I looked over at my brother, I was only three minutes older than him but he would always be my baby brother. We had been in the car for six hours, I had my radio to listen to but poor Jasper had nothing, I couldn't talk to him because my hands were busy and he got car sick so reading was out of the question.
I wasn't feeling that bad though, I loved driving my car. Our dad had gotten us matching Mercedes on our sixteenth birthday. Jazz hated his car; it sat in our garage since he got it. I understood why he hated the idea of driving it. First off it was from our dad and our dad hadn't really looked at him in about four and a half years now. He would never say it but he blamed Jasper for our mother's death. I hated him for doing that to Jasper. Jasper blamed himself for it enough as it is. He felt that if he hadn't been over at his friends house that Christmas Eve, than she wouldn't have gone to pick him up and they never would have been in that accident. It was bad enough that Jasper had spent three months in the hospital after the accident but it had caused him to lose his hearing.
Jasper was having a tough time; he had been the mastermind of a prank that had apparently been the last straw at our school. The prank wasn't even that bad, he had left a printed note saying use hot water in well over half of the restrooms in which he had filled the toilets with gelatin. He didn't even mind that they had asked him not to return, he hated that I needed to transfer with him. He wanted us to be together in school of course, he just felt guilty because he knew I liked our old school.
I smiled as I reached for my key ring and I gently pushed down on the small white remote sending a vibration to Jasper's watch. I watched out of the corner of my eye as he jumped and looked seeing my name flash across his watch face. "Is that really necessary?" he asked as he rolled his eyes.
I took the steering wheel with one hand and began to finger spell with other. Yes.
"Okay? Do you need something?" He raised one eyebrow as he smiled at me. He was a really bright kid, and he had always been quiet, even before the accident. He was one of the best listeners that I knew oddly enough. He was incredibly perceptive to people's moods, he had once commented that body language says volumes more than most people don't realize.
Not really. I signed with a grin; he rolled his eyes and laughed.
"How much further?" He groaned; the rural roads were starting to get to him.
Fifteen minutes and if you puke in my car I will make you walk. I spelled out quickly. When Jasper first lost his hearing it was our only way to communicate, thankfully we had learned the alphabet in class. He shot me a look; I just laughed and ruffled his hair. We were soon pulling into the parking lot marked for move in. Do you want to come in or wait in the car? I asked him as I put the car in park.
I'll just wait in the car. I watched as he pulled out his sidekick and began texting to his friends from back home in DC. I gave a soft sigh and climbed out, heading into the main building. There were only about 3 teachers or administrators sitting at the check in table. I guess that made sense though considering there was only about 200 students here in total. I looked to the three adults facing me the one sitting at the end gave me a friendly wave; I smiled back and made my way over.
"Name?" she asked looking up at me, she must have been a teacher because she was too young to be an administrator.
"Rosalie Hale, I would also like to check in my brother Jasper Hale" she nodded and looked through a few folders before pulling two out.
"Alright Rosalie, in the folders there is your schedule and your new room assignment." New room assignment thank god, the notice I had gotten in the mail had me living in a double room alone. I didn't like the idea of living alone; I always liked having a roommate. My roommate last year and I had become instant friends; I was going to miss her this year.
"Thank you" I took the folder into my hands.
"Here is everything for Jasper, I would like to see him in my office before school starts on Monday; I've put a note in here for him" She explained, I grimaced. Jasper couldn't be in trouble all ready could he. She must have read my expression perfectly because she let out a chuckle. "He's not in any trouble at all, I'm your guidance counselor and the dean just wants me to speak to him" She smiled, turning her attention to my side.
I looked at the short, pixie like girl at my side. She had to be no more than 4'10". "Mom, Can Edward and I go home now?" she asked looking at the guidance counselor.
"Sure Alice, just make sure Emmett knows your leaving, he won't be happy if you leave without him. Rosalie, this is my daughter Alice Cullen, she's in the grade below you." She smiled as she introduced me.
"Oh, Rosalie Hale! You have a twin too right?" The short girl was beaming. I let out a soft laugh.
"Yes, my brother Jasper is waiting in the car. You have a twin too then?" I asked not just trying to be polite. Having a twin is something different; you end up being closer than other siblings. Our best friends from DC were another set of twins.
"Yupp! My brother Edward is somewhere around here. Your brother has that sweet Vespa right?" I laughed, this girl knew way too much about us already.
"Yeah, that's his baby" I smiled.
"Lucky, she won't let me get one" she pointed to her mother.
"Or ride one" Mrs. Cullen added with a smirk. I laughed again.
"Well it's nice to meet you Alice, Mrs. Cullen. I should head back out to my brother" I gave a smile and wave before walking out the door. The moment I got out the door a behemoth of a man/boy ran into me. I began to fall but he caught me before I hit the floor. I glared up at the brawny boy in front of me. He had adorable curly hair and dimples but he clearly was an idiot. I grumbled as her let go of me and I headed to the car, still grumbling as I reached Jasper.
Here are your keys, you are on the third floor; I'm on the second, 205 okay? I signed to him and he climbed out of the car after nodding. Without a word he walked to the upper classman dormitory. I headed to my room as well. I climbed the stairs to the second floor and walked down the hall to my room, the door was already open. I pushed it open further and peaked into the large room, a pale brunette smiled at me.
"Hey you must be Rosalie" she smiled at me. I looked into my file quickly.
"Yeah, Isabella right?"
"Yeah but you can call me Bella"
