This is my first story, I'm not a big writer... but I just thought it would be fun to try out a new hobby for the summer. I'm sorry if it's not that great...

Chapter One

BPOV-

Here I am… Isabella Swan, an 18-year-old freshman at the University of Arkansas. Why Arkansas? I could have easily gone to school in Arizona, where my mother lives, or Washington, where my father lives? I believe I already answered that, because those states are where my parents live. Oh, and because they offered me an awesome scholarship. I couldn't pass up the full ride that I earned because I was a book worm in high school, or the chance to get away from my parents and discover a new place.

As I said before, In high school I was the book worm, your typical geek who pushed up her glasses with her index finger when greeted, shy didn't even begin to cover how anti-social I was, and seeing me without a book under my nose was a rare occasion. I had several friends but most of them spent their time with their significant other. Angela was the only friend I had that stuck my side, she and her boyfriend, Eric, broke up before our senior year.

Unfortunately, Angela got a full ride to the other UofA, University of Arizona, and couldn't come with me to Arkansas, it was so hard for us to separate, we had been each others rock. So now I am trying to hold my head high and will myself to be more outgoing, I even put on the housing survey that I would like to room with someone that is outgoing, whether that was a good idea or not, I don't know… I guess I'll find out.

The weather was amazing, temperatures in the mid 80's sunny, with very few clouds, as I made my way to my dorm room, I almost wanted to set my things up outside and call the great outdoors my dorm room, but I don't think campus police would enjoy me doing that… nor do I believe the weather will be this beautiful. So I walked hesitantly walked into the building hoping to myself that my roommate wouldn't be some crazy sorority girl that would constantly be asking me "Does my hair look okay?" or "How many guys do you think these heels will attract?" Oh God, please don't let me be rooming with the Campus Slut, I thought to myself. As I walked down the hallway I saw that every door was decorated with crowns and stars and every crown had the name of the girls that are occupying it. I quickly found my door. My roommate's name is Alice, sounds pretty normal, surely she will be fine.

I took a deep breath and held it as I opened the door, that breath was suddenly knocked out of me as I was tackled by a short pixie looking girl with short spiky, black hair.

"HI! I'm Alice! Oh my gosh we are going to be such good friends I just know it!" she informed me.

"Um, hi, I'm Isabella, but please call me Bella." I told her.

"Isabella is such a beautiful name! But, as you wish. So, where are you from? Do you have any siblings? Do you have a Boyfriend? Oh! Can I do your hair, it's so pretty!!" she asked me all in one breath. Oh, boy this is going to be fun.

"Uh, thanks, about the name. Ah, I'm originally from Forks, Washington, but I graduated from a school in Phoenix, Arizona. My mother lives in Phoenix, and my father is from Forks. No, no siblings, or boyfriend. And, um, yeah, I guess you can do my hair sometime." I added that last part mainly because I didn't want to put her down on the first day, I'm sure this answer will come back and haunt me in the near future. "What about yourself; where are you from, any siblings, and/or significant other? I won't ask you if I can do your hair, I'm not so great at that. But I do love your cut."

"Thanks! I'm addicted to changing my hair, short and spiky was my new adventure. Well anyways, I'm from Memphis, Tennessee, I have 2 brothers, Edward, who is my twin and also goes here, and Emmett, who is 20, and is the starting quarterback here. I also have no boyfriend, but there was this ADORRRRABLE guy at registration today, tall, like over 6 feet tall, with amazing blonde hair and dreamy blue eyes, that I hope to snag by the end of the week." she informed me confidently.

Alice was very nice, she was very easy to talk to, I was so excited that we got along. We spent the next 30 minutes or so talking about our past lives and families, until I noticed that she had hardly anything on her side of the dorm room.

"Hey Alice, where is all of your stuff?"

"Oh, my brothers are unloading their stuff first, they didn't have much. They should be by any second now." She said as there was a knock on the door. "Nice timing, boys. Watch this." She went to the door but didn't open it, "What's the password?"

"Alice, I swear if you don't open the door I will shred your favorite Marchesa dress." a smooth velvety voice yelled from the other side of the door. Alice gasped and quickly opened the door to reveal a beautiful guy with amazingly green eyes and perfectly disheveled, bronze hair. He was gorgous! Get yourself together, Bella! I thought to myself as I snapped my mouth closed. He must have seen me do that and looked at me and smiled the cutest crooked smile and put the boxes down.

"Bella, this is my twin brother, Edward. Edward, this is my roommate, Bella! She's came here from Phoenix." Alice introduced.

"Hello Bella, it's a pleasure to meet you. I hope you are patient, or Alice will send you for a loop!"

"Uh, whatever" Alice scoffed. "Where's Emmett?"

