Start of freshman year
Samantha's POV
I looked across the grassy field and gaped at the girl talking to a tan boy next to a bench. Could that really be her? Pale skin, gorgeous hair, undeniably beautiful. It had to be her. And here she was, at my new college. What has it been, 5 years?
I started to speed walk across the field. She used to be my best friend. The only person in the world I trusted. Her whole family had loved me, but they always seemed nervous and jittery, too. When I needed her most, after everything I had done for her, she just got up and moved without saying goodbye. I stopped 20 feet behind her, just making sure it has her. It had to be. I shook my head and smiled. "Nessie," I gasped.
Her head whipped around and she starred at me, her face confused and puzzled. Then her eyes focused and she realized who I was. How did she hear me from over here? Her face then turned to shock and she looked up at the boy, and he shrugged. She then looked back at me, a huge smile covering her face and relief showing in her eyes.
"Samantha!" She yelped as she dropped her backpack and gracefully walked over to me. I smiled and hugged her.
"Oh, my god! It is so great to see you again, how have you been? Last time I saw you we were 13, it seems like so long ago! Where have you been? Why are you here? And why did you leave all those years ago? And who's this? Oh, and how are Alice and everyone? Alice was so nice, her and Bella, oh and Edward! And your parents, Esme and Carlisle, how are they? Are you going here? What dorm are you in?" I rambled, as she stood overwhelmed by my questions.
"Wow, it's a … great to see you, too! I am going here, this is Jacob, my boyfriend. He is just dropping me off, along with his friend Seth who's going here also. My family is great, and what other questions were there?" she asked sheepishly. Jacob stood there, staring at her with admiring eyes. Man, did he have it bad!
I realized she didn't answer the question about why she left. I can ask her that later.
"Sorry for all the questions, I was just really hyper for a second. Oh, what dorm are you in?" I replied calmly.
"This one," she said motioning behind her. I smiled again.
"That's mine, too, what room number are you?" I asked.
She pulled out a paper from her bag and read from it "Room…324!"
"Oh my gosh, we're roommates!" I gasped. She looked shocked.
"Wow, that's great! I was so nervous about meeting new people, this is going to be an interesting year," she said enthusiastically. I think it sounded a little fake – even nervous.
She had one thing right, though. It will be one interesting year.
Nessie's POV
I can't believe it was Samantha. I had missed her so much; she was such a great friend. Or was. A chill went up my spine as I realized I had ditched her, she probably hated me. Jacob nudged me, and I quickly grabbed his hand, sending my thoughts to him.
I had begged my parents, Bella and Edward, to let me go to school for just a little while, instead of being home schooled. I would grow so fast it would be dangerous to let anyone see me, let alone meet me, but I wanted to just get the experience in before I grew to look like I was 17, the age I would stop growing…forever. They finally gave in and let me go to school. I said Bella and Edward were my siblings, and that I was just adopted like everyone else. They went to the high school, while I attended the middle school. I made only one friend. Samantha. People resented me since they thought I was weird, and she stood up for me, probably to many times then I deserved. She trusted me and was funny and kind, but I was still changing to quickly. People started to notice, and we had to leave. I never got to even say goodbye.
And here she was. And she was my roommate. Great.
Maybe it won't be that bad. She could forgive me, we could become friends. Or not. Only time will tell.
