ALSO I WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW THAT I MADE A MYSPACE PAGE FOR SOME OF THE PICTURES OF ITEMS IN THE STORY THE WEBSITE IS:

Links (just copy to address bar): none. I wish I had a picture of Edward's face at Panera though.

Walking inside the Magnolia building was very much like walking up to the front gate. You can't help but feel glamorous. The problem for me is once I look down my golden dress disappears and the plain old Bella Swan is the one standing in the beauty's space. It's disheartening really, that's one reason I don't like fancy places. Don't even get me started on the snobs!

I made my way to the elevators receiving weird looks from the students around me. Isn't being new a joy! Nope. I felt more vulnerable without Emmett by my side as well. We split up and he promised to meet at the Panera Bread on campus at 5 (They have a freaking Panera Bread, I know!), so right now I might as well be a deer under a cars headlights. I shuddered.

I pressed the "five" button and up the elevator went. Soon it stops with a ding and I was out. Walking down the hallway I saw the washer and dryer room, and on top of the folding area was a couple making out. I decided to just ignore them and continue. I found my door, according to my paper as one of the grand dorms, and opened it.

It was huge, especially for a dorm. The middle went straight back and there was two hallways. One to the left and one to the right and next to the wall of the left hallway was a small kitchen.

I walked down both hallways examining the rich red wood and the complementary- color painted rooms. In each hallway there were three doors. Two led to big bedrooms with queen sized beds and one door for a bathroom.

After debating on which room to take (it was evident that I was the first to arrive), I chose the room farthest north on the left side. It didn't have a dorm on the other side so it was seemingly the most peaceful option. On the right rooms, there was a dorm on the other side so I stuck with the left.

I sat all my stuff down and started to unpack. This place truly is unbelievable, and I get to live here for two years! It's going to be so much fun! At least I hope—

My reverie was broken by the silent knock on my door. I turned around to see a shy looking girl with wavy, brownish hair in a pony tail.

"Hi, I'm Angela Webber… Erm; you must be Isabella Swan, right?"

"Hi, yeah I'm new to SLP, and you can just call me Bella." I corrected her with a smile.

"I figured you weren't Jasper… then again I think I've seen him before. Anyway I chose the room next to yours so that the girls will be on one side and the guys on the other. I have no idea how the infamous Edward Cullen's bathroom is like but I think we should play it safe." I laughed. Was she implying this guy is popular or something?

"Yeah, my best friend Emmett McCarty is new here too and his bathroom was…there are no words." We laughed. I could tell Angela would probably be a nice friend. Roomies too!

We talked a little more and decided we should just go out and watch some TV before the guys came. It wasn't long before the door opened and a blond guy came in carrying two suitcases. He was really tall and kind of cute, but not my type.

"Hello." Angela and I said at the same time.

"Hey you guys must be Angela and Isabella." He said putting his suitcases down in front of the door and walking over to us, extending a hand. We both shook it.

"Please, just call me Bella." I smiled. So far I had good dormies.

"Yes, the whole school has been waiting to meet Ms. Isabella Swan. Some kid Matt Newton even looked up your picture. Creepy if you ask me but it's a pleasure to meet you." I could somewhat hear a southern accent in his voice. I blushed at the attention and the fact that the school was waiting for me. Hadn't they wanted to meet Emmett too?

"We took the left hall way. You and Cullen get the right hall, is that okay?" Angela Asked. He nodded and went off to claim his room. He was back in minutes and we just sat and chatted about different things.

After about an hour the door opened again but this time two people came in. One Bronze haired boy with gorgeous green eyes and a tall blond girl dressed like a Vegas Show girl. They were busy making out at the front door when Jasper finally interrupted there love fest.

"Hey man how's it going? I know where it's going. In the other room, now bye." Edward finally detached his lips from the girl and turned around to face Jasper.

"Now that's no way to treat your girlfriends cousin now is it?" He said with a cocky, melodic voice.

"Whatever, Edward. You get the second room in the right hall. If you weren't so busy with your slu—girl in the laundry area you might have been able to pick your own room." I saw the slip up and had to stifle a laugh.

"Fine, Let's go baby." He dragged the girl to the hall, but not before locking gazes with me for a moment and I swear I saw intrigue in his eyes. He's not even goes to go there with me, because I don't hang out with cocky guys. Besides he has a girlfriend. Once he was out of sight I heard kissing noises and the closing of a door. Angela leaned over to whisper something in my ear.

"You'll get used to it. It happens a lot, so I've heard. I believe it too." I didn't mind PDA's that much but really a room is the place for that. Especially when people are trying to have a conversation, that's just rude.

"Okay." Was all I replied? There was the beeping noise and Jasper took the phone out of his pocket and smiled.

