ENJOY! :)

Ordinary, and plain. Two words that directly describe my looks; and although I have been told otherwise by my two long time friends, thats just how I feel. Coming from them it's a compliment, but it doesn't change much. I'm still plain old Bella.
Except to Jacob Black my boyfriend. He's the reason that I remained sane throughout highschool, with the help of Tanya and Kate. I had to endure the Lauren's and Jessica's of the world: two girls that often plotted against me. Stupid bitches.
They hated me because Jacob, one of the hottest guys at Forks high was interested in me. Ordinary, and plain Bella. He paid no attention to them.
So I thought.
I found them having a threesome in my bed at my graduation party. A graduation party that I thought he threw for me, only to figure out after I moved, that Kate threw it for me.
That brings me to now. The present.
One word. College!
Miles from my old home. Miles from my old life. Miles from Jacob.
Miles away and it's still not far enough. I should have taken my moms advice and went to a college in Florida, but I'm so much of a pushover. I let Tanya and Kate talk me into being their roommate. They tried to make it seem as if it was for my own good, or they were just looking out for my well being but I know better.
Tanya held no sympathy for me, claiming thats how relationships are. She said that we got too serious for highschool anyways, and that we were going our separate ways for college, and that he did me a favor.
Yea, a shitty favor.
Kate was a great friend to me. She sat on the phone with me as I cried over Jacob for a month. Jacob tried to contact me and I wanted to talk to him, but I felt that it would defeat the purpose of leaving town so sudden. When I left I didn't give him time to apologize, or plead his case. I left Forks the night of my graduation party. I put all of my savings into a ticket, and left. I stayed with my aunt Carol until it was move in time.
When that time came, aunt Carol was more excited then I was.
"Bella, now you're sure that you've got everything?", She asked me, one hand on her hip. She didn't wait for my answer. "It's no big deal if you've forgotten anything, you can just come back for it...I just want to make sure you-", she was running around like a mad woman.
"I have everything", I cut her off bracing my hands on her shoulders. "You've been great Aunt Carol. I appreciate you so much", She smiles brightly.
"I love you like you're my own.", She hugs me and I hug her back tightly.
"I love you like my favorite aunt", I giggle.
"I'm your only aunt", I nod still smiling.
"I have Garett coming over to help you.", She says as she rolls a suite case of mines to the front door. "Charlie cant possibly help all three of you girls move in by himself. I wish that I could come", She rambles. Times like this she reminds me of her sister, my mom. I miss Renee.
"Again, we are fine. You have to be getting to work. Thank you for enlisting Garett though. I really will appreciate his help.", I say with an appreciative smile. She smiles back happily.
"He said he'll show you around too. He really misses you. Its been nearly four years since he's seen you.", Garett is Aunt Carols only kid, my older cousin, and he is a senior at the University of Washington.
"I know. I've missed him too.", I say as I hear a horn outside. Both of our heads look over to the window. There sits a Red Jeep with Garett and two ridIculously handsome guys.
Are they real or is it just my imagination? I close my eyes and reopen them, and I feel myself being lifted off of the ground.
"Bella!", Garett exclaims. I giggle, swatting his shoulder.
"Put her down Garett.", Aunt Carol rolls her eyes. "Boys", She calls to mysterious unnamed guy number one, and mysterious guy number two. They say their greeting but I miss it staring at the perfect smile that forms on the face of the green-eyed hottie when he speaks to my aunt. His teeth are fucking perfect, his whole face is just...sigh.
I tilt my head to one side examining him. Hoping that I'm not drooling. I hear my name being called.
"Hmm", I answer while blinking.
"This is Edward, and this is Emmett, two of my three roommates", Garrett introduces them, but I can't for the life of me distinguish which one is Edward, and which one is Emmett. Mysterious guy number one has green eyes, long lashes, a firm jaw line, a straight nose, with thick eyebrows, messy copper hair that I would love nothing more than to run my fingers through as he tongue fucks me.
I mentally slap myself. Stop it Bella!
I shake the thought. Calm yourself Bella. He's just a guy.
Mysterious guy number two looks like mysterious guy number one just with curly darker hair, and dimples, plus he's fucking huge. They are equally sexy, they must be related.
I realize that they are waiting on me to say something. "Is she deaf", mysterious guy number one asks in frustration and I frown embarrassed. Carol swats his shoulder.
"Now you stop it Edward", She chastised.
"You dick", Garett says raising his hand exasperated. He turns his attention to me. "Where are your friends", He asks me.
"They should be pulling up with Charlie any minute", before I can get the words out the truck pulls up. Out rushes Kate pulling me into a hug. She kisses my cheek.
