I knew why I had to decided to go to college so far away, but still I was afraid. I've lived with my dad, Charlie, in the safe small town life in Forks, WA my whole life. I'd go see my mom, Rene, for two weeks every year in big cities like Phoenix or Jacksonville, but I had always just preferred to stay in then go to the mall like a normal teenager. But I was now a grown-up going to the big college of Dartmouth and I was scared shitless. Looking at my dad now I could see he was as afraid of leaving his little girl here, as I was of being here alone. I knew it was time to grow up though and I couldn't bring myself to regret the decision to go to school here.

" Ok Bells, I think that's the last of it" Charlie looked around my dorm room refusing to look me in the eyes. If I hadn't know better I swear he was on the verge of tears.

" Dad don't, look at me" I walked across the room and stood in front of my father. " I'm still your little girl, " I cringed at how cliche that sounded, but it just seemed like the right thing to say " I'm just a phone call away, speed dial two in fact, the fire department is number one in case you blow up the house attempting to cook!" I half-heartedly laughed.

" I just don't see why you had to pick the one college that was on the opposite coast"

" You know why, I have to learn to live on my own, live a little, have some normal teenage experiences. I just need to stand on my own two feet for once" I looked up to see him playing with the edges of one of my moving boxes.

" Ok kiddo, but you know this, if you at any moment want to come home, I'll be here in a flash, ok?"

" Gotcha Chief!" I fake saluted him trying not to smile, but failing miserably. " Ok, give me a hug and get out of here. You have a long drive ahead of you, and I don't want you to be too tired"

Charlie ambled over to me slowly trying to make the best out of this emotional situation. He hated this kind of stuff, and normally so did I but today I just needed to hug my dad goodbye.

After a few moments of awkwardness we broke away from the hug. I felt better, just knowing that Charlie would always be there for me. Never passing judgment, just there. That's what every kid wanted, right? Without another word he headed for the door.

" Call me when you stop for the night, I wanna make sure you are ok." I yelled after him. He just raised his hand as he kept walking, letting me know he heard me.

I turned back around and suddenly a huge smile broke out across my face. I jumped up on the small twin bed and covered my face with my pillow to cover my screams of excitement. I couldn't believe I was finally here, Dartmouth, in my own dorm room.

Just then it occurred to me that I should have a roommate. They had single rooms,but I couldn't afford one with my measly salary at the sporting goods store I worked at all through high school. Charlie had offered to pay for one, but I wouldn't hear of him getting into his retirement just so I didn't have to share a room. Plus I never has any brothers or sisters so I never got to experience the whole sharing thing. I just hoped it was someone I could at least get along with.

Just then I heard a loud squealing coming from the doorway.

" Oh. My. God!!! This is perfect" And with that a pixie like girl skipped into my room almost as if she was floating. " Hi my name is Alice Cullen, we are going to be the best of friends I can just tell. I have a sixth sense about these things"

" Uh hi, I'm Bella Swan. I take it you're my dorm mate?" I smiled at her wondering how many pots of coffee this small thing could have ingested to get her this riled up. " I hope you don't mind, I took this side of the room. We can switch if yo would prefer to be by the window..." I was stopped mid sentence.

" Oh heavens no, this side is closer to the closet, my sanctuary." She made a gesture towards the closet as if she were Vanna White showing off the grand prize. I couldn't help but laugh at her, her energy was kinda of contagious.

" Um, I was just about to go get something to eat, so I'll leave you alone to set up your stuff." I shoved my hands in my pocket, a nervous habit I picked up from Charlie, and started walking towards the door. Once I got a little further down the hallway I took the campus map they had given me during orientation, out of my pocket. I kept walking while looking for the cafeteria on the map. I should have know better than to walk and read a map at the same time, I can barely just walk, because before I knew it I hit what felt like a stone wall, knocking me right on my ass.

" Hey! Watch where you're going" Someone screamed at me.

I looked up to see a very angry, and beautiful guy looking at me. I'd never seen anyone look so god like in my life. His hair was a unique shade of bronze that would stand out even if it wasn't attached to the most beautiful human being I'd ever seen. And his eyes were a shade of green that I wouldn't be soon forgetting. Slightly masculine and tall,well at least he towered over me, which wasn't hard, I wasn't that tall.

" I'm so sorry" I stammered, trying to get ahold of myself " I'm a little clumsy, I should have know better than to walk and read at the same time." I chuckled nervously hoping it wouldn't break the tension.

" Yeah well, whatever" He turned back around and spoke to a big guy who looked like a he belonged on a football field somewhere. " When did they start letting morons go to this school, I thought it was kinda for us smart people. Or at least for the coordinated"

I swear my mouth hit the floor. I knew I was clumsy, but to get that I wasn't smart enough to go to this school because of it was a huge leap. I wanted to stand up to him but my mouth was like cotton.

