CHAPTER 2

The moving company was already here to put things in order of the arrangement which dad gave them. My room is upstairs, basically all our rooms are upstairs. The house has 5 bedrooms, 4 are upstairs while the last one is down, each room has a closet and bathroom, there is a sitting rokm at one end of the corridor upstairs and a balcony as well, the kitchen is massive and it has an island at the centre, there's a sitting room downstairs as well and the compound is quite big.

"Bella, take the rest of your stuffs to your room." Mom calls from the sitting room downstairs.

"Be there in a sec." Time to make my room awesome.

My bed was placed at the centre of the room, it was already dressed with a pink polka dotted bedspread, the room is painted peach as well, there is a window beside my bed, my closet was painted cream, there are hangers on the cloth rack, i guess dad must have boight it.

I start arranging my clothes on the rack, i put my pants and shorts in the drawer, my undies, i put in a different drawer, my shoes are lined up under the rack and that's all for my closet.

I had bought some posters back in san diego, two of which were Ariana Grande's pictures and one is a painting of Eddie Murphy. I put one of Ariana's pictures above my bed on the ceiling, believe me it wasn't easy. The other one, i put on the left hand side of my bed where there is no window. I put Eddie's painting on the wall beside my dressingeading table. I arranged my books carefully on my table beside my laptop. Finally i gathered the empty cartons and other dirts and threw them in the waste bin outside our compound.

"Bella, please come help me set up Debbie's room."

"Alright mom."

Normally i would have been angry that my mom is giving me extra work but i want to make sure i don't have to share a room with Debbie, so am glad to help.

Debbie's room is bright yellow, it isn't as big as mine but its still quite big. Mom had already set up most of the things all that is left is to put a net Debbie so she wont fall off her bed and to remove the dirts.

"Help me with the net, hold the other end while i hold this."

We put up the net, i cleared the room while mom prepared dinner. Dinner was served at 9pm due to all we had to do.

"My new room is so cool, it has a gaming area and the bathroom is so big plus I have it all to myself." George went on and on about his new room all through dinner, mom was really pissed of.

• • • •

"Yeah jenny we can have a party at your house as far as charlie would be there."

"Of course I'll be there." Charlie said.

"Omg, charlie your here, but i was speaking with Jenny."

"No baby it was all me, come kiss me would ya."

"WAKE UP!!!!!!"

"Ahhh, George whats wrong with you."

"Mom said the neighbours would be here soon and we have to be dressed up when they arrive."

"Get lost." I yell and throw my pillow at him. He chuckles and leaves.

As usual I was having dreams about Charlie again, thats what I get for not being allowed to have a boyfriend.

Charlie is my crush from middle school all through high school and I still have dreams of him being my boyfriend.

I check my bedside clock, it is already 8am. I stand up from my bed and go to the bathroom. I wash my mouth, take a shower and dry my hair, I'm ready for the day just have to pick an outfit which am in no mood to do.

I enter my closet with my pink bath robe still on, I open my drawer and take the first thing I see, 'a blue shorts and black tank top. I put them on quickly, grab my phone and move down for breakfast.

Mom made scrambled egg toast and a cup of milk for each of us. We finish our meal 15 minutes before the neighbours got here.

• • • •

The Edwards lives at a 5 minutes walk from our house. Their family consists of 3 children, 2 girls and a boy.

Chris their first child is 22 and attends the college dad enrolled me in. He's in his 4th year.

Dora and Darcy are twins , their 17 and are new to college just like me but they have been in school for 1 week now.

Mom and dad stayed downstairs with Mr Edward and his wife while we went upstairs with the twins and Chris.

Chris was yanked into George's room by George obviously so I take the twins to my room.

"Wow I love your room." Dora says as she enters the room.

"Yeah its so amazing." Darcy chirps in. "Is that.....OMG!! Thats a picture of Ariana Grande." Turns out am not the only fan of Ariana.

"Come on Darcy, she's not that cool, Beyonce is way cooler."

I sat on my bed and watched them argue about who is a better singer.

Normally I would have joined in but am too tired and annoyed for that. I can't believe I was woken up from my lovely sleep to meet these annoying twins who seemed ready to argue all day without noticing anyone else.

Besides that I am still trying to know who is who. They're so identical, they are like 5ft7 an inch taller than i, they both have long brown hair with short curls that covered their face often.

"Beyonce is old school, she's no match for Ariana" I heard Darcy say.

"Ariana is a b***h, if popularity contest is held she will never stand a chance." Dora retorts.

