A/N: Ok I've updated this chapter. When I first posted this I only put half up seen as I still needed to do work on it.
Family of the rich and famous
Chapter 3
I waited a moment as they took me in, not moving or saying anything. I raised one hand shyly and gave a small wave.
"BELLA"
The scream of my best friend nearly sent me into the world of the deaf as she threw her arms round me in a hug. I laughed at their shock for I had been sure Edward had seen me as I climbed right up to the top of the bleachers so I could come from behind them. They had been easy to spot, the boys had got even bigger, especially Emmet, Rosalie had got even more beautiful that she shone, and Alice, well I think she has gotten even shorter.
As if her shout had snapped the others out of there stupor I found myself pulled from Alice's tight hug into another, as Emmett spun be allowed. Somewhere in between this they had all shouted my name and from the moment I was set down by the bear I was pulled into other pairs of arms for a hug. I felt my body move for me being repeatedly sent back to certain people before in classic Bella fashion I fell in to the arms of someone. That someone was Edward.
I had not yet had a chance to lay my eyes solely on him and found myself trapped in the gaze of the emerald eyes I knew so well. I placed my eyes on his chest feeling the muscles that had developed over the years and felt his heart beat a steady rhythm against my palm. I licked my lips, which felt suddenly dry, even though I had plenty of Chap Stick on, and continued to beat his emerald eyes with my brown. He gave me his perfect crooked smile before he pulled me up right and I was brought out of my trance by Emmett's booming laugh.
"I see the modelling has done nothing for your balance." He chuckled thankfully at a reasonable level, but I still knew I had to shut him up before he gave it all away.
"Shut it Em!" I told him and before he could interrupt I carried on "I'm not joking. You'll give the game away."
"What do you mean Bella?" Jasper asked me is normal quite tone of voice."Do you not want people to know who you are?"
"Kind of" I told them quietly and seeing their confused faces continued "I'll explain but you need to sit down and stay quite." I warned. They quickly complied and I found myself sitting in the middle of the group.
"Ok, I'll start from the beginning. Since I have left Forks I have been having nightmares over what happened here. Four months ago I came to the decision that the best way to deal with them would be if I was to return here and face my past demons."
"The boys of course wouldn't let me come alone, so we arranged for us to have the rest of this year of work so me, Liam, Collin, David, Joey and Harrison can finish are education and the rest can act as guardians. We decided we wanted are arrival to be a complete surprise, only telling my dad, the school and your parents so if we need a doctor it will be ne that won't be affected by our famous status. As you may guess that's more me then any of the others" I joked and was rewarded with a few chuckles from my friends who listened intently except for Alice who seemed prepared to ask another question. Knowing what it would be I answered her before she said it. "Esme insisted on being are interior designer and as you were catching on we got her to feed you a later date of arrival then what was true." Clearing that up, I continued.
"We arrived earlier this morning and we decided we would come and make this party a bit more interesting. I had been up in my room getting changed when I spotted my fleece and remembered how no one yet had put me and Izzy together without being told the truth. They probably just think I'd make a good look-alike. Taking this into consideration I thought it would be fun to surprise the rest of the student body by coming as Bella Swan and revealing myself as Izzy Goldstein at tonight's bonfire." I smiled wickedly at my friends who sat there silently. "You can talk now." I told them and was bombarded by either congratulations on the plan, laughter at what they believed the reactions would be like, or, from Alice, complaints about not telling her.
"I told you we wanted it to be a surprise. Plus the less chance of it getting to the press the better. I know you wouldn't have intentionally let it slip, but they are sneaky. Remember when they found out about Joeys online girlfriend." I groaned thinking back to that month. Joey had always been more serious with girls then his brother, and like all of us wanted her to like him for him. Online dating was the perfect solution and he found someone he really liked and was actually planning to tell the truth too. Then the press was able to hack into his e-mail account and found out. Fortunately he and Lisa are still together, but it was a tough month filled with preposterous questions and rumours.
"Good point!" Alice commented "Speaking of Joey, where is he, and your over cousins for that matter?"
I smirked and let out a small giggle "Stalking the prey" I nearly started all out laughing at there faces "They are indicating those who are specking bad of me, for future revenge schemes." I had long since given up trying to stop those "The plan I suggested had them just getting to know the school and students without them knowing who they really are, but Collin suggested this." They began to softly laugh along with me.
"Anything we can do to help" Alice asked.
"You already have. The screaming of my name should have started up the gossip mills. That will make there job a lot easier. I am for once glad for you're ability to make me deaf, Alice.
"But how are they going to manage that? They are the Goldstein boy's; they can be recognised in any hairstyle and any clothing." Rosalie asked scanning the area for a sight of one of the elusive boys.
"But they can if you include a wig. There all wearing something to cover anything designer and have put wigs on. We have done this before you know." I laughed.
"When you have been acting?" Edward asked smiling at the idea of what were doing.
"No!" I answered holding in my laughter as I thought back "To escape from fans. They even dressed as girls once." I soon found them joining in my laughter as it burst out. Eventually I started to pint them out inconspicuously.
