Chapter 1: Home Sweet Home, for now
"Bella, Bella, Belllllllla." Aidens voice awoke me from my deep sleep.
"What?!" my voice was hoarse from not speaking for so long.
I heard James' deep chuckle from the front seat. "Well good morning to you too, Mrs. Ulliel."
My whole body froze as my eyes widened. Please God, don't let me have spoken about that dream I had last night, especially not in front of my three best friends.
"So, who is this Gaspard Ulliel guy anyways? He must be pretty good looking for you to be dreaming about him and you like that." Dave winked at me in the rear view mirror.
"DAVE!" I yelled as the other two laughed along with him. I could feel my face flush a bright red as I slumped down in my seat. "So what did you guys want anyways?"
"We just wanted to tell you that we're about 5 minutes from our new home." James said.
"Ugh, tell me again why our parents sent us here? I mean seriously couldn't they have chosen somewhere with a little more sunlight, it looks so depressing." Aiden said as he stared out the window.
"Hey as long as there are some hot girls here I'll be fine" James said as I rolled my eyes.
"I'm good as long as theres a mall near by. I can do with missing those shopping sprees mom always brought me on but I need to start restocking my book shelves since I couldn't bring all of my books with me." I said as I watched the green wall of trees pass us by.
"Seriously Bella, I think you're the only girl who loves to shop yet is smart as hell and would rather stay home and read Pride & Prejudice for the millionth time than go out and see a movie." James said as he turned in his seat to face me. "And don't you ever get bored of that book?"
"For your information I doubt I ever will get bored of it, its an amazing book. And maybe the reason you've never encountered a girl with some intelligence who also enjoys shopping is because you have never dated someone with an IQ higher then 40." I replied while receiving a high five from Aiden. James just scoffed and turned back around in his seat.
"Hopefully James said goodbye to all of his girlfriends before we left because I doubt hes going to find anyone like that here." Aiden said.
"Guys, I know you're going to miss living in New York but I mean Port Angeles is only about an hour away and then theres Seattle too. You know why our parents sent us to live here. They wanted us safe and the only way that could happen was to get away. That professor at our old school was way to close to figuring out our secret." Dave said as he tried to comfort us.
As Dave finished speaking I realized how grateful I was that I was moving with them and not just by myself. The first plan that our parents had come up with had consisted of all of us moving to four different states and eventually meeting again when we applied to university. That plan was gone before they had even finished explaining it to us. No matter what the four of us were going to stay together and we would fight as long and hard as it took to convince our parents of that. Though we had our differences we all loved each other no matter what and were becoming more and more like siblings everyday. Our families had always been extremely close and had forced us to grow up together, not that we had minded. Our small group consisted of three other people other then myself.
Dave, the oldest, was more of the father figure. He always took care of the rest of us no matter what. He was sweet and caring but insanely funny. He loved to have fun but as soon as it was time for business he was serious as hell.
There was James, the ladies man of the group. He loved going out and partying until the early hours, not that his parents would allow that during the school year but he always found a way around that. He could get any girl he wanted, well usually, seeing as his blond hair, blue eyes and very toned body deserved to be in a magazine instead of freely walking the streets of New York City.
Aiden, the laid back one of the bunch, related the most to me, which was probably the reason why he was my best friend. There was always something that attracted girls to him but he rarely spoke to them let alone dated them. They always said he was extremely good looking, who knew maybe it was the shaggy brown hair or worn out leather jacket maybe even the skinny jeans but it didn't matter to me, because I could never see him as anything other then Aiden Sutter, the little boy who I grew up with.
And then there was me, Isabella Swan, Bella for short. The only girl of the group and plain and ordinary with brown hair and brown eyes with one exception: I was so clumsy it was almost a disability. To the human eye we are typical teenagers, hanging out and goofing off but no matter how hard we tried we could never be classified as "normal" or "ordinary". The reason behind this being we in fact have powers, magical powers.
I sighed as we drove up to out new house. A 3 story Victorian style with forest surrounding it on all sides. We all exited the car and walked to the moving truck we had rented to unload all of our luggage. We carried our stuff inside to the living room and just stood there looking around at our new home. Leave it to Aiden to break the silence with a totally random statement.
"Are you sure theres no Hogwarts? I mean seriously a place that cool could not possibly just be fiction, and hey if our parents had forced us to move there I would have been packed and ready in about 5 seconds." Aiden said as he came up beside me.
"Aiden, shut up." James said.
"I'm just saying," he replied as I felt his arm wrap around my shoulder "well I guess this is Home Sweet Home for the next couple of years, better get comfortable."
No matter how much I already disliked Forks I had a feeling this was going to be one decision I would not come to regret. I didn't know yet but in the next couple of months I would realize how right I was.
So this is just the first chapter, mostly just introducing the characters. There will probably be a second chapter sometime soon and they'll definitely be meeting the Cullen kids in that one. Please Review! I'd love to know what you think of this story :)
