Chapter 2:
BPOV
When Alice, Emmett and I finally arrived at the room Alice and I shared I was exhausted. I hadn't quite realized the extent of my nerves about finding people to hang out with until I had already gotten it over with.
"There you are Bella." Emmett said as he walked out of what was to be my room. "I just dumped all your bags on the bed. Alice did you put sheets on it already?" he finished with a laugh.
"Thanks Emmett. And yeah I did put did sheets on Bella's bed. I accidentally went a little overboard when I was getting stuff for me and I figured if I was to go into my roommate's room I didn't want to have to look at something hideous so I just put them on there" She explained the whole thing like it made perfect sense and it did, right up until I actually thought about it.
"Wait so before you met me you decorated my dorm?" I asked trying to look mad.
Alice ran up to me and wrapped her short arms around my waist.
"I'm sorry Bella! I didn't even think! I can go take them off right now!" And with that she was off before I even had a chance to tell her I was joking.
"Be careful with that one, she can get a little overboard with the décor." Emmett joked. "I should know. You should see where she and Edward live! She wouldn't even let her parents decorate, she insisted on doing it all herself" He left, closing the door behind him with a laugh.
Alice came sprinting out of my room with the sheets in her arms. I laughed at the sight because her small size made it look like she was carrying enough blankets to spend a winter night outside.
"Which bag did you pack your sheets in Bella?" She said chucking the ones she was holding at me. I just threw them back.
"Alice I was only kidding. I would love it if you decorated my room with whatever leftover stuff you have. Just not too much pastel or pink alright?" She nodded enthusiastically and grabbed the sheets from me and went running.
The next hour I spent looking at all the things she had already put in our living area. There was a television, a mini fridge and a full size one in the kitchen. There were pictures and carpets and even flowers everywhere, and my personal favorite part, a bright red couch right in the center of it all.
I also watched Alice run between my room and hers, and every time I would ask what she was doing she said "Just a few last touches Bella, I will be out of your room in just a minute." Of course the third time she said that I realized I wasn't getting into my room anytime soon. I went into the bathroom to see what she had done in there, and was stunned. She had thought of everything red to put in a bathroom and stuck it in. The wall behind the mirror was even painted!!! While I had no idea if that was really allowed or not I figured there was no way to get rid of it now and enjoyed it.
"BELLA!!!" She screamed from somewhere behind me.
I must have jumped about five feet in the air from my position in front of the mirror, playing with my hair and wondering what we would have to do in classes.
"ALICE!!!" I screamed back and went to go find her. She was jumping on the couch and pointing excitedly at my door.
"It's beautiful Bella!! It is more perfect even then MY room!" She was so impatient for me to see my room that she actually got down off the couch and pushed me to the door.
"Alright Alice I'm going I'm going" I chuckled. Upon opening my door though I realized that she wasn't kidding. It was perfect for me! I had only known this girl for one day and she had decorated my room to my exact tastes.
On one wall there was red fabric hanging in place of wallpaper or paint, leaving the other 3 walls white. I was quickly learning that this little pixie like red. There was a white rug off the one side of the bed which she quickly explained I should move if that wasn't the side of the bed I stepped out on because it would be warmer than the wood floor in the morning. The curtains were also red, but sheer and let light in even closed. The bedspread was mostly white with big red dots and circles on it everywhere, and red sheets with white and red pillows. The nightstand was white with a red old-fashioned alarm clock and a white vase full of fake red daisies. The white desk had a cute little red chair in front of it and a stuffed red bear and reading lamp on one corner.
As soon as I had taken it all in I turned back to Alice and hugged her.
"Alice this really is perfect!!! However," I walked past her and opened her door. It was
almost the same except the red in my room was purple in hers and the white was pink.
"Yes, mine is definitely better." I laughed. I couldn't believe she had actually bought two identical sets of dorm room stuff in two different color sets.
"So Bella," Alice said, running into her room and flying onto her bed. She flipped over to be sitting down and started bouncing while she looked at me.
"So Alice," I mocked her, pulling out her purple chair and sitting down.
"Do you have any other friends here yet?" Her eyes shone with excitement.
"Well since I just got here today and you monopolized all my time I would say no," I laughed. "So it looks like you will have to find someone else to get friends from."
She looked more closely at me. "Good. So you can tell me just what you think of my family without any side stories about some other people. Well technically my brother, my friend and my boyfriend but that's beside the point."
I looked at her to realize that she was waiting expectantly for me to start some sort of evaluation on the people she cared about. So realizing there was no way out of it I took a deep breath and started.
"Edward is your brother right?" She nodded. "Well he seems nice. The way Rose described him he sounded like a complete jerk. But yeah…" I trailed off before I could get into too much detail on just how 'nice' I thought he was. "Emmett is great," I started with a laugh. "He reminds me of the big brother I never had actually. I think he and I will get along great. What's his major anyway?"
"Well, his major is photography but I think his real talent lies in performing. He loves to have all eyes on him and to make people laugh no matter what it takes but he also loves to take pictures. Actually all the pictures I hung around in our rooms and out there were ones he took." I was completely taken aback. Those pictures looked professional! He would be the best I had ever seen by graduation.
When I told this to Alice she laughed and agreed.
"And Jasper seems really cool actually, a little too quiet since he is so funny but that is almost better or him and Emmett together would just be insane." I finished with a laugh. Then looking at Alice she was grinning ear to ear. "What?" I asked suddenly self-conscious, that is until I saw she was looking over my head at someone who had walked in the door.
"Edward!" She shrieked and ran into him at full speed, knocking him into the door.
"Down Alice," He chuckled quietly. "I was just coming to make sure you weren't torturing poor unsuspecting Bella here." He glanced my way and back down at Alice's short spiky hair.
"Don't worry Eddie all I've done to her so far is decorate her room and she loves it. Don't you Bells?"
"Actually yeah, it's better than I could've done that's for sure."
"Firstly don't call me Eddie. You know how much I hate that Alice." Then he turned his breath taking face to me. "You let Alice loose on your room? I must say that I hold myself to blame. I should have warned you." He joked.
"No need to worry Eddie," I teased him. He just grimaced at the name. "I gave her some guidelines."
"Should I ask what they were?"
"Well, they were basically not to go too overboard, and not too much pink and pastel colors." I grinned proudly.
"I just have to see this, I gave her the same rules to decorate my room, and while it is a great room, it isn't exactly my taste." I watched as he opened my door.
"Alice, why does this girl's room look so much like mine, but red and white instead of black and gold with only a few minor adjustments?" he looked at her with a questioning eyebrow.
"Well when I was buying stuff I wasn't sure which color combination I liked best…" she trailed off and gave him a pout that made puppies look vicious.
He strolled into her room and sat down on the floor. "Alice, you have really surpassed yourself this time."
She stomped in. "why are you even here Eddie? You are supposed to be rooming with Emmett and Jasper."
"Well," he started nervously. "They kicked me out."
With that Alice and I couldn't take it anymore. We were both on the ground laughing.
A/N: I wasn't really sure if this chapter worked out like it did in my head. Reviews and alerts make me post!