"I haven't seen you in nearly three months Bella, I miss you.", She hugs me again and I laugh. I hear a throat near me clear, and I look up to see Garett sizing Kate up and down.
"Kate this is my cousin, Garett", He licks his bottom lip and shamelessly stares her down. She scuffs, and turns away walking back to the car. I follow. "Charlie", I throw myself into my dads arms.
"Bells", He squeezes me. He pulls away, arms on my shoulders. "Call your mother.", I roll my eyes.
"Aunt Carol already told me that she's upset that I didn't ask her to come and help me move. It's not like she would have come", I fold my arms.
"I know that, you know that, and Carol knows that, but even if she can't come she still likes to feel like she's not missing out on your life", I nod. "Don't leave her out, sweetpea...cause then she calls me crying nonsense about you not loving her", I chuckle.
I turn back around to see Aunt Carol directing the guys to my bags and boxes and they arrange them in the Jeep. Tanya finally makes her presence known as my dad walks away to greet Aunt Carol. "Sorry, I was on the phone with Eric. That fucking idiot.", Her current, or ex boyfriend, depending on the day. She can't expect him to be okay with her cheating on him, and she thinks that he's too sensitive, yada yada, blah blah, their relationship scares me. What if a guy that I'm into expects me to share him? Is this what the world of dating has become? Guys have faithful long-term girlfriends, with girls on the side, labeling the girlfriend the main chick, and the girls on the side as side chicks. Is this what Jake wanted?
I instantly feel sick. That's insane! But was I not enough for him? How long had he been cheating on me? Did everyone but me know? These were questions that I left in Forks, all left unanswered.
"Who the fuck is that", I hear Tanya ask, and follow her line of vision. Her eyes set on mysterious guy nunber one. He must feel us looking because he looks over at us, smirks, before quickly looking away. "The fuck? Did he just-", Tanya starts.
"He fucking smirked at you. Tanya your charm doesn't work on everybody", Kate says laughing.
"Is that a challenge, Kate? I do believe that my charm can penetrate anyone", Tanya says. I silently beg Kate not to challenge her. I want to scream he's my mystery man not yours. I almost pout.
"I don't think penetrate fits that sentence properly", I say laughing at her trying to somewhat change the subject from my guy. I look over to see mystery guy take his shirt off, wipe his face, and lift a box. I sigh. He is so fucking hot.
"Fuck, I'd let him penetrate me. Hey hows that for fitting in a sentence huh Bella", Tanya playfully shoves me.
"You'd have to try really hard to get him to penetrate you, Tanya, he smirked at you. Not in a nice way either. It was almost a sneer. It's like he instantly hates you", Kate laughs.
"Can we stop saying penetrate", I whisper as Tanya talks over me.
"He smirked at all of us. Look, it doesn't fucking matter, he is mine", I almost shout that I saw him first, but I don't. I sigh. Tanya always wins. I fold my arms across my chest.
"God, Tanya, take a hint he sneered at you angrily almost", Kate giggles fueling Kate's motivation.
"That's absolutely fine. Angry sex is the best sex",Tanya says with her vision locked on my guy.
My guy?
"Do you only think about sex", I blurt out. They laugh.
"No. I think about-", she pauses. "I think about-uhh-", Tanya says.
"She thinks about shopping", Kate says. Tanya points at her nodding her head.
"Exactly. Thank you Kate. I think about shopping too",Tanya says nodding along with Kate. I fold my arms.
"You're pathetic", I say jokingly walking away. I look back to see her walk right up to mystery guy number one. I watch from across the way, as he all but tells her to fuck off. I can tell he's getting annoyed by his body language. He tugs on his hair, turns away trying to ignore her. She's hovering like an annoying ass fly. I laugh, hoping this rejection will knock her down a peg.
I see Garett walk over to me. "Ready to go", I nod. "You're riding with Charlie?", I nod again. He rubs the back of his neck uncomfortablely. "Don't mind Edward, Bella, he uhh, he's well, he's a bit of a dick.", Garrett says and I smile.
"It's okay", I try to say. He shakes his head.
"No it's not.", He exclaims. I shrug. "You probably wont see him often, but if I'm not around, Bella, I would kind of rather you stay away from him. He's my bestfriend, and you're like my little sister", He playfully shoves me. "He's got a reputation, and I don't want you to be a name on a long list of conquests", I nod understanding. "I'd hate to have to kick his ass okay, so just...for my sanity-",He says playfully, but I can tell that there's a hint of seriousness. I nod trying the rush the conversation.
"I get it. I get it. What about the big one", I nod my head towards him. He's talking to Charlie near the Jeep.
