Chapter One- A New Term
BPOV
"Mom, I'm going to be fine," I sighed for the umpteenth time into the phone. My mother, Renee, was as prone to worrying as I was to accidents. "I promise to call every weekend, alright? But I've seriously got to go now if I'm ever going to get any unpacking done."
Finally succeeding in getting my mother off the phone, I stared at the empty white wall in front of me. Letting out a heavy sigh, I decided to grab my suitcases and start unpacking them, trying to add a dab of personality to my side of the room. I had recently been accepted to Washington State University, one of the top colleges in the Olympic Peninsula area. If the choice had been left up to me, I would have rather gone to a small university in the heart of Phoenix, where I grew up. However, as I was quickly finding out, hardly anything was my choice anymore. Before I could lose myself in my thoughts completely, I heard the distinct sounds of a group of people walking down the hall. Before I knew it, four people had swarmed into the room, taking up more space than I had thought possible.
"Alice, why can't we share a room this year? Was I really that bad of a roommate?" I saw her blonde head bobbing up and down as the girl spoke, but was blocked by an immense figure standing in front of me to see anything else.
"Of course not, Rosalie! I just want to try this, you know? Living with someone who I haven't known my entire life… it could be a good learning experience!"
The blonde girl, Rosalie, let out a loud sob and enveloped her friend, Alice, into a tight embrace. I realized as the others started to talk that none of them were aware that I was in the room with them. I shrunk further into the corner, giving hem as much privacy as I could. I still couldn't help but overhear everything they were saying.
"Rose, she's not going to die. All she's doing is moving into a new room. One that'sright beside yours. You should probably let her breathe right about now so that she doesn't die on her roommate over there." I jumped at the mention of my presence, cursing myself for letting myself be lulled into a false sense of security. Whipping around, I was faced with four sets of highly curious eyes staring at me. Flushing my traditional shade of bright red, I meekly turned to the short, pixie-like girl I took as being Alice.
"H- hey, you must be Alice."
"And you're Isabella?" her hazel eyes sparkled as she bounced on the balls of her feet.
"Bella, please. It's nice to meet you." I stuck out my hand, expecting her to shake it. Instead, she grabbed me by the shoulders and pulled me into a hug, all the while squealing happily into my ear. I heard booming laughter coming from beside me and extracted myself from Alice to see who it was. I found myself staring directly at what looked like a wall of walking muscle, topped off with a mop of curly brown hair. My eyes almost came out of my sockets as he, too, gathered me in a hug that lifted me off my feet, my body shaking with the rumbling of his laughter.
"EMMETT! Put her down, you idiot! Can't you see she's scared stiff of you?" Rosalie pulled me away from Emmett and looked at me with apologetic eyes. "I'm so sorry, he's not very good with personal space. Like sister like brother I guess! I'm Rosalie, by the way."
I was relieved to see that she stuck out her hand and shook mine warmly. I turned my attention to the last of the four and found myself staring up at a man with dirty-blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. He gave me a small smile and introduced himself as Jasper, Rosalie's twin brother. I smiled shyly at them, not used to the attention they were giving me. Although I was a bit uncomfortable with all of their gazes on me, I was also pleased to see that my new roommate seemed so nice. Maybe this would be a good year after all.
Review, and I'll make Edward give you a hug when he finally appears!
