College Days

Chapter One:

College Craze

A/N: Hello Readers! I have another story for you to read. This time it is a Twilight FanFiction. The thing that baffles me is that when I first joined FanFiction I thought my first story was going to be Twilight, but instead I did a Harry Potter story. So I will stop boring you with things you probably don't want to here about. So, here is the first chapter of College Days. I hope you like it. Please review!

Disclaimer: (Sadly) I do NOT own Twilight and its characters.

When you start College you are supposed to feel mature, special. All I feel is terrified and completely nervous. If you hadn't guessed it, I, Bella Swan, will be starting College today. I live in California and I will be attending Stanford University. Part of me is actually excited but that part is masked by the nervousness.

My main concerns? I am scared because I don't know anybody there, I have no one to talk to. Another one is what if I did meet people but they didn't like me. And the list continues to grow, along with my nerves.

When my alarm woke me up I got up and took a shower. Then looked at my planned outfit for the day. (A/N: The picture is on my profile) I then looked at the clock, and quickly put on my outfit. I looked in the mirror. My hair would not agree with me, so I put it in a messy bun. I took a deep breath, said some encouraging words, then went downstairs and grabbed an apple. While I was eating my apple I thought about how my life will change after college. And decided to have a positive outlook on this experience. I looked at the time and decided that it was time to leave, I wanted to say goodbye to my mom but she had already left for work.

The night before I had put my things into my red truck so I wouldn't have to rush in the morning. I got into the car and put on the radio. I pulled up to Stanford University, staring in awe at how large the campus was. This would be my new home.

I reluctantly got out of my truck. I thought to myself: No turning back now. You can do this Bella. I looked at everything around me. Every new person had their families help them and they looked so happy. I wish my mom was here to spend this new stage in my life with me, you would think a mother would come with her daughter for her first day of college. This one girl really stood out. She was short with distinctive black, spiky hair. She was getting her things out of her very expensive car and was laughing with what I assumed were her parents. She was also, from what I could tell, very fashion oriented. She looked friendly, maybe we would be friends. I went to get my schedule, alternating looking at that and the map. I was trying to find my dorm room.

I was making my way back to my car to get a couple of my things. My nose in my papers, figuring out where everything was that I didn't notice until I ran into someone. We both fell to the ground.

"Oh gosh! I am SO sorry. I didn't-" I started.

A velvet voice interrupted me saying, "It's fine. Don't worry about it."

I looked up to see the most gorgeous guys ever. And I had just made a fool of myself. Stupid clumsiness. He had the most beautiful green eyes and unusual bronze hair. Great bone structure and a toned body. He stood up and brushed himself off, then he looked down to me and offered me his hand to help me up. The one who knocked him down.

"I really am sorry." I stated.

He chuckled. "Like I said, it's fine."

"Are you new here too?" I asked.

"Yeah, you?"

I giggled. "You are really gonna ask that question?"

He laughed, "That would be a yes then?"

"Yep." I retorted.

"I'm Edward Masen." He stated while gently shaking my hand that was still in his.

I bit my lip "Bella Swan."

"EDWARD!" a huge, buff guy came running towards us.

"Oh hey!" the new man said.

"Hi." I said quietly.

"Bella this is Emmett, Emmett Bella." I let go of Edward's hand to wave at him.

"Edward we gotta go find our dorm."

"Okay Emmett, I'll be right there," he said in Emmett's direction.

"Well I better let you go. Nice meeting you." I said nervously while picking up my papers that had fallen on the ground.

"Yeah it was. Hey I'll see you around." He said while his face looked like he was thinking very hard about something.

"Sure will. Well…maybe, this campus is huge." He chuckled then waved as he turned around to go catch up with Emmett.

I stood there still mesmerized by him, I shook my head in disbelief at myself for acting so stupid in front of him. I then continued to get my things out of my car and search for my dorm room. After a couple of trips I had gotten all of my belongings in my dorm room. I was curious to know whom my new roommate would be when someone burst through the door like a huge ball of energy. I was surprised to the pixie-like girl that I had seen earlier.

"Oh, hi! I'm Alice Brandon! Aren't you excited to start college? I know I am, we are going to have the best time together. You will be my new best friend and it will perfect-"

I cut her off "I'm Bella Swan. And if you could repeat all of that it would be helpful. Do you always talk that fast?"

She thought long and hard about her answer and slowly began "Well it is nice to meet you Bella. I'm Alice Brandon, your new roommate. I was just saying how excited I am and how we are gonna be best friends!"

"Oh, I see. Was it that hard to talk at a normal speed?"

"I guess not. It's just when I'm excited I kinda talk REALLY fast."

"That's okay. So, ready to unpack?"

A/N: Well here is the first chapter of College Days. How did you like it? I thought it was just okay, not my best work. But, hey, we can't be perfect all the time. With that theme I'm sorry if there are any grammatical errors. Please PLEASE review. It will make me oh so happy. Thanks for reading!
