CHAPTER 1........ The
move
My alarm clock starting to ring,
giving me such a fright.. aggh 6am please
please i seriously need more sleep. Today was
the day i step out into the big bad world... in the form of uni.
I've
spent the past 4 years in Folks with my dad and in some ways i
couldn't wait to leave here,
I mean, Don't get me wrong Folks
was... what's the word.... nice... yes that's the word,
Pretty,
green and ummmm wet. but finally it's time for me to leave home and
get my ass into uni.
Lucky for my dad charlie uni was only in
seattle, So although i decided to move into the uni dorms i was still
pretty much close enough to check on charlie now and then.. Charlie
was pretty useless on his own, cooking... well... you just wouldn't
trust him with such a task.
Well miss swan
lets get your ass in gear, i thought to
myself with a sleepy sigh.
I headed straight to the shower, i
seriously needed to wake up, its a good thing i packed all my stuff
this past week, but still, i needed enough time to wake up and get my
moving head on.
The shower is exactly what i needed, a cool shower
hitting my skin sent shivers down my spine, i washed my hair with my
favourite shampoo, Strawberry smell mmmmmm
for some reason it smells so fresh and yummy.
After the shower i
dried and got on my comfy old jeans, so old they have holes in the
knees, and my red vest top, its pretty cold out but all the moving
will leave me hot and sweaty so a vest top would be the best idea.
Now to my hair... long brunette hair with curls, yes its wild and
takes a lot to tame it so best bet is just to tie it in a messy
ponytail.
Heading down stairs it was as i left it last night,
which means Charlie is still sleeping,
Pulling a frying pan from
the rack and a mixing bowl from the cupboard "
mmm pancakes will go down nicely right about now"
Once
mixing the pancake mix i set to work cooking up some luscious
pancakes,
i started to wonder what uni will be like, what kinda
people will be there, will i make friends easy enough?
My friend
angela and mike and jessica are going which will take the edge of
worrying about not knowing a single person, Also ben and Tyler
started uni the year before So i'm sure they will fill us in on the
gossip and the do's and don'ts.
7.30am and there was the sound of
line coming down the stairs,
"Morning kiddo, sleep well"
said dad as he shuffled in behind the kitchen table.
"Yea
dad, Wasn't to bad of a sleep, kinda woke early though"
"Excited
huh?"
"Yup you got it dad" yea
more nervous more then anything I thought to
myself.
Charlie stuck into the pancakes, He looked like he hadn't
eaten in god knows how long.
"So Bells, what's the
plan?"
"Well, Dad i'm hopping that soon as you're ready
we would make a move, all the stuff i'm taking is packed up and ready
to go, I wanna get there as soon as... You know... settle in and what
not"
With a satisfied sigh Charlie patted his tummy "Okay,
Sounds good to me, I'm done eating. So let me go sort out the truck
Billy loaned me.
After 20 minutes of double checking i had
everything we set out to put it all in the truck,
It actually
didn't take long at all, i didn't have as much as i thought i
had.
Sitting in the front of the truck i was set to go, i felt my
tummy churn with fear no doubt.
"god i
hope angela is there before me, and i hope we are sharing a room"
i thought to myself
Angela was such a
lovely girl, she was pretty quite, and never had a bad thing to say
or think about anyone, you couldn't help but adore her. Jessica on
the other hand was a completely different story,
She loved to
gossip, nothing gets past this chick, if something's going on Jessica
knows who did it and where they did it. She hates most girls, i guess
she feels that they are a threat of some kind, boy she was in for a
big shock when she gets to uni.. there really wasn't to much
competition in folks, it wasn't the biggest of schools, so beats me
in how she's going to cope in a uni that has more people in one
building then there is in the whole of folks.
So 2 hours later,
here i am.. standing in front of my new home, There was a hell of a
lot of kids going in and out it was crazy.
Getting all my stuff
out of the truck i had my dorm door number and directions on how to
get there,
"Come on then baby, lets get you to your room"
Charlie said with his arms full with luggage.
"Ok, Dad lets
get going" Walking towards the main entrance, Taking a left down
the corridor then up 3 flights of stairs. This
shit is gonna kill me. i thought after we hit
the last few steps
Taking a right down a corridor with a long row
of doors all the way down the hall on either side.
