& I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while I was busy :P
Harry & Cousins
Bella POV
My dad came in as I was
cooling down from my productive gym session. 'Bells! So how do you
like your gym?'
I smiled as I gulped down some water, 'Dad
it's so goddamn amazing. I can have fun without the pressure
everywhere! I even managed to stick a back handspring double pike! I
tried a full in back out as well! I had so much fun!'
My dad smiled back at
me, 'I'm really glad you liked it kiddo. But we have to get going
in 'bout half an hour for Harry's place, remember?'
'Of
course I do dad,' I gathered up my things and went back to my room,
'I'm going to take a quick shower and change.'
'Awesome
Bella, I'll see you downstairs in half an hour then.'
I pushed my laptop aside and flopped down on my bed. Forks is a wonderful place. All I had seen was the secret room, and I felt like I could like here in this town forever, as long as the room was there.
Reminded of the time, I quickly grabbed my strawberry shampoo and conditioner, bath gel and raced to the bathroom across the hallway to the toilet to take my shower.
I skipped, yes skipped, happily back to my room after my shower to put on something for dinner with Uncle Harry and his family. I found my favorite pair of grey skinny jeans and jumped into them. I also wore the shiny black flats that I loved. Then I flung my closet wide open, trying to find a top to wear.
Then there was a knock on the door as my mom walked into the room, she was holding my dark blue wrap top which was again, one of my favorites.
'Oh my gosh mom, I was just looking for that. Where'd you get it?'
My mom handed me the top, 'I think it must have gotten mixed up with my clothes while we moved.'
As soon as my mom left, I changed into my wrap top and put on a cropped black cardigan. I grabbed my handbag, threw a few essentials in it and ran downstairs.
'Dad, I'm ready!' I called out.
My dad came into the living room as he threw his jacket on, 'I think your mom is waiting for us by the car. Let's go.'
As I walked outside I wondered what Harry's family would be nice. I hope my cousins would be nice and friendly. They were going to be the only people I will know at my new school. Well, I knew Mike Newton. But, well, he scares me a bit the way he was trying to hang around me so much. I hope he wouldn't be in any of my classes if he was in my year. That would suck.
When we arrived at Uncle Harry's house, I could see a girl my age standing in the front yard. She ran over to the car, 'Bella! It's so nice to finally meet you! I'm Carissa Swan.'
I gave her a hug, 'It nice to meet you Carissa!'
Carissa was also wearing a wrap top but hers was black. She had glossy dark brown shoulder length hair and big brown eyes which stood out. She was a bit tan which was strange as Forks was not a sunny place. She had an athletic built and was slightly taller than me.
After Carissa exchanged greetings with my parents she led us inside, 'Mom is preparing dinner now, and dad is inside waiting for you.'
As I walked into their cozy home, I realized that I had been so busy with gymnastics before I moved here; I didn't know anything much about Uncle Harry's family. I didn't even know what Carissa's name was. But she knew my name. I sighed. I would have to pay attention and find out more about them. After all, they were my relatives.
Uncle Harry was behind the front door, 'Charlie! Renee! Bella! I haven't seen you in so long. It's so nice you're going to be living in the same town with us now after all these years.'
Carissa laughed and tugged on my arm, 'Come on Bella, I'll bring you to meet Carmen, my sister.'
I glanced at my dad who nodded at me to follow Carissa.
Carissa bought me up the stairs and knocked on what I presumed was Carmen's door as there was a big sign on it declaring, 'CARMENS ROOM DO NOT ENTER OR PREPARE TO BE SHOT!'
'Yeah?' a voice inside of the room asked.
Carissa pushed the door opened and gestured for me to follow her. Carmen had a very organized room. Her bed was very well made and her desk had nothing on it except for an exercise book which she was writing in.
As soon as she saw me Carmen jumped up from her chair and gave me a big hug, 'Bella! It's so nice to finally meet you! Welcome to Forks!'
I grinned, 'Thank you! You're Carmen, right?'
'Yup!'
Carmen looked very similar to Carissa but she was a bit taller and her hair was straight as a ruler, not wavy like Carissa. They were twins and they had lived in Forks all their lives. Also, I noticed that Carmen wasn't tan at all. She was very neatly dressed, which matched her room.
'Carissa why don't you show Bella your messed up room while I finish my homework,'
Carissa frowned, 'My room is completely normal. It just doesn't look like it's from a furniture magazine like yours does.'
Carmen rolled her eyes and turned to face me, 'Sorry I can't talk to you now Bella, I really have to get this assignment done by tomorrow.'
I smiled at her, 'It's okay Carmen, I totally understand.'
Carmen smiled at me gratefully as I left the room.
When we got to Carissa's room, which was a bit like my room, ordinary, a little bit messy but well organized, Carissa sat down on her bed and motioned me to take a seat next to her.
'So Bella, tell me about yourself! Do you like shopping? If you do there's this great mall with great prices near town. I could totally take you there tomorrow after school! We'd have a blast!'
I was surprised at Carissa's sudden offer but I nodded and said, 'I'd like that.'
Carissa beamed, 'That's awesome!' She grabbed her laptop and switched it on, 'So, what do you like apart from gymnastics? Do you like music?'
'I haven't really listened to much music lately. I've been busy.'
Carissa nodded like she understood, 'Was it a boyfriend?'
I laughed, 'No way. I was just training for the National Championships. You know gymnastics…'
Carissa gasped, 'Did I mention I love gymnastics too?'
'No…' I laughed.
'I'm on the school gymnastics team! You should totally join!'
I nodded, 'Yeah, I think that would be fun.'
Carissa beamed, 'Cool! There's team training tomorrow after school, bring a leotard and a snack or something.'
'Sure.'
'Girls! Dinner is ready!' a voice suddenly called out.
Carissa stood up and grabbed my hand, 'Mom makes the best lasagna, you have to try some.'
'I'd love to!' I said as Carissa dragged me back down the stairs.
This might not have been one of my best chapters. Please review anyway :D
