Chapter 1

New Roommate

BPOV

It was mid June in phoenix and I was enjoying the hot shower in my apartment. I lived in this apartment with my discourteous roommate Jessica Stanley. Her best friend Lauren used to live with us too but she recently moved with her boyfriend Tyler Crowley. Now we were in urgent need of a roommate. Expenses were too high for us to deal alone.

It's not like I ever preferred to live as a roommate with Jessica and Lauren, the two girls who left no stone unturned to torture and humiliate me. As far as I know Lauren was always jealous of the unwanted attention that I attracted. Honestly, attracting attention was the second most torturing thing after my roommates. For all I knew people found me interesting because, according to Lauren, I was a freak. The only reason they took me as their roommate in the first place was because of my boyfriend Mike Newton.

Mike and I were high school sweethearts. Jessica has always had a huge crush on him and having me share the apartment meant getting to meet him more often. Well what can I say, some people never give up! But it didn't matter to me. I trusted Mike with all my heart. He loved me and will never cheat on me, plus it was almost impossible to get a cheaper and comfortable apartment than this one in phoenix. After completing my graduation in forks I moved to phoenix for higher studies in medical science. Back then it was very hard for me to find a decent apartment to live in. That's when Mike came in contact with Jessica. Jessica agreed to let me share the apartment. I was definitely uncomfortable with the idea of moving in with a girl who had a crush on my boyfriend and another girl who hated me like hell. But I didn't really have any choice and Mike trusted Jessica so I accepted the offer.

I could not bring myself to regret the decision. Listening to Jessica's humiliating comments on my love life and bearing Lauren's regretful attitude towards me was tormenting but I cant deny the fact that the apartment and the neighborhood was perfect. The crime rates here were almost null and neighbors were very friendly and decent. Our neighbor Mr. and Mrs. Martin were an elderly couple in their 60s and treated me like their own daughter. I always took time to spend a day of my weekend with them to help them around with their household work and also to find a moment of peace from being near Jessica.

I was still enjoying my shower when the door bell made me jump. It was 8:00 pm and Jessica was out for late night party as always and Mike was out of town to meet his grandmother.

Who could it be?

I quickly rapped a towel and went to my room. I opened my wardrobe and took out the first thing I could find. Black shorts and black button down shirt. (Link to Bella's clothes- http: // foreveramber . typepad .com / photos / uncategorized / 2007 / 07 / 19 / alilarter . jpg remove the spaces )

The bell rang again. I ran down stairs to open the door without caring about my wet hair.

Maybe Jessica is home early!

I reached the door and opened it.

I was absolutely taken aback at what I saw. A tall and extremely handsome guy with his exquisite bronze hair and stunning green eyes, standing just inches away from me. My breathing stopped as I took in his god like features. Any Hollywood actor in his best ostentatious appearance would envy this gorgeous guy standing in his casual clothes. He was simply wearing blue jeans and dark blue button down but still he looked like he had just come from shooting a movie.

I got completely lost in the depth of his lovely green eyes.

I can't be sure exactly how much time had past, but we both kept staring in each other's eyes. He was looking at me with the same intriguing expression that I was sure was vivid in my eyes.