Room 221 was my
room and i was so thankful to have found it, it felt like my arms was
about to drop of.
Walking through the door i walked into meet my
new room mates.
"BELLLLLLLAAAAA"
Was the first thing i heard before i could actually see who was
calling my name. I looked up to see Angela charging towards me open
armed.
"angela ... OH MY GOD ANGELA" i through
everything to the ground and through myself at angela. YES
YES YES thank the lord i'm sharing with Angela
i said in my mind.
"Oh bella i'm sooo glad we are roomies, i
was so scared i wouldn't know anyone i was sharing with, and and the
other girl we are sharing with seems very nice too"
wait,
the other girl?? what.??? i thought it was just two to a room
I thought.
"Oh we are sharing?" i said
" yes,
her name is Alice and she's right through here." Angela held my
hand to lead me to one of the rooms leading of the little living
room/study area.
"Wait kiddo, i think its time for me to head
off" Dad said, Damn i almost forgot about
Charlie standing in the door way look very uncomfortable.
"Oh,
yea, Sure dad, I'm gonna miss you big time old man, Thanks for
helping me with all this stuff"
"Ah its no trouble
bells, i will miss you too, you make sure you call me as often as you
can you hear me? come give you're old man a hug" dad held his
arms out, he looked like he was about to break out in to hysterical
tears. Walking over to Charlie i wrapped my arms around his waist "Ah
man, i'm gonna miss him, as annoying as he is, he always done good by
me.
After waving goodbye to Charlie i turned back around to follow Angela through a a door leading off to a single room, In the room stood a Alice, She was a few inches shorter then myself with short dark brown hair spiky... she almost look Pixie like, Alice was paled skin with the most unusual eyes i've seen, They was almost honey gold colour, there was something about her that made her look so beautiful it took my breath away.
Alice turned around as soon as she heard us enter the room, "Oh, Hi" she almost sounded as if she sang the words "I'm Alice, Alice Cullen" she skipped forward she could have easy passed as a ballerina, Beautiful.
"Hi, Alice, I'm Bella, You're new room mate" i said with a smile
"Well, it's great to meet you Bella, I see you have met Angela? She's so adorable.."
"Oh, Yep.. we actually know each other" i said with a chuckle "we live in the same town and went to the same high school" i finished with a look at Angela, she looked as if she was ready to take of she was so excited.
After a few minutes of getting to know each other, i found out Alice was here with her adoptive siblings,
All i could figure was that Emmet and Rosalie Was a year above us and totally in love it took a bit for it to sink in that they was not actually related and Emmet actually joined the family very soon after meeting Rosalie, Alice told me about Jasper, her knight and shinning prince, I could tell she was all loved up by the way she swayed and lovingly sighed as she spoke of him, She then got to her Youngest of brother Edward, he was in our year also, She said he was a smart ass know it all, But she secretly favoured Edward over Emmet, something to do with Emmet being as big as a house and didn't know his own strength and how it got annoying being thrown around like a rag doll. Hmmm sounds like a interesting family i thought as we walked out of Alice room.
Angela let me pick which room i wanted as she didn't mind which she got, so i picked which one i wanted and started to gather my stuff.
"So guys, what you say, Once you settled into you're room we go down stairs and go exploring, this place is massive and i'm hoping to find Jasper to see how his settling in" said alice
"Yea, sounds good alice, It shouldn't take me to long to unpack a few things, Give me 2 ticks"
i rushed into my room, i was actually feeling a little excited now i was finally here, and exploring seemed like fun,
I managed to unpack a handful of clothes, and a lot of my books which i stacked onto the book shelf
"Ah this will do, unpacking is just as bad as packing, it can wait till later" i mumbled to myself.
"Ok lets get going" said alice, as she almost flew yet danced out of the door. Damn this girl was eager i thought rolling my eyes
Angela was right behind me, chatting happily about how her timetable will be set up and what kind of committees she could join.
Once we got down to the entrance hall we headed out of the main doors and took a right to head around to the back of the school where there was a grass area with tables and benches.
As soon as we got around there Alice started jumping on the spot pointing towards a big tree a little further down the green pitch, "There's Jasper, oh i'm glad i found him now rather then hunting for god knows how long, oh and look there's Edward with him too.... come on girlies let me introduce you"
