Twilight/Demons
Bella and Luke's Love Story
By The One and Only Hanabella
Chapter 1- Do you believe in love at first sight?
Bella's Point of View
Breathe Bella. Just breathe. I kept saying that to myself as I closed the door to my flat and walked towards St Martin's College. I'd only been in London a few days. I didn't know anybody. Today remained me of my first day at Forks High School. And I wanted to forget about my time in Forks. I want to forget about him.
I stood outside the wooden double doors to the college for a moment. I took a deep breath. The minute I opened those doors I was a new person. A new Bella starting a new life. A girl trying to escape the pain of her first love. I sighed and opened the wooden doors and walked inside. The college was huge. Bigger than I'd first expected. I walked towards the front desk. The receptionist was a woman in her fifties, dark red hair. She was on the phone I waited for her to finish. I glanced around taking in my new surroundings and then my eyes locked onto him. He had chocolate brown hair, baby blue eyes a perfect smile and body. I couldn't take my eyes off him. But he wasn't alone. He was with a girl short brown hair and deep green eyes. He was in deep conversation with her when he looked up and meet my gaze. I turned away fast letting my midnight black hair fall to hide my face, my shyness and my embarrassment.
"Can I help you?" The Woman in the office asked.
"Yes I'm Isabella, Bella Swan. It's my first day here." I said with a small smile. I gave her my paperwork. She smiled.
"Oh yes Bella Swan. Welcome to St Martin's College Miss Swan. I'm Mrs Harmon. I'll just get your timetable, books and a map of the college." Mrs Harmon said with a smile. She got up from her desk and walked towards the back of the large office. I stood their waiting for her.
"Hi." A sweet voice said. I turned to see the girl who had been talking to the boy I couldn't take my eyes off standing in front of me. With him by her side.
"I'm Ruby James and this is my best friend Luke Rutherford. And you are?" Ruby asked with a small smile.
"Bella. Bella Swan. I've just moved to London. Today's my first day." I said with a shy smile.
"Well Ruby and I would love to show you around the school. We know the school and London like the back of our hands. We could be your tour guides if you like." Luke spoke and my heart melted. Such a sweet, pure voice.
"I'd like that. Thanks." I said with an smile. Mrs Harmon came back with my things.
"I see you've met Luke and Ruby. Will you two look after Bella for me please. She's in all of your classes Luke." Mrs Harmon said I smiled in my head at the thought of being with Luke in every lesson.
"Of course we will Miss. Won't we Ruby?" Luke said with a smile.
"Of course." Ruby said taking my arm.
"Let's go." Ruby said I went to take my books.
"I'll carry them for you." Luke said our hands touched, our eyes met. It was like a scene from a movie where the two main characters fall in love for the first time.
"Come on you two we'll be late for class." Ruby said breaking the moment. Luke carried my books and we walked down one of the long corridors.
"So Bella where have you moved from?" Ruby asked. I sighed. Luke laughed.
"Ruby leave her alone." Luke said with a smile. I smiled.
"It's fine Luke. Let her ask her questions. I'm more than happy to answer. I moved from Forks where I was living with my dad Charlie Swan. My parents divorced when I was just a few months old. My mom Renee got re-married, her new husband Phil is a minor league baseball player. So they travel a lot." I said with a small smile.
"So you're an only child?" Ruby asked.
"Yep." I replied.
"So damn lucky. I've got a little brother Jamie. Pain in the arse." Ruby said with a sigh. Luke laughed. Oh my god that's the sweetest sound I have ever heard.
"Kids little monsters." Luke said with a smile. Luke's mobile rang he answered it.
"Well Ladies. I'm gonna have to go. I'll see you at Lunch." Luke said giving me my books back before he took off back in the direction towards the main doors.
"Where is he going?" I asked Ruby as we walked into my first lesson of the day English
"He's got a medical condition. He gets called out at odd times." Ruby said with a small smile.
"Oh right." I said sitting at my desk. Ruby sat next to me.
"You like him don't you?" Ruby asked.
"No. I've just meet him. And I'm not looking for a boyfriend at the moment," I said honestly. Well half honest.
"Why? I mean you're a good looking girl." Ruby said I laughed.
"Thanks for that Ruby. I like you too. But my last boyfriend really hurt me. I'm not looking for anyone at the moment. And Luke's a sweet guy." I said turning to face the white board as the teacher walked in.
"Yeah he is. I think he likes you too." Ruby said opening her book. I looked at her. She just smiled. She's wrong. Luke doesn't like me like that. I mean why would he I'm nothing special.
I tried to focus on my lessons to take my mind of Luke's return at lunch. Do you believe in love at first sight? Cause I do now. Damn it Bella what are you doing? You moved here to start afresh. No more love. Not after him. And the pain he caused.
English, Biology, Maths dragged on. I sighed. I never wanted to go to college it was Dad and Mom that made me go. But if I have to go to college I'm glad it's this one. And not just because the teachers are good and the foods decent. It's him, It's Luke. I can't get him of my mind.
"Hey Girls." I smiled as Luke met me and Ruby after Maths and we walked to Lunch together.
"Hey. Where did you disappear to? It's been ages." Ruby said with a smile.
"It's not my fault." Luke said laughing. I smiled.
"How's your first day been so far Bella?" Luke asked I smiled softly.
"It's been good thanks." I said smiling at him as he held open the door to the cafeteria. We walked into the cafeteria together. We all sat the a table together. Me and Luke talked like we'd know each other for years. It felt weird being with him. A good weird. It was like I was another planet. Do you believe in love at first sight? Cause I certainly do.
