Bella Pov
September 13th, another year gone, another year older...
I am Isabella Marie Swan, but I prefer Bella. I live in a little town named Forks in Washington State. I am short about 5'4, I have long brown hair that seems to be impossible to tame and my love life is pretty much as interesting dried paint. The closest thing I had to a boyfriend was a guy I dated named James, we went out for a month and a bit until it started to become a bit weird, so weird that when he looked at you it was as if he was a lion stalking its prey weird.
My parents Charlie and Renee have been divorced since I was 4 years old. I had been living with Renee and my step-dad Phil in Phoenix, Phil is a minor league baseball player. So I decided right before junior year to move in with Charlie, I couldn't stand seeing my mum being unhappy because she couldn't travel around with Phil. Charlie is the chief of police in Forks, even though there isn't much crime around here, he still manages to be out of the house for about 12 hours of the day.
My two best friends in the world are the Hale twins, Rosalie and Jasper. I had known them practically all my life, it was so hard being away from them in the last few years of high school.
Today is my 18th birthday, I am currently taking a gap year before I start college in the University of Pennsylvania. Did I mention I hated to celebrate my birthday? Not that I hate life or anything, its just all the presents and celebrating is completely unnecesary, but no one ever listens to me. This morning I found a brand new iPad and keys to my very own car, a Mercedes convertible. Grrr...
I heard the front door shut, I knew it wasn't Charlie because his Cruiser left at six this morning, I was about to jump up to greet Rose, but something else caught my eye, fancy the red cursive writing on the cream coloured ticket that laid in the middle my bed. I stared at it and as soon as I processed what was written on the ticket I screamed.
"ROSALIE LILIAN HALE! What are you thinking! I refuse to accept this!" Rosalie had given me a ticket to a 12 day cruise around Alaska. She was a dead woman.
"Bells you need to chill, I have two more tickets because mom and dad won them in some competition in New York last week and since they already had plans to go to Europe for the week because it's their 20th anniversary, they gave the tickets to us!"
I stared at her dumbstrucked, with my jaw on the ground looking like Dory from Finding Nemo. But Rose continued to ramble on.
"So you have no way of returning them, and plus we are going to have the time of our lives on the trip. Cocktail, tanning, dancing and all that, just you, me and Jasper."
I did not know how she does it, but she always manages to convince me into doing everything her way.
"By the way HAPPY BIRTHDAY Bells! Oh and Jasper's gift is in your closet." As soon as Rose finished her sentence, she turned on her heel made a run for the door.
Oh no this can't be good...
I opened the closet to find a gorgeous Valentino full length midnight blue gown hanging up. There was a card and a notes hanging off the shelf with one saying;
Happy Birthday Bellsy!
I'm sorry I'm not here this morning, Rose told me if we were both here it wouldn't of been easy to make an escape before you found your other presents. SOOO HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY OLD FRIEND!
Love ya and I have a feeling I'll be seeing you very very soon!
From,
Jasper
The other one was a note from Rose.
BTW, apart from the dress you got from Jasper today, I got the ones we tried on last week at the mall, you remember the red one and the cream? Of course you do, so they are for the cruise since they have formal nights on the ship.
Oh yeah forgot to mention, we have to go shopping for other outfits and the dress to wear on the informal nights. So no whinning we need lots more skirts and blouses, and yeah shoes. (Converses are NOT classified as proper shoes, they are sneakers!)
Love you Birthday Girl,
Come over when you're all ready.
Rose
I calculated that we had exactly 10 days before we had to board the cruise, I mentally cursed the Hales for this. I sighed and looked back at my nightstand clock, it was only 7:30, at this rate I would definately not get a chance to crash again, so I got up, had a shower and headed over to the house that the Hales rented. I was getting myself ready to kick their arses, but who knows maybe this trip might be a life changing experience.
First actual chapter! How exciting!
