Chapter 1 Bpov.

Ouch.

I could say that again

Ouch.

I pealed my eyes open and pushed myself up against the wall. It was fairly light in my dorm room, even thought the only light was streaming through the window.

Hmmm, must be sunny out.

I looked around my room and discovered the reason my head felt like it weighed 10 tons. Empty beer bottles, and lots of them too.

I pulled back the covers that were too warm and too heavy on my body and tried to stretch my limbs without moving my head much.

I looked down at myself, I was wearing an oversized white t-shirt and underwear. Rose must has changed me sometime after I passed out.

God, I love that woman.

She'd probably kill me if I slept in my skinnies, again...

I stared around the room for a while remembering the events of last nights drinking with Em, Rose and Jazz. At some point Em had challenged me and we pulled out the vodka shots. I couldn't remember much after my tenth. From my hangover I'm guessing I won.

I smiled at the memories and dragged my arse out of bed and into my bathroom. Once the shower was on and steaming hot I stripped down and stepped in. I stood under the spray for a few minutes and let the head spread through my body and relax my muscles.

Once I felt slightly more human again I grabbed my lynx shower gel and scrubbed myself clean, shaved all the necessaries and washed my hair with my favourite herbal essences shampoo. I turned the shower off and wrapped myself in a soft white towel before brushing my teeth and combing my fingers through my hair.

I left the bathroom and headed over to my draws to grab some clean underwear and a t-shirt to change into.

Once dressed I stumbled over to the fridge were I found a note pinned down with a magnet.

We stole some of your smoothy- sorry bout that but Emmett wouldn't stop complaining :')

You can thank me later for changing you, and from stopping jazz throwing up in your shower.

Love you loads kid, come round later?

Rose and Em 3

I smiled at the note, I really, really couldn't live without my friends.

I opened the fridge door and grabbed the now half empty pint of smoothy I had ready for this exact moment. It was the best hangover remedy I knew and it really worked! It didn't taste half bad either.

After about 10 minutes my head felt back to normal and I was pretty awake considering I hadn't had any coffee yet. So I set about tidying the room, I grabbed a bin liner and threw all the empty glass bottles in, I would take them down to the re-cycling bin bank later. I scrubbed the bathroom and sorted out my laundry. When all of that was done it was just coming up to 11 so I figured Em would be online.

I switched the T.V on and grabbed an Xbox pad and head-set. When I finally got online Em shouted, loud. I jumped the T.V remote to turn the volume down and save my ears.

"Morning Emmie-bear" I said in a sing-song voice and laughed when he returned my greeting in the same tone.

"You ready for a beasting Bell's?" he asked.

"Sure thing" I scoffed "you know I ripped you last time, I hope you've been getting your practice in, it's no fun when there's no competition" I teased.

"Oh please, bring it little girl"

Here's the thing with me and Emmett, we're both incredibly competitive and can't stand losing.

After a few match's I saw Matilda moving around in her den. I jumped up off the sofa and walked towards her. Matilda had been my room-mate and pet for the last 2 years. She was an 8 year old, 10ft python. (That's a snake if anyone was wondering) I had always loved snakes and spiders so when Em and Jazz got her for me as a sort of 'dorm warming gift' I just had to keep her.

I approached her slowly and held my hand out in front of me to show I wasn't a threat. When she didn't react I slowly picked her up and draped her across my shoulders. She wrapped herself around my waist and the back on one of my legs. She tasted the air with her tongue , probably catching the sent of last nights pizza and then settled down. I walked over to the kitchen counter and chose an apple before carrying on playing Call of Duty with Em. We talked, sung and I laughed when I heard Rose telling Em off for waking her up.

It was 2o'clock when there was a knock at my door

EPOV

My alarm woke me up early, 6o'clock to be precise. I rolled out of bed and growled at the beeping piece of crap. Whoever invented alarm clocks should have been shot before they started mass production. I hissed as my bear feet hit the cold laminate flooring and stumbled out into the hallway. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes before locating the bathroom in my sleepy haze and showered.

I wrapped a towel around my waist and stuck my head out of the door, on the look out for Tanya. There was no sight of her so I darted across to the spare room.

I had been sleeping here for the last 2 weeks now as I had come over from Alaska where I had lived in my parents' house for the last 18 years of my life. I had come to stay with my aunt and uncle for a few weeks in Manchester, England before heading off to Oxford University a few hours away.

I had been here before in the summers and I enjoyed spending time with my uncle and aunt, and one of their adopted daughters, Kate, but her sister, Tanya, Tanya was... very, euhhh, how can I put it. Tanya had always been very up close and personal with me, she clearly doesn't understand personal boundaries and had always liked me a little too much.

Once I was dressed I jogged downstairs and was hit by the smell of pancakes.

My stomach growled right on queue as I entered the kitchen and Esme laughed before handing me a plate of pancakes stacked one on top of the other. I grinned and lent down to peck her on the cheek as I passed.

