~Rosiee

P.S. - in this chap, when I am describing the cullens, I actually used Stephanie Meyer's words in twilight on pg.18-19. I tried to describe them myself but I couldn't think of a better way to put it, so just to let u guys kno- im not stealing from her- im quoting her. But I am also changing a couple words around, like she says their eyes were black, but I put gold… and so on. So yeahhhh…

Gabriella POV

I walked into the cafeteria and rushed to the table I usually sat at. I had asked my mom to make me a lunch this morning so I didn't have to wait in line for the back-to-school special, which was usually not so good anyway.

"Hey Ella." Ashley said as I sat down next to her. All together at our table it was me, Julie, Ashley, Derrick, and some of his friends.

"Hi" I replied.

"OMG- Ella!!! Did you see the new kids yet?" Julie asked me.

"Well- I saw one in my biology class. Edward. Where are they sitting?" I asked as I started to look around for his gorgeous face. Julie pointed over to a table all the way on the far side of the cafeteria. I couldn't help but gasp as I saw that Edward's siblings were just as beautiful as he was.

(Begin Quote)

All together there were five, and they didn't look anything alike. Of Edward's brothers, one was big- muscled like a serious weight lifter, with dark, curly hair. The other was taller, leaner, but still muscular, and strawberry blonde. Of his sisters, the tall one was statuesque. She had a beautiful figure, the kind you saw on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, the kind that made every girl around her take a hit on her self-esteem just by being in the same room. Her hair was golden, gently waving to the middle of her back. The short girl was pixielike, thin in the extreme, with small features. Her hair was a deep black, cropped short and pointing in every direction.

And yet- they were exactly alike. Every one of them was chalky pale, the palest of all the students living in this sunless town. They all had golden eyes, despite the range in hair tones. They also had dark shadows under those eyes- purplish, bruiselike shadows. As if they were all suffering from a sleepless night, or almost done recovering from a broken nose. Though their noses, all their features, were straight, perfect, angular.

But all this is not why I couldn't look away.

I stared because their faces, so different, so similar, were all devastatingly, inhumanly beautiful.

"Ella?" I heard Julie call my name, breaking me from my trance.

"What?" I asked. She looked at me, along with Ashley

"Nevermind. It's just- you were staring. Don't you know that's rude?" Julie said, and I couldn't help but smile. It was just like her to mind her manners.

"Sorry… it's just- they're so…" I stopped, lost for words.

"Yeah… they are." Ashley said, knowing what I was trying to say. "So which one is Edward" she asked.

"The boy with the reddish- brown hair." I answered, trying not to look into his face so I didn't slip into my fantasy world.

"Oh- yeah. I think he's the only one of them that's single." Julie said. I looked at her skeptically.

"What makes you say that?" I asked with honest curiosity.

"Well- when I went to the office second period to do some filing for the extra credit work I do, The secretary handed me their files to file into the cabinet, and uh, I couldn't help but to read them," she said sheepishly. I gawked at her because it sounded like something she would never do.

"What did they say?" Ashley asked.

"Well," Julie started. "Not all of them are related. Edward, Emmett, and Alice, the big guy and the small girl, are siblings. Their mom died when a couple hours after she gave birth to Alice or something, and their dad just was so depressed that he put them in an orphanage and just left. They were there for a few years with no identification other than their first names, but then they were adopted by Dr. Cullen and his wife and they just took the name Cullen."

"Aww… that's horrible!!!" Ashley said.

"What about the other two?" I asked. "The blondes?"

"Um- That's Rosalie and Jasper Hale. They're twins. Their parents died when they were little as well, and they went to live with the Cullens. Mrs. Cullen is apparently their mom's sister, and in the will that's who their parents wanted them to go live with if anything happened. They were eight when it happened, and they didn't want to change their last name, so they still go by their parents names."

"Oh. Wow." I said, speechless. I couldn't understand how five of the most beautiful people I had ever seen could have such depressing pasts.

"What makes you say that Edward is the only one that's single?" Ashley asked as Julie sighed.

"Well, Ash- just look at them. Rosalie is sitting on Emmett's lap and Jasper and Alice are holding hands. It's kind-of obvious."

"Oh. Right. That's weird." She said.

"Why? They aren't related." I said.

"Yeah- but they live together. It's just weird. That's all I'm saying." Ashley sighed. Just then the bell rang and we got up and shuffled towards our next classes. I took one last glance back at the Cullen table, but they were no where to be seen.

'Hmphh…' I thought 'They're pretty quick.'

A/N: okay. So there ya have it. The Cullen's story. I thought this chap was really good. What do you guys think? Review and tell mee!!
