Bella's POV
This was it! College. A whole new experience- the start of a journey.
Well that is what everyone is tells me- there always congratulating me on my scholarship to Princeton University and how it will be some of the greatest years of your life. I was coming to study English literature and English language- because I want to become a journalist when I'm older and maybe sometime when I'm settled down, publish a book.
I don't like change though and this is about as different as it gets from the small, dreary town- called Forks- I was leaving behind.
I grew up in Arizona with my mum and stepfather, Renee and Phil, I made lots of friends at school but I never got close to any of them. Instead of meeting up and going out with them, I preferred to just stay at my house- lounging in the garden with a good book. I feel like part of something special when I read, my own little world that I am cocooned in and I preferred wrapping myself in that than socialising.
When I turned 16 though, Phil and Renee started travelling so I decided to move in with my father who lived in Forks. Days spent bathing in the sun or at the beach were definitely forgotten as in Forks I grew used to wrapping myself up in the warmest clothes possible and trying to forget about the rain by reading one of my many books. I made two close friends there.
First Angela- a sweet girl in my English class. She noticed on my first day that I was overwhelmed and came over and just started to show me around. Over the weeks and months we just closer and closer- we didn't attend any of the parties, we just talked for hours on end to each other. When we moved into senior year, Angela started dating Ben- a guy in our chemistry class. He started hanging out with us- he was funny and was the missing jigsaw piece in our little puzzle. We three got along great and were inseparable that last year. They both went to Harvard though but I will see them again when I visit Forks.
I stood in front of the big double doors- this was it. I took a deep breath in and pushed open the door. Students were bustling around the corridors with keys and suitcases in their hands- frantically rushing to find their new dorm rooms.
Itook another step forward.
"Come on Bella, you can do this." I thought to myself. I looked in my hands at the information packet I was holding- 4th floor Room 56, roommate Alice Cullen- it read. I walked forward more out of the busy corridors and closer and closer to my new home for this year. Room 46, 47. I was almost there and as I looked down into my hand to check my room number I crashed into something and went to tumbling to the floor.
"Owwwwww" I moaned, running my head. I looked up to see what I had run into. I'm front of me was the most gorgeous man I had ever seen. He had pale skin with tousled coppery hair. It was left in a messy array on his head and I just wasted to run my fingers through it. I noticed his angular jaw line and looked up towards his lips- they looked so inviting and soft. He was wearing a plain white t shirt and it clung to his chest and I could already see that he was toned due to biceps peeking out the sleeves. Realising I was staring, I immediately blushed and met his eyes. They were green, emerald like eyes that sparkled with amusement.
"For the 3rd time are you alright?" He questioned. I could help but smile a little at the sound of his voice. It was velvety and soothing yet husky at the same time, he sounded perfect- like a man from a romance movie, not better than that.
"I'm sorry, what?" I asked snapping myself out of the daze.
"I asked whether you were ok and needed a hand up" he replied.
"I normally have that affect on girls" he added.
"Edward Cullen, but I assume you probably know that."
I noticed now- his cocky posture and the smirk across his face, some of the known signs of a player.
"I don't need your help you jerk" I replied, ignoring his outstretched hand and pushing my self up. He looked shocked, "and no, I don't know who you are and no I don't want to know," I added.
I picked up my stuff and stormed down the corridor. What an egotistical idiot I though to myself, although he may be attractive is will not fall for a guy like him. Those gorgeous green eyes, and messy bronze hair are not worth getting hurt over. I hope all the people here are not jerks. I paused in my rant to myself, noticing that I had reached my dorm room. I heard shuffling from inside- my roommate must already be here. I put my hand on the door and twisted the handle, preparing myself, this was it...
Hi, everyone, it's here. What did you think of the first chapter- sorry it was so short. This is my first ever time writing fanfiction so if you could comment what you would like to see and how it was that would be great. Thank you xx
