Chapter 1: Originally Chapters 1-6

Disclaimer: The characters and inspiration are all from Stephenie Meyer. This is merely written for fun as a spin off of her novels.

I have really enjoyed writing this but it is way way more fun if you will write me a review about how you like it, with any questions you have, or suggestions, or guesses about where the story is headed.

As many fanfic authors have pointed out- Reviews make this all worth while!


I sat in a large room, underdressed, bored, full of anticipation and intimidated. Everyone told me that I was too stubborn, that I should pursue something more delicate like painting or photography that I should focus on finding a man and raising some children. And I heard them talk, I understood, I wanted that too, but not yet and not really.

Sure the American dream consists of all of that, so I can see why my friends and family wanted that for me, but if they really knew me, or honestly, if I knew myself enough to be able to explain it to them, then they would understand why I am here now; sitting in a room with 200 other people, waiting for an expensive three years to go by so that I can be in the courtroom, legally representing people.

Right now, we have been waiting in the dead heat of August for no less then three hours while more and more overdressed 1L's shuffle through the orientation line. Orientation here is for an entire week and day one is so absurd that I am completely terrified of how bad the rest of the week is going to be.

The law school put little place cards out in their largest auditorium and I am nestled in the far back corner, between two other people who got here early like I did. I was tempted to introduce myself but we all sat down at the same time and when they would glance my way and I would pull up the courage to say "Hi, I am Bella Swan" they would sigh and look through me before I could exhale.

I think I missed some of the pre-orientation materials that said you will be treated like dirt if you do not wear Sunday's best or a designer suit. But to be honest I just graduated a few months ago from my undergrad, UMass Lowell, so I didn't gripe over all of the materials that were sent to me. I did the reasonable thing and took the summer to have fun, I didn't read in advance, and I was used to wearing jeans and sweatshirts to class all through undergrad so the fact that I was wearing khakis and a polo shirt in this 99% humidity weather deserved a round of applause- instead I am being ignored for looking like a golf reject.

"Seriously Y'all? Is this EVER going to start?- I am payin' way to much to be here right now, when I could be payin to relax a little longer on the beaches in Cali."

I turned around to see who it was that broke the uncomfortable silence. My eyes landed on a handsome blonde guy, who looked like an avid swimmer, he was maybe 5'10. He was wearing an aqua and grey plaid shirt, an easy smile and his blue eyes were twinkling.

"I know what you mean, I was hiking through some of the mountains back home in Washington a few days ago and I feel like this waiting time is almost more exhausting haha, I'm Bella by the way, you are?" I stuck my arm out awkwardly and confidently hoping that he wouldn't look straight through me like my fellow row neighbors did. I could not risk ignoring the first person who didn't sound like he was an arrogant jerk.

"Well ma'am sorry for being rude before, I'm Jasper, my dad graduated from here a few decades ago and basically dragged me from the beach so that I could be useful to him when the time comes to take over his firm. This is the last place in the world that I want to be." He shook my hand firmly and I smiled at him. Then he had a thoughtful look on his face. "Would you want to grab some drinks after this day ends? It would be nice to get to know someone else in the area."

I blushed a little but then realized it was stupid for me to assume he was hitting on me, sounds more like he was an angry drinker- and those are usually the worst. I really should say no in that case but his smile is so friendly.. shit. "Actually people are still doing tours of the library I can almost guarantee we are going to be waiting around for another 2 hours, and I could go for a bloodymary, how about we see what this campus has to offer when it comes to local bars?"

"Bella, I think you and I might just be long lost relatives, lets go find you that bloodymary!"

Jasper and I strolled out of orientation, leaving behind a room of stuffy people and found ourselves just at the end of the block in a small tavern that completely hid the fact that it was a hot summer day, its walls were covered in dark wood and bar stools and tall tables were scattered around randomly.

I just finished my library tour and was making my way to sit in the lecture hall. I took my time walking there because I knew how many fucking people were still waiting in line to tour the library.

The tour guides were way too eager and excited about what the library had to offer. If I was giving them my full attention I could recite to you the names of over 10,000 books that the library carries.

