READ ON!! 3

We ran down the hall and into the bathroom with all of our make-up things. We were applying our lip-gloss when my snoopy mother pushed the door open and started taking pictures. Count on a mother to use any chance she can to take pictures of you on the night of your prom!! Ashley and I exchanged looks and dropped our lip-gloss to start pushing my stupid mother out of the door. My boyfriend was going to be here any minute and I wasn't even ready!! Ashley and I had gotten twin dates! They were gorgeous and we both looked great with them, and plus if we got married to them we would be sister-in-laws! We locked the door and picked up where we had left off. We couldn't wait until the guys got there! Our dresses were short which really worried Charlie because he didn't really know my boyfriend very much even though we had dated for almost a year now. He was really afraid but I didn't worry about that.

Was that the doorbell? I heard my mother on the move so I shoved the door open right when she was walking up to it and I sort of kind of hit her... really hard. I looked at her and she was still standing just a little stunned so I ran for the stairs. I beat her down to the bottom floor with Ashley right on my heels, my 2-inch heels. Yes I could manage to run down stairs in 2-inch heels, barely. I had practiced a little when nobody was around because I was one of the biggest klutzes ever! I would walk up and down the stairs and then I would go faster, knowing I would probably run down them if I were upstairs when the guys came. I yanked the door open to see two smiling twin faces. They were wearing fancy tuxes with corsages in their hands. I went straight for Jacob and kissed him lightly on the lips, bad idea!! Charlie was standing right at the doorway. I would get a good talk when I got home but he wouldn't ruin my big night at the beginning of it. I yelled goodbye to my mom who was just now coming down the stairs but she managed a good flash from her camera and Charlie was able to yell out, "Take care of my Bella." How embarrassing! But I didn't really care because Jacob was hugging me and walking me down the stairs to the car.

James and Ashley were doing the same and we exchanged smiles, this was going to be the best night of our lives! It was going to be one of my last nights with Jacob unfortunately. He was going off to college early because he wanted to get ahead in his grades. He was kind of a nerd but he was my nerd! I loved him so much but all good things must come to an end unless he asked me to marry him tonight, which was doubted. I loved his car so much. It was an Escalade and it was huge. He let me sit in the front with him and let James and Ashley stay in the back. He turned on the radio to our favorite radio and I'm Only Me When I'm With You by Taylor Swift was playing!! This was perfect! I was the happiest girl on Earth right now.

We arrived at the school at about 8:30, right on time. I knew it was kind of weird to be the first people there but I was so excited I didn't really care. We walked in and there were more people there than I thought there would be. About thirty minutes later almost all of the rest of the people came. We danced, got pictures taken, and ate. It was as amazing as I thought it would be. Ashley was having fun, too. I danced with all of my friends but at each slow song Jacob and I met at the same spot and started dancing. He was a really good dancer. This year he had been voted Most Likely To Be On Dancing With The Stars. We had talked so much that night. At the end of it when I was tucked in my bed I realized how sad it was. We had danced and had fun like it was just another party at school. We had been so happy and not one person had asked where we were thinking about going to college. The last few weeks seemed so sad. Everyone was talking about college and the teachers were always saying things like, "A college student doesn't act this way" and "This will be better explained soon when you go to college". It was really sad but that night we weren't sad. Even though Allan was moving away from Ohio to go to school at Duke University. He was going to be a physical therapist.

I realized that nothing was going to be the same after all of this. We weren't going to see each other until the high school reunion. It was the worst thing ever! I was afraid to live on my own and not be able to rely on somebody. I would be relying on myself. This wasn't going to be easy. I was going to go to a college in Washington and I would be so far away from Arizona. I was so scared I couldn't handle it! I knew I would never love anybody more than I loved Jacob. I didn't sleep that night. I couldn't sleep!! I was going to never see the people I practically lived with again. And the next time I did see them it wouldn't be the same because things would have changed. I couldn't live with it but somehow the day I was going to Washington I said goodbye and got on the plane with Charlie. My parents were divorced and Charlie had been in town because it was my big night and he wanted to be there.

When we were in the plane it was really awkward. My dad was great but he didn't really talk that much. He was pretty shy and didn't talk to anybody that much. I usually didn't mind because we would just be on the phone and he would ask me what I had been doing and I would tell him and then he would tell me he loved me and say goodbye. He was always reading and for Christmas asked for math and engineering books. It was really weird. I had taken a magazine and my iPod but I mainly just slept. It was really boring. The lady with the snack cart came by and I told her I wanted a Pepsi, which was a bad idea because I drank the whole thing and then couldn't go to sleep even if I wanted to. I hated plane rides with my dad. If I were with my mom she would get me to take my yearbook and try to find guys I would look good with but that was before Jacob. I already missed him. I had been away from him for about a week. I had cried for days after he had left, it broke my life. He was the only guy that I really liked and had stayed in a long-term relationship with.

