"Hello."

"Hi?"

"Is Emmet here?"

That's all it took for me to really open my eyes and look at the two guys that are standing on my door step. A hello from a really cute guy. His name is Edward. The other Jasper. They're a year older than me like my brother.

Sorry forgot to introduce myself. My name is Bella I'm 17 years old and as you know I have an older brother Emmet, he's a year older than me and we're a lot closer than my parents expected us to be. Emmet's into sports and video games. Before he met Edward and Jasper he had me to teach and surprisingly my clumsiness got a lot better.

Let's back track shall we. I met the boys one day after school when they asked for Emmett. "Yeah he's down in the basement. Come on in and I'll show you the way." We turned our basement into a get together. One side was Ems and the other mine. Thank God it was in a shape of a C. When you first walk in all you see is the theater area with snacks and an open bar, turn to the left you have Emmet and his gaming area behind the door and the right is my little room where I have all my screens for multi-tasking.

"Guys come on and shoot him already! Dude?! Are you freaking kidding me? Get. Him! Come in squirt! I need help jump in help me kill this guy!" He yelled. I grabbed a controller and did three headshots. "You have a couple guest here who would gladly take over for me. I'll be in my area buzz when you need me." I said while handing my controller to Edward. "Dude your sister knows how to play Call Of Duty? Siickk!" Was all I heard while closing the door.

I went to my side to Skype my two besties Rose and Alice. "Hey B what's up?" "Nothing much same old same old" "Are those jerks still bothering you?" Rose said while getting angry. "Yeah but it's fine guys I can handle this." I said trying to smile. They were talking about Jessica and Lauren, the two bullies that are at my school who pick on me because I hang out with boys and play sports.

"My offer still stands about homeschooling. My mom is really getting into this whole cheer competition and it's just me and Ro and she probably wouldn't mind taking you in since she wanted to have more kids in the house. I can have her talk to your parents if you want." Al said and to be honest that sounds amazing. Being with my friends 24/7 every day minus Friday-Monday. "You know what? You're right. I'll go talk to my parents right now and I'll call you guys back ok?"

"Can't wait B. This'll be more fun with us three together!" Ro said getting all jumpy like Al. "Ok I'll call back later and tell you guys how it went. Al in 30 mins have your mom call and hopefully they'll be on board." I said ending the call. I went to Ems room and asked when mom and dad will be home. "They should be here in like 10 mins. Why do you need anything?" He said looking up from the screen worried. "No Emmet I just need to talk to them. Go back to playing. Oh and theirs another guy in the next building." I said walking away.

I went into the living room and started writing bullet notes and a great reason why. I had a few minutes to kill before they get home. Might as well practice.

"Mom, dad, please sit I have something important to ask you. As you know I've been having some problems at school with bullies and not making any friends. Well as you know my friends Rose and Alice are homeschooled, Alice's mom couldn't have any more kids so she's very active with her and Rose, she handles all the work and they're also going to do cheer competition which I'm very interested in since sports help my clumsiness and since Emmet made friends he won't have that much time with me and I would like to hang out my friends as well."

I said all while pacing the living room. "Bella if that's what you want then me and your dad would like to discuss it with each other and would like to talk to Alice's mom as well." I screamed since I didn't hear them come in. "How much of that did you guys hear? If not all I can start all over." I said grabbing my notes. "Sweety we heard it all. We came threw the garage this time and saw that you were pacing and we were going to see why but then you started talking." She said looking worried. All of a sudden we heard foot steps coming up the stairs. We then saw Emmet with his head piece on and a bat while the boys had the controllers.

"What's going on? Where's the danger? Why did you scream?" Emmet said looking around and then he spots our parents. "Oh hello. Mom, dad these are my friends Edward and Jasper." He said while they said hello and shook my dad's hand. "Squirt why did you scream?" "We snuck up on her when she working her way up on asking us something. Nothing to worry about go back and play. Oh and boys what we're you going to do with controllers? Shoot me?" My dad said while we all started laughing. The boys turned red and walked away.

