I woke up, opened my eyes, and sighed. All I saw was the boring white ceiling of my room in the orphanage. It had all been a dream. It had been amazing, and it had felt so real. So much for my perfect family. I twisted around the bed until I was lying on my side. Then I looked down my bed. Whoa.
My bed seemed so big. It was huge… nothing like my twin sized bed. Then I sat up in my bed. I looked around the big room. Everything was still there. The window seat the hammock, the desk. Everything. Don't all rooms have white ceilings, Bella? God, are you stupid. Duh. I plopped back down onto the comfy bed. I rubbed my eyes.
"Well, I feel stupid," I said to myself.
"Why?"
"Oh my God!" I sat up in bed. The closet door was now open, and three people were walking into my room. Of course, the secret passage thing from last night. I couldn't believe that was real…
Alice took in my startled expression, "You get used to people walking into your room. Trust me." She said, giving me a reassuring smile. I heard Edward laugh.
"You get used to it? Alice, the passage is in my closet," Edward said. Jasper and I laughed.
"Well it had to be! I mean nobody can walk into my closet! Well, except for Bella!" she said. We all laughed again.
It was incredible how I was so comfortable around them already. I had never had a real friend before. The other kids at the orphanage were…well… big jerks. I didn't even have an imaginary friend for God's sake!
"Alright. So tomorrow is Bella's first day of school here. So… what do we do…" Jasper said. Edward and Jasper immediately looked Alice. Alice was already deep in thought.
"Well, I think it would be a good idea to change first…" Alice said.
"Oh, c'mon, Alice! Stop thinking about clothes for just a second," Edward said with that crooked smile. Jasper smiled and Alice giggled.
"Aright, alright. Well, she needs school supplies," Alice said, looking at me to make sure. I thought about it. I looked around my room. I figured anything school related would be in my desk, so I walked over. I opened one of the drawers.
"Rose and Em got it for me," I said. I looked through the drawers until I came to very last one. "Whoa… a laptop?" They all looked over. The laptop was really cool. It matched my rooms theme: stripes. All the stripes were brown, blue, and green. And then on one of the corners it said 'Isabella' in a beautiful cursive.
"Nice," Jasper said.
"I can't believe Rose and Em got this for me," I said, mostly to myself.
"Actually," Alice smiled, "Eddie did!" I looked at him.
"Really?" I said. Why would Edward, someone who had never met me before, give me a laptop?
"Yeah… I was online, and I just figured I could get you one. Rose and Em, said you were gonna be here soon, so I got one that said Isabella. I didn't know you preferred Bella…" I could tell he was kind of embarrassed. His cheeks were a little redder than usual, and he was fiddling around with his hands.
"You didn't have to… but thanks," I said. I put it on my desk. I didn't know what else to say so I just shut my mouth before something embarrassing slipped out. I think Jasper could sense that I was kind of nervous so being the awesome person he is, he changed the topic.
"Alright. No school supply shopping…" I looked around my room. So I had my desk, my bed, and my closet. Everything fully furnished and fully stocked with everything I would need. Then I looked at my window seat. Alice was sitting there examining her nails. The two bookcases next to my window seat were empty. I loved to read, but I didn't have many of my own books. I always got them from the orphanage library.
"How about the book store?" They all looked up at me. They seemed kind of surprised.
"What?" I said. Alice seemed really confused, and kind of disappointed. Jasper seemed impressed. I'm not sure what to think about Edward's expression…
"I can't believe it. You are the first girl in the history of history to NOT want to go shopping for clothes! How could this be? I thought you would be a girly girl like everyone else. I should have known when you were wearing sweatpants yesterday!" Alice went on and on about what she thought. I was confused.
"Wait, why did you all think I was going to be a girly girl?" I said. They all kind of quieted down. "Well? You guys have seemed to be expecting a lot of things from me…"
"Well…" Alice started. "We looked you up…" My mind went blank. I didn't say anything.
"Bella… I know that sounds really creepy, but most girls here are really girly and all they do is shop, and we just wanted to see if you were like them, and we looked you up," I really envied how Jasper could talk so calmly all the time…
"Why did you look me up though?" I said, still confused. Both Alice and Jasper looked at Edward who was now really blushing.
"Edward was searching you so we all kind of joined him!" Alice screamed before anyone could stop her. I looked back at Edward. He looked at me.
"I… well… most girls here are like what Jasper said, and I just wanted to see if you… if you were any different," he said. Jasper continued,
" We found some pictures of you when you were younger with your mo- uh, with someone. You looked kind of… girly, I guess."
"Oh… well. If you guys really want to know… I'm not really that girly. I'd rather read than go out somewhere. I'd rather wear sweatpants and a t-shirt than skinny jeans and a tank top. I'm kind of a… nerd. I guess, that's the way to put it," I said. I really hoped that I hadn't ruined anything. I probably had. That explains why yesterday they all had wide eyes when they saw me… that's the reason I tripped in the first place. Great, they had big expectations, and then they saw… me.