They had rally gone all out with the disguises. Part of it was to get a laugh out of each other; the rest was to just make it a bigger surprise. Even I had one on, another surprise for my friends. When I had fixed my hair in the car I had put it on seen as my hair has been recently styled and would be obvious that it had been done professionally. I was nothing compare to the boys.
They had put on coloured contacts, sunglasses, hats and some outrageous wigs, yet all in enough moderation as not to stand out, amazingly. For example Joey had on an orange wig, blue contacts and a rather large blue jumper. All he needed was freckles and he would have fit in perfectly with the Weasleys. He was one of the one's I pointed out.
We joked on for the rest of the hour laughing about some of the silly thing we saw and had happened over the years. I particularly liked the perfect shot down Rosalie delivered Mike Newton, bully extraordinaire. It was something along the lines of her preferring a rabid puke green and sunshine yellow racoon with lice over him.
I was just telling them of how at Gareth's last concert we had all had a massive prank war that had the stage manager running out screaming, when I received a text from Kenneth who I noticed was with the other guys know.
Were ready to do the go. K
Why are we leaving now. We've only been here an hour at best. B
Let's put it this way. IF I HEAR ONE MORE COMMENT ABOUT YOU HEADS WILL ROLE. G
You would have never had thought that the quietist of us had the biggest temper. Gareth's actually pretty good at pranks as well now I think about it.
I'm coming. Meet you at the car. B
I texted the last message quickly and stood up explaining what was going on to the Cullen's. I told them I would call them later when I knew what was happening and told them to tell Esme I said hi.
As I walked to our Land rover I saw Luke over by the offices explaining something to the principle, who was standing there god smacked. He nodded rapidly to what ever he Luke suggested and accompanied his movements with words I couldn't hear.
As I climbed into the car I asked them what was going on. The plan was perfectly fine. We could have reviled ourselves a little sooner if they were that angry. They told me the new plan was better and to do as exactly what they said.
By six that evening I was dressed in a plane slick green halter neck that came up to my knees. I also had a pair of black heeled sandals on and matching green and black bracelets and earrings. My hair had been styled so that it looked wind blown and I had put on green and gold makeup.
My cousins stood round me in black dress pants and a t-shirt. Kenneth, Gareth and Harrison also had on black jackets and I was able to see the others had there's but obviously only to battle the traditional Forks weather.
As the ushered me out into the cars again I found myself asking again what was going on and again found myself having no answer, as they just drove of to were ever we were going. Before they stopped though I found something was quickly tied over my eyes and that I was being lifted out of the car.
I heard the footsteps of who ever was carrying me quickly carry me in somewhere to escape the wind that bit at my shoulders. Whoever he was, carried me down a network of corridors I couldn't see and eventually stopped in a room. They sat me down on a chair but didn't go as far as to undo the blindfold.
"Know Bella, you don't need to know anything else at the moment except when you're name is said you're to walk out and over to us on stage. I f you don't we are going to destroy your copy of withering heights. Understand." Someone I recognised as Gareth threatened me quickly. As I nodded my head he removed the blindfold and quickly departed through the curtains of to the side. What Alice told me about the football party in her e-mails resounded through my head.
"To finish of there is going to be a big dance in the school auditorium"
I fearfully recognised the room as the dressing room behind the stage of said auditorium.
I stayed put, knowing I had no choice but as I took a step towards the curtain, taking in the noises of what seemed to be a crowd on the other side, the sound of a guitar Riff sounded through the air sounded silencing all over noise and I saw light flood under the curtain. Spotlights obviously.
"Good evening Forks" I heard Kenneth shout and if I hadn't been so used to it the screams may have made my ears fall off. As the screams died down he started talking again. "Well I see you all recognise me now" He said and I laughed at the inside joke. "You may not have realised but I was here earlier today, with all my cousins." More screams and gasps of astonishment were heard.
"Yes, you heard right" Liam teased the crowd "And you're hearing right if you hear us say we have moved here" More screams.
"We're going to school here" Harrison added "and Kenneth, Luke and Gareth will actually be teaching music." More screams, lets just say there are screams when ever they talk.
"Know a lot of you may be asking 'Why here? What so great about Forks'" Collin chimed in after banging some drum cymbals to get attention. "Well let me tell you. but first tell me who's missing up here." A few shouts of Izzy were heard "I can't hear you" He shouted.
"IZZY" The shout made me stumble back a bit in surprise.
"Yes Izzy!" Gareth added to the speech. "Funny how mostly boys realised." I guess from the sudden quite he had dished out his famous stare. Like I said, he has the biggest temper.
"Now what if we told you Izzy used to live here." Joey decided to drop the bomb, and gasps filled the noise outside.
"What if she used to come to school here?" David joined his brother. "What if most of you knew her?" More gasps.
"Don't believe them do you." Kenneth came back in to it "She has changed a lot. For example she doesn't trip over everything now. Only half of everything." I heard mutterings and gasps as some put it together. "I see you are getting it. So It will be my pleasure to introduce for the first time too you, the new and improved…" He stopped and paused for dramatic effect and I felt my heart stop.
"BELLA SWAN"
