Chapter 3- First things First

The past three months have been a blast. But I guess summer vacation has to end sometime. Edward and I have become best friends, with the rest of the group, but Edward I can open up to I guess. Most of the summer was spent with the gang going to the beach, shopping, taking the Hales Helicopter to the City, shopping, parties. Oh, did I mention more SHOPPING?!

On the 6th week here we celebrated Edwards and Alice's 17th birthday in July. Edward got a new car, a Volvo C30,(I like that one better) shiny silver and Alic a Porsche 911 Turbo, yellow.

Tomorrow is my first day of East Hampton High, Home of The Bulldogs, as a junior with the rest of the gang. I was getting really nervous, but Jasper assured me that it was going to be fine. Apparently I'm not the only new kid. 2 boys I think. Forgot what he said.

Jasper and Alice still haven't gotten together yet. Seriously, I was going to hurt both of them if they don't get together soon.

I still didn't get around to telling Emmett about my abuse, or anyone other then Edward for that matter. I'm just scared he wont believe me or something. But I still have time. But one thing Edward doesn't know is that I still hurt myself on some occasions, like last night for instance. I;m trying hard to stop but just something get to me.

I woke up early in morning to get ready for school. UGHH! I picked a dark wash denim skirt that came mid thigh, a navy tank top with white flowers and white flip flops. I need to remember to thanks Alice for all her help with clothes. (clothes in profile)

I walked to my bathroom to do my hair and makeup. My hair is a mess, well thats my fault for falling asleep right after the shower. I finished with my hair and kept it into light waves. I made my makeup look light and natural. Once I was finish I walked down stairs to get some food. I grabbed a pop tart and walked out to the garage.

As I was walking to the garage a silver Volvo pulled up behind me. In all hid glory, Edward popped out of the drivers side. I looked over at the passenger to see Tanya.

"Hello stranger, are you going my way?" he teased walking over to me. I looked back over at Tanya. She seem happy.

"Why yes I am." I responded in a southern bell voice.

"Want a ride?"

"No thanks. I don't want to disturb you and Tanya." I waved at her and she smiled and waved back. Sweet girl. Lucky too. " And plus I want to drive my baby." I looked back to my open garage that was holding my midnight blue Audi.

"Oh I see how it is. You pick a car over your best friend. I'm hurt Isabella." he teased. He put a hand over his heart and pouted. He looks adorable! Why does he have to be so cute?! Its not fair!

I rolled my eyes. "I'll see you at school, Eddie." I stuck out me tongue. I knew he hated to be called Eddie, but pretty much I can get away with it. He pulled me into a hug.

"Ok, fine!" he sighed dramatically. I rolled my eyes.

"Bye Tanya!" I called. She yelled back a "see you soon but it was muffled from the car doors being shut.

I looked to see if Emmett was still home and wanted a ride but I guess he went to go pick up Rose and Jasper because his Range Rover wasn't here.

I got in and put my Tote bag in the passenger seat. I backed out and drove down the long circled driveway. It took about 10 minutes to get to the school. (picture in Profile. Had to use my school so whatever.) There were kids pulling into the parking lot and some walking from the buses. A lot of students had a lot of expensive cars, well I guess that was to be expected. Students were lounging around the campus talking to there friends that they haven't seen in how ever long, some jocks tossing a foot ball around and some plastic looking cheerleaders giggling there heads off watching them.

As I was looking for a spot I see Edward standing in the middle of one next to his car. He moved out of the way for me to pull in. I reached for my bag when Edward opened the door for me.

"Fancy meeting you here." he smiled.

"Oh shut up." I playfully smacked his arm as I got out. He chuckled.

He lead the way to the schools office so I can get my schedule and a parking permit. As we were walking in 2 blond boys were walking out. Whao... They where fucking hot! They were definitely brothers. Both Blond, Blue eyed, tall with a nice build as far as I can see.(Both in profile)

As they were walking the younger looking one looked at me and smiled. I smiled back and continued to walk into the office.

"I guess those were the new kids." Edward said.

"Yep. I'm sorta happy that I'm not the only one you know? Must be hard for them, I actually have friends and family I know, but they just have themselves."

"True." he said and smiled down at me.

As I was walking to homeroom I was looking at how every one was dresses. They all looked like they could be from Gossip Girl or they could be celebrities.

I walked into my home room and walked up to the teacher to get my slip signed. He just finished signing the new kids. He turned around and smiled again

"Hey." I said

"Hey." he said back smiling. "Whats your name? I'm Tommy by the way." he said.

"I'm Bella." I said. I walked over to the teacher and got the slip signed. I walked over to the seat next to Tommy and sat down. "Your new here to I guess."

"Yeah me and my older brother James. Hes a Junior with me." he said.

"Oh, I totally thought he was a senior. So I'm guess in your a his twin?"

"No, I'm 9 months younger. My birthday was actually a few days ago. Just turned 17." he laughed

I smiled. "Well happy belated birthday Tommy!"

"Well thank you Bella." he chuckled

"So where did you move from?" I asked

"North Carolina, Wilmington. I moved here with my mom and brother. What about you? Your new right?"

"Yeah I moved here from Phoenix, Arizona. I was living with my mom but I missed my brother and dad so much so I decided to live with them." it wasn't totally a lie.

"Oh sweet, is your brother that guy you were walking with?"

"Edward? Oh no hes my best friend." Unfortunately I added in my head. "He was showing me where the office was."

"Oh cool." he smiled. "Tell me about your brother."

