Thanks to potterisbest for reviewing! I'm going to try to update as much as possible now that I finally know what direction I want to steer this story. And a special thanks to MaryLynn aka Invisable2others222 for originally owning this story.
There was a school sponsored welcome back ceremony that night. It was optional so I wasn't sure whether I really wanted to go or not. I mean, it was basically a place where people who had problems making friends went. I didn't want to be classified like that. Upperclassmen weren't going to be there so maybe it would be okay to. As much as I didn't want to admit it, older classmates were a little intimidating. Well, besides Alice and Jasper.
"Hey are you going to that thing tonight?" I asked Edward. He was barefoot on his bed. He was wearing glasses and looked interested in what he was reading.
"Yeah. Emmett and I were going to go. Do you want to come with us?" He asked. My eyebrows shot up in surprise out of habit. I blushed. To walk into a room with two guys as attractive as Emmett and Edward was definitely going to get attention. But maybe I did want girls coming up to and talking to me as if I was normal. It would be refreshing after what happened last year.
"Yeah. I'll tag along." I said. Things had been fairly normal for the past two days. Classes hadn't started yet but the dorm situation was fine. Edward and I had come to a living routine. It somehow felt like we were meant to live with each other.
We interacted well, and helped each other study. Neither of us had anything better to do. I hadn't seen Alice, Jasper, or Emmett for the past two days either. I went back to reading about U.S. History so deeply, I barely noticed Emmett bursting into our room.
He gave me a once over and said, "You do not look right, Bells."
I rolled my eyes and grabbed a nice shirt and skirt from my closet. "Give me a minute."
I went to the bathroom and changed. A minute later I was ready. Emmett looked confused.
"Damn. When you say a minute you mean it. To Rose, a minute means like an hour." He said.
"Who's Rose?" I asked.
"My girlfriend. Unfortunately she goes to RPI in New York." He said. That school was one step below an Ivy.
Edward walked towards us. "Stop bragging about how Rose is smart. Let's go."
A bunch of freshman were pouring out the dorms and heading towards the Student Center. I saw some friendly faces and wondered what it would be like if I talked to them. There was a large crowd blocking our way to the entrance so I turned to Edward to talk when a girl appeared and introduced herself.
"Hi! I'm Jessica." She said. Emmett chuckled an smirked. He walked away. I stared at his figure, and scowled.
"Hello Jessica. I'm Bella and this is Edward. We're roommates." I said.
Her eyes were evidently ogling Edward. I internally snickered. Girls like her were going to get their heart ripped out. We finally made our way into the building and I was bored by how much it turned out to be like a high school dance. I expected something a bit less casual. Jessica stayed on me like a leech the entire night. She pestered me with questions about Edward and kept asking me to hint that he should ask her out.
I was really annoyed. It was all very childish. People were supposed to come to college to learn and not act like a lovesick puppy. I ditched her as soon as I could and walked back to the dorm. I walked into a hot shower and by the time I got out, Edward was there.
"You left early." He commented.
"Yeah well, I don't think I could have handled any more of Jessica. I think she likes you." I told him.
He frowned. "I could tell. But the fact she was just wants to go through a bunch of hook ups, doesn't appeal to me."
I frowned. "How did you find that out?"
"Her roommate, Angela warned me. She's nice. You two should talk. They live three rooms down from us." Edward said.
I shrugged, a little bothered Edward was making more friends than I was. I got into bed and fell asleep.
Thanks for reading and remember to review!
