Chapter One

I was extremely excited and nervous as I drove my 2009 red Honda Accord car into Miami University for my freshman year. I had been waiting for this moment ever since I was 7 years old. I had gone to Orlando, Florida to go to Disney World with my family and it was the best time of my life; one day while we were there we happened to pass by the campus of Miami University and I fell in love with it! It was always sunny and the people seemed so happy, ever since then it had been my dream to come to Miami University. Especially since it was the last time we had a family vacation; after that my mother and father began to argue a lot and the next thing you know, a few months later my parents were getting a divorce. It was the last happy memory I had of all of us together. After that Renee took me with her to Phoenix and I never saw my father until I was 14 when I was finally allowed to go visit him for 2 weeks every summer in California. At first, I was surprised that Renee actually let Charlie spend time with me, they hated each other. Charlie hated her for leaving and for taking me with her, for the custody battle, for never letting me see him while Renee hated him for reasons that I have no clue about. But I think it was because of Forks, at least I hoped that was it. When I was 16 though, I sent myself back to Forks because I wanted to spend more time with my father. My mom wasn't so happy about it, but she let me go. She knew I had to do this, even though she didn't like the idea of being so far away from me. Luckily, her boyfriend at the time Phil convinced her that this was something that I needed to do.

I found an empty parking spot and parked there. The parking lot was pretty crowded and there were people everywhere with luggage's walking towards their dorm halls. I loved this place, it was warm and sunny all the time nothing like my hometown, Forks Washington were it rained all the time. I looked at myself through the mirror and smiled at the reflection. I didn't look a complete mess like I had thought. I had driven for one week from Washington all the way to Miami, Florida. It was a little bit lonely at times but I needed this time to think—my life was going to change completely now. The good thing was that my mother was just a drive away so I could visit her more often now; she lived in Jacksonville, Florida with her new husband Phil. They have been married more then a year now and thanks to him, Renee actually can have a civil conversation with Charlie on the phone.

I got out of my car that Renee and Phil had gotten me for my seventeenth birthday. I opened my trunk and took out my black carry-on and another luggage; I would go back for the other two luggages later. I looked at one of the pieces of paper that the university had sent me; I was going to be living in Palms Hall which was supposed to be the best hall to live in. You had a roommate and you both shared the bathroom unlike the other halls where one floor shared this huge bathroom—which I find a little gross. Palms Hall also has a huge café in the first floor where they serve every type of food you could think of. Plus, it was in the middle of the campus which meant I didn't have to walk that much to the other buildings for my classes.

I finally saw the sign in top of a building with big white letters 'Palms Hall' I smiled. The building was very modern looking and huge, there were 8 floors. I walked inside and was mesmerized by how beautiful it looked inside. I saw a table with a banner that said freshmen and a young lady smiled at me. I guess I had that WOW face on me that most freshmen would have if they saw how beautiful the campus was or that they were finally free from their parents. I walked over to the table

"Hi I'm Nellie I'm the Residential Assistant or RA" she said with a small smile.

"Hi I'm Bella Swan"

She smiled "Okay well nice to meet you. Well I'm a junior so if you need anything just ask." I nodded" ….and here is an itinerary of freshman activities that we have this week."

I grabbed them slipping them into my bag "Thanks, well I'll see you around" then I began walking towards the elevator. My room was in the third floor and my roommate's name was Alice Cullen. I hoped she was nice as long as she wasn't some stupid slut or one of those creepy people, I would be fine.

The elevator door opened and out came two guys they smiled at me and one even whistled. I blushed as I entered the elevator. I guess I should say something about myself I'm 5'3 and slender with long mahogany wavy brown hair and I have huge chocolate brown eyes. My major right now is Biology/Pre-Med I'm thinking of becoming a pediatrician but I'm still not a 100% sure if I don't do that then I might end up majoring in Literature because I love reading and writing. Finally the elevator reached the third floor and I began looking for room 321.

Finally I found it and opened the door—the room was bigger then the ones I had seen in Weston Hall when I came for a tour. There was one bed in the corner of the room and one across from it right in front of the window near the beds was a nightstand and a desk with a chair. In the other side of the room there were 2 closets and the bathroom door was right next to it. I threw my luggages in the bed in the corner and went back out again to get my other luggages. When I came back, there was a pixie-like girl already there. She was small maybe 4'11 with black spiky hair with soft brown eyes; she gave me a very big smile when she saw me. I couldn't help but notice that she wore really expensive clothes and then I felt a little uneasy when I noticed that there were probably a dozen luggages around the room. Oh, God she was one of those superficial girls!

