I groaned as sunlight began to fill my room. Ugh, Monday mornings. I slowly opened my eyes seeing my roommate flitter about the room as she got ready. By the look of it she had already showered and dried her hair. "What time is it?" I croaked out as I pulled my blanket over my face.
"Seven, you should probably hurry up, you wouldn't want to miss breakfast" she smiled at me. Miss breakfast? Was she crazy? They didn't stop serving breakfast until 7:50; I had eons to get ready. I slowly got up and looked at Rosalie. She was dressed like she had just fallen out of a Ralph Lauren ad, her hair and makeup already done to perfection. Rosalie made being insanely beautiful look effortless. After taking a shower I dried my hair and changed into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt.
We made our way into the cafeteria and started to look for Jasper. After looking for a moment, I turned to Rosalie, "He wouldn't sleep through breakfast would he?" I asked. During the weekend he had woken himself up promptly at two each afternoon. Rosalie was only a little bit better on the weekend than Jasper was; she managed to drag herself out of bed by noon.
"Um" Rosalie considered it for a moment "Oh, he's seeing the guidance counselor this morning, they're afraid he's going to be a trouble maker" I couldn't help but make a face. Jasper wasn't a trouble maker, a prankster yes but he would never do any real harm. He is such a sweetheart, he's really funny too; he recently began moving random things around on Rosalie's side of the room whenever she wasn't looking.
"Hey Rosalie!" I heard a high musical voice; I turned along with Rosalie to look for the source. A short black haired girl waved excitedly at my roommate.
"Hey Alice" Rosalie smiled back and started to walk over.
"How are you?" I looked at the two boys sitting with her, one was very large with curly hair; he looked like he was on some kind of steroids. The other was much leaner with bronze hair and light skin; I felt butterflies in my stomach as I looked at him.
"Good" I watched as Rosalie's eyes narrowed as she looked at the larger boy. He looked up at her, his eyes widened.
"Hey, I'm sorry for nearly flattening you yesterday" he blushed a little bit as he smiled. Rosalie nodded and turned back to the girl who must be Alice.
"Sit!" she motioned to the three open chairs at her table; I followed Rosalie's lead and sat down.
"This is my roommate Bella" Rosalie introduced me to the table.
"Nice to meet you Bella, I'm Alice" The small pixie greeted me excitedly. Everyone at the table introduced themselves, Emmett, who was Alice's enormous older brother, went first and Edward, her twin went second. We chatted while we all ate, "So what sport did you sign up for?" Alice asked with a smile, sports were a substitute for gym here and they were mandatory.
"Aerobics and Yoga" I blushed, I wasn't the most coordinated person and they seemed to be the safest options. "How about you?" I asked Alice.
"Advanced Ballet and Jazz" she beamed proudly. "Rosalie?" She turned to my gorgeous roommate who was eating a small container of yogurt.
"Soccer" she answered softly.
"Oh sweet me too, the men's team of course though" Emmett's voice was booming.
"Great" she gave an unenthused smile. Emmett grumbled and looked down discouraged, he didn't seem like he was used to girls treating him this way. "How about you Edward?" She asked trying to pull the attention away from herself.
"Tennis" the bronze haired angel said softly.
"Cool" I blushed again at the lameness of my voice; I was so plain in comparison to everyone at my table.
"So where's your brother?" Alice looked to Rosalie.
"With your mom actually" So the guidance counselor is their mother, I noted mentally as the two began to chat, their conversation being cut short as the assembly bell rang. We all walked to the auditorium together.
As I hit the top step I tripped, I would have face planted if it hadn't been for Emmett. "Careful!" he laughed as he helped me to my feet. He laughed again and patted my back. Rosalie looked him up and down again but averted her eyes once he noticed. I smiled to myself as her cheeks reddened slightly. Alice explained the seating process as we entered the auditorium. I walked with Edward and Alice to the front of the upperclassman side.
"Swan…" Alice appeared to me counting the seats. "Last row next to Jessica Stanley" she said with a grimace, a grimace that was exemplified on her twin's face. She pointed to a girl with dark curly hair who was talking animatedly with a girl a few rows ahead of her.
"Great" I sighed and started back to my seat. We waited for a few minutes before the dean of students came in and started into a boring diatribe about the new school year. He started a small roll call to introduce the new students, there were only about thirty of us so it didn't take long.
I smiled to myself as he called my roommates name, I turned and saw Emmett staring at her as she said present. "Jasper Hale?" the dean asked once, but Jasper didn't respond. I watched as he was staring intently at the wall to this right. "Jasper Hale?" The dean repeated loudly. I laughed softly as Rosalie elbowed him to get his attention.
"Fuck! What?" His surprised voice rang out. She signed something quickly to him. "Oh…present" he croaked out as laughter filled the auditorium, it wasn't mean spirited laughter though and Jasper laughed along with him. When the dean's voice rang out calling another name I turned back to the front, Alice was completely turned around in her seat looking towards the back of the auditorium. I followed her gaze and saw she was staring at Jasper.
A/N still working out the introductions. Keep reviewing please!