Haven't they ever heard of the fucking Dewy Decimal system? That no one gives a shit what books you carry, they only care about finding a book or two on the same day they need the book. Plus who cares what books your carry in general if they are not in the library the day you need the book! Assholes.

Overall the tour was a huge waste of time.

I made my way through the atrium and noticed a stunning brunette stroll out of the orientation room. I tried not to stare at her. Due to her quick pace a little breeze picked up and I stopped dead in my tracks. She smelled amazing. Like freesia, birthday cake and something more sinister, freshly chopped jalapenos. I wanted to kiss her.

I started to pay more attention and realized she was following a strong and good looking blonde guy out of the school and by their light hearted interactions I got the feeling they were about to hook up to kill time.

Jealousy surged through me. I wished I had seen her first. That she was following me out of the building so I could taste her skin and have her scream my name.

That wish surprised me...

"Eddie!"

Oh right.

"Hey Tanya."

"Hey, I'm sad you didn't come over last night. Will you be joining me tonight after this hellish day ends?" She looked up at me, all smiles.

"Yeah, we have some things to talk about. I will come by with some wine around 7?" This year was the year I really needed to decide what the fuck I was doing with my life, my personal life not my professional life. I still had to decide if Tanya would be a part of both and in what capacity. "I think I am going to head inside the lecture hall now."

"Right behind you hot stuff." She giggled.

"Hmm I guess law school makes people want to drink in dungeons if this place is making any kind of living for the owners, I think we should go someplace else..." I glanced at Jasper hoping he would agree with me.

A bell like voice resounded through the empty room. "Miss. I actually have an upstairs with an outdoor patio overlooking the campus, we just renovated and it hasn't opened officially but I am just so excited to show it off, will you come? Your tab for the day will be my treat actually."

I looked over to see a hazel eyed girl. maybe 24 years old, wearing a cute silver tunic, her black hair was pulled into a short pony and she had a smile so bright and contagious that I quickly agreed without even asking Jasper.

"Eeeek! Great! Right this way come on!" She gave me a side hug and started to pull my hand, but I hesitated and turned to Jasper.

Jasper was just standing still, his easy smile was missing. Brows were raised, cheeks were tinted pink. I didn't know what to make of it since I just met him, but I didn't think boys blushed really- I mean they would get flushed after working out or after fooling around, but usually that was it. So I tried to take stock of him to see what was up... seriously? Jasper had both hands in his pockets, a huge bulge in his crotch and a small damp spot off on the side of his jeans.

I have no idea if that was there before but like an idiot I just stared at the spot, confused. Did this girl seriously just make Jasper cum in his pants? There is no way...

"Sir, would it be okay for you guys to come upstairs? Please?" The girl looked up to him with sad eyes that were almost sparking with tears it seemed.

"Darlin, you will never have to beg me to come upstairs with you. I will go anywhere you ask me to go." Then he shot her a winning smile that gave me the shivers. When did he get so HOT?

The girl beamed back at him then ran up and kissed his cheek and pulled him up the staircase. I smiled behind them and followed.

"I'm Mary Alice. I just inherited this dump and have been fixing it up over the summer. What are your names? When did you get to Dartmouth?"

"My name is Jasper Whitlock, I arrive last night, originally from Texas but I've been holing it up in a little shack out near San Diego. It's a pleasure to meet you Mary Alice"

"I'm Bella Swan, I also got here yesterday. I'm from middle of nowhere Forks Washington and also from Phoenix Arizona, it's nice to meet you Mary Alice!"

We reached the top of the stairs as Mary Alice pushed the door open and light flooded the whole staircase. Upstairs the entire room was made of glass with white tables and block colored chairs, colorful tile mosaics drew pictures all over the floor. There was a beautiful bar that functioned as a coffee and pastry area and then further back there was a full wet bar and beer on draft. This place is going to be my safe haven.

Alice smiled brightly at us, linked her arms through mine and Jaspers and continued to pull us out through some french doors to a huge patio. The patio had safari furniture made of tan and black woven bamboo material. Some long benches were along the glass walls with plants behind them. Ancient looking lanterns lined the banisters, heat lamps stood near the tables and a strikingly beautiful view overlooking the campus grounds spread out before us.