Urgh , these twarts are stealing away my peace. My phone rings, Jenny, omg I forgot to call her yesterday. I stand up to find a place that is quiet. As I turn the door knob the twins look up.

"Hey where are you going." Darcy asks.

"I have a call, the noise here is quite disturbing." I tell them honestly.

"Oh, we didn't realize, we're sorry."

"No problem, carry on, I'll just take the call on the balcony."

"No, this is your room, we'll keep it down."

"No we won't, you still haven't accepted that Beyonce is better than Ariana." Dora retaliates."sorry Bella."

I didn't wait for anymore suggestions from them, I have to answer the phone, so I left them.

"Hey Jenny, sorry for the hold, I had to tackle two crazy twins"

"I see you've made some new friends already, am happy for you"

"Their not my friends, just neighbours who mom thinks its a good idea to get along with"

"Oh, I see"

"You talk like you get it, even when you know you don't"

"Of course I get you, your not a people type of person and you rather stay on your own than listen to 'crazy twins'."

"Twarts, crazy twarts, seriously, who argues about Ariana and Beyonce for practically half an hour."

Jenny laughs"thats stupid, I gotta go Bella, my mom needs me, I'll chat you later OK?"

"Yeah sure, I really miss you Jenny, love you bye."

I look straight ahead to see a beautiful view of a waterfall not too far from our house, wow I didn't know that was there, maybe I'll fall in love with this place faster than I can imagine, I sigh and turn to go back to my room.

As I turn I see Chris resting on the wall with his head bent, am pretty sure he wasn't there before. I decide to use the opportunity and outline his features. His hair is a dirty shade of brown, I couldn't see his eyes to tell their colour, his body is well built with muscles I had to stop myself from touching. He is really tall just like his father, around 6ft or less am not quite sure. And from the glimpse of his face I had earlier, he's very handsome.

I snap out of my trance to notice I've been watching him for like 5 minutes and he had not moved. Am not a type to start a conversation so I decide to leave.

"Crazy twarts huh, interesting." I hear him say as am about to leave.

Oh my gosh, he heard that, what do I say to him. Wait, why do I even care.

"You know, it isn't right to eavesdrop on other people's conversation." I spat back in an overrated drama queen tone with my hands on my waist while looking at him like his my little brother who had done something wrong.

He chuckles a little before replying"that doesn't explain you calling my sisters twarts, you could've said you didn't like us rather than telling your friend that."

I really didn't have an answer to that but in my defence I've been really pissed lately. I can't say anything to him, if I do I'll say something that'll definately irritate him. I decide to walk out that way I won't have to say anything to him.

"Ouch" I winced as he grabs my hand and draws me back.

"That was rude." He says finally looking up and moving from the wall."I don't like people that walk out on me." He says then walks out.

Crazy dude, just like his sisters .I heard him say something to his sisters before leaving the house.

Back in my room the twins are not here and George is sitting on my bed with his leg crossed like an annoyed girl.

"Get out of my room."

He looks at me then stands up"you just had to spoil the friendship before it even started, mom is mad at you."he says and goes out.

Oh no, the dude just had to blurt it out, blabber mouth. I don't think I'll go down until dinner.

• • • •

"Crazy twarts huh, interesting." I heard Chris say.

What the f**k!

Why do I keep hearing that voice. For the past two days I've been indoors cause my dad grounded me for the little mishap with the Edwards.

George keeps on telling me about how cool it is in New Orleans.

Apparantly, mom and dad apologized to the Edwards on my behalf, ever since then they've been best friends. Chris toke George on a tour on thursday and yesterday he tone George to the National museum. George said they'll go to an amusement park today. Darcy had called earlier to say she has forgiven me, she thinks am the one who told my parents to apologize to them.

I've been hearing Chris voice since the day of the incident and it freaks me out. I think am hungry or something cause my tummy is giving me the jingles.

"Whats up with you?" Dad asks me the minute he sees me downstairs. He's watching a movie I don't recognise. I ignore him and walk into the kitchen, I grab an apple and make myself a cup of milk for later and head back upstairs.

"Bella, I was speaking to you."dad yells.

I ignore him and enter my room. Being grounded means I don't have to talk to anyone, might as well enjoy it. I grab a harlequin romance and start reading it, Mon toke my phone and laptop so am left with my books only.

Dad said I'll be ungrounded by Monday and I'll resume school with the other students as well and George will be attending the highschool which the twins graduated from.