"He got sidetracked by some blonde carrying 2 heavy boxes." he told her.

"Great, he's already looking for his next victim"

"Yeah." he rolled his eyes, "Okay, I'm going to get another load of your crap. You going to help?"

"Are you kidding me? I just got a manicure yesterday." she complained

"I'll help." I offered

"Thanks, BELLA." he glared at his sister and we walked out of the room.

We walked in an awkward silence for a couple of minutes then he turned to me and asked, "So, you're from Phoenix, huh? What made you come to Arkansas?"

"Well, I really wanted to get out of Arizona, away from my mom and her new husband, and I really didn't want to go to school in Washington, where my father lives. I applied to several places, and Uof A offered me a full ride, so I couldn't pass it up. What about you, Alice told me you all are from Memphis, why Fayetteville?"

He laughed "I completely understand your want to get away from your parents. Our parent are UofA Alumni, so we all got Alumni scholarships."

"Ah, that's cool."

"Yeah, I guess, I really wanted to go to Belmont, to get a degree in Music Composition, but I couldn't get a scholarship, and I just couldn't really see myself actually pursuing that as a career."

"Oh, so you're a musician?"

"Yeah, I play piano and guitar."

"That's so cool, I've always wanted to learn to play both of those."

"Maybe I could give you some lessons sometime." he said with a grin. Edward was so sweet, I could definitely see myself with him, but I doubt he could see himself with some one as plain Jane as me. He was just trying to be nice, I told myself.

"Yeah, that would be cool."

We walked in silence for a minute or two longer and then we reached a huge, white jeep parked on the curb. He didn't look like the type that would drive a jacked up SUV, but then again, we are in the south.

"Is this yours?" I asked curiously.

"No, it's my brother's, it's massive isn't it." I noticed him giving it a dirty look after he told me this and I laughed.

"Yeah!" I giggled again. "You didn't seem like the type to drive such a huge vehicle."

He chuckled, "Yeah, I drive a Volvo. Emmett's Jeep is the only vehicle that can hold all of Alice's stuff. Hell, I don't think Alice's Porche could hold one of these boxes!" I laughed, suddenly intimidated. Great, they are rich. Another reason for him not to like me.

We grabbed all of the boxes we could carry, Edward was kind enough to give me the lighter boxes, which were still really heavy. As we made our way up to the room we talked about majors, he told me that he is majoring in biology with hopes of following his father's footsteps and becoming a doctor. When we got to the door he yelled for Alice to open the door, and she was kind enough to open it without asking for the "password".

We put the boxes down and as we did that a huge burley guy with dark curly hair walked in.

"Emmett, what the hell? Way to ditch me!" Edward said, clearly angry. Ah, this must be Emmett. Yep, definitely the jacked up Jeep, Football player type.

"Dude, I couldn't let her carry those boxes by herself!" he laughed a hearty laugh and went over and hugged his sister. "Aren't you excited Ali?! You're in college now! If any guy looks at you, I'll kill them" He said fiercely.

Alice rolled her eyes, "Of course I'm excited Em!" she said genuinely, then her whole demeanor changed "I swear to God, Emmett, if you ruin my social life you will greatly regret it. I may be a "Wee Little Freshman, but I am your sister with a big mouth."

Emmett stiffened. "Oh, by the way, this is my roommate Bella. Bella this is my oldest brother, Emmett." I extended my hand thinking he would shake it, but boy was I wrong, Emmett engulfed me in the tightest bear hug.

"Emmett! You're going to suffocate her!" Edward exclaimed.

Emmett put me down and laughed. "So, Bella! Are you single?" Great. Now he was hitting on me.

"EMMETT!" Alice and Edward yelled.

"What? I was just curious!" He then turned and looked at me, "If you are Eddie over here is too, you seem like a good girl." I immediately blushed, well… at least he wasn't hitting on me. Emmett bust in to a huge laugh, "Look at that blush! Oh, this is going to be fun. Come on Eddie, let's go get the rest of Alice's shit."

"What did I tell you about calling me that?!" I looked at Edward and I could tell that he was a light shade of pink as well, either he was embarrassed too, or he was just angry. They left the room to get the rest of the boxes and Alice turned to me.

"I'm sorry about Emmett, he loves embarrassing people."

"It's whatever." I chuckled.

The rest of the afternoon passed and Alice and I shared more stories about our pasts. She and I were definitely going to become good friends.

Please review, and tell me if there are any redundant errors that I keep making. I'm not a genius when it comes to grammar...

Thanks for reading I can't tell you how often I'll have chapters out but as long as you are enjoying it I'll keep writing. I'll try to have another chapter out soon!

Thanks!-B.E.
