her differently, just please I need someone to protect her here while I can't" she had tears running down her face "Don't worry Kebi I will protect Alice like she was my own sister." I said "Thank you Edward really thank you, you don't know how much that means to me. C'mon you have a test to take" she said leading me to a classroom where Heidi was. She handed me the test, I took it and sat down next to Emmett.

An hour and a half later and I was finished. I went outside the classroom to wait for Emmett and Alice to finish. I couldn't stop thinking about the beautiful brown eyed girl that I had seen. I wanted to see her again; hopefully I would get to see her soon. "Hey Edward." Emmett said "What's up Em." I asked. "So how do you think you did?" he asked. "Man Emmett I seriously don't know, I mean I think I should have taken longer to check my answers don't you think?" I asked. Alice was the one to answer, "Don't worry Edward it will be fine trust me." And oddly enough I did. "Thanks Alice." I sighed, "Okay you guys can come back in we have the results." Mr. Volturi said. We went to sit down; Mr. Volturi had three folders in his hand "Alright I want to congratulate these three students for getting a perfect score on this test." "Congratulations to Alice Brandon, Emmett McCarty, and-" I held my breath, this was it, I thought "Liam Rodríguez, congratulations again and see you next semester." I let out my breath. I didn't get in. I couldn't believe this; this was not part of- "Wait Mr. Volturi, sir there was one more student that got a perfect score as well." Heidi said handing him a folder. "Are you sure Heidi?" Mr. Volturi asked. "Positive sir I graded it myself." "Alright, well I guess four students will be getting the scholarship, the last student to be receiving a scholarship to VAA is Mr. Edward Cullen. Congratulations again to the four scholars, if you could please go and find Maggie she will show you your rooms." He said and left, I was in shock I got in; I couldn't believe this I actually got in.

"Edward?" Alice asked. I said nothing as I met her gaze. I was asking her the question with my eyes. "Yes Edward you got in." she said. I shook my head, she looked at me confused. "No Alice WE got in." I said jumping up and grabbing her spinning her while she squealed. "We all got in, now that's what I'm talking about." Emmett boomed. "Hey Em not so loud." I said. "Anyways come on lets go find Maggie." We got our things and went to find Maggie. It turned out that Maggie was Mr. Volturi's mom and she made us call her mom. Emmett and I were assigned a room with three other guys, wow that was going to be crowded. Alice got a room with two other girls that I really didn't catch the names of, because I was too busy thinking of the brown eyed girl I had seen earlier. I decided to take a walk to see if I could see her again. After looking for more than an hour I decided to go to the roof of the gym building.

I had been there for a little over half an hour when I heard a scream followed by "JASPER! NO JASPER DON'T JUMP!" I looked around and saw a figure about to jump off the building. I didn't think twice I rushed over to the figure and pulled it from the edge, I saw that it was a guy with blond hair. "Man are you trying to get yourself killed?" I asked him "That's what I wanted." Was all he said before he started crying. Man this guy's life must be fucked up if he wanted to end it. I ran my hand through my hair, when I heard footsteps behind me; I turned around and saw that it was the brown eyed girl from the morning. Her eyes were filled with tears. She walked up to me. "Thank you, thank you so much." She said and ran over to the guy on the ground, she was followed by another girl with brown hair but she had glasses on. They crouched down and hugged him. They were whispering something in his ear. I felt a hand on my arm and looked down; Alice was there with tears in her eyes.

I opened my arms and she sobbed into my chest. "Ali what's wrong?" I asked her. "I was so scared Edward I was looking for you when I had this feeling that something bad was going to happen, when all of a sudden I look up and I see him about to jump, the first thing I thought of was to scream. I was afraid he was going to jump." She said, I rubbed her back "It's okay Alice at least you did scream if not I wouldn't have seen him, you saved him Ali, you saved him." I told her, before I could say anything else we were interrupted by the brown haired girl with glasses. I looked around for the other girl but she was gone as was the guy I had saved. "Thank you so much, you don't know how much what you did means to us." She said wiping her tears away. "It's no problem really, I was just at the right place at the right time." I said "Thank you again, Jasper had just found out that his girlfriend was cheating on him with his friend, but my friend and I didn't think he would do something like this." She said "Whoa that's tough, I hope he gets better I really do." Something she said caught my attention.

"Wait did you say his name was Jasper?" "Yes, why?" she asked "He's my roommate that's why. I'm Edward Cullen and this is Alice Brandon." I said. "Oh Alice thank you as well, if you hadn't of screamed than we would never have seen him." She said. "No problem really I'm just glad he's ok." Alice said. "I'm Angela Webber." She said sticking her hand out. I took it and shook hands with her, Alice did the same thing. "I know we're roommates." Alice said "Oh well the girl that left with Jasper and Ben, that's your other roommate Bella, Bella Swan." She said and I froze. No, no this couldn't be happening SWAN as in Charlie Swan's daughter? No this couldn't be happening. The girl I saw this morning couldn't be the same girl I have been looking for to get revenge for what happened to my father. The girl I couldn't get out of my head couldn't be that assholes daughter. Alice noticed my reaction to what Angela said. I just shook my head. I couldn't believe this. I knew one thing for sure.

I was so screwed.