"Mary Alice, this is amazing..." I focused on the grounds and was falling into a day dream, how did I get to this place? To my top choice school?

" You think so? I loved working on this but I didn't know how the students here would like it. That dingy basement seemed to make a killing before so I was hesitant to change it but I couldn't stand not re-decorating this place!"

"This is like we fell into a rabbit hole and came out in a different world, in fact Darlin' I think I'm going to have to call you Alice from this point forward because it's so fitting, everything about you is enchanting."

Alice giggled and hugged Jasper from behind.

"You know what, I love the sound of that, I just left the air force and Georgia and am finally on my own away from overbearing grandparents, why not kick off this new chapter with a new Identity? Bella, Jasper- my name is Alice Brandon and I think we are going to be best friends! Now what can I get you?"

She danced behind the bar and started taking out some fancy glasses. We all relaxed and started getting to know each other more.

So Alice was a little excited and added a little extra vodka to my bloodymarys. We joked a lot about my drink of choice since Jasper just "killed Mary" off of Alice's birth name. It was decided that the bloodymary going to become a tradition for the three of us. Alice was so protective of this new inside joke that she said she was going to take Bloodymary off of the menu so it would stay special and represent a new beginning with new friends.

To be fair it was not really the extra shot per bloodymary but it was a combination having a salad for dinner last night, fruit snacks for breakfast, and not eating lunch yet.. plus downing four bloodymarys with celery that left me past being buzzed.

"Oooh no, Jasperrr we have exactly one minute to get to orientation if we want to be fashionably late. Alice you are so awesome, we will stop by as soon as orientation is over so we can catch up more!"

"Darlin, this is going to be a rough four hours but thank you for the drinks and your spell binding company. Will you do me the honor of having dinner with me tomorrow night? My treat?"

"Yes, I would love that! Will you also be coming by tonight with Bella?"

"Sure will! Ready Bella?"

Before I could get up Alice started to whisper in my ear "Bella will you stay later too so we can have a girls night and you can help me get ready for my date with Jasper tomorrow?"

I nodded and whispered that I would then ran down the stairs and out the door with Jasper to try to make it into orientation.. fashionably late.

Note that my plan to day drink was not one of my best. Meeting Alice was wonderful, getting to know Jasper was great. But running drunk was a bad idea because I am a clumsy idiot and when I tried to run inside the law school my foot snagged on the threshold of the door and I face planted, twisting my ankle and moaning in pain.

Jasper was just ahead of me, he stifled a laugh but then saw I was likely hurt and pulled me off the floor.

"Darlin, you okay?"

"Yes yes thank you, lets rush"

"Hang on.. you are sort of limping over there Speedy Gonzalez, let me hold your arm."

Again, it was a bad idea. We were out of breath, drunk, Jasper was holding me close, my face had a red mark on it from the floor, Jasper had a suspicious spot on his pants and it was no surprise that "fashionably late" does not exist among the crowd of people who attend law school orientation.

Everyone stared at us as we tried to make our way to the back and my face was heating up as I heard the "whispers".

"What the hell were they up to?"

"Looks like she likes it rough."

"He didn't even have the decency to change..."

"Alcoholics."

"What a whore!"

I was trying to be discrete and not bother the people who I had to walk past, but I unfortunately had to get my entire row to stand up so I could get to my seat- due to my injured ankle I was basically hopping to my seat and was falling into people left and right.

I am going to be the most hated person in the entire class. Shit. Since I want to do Criminal Defense work, might as well get used to being hated now I guess.

The Dean who was speaking could no longer ignore my actions and stopped talking- waiting for me and the entire row to be seated before continuing and basically the entire room turned to look at me. Shit. Hated and the center of attention. Again I guess I have to get used to this, maybe I'm not cut out for this career choice...

