[This is my first FanFiction! Critiques are appreciated, tell me how you like it

Disclaimer: I can only claim the plot idea and my made-up university. Everything else belongs to Stephenie Meyer.

Moving day finally arrived. Edward and I borrowed Emmett's jeep to haul all of our belongings up to the dorm. Charlie had tried to insist that he come help me move in, but I assured him that Edward and I could handle it, and that Esme had already offered to come. It was easier if he stayed in Forks, anyway. Much to my disappointment, Edward had stayed as stubborn as always, insisting that I should experience college as a human. He also remained annoyingly enthusiastic about it.

So I found myself in the back seat of my boyfriend's brother's jeep, being crushed between a basket full of clothing and an enormous box of Edward's Cds.

"Oh, come on, Bella!," Edward taunted, "Aren't you at least a little bit excited to be going to college?"

I had to bite my tongue to stop myself from reminding him to keep his eyes on the road. Edward had this annoying habit of turning fully around in his seat to look back at me while he was driving.

There was only one thing in particular that I was looking forward to, namely the lack of parental supervision on campus. Edward and I would have plenty of time alone. Not that we could go very far, due to the fact that Edward was also very stubborn about us getting married before we attempted anything…extremely intimate.

At that thought, I sighed and peeked down at the stunning ring upon my left hand. I was reminded once again that I was engaged, and that there was nothing I could do about it.

That train of thought crashed into the side of my skull as the vehicle came to a stop in front of our dorm building. Esme climbed out of the passenger's side while Edward practically leaped out of the driver's seat to come around and open my door for me. Always so chivalrous.

As always, Edward's beauty and the brilliance of his golden eyes caused me to have to stifle a gasp as he grasped my hand, helping me to my feet. Esme had disappeared into the lobby of the dorm building.

Edward grinned lopsidedly as he closed the door of the jeep behind me. The sky was cloudy, but there was enough sunlight peeking through to make Edward's chalk-white skin sparkle faintly. In awe, I reached up and caressed the edge of his jaw with my finger-tips. His smile faded into a somewhat softer expression as he pressed me gently against the side of the crimson jeep. His frozen fingers laced themselves in my hair as his lips, colder still, neared mine. "Welcome to college," he murmured before he crushed his mouth against mine. I shivered as his sculpted body pressed mine slightly more forcefully against the car door, and I wrapped my arms firmly around his neck.

We stayed there for many moments, his mouth moving slowly on mine as I clung to him tighter. When we finally parted, I smiled to myself. Judging by this moment, college may turn out to be WAY better than I thought.

My face was still tinged scarlet when Esme emerged from the lobby and approached Edward and I by the car.

"Your dorm rooms are ready!," She announced with enthusiasm. "We just have to check you in and pick up your keys."

Edward grinned at me again, and I rolled my eyes at him. We followed Esme through the doors of the lobby and up to the long table positioned near the entrance.

Seated behind the long table was middle aged man sporting the most enormous moustache the world has ever seen. It practically obscured his entire face.

"Uh, hello?," I stammered.

"State your names," the man sighed. Apparently he had gotten very used to this routine.

"I'm Isabella Swan, and this is Edward Cullen," I explained. The man reached behind him and pulled two files out of a cabinet. He opened each of them and handed us each a key.

"You," he pointed at me, "are on floor three, room 16." I accepted the key that was handed to me. Next, he pointed at Edward. "You are on floor three, room 11." Edward's smirk grew larger as he accepted his key and winked at me. We thanked the mustached man and turned to walk back outside.

I must admit, the campus was stunningly gorgeous. Granite Bay Academy was in southern Canada, near the border between British Columbia and Washington state. There was plenty of cloud cover year round and the campus was blanketed by a forest of pine trees. It suited our needs and desires perfectly.

With a smile on my face and in my heart, I clasped Edward's hand and pulled him closer to me.

"Well, time to move in?," I asked.

"I believe it is." Edward confirmed. So we walked toward the jeep, toward a new chapter in our lives.