"Emmett is harmless.", Is all he says. "You're not his type", He waves it off.
"What's his type then", I ask. Garett looks at Tanya, answering my question. I see that Tanya is still trying to talk to Edward and I smirk.
Garrett looks back at me."And whats Edwards type", I ask glancing over at Edward, and he looks up at the same time as if he felt me looking at him. His eyes look through me. It's unnerving. I shift feet.
"He doesn't have a type. Girl is his type", Garrett exclaims. I nod completely understanding, my eyes still locked with Edwards. My mouth falls open as I breathed heavier. God, his eyes are penetrating. I shake my head and look away. Now Tanya's got me saying penetrate. I laugh inwardly.
"Hey so, now that I've got that talk covered, we can officially get you moved in.", Garrett says to me, bringing me back to the conversation. I nod and start to walk away. "Remember, tonight, we are starting your college experience. Tell your girls. Especially the taller one", He starts to walk away but turns back. "The leggy one is Kate right", He asks, and I nod, and he mirrors it before walking away.
I walk towards Charlie's truck and I feel his arm around my shoulder. "My little Bella in college. I am getting old", I laugh as we hop in the truck, Kate and Tanya right behind us.
Tanya gets in fanning herself. I turn to face her and see her mouth 'he is hot' while rolling her eyes to the back of her head. "Now you girls listen up", Charlie says loudly. "College is for learning, okay. No funny business, got it. If you engage in funny business, do not invite my Bella into your shit. If you do engage in funny business, and you involve my Bella, I will take action. Clear", I roll my eyes.
"So basically the same rules from highschool", Tanya says uninterested. "No disrespect Charlie but Bella is an adult"
"I can speak for myself", I glare back at Tanya. "It's okay dad. You know that I'm a good girl", I finish and I hear Tanya snort, I look back and glare again.
"That's right kiddo", He ruffles my hair with his hand, I blow a stray hair from my face.
"Let me help", Kate reaches up and helps to fix my hair. She pulls out a brush.
"You look fine Bells, it's just school. You never cared how you looked before", Charlie says with a shrug. Tanya snorts again. "Do you have something to say Miss goddamn Danali", Charlie reacts.
"Just that this is going to be a great experience for Bella, and you can count on us to look after her", Tanya bullshits. I roll my eyes.
"That's more like it. Don't let me catch any of you in any shit", He shouts, and we all nod.
"Yes sir", We say in unison.
Later that day when we are all moved in, with boxes and bags everywhere I sit on the couch in a huff. Kate apparently hears it eventhough her room is the farthest from the living room.
"What's on your mind? Go ahead...spill!", Kate pushes and I roll my eyes. I sit quietly not saying anything wondering how I should bring up whats on my mind. "Is it about Jake", I pause, freaked out that she read my mind. I nod, and she huffs. "He's an ass", she rolls her eyes taking a seat next to me. "It took me so fucking long to plan that party. I had to set Charlie up on a trip Bella...a trip...just to get him out of town.", she runs a hand down her face. "Forget him Bella. You're in college babe. There are plenty of hot guys here"
"Speaking of hot guys, look who's got the hotties number", Tanya flashes her phone with Edwards name on it, and ten numbers under it.
"What the fuck Tanya? Did you show him your twat to get this", Kate shouts snatching the phone from Tanya's hand. I laugh so hard I choke. Thats something that she would do though.
"No I didn't flash him", Tanya snatches the phone back. "I verbally expressed to him what I wanted to do to his dick", she said it like it was nothing.
"Whore", Kate mutters.
"Tsk, tsk, Kate, jealousy is not a good look okay", Tanya says and Kate rolls her eyes.
"I didn't call you a whore because I'm jealous, I called you a whore because... you're a whore", Kate has a duh look on her face.
"Yeah, well this whore is going to go get dressed for the party tonight", Tanya starts to walk away.
"Tanya its only five", I say to her. Her eyes widen.
"Fuck, I have to hurry up then.", she rushes out. I smirk.
"How did she end up like that? I mean, Kate, me and you are okay right? We aren't going insane, or boy crazy",I try to whisper.
She shrugs. "Well Bells, she's not boy crazy, she's sex crazy, and I don't know. She's just been acting a fucking ass since our mom died.", she looks down shrugging again.
"Not trying to be insensitive or anything but firstly Tanya hated your mom, and secondly, shouldn't she be over that phase? Your mom died almost three years ago", she nods.
"And who broke her heart that same year", I wrecked my brain.
"Fucking Dean! I forgot about him. Jake kicked his ass", I laugh, but its short lived. Just like that, my mind is back on Jake. Kate can sense my mood change.
"Thinking about Jake", she asks and I nod.
