Chapter 1: We're off

BPOV.

Beep, Beep, Beep

I groaned as I roll over and smack my hand down on my alarm to stop the annoying beeping. I apparently smacked the alarm a little to hard causing it to fly off the bedside table and crash onto the floor taking a glass of water down with it, landing a puddle of water into my shoes.

"Great start to a huge day." I grumbled.

Today is the day that Alice, Rose, and I all set of for our biggest adventure yet. College. Being the Three Musketeers that we are, we have our fair share of adventures. You name it and we have done it. But college…college is going to be our biggest one yet. A new city, a new school, a new and bigger group of people to wrap around our fingers.

At Forks high, we were always the 'it' people. The popular girls, the girls to hang around with if you wanted to be popular. Well in all honesty, Alice and Rosalie were the it girls. I always saw myself as just along for the ride. But oh what a ride it was.

I lay on my back staring at the ceiling still groaning about it only being 5 a.m. and I was forced to be awake.

I was startled out of my mental bitching about the early time by a knock at the bedroom door.

"Bells, you awake yet?" Charlie asked cracking the door open slightly and peering inside.

"Yeah, dad, I'm awake." I answered. "I'm just trying to talk myself into getting out of bed."

"Well you better hurry up. The girls will be here soon and you still have to load your stuff in the truck."

I looked over to the few boxes in the corner that I had to put in the back of my truck. It consisted of mostly my books and very few clothes. Alice made sure that I was well stocked with designer and stylish clothes but I was leaving most of them behind because for one, me and Alice didn't see eye to eye on style. Where she was all about the latest fashion trends I was all about comfort. Alice's goal in life was to change my views on fashion. And two, there was way to many clothes and I just plain didn't know what to take. Alice wouldn't be happy with me when she sees I'm leaving all her choice clothes behind.

"Oh, and Bella," Charlie said ripping me from my daydreaming, "I made us breakfast for your last morning here. So hurry up and come down stairs before it gets cold."

I stared at the door as Charlie disappeared down the stairs. Oh god, Charlie cooked. That's not good. I jumped out of bed and threw on my well worn hip hugger jeans and a plain white t-shirt. I slipped on my shoes, to feel the water that had dumped soak threw my socks.

"Damn it." I groaned as I toed my shoes back off and changed my socks.

After throwing my shoes in the dryer I headed down the stairs to the kitchen to see what kind of a disaster Charlie had made.

Charlie was sitting at the table eating, looking very proud of himself. I sat across from him at the table looking at everything he had made. Apparently he had been awake for awhile. Sitting on the table there was eggs, bacon, sausage, has browns, and pancakes.

"Wow, this looks good dad." I smiled.

I filled a plate with a little bit of everything. I was a little nervous about eating it since Charlie was a horrible cook. I had taken over the cooking after I broke a tooth on a hamburger he made and then he had a grease fire set with the same hamburgers.

"Thanks. I don't really know if it's all edible but I wanted to do something nice for you." Charlie openly admitted that he was a horrible cook and stepped aside for me to take over after he had to pay to have my tooth fixed on his hamburger that I nicknamed "Charlie's world infamous rock burgers."

"Well, it smells good." It did actually smell good, which gave me a little bit of hope on the taste.

I stared at the plate wondering where to start. I picked up a piece of bacon and took a bite. It was so over cooked that it splintered in my mouth like a piece of glass when I bit down. The sausage was the complete opposite, it was still frozen in the middle. I quickly gave up on the meat.

I took a bite of the pancake to find that there were clunks of dry batter that wasn't mixed in very well. I ate the rest of the pancake while drinking all of my milk and juice to get the pancake down.

Just as I was finishing up breakfast and rinsing off my dishes there was a knock at the door, followed by Alice and Rosalie bouncing into the kitchen. "Who's ready for college?" They were chanting.

"Morning girls." Charlie said from the table. "You guys hungry? There's plenty of food."

Rose and Alice eyed the food on the table then glanced towards me. I shook my head slightly.

"No thanks, Charlie. Our parents made us a big send off breakfast." Alice answered.

"That's just as well." Charlie said, while standing to clean off his plate. "It wasn't very good. I should just stick to cooking with the microwave. I cant believe you ate it all Bells."

"It was good, dad." I lied.

"You are the worlds worst liar." He snorted.

"We have a long drive ahead of us. Are you ready to go Bella?" Rose asked.

"I just have to put my stuff in the truck."