The plane landed and I grabbed my stuff super fast and ran for the exit with Charlie trying to keep up. I wanted to get to my dorm room and get away from Charlie. I still had my iPod on and Love Story came on and I stopped dead in my tracks in the hallway getting off of the plane. Charlie was far behind me so I turned off my iPod and pretended like I stopped to wait for him. I fought back tears but I felt one fall and turned abruptly to wipe it off of my cheek. After that I didn't let myself think because I knew that it would make Charlie feel even more awkward if I was crying because he wouldn't know what to do. The next thing I knew I was in his car with the stupid police decal on the side of the car and the siren on top. He tried saying things sometimes but it came out in mumbles and I pretended not to even hear it. He hadn't turned on the radio and it started bugging me so I grabbed my iPod and dared to turn it on even though I knew Love Story was on. I switched it to Body Bag quickly so I wouldn't think about whom I wished I could be with at every moment.

My idea of listening to my iPod quickly failed because the next song on was Fall For You then Tee Shirt then, I will Always Love You and I finally turned off my iPod at the beginning of Secret Valentine. All of the songs I got after I met Jacob were about love and stuff like that which really didn't help my situation. Just then I remembered my cell phone, which I had in my pocket. I grabbed it and it was still on because I didn't bother to turn it off when they told me to on the flight. I still hadn't gotten a text from Jacob, which broke my heart. I almost looked at my pictures until I remembered that all of my pictures were of him. I shoved my cell phone back in my pocket and looked up to see that we had been in the driveway of Charlie's house for a few minutes because he was taking his stuff out of the car and on his way to the house. I wondered why he had come to the house instead of my college.

When Charlie came back he opened the door to the car for me and I started to climb out and then bounced back like a boomerang then realized my seatbelt was still on. I finally was able to get out of the car without boomeranging back to my seat. "I brought you here so we could get your things into your new car" he pointed to a rusty, old, badly painted, Ford truck... that I absolutely loved! It was amazing! I had been saving up for my own car and so I was surprised that Charlie had already gotten me my own car!!! And it was FREE!!! I couldn't wait to get in! Charlie said some other things but I wasn't paying attention to him!!! I started to run for the door of the car when Charlie gave me an attention-wanting cough. I turned and he nodded toward the bags. I went back sulking but decided that it wouldn't matter if I just threw the bags into the car (because I had nothing valuable). I jumped into the car in the front seat and Charlie gave me the keys.

Unfortunately he sat in the passenger seat but I decided that I might as well let him sit there, I mean he gave me a car! I could let him have a little something!! I drove out of the driveway and down the street. I had the heater on full blast and was rocking out to my favorite radio station. We pulled up at my new dorm room parking area. I hopped out and put my light jacket on (it was the best I could find in Arizona and the jacket that Charlie bought me as a present was huge and looked like a giant marshmallow). I could take all of my bags in one trip because I didn't have much in Arizona that I would wear here. Charlie took some of the stuff from the back to where I was holding one bag (I told you I didn't pack much).

We walked into the main office/lobby area. The lady at the front desk greeted us with a warm smile and started explaining where things were. She finally shut up and handed me the key, "Here you go. Thankfully you packed light, it looked like your roommate was taking her whole house!" oh no, I hated a cramped space but I would manage, I mean I'd barely ever even be in my room! I thanked her and let out a little giggle for her and Charlie's sake before running down the hallway to room 101 (even I'd be able to remember that) and opened the door to see a small girl in the process of unpacking millions of outfits. "OMG! You must be my new roommate!! I'm Angela", the small girl said with a huge smile.

Charlie left so I could unpack. Angela talked, a lot. I didn't mind that since I was pretty shy. I would just nod my head every so often and pretend like I was listening. I let her look at my schedule and her let out a little squeal when she read the ones that we had together. I didn't really mind her but I wasn't really the preppy type. I was working on unpacking all of my clothes when she said, "Oh my gosh why didn't I think of this before!! You should so be like my first customer!!! I'm going to start giving makeovers to people and you should be the first one I give one to! So what do ya' say?" Was I supposed to even think about saying no? She probably had seen my old clothes with short sleeves and probably my bland black hair which had made her think to give me a makeover so I just said okay hoping she didn't hear the regret in my voice. This was going to be a long first day…
