A/N: Sorry about the confusion in the first chapter… They are all in their junior year at Kingston. Thanks to momma2three for pointing that out! Here's the next chapter:
As soon as we arrived at Kingston Prep, Emmett and Edward led us to the main office. We were assigned condo number 43. That's another thing about Kingston which I loved. There were no dorms, just neighborhoods of condos.
"Hey! You guys are right next to us! Man, this is going to be sweet!" Emmett bellowed, receiving glares from the secretary behind the desk.
I bit my lip, trying to hide my smile from showing. All four of us shuffled back to the jeep to find our condo.
As soon as we arrived, my jaw dropped. Rose, Alice, and I were sharing one amazing condo. It was a two story work of art, with a white balcony of the second floor.
"Oh! Look how cute it is! Bella this is going to be so much fun!" Alice cried, giving me a hug. Emmett and Edward grabbed our bags from the car as Alice and I pranced to the front door.
I took out my newly acquired key and slide it in the brass lock. Alice and I rushed in, and my jaw dropped once more.
Okay, I must be dreaming, I thought. This looks like a fairy tale!
Inside, we entered into a cozy living room. Pushed against the far wall was a tan couch, covering the entire wall. On the opposite wall was a monster tv.
"No far!" Emmett cried. "You're tv is bigger than ours is!" Emmett pouted, only to receive a smack of the back of his head by Edward. I shot Edward a thankful smile.
During our car ride, we discovered that Emmett, Edward, and Jasper were all bunking together as well. They had the condo to our right, less than 10 meters away.
"I wonder what the bedrooms are like!" Alice said. At the same time, Alice and I looked at each other. We both dashed for the stairs, trying to beat each other up. I think I would have won too, if it wasn't for my darn clumsiness.
"Ah!" I cried, my foot catching on the thick rug. My knees buckled instantly and then I crashed to the floor. I closed my eyes, swearing silently.
"It looks like I'm going to have the hospital on speed dial," Edward chuckled, picking me up bridal style. I groaned, not because of his comment, but because Alice didn't stop for me. She was going to get the better room.
I jumped down from Edwards arms not so gracefully, and started trudging up the stairs. Edward and Emmett followed, bringing our bags with us. I saw Alice in one room, and shook my head as I saw the size of her closet.
Figures, I thought to myself. Only Alice would be able to find a closet bigger than her last one.
I turned on my heels, backing up into the hallway once again. I opened the closest door, only to reveal Rose's things scattered around the room. Her room was similar to Alice's, but her room was facing the boy's condo.
The next door I came to creaked as I opened it. I peeked in to find a room similar to the other two. It was slightly smaller, but I didn't mind much. I gasped and let my jaw drop as I peered at the far side of my room.
It had two French doors, lined with silky white drapes. I walked through the room and stepped through the doors, to find myself on the balcony I had seen from the car. I looked up, and I smiled again. Right in front of our condo, behind a row of pine trees, was the mountain.
Okay, I know I have the best room. A balcony and this view?! This has to be a dream.
I heard footsteps and whipped around to see Edward leaning casually against the doors. "Nice view." He said, my cheeks turning red.
"Yeah, the mountain looks beautiful." I sighed, realizing how perfect this year could be. He nodded, but his eyes never left mine. After a moment of awkward silence, I brushed by him to start unpacking.
I heaved my navy blue suitcase on the queen sized bed, unzipping my suitcase to reveal my wrinkled clothing.
"So are you getting hungry?" Edward asked as I started to refold my clothed and put them away neatly in the dresser.
"A little. The airplane food wasn't exactly the greatest." I replied, turning to face him. "Do you know any good restaurants around here? I could kill for some pizza."
"I think I know a place." Edward smiled, winking at me. I blushed for the millionth time since I met him just over an hour ago. Get a grip Bella! You aren't one of those girls who throw yourself at guys. And you only just met Edward!
"You guys up for some pizza?" Edward asked Alice and Emmett, who were walking into the room.
"Heck yeah!" Emmett hollered, raising his hand to give Edward a high five. "Man, I could sure use some food after dragging those heavy bags. Man, how many clothes does a person need?" He whined, receiving a glare from Alice.
"Speaking of which," Alice said, turning to me, "I called the shipping company and my bags aren't going to be here until next week!" She hissed. I winced, knowing what was coming. "We're just going to have
to go shopping so I can get by this week! But don't worry. Our skiing equipment has already arrived, so we'll be all set if we want to take a few runs before school starts."
Emmett's smile faltered as Alice turned to glare at him. "And since I know how much you like carrying clothes, you can come with us to carry our bags!" Alice squealed, Emmett groaned, and Edward and I just shook our heads, rolling our eyes.
Suddenly, I felt my pocket vibrate. I reached inside and pulled out my silver phone. I flipped it open and read my new text message. It read, "It's rose. Come outside!" Alice peered over my shoulder, before hearing a car rolling into the driveway. Alice and I shrieked, and ran down the stairs (me, not so gracefully).
"ROSE!" Alice and I yelled, rushing over to her car. I was so excited, missing my best friend even though she had only been gone two days.
"Alice! Bella! I missed you guys so much!" Rose cried, embracing us both with a tight hug.
"Nice to see you again, Bella. Nice to meet you Alice, I've heard a lot about you." Jasper said to us, before going into the back seat to grab something. His eyes seemed to linger on Alice for a brief moment, short enough for me to wonder if I had just imagined it.
Edward and Emmett emerged from the house, coming over to meet Rose. Emmett's eyes seemed to grow larger at the sight of the blonde beauty, and Rose's breath hitched when she saw Emmett, who could easily pass for a body builder. "Rosalie, this is Emmett and Edward," I said, motioning over to the guys.
"Nice to meet you Rosalie," Edward said, shaking her hand and walking over to talk to Jasper.
"Ni - nice to meet you as, as well, Rosalie," Emmett said, his words stuttering out. Rose blushed and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ears.
"Please, call me Rose," Rose blushed, fidgeting with her hands. Alice observed quietly, smirking as she saw Emmett and Rose together.
I loudly cleared my throat, trying to break Rose and Emmett's intense stare. "Well, I know you and Jasper just ate, but the four of us were just heading out for some pizza. You can come with us if you want…" I offered to Rose, nodding over to Jasper.
"Aww I missed you guys too much to refuse!" Rose said, giving us another hug.
"Come on guys!" Emmett whined again. "I think I can hear my stomach grumbling." Emmett said, rubbing his stomach.
"Well lets its time for the beasts next feeding…" Edward grumbled, shuffling back over to us from the car. I sighed, missing my truck already. Our cars were coming next month from Washington, so I guess the guys were going to be our chauffeurs for the next few weeks. On second thought, that didn't sound too bad…
"I don't know about you guys, but I don't want to be stuck in the far back seats." Edward said, shrugging his shoulders. "Bella, how about you and I take my car?" Motioning over to the grey Volvo Jasper and Rose had just came back in. I blushed again as Rose and Alice smirked.
"Sure, that would be okay. I'll meet you guys at- wait… where are we going?" I asked, turning back to Edward.
"Just the local pizza joint, it's right off campus and has the best pizza, hands down." Edward smiled crookedly, making my insides flop over.
"I'll guess I'll see you guys there," I said, waving goodbye to Rose, Alice, Emmett and Jasper. I hopped in the car, Edward holding the door open for me. He is such a gentleman, I thought as Edward hopped into the driver's seat, turning the car on.
"Let's go!" Edward smiled at me before turning the car in reverse. Breathe, Bella, breathe.
Read and Review! I already have the next chapter almost finished, so it might just come out sooner if some reviews come in! :
