A/N- hey guys!

I'm so glad that you people reading my story and I really hope that you like it.

SUMMARY- Bella Swan's life is perfect. She has a great father, a great friend and she has been accepted at an ivy league college. But a disaster occurs in the middle of her life which leaves her broken. Will she be able to cope up? EXB. All human. Please read!

On with the story!

Standing outside the gates of the most prestigious colleges ever, I felt almost intimidated, I guess.

I mean Dartmouth University was for brainiacs and I would never know why these people even accepted me as a student in the first place.

I didn't even send in the admission form.

Emmet had.

I had filled out the form and put it in an envelope with the address written on the top and everything. But I just couldn't find it in myself to post the damn letter.

I was afraid of getting rejected. There were a million colleges out there but it was my dream to get into Dartmouth. And if I didn't get in, I don't know what I would have done, but it sure would have broke my heart

And anyways, Emmet had already sent it out and he had even got an acceptance letter within a week. I wish I could be a brainiac like him…

And he hadn't even tried any other universities either. Dartmouth was his first and last choice.

But well, it was always obvious that he would get accepted. He got a scholarship for soccer and he was majoring in pre-law. So obviously if he got accepted and I didn't then I will have to go into another university away from him. And I didn't want that.

He was my best buddy. A big brother I never had. He looked intimidating but was a real softie inside. A totally huggable person. And I loved him.

I didn't want to get separated from him. So I was scared to send in the form.

But one day, there was a return letter addressed to me kept on my bedside table. And guess from who it was.

You guessed it.

DARTMOUTH.

I opened it and stared at the first line, dumbfounded.

Congratulations Isabella Marie swan. You have been accepted at the Dartmouth University of New Hampshire…..

I couldn't read more than the first line. Because after that I jumped from the bed, shrieked and bounded downstairs.

"Bella! Is everything alright?" Charlie met me at the bottom of the staircase.

"Everything is just PERFECT dad!" I replied and hugged him with all the strength that I had.

He was shocked at first but after a moment he hugged me in return.

"I'm going to Dartmouth! I just got my acceptance letter, dad!" I told him.

"Yeah, I know. I was the one who kept it in your room, silly. It won't jump from the mail-box by itself and land in your room, you know." He said. I looked at him with a tired expression on my face.

He understood at once and yelled "CONGRATULATIONS!" and hugged me once again before letting me go.

I chuckled and told him I would be at Emmet's house if he needed anything. I went to his house and was met at door by his mom, Esme.

I hugged her and told her I got accepted in Dartmouth. She congratulated me and told me that Emmet was in the backyard. She didn't know what he was doing and said she didn't want to know because it would only freak her out.

I laughed and ran through the house and to the back door.

I opened it slowly to see where Emmet was and suddenly was splashed with cold water.

I looked up to see an empty bucket hanging above the door dripping water and looked down to see Emmet with his hands around his stomach, laughing hard.

"Glad that I could make you laugh Emmet." I said with a sneer before going into the house to find Esme.

I found her in the kitchen. She looked up from her work when she heard me come in and nearly had a heart-attack.

"Bella! What happened to you? Why are you drenched so much?"

I just said one word which would explain everything to her-"Emmet"

Understanding crossed her eyes.

"Emmet McCarthy Cullen! Come here right now." she yelled.

But now, here we were in front of Dartmouth University.

Emmet pushed me lightly from behind, indicating that we should be getting inside but I being myself could not last a minute without falling, so I tripped-on air might I add-and was about to land on my face when two strong arms caught me.

I looked up to see Emmet grinning at me.

"You couldn't wait to say hello to the ground until we were inside, huh?" he teased me. He knew I was a klutz and he had to make fun of my clumsiness all the time.

I stuck my tongue out at him and walked off.

He just chuckled and followed me inside. We found the office and got our class schedule, dorm room no., keys etc.

There were two different dorm buildings for girls and boys. Girls on the west-end of the campus and the boys on the east-end.

We went our separate ways and decided to call the other once we were settled in.

I was walking towards my building when I collided with someone and tripped. Again. My boxes, suitcase and my duffel bag went flying around.

The person whoever it was caught me and when I looked up to thank the person, I couldn't open my mouth. Because this person was not a person but a Greek GOD.

He was so handsome; actually handsome would be an understatement.

His bronze colored hair, high cheek bones, smooth forehead

Not that I touched it, it looked smooth...

And those emerald green eyes…

Gosh...I'm going to swoon right here, right now.

The Greek god cleared his throat and I realized he was still holding me and I was stupidly gawking at him.

Blood rushed to my face and I stood up. "Sorry, I should be watching where I was going. You are not hurt, are you?"Isn't it illegal to be so perfect? I mean his glorious body; face and eyes were not enough? His voice had to be so marveling?

"No, I'm fine."I said as I blushed profusely. Ughh…I'm making a fool out of myself in front of him. Stupid stupid Bella.

He smiled smugly at me and offered his hand for a handshake.

"By the way, I'm Edward Mason." His voice was a melody for my ears.

"Bella Swan. And thank you. You didn't have to catch me but anyhow, thank you."

"Any time" he said and I could see by his eyes and that cocky smile that he knew what he was doing to me. Ughh…I'm making a fool out of myself in front of a player who knows exactly what kind of an effect he has on people.

"It was pleasure meeting you, Edward, but though I would love to be here and talk with you, I have to go." I said with a kind smile on my face. But I think he saw that something in my posture changed because his eyes became a little confusing.

Guess he hasn't been rejected by girls ever in his life.

I collected all my scattered possessions and walked off.
