A/N: I don't own a damn thing. Jsyk.

She looked around her room one last time, noting the empty spaces.
The one spot on the wall that was seemingly lighter than the rest, the marks on the floor from where her bed had stood for the last 18 years. The tears sprung to her eyes and she wiped them away.
There was no time for that now, she had made her decision and nothing not even the fear of leaving her home for the unknown would stop her from pursuing her future.
"Bella, are you ready to go", pulled out of her own reverie she turned to her mother , her brown eyes meeting much paler blue ones.
She perused her mother's face noting their laughable differences in coloring. The blonde versus the brunette the lightly tanned skin versus the pale alabaster. Bella had seemingly inherited most traits from her father.
"Yes, I'm ready" ; and for the first time in her life she had never been more sure that this is what she truly wanted. No, what she needed.
Bella arrived on campus with her burgundy hoodie proudly proclaiming her new home's mascot. She stood still as the campus bustled with life students running on the lawns and others, probably freshman like her, hugging their parents' goodbye and some even shed tears.
No one really took notice of the girl all alone who seemed more into observing then participating in the fanfare.
She headed to the Admissions office for her schedule and as she began to move, she bumped into a seemingly hard body, a rush of wind leaving her body as she flew to the ground.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to it's just I was in such a rush to go to my dorms before my roommate takes the bed I want. I mean imagine how awful that would be? I just cannot stand to sleep away from a window…"
Bella looked at the offender, eyes widening as she noticed that the girl before her was a goddess among men.
She had long blone hair and bright ceruclean blue eyrs , with a tall lithe body covered in a pair of blue jean shorts and a t-shirt with the same insignia as Bellas'.
Bella leaned forward then catching her breath, as she realized the girl had yet to stop speaking.
Standing up and pushing her book bag onto her left shoulder, still sore from her earlier fall, she spoke "It's okay, I wasn't really paying attention".
The goddess as Bella now referred to her replied "Great, I'm Rosalie, you can call me Rose since we have technically already been acquainted."
Rosalie reached her hand toward the pale brunette, noting that even with her flushed face the girl was still very pretty, "Bella" she responded. They shook hands and continued their perusals of one another noticing their stark differences.
Bella noted that Rosalie looked more like her mother, Renee than she herself. "Where were you headed?"Rosalie asked breaking the silence once again.
Bella shook her head to pull her from her own inner narrative, "The admissions office, I need to figure out my dorm assignment."
Rosalie nodded and looked over at the girl, "I would love to help you get there but, like I said I definitely have to make my way to my dorm."
Bella nodded, " Maybe we will see each other around."
Both girls highly doubted this but it seemed like a polite gesture, after all stranger things had happened. Bella watched as the Rosalie girl jogged away continuing on toward the dormitories.
Bella continued on her way wondering how many interactions like this were happening all around her.