"Should I call him", I ask and she shrugs.
"I don't know Bells. I don't want to say yes and things go bad and I'm to blame", She states.
"But you do think that I should call him", I ask her again.
"Well yea, I mean, of course for answers, for closure. I think you've left him to sulk long enough.", She reasons and I sigh.
"But not to get back with him", I look up because she doesn't say anything.
"I never want to see you hurt like that Bella, never again.", and thats her answer. I know it's hard for her to say that seeing as she befriended Jacob before she met me. "Do what you think is right.", She says nodding her head and nod. "But not tonight", I furrow my eyebrows waiting for an explanation. "Tonight we are doing everything wrong", I roll my eyes at her as I see Tanya walk out of her room with two short ass dresses.
"Which", is all she says. I point to the black one. "Good choice", she looks down at it.
"Because you can't wear white obviously", Kate says, I crack a smile. "You think you'll be showing enough skin Tanya", Kate says with fake concern and I snicker. "I mean you might as well go naked"
"Believe me with this body, I would if I could.", with that she walks away. "I'm going to be on my worst behavior tonight", she shouts to us. Kate slaps her forehead.
"We are going to have our hands full tonight aren't we", I say and Kate peeks between her fingers to look at me, she nods. "Fuck"
Knock knock! I hear someone at the door and I jump up, but then I look at the knob and its twisting open. Is this a mind trick? I blink my eyes, and see the door wide open, and theres a two figures standing there.
There's a tall blonde man and woman I think they are twins, standing at my door. They are strikingly beautiful. "Are you okay", The guy asks. I nod.
I find my words. "Can I help you", I ask.
"I live here", The woman states directly. I smile.
"Hi I'm Bella", I try to say cheerfully. She rolls her eyes.
"No fucking way, I'm Bella too", she mocks me with fake excitement and walks further into the dorm.
"Don't mind her. That's Rosalie-", He points at her and she flicks him off. "-and I'm Jasper. I live in Cedar Apartments with your cousin I believe"
"Garrett", He nods. "So she's the reason he made sure we had a four bedroom", He nods.
"She had a bit of a late admission-", He starts but she interrupts.
"-I had a late admission because I don't fucking want to be here, and daddy has too much fucking money",, she crosses her arms. "You guys know that I want to fix cars and-"
"-Goddamn it Rose are you going to bitch about this everyday? Wake up sweetheart, you're in the real world",He reacts. It's like they forgot that I'm standing here.
"You sound just like him. It makes me sick", Jasper slaps his forehead. "As if I can't make real money in a garage"
"Can we just try this first Rose? That's all they are asking. Just give it a try.", He begs and she nods. I can tell that they've had this conversation often. "Now that thats settled, see you guys at our place later", He leaves.
I look down at all of her bags and boxes. "Can I help you with these", I ask politely and she raises an eyebrow.
"Which one is mines",She questions. I point straight ahead. She reaches down grabs a box and walks down the hall and to the right where her room is. I reach and grab two bags walking them to her door. She comes to the door and takes the bags from my hands.
"Thanks", she mutters, turns around and places the bags in the bed. Five minutes later everything is in her room, and Kate and Tanya are both out of the shower ready to greet her.
"Guys this is Rosalie", I introduce them. Kate smiles and waves, Tanya adjusts her robe not acknowledging Rosalie.
"Bella, can you curl my hair when it dries?", she asks me.
"I can do it", Kate says.
"No, last time I let you curl my hair you quit half way through saying it was too much work. No, I want Bella to do it because she's not a fucking quitter", Tanya exclaims harshly. "Bella?", she asks. I nod
Fucking pushover! Kate knows that I hate helping Tanya with her hair. She's so particularly, and she knows that I wont bitch and moan when she treats me like shit, unlike Kate who will quickly give Tanya a piece of her mind.
"Good, now who's painting my nails", she looks at each of us even Rosalie who glares at her. "Fine, I guess I'll do it myself since you bitches feel that you're too busy to help out a friend."Tanya starts to walk away.
"I'm not your fucking friend", Rosalie states.
"Of course Rosalind you're not", Rosalie unfolds her arms and takes a step to Tanya.
"My name is Rosalie, bitch", Rosalie says forcefully.
"Okay, okay, Rosalie, whatever! Are you going to paint my nails or not", Tanya asks again qnd Rosalie looks like she's about to lunge at Tanya, and Kate notices. She pulls Tanya out of the living room to her bedroom.
"What's her problem? What does she think we are? Her servants", Rosalie snaps. "I have a bit of a temper. I'm working on it" I chuckle.
"You going over to your brothers house later", I ask and she nods.