Rose and Alice followed me up to my room to help me carry my stuff down to the truck. As soon as I saw Alice's displeased facial expression I realized I should have loaded my truck before they got here.

"Bella, what the hell is this?" She asked pointing to my boxes in the corner.

"My stuff."

"There is three god damn boxes. And two of them are filled with books." She screeched, riffling threw the boxes.

Rose sat on the bed stifling a laugh as we watched Alice rip threw my closet stuffing the boxes with more clothes. I watched her and ignore her mumbling rant about how a person could live on bare essentials and my need for extensive fashion lessons.

Once the boxes were filled, not to Alice's complete satisfaction, but before the boxes could rip apart in protest we took the boxes down and loaded them in the back of my truck with all of Rosalie and Alice's stuff.

I went in the house to retrieve my shoes from the dryer and said my goodbyes to Charlie, with the promise that I would call once we got there and a call frequently after that.

Alice and Rose were standing by Rosalie's BMW waiting for me, by the looks of it impatiently.

"Finally ready?" Alice asked.

"Definitely ready." I answered.

"Good then lets go." Rose cheered. "There are college hunks waiting for us." And with that we were off.

EPOV

I was just finishing up packing my last bag when Emmett came barreling threw the door into my bedroom, causing me to just about jump out my skin.

"Aww. Did I scare you Eddie boy?" Emmett laughed.

"Yes you asshole. Ever heard of knocking?"

Emmett seemed to think about it for a second. "Nope. Are you almost ready? I wanna get going."

"Yeah. I was just zipping up my last bag. Where is Jazz? He ready?" I asked as I picked up my last bag to take down to the car.

"Last I saw him he was ogling himself in front of the mirror." Emmett snorted.

I grabbed up my last bag and headed for the stairs to head for the car. Passing by the bathroom I stopped to see Jasper fixing his hair in the mirror, just as Emmett had said.

"You look pretty enough, now lets go."

"Not everybody can roll out of bed with that perfect hair you think you have. If I don't tame these curls they go crazy. I cant get this one to sit right." Jasper said while rubbing some sort of hair crap into the unruly curl that just kept popping back out of place.

I rolled my eyes at him. "Your such a girl, Jasperella."

"Whatever Dickward."

"Chick fight later." Emmet said. "I want to fuckin go already!"

"None of you are going anywhere until you have eaten breakfast." Esme said, making us all jump at her sudden appearance. "And watch the language guys. I will kick ass if need be."

We all laughed and followed her down the stairs and into the kitchen. Carlisle was already seated at the table eating the big breakfast Esme had made.

"Morning guy. You all ready to leave?" Carlisle asked as we took our seats.

"You know it." Emmett said as he over filled a plate.

We all made small talk about our departure back to college. We had all started our freshman year in Seattle last year. Once we set foot on campus it was just like high school, we quickly became the most popular. Guys flocked to us because Jasper seemed to have a talent into talking people into selling him alcohol. And if he couldn't then Emmett could scare them into it with his size.

Girls flocked to us even more. Women were attracted to Emmett's huge size, he has been compared to a teddy bear , which we like to make fun of him for as often as possible. As much as we make fun of Jasper's hair, women love it. As for me, women say that they can get lost in my eyes. There green, that's all I see. And they say they cant get enough of my hair. I don't get that either. It's a fucking mess and I don't care nearly as much as Jasper does to try and tame it.

I noticed Esme out of the corner of my eye watching Emmett with a disgusted face.

"I hope you choke, Emmett." She said suddenly.

"Esme!" Carlisle laughed.

"Well geeze…look at him!"

We all looked at Emmett who was shoveling his food into his mouth so damn fast I was surprised that he didn't choke. We all laughed that he seemed to be oblivious to the stares he was getting for his apparent hurry to finish eating and leave.

"What?" Emmett finally asked.

"Are you in that big of a hurry to get away your father and me?" Esme asked.

"Of course not, mom." He said around a mouthful of food. "I'm just excited to get to school."

"Uh huh." Esme huffed. She didn't look convinced at all.

After we finished breakfast, we headed outside to load all of our stuff into the car. We loaded everything into the back of Emmett's jeep. I was following behind them in my most prized possession…my Volvo.

We went in said goodbye to our parents then headed back out to our cars to hit the road.

"Lets go!" Emmett yelled climbing into the driver seat of his jeep. "We got college hottie's waiting for us!" And with that, we were off.
