Once again, not my characters. Please review. Also, check out my other story "This is My Life."

I climbed into my ancient truck and plowed over the ice to Edward's. My truck was massive and a great thing for me. It handled the snow and ice that was the centerpiece of Fork's winter. I loved it. Edward hated it. Once I pulled into Edward's driveway, I had to compose myself before going it. I didn't want to open the envelopes. It was too daunting. They, hopefully, held my future. I wanted to know if I had been accepted, but I was too afraid that I would read that these schools didn't want me. One of them was one of my top choices, the University of Washington.

As I took of my seatbelt, I heard my car door open. I looked up. There was Edward, standing next to me. "I thought you would stay in your truck all day. So, I decided that I needed to come and get you." I gathered all of my things together, and then walked hand in hand into the house with Edward. "I thought I was coming over to your house later. What brings you all the way over here?"

Of course. Edward would want to bring up why I decided to come visit him within the first minute. Mutely, I held out the envelopes from the colleges. His eyes widen and then got a huge smile on his face. "University of Washington. Dartmouth. New York University. You got your responses all ready? That is awesome! We need to celebrate."

"I haven't opened them yet, Edward. I wanted to open them up with you," I informed him. "Have you received any responses yet?"
"I got a response from University of Washington, but was going to wait until I went over to see you before opening it. I guess we were thinking alike."

Edward pulled me towards the living room and had me sit down on the couch. He ran into the kitchen. I heard some Edward talking to someone, though I couldn't quite tell whom it was from where I was sitting. A few minutes later, Edward came back into the living room with an envelope. "Mom and Alice say they want to know our responses as soon as we know."

I chuckled. "You go first…I'm too nervous to go first."

Edward smiled at me. He looked down at the envelope he placed on the coffee table, and then picked it up. He took a deep breath, and then tore it opened. I fidgeted in my seat, waiting for him to tell me if he got in or not. "I'm in! I got in." I laughed and threw myself at him. Edward leaned down and kissed me on the mouth.

"Congrats, Edward," I said once we had stopped kissing. "That is awesome! I'm so excited for you! Are you going to go there?"

"That depends. Open up your envelopes."

I wanted to do the University of Washington last. So, I picked up the Dartmouth envelope, started at it for a second, and then slowly opened it. I quickly read through the letter, and then handed it to Edward. I hadn't gotten in. My SAT score wasn't high enough. I picked up the New York University envelope, and then I started to sequel. Edward laughed at my reaction and kissed me. "Congratulations, love." I leaned against him.

He handed me my University of Washington envelope. I sighed. Since Edward got accepted, I really wanted to be accepted as well so we would be able to go to the same college if we wanted. I opened the envelope carefully. I decided to play a little trick on him. So, sadly I handed the envelope to him. Edward looked at me. "It's okay. I still haven't heard back from New York University yet. There is a good change that I'll be accepted there." He looked down at the paper I handed him. "AWESOME!" He picked me up and twirled me around the room, laughing.

We were making so much noise that Esme and Alice ran in from the kitchen and Carlisle ran down the stairs, from his office. "Did you get in? What happened? You HAVE to tell me," Alice yelled bouncing next to us. "Why aren't you two talking? Edward! You promised you and Bella would let Mom and I know. Talk!"
"Alice, will you calm down?" Carlisle asked. "I'm sure if you stop bombarding them with questions, they'll tell you their news."

Esme quietly sat down on the couch. Carlisle joined her, pulling Alice down with him. Alice was still vibrating with excitement, almost making the couch move with her. "I got accepted into University of Washington and Bella was accepted to New York University, as well as the University of Washington," Edward told his family. I was standing with my back in front of him, and he has his arms wrapped around my waist.

Alice bounced off of the couch and threw herself at Edward and I. She had her legs around our waists and was hanging on to our shoulders for dear life. "That is so amazing! Jasper and I applied to Washington too! Wouldn't it be awesome to all go to the same college?"

Carlisle and Esme pried Alice off of us and gave us hugs. "Where ever you guys decide to go, we'll be behind you."

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Alice bend down and pick up my acceptance letter from University of Washington that Edward dropped when he started twirling me and she started reading it. I shrugged and turned my head to ask Esme and Carlisle a question. "Isabella Marie Swan!" Alice yelped. We all turned to face her. "Why didn't you mention that you had full ride scholarship to UW? Don't you think that is an important piece of information?"
"WHAT?" I screamed. I snatched the paper out of her hand and quickly read it. "I only read that I was accepted." I started jumping up and down, imitating Alice. "Edward! I have a full ride! I wouldn't have to pay for anything!"

Edward gave me a huge hug. This day couldn't get any better.

On my way home from Edward's house, I stopped at the grocery store. I wanted to celebrate. I knew if I told Emmett and Charlie before dinner, they would want to take me out. But I wanted to make Pad Thai. I knew most people didn't usually make their own Thai food, but I loved to. On the drive to the grocery store, I called Emmett and told him I had news and he was coming to dinner. He could tell Rose about my news later.

I picked up all the ingredients I need, as well as some things I knew that our house needed. When I got back to the house, Charlie was still at work and Emmett, I assumed, was still with Rose. I unpacked all the groceries, cleaned the kitchen and picked up the living and dining room. I forget that Charlie and Emmett don't really care about that kind of thing. It wasn't that I minded, but if I didn't do the five minutes it took every day, it would take three times as long the next day. Emmett and Charlie noticed when I didn't pick up, so they would, unknowingly, revert back to their old ways.

When it was around 5, I slowly started making dinner. Though Emmett would complain and Charlie would manfully endure, I started cutting up broccoli to have steamed with dinner. This dinner didn't take too long to make, I just wanted to make sure it was ready when both Charlie and Emmett got home around 6.

They both had skeptical looks on their faces when they smelled the peanut sauce. They were not the type of people who experimented with what they ate. I laughed at them. "You think I would kill you? It's just Pad Thai, nothing too exciting."

Charlie looked at the noodles. "I've just never had much Thai food. Not your fault I'm nervous."

We all served up in the kitchen, because I was lazy and didn't want to find a bowl to put everything in or wash it afterwards. I forced some broccoli onto Emmett's plate. The way he acted, you wouldn't think he as eighteen. We all sat around the dining room table and started eating. "Bells, you said you had some news," Emmett stated after he had a couple bites.

I hadn't told Charlie I had news. Charlie raised his eyebrows at me. "Well, you know that Edward and I have been filling out a lot of college applications. I got accepted to New York University and…" I tried to tell them the rest of my news, but Emmett was lifting out of my chair and hugged me.

Charlie got up and hugged me, "That is great news, Bella!"

"Well, I have even better news. I got also got accepted to the University of Washington in Seattle with a full ride scholarship. Since I don't have a college fund, it is perfect!" I said.

Once again I was pulled into two huge hugs, then I was able to sit back down. The rest of dinner was talking about college classes and majors. Also, Charlie would occasionally give Emmett a slight glare because he hadn't heard back from any colleges yet. Though, I have to admit, it's not Emmett's fault no one had responded as of right now. Charlie was very excited for me to get ready to college and get a "proper education." Throughout the entire conversation, no one mentioned me calling Renee. I noticed it, but didn't bring it up. I did not want to call her with my news.

Though I got into two colleges, and as off right now I was going to accept UW's offer, I knew I had to work really hard the rest of the school year. I had to keep my grades up high. The paper said that I had the full ride, but I would be put on probation if I didn't get a B average. I wanted to go in proving I earned them.

Review! Also...remember I have a second story I would love people to check out and let me know if they like it/hate it. (Same with this story!)