"Are you Isabella?" she asked shyly.

I nodded and said "Bella" then she threw her arms around me and gave me a hug. I laughed

"It's so nice to meet you Bella. I can't believe we're finally in college" she said in a cheery voice.

"Yeah I can't believe it either it feels like just yesterday I graduated high school"

She laughed "I know! But we're going to have so much fun I can already tell that you and I are going to get along just fine."

I smiled at her and the uneasy feeling went away; I had a feeling we were going to be pretty good friends too "Want to unpack and then get something to eat in the café?"

"Okay that sounds great" We both unpacked as we talked a little about ourselves and our majors. When we were finally finished I was already exhausted. I had learned a lot about Alice during this time for one thing she could unpack very quickly that she even finished before me and that she was a shopaholic.

"Anyways you're just going to love Rosalie, I can't wait till you meet her and…" she smiled now "Jasper, he's my boyfriend. They're twins but right now they're still in Italy on vacation but they'll be back before school starts."

"Wow. Italy, I would love to go there"

"It's beautiful I went there last year with my family. It was so much fun" then she opened the door "So do you have a boyfriend?" she asked me.

"No I'm single"

"Well don't worry you won't be for long you're so pretty you're probably going to have a boyfriend in less then a week"

I laughed "Well thanks I guess"

We reached the café and ordered some food since it was such a beautiful day outside we decided to sit outside. We were walking to the tables when I saw this couple making out extremely passionately right in front of everyone. I turned away quickly like hello get a room!! We sat down on the table

"What are your classes?" asked Alice.

"I have ENG101, BIO101, MAT135, and HPE111"

"What's HPE111?"

"It's a gym class basically we're allowed to play whatever we want just as long as we play for a certain amount of hours a week for the rest of the semester"

"Hmm I'm going to have to remember that for next semester"

"What classes do you have?"

"I have ENG101, FSH111 which is Into to Fashion Business, FSH102 that's Fashion Illustration and Art History"

"Maybe we have English together, when do you have it?"

"Mondays and Wednesdays from 10:30 to 11:45 with Watson"

I glanced at my phone where I had written my schedule and smiled "We have the same class!"

Alice smiled "Yes!"

We laughed and kept on talking for awhile longer when suddenly this muscular cute guy approached us, he had a baby face though. He picked up Alice from her chair picking her up from the ground as he gave her the most biggest hug for a second I thought he was going to suffocate Alice.

"Emmett" she squealed happily "You're here finally!!"

He placed her back down and then looked at me giving me a huge grin "Aren't you going to introduce us Alice?"

"Oh right" she giggled "This is Emmett Cullen he's my cousin and this is my roommate Bella Swan"

We shook hands

"Nice to meet you Emmett" I said with a smile.

"You too" he sat down in between Alice and me "You're both so adorable, I guess it's my job to become your body guards"

"How sweet of you" said Alice "Are you trying to win brownie points with Rose?"

"Yeah I miss her like crazy but she's still mad at me" then he looked at me again "Rose was my girlfriend but we had a huge fight and she broke up with me. Now I'm alone and depressed"

"Oh I'm so sorry" I said sympathetically.

Alice gave him a hug "Awe I'm sure she'll forgive you once she sees you again"

"Why has she said anything?" his face lit up, you could tell that he cared a lot about her

Alice shook her head "No every time I try she changes the subject you know how she is"

Emmett sighed "If she doesn't forgive me, I'll die"

We talked for a few hours more, Emmett was hilarious when he wasn't all depressed about his ex, I knew that we would be great friends. I excused myself saying I was tired and Alice told me she would be up there in awhile too. I waved good bye and began walking back to my dorm when I saw that guy again, the guy who was making out with that girl but this time it was a completely different girl the other one was a brunette this one is a blonde. I rolled my eyes disgusted—what a pig!!!

