Chapter One
BPOV
"Are you absolutely sure you have everything" Charlie asked, he looked so sad. It must be hard to see his only child growing up and go to collage.
"Yes, Dad. I promise to call regularly" I said as I checked the few boxes I had packed. Everything seemed to be there. I sighed. "Dad I really have to go"
"I know, I know" he whispered as I hugged him. I was about to start a new stage in my life. Charlie took the boxes out of the booth of his car and placed them on the ground. He said one more goodbye, and gave me one last hug. I stayed by the big, iron gates and watched his car drive away. When it was out of sight I turned around to the gate. I pressed the button of the box on the side of the gate. "Hello, how can I help you?" said a strict, female voice.
"Hi, I am Isabella Swan, I just arrived and I ju-"I explained but was interrupted.
"Ah, Isabella, we have been expecting you. We shall open the gates right away. Do you have any boxes you need help bringing up?" she asked, her voice warmer then before.
"Yes, I do, thank you" I said gratefully. I waited in the cold until I heard the gates open and a man with something that looked strangely like a luggage cart. He smiled to me, but did not speak as he but the boxes on the trolley. We walked in silence up to the school in absolute silence. As I walked through the door, warm air greeted my. I smiled and walked over to the main office. "Ah, Isabelle its good to finally meet you" she said warmly. "I am sure you are wondering when you can get to your room, did you choose a room in advance?" she smiled again. "Eh…no?" I frowned. "Ah, that might make this a little more…difficult" she frowned as she clicked away at her computer. "Perfect, there is a free space in one of the rooms, would you mind sharing?" she asked, still looking at her computer. "No, not at all" I said quickly. "Ok, your room number is 513, and you are sharing it with Jane Tempest" She said and handed me a key, a map and a class timetable. I began to walk away when I heard a voice behind, "Have a good time at Donnas University for the Talented" she smiled and I walked to the elevator. I pressed the button and thought about the school. Donnas University for the Talented (or DUT) was a school that only accepted people of artistic talent. I myself was a singer. I wondered what Jane did. The elevator opened and I stepped out. "509, 510, 511, and 512" I said to myself as I stopped outside 513. I took the key out my pocket and slipped it into the door.
I took in the room. It was large, with all the normal furniture. The window seat caught my attention. I would most likely spend most of my free time reading there. I let my eyes wander over the room. They stopped at the been-bag in the corner. In it was a person; I could not see her face because of a laptop in the way. "Hello?" I asked quietly. The laptop was put on the ground and the person stood up. I gasped, she was beautiful. She had a pale face and sapphire blue eyes. Her hair was a mix between orange and red, with strands of dark red. She had a side fringe that almost covered all her left eye. Her hair was pulled back into a neat ponytail with a sky blue ribbon. She was tall and slim. "Hi, you must be Isabella?" she asked. "Yes, I am, but could you just call me Bella?" I half asked, half said. She walked over to me. She was so graceful. She was, in two words, my opposite. "I am so glad you will be staying here" she pulled me into a hug. "Thanks, but your kind of choking me" I gasped as she held me in her hug. "Sorry" she smiled. "I hope you don't mind, but I am going with some friends from classes, want to come?" she asked while heading to the bathroom. I didn't really know anyone, HELL, I didn't know anyone.
"Sure, but I have nothing to wear" I told her as she shut the bathroom door. It opened the minute I had finish the sentence. She ran to her phone. There was a sound of ringing. "Hi…yeah, she's here…I did…she doesn't know what to wear…yes, that is cute…no she has not met him…I agree, I don't plan on letting her…no duh...okay, see you in a minute" she hung up. "Who was that?" I was completely in the dark. "Oh, that was my best friend Alice Cullen. She is coming over to help get you ready. She is going out tonight with us" she said going through her closet. "Who did you not want me to meet?" I asked innocently. She hesitated but finally spoke. "Alice has two brothers, Emmet is really sweet and strong and awesome, and he is like my big brother. Her other brother Edward, is kind of a player, what am I saying 'kind of', he is a player. Don't take it the wrong way; he can be nice and caring. We just don't want you to meet him because you seem like a really great person and we don't want to see you get hurt in his little game" she said with her back to me. There was a nock at the door and before I could get there a small, pixie like girl jumped into the room. She made every move she took look like a graceful dance. She had short, spiky black. "Oh, she is so pretty" she said to Jane over my shoulder. "I know" Jane answered still in her closet. "Hi, I am Alice Cullen. I bet we are going to be the best of friends" she said pulled me into a hug. Wow, for such a short person she sure is strong. I started making choking noises to show I couldn't breed. She pulled away and grabbed my hand. She led me to my bed. She pushed me onto it while going over to Jane.
"Can I borrow something's" she whispered. Jane nodded and made room for the pixie. She pulled out a few outfits. She finally decided on what I was wearing. She handed me the cloths and shoved me in the bathroom. I began to grumble as I put on the cloths. I took a look in the mirror. Well it wasn't hard to see Alice had amazing style. I was wearing slim, black jeans, a black tank-top and a black blouse. Alice came barging in with a make up bag and a jewelry box. She took out a silver chain and put it around my neck. She took out some silver studs in my ears. Next she moved on to make-up. She put a bit of mascara on me and that was it. She straitened my hair before brushing it. It began to curl up at the end. "Thank you" I said as I looked in the mirror. She gave me a pair of black high-heels and I was ready. "You know I shouldn't wear heels, I am kind of a klutz" I said I wobbled over to them. They looked amazing, of course. Jane was wearing a blue dress the same color as the ribbon that tied her hair back. She wore a red belt slightly lighter then the color of her hair. The dress ended just before her knees. Alice was wearing white jeans under a purple dress similar to Jane's. She had a white belt on and white high heels.
"Where are we going? It doesn't look like we are going to a club" I said taking in their appearances. "We are going to dinner with some friends from school before classes start back" Jane smiled and led me out of the room. We walked over to the elevator in silence. "Oh, I just have to get something out of my room" Alice said as she pushed the button for her floor, one up. When the doors opened Alice sprinted to her door. I looked around her floor. Jane pointed out Alice's room. The one next to it was Emmet and Edward's room. Just at the door of Emmet's room was an unbelievably hot guy. He had bronze, messy hair. When he opened his eyes I had to suppress a gasp. They were to most amazing emerald green color I have ever seen. It was like I could see into his soul. He was sucking the face of some random girl. "I am guessing that's Edward" I whispered to Jane. She sighed then nodded. I walked past Edward over to Alice's room. I looked over at Jane who was still by the elevator with her mouth hanging open. I walked back over to her. "What's up?" I asked her. "I thought I told you to stay AWAY from Edward Cullen" She hissed at me. "What, I didn't do anything" I said confused. "You walked by him, while you walked past he looked up, HE KNOWS YOU'RE HERE NOW, and now he knows, he is going to be all over you trying to get your attention" she whispered. Alice skipped back. I looked up to see her and gasped to see Edwards was still looking at me. Jane told Alice what happened. Alice didn't look annoyed, angry, upset or anything like it. She just looked…normal. "Come on" she said chirpily and dragged us back into the elevator.
