Chapter One

"Bells, do you have everything you need?" My dad asked. I sighed and for the 3rd time I replied, "YES, DAD, ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. You don't need to worry! Emmett's picking me up at the airport and he'll help me with the schedules and dorms and stuff. Stop stressing, Dad, I'm gonna be fine!" "Oh alright!"

Isabella Marie Swan is my name, I'm 18. I'm heading to New York to attend Meyer University for my first year, my brother, Emmett, is a 3rd year. I can't WAIT to see him!

"Flight 239 to New York is boarding now."

"I guess that's my cue, I'll miss you daddy." I said as I gave him a long bear hug. "Oh baby girl, I'll miss you too, remember: email, chat, call, and then VISIT!" He smiled trying to hide his tears. I gave him one last hug and went off to board the plane.

Isabella Swan, say goodbye to Forks and hello to New York.

Hours Or So Later

"Flight 239 to New York has landed, please watch your step when leaving the plane. Thank you for using States Airlines"

I walked off the plane, got my luggage, and started to look for Emmett. After about 30 minutes with no luck, I sat down in the food court and waited for a text or a call. Stupid Emmett, if he forgot, the first thing he'll get is a smack in the face.

An Hour Later

"Bella!!! Bella!?!?" I heard someone yelling my name and I turned around and saw Emmett with some of his friends. He had his arms wide open, thinking I was going to run up and hug him. Instead, I ran up to him and smacked him right in the face. "OWWW!! Bella! What the hell??" He yelled, holding his red cheek. "NEXT TIME DAD CALLS YOU TO PICK ME UP SOMEWHERE, DON'T FREAKING SLEEP IN, YOU STUPID IDIOT!" I yelled. It was 3:00 and I was blowing off steam. "I'm sorry, Bells! I forgot." Emmett whined, hoping I was going to forgive him. I put on my innocent face, "Oh Emmett, it's ok...NOT!" And I gave him another big thump in the head. "BELLA!!" He whined. I sighed and gave him a big, long hug. Someone cleared their throat behind us and we both turned around .

"Oh yeah, Bells, I almost forgot. This is Rosalie, my girlfriend, Jasper, her twin, Alice, Jasper's girlfriend, and Edward, Alice's brother. Guys, this is Bella, my sister." Emmett introduced. Before I could even say hi, Alice ran towards me and pulled me into a hug, "OHBELLAITSSONICETOMEETYOU!I'VEHEARDSOMUCHABOUTYOU!WE'!!" What the hell??

Jasper pulled Alice off and shot me an apologetic look, I smiled. "You're really cool, Alice, but I'll tell you one thing straight. I will not go shopping. At all." I said. "Bella hates shopping." Emmett explained further more. Alice smiled and just said they'd still have fun. We headed back toward MeyerU.

At MeyerU

Luckily, I have a room all to myself AND I'm next to Alice and Rosalie in Dormitory V; Room 382. I unpacked, grabbed my guitar, and let myself drift into my music.

Ooooo
Yeah
I didn't wanna listen to what you were sayin'
I thought that I knew all I need to know
I didn't realize that somewhere inside me
I knew you were right but I couldn't say so

I can take care of myself, yeah, you taught me well

I learned from you that I do not crumble
I learned that strength is something you choose
All of the reasons to keep on believin'
There's no question, that's a lesson, that I learned from you

I heard clapping and opened my eyes. Emmett, Edward, Jasper, and Alice were standing in front of me. "OH MY GOSH! BELLA, YOU ARE AMAZING!" Alice squealed. "Umm.." "Alice's right, Bella, are you majoring in music?" Jasper asked. I nodded. "Really? So am I." Edward finally spoke. My eyes lit up, "That's amazing, what instrument do you play?" I asked. He smiled an overly adorable crooked smile and answered the piano.

"WELL, if you two are done with your music-y talk, I'd like to go grab some dinner!" Emmett said. I laughed, got up, set my guitar down, but being my usual klutzy self I tripped over my backpack. Expecting the cold hard ground, I felt two arms holding my waist and when I looked up, Edward had caught me. "Are you alright?" He laughed. "Yeah" I breathed.

"Ok, let's go get dinner." Emmett said tensed, pulling Edward off of me. "Bella, lemme talk to you for a sec, you guys go ahead, we'll meet you at the cafeteria." They agreed and left the room, leaving me and my brother. "Soo.. Emmy, what's up?" I asked calmly.

"Bella, stay away from Edward. I know he's my best friend and all, but he's not a good guy." Emmett said seriously. "Oh come on, Emmett, it's not like I like him. Besides, who the hell are you to tell me who I can and cannot hang out with?" I retorted. "Oh you don't like him, huh? I saw the way you looked at him." I blushed. "SEE?! YOU'RE BLUSHING, AHA!" He yelled. I rolled my eyes. "Bells, he's a player. Ok? He seems nice at first but that's how he reels you in."

"Emmett! Chill, dude, seriously, I'll be cautious or whatever. And you know, if he tries anything, I'm be slapping him silly, so why are you tripping?" I asked. He sighed and hugged me, "You're my little sis, Bells, I don't wanna see you get hurt." I smiled, "Don't worry, you're little sister is growing up." He laughed and pinched my cheeks, "Alright, let's go meet up with the others."

"You guys took forever! Rosalie's gonna meet up with us later. We ordered for you guys already so yeah." Alice explained. I nodded. "EDDIE!!' Some high pitched girl squealed. We all turned around and I see Edward stand up, kiss the girl on the lips, and made plans for a date. Alice rolled her eyes. The girl left and 5 minutes later another girl came up to him, this time, it was a brunette. He went up to her, kissed her lips, and made plans for another date. I frowned, Emmett was right.

"Hey, I'm tired, I'm gonna go back to my dorm." I said. "Alright, see you later, Bells." Emmett said, the others waved. When I got up, Edward caught me by the arm, "Wait, Bella," He handed me a piece of paper, "Call me sometime." I frowned, shook off his arm, threw the paper away, and walked away; remembering my past relationships.
