The Beginning

Meet Tahlia.

Alex's POV.

We were packing to leave NY and I swear to god Bella's suitcase wasn't going to close.

"OMG! Zip up." She said. I walked over and sat on it. "Be careful. I don't want my new maxi dress crumple." I shook my head and zipped it up.

"C'mon let's go now." We wheeled our suitcases to the airport.

Bella's POV.

I thought about having the day off but decided against it. I had a shower and changed into a tall A-line jacquard skirt which had a beautiful design and I managed to get for $10 in NY. I added a white ribbed tank top on top and found a cool red jacket. I added the chunky white sandals I wore on Sunday and a simple red gemstone necklace. I added matching studs and Mary Jo K to my lips. I did grey eyeshadow and left my hair down. I walked downstairs with my bag. My phone chimed.

Alex: Morning baby.

Bella: Morning!

Alex: Coming to school?

Bella: Yeah we have like 2 weeks till we graduate. TESTS! FML.

Alex: You'll kill them.

Bella: Aww thanks babe. I better get ready see you soon.

Alex: Yep remember Tahlia will be there today. You'll love her.

Bella: I'm sure I will.

I clicked off my phone. From what I had heard Tahlia sounded so lovely. Hopefully not another Amanda. I made a protein shake and jumped in my car. I started to pull out when my phone chimed.

Michelle: OMG Bella can u give me a ride. Lost my driver's license while you were gone.

Me: Sure b there in 10.

@bellababe

So excited to finally meet the one and only @tahlia_shark and to see all my friends' @michellebell @coleharris and @alexblue before finals kill us. 2 more weeks and we're free. Missing @amandagraves.

I felt it was important to add Amanda to show I didn't hold grudges. I drove to Michelle's house and parked out front. She ran out and opened the passenger door.

"Omg thanks I was in a pickle." I laughed.

"No problem." Michelle smiled.

"OMG Tahlia I forgot. Ha-ha that was nice of you to tag her in your tweet." I smiled.

"She is going to be my new friend. Fingers crossed." I pulled into the school car park and saw Cole with Alex and a tan girl with brown hair. I parked my car and stepped out. I locked it and walked over with Michelle. Michelle ran to Tahlia.

"OMG TAHLIA!"

"MICHELLE!" They hugged and I smiled. They pulled apart and Tahlia flashed me a smile.

"Hi I'm Tahlia." I shook her hand.

"Bella. Nice to meet you." She smiled.

"You too. Now where did Giselle get to?" I looked around. Michelle looked confused.

"Giselle?" She asked.

"My new billet she's real sweet. She's from Canada." We looked around and then someone with beautiful ginger hair walked over.

"Giselle meet my friends Michelle, Bella, Alex and Cole." We all said hi and then Michelle walked over to Cole so I went to Alex.

"Hey." I kissed him.

"Hey. You like Tahlia?" He asked. I nodded.

"Definitely. She's so sweet." He smiled.

"I knew you would. We have 2 weeks to fill out aform to Harvard." I looked at him. I had my last final test today and then Ineeded to look at applications. "Ms. Callie says we can practically guarantee aspot after this last weekend." I smiled and nestled into his shoulder.
