Close as Strangers

Prologue

Bella's POV

Since the day I have a mind of my own, I have wished to become a princess. A perfect royal blooded princess, who wore the most amazing ball gown, a cute little tiara sitting on top of her head, a rather ginormous and old-fashioned castle to live in, and most of all, a prince who would sweep her off her feet one day. I may sound pathetic to your ears, but that is my dream.

I often found myself dreaming of my prince charming. I don't know why, but I kept seeing green eyes and of course a face - something I have never seen in my entire existence. Of all the people I knew, I got a mysterious prince haunting my dreams every night. As much as I wanted it to be real, I was afraid that I would end up crying and hating myself for expecting it to be true.

'Cause it's just too good to be true. I thought to myself.

Besides, this girl, Isabella Marie Fox with a height of 5'4", chocolate brown eyes and a hint of dusty gold rimming her irises, curly brown hair with streaks of red highlights, button-like nose, a slightly pouted lips, highly proportioned cheekbones and pale complexion, would not even qualify a beauty pageant, least a royal princess.

Oh God, I am so miserable. I stared at my appearance in front of the oversized mirror inside my bedroom. I actually have a short and not overly thin body. I am smart, that's for sure, and I practiced a proper posture and etiquette, like the royal people do. Though, I couldn't hide the fact that I would occasionally trip through thin air.

My father, Matteo, was a lawyer in our hometown, Forks, living with my housewife mother, Julliana. I don't even know if you recognized that town, but it rains a lot... like really, I would consider it a miracle if there's even a sunny day in at least one month. I hated the rain. The smell of Earthly organisms when it rained would usually trigger my senses.

I can smell it, alright. That's my usual thought when people would look at me funny, saying they couldn't even smell it. What can I say, I have a heightened sense of smell.

I remembered, when I was only twelve, my dad built me a yellow tree house in our backyard. Mom bought a gown and a sparkling tiara, dressed me prettily, and she took pictures. Those were the best birthday gifts I have ever received. They loved me, and I of course loved them, too. My parents were supportive of me, in my decisions, even in my fantasy-like dreams.

When I turned college, the University of New York, the only faraway school I applied to, sent me a letter. To say I was ecstatic would be the greatest understatement of that day. I couldn't stop jumping and screaming "I passed!" at the top of my lungs. Although it was a tough goodbye for both my parents and I, they said that it was a chance I should never pass away.

I left Forks a month before the opening of classes, found a cheap but comfy apartment, enrolled, and bought my school supplies. For the first few months, I studied so hard, proving that the person they gave a scholarship to was worthy of it. God, it's NYU, and I only dreamed of studying there before, but now I already did.

I would go home to Forks once a year, 'cause money was tight those past years. I would spend Christmas vacations with them. I pursued my Bachelor of Laws, following the footsteps of my father. Being a lawyer was one of my dreams, and being a princess was another. I have accepted the fact that the latter would never come true, so I settled for the first one.

And one fateful day, imagine my surprise when I met this handsome, gorgeous man while I was... well, at the edge of a public bridge and mortified beyond repair. I fell in love under a silly first meeting with no other than a freaking PRINCE of all people in the world!