Just then he turned back around " Can I help you?" The smug look on his face was almost unbearable.

" Yeah, you can. You can tell me when they started letting ignorant ass holes go to this school!" With that I turned around and started running back to my room.

I didn't know where that burst of courage came from but I was proud of myself. I'd never really stood up for myself like that before. Of course when your dad is the police chief you rarely have anyone give you a reason to.

I opened up the door to my dorm room and immediatly shut it again to see if I was in the right room. Amazingly I was. I couldn't beleive it, it was a completely different room. Just then Alice seemed to pop out of nowhere.

" So? What do you think?"

" It's, um, great. How did you do all of this? I wasn't even gone that long"

" I know I thought you were going to get something to eat?"

" Well I was,but I ran into a problem, literally ran into a problem" Alice's eyebrow lifted in confusion. For some reason I felt completely at ease talking to her. Like we'd know each other for ages. " I was on my way to the cafeteria and I got out my campus map ust to make sure I was going the right way. Well I should have known better than to do that because next thing you know I'm on the ground. I ran into this completly gorgeous jackass who after I apologized asked " when did they start letting morons in this school" " I put moke quotation marks in the air " Well aparently i have more guts than I give myself credit for and ask him, when did they start letting ignorant assholes go to this school. But that is where my courage stopped cuz then I ran back here"

" Now when you say gorgeous, what do you mean?"

I had to laugh at her, I knew she had listened to what I said, but I couldn't beleive that was the one point she wanted clarified.

" Like a freakin Greek God. You wouldn have to seem him to beleive it. Do you wanna go get something to eat? Second time's the charm right?"

With that we headed back down the hallway. This time I let Alice guide me, she seem to know her way around alot better than me. It took us no time at all to reach the cafeteria. I looked around the huge room, amazed by the amount of food they offered. Right before my ears were invaded with another piercing scream from Alice.

" Come Bella, I want you to meet my brother" With that she grabbed my hand and led through tables. My face was a slight shade of red, as I'm sure everyone in the room had heard that loud noise come from this tiny person. " Bella I'd like you to met my older brother Emmett and my other brother Edward"

I turned to look at who she was introducing me to and my jaw went slack. There in front of me sat the same asshole who I ran into in the hall. I didn't know what to say. I was really hoping that he wouldn't remember me and I could just go on with my life, but of course that would be to simple.

" Hey isn't that the girl who ran into you?" the big one, Emmett, announced. I smirked at him as if to say ' thanks, you just made my life hell'. He just looked a me and gave out the loudest laugh I've ever heard. " Oh you are going to be fun. I don't think we've had a smartass like you around the family since Edward showed up."

" Yeah well, you have to be smart to be a smart ass, that's why I'm so good at it" Edward replied being very confident in himself. All I could do was glare at him, I had used my one shot of confidence earlier. Alice made up for it though. Next thing I knew she was smacking the both of them in the back of the head.

" You two be nice, this is my roommate. So if you can't play nice you just won't being seeing any of your wonderful sister." She stuck out her bottom lip and gave them the best pout job I had ever seen.. Something I would definatly have to learn from her someday.

" I 'll just have to endure it then" And with that, Edward stalked off, leaving a plate full of food on the table.

" So was that the so called " Greek God" you ran into?"

"Alice!" My face couldn't be any redder.

" Oh wait till Edward hears that, he is going to shit a brick" Emmett started to get up.

" NO! Please! Alice??" I looked at her pleadingly for help.

" Emmett, you will not tell Edward anything, or I will post naked baby pictures of you all over campus. You got me?"

" Fine" He sat back down and folded his arms across his chest. Even though he was a big guy, right now he resembled a two year old who jsut got his favorite toy taken away. I have got to ask Alice how she does this. She talks, they listen, it's an amazing talent.

By the time Alice and I came back with our food, Emmett had gone through two plate fulls and was gone. It was like he was a human garbage disposal.

" So I can kinda see the resemblance in you and Emmett, dark hair, perky attitude and such but Edward seems so different. What the deal there? He the milk man's kid?"

" No Edward was adopted. When he was five our father adopted him. Emmett is older than us by a year and Edward and I are the same age. Edwards always been a little on the dreary side. He's a little too smart for his own good and he likes to flaunt it. But once you get to know him, he's really not that bad, I promise."

" I hope so" With that I sat through the rest of our meal listening to Alice go on and on about clothes, and designer names I've never even heard of. It wasn't a surprise that her major was fashion design. I really liked Alice, and could see she was right about us being really good friends. It was a shame not all the Cullen's could be as friendly as their sister.

A/N This is my first Fan Fic, so your feed back is really important to me. If you would like longer or shorter chapters. What direction you think I should go stuff like that. I have the plot in my head, but sometimes I have a problem getting from one spot to another and need a little budge.
