Dear Diary,
My dad is really mad, but it was worth it!
Ali and I met Jasper at his dorm. His room was really messy, but that's Jasper for you. Anyway, his room is three doors down from Edward, but Edward had a surprise meeting with one of his professors, so he had to meet us a little late. Jasper gave us a tour of the dorm building. It was awesome, seeing how everyone interacts with each other. There's a common area with a pool table and foosball and a large-screen TV. Jasper said that a lot of people meet there on the weekends to watch football and it can get pretty crazy. (Of course, everyone roots for TU!)
From there, we went to the music building, and that's where Edward met us. He looked really cute! He's letting his hair grow out and he's really happy. I told him he's glowing. I regretted it as soon as I said it, because that's pretty cheesy. Ugh! But he blushed! I made Edward blush! He and I kind of walked behind Jasper and Ali when we toured the campus. They were in their own bubble anyway! Edward was telling me all kinds of crazy stories. He said that on the first full day of class, there was a streaker, and in his words, it was someone who had no business streaking. I almost fell over, I was laughing so hard. No joke!
He was right about us liking the campus. I haven't given much thought to which school I'd attend, since I still have at least a year to get serious about it, but I can definitely see me at TU. The campus is beautiful and the people are really friendly. Ali agrees with me. Maybe we can both go to TU! Oh my gosh, that would so awesome!
After the tour, we went to the dining hall and grabbed some Mazzio's. Then we went back to the dorm and played around in the game room. There were a few people there, but no one bothered us. It was almost as if we belonged. I loved it!
Jasper and Ali disappeared for awhile. I found out later that they took a walk and Jasper was telling her about this girl he's been seeing. Ali was sad, but she said that she's happy if he's happy.
I wanted to ask Edward all night if he was seeing anyone, but I couldn't get the nerve to do it. If he is seeing someone, he would have told me, right? Then again, I guess he doesn't owe me any explanations. He hugged me when they walked us to the car. It was nice. He's a lot taller than me, and I felt really safe with him. He said he probably wouldn't see me until Thanksgiving break. I hope he remembers he said that!
We had so much fun. It was awesome to see them! And now we're really excited about going to college. Haha!
I kind of miss him now :(
Love,
Bella
P.S. Mom just poked her head in and said that Dad has calmed down. Phew! WWIII has been averted!
Chapter End Notes: Thanks so much for reading!
