Chapter One: Impressions
Today was going to be my first day going to Dartmouth. I'm still surprised that I was even accepted into an Ivy League college. All my life, I've never been the best at anything , which basically labels me as average. My grades were pretty good, almost all A's and I took a lot of AP and honors classes through my high school years but so did everyone else. Sadly, my best subject was P.E. I loved sports and did almost everyone of them. My parents were always criticizing me for not being good at more important subjects like math or science. Nevertheless I managed to do pretty well and luckily landed myself in one of the top colleges in the world.
Not only were my academic abilities average but also my looks. I've never been the beautiful girl that all the boys turn to stare at but of course I wasn't ugly. My layered brown hair ran just below my chest, my eyes were big but my nose, I always thought, was stubby looking. Since I loved sports so much, I was pretty tanned but also very fit.
Being fit sure helped me today. I woke up late and rushed out to my car, a pretty beat up Honda Accord. It was just my luck that I couldn't find my keys. After 5 wasted minutes of searching, I gave up and ran to the nearest bus station. Now, I seriously regret not coming a couple weeks earlier and getting used to Hanover, New Hampshire. It took me at least 45 minutes just to reach campus, leaving me only 10 more minutes to find my first class, English. It would look so bad if I was late on the first day, so I ran around the building frantically trying to find the right classroom. I breezed through the crowed hallways until I realized that I forgot the room number so I started digging through my backpack with little hope of finding it. Could this day get any worse?
As I was walking with my head in my backpack, I suddenly felt like I hit a cold, marble wall. When I looked up, I realized I was starring into the eyes of the most beautiful person I've ever seen. She had a flawless face that was pale as the moon with dark, heavy hair. Her limbs were smooth and strong while her skin glistening like a pearl. Her eyes were amber but I could detect bits of crimson, they were truly terrifying. At that moment I suddenly felt as if a current passed through me and I had the urge to run away. There was something so mysterious and powerful about her that send waves of fear through my body. Then I noticed next to her, gently holding her hand was the most gorgeous man I have ever laid eyes on. I never thought such breathtaking beauty was possible. His skin, like hers, was flawless. He stood with such grace and control. For some reason, he reminded me of a marble statue. He had ocher colored eyes, slightly darker than butterscotch and bronze or more like reddish brown hair, in an unusual, untidy hairstyle but it only brought out the flawlessness of his straight, perfect, angular, distinct features. The only color I saw on their pale faces was purplish, bruise like shadows under their eyes. I wonder if they got any sleep yesterday. Suddenly, I snapped out of my internal dialogue, remembering my situation.
"S-s-sorry" I stuttered. I guess my mind was still in shock from seeing such devastating, inhumane beauty.
"It's ok" the girl smiled, showing off her perfectly straight and white teeth. She seemed so gentle and caring, her eyes even lost its original frightening appearance. The guy, however, just stood there staring at me with a curious, frustrated look on his face.
"I'll be heading to class now, sorry about that." As I hurried away, I heard a low, quiet whisper from the girl.
"What's wrong? You look troubled."
"Nothing. It's just that I can't read her" He replied with a quiet, musical voice.
"Wow, finally, someone like me" she laughed. Her laugh sounded like wind chimes, such an amazing sound.
When I finally reached the classroom, the door was closed. I was late. Devastated that I was going to make a bad impression, I felt tears roll down my cheeks. So I sat near the door, wiping my tears and preparing myself for embarrassment. That's when I saw them again. They turned the corner and headed right towards me.
"What's wrong?" the girl asked.
"Nothing. It's just that I'm late on my first day. Totally ruins my plan to make a good impression" I faked a laugh. But this time I did hear the guy laugh. His laugh sounded more like a melody.
"Don't worry. Just follow my lead." He knocked on the door and walked right in. The girl and I quietly followed after.
"Professor Brooks, nice to see you again. I'm so glad I'm in your class; it's like a dream come true " in addition to those heart warming words, he added a dazzling smile. Who could resist?
"Edward Cullen! I saw you on my roster list and I almost couldn't believe it myself. I've always wanted to teach a bright lad like you. And you must be Isabella…"
"Bella" she corrected.
"Right, Bella. Carlisle told me about you. Must be so nice for him to have a daughter-in-law" he winked. When he saw me, his smiling face turned into a scowl. "You, young lady, why are you late to my class. If this happens again, do not even think about coming in here. Let me tell you, in all me years of …"
"Sir" Edward interrupted "please excuse her for her tardiness, it was completely my fault. As I was driving up the school, my car broke down and when she saw me struggling to fix the problem, she offered to help. Her friend's dad was a mechanic so she knows a lot about fixing cars. Thank goodness she was there or else I wouldn't have a ride home tonight. And you know how getting your car towed is such a hassle. " The story just flowed from his lips. Even I was starting to believe the lie.
"Oh, in that case. Welcome to Contemporary American Fiction class. Sorry about my little outburst there. I really hate tardiness unless of course you have a good excuse. So uh…"
"Victoria" but as I said my name, I noticed that Bella flinched a little as if she remembered an unpleasant memory relating to my name.
"Yes, Victoria, Edward and Bella. You can go find a seat. I didn't start class yet."
"Thank you" we muttered.
When we reached our seats, I whispered thank you to Edward but he looked at me with that same curious, frustrated look and nodded in acknowledgment.
Hey guys hoped you liked it so far. Writing this was actually so much fun. And I attempted to make this as accurate as possible so I even researched things like Dartmouth, the classes, the geography, etc. The next chapter will be a lot better because many of the mysteries come. You can ask me anything. I'd be happy to reply. Please REVIEW, I really want to know what you guys think. Thanks :D