Once seated I bravely picked my head up to look at each and every person who was glaring at me, most had turned around. But near the front, way off to the side was the most handsome guy I have ever seen- I literally moaned out loud when I made eye contact with him. He was stunning. When our eyes met his eyebrows lifted up in curiosity and he seemed to become dazed, but then his green eyes focused on mine and he began to look bored and annoyed.

I watched as his eyes shifted past me to where Jasper was seated and his handsome face turned angry. Then his eyes snapped back to mine and his glare transformed into disgust. I rolled my eyes. Fuck this guy for judging me like the rest of them. People and their expectations. He must have seen me roll my eyes cause he snapped out of his hateful daze and now the Dean had his full attention.

Four long tedious hours passed and the entire hall began to dump out into the atrium of the law school. Jasper looked anxious to go see Alice again but now I was feeling sleepy and distraught. The orientation basically outlined all of the ways we could be kicked out, how much our lives our going to suck in law school and after law school. To top it off I was coming down from being drunk into the sleepy state of buzzdom.

"Bella, you ready to head out again or are you going to call it a night?"

A girl with blonde hair so white she might have been a 90 year old looked back at us blatantly. She sized me up then squared her shoulders and looked to Jasper while licking her recently glossed lips. "The afternoon ron-de-vous with minnie mouse didn't do it for you, handsome? Maybe you should come home with me instead, I know how to satisfy my men". And she started to reach forward to grab his jean clad thigh.

Jasper side stepped her reach but otherwise ignored her and kept his eyes on me. I, on the other hand, am practicing to become an advocate, that is why I am paying all of this money to be here, right? So Jasper sir, you are very welcome to be my first pro-bono client.

"Ms. Denali was it? Yes, I was paying attention during role call- don't look so shocked. Was it hard for you to concentrate during orientation? Because we spent at least 20 minutes talking about sexual harassment and what behaviors would not be tolerated and you crossed the line twice. Keep your advances away from Jasper unless he gives you some indication that they are consented to, other wise grabby hands- I will report you to the honors board."

The blonde rolled her eyes at me mumbling that I was a "possessive slut" and started to walk forward, but not before winking at Jasper and telling him that the offer was open.

"Ma'am, calling my friends sluts will never get you anywhere with me. And overall, calling people sluts won't get you anywhere in life, you best shape up that attitude while you still can. Lets go Bella."

Then Jasper escorted me past Ms. Denali and out the doors where I promptly walked into the back of a person in a totally packed atrium.

"Oh shit I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to hit you in the back of the knee like that. I was walking full speed. I thought this would have cleared out some more by now, are you okay?"

This man turned around to face me and I was struck again by how handsome he was, his strong jaw was clean shaven, he was wearing a crisp charcoal suit that hinted at his muscular figure and his green eyes bore into mine. He towered over my 5'4 frame, he had to have been 6'2. But I just kept talking.

"I am glad you didn't fall! I am so clumsy, whenever my friends would do that to me growing up my reflexes are so delayed I would always fall onto my hands and knees.. hehe.. uhh not like that, anyways glad that didn't just happen to you! Really though- are you okay?" Yes friends, I am a bumbling idiot.

By now I could smell his cologne - he was so close still, it was like fresh rain, mint, and cedar. It was so manly that I moaned again. Then shut my eyes in horror only to open them to see that he looked kind of disgusted.

Jasper was to my right side still and was looking for a path to get us back to Alice pronto.

"Yes miss. I am okay. You should be more careful about where you going, you are going to learn very soon all about Tort liability and that unwanted touching could be considered a battery, but I will give you a pass." He gave me a stony glare.

"Hm, I take it you read ahead for our Torts class?" I stated sarcastically, I wasn't about to let him talk down to me.

"I am prepared to graduate from Law School so I have done everything that is necessary."

"Have you finished the posted practice tests for Professor Black's Constitutional Law class yet? I already scheduled some office hours to go over my essays with him once the class starts up." At this point I am lying to this hot guy cause he seems like a gunner- someone who will fuck with the class's stress level to make other people do worse just so that they can get they "A". I want him to know that he wont be able to get under my skin.

He just raised his eyebrows at me and turned his back to me.