I decided to get myself a cup of hot chocolate before going upstairs to my room. I paid for it and was about to go inside the elevator

"Hey Beautiful" called a velvety voice. I ignored it I didn't think anything of it "Beautiful!" this time it was louder and could that person really be talking to me? Reluctantly I turned around slowly and there he stood, that player, in front of me smiling at me with a crooked-smile. He was tall, lean, and muscular with bronze colored hair and deep green eyes. He was quite handsome I had to admit.

"Do you need anything?" I asked coldly. One of the things that annoyed me the most were men who thought they were better then women, who played with their hearts like if they were a piece of trash that irritated me so much.

"I just wanted to introduce myself I'm Edward" he said ignoring my cold tone

"Bella" I said quickly and pushed the button for the elevator to open. Great, it was all the way in the sixth floor now I had to wait.

"Bella" he said slowly "It fits you perfectly with how beautiful you are. If you want I could give you a personal tour of the campus?"

"No thanks" I said immediately understanding the meaning behind the words.

He laughed "I never understood why girls play so hard to get and then the next thing you know you're having sex with them so why don't we just skip the charade and go up to your room?"

I stood there with my mouth wide open how dare he insinuate that about me? I never wanted to slap someone so hard in the face but I couldn't resist then I smiled evilly as a new idea occurred to me. "FYI I'm not some slut" then I poured my hot chocolate all over his pretty face and shirt and I stomped out of there taking the stairs instead. I could hear people laughing and I heard one boy said "Damn Cullen looks like you're losing your game"

Whoa did he just say Cullen—or was I going crazy? Alice never mentioned she had a brother or maybe it was Emmett's brother. Oh, God they would probably hate me when they found out that I did that to their family. I ran all the way up the free floors and threw myself into the bed. Finally, a comfortable bed. I would talk to Alice when she came back I laid there just relaxing and listening to my I Pod when Alice entered the room smiling.

"Alice, I have to tell you something" I said in a serious tone.

She stopped smiling "What is it? Did I do something?"

"Oh, no" I got up from the bed and began pacing around the room "You see when I was coming back this guy approached me and……" I explained to her everything and then she started laughing like crazy and was on the floor grabbing at her stomach her face was all red. "You're not mad at me?" I asked a little relieved.

"Of course not that's the most funniest thing I have ever heard. No one ever rejects my brother, ever especially like that." So it was her brother, Wow. How could two people be related when they are so different? "I'm sorry about my brother's behavior he's always like that, he can be a jerk sometimes just ignore him like I do"

"Oh thanks for not being mad" I hugged her "I thought I was going to lose my friend"

"Oh, no I was the one who was worried I thought you found me annoying and wanted me to move out of the dorm or something"

Now I laughed "You're not annoying Alice in fact I think we're going to best friends." She smiled.

I took a shower and came out with only a towel wrapped around my body because I had forgotten my clothes on my bed. When I stepped into the room there was Edward himself carrying a small refrigerator he smiled at me and did a run through from my head to my toes twice….

"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked as I secured my towel even more to my body.

"Helping Alice—I've never been so happy to help anybody in my life"

Then Alice walked in "Edward put it down right there" He did what she asked and looked at me again. "Now go get the television and hurry up!"

"I'm going" he walked out slowly never releasing his eyes from my body.

"What an ass" then I grabbed my clothes and locked myself in the bathroom again. When I came out fully dressed in sweat pants and a white tank top Edward wasn't there anymore.

"Edward really likes you" said Alice with an amused smile as she began putting cans of sodas in the refrigerator "I'm sorry, correction he wants you Bella. You should be very careful, he always get what he wants in the end"

"I'm not interested in him Alice he's such a player and a pig"

"Yeah unfortunately sometimes I wish he wasn't my brother" said Alice sadly then she looked at me "Please don't let him hurt you Bella, trust me he's done this before to me."

"What do you mean?" I asked curiously.

"My ex best friend….she thought he was disgusting as well but she thought he was gorgeous and sooner or later she gave up and then bam he dumped her like he always does, she never wanted to see me after that. He hurt her too much she couldn't even look at me"

"I'm so sorry" I said as I sat down on the floor with her "But you don't have to worry about me I promise Edward Cullen will never have me" I gave her a tiny smile and she smiled back.

"Okay if you think you can" I could see the doubt in her eyes, Edward Cullen must really know how to make a girl fall in love then but I guess there's a first for everything because Edward will never have me, I would never stoop so low to fall for such a horrible human being.