I helped myself to nutella and spread some on the first pancake, I took a large bite and moaned

God, Esme can cook.

I carried on eating and there was a comfortable silence.

I stiffened automatically when I felt a finger being dragged across my shoulder blades.

"Good morning Eddie" came a nasal voice right behind my ear.

"Tanya" I greeted with a nod of my head, hoping my lack of response would deter her. It didn't.

"Did you have a nice sleep?"She asked in a voice I'm sure she thought sounded sexy, it just made me cringe internally.

I glanced up at Esme,

Save me! Please!

She just bit her lip to stop a laugh escaping; it wasn't exactly an unknown fact that Tanya was interested in me. I sighed, giving up.

"Yes, it was very pleasant thank you Tanya"

"I'm glad" she almost purred, it made me gag on the bite of pancake I had in my mouth.

Thankfully, Carlisle chose that moment to save me by walking in and greeting everyone. It would have been rude to carry on a personal conversation with two other people in the room and I put myself forward for a group conversation right away.

"Good morning Carlisle" I spoke up. He grinned and clapped me on the back.

"Looking forward to university Edward?" he inquired.

"A little nervous" I admitted.

"I'm sure you'll do fine dear" Esme offered with a small smile.

I was driving my sliver Volvo down the motorway. We had been on the road for about four hours now and we would soon be arriving at the campus.

When had said I was nervous, well that was an understatement. I kept fidgeting in my seat, reaching out to play with the radio and drumming my fingers against the steering wheel.

Carlisle sighed from beside me, he had come along to help me carry my things up to my dorm and then he had to take off. I shouldn't complain, I knew he was only trying to help but I really needed to do this on my own and I didn't see the point in him sitting in a car for four and a half hours just to carry my things with me to my dorm room and then sit on a train for two hours to get back home.

I had to be thankful about one thing though, that he had not allowed Tanya to come with us, she had been practically hysterical when I told her it was time for me to leave. She had begged and begged for Carlisle to let her come and I had mentally pleaded for her not to. He is obviously a mind reader because he said no until she stomped her foot, yes stomped her foot, screamed and stomped up the stairs before slamming her bedroom door.

We took our chance and escaped.

It was too late to turn back now though. We were here.

I pulled into the car-park and anxiously looked around, the place was packed with kids my age, pulling luggage out of there cars, hugging there crying parents goodbye, greeting others and glancing around much like I was now.

Holy crap, I'm attending Oxford University.

I found a space and parked the Volvo up, took a deep breath and turned the engine off.

This is it. I can do this. I can do this. I can do this...

I pulled the keys out of the ignition, stepped out and dug my hands deep into my pockets. When my fingers came into contact with a piece of crumpled paper I let out a heavy sigh, I didn't need to look at it. I had memorised my dorm room number and future room mate's name.

I was in block C- room 169 and my room-mate was Miss. I swan.

I still couldn't believe they had put me in with a girl, I didn't even think they could do that. It would be a new experience though, apart from the few weeks every summer I spent with my aunt and uncle, I had never lived with a girl.

I trailed around the back of the Volvo and grabbed as much luggage as I could, Carlisle got the rest and I closed and locked the boot.

"You ready?" Carlisle asked, breaking the silence that had fallen over us.

I merely swallowed and nodded my head yes.

We followed the flow of students to where some tables and lists had been set out for us to sign by our names.

As I stood in line I saw a lanky blond with shaggy hair the fell in his eyes watching everyone. His eyes darted from one face to another as if processing everyone. When his eyes flickered to mine he raised an eyebrow and nodded once when I held his gaze. I nodded back, glad to know I had passed my seeming first test. I signed by my name and motioned for Carlisle to follow me. I had to stop and ask for directions to block C once and was glad when I found I was headed to roughly the right place.

"What room are you in?" Carlisle asked.

"169" I replied automatically

"You're in room 169?" a voice came from behind me

I looked over my shoulder and saw the lanky blond from outside. He was looking at me questioningly and I nodded, again. His face was emotionless.

"Down there," He pointed. "Take your first left and then another left... good luck" he tagged on the end before swiftly turning and walked in the opposite direction.

That was... weird.

I followed his directions and found myself outside room 169. Someone was shouting inside and I could hear banging and... Gunshots?

A video game?

Carlisle came to a stop next too me and raised his eyebrows.

"I'll leave you to it then," he said as he placed my bags next to the door. "Do come and stay with us when you can, Edward. You know you are more than welcome"

I thanked him and he pulled me into a hug.

"Good luck" he whispered, and then he disappeared down the corridor.

This is it. I can do this. I can do this. I can do this.

I raised my fist. KNOCK. KNOCK. KNOCK.

So, that's the first chapter! Hope you liked it! Thank you for reading and please, please, please review! It would mean a lot to me! :D