"So Alice's mom said she'll call in about 15 minutes to discuss it with you so I'll be down stairs watching a movie." I said as I was walking down stairs. Once in my room I called the girls. "So what did they say? Are they on board?" Ro said "Well right now they're talking about it and then they're going to talk to your mom." ('Oh did I forget to mention that Alice's mom adopted Rose? Oh and that we were all born in September? Oops') After they found out that they couldn't have anymore kids they adopted Rose when her mother abandoned her at the hospital. "Well I have a feeling that this is going to be awesome being together. I'm getting your room all set up and then we can go shopping!" Al is kind of a shopaholic.

"I hear them coming I'll text you guys for now ok? Love you bye!" I said switching to YouTube. "Bella honey can you come over here for a second?" "Yeah mom I'm coming." I said shutting everything down. "So we talked to Cynthia Alice and Rose's mom and she said that Tuesday-Thursday you'll be staying with them and then on the weekends and sometimes Fridays you'll be home. She is signing the girls up for cheer camp that will be starting in a few months when school is over but until then you guys will be studying and practicing. They're a few classes ahead but she's emailing you some study guides and things to read to catch up on but we would like you to finish the two days you have left at school so we can sort this all out before you leave." Mom said tearing up.

"Aww mom don't cry! I'll make a promise to you that I'll only do this until after my sophomore year and then come back to regular schooling. I just want to learn something new and grow some confidence before facing my demons." I said hugging her. "Well I guess you need to start packing then" My dad said with a sad smile. "Really I can go? Oh my goodness thank you! You won't regret this ok? I'm going to make you guys so proud!" I said while hugging them. "Bells what's with the screaming?" Emmet said coming out of his room. "Your sister will be homeschooled with her friends and we'll see her on the weekends and sometimes Friday" Emmet looked at me and I nodded my head.

"Don't worry Em. I'll see you on the weekends and I'll get a gaming system so I can still whip your butt online and then on weekends we can go have fun with each other as a family. We'll be the cool family" I said hugging him. "I'm going to miss you though Bells. You better text me and no boys or else and we must video chat each other every night before bed got it?" "You got a deal big brother. I love you" I said giving him a hug.

Later that night I started cleaning out the stuff that I don't need or ever use. I put all the clothes and shoes in bags so I can donate them and tossed out all the junk. By the time I was done it was 10 and I went to bed.

The next morning my parents had boxes ready for me when I returned home so I can put it in the moving truck the next day after school. I started a little early and I was running 5 minutes late to school. I grabbed a granola bar and ran towards my bike and went to school. Thank God we have back ways and I made it in 3 minutes. "Well look who's running late girls. So Swan tell us why you're late?" Jessica said while walking around me. "That is none of your concern Jessica." I said walking away. "I heard you were going to an all girls school Swan bet you'll like that huh?" She said looking smug.

"Aww jealous are we Stanley?" I said while walking into my first class. Even though I was late I still finished my work before anyone else. The books that Alice's mom sent me were all on media files so I listened to that while I was packing. It helps a lot so I can multitask.

I was finished with the first book and I already took the test and sent it to her mom and I'm just waiting for my results even though I know I got an A. The day passed fairly quickly and I was headed towards gym class even though I hate it but Edward is in it and I can't hate it if he's in it. But sadly him and my brother and Jasper are on the football team and I hardly see him but only when we get to run track.

I usually speed walk but I was focusing on Edward and the moves of the cheerleaders to get a taste of what I'll be doing. "Swan stop looking at the girls they don't run that way." I rolled my eyes at Jessica. "I bet you're very disappointed in that huh Jess? No wonder you were kicked off." I said trying to get away.

"Wow someone grew a pair in the last 24 hours. I wonder why?" "Maybe it's because I'm tired of your ways of making yourself feel better about yourself. You can't stand the fact that people don't like you for you, that's why you pick on others. You think if you look mean and tuff people will stop looking down on you." I said raising my voice

I slowly gathered a crowed but I didn't care she needs to learn the hard truth.