Then the white haired girl, Ms. Denali, slithered past me. I looked and her direction just before she made eye contact with me and grabbed the hot guys butt cheek roughly.

His shoulders went rigid and he turned his head so slowly back to look at me I didn't know if I should stay annoyed at Danali, if I should laugh, or if I should be terrified.

"Do not touch me." He looked like he was fuming. "That was highly inappropriate, especially with your new boyfriend on your arm. I am tempted to go to the honors board right now". His glare was so intense that I thought I had been punched in the gut- this was my dream to go to law school and this asshole and stupid girl are going to take that away? WTF.

" Eddie, why does everyone keep throwing around going to the 'honors board' like its some sort of big deal? If it had been me that grabbed your fine ass would you tell on me to the board? What if I like the punishment the 'honors board' dishes out, will you get jealous Eddie?"

"Tanya, if you were listening during orientation you would know that the honors board can expel you or say you are of such poor character that you should not be admitted to the bar even after you pass the test."

Eddie looked at me as he said the part about poor character and I felt like I had shriveled up and died inside. This guy hates me so much and if he does bring me in front of the board, in the drunken state I am in, no one is going to believe me that I did not grab his ass, especially since everyone thinks Jasper and I hooked up.

Tanya giggled and Jasper spoke so calmly it almost masked his anger but not really.

"Listen up Eddie, if you don't want your ass grabbed tell Tanya not to grab it. And while you are giving lessons that our professors are paid hundreds of thousands to teach, why don't you teach your friend Tanya about the Crimes of sexual harassment and assault as well as the Torts of battery and assault? Bella is way too classy to treat people the way Tanya just did, did you forget that she merely bumped into and then apologized profusely- do you really think she is just going bother you again but this time intentionally? I've only known the girl since this morning but I can assure you that I know her character better then you know Tanya's and if you go to the board it's going to be Ms. Denali that is expelled not Miss Swan."

Eddie looked over at me, still furious, he glanced at Tanya and seemed to have his eyes glaze over in understanding.

I needed to get out of here, away from him. Jasper is my savior right now. Before I walked out I glanced sadly up at Eddie, still feeling sick to my stomach at the ease in which he was ready to end my legal future, then turned and gave Jasper a quick hug before pulling him out of the crowd and down to Alice's bar.

Alice had three plates each with a fresh panini, sweet potato chips, a dill pickle wedge and a round of bloodymarys waiting for us when we got to the patio of her bar. She was so right about us becoming best friends.

"Miss Alice, you are too much."

"This is nothing, how was your orientation?"

Jasper glanced at me and I looked down to my shoes. Here Alice was trying to make a fresh start, get students to like her new bar and she befriended the schools social pariah.

"Alice, let's just say if you want people to come here then don't let anyone see that this is a place that I hang out at because everyone seems to have decided that they hate me. Maybe that will change but honestly, maybe for the first fews weeks I will come here in the off hours instead of prime hours. That way once people realize how great you are and how great this place is then they won't stop coming once they realize I am here too."

"Ohh Bella, what happened?"

I explained everything but I couldn't put to words what was really making me feel so awful about orientation. Something kept telling me it was the look of absolute hatred and disgust that the man of my dreams gave me when he thought I grabbed his butt. It made me feel dirty, ugly, stupid. And I couldn't shake it. Even if everyone grew to like me, seeing him and his distaste for me will get under my skin every time.

Alice was holding my hand and had a napkin pressed against my cheek. I must have been more obvious then I realized- I don't cry very much.. at least I don't tend to cry over the small things.

"Sorry, I don't know why I am tearing up, thanks for taking care of me. And Jasper, thank you for sticking up for me and my character. You guys are honestly heaven sent. But I am no company to keep, I think I am just going to head home."

"Wait, why don't I close up and Jasper can walk us to my place and then you and I can still have that girls night and watch a sappy girly flick"

"Alright, if you are okay with that."

"Yes! As long as you still help me pick out an outfit for tomorrow!"

"Sure Alice but I need to get a good nights sleep tonight if I am going to be able to face these people again tomorrow so I have to sleep in my own bed". She nodded, slightly disappointed but still smiled at me.

