Yay! You guys liked it! I already love this story, and I'm hoping it will have a good turnout. But we before we get to far ahead of ourselves, I'm just going to give you guys chapter 2 :)
Disclaimer: I don't own Edward, Bella, Emmett, Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, Carlisle, or Esme. Dang it! I don't even own Jacob!!
Previously: So here I was, sitting on the plane, crying my eyes out as I flew over my old town, and soon later, my eyelids got heavy, and I drifted into a deep sleep.
Bella's POV
I awoke to the flight attendant's annoying high pitched voice over the intercom. "Alrighty passengers! We are now landing this flight! Please buckle your seatbelts and turn your cell-phones off as we prepare for landing. Thank you for flying Jet Blue! Have a nice day." Uhhhh. I groaned out loud. Just what I needed. Waking up to the sound of some flight attendant's annoying voice telling me I had just arrived at my own personal hell.
Why did I decide to come here? Oh, that's right, Jacob. I wished I hadn't thought about that, although when I did, I was almost grateful for being here. Almost.
I did what the flight attendant had asked, and I sat there wondering what this was going to be like. Maybe it wouldn't be half bad. I could make it however I wanted, so I decided to make this fun.
I was determined to make this good. I was completely starting over.
I would do my best to forget all about the life I was leaving behind. Or try to anyway… I would try things I had never done. And I would make a lot of awesome friends.
I practically scoffed at myself when I realized what I'd been saying.
Try things I'd never done… like what? Make a lot of awesome friends… yeah that one had a good chance of happening I thought to myself sarcastically. The one thing I knew I would do is forget about my past. Although, I knew it wouldn't be easy.
I exited the plane and found my only suitcase. I rented a cab, and then remembered about my truck. I didn't want it and I wasn't planning on keeping it, so I texted my old friend Quil that I met from Jake, telling him to take it. Quil was one of Jakes nicest friends. Him and Seth were the only two besides Jake I would ever really talk to. I liked Embry too, but he didn't talk to me as much.
Seth wasn't old enough to drive though, so it only seemed fair Quil would get it. He was happy to get a free truck, even if it could only reach 60 mph, and I was happy to get it off my hands.
I took a cab to the Academy, and walked right towards the building that had said Front Office on it. The women at the front desk, Ms. McLean, signed me in, given me a dorm number, a dorm key, a map of campus, and my schedule, telling me to come talk to her if I had any problems, although I could tell she didn't mean it.
Nervously, I walked towards building 4, where my dorm was. I walked up to number 118, but I didn't have to knock, because the door was wide open, revealing a small pixie like girl jumping up and down on her bed, wearing black soffe shorts, and a black "be be" tank top. She was really getting into the music, dancing and singing to "Womanizer" the new Britney Spears song, totally oblivious of me, since her eyes were shut tight, obviously imagining a different scene.
I noticed the free bed. It had no sheets on it, and looked pretty boring. Infact, mostly the whole side of my room looked bare. I decided not to interrupt my roommate's fun, silently laughing to myself how she still didn't notice me. I quickly grabbed a toothbrush and a hairbrush and a new change of clothes.
I headed for the bathroom, and quickly took a shower. I was sure to keep the water cold, so that I wouldn't be tempted to stay in for too long, although after the long, sad flight, even the cold water felt good.
Finally I hopped out of the shower, ran the brush threw my hair a few times, and brushed my teeth. I threw on the jeans, and Holister Co. T-Shirt and headed back into my room.
My roommate, who ever she was, sure had a lot of energy… she was still dancing on her bed like a maniac, completely unaware of her surroundings. The only thing that had changed was the song, which was now playing "Keeps getting better" by Christina Aguilera. It looked like a lot of fun, although I was sure I would just manage to fall right off the bad, flat on my face. I then wrote a short letter to my roommate, not wanting to ruin her fun. It said
Dear roommate,
My name is Bella Swan. I am new here, and am apparently sharing a room with you! Sorry for not introducing myself in person, but you looked like you were having far too much fun. I am going shopping to get some things to make my boring side of the room more fun. Be back later tonight…
I walked out the door after grabbing my wallet and a sweatshirt, the only one I had, and walked toward the front gate, calling a Taxi on the way.
That was one advantage of being so close to the city. Having a nice form of transportation. And, I wouldn't have to pay to much for it, since all the shops you could dream of were right in the city.
I must have gone to a gazillion stores, only looking for fun things to spice up the room. The problem was, in the city, all of the shops were specialty, so If I went to look for a cute lamp, I had to go into a lighting store, not just a department store where I could find everything I needed. God, how I longed for a Wal-Mart.
I finished after hours of shopping. I had ended up buying purple /blue striped sheets that I noticed my roommate had ones much like it in pink and orange. I also got a plain puffy comforter to go on top. (A/N: Bella and Alice's sheets are in profile, along with the puffy comforters, and the lamps.) I was never one for fashion, but I knew enough to say that the white wouldn't make the stripes too bold.
I also bought two cute bedside lamps. One was a light purple and matched my sheets, and the other was pink and would go to my roommate.
I bought a bunch of cute little things that I wanted, or thought would be useful at somepoint, but even after a day this long, did not get a single article of clothing. I noticed this that night when I had gotten home.
My roommate wasn't there. She was probably out partying somewhere, since most kids our age were out on a Friday night. But nope, not me. By the time I was home, I was completely tired out. I couldn't even make my bed with the fresh new sheets I had gotten. But that was when I remembered clothes. I pulled out my last set of clothes , which happened to be pajama's out of my bag. I didn't even have to worry about that now, because the second my head hit the pillow, I was out cold.
Alright, so Bella has seen her roommate, but doesn't actually know her. She found what her roommate was doing was really funny and didn't want to ruin it. We of course, all know that her roommate is Alice. Besides that, this is mostly filler. I needed to show Bella shopping since she came with close to nothing, and tomorrow she go to get some new clothes.
I realize this chapter wasn't the most interesting, but I needed it there, so please review!
(Btw, I'm really proud of myself. I have begun, and updated this story, updted my other story, and I wrote an authors note for my other sotry. That's three chapters and one authors not in one day! I am so proud :) More tomorrow probably… Thank you Columbus Day weekend!
Love,
Christine
