Bella's P.O.V.

I turned the key and opened the door with a gentle push. The dorm was empty. I knew it would be only a matter of moments before my roommates would arrive, so at full speed I unpacked the four bags I brought with me, and pulled out my newest copy of Wuthering Heights. Yes, it's my newest copy, but it was still fraying at the edges. Suddenly I heard footsteps approaching the dorm. It seemed like my roommate's whole family had come to send her off.

"Reina! Prisa!" A motherly voice said.

'Not good. She's probably bilingual.' I thought to myself as the door opened.

But, I did know more than enough Spanish to know that prisa meant hurry. A girl with black hair, green eyes, and tan skin came through the door.

"Hi! I'm Reina Kanavos. This is mi mama and my dad." She paused, "and, my little sister Lena." Her introductions were in a heavy Greek accent.

I was confused, because she spoke Spanish but was clearly Greek. I stood up anyway, to introduce myself.

"Hi. I'm Isabella Cullen. Call me Bella though." I said politely, holding my hand out. Reina shook it.

"You came here all by yourself? Where are your parents?" Lena asked. I smiled, though Charlie died three years ago, and I had no idea of what was going on Renee at the moment.

"No. I came here with my two sisters and two brothers." I said. Great, now I had to pretend my husband was my brother.

"Oh. I would love to meet them Bella!" Reina said. I could easily tell that Reina was a very outgoing person.

"Trust me. You will, when Alice drags us shopping to redo the dorm this weekend."

Then suddenly, and very randomly, Lena, who appeared to be about thirteen, blurted out "Bella, you're pretty!" If I could have

"Well. It's great to know that you two are getting along but, we really do have to go." Reina's mom said. Turning to me she said, "We have to catch a train to New York, but it was truly nice meeting you Isabella."

"Bella." I corrected her.

"Bella. Maybe you can come visit with Reina over the holidays." She said, and I noticed that Reina's father must be Greek. But, he hadn't said a word.

"Thank you for the offer, Mrs. Kanavos." I said, as she gave me a hug.

"Reina…" Mrs. Kanavos started, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I'll give you guys some space." I muttered, going into the second room. I sat down on an office chair and looked around. That's when I noticed that the desks are in one room and the beds in the other. I could hear my roommate's emotional goodbyes through the wall. It sounded like Mr. and Mrs. Kanavos were crying, Lena was exploring the room, and Reina was trying to comfort her parents, and I could hear her voice crack. To pass the moments I started thinking about Edward, when the door opened on the other side, and as the Kanavos family walked out.

"I'm so sorry about that. My parents tend to get all emotional when they think about their "little Greek Spanish princess" going off to college." Reina gushed, snapping me out of my daydream.

"It's okay. It's no problem." I said.

"I wonder where our other roommate is…" Reina said.

"I don't know…" I said. Just then my cell phone rang, Alice. "One second." I told Reina, answering the phone.

"Bella! These dorms…. Esme and I have a lot of work to do!" Alice yelled. I could help but grimace.

"And, your roommate…" she started, but was interrupted by a squeal. "Sorry, Bella! Got to go!" and then there was a click. The line had gone dead.

"Sorry. That was my sister Alice. She thinks the dorms are a bit… under-decorated." I said with a sigh.

"I can see where she's coming from. They're so bland… no color." Reina said.

"No color." I repeated, my mind still thinking about Edward.

"We totally have to pledge together."

"Come again?" I said, snapping out of my thoughts. Did this girl want us to join a cult or something?

"You know, pledge to a sorority? It would be so fun. I'll have to gather flyers tomorrow when I go get breakfast." She said, her eyes having a look that showed she was planning our immediate future.

"Sure. Pledge, sorority, flyers, rushes. Got it."

"Who are you thinking about?" Reina asked me.

"I'll tell you when I know you better." I said with a smirk. Just then, the door to the dorm on the other side opened. Catching me by surprise. "Hi, I'm Naomi." She said, and Reina and I walked out of the second room. I observed the girl in half a second. She was tall with black hair and caramel skin. Almost coffee with cream in it. But it was her eyes that caught my sight. My breath got hitched in my throat. It couldn't be… she couldn't be. Those eyes. Those topaz/ honey eyes.