We took another 15 minutes to clean up the place and walked just under a mile to a small bungalow that was cut into a hill overlooking a river. It was such a nice home I was shocked that Alice was living there all by herself, this girl must come from money.

"Alice... if you don't mind me asking, how did you end up with a place like this?"

"Well you already know I was raised by my grandparents? I was estranged from my parents when I was 10. My mom thought I was crazy and put me in an institution and I never saw them again. When I turned 13 my Dad's parents found me and filed a lawsuit to get custody of me and they raised me as their own. I learned that my mother was hospitalized for being a drug addict while I was locked away and in her state of withdrawal she committed suicide.

My Dad apparently felt like he had no control over his life so he moved into the hills of New Hampshire basically as a hermit. He was too ashamed to come back and get me from his parents. He felt like they were always disappointed in him and he let his pride get in the way. He ended up buying the local pup, living in a small room upstairs, then building this home once he had some income.

After the pub was successful, he wrote an apology note to my grandparents for being a disappointment and prayed that I would not also be a disappointment to them. He said that he had done his best for me, honestly believing his wife that I needed help then once he realized that could be a mistake he set out to make my future secure. The note stated that the business was good now and the home was comfortable and that he would get himself out of the way so that his daughter could have the future she almost missed out on."

Alice was standing in the center of the living room, glancing down at the lazy river and had matching tears strolling down her cheeks. Jasper and I stood near to her, listening intently, but were not really expecting that her past was so awful, there were so many questions I had for her.

"About a month after my grandparents got the letter from him, they did not hear anything else although they wrote back that they loved him and were not disappointed just that they missed him. Instead of a reply from my dad, they got a letter from some Trustee saying that upon my fathers untimely death, I was supposed to inherit everything he had by the time I reached my 21st birthday.

Well 21 came for me, and my grandparents laid all of this information on my back and I was so angry that he was trying to buy my love back but wasn't even around now for me to determine if I was willing to let him. So I did what every disobedient child does and enlisted in the military, the air force to be exact. I was looking for thrills but I ended up at a desk job in a town in Massachusetts. I didn't meet the physical requirements to be a pilot.. you need a really strong stomach.. but flying at a certain height ended up making me queazy. So after my contract ended I came back to my grandparents in Georgia and decided I was ready to accept my father's dying gift to me. Ready for a new chapter."

"Darlin' you have been so brave to accept your father's gift to you, this place is a piece of art. He wrote his love for you all over these walls, every small detail, just to make a place suited for someone as amazing as yourself Alice. And I am so happy you are here now, while I am here so that I had to opportunity to meet you. And so that I can do this.." Jasper cupped Alice's cheek, tilted his face and brought it mere centimeters from hers. "May I?"

Alice looked breathless and tearfully nodded.

He placed his mouth against hers gently, and softly kissed her lips then released her cheek. He ran his hands down both of her arms until he gripped her hands. Jasper proceeded to bring her hands to his mouth and kiss along her knuckles then kissed the back of each hand and said "Alice, I just want you to know that I have never felt more at home anywhere in the world then I do where ever I am when I am around you. You keep that angelic face free of tears now and sleep well. I am going to head home and prepare for our big date tomorrow night. Good night ladies"

He did a little bow and a fake tip of the hat as he walked out the door and back into town.

Alice smiled at me. "I am going to marry that man and you are going to be my maid of honor." She closed her eyes and her smile grew brighter. "Before you two graduate from Law School. And indigo blue is the perfect color on you, you are going to look so great as my maid of honor!"

She threw herself at me then, squeaking with sheer joy. Chanting that the man of her dreams was everything she hoped and more.

Then the inquisition started about the man of my dreams...

"What body type do you like?"

"Muscular, tall, not bulky but not thinner than me. Built like a basketball player" I smiled picturing a specific toned body in a charcoal suit.

"What is your favorite feature on a guy?"