"Just open your eyes Jessica and look at the people who do care. The world doesn't revolve around you and it won't make guys drop to their knees because you think your better than the rest of us. You're really not that cute with all that cake you put on. How long did that take you? Do you really think a guy wants someone who tries to be better and look better than girls? No they go for the girls who actually are focused with a career not what we wear or have on but what our future holds. Makeup just helps with confidence not beauty, learn the difference." I said walking away only to bump into the guys.

"B you ok?" They asked "Yeah I'm fine just ready to go home.' "Eddie. Bella was mean to me and said I looked ugly." Jessica said while rubbing herself on him. "What she said is true Jessica. Brains before beauty and beauty comes from within not what you put on every morning." He said while running back to the field. While he was running people started clapping.

"Great speech Bella. Too bad you're leaving we could've been great friends." A girl named Angela said while walking with me. "I'm not going anywhere but I haven't had the best of time in making friends so I'm getting homeschooled but we can still keep in touch. Here's my number we'll talk everyday and you never know, maybe I'll come back some time." I said while walking in the gym to get ready to go home.

That night I finished 2 more books and tests and almost my whole room minus my bed, was ready for tomorrow. I looked around and smiled at my accomplishment. "Wow so you're really leaving B?" Emmet said while looking around. "Oh Em I'm not leaving for good. I'll still visit you guys but I think this would be good for me. I don't make friends easily like you do." I said walking to my bed.

"You're a people person and for some reason I have a hard time so I'm really hoping this will help me spread my wings and I can grow some confidence instead of hiding behind a door. I will be coming back to school so don't worry about that. Plus you'll have Edward and Jasper here to keep you company." I said while leaning on him.

"Still it's not the same. Yeah it's great having all these friends and the guys are cool and all but I love spending my time with my little sister. When mom and dad found out they were pregnant I really wanted a little brother and it was funny cause they were told it was a boy but they were in for a surprise when you were born. Your whole room was ready for a boy. I remembered being a little disappointed but then I looked at dad's face and saw him and mom laughing at what happened and knew from that point on I was going to make everyone proud and be the best brother ever." He said smiling from the memory.

"I won't lie and say that it hurts me to know that you didn't have any girl friends and that it was probably my fault since I've taught you how to do things guys do since you didn't turn out to be a boy and thought it was great bonding time between me and you. I know mom was kind of disappointed that you chose video games instead of shopping like normal girls. But at the same time you're not normal. We learned that some sports helped you with your clumsiness for some reason but you still had your moments." He said looking sad.

"Em I don't blame you for teaching me all those things. I envied you because you were so great and I wanted to learn from you. I hate shopping. I remember throwing a fit because mom dragged me to go with her and I hated every moment of it. I'd come home in tears from trying on dresses to only come home and see you and dad playing football and you guys showing me to see mom get mad because I ruined another pretty dress because I wanted to be like my big brother. I'm glad that you taught me all of that and I did make some girl friends. I don't see them in person but I talk to them online and what's funny is that today I met a great girl named Angela and I know we'll be great friends but it'll be too bad since I won't see her as often. But I know I'll make it work"

We then laid down in my bed all night talking about good memories we had growing up. The next thing I knew I was getting woken up by a loud snore, aww's and a flash. I opened my eyes to see that Emmet and me have fallen asleep and my parents were in my door way taking pictures while my mom tried to wipe her tears. "What's going on?" I said looking at my parents. The snores finally stopped and Emmet woke up? "Why y'all in my room?" We all laughed at him which cause us to laugh harder when he looked at us confused until he saw that he was in my bed and not his.

"We're sorry for waking you guys up but I was on my way out to grab the newspaper so we can take Bella to her new place after breakfast when your mom decided to run and grab her phone all while trying to be quiet and to get me to see what was going on. Emmet if you want to come with us you can just so you can see where your sister will be staying at that way you can visit her whenever you want and vice versa." Dad said. "Yeah I'll come so I can tell all the boys not to mess with her." he said while trying to show off his muscles.

I grabbed my last box and headed for the car. We stopped at the dinner and then started the one and a half hour drive to my soon to be new place.
