I own none of these characters. or the books and i am not Stephanie Meyer. I hope that you guys enjoy the story, and here is another summary!

This story is about Bella and what happens when she goes to college. Will her past catch up to her, and what will happen when she meets the Ice Hockey Captain, and one of the most sought after males in all of McMaster University? But is he who everyone says he is, "The Big Man On Campus!"; or is he one of the kindest, smartest, and one of the most shy guys she has ever met. Everyone here is human.

I just reached the top floor after my talk with the counselor. I was staying in Edwards Hall, and was sharing a room with one Alice Cullen and one Rosalie Cullen. I did not remember much of my talk with the counselor, only that I would not have to pay a penny to live on campus, or be a student here at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada. I was here on full ride thanks to my track and field/ cross country record. At Forks High in forks Washington I had been the top cross country runner, as well as one of the best sprinters. I was excited to have finally been accepted to a college that was far far away from home, and my father.

My body gave an involuntary shudder at the thought. I really have to stop thinking about that. I told myself as I unlocked the door to my dorm and gently eased it open. Inside it was rather spacious. The bed to the immediate right had red silk sheets, while the bed directly across from the door had black silk sheets. The bed to the immediate right had nothing but a pillow, and a set of sheets ready to be laid out. This bed seemed to be propped up on the dresser, while the other two beds sat on the ground. There were three desks, all lining the wall that had the door. There were also two other dressers as well as three wardrobes.

I looked through the dresser underneath my bed to make sure it was empty. After noting that it was, and also finding the wardrobe and desk that were mine, I started unpacking what little things I had. I had a total of three suitcases, all very small. After unpacking all of my clothes, I noticed that it they didn't even fill up half of the dresser. I had a nicer towel and linens, and I put those in my wardrobe. I put my sheets on the bed, they were fleece. I started to get hot, so I took off the white sweater from Old Navy that I had gotten a couple days before I left.

As I started rolling up my sleeves, I heard a murmur outside the door, and looked in that direction. After I heard a click, the handle slowly turned. In my haste of pulling down the sleeves of my maroon shirt, I hit one of my many bruises, and winced in pain as the two girls turned to stare at me. Please don't let them have seen my bruises. I thought to myself I don't need any questions here like I had at school back home.

Rosalie and I had just returned from a date with our boyfriends. Edward, my brother, was also there, but he is single. I slid my key in the door as Rosalie talked about the movie that we had just seen. When I entered the room, I saw a flurry of movement and turned towards the bed that had been unoccupied for the last couple of weeks. We were told that our new roommate, Isabella Swan, was to be moving in today. When my eyes fell upon the other girl in our room, she had been pulling down the sleeves of her shirt, and winced, like she was in pain.

"Are you alright?" I asked in genuine concern. Her facial expression quickly changed from the one of pain to that of neutrality. It was almost like she was scared to get close to anyone.

"Yes. Of course I am fine. Why wouldn't I be?" she asked trying to disguise the pain in her voice, but as a psychology major, I could tell easily that she was hiding something.

"Ok…" I said, trying to not react to the way she was acting. "Well, I am Alice, and this," I said pointing to Rose, "this is Rosalie."

"Please call me Rose!" Rose added giving me a glare.

"I am Isabella, but please call me Bella." She said looking away from us starting to play with the hem of the sleeve of her shirt.

"Well Bella," I said genuinely, "it is nice to finally meet our new roommate. We were wondering though, why did it take you so long to get here? Freshman orientation was last week."

"Oh, well I got held up. There wasn't anything I could do. I called the school, and they said it was fine. Plus, I am from Washington, so I had to get a flight out here, and I couldn't get a flight out in time." She said turning to her bed and brushing out imaginary wrinkles.

"Ok. Well welcome to McMaster University. I truly hope that you will enjoy your time here." I looked at her. She was wearing a pair of dark blue Mid-Rise Boot-Cut jeans, a maroon Roxy Sophia T-shirt Long-Sleeve, black flip flops, and had a white Toggle Sweater Hoodie lying over the back of her chair. I could tell by just looking at her that all these clothes were from the clearance rack at Old Navy. She also had a black hand-bag lying on her desk. The only thing on her person that looked expensive was the Etoile heart pendant that hung around her neck. I knew that it was from Tiffanies, and her earrings looked somewhat expensive.

"So," Bella said looking somewhat apprehensive about what ever she was about to say, "Um… so you two are sisters?" she asked shyly.

"Ha!" Rose laughed. "We are sister-in-laws. We are not birth sisters. I am married to Emmet. He is Alice's brother, along with Edward…" before Rose could continue, Bella burst out laughing. As she started to calm down, Rose asked, "What's so funny?"

"Sorry, its not you. I just think that its kind of funny how you two are somehow related to a guy named Edward, and you are living in Edward Hall." As she talked, I noticed that she put a slight distaste to the word guy. I was going to have to watch her around guys. There was definitely something off about this girl.

"Did we hear someone say our beloved Edwards name?" I heard two snotty little bitches ask from our door way. By now Rose and I were sitting on Roses bed across from Bella. "Oh… who is this?" Amber asked menacingly.

"I… I am…"

"This is Bella Swan from Washington; now get out of our room before I force you out!" Rose said threateningly.

Rose had just stood up for me. Why would anyone stand up for me? I don't deserve it; I am just a piece of trash! I thought to myself while looking between the two girls that stood in the door way and Rose and Alice who were sitting on Rose's bed.

"Fine!" said the girl who had reddish hair.

"Just stay away from our man. You are not to touch a single hair on his head!" said the other girl who had dirty blonde hair. After glaring at each one of us in turn the two girls left the room, and slammed the door shut.

"Sorry about them!" Alice said looking apologetic. "They seem to think they rule this building. That was Amber and Ashley. Amber had the dirty blonde hair and Ashley had the reddish colored hair. We aren't really sure what color her hair is supposed to be. She has died her hair so many times that it has finally stopped changing whenever she dies her hair. We think it's rather funny."

"Oh… um... It's ok. Thank you. You didn't have to stick up for me like that." I said nervously. I looked away from the two girls sitting across from me, and again started to smooth out the imaginary wrinkles in my sheets.

"Don't worry about it!" Rose said trying to talk as sweetly as possible. "We don't like them anyways. and don't listen to what they said about Edward. He is a really great guy. He hasn't dated in a while, and they keep trying to get in his pants just because he is rich, and is the captain of the hockey team. Edward has lead this team to more victories than any of us can ever remember this team having. The school is very grateful to have him on board."

"And I am sure that they are very grateful to have you on board too. From what Edward has heard from the coach of the cross country and track and field team, he said that the 'new girl'" Alice air quoted the words 'new girl', "was supposed to be one of the best things to happen to this school. Well, we hope you don't mind, but we took the liberty of snooping." 'And hacking…' Rose added trying to cover it up with a cough. "Bella you record is amazing. We could not believe what we read about you. We truly hope that you will bring home the trophy this year. It has been in the hands of Carleton University for the last couple of years. We hope that you will bring us some good luck."

I blushed at the praise that they were giving me. Why were they being so nice to me? I didn't deserve any of this kindness.

That night, I fell as I tried to fall asleep, my mind would not let me. Every time I closed my eyes I would remember what had happened to me the night I left for college. I didn't know if I was going to be able to run properly for the next couple of weeks. I was going to have to get back on the track and just start running to get my body to work properly.