I hesitated as flashes of green eyes, bronze hair, and a firm body strobed across my memory. " My favorite feature is a killer smile" Then I looked sadly at Alice when I realized that Hot Eddie never smiled once in my presence, he grimaced, pouted, frowned, and gave me a verbal lashing but never smiled.

"Hey how about that chick flick? What about Hitch?"

"Perfect, I love Will Smith! Good call Alice, do you have any popcorn?"

"Yeah its in the pantry over here".

"Do you have oreos and peanut butter..."

"Yes actually, same place for oreos.. peanut butter is all natural so it's in the fridge..do you know of something amazing that I don't?"

I chuckled evilly as I snagged some butter, sugar, and peanut butter and mixed them in a bowl then zapped it for a minute before Alice could stick the popcorn in the microwave. While the popcorn was popping I crushed up some oreos and placed them in a huge bowl. I mixed in the hot popcorn and tossed the sweet peanut butter mix in at the end with a touch of salt. "Flick Fiasco Mix" was my specialty.

"Before you thank me, you are very welcome, Alice. Let's hope your face doesn't blow up like Hitch's due to my Flick Fiasco Mix, haha let's start the film!"

Hitch came to an end, and I secretly prayed that my love life would have a happy ending like that but who knows, with a law degree I may end up an old maid.

I decided to bid Alice farewell and take the trek home instead of calling a cab. It was just over a mile to my house and it was beautiful here at night, the temperature was hovering at 75 and the town seemed pretty quite.

I was walking down the main stretch of the road when a car slowed down as it passed me, at first I thought the driver had a question for me, but then the car drove away then turned around and started driving in the same direction I was walking. The window rolled down and I could see what looked like Tanya in the driver's seat.

"Hey your the slut from orientation, got kicked to the curb instead of spending the night?"

"Tanya, I don't see why you are assuming the worst about me, I don't even know you."

"Listen Bella, I don't know why Jasper would waste his time on someone that looks like Minnie Mouse and acts like a drunken whore but you should capitalize his attention before you settle down with a kid due to your slutty ways. You will probably get knocked up by a loser of a man and think back on these days, clock is ticking before Jasper sees that he is wasting his time with you." The car turned around again and drove away quickly, but not before I saw Eddie looking through me in the passengers seat.

I shot him a hurt and confused look. I mean, what the hell? I can't believe that she would go out of her way to harass me and I can't believe he would hang out with the butt slapper Tanya! So outrageous.

The wind picked up some and I just sighed and let it help guide me back to my graduate students apartment. The stars had their full effect that night and were blinking down at me wildly. Why did they have to drive by and ruin something so peaceful, it should be sac-religious to mess with summer nights in Dartmouth.

I walked up to my new abode, I was on the second floor so I felt guilty taking the elevator... but I was wasn't in the mood to hunt for the staircase in the building. Then I walked all the way down the corridor to the corner apartment. I lucked out not to have neighbors on at least once side, I put my bed over there so that I could sleep in peace in case the walls were thin. The apartment really wasn't much of a site to see, pretty empty still except for my framed posters of Audry Hepburn, a movie still from Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious, and an Armageddon poster signed by Ben Affleck, yum. I tried to part with these high school and college posters when I was packing to come up here but I decided that I shouldn't cause myself unnecessary homesickness, and just brought them alone.

What I really need to do now, is relax again. I entered the bathroom and started to draw a bubble bath. I let the water raise until it was up over my shoulders and rested my head on the side of the tub. This is so nice. I also could not help but reach my hand down and put some pressure where I needed it most. Ahh, the ultimate stress relief even if a little unprecedented.

I drained the tub some, turned on the removable shower head and started with a pulsing setting and held it low against my core. I sighed as I imagined angry green eyes watching me from across the bathroom. The water messaged me closer and closer to a climax until I switched the setting to a strong constant message and started moving it up and down along my slit and clit. I was imagining that it was hot Eddie's face between my legs and not this shower head until I couldn't take it anymore and cried out in relief. Releasing my hold on the shower head. I sighed again, why is it that I am wishing it really was his tongue and not that shower head that had satisfied me in the bath?

I dunked myself under the water. It's going to be a long three years.
