Chapter 1– Breakaway

I sighed as Renee began to cry hysterically. "Mom. You're making a scene." I said completely embarrassed. "I'm so sorry. I just." She continued to weep. "Dad." I glared. "Renee. I think we should go so Bella can set up." Charlie suggested. "OK. I love you. And remember you call us if you need anything." Renee sobbed. "Bye. Love you." I answered quickly hoping that my mother would retreat immediately.

I waved as Charlie pulled my distraught mother to the car. "Hey, was that your mom?" An unfamiliar voice asked? "Uh. Yeah." I responded timidly. I turned around to face the curious person. "Hi. My name is Victoria." She introduced. "Bella." I responded politely. "Mothers tend to get all emotional when they see their kids growing up." She giggled. "It's mortifying." I added.

I took a deep breath before entering my dorm room. I opened the door and froze. "Can I help you?" The half naked girl asked rudely. "I'm your roommate." I replied awkwardly. "Oh. Welcome my name is Jessica Stanley." She smiled widely; "This here is my ex boyfriend Mike Newton."

Mike stood up and threw on his shirt. "Nice meeting you." He said as he dashed out of the room. "Come in. This is our home." She stated. "Great." I whispered. I unpacked my things as Jessica babbled about all the boys on campus. I nodded my head occasionally and smiled. "So as soon as you're done unpacking. We're going to the diner across the street so you can meet the gang." She cried excitedly. "Actually I'm pretty exhausted from the drive. But maybe some other time." I told her.

"Bummer. Don't wait up. Kisses." I plopped back onto my bed staring at the ceiling. Sharing a dorm room with Jessica was going to take a lot of patience. A knock on the door startled me almost causing me to go into cardiac arrest. "Just a minute." I called out. I let my hair down hoping to scare off whoever was knocking. "Can I help you?" I opened the door and met with a pair of blue eyes. "Yes. I'm looking for Jess." He responded politely.

"Oh. She's not here." I replied nervously. I smiled slightly hoping I didn't look like a complete disaster. I gazed into his blue eyes. "I'm sorry is there something on my face?" He asked concerned. "Just beauty." I blurted out. My hand flew over my treacherous mouth. He chuckled as he leaned against the door frame; "Thank you."

"Names James Hunter." He extended his arm. "Bella Swan." I shook his hand unable to tear my eyes away from his. "See you around." He flashed a quick smile before leaving. I closed the door and bit my lip. "Nicely done Bella." I walked into the bathroom to evaluate myself. I looked like I hadn't slept in days. Which was true so the gray sweat pants and big yellow shirt didn't exactly aide me in looking presentable.

"Bella. Wake up." Jess sang. I groaned sitting up and giving Jessica a death glare. "I see you're not a morning person." She teased playfully. "You might want to get ready now. Unless you want James to see you in those wretched clothes." She announced. "Wait. How do you know about that?" I asked stunned. "Bella, just because we're in college doesn't mean people don't gossip." She stated. "Good to know." I muttered under my breath.

I took a quick shower hoping Jessica would be gone by the time I was done. I wrapped a dry towel around my body. I walked out the bathroom to find Jessica entangled with a bronze headed boy. "Sorry Bella. I forgot about you." Jessica said gasping for air. "I have to get my clothes. Just keep his eyes covered." I demanded. I heard a low chuckle escape the boys lips. I snatched my clothes off the bed and headed back into the bathroom. I couldn't believe Jessica.

Classes hadn't even begun and she was already shoving her tongue down some guys throat. I slipped into a pair of dark blue skinny jeans; with a black long sleeve blouse. I straightened my bangs and left the rest of my hair down and natural. I applied black eye liner and mascara. I rolled on my clear lip gloss heading back into the room. I half expected to find Jessica and her hook up still hooking up.

I was more than pleased to see her and the bronze headed boy gone. I took a deep breath as I walked to class. It was my first day and it was already eventful.