"Hmmm what to say. Well hes my twin. Hes a big tall muscle goofball. Hes a teddy bear though." I giggled

"He seems like a cool guy."

"Yeah he is, I love him to death. So what about your brother?"

"James is a cool guy. Hes like my best friend and apparently a gentleman, people say" he laughed. "He was upset that we moved here though. He left a girlfriend at home, still upset." he smiled sadly

"You seem really close to him,unusual for siblings that have a age difference" we laughed. The bell rang signaling for us to get to first period.

"Damn. Well it was nice meeting you Bella." he smiled

"Yeah you too." I smiled we started to walk out the door when I called him "Hey!" he turned around surprised. "Wanna sit with me and my family at lunch today? Invite your brother too."

He grinned and nodded "See you then!" and walked off.

The rest of the day was boring. Got a few "hellos" from people in my class and "where you from?". Blah blah blah. A nice girl in my English class asked me if I wanted to sit with her at lunch.

"I'm sorry, but I'm sitting with my family. Your welcome to sit with us though." I smiled

"Thanks but I'll take a rain check ok?" she looked hopful

"Sure no problem Angela. I'll see you tomorrow!" I said when we were walking to the lunch room.

I was walking down the hall way when I felt someone put a arm around my shoulder. Thinking it was Edward I leaned into it, but boy was I wrong.

"Hey beautiful." said the voice. I looked up to see a blond boy with blue eyes. He had a round face with a grin on his face. Ew. Jock. I shook off his arm from my shoulder and glared at him.

"And you are?" I sneered

"Newton. Mike Newton. Must be a pleasure." (Picture in profile) I was shocked. What a cocky bastard! " And whats your name delicate?" You got to be kidding me.

"You don't deserve to know." I said walking away. I guess hes not great with rejection and grabbed my arm."

"Fine. I don't need to know. Lets get to know each other over dinner." I was going to reply when Jasper came to the rescue.

"Back off Newton." he said

"Who's gonna make me?" he said pulling me into his side wrapping an arm around my waist.

"Me." I looked around to a very ticked off Emmett "I'll give you 5 seconds to get away from my sister or else I WILL rip it off." Mike actually looked scared.

"Sorry man, I didn't know." he dropped his hold of me and walked into the cafeteria and smiled at me. Emmett rushed over to me.

"Did he hurt you? Where did he touch you?" he said threw his teeth.

"Em, I'm fine. Thanks for the save guys." I smiled at Jasper. He nodded.

"If he ever gives you trouble Bella just give anyone of us a call." Jasper said. I smiled and nodded. When we were walking to the table I remembered I invited Tommy and James to eat with us.

"Oh! Em I invited the new kids to eat with us. Tommy and James. Hope thats ok..."

"Yup sure. More the merrier!" he laughed loudly

"Try not to scare them please." I sighed

"I'm not making any promises little sister." is he really that dumb? I shook my head

"You do know that I'm 3 minutes older then you, right?" he looked like his puppy just got hit my a car.

"What?! You are! Noooo!" then he ran away to the table. I looked at Jasper then we both busted out laughing.

"Wow. Your brother is an idiot."

"Yep." I said popping the p

Once we were all sat down I looked for Tommy and James. As if right on time they both walked in. I stood up and waved them over. Tommy flashed me a bright smile while James was looking down at the floor. When they got over I introduced them.

"Ok guys this is Tommy and James." I said gesturing to the both of them. They all got hellos from everyone. "This is Edward and his girlfriend Tanya. Next to them is his twin sister Alice. Jasper and his twin Rosalie. Last but not least, my L-I-T-T-L-E brother Emmett. Him and Rose are going out." Emmett glared at me while every one laughed. "So grab a chair and sit."

I sat down next to Edward and James to the seat to my right. I turned to him and smiled. He smiled back but it was small. Definitely still upset I guess. "Hey I'm Bella, didn't get to formally meet you but I heard great things from Tommy."

"I hope good things. Nice meeting you Bella."

The conversation between all of us flowed. James seemed to perk up a bet but not much. He seem out of it, like he was in his own world. But when he did speak up he seemed really sweet and caring. Just like Tommy. Tommy was more out going it seems right now. I took both of there cell numbers and gave them mine. They both fit onto our little group. We definitely need a cool name for us! I thought in my head.

Time flew by and the it was time for 8th period.

"So who has what next?" Alice asked.

"Bio" Edward and I said at the same time. We smiled at each other.

"Spanish with you Alice." Emmett said

"I have Spanish, also." James said

"Great!" Emmett boomed.

"I have Tech." Rosalie answered

"English." Tommy said

"Gym." Tanya groaned

"Me too." Jasper spoke up.

"Damn, I was hoping Bella would be in Spanish too." she sulked.

"Sorry Alice. We already had History together." I said

"Well lets get going Bella." said Edward.

"Sure. See you guys later." I called over my shoulder. Edward leaned in and hugged and kissed Tanya.

"I'll see you later." he said and she mumbled a "mhmm"

When we walked down to the science wing I asked Edward how he like Tommy and James.

"There pretty awesome, they fit in with our little group."

"Yeah I was meaning to talk to you about that."

"...What about...?" he seemed scared to asked. Silly boy.

"We need a name for our group." I said as we walked into the class room. Edward busted out laughing. "This is no laughing matter Edward Cullen. Its a serious dilemma." I said with a straight face. But looking at Edward red face from laughing I cracked and joined him.

Another one down! How do you like James And Tommy?! I have some plans for them... next chapter some drama is gonna go down. Yep, shit is gonna hit the fan! Should be up later or tomorrow morning.

Fangs Up Baby!
