I wish I owned twilight and its characters but sadly I do not all thanks goes to Stephanie Meyer. But I do own a stand up Edward Cullen from Eclipse!

Chapter 1

BPOV

I'm just an ordinary girl nothing spectacular has ever happened to me until the day I moved to Los Angeles. I had moved here after my parent's bitter divorce to go to college. I decided it would be best to get as far away from the complications of the divorce and maybe get out there meet some new people, experience new things maybe find love. My father, Charlie, didn't think it was necessary to go to college so far away from Washington – I knew it was just because he would be lonely by himself with me gone. My mother wasn't really interested – with Renee it was all about her, if it didn't affect her life and what she wanted to do in a profound way then she really didn't care.

So it was on that beautiful sunny day that I stepped out of the cab and thought that perhaps maybe it wasn't the best idea to escape or better yet run away from all of my problems by deciding to attend this particular college. I was scared and I was friendless but hey things can only get better right there's no point looking at the situation as if it's the half empty glass. If you don't throw yourself into things you will never know what would have happened. My Philosophy was to live every day to the fullest and experience as much of life as you can...and I was certainly going to stick by that now that I was here away from the dreary town that is Forks where nothing ever happens.

I walked along until I found the correct dorm building and went up to the second level to room 218. I hadn't wanted to stay in the dorms but until I got a job I couldn't really afford to have my own apartment so I decided to suck it up for a year, save up and then enjoy the freedom that is your own place. I had only just managed to walk through the door and put my suitcase down when a small pixie like figure with spiky black hair came rushing at me and gave me the biggest hug.

"OMG hi! My names Alice Cullen you must be Isabella. I have been dying for you to get here and finally meet you...me and out other roommate Rose are in desperate need of more female company round here and offcourse another shopping buddy! What are you studying? Rose and I have gone the fashion route. Where did you live before college? We are going to be such good friends..."

"It's just Bella. Don't take it the wrong way Alice but I really not that big of a shopping person. I'm studying Literature, in a nutshell and I used to live in Forks, Washington..." I trailed off wondering how someone can be so interested in another person's life as soon as they met but I'm going to have to assume that's just Alice and roll with the punches.

Alice looked as if someone had just drowned her puppy at the shopping comment. At that moment a small giggle made me realise that there was another person in the room. There looking every bit the supermodel was I guess my other roommate Rose. She was the kind of girl that one look at her would make your self esteem just plummet like mine was doing right at this second. She was gorgeous, statuesque with long blond hair flowing almost to the middle of her back. I really wish I had tried to make an effort today my jeans and t-shirt combination were making me feel slightly insignificant right now.

"Hi my names Rose, don't mind Alice she was born this way you will get used to it" she laughed again walked to the coat rack picked up her purse and to the door. "I will have to get to know you later I'm on my way to Emmett's dorm I will catchas later" and then she was gone.

The whole time I was conversing with Rose I saw Alice just bouncing up and down. Was she always this excited? Was she on crack or something? Who knows I'm guessing again this is usual Alice behaviour.

"So anyways Rose, myself and our boyfriends Emmett and Jasper all go to school here you will like Emmett and Jasper. Emmett's the big bear of a brother you always wanted and Jasper is just so perfect. Hey my twin brother Edward also goes to school here with us. You don't have a boyfriend do you? Maybe we can get you guys together. Oh that would be so awesome. Edward is in need of some fun after the biatch incident. I'm sick and tired of him acting like a manwhore to forget the whole messy incident"

"Hang on slow down Alice. One no I don't have a boyfriend but that doesn't mean I'm going to shack up with every Tom, Dick and Harry now that I'm at college. I'm sure your brother is perfectly nice and all but you describing him as a manwhore isn't kind of endearing him to me and also I'm not really looking at the moment."

I saw her big grin be replaced by the smallest of frowns.

'Don't worry Bella I won't force you guys on each other but I have a feeling that he is going to be what you always wanted in a guy once he cuts the bullshit out and goes back to the way he was the way we know he really is. I know these things you guys will most definitely hook up when he stops being a douche hahahaha." She turned around tapping her head to emphasise that fact. "So anyways I shall give you the tour shall I and then I can help you unpack and then I think we should call the others and have a friendly dinner."

It took us all of ten minutes for Alice to give me the grand tour. We had a lovely open plan dorm when you walked in there was a massive living room which had attached an equally impressive kitchen. I couldn't wait to get in there and start cooking. Alice showed me the enormous bathroom which considering there were three girls in this dorm was much needed especially considering Alice and Rose were 2 of those girls and by the looks of the counters and cabinets were overflowing with items. We went past Alice's and Rose's rooms before we got to mine and boy was I impressed. It was big...no that's an understatement I could fit my bedroom back home in here twice over I had a massive bed in here and even space for a desk , bookshelf and a TV unit. I wasn't used to having so much space and the closet was huge though I didn't know why I would need that much space. But Alice decided while we were unpacking that I was in need of a new wardrobe to fill the closet much to my protestations. "I will pay for it and everything. Don't worry about it."

"Alice I can't let you do that"

"Oh come on Bella my family are loaded I get a huge monthly allowance – it's ridiculous, so I don't mind spending some money on a friend so just suck it up and enjoy it hahahaha"

"Ok but I'm not going to like it just so you know"

Alice let out another tinkering peel of laughter "ok Bella, Rose and I are just going to have to change your view on things. Come on lets go make you up and then we are going to go meet the others at the guys' dorm."

After less than an hour getting primped and preened by Alice I honestly could not have been blessed with someone so talented I had no idea how she was able to make me look so gorgeous but hell I'm starting to maybe like it...well maybe once in a while hahaha I don't think I could stand the torture on my face and hair every day. After Alice gave me the once over and was completely happy. She turned towards the door grabbed her purse and said "Lets get the hell out of here...you are totally going to like Edward if he doesn't act like an ass I already told Emmett to tell him to make sure he's on his best behaviour and he is totally going to stumble over his ass with you looking like this. I can't wait to see his expression. Just breathe Bella...Time to start living your philosophy remember...and out the door we went.

AN-So I know it's a little short for a first chapter. I wanted to do more but I got a little busy. It will get better and longer I promise. So leave your reviews. This is my first fanfic so if you don't like give me some constructive criticism so I can make it that much better for you guys.