"Yep, Jas thinks that I need every college experience that he's had", She saus to me and I furrow my eyebrows.
"Who's Jas"I question.
"Jasper...my brother", Rose explains, rolling her eyes. I nod in understanding. Whoa that totally went over my head. She cracks a smile.
When we get Cedar Apartments, we are bumrushed with drinks from guys. I see Garrett and the guys and he waves me over, so I grab the nearest hand,-safety in numbers-and go over to them. I look up to see that I'd grabbed Rosalie's hand. The first eyes that I come in contact with when I approach the guys is the green pair. He's having a conversation with Jasper while staring at me. I shake my head to clear my thoughts.
I try to introduce Rosalie but realize that she's already met them. She greets them all except Emmett who gets pissed.
"I know that you can see my Rose", He asks loudly.
"Yeah, I do Em. Atleast this time your clothed", I'm missing something. Everyone oow's, and ahh's but Jasper.
"Babe, I told you that was then and this is now", Emmett says taking a step to Rose who scuffs. Jasper puts a hand to Emmett's chest to stop him from getting closer. Emmett looks down at the hand then up into Jaspers eyes.
"Em, let's go grab a beer", Edward says but Emmett doesn't move. "Em...beer", Edward says, and Emmett snaps out of it and follows Edward. I look over to see Jasper shaking his head, as he starts a conversation with Garrett.
"What was that about", I ask Rosalie.
She nods her head in Emmett's direction. I look up to see the brothers staring at us. "I came to visit Jasper last summer, met Emmett, he fucked my brains out, I told him that I loved him-which I do-the next day I find him and his asshole brother in the living room fucking half of the damn cheerleading squad", My eyes widen. "They think that shit is okay, but it's not. They are sharers, and he just...he expected me to be okay with it", she shook her head.
"Are Garett and Jasper like that", I ask and she squints her eyes at me.
"Ask him yourself. I'm not going to snitch on Garrett", I roll my eyes. "Okay, yea, they have all passed around a few girls here and there over the past two years but, Jasper stopped. He's crazy in love with Edward and Emmetts little sister. She lives at home, but takes a few classes here. She started college last year. Alice-that's her name-doesn't take anyones shit. She's fucking blunt as hell", she pauses to laugh. "She came to his dorm room, and he had a girl there, they weren't doing anything but she was there. Alice said, "Well, Jazzy did you get checked for claumidia today or what", she laughs. "The girl couldn't leave fast enough", I laugh with her. "Every since then he's been pretty faithful", she looks back over at Emmett who has his arm around a girls waist. I look on to see Edwards hands on this other girls ass. I smirk. "Wish I could say the same for Emmett", She says sadly and I nod.
"They are jerks Rose", I say to her and she nods.
"I know, I know. Jasper akready told me to stay away", she looks back at me.
"Garrett told me the same thing",I say looking down. I'm actually sad that that's what Garrett wants.
"They have reason too. They know first hand how bad their friends are", I nod back at her. "Doesn't stop my feelings for him", she grunts. "Thats the other reason that I didn't want to come here", I rub her arm. I can't think of anything to say, but I'm so lucky that I have Kate.
"Let's get drunk", she comes and shouts behind us. Both Rose and I laugh.
"Is there any motherfucking Amsterdam here", I yell, Rose laughs.
"Watch your fucking mouth Bella, goddamit", I laugh harder. Apparently she's already been drinking. She kisses my cheek, grabs the whole bottle of Amsterdam and tilts it towards me. I look on confused. Rose taps me.
"Like this B", she says then tilts her head back as Kate pours liquor in her mouth. That's not very sanitory. I make a face.
"Come on, Bells. Tilt your head", I comply, and taste the smooth liquor as it goes down my throat. "Do me", she opens her mouth.
"Ill do it", I hear Garrett say from behind me. He grabs the bottle from Kate. "Allow me to be a good host", He touches his chest gingerly staring at Kate. "I have to show you how to properly get fucked up", Kate rolls her eyes.
"You pretty boys are all the same", Kate tilts her head to the side.
"Pretty boy?", Garrett says raising the bottle and shaking his head no. Kate opens her mouth. I look away, and catch a glance of Tanya. She's holding someone's hand, I can't see who, but they are leading her down the hallway. I tap Kate, and reach up to speak in her ear.
"Tanya just went to the back with someone.", Kate shakes her head. "Should we-", I point, she pushes my hand down.
"She's an adult", Kate looks embarrassed. I look over at Rosalie to see her arms folded.
"She'll learn", Rose states, and I shake my head.
"She wont. She's just like them", I say sadly, hoping Edward wasn't the one that took her to the back.