"Hey Bella, Angela. My girlfriend Alice just texted me and she wants us to meet at the Panera Bread at five. Ever since I told her I had the new girl as one of my dormies she's been literally dying to meet you." I laughed. Wait I had plans with Emmett.

"Well I would but I made plans to go with my friend Emmett to Panera Bread at five…" They looked at me with raised eyes as if I was missing something. Then it hit me. "Oh, duh. Okay maybe we can all meet up with him?" I asked.

Jasper smiled and started texting. "She says sure… and 'Oh, my, gosh I so can't wait to meet the new girl *squeals*'" We all laughed. She seemed like she would be nice too.

I looked at the clock that said four thirty and jumped up.

"Well, I better get washed up. I'll be out in a second." I ran to my room, grabbed a decent outfit and took a quick shower with my favorite strawberry shampoo. Once I got out Angela and Jasper were patiently waiting for me at the door. We headed out and found ourselves there pretty quickly.

I noticed Emmett sitting at a booth, and when he saw me he started waving. I walked over to him after explaining to Jasper and Angela that, this was Emmett.

"Hey Emmett! My dormies are inviting us to hang out with them, Wanna come?"

"Sure, where are they?" I searched the crowd for Angela and found her and Jasper at a table with two other equally gorgeous people. Darn these pretty people! I pointed towards the table turning back to Emmett.

"Over there. The tall blond male and female, The medium girl and the short one!" I said quickly, assessing his face for permission-like purposes. He smiled. Score one for the pretty people!

"You mean the bouncing small one? With the short spiky hair, sitting next to the hottie Blondie?" he asked excitedly. I turned around and sure enough the small one was bouncing, and waving manically at us. I nodded and led him over. All at once they had their hands extended.

"Jasper"

"Angela"

"Alice"

"Hey…" the Tall blond started to bat her eyelashes. On the first day too, that's a record! "I'm Rosalie, but people call me Rose." Flirting started so I turned toward the pixie-like creature in front of me, who was smiling widely.

"Hi you must be Bella! I'm so glad I get to meet you, I'm Alice Brandon!" She then pulled me into a hug and sat me down. These people are so nice! I noticed that she called me Bella and not Isabella, so I smiled thankfully at Jasper who nodded.

"It's nice to meet you too, you all are so nice." I finally voiced my thoughts. I noticed their very casual yet stunning in a way only achieved by them. "You guys sure dress well. I love your outfits. Where did you get them?" I asked as Alice's smile somehow stretched over every inch of her face as did Rosalie's. I noticed Jasper through me a 'good luck' face before composing his face again. I understood almost immediately his worry and fixed the growing issue at hand." I don't like shopping much." I said but when their face fell tons I added. "But you two guys seem to know what you're doing" They smiled again and Alice grinned deviously for a second before smiling sweetly again.

"So Bella, What do you like to do in your free time?" Rosalie asked suddenly.

"Well Emmett and I used to sing at the stupid talent shows at our old school. He had to force me though. It was fun after I got the hang of the crowd." I said. Emmett looked smug at his ability to force me into something.

Alice's face did the stretchy thing again. "Oh my gosh, you two should be one of the singers at The Grotto!" she exclaimed clapping furiously while I sat there looking confused.

"What the grotto?" I asked after getting no explanation.

"It's this karaoke club on campus that everyone goes to on Friday nights to let loose. It really is a lot of fun." Jasper explained. Emmett smiled. I knew he'd take any chance he'd get to impress Rosalie so when she agreed of course he said we would do it. The things I guy will do for his ego! I can already tell he's head over heels for her, I just hope she won't crush him or anything. She can just as easily get any guy she wanted as that Edward guy, with just a bat of her eyelashes and a pout.

Speaking of Edward he came strolling over to sit at our table, said hey, and sat down with the girl he was holding hands with. That's when I averted my eyes away from the couple. They were locking lips again, and get this: It wasn't even the same freaking girl! This one was a medium height red-head with big hoop earrings and preppy cloths on. What a freaking player! I thought for sure that other girl was his girlfriend the way they acted.

"Can you stop sucking face cousin dearest; I wish not to puke on your new toy?" Said Alice putting a hand over her mouth in mock horror, so this must happen a lot then. The two stopped and the girl turned to glare at Alice and Rosalie, Jasper, and Emmett started laughing. I didn't because to be honest the truth isn't funny.

"Bonnie honey why don't I just call you later? These morons are being asses."

"It's Rachel… fine!" She got up and stormed out. I can't believe he just forgot the girl's name. Despicable piece of—

"So who's this sexy girl over here" He said gesturing to me. I blushed but then glared at him willing him to explode to bits. My attempts were superfluous though, because the result was fruitless.

"Isabella Swan, but you can call me never." I said, and Jasper 'oohed'. Edward's expression went from shocked, to determined, to cocky once more.

"Ok, I'll just call you sexy then. The name suits you well." He tried to charm me but, luckily I was too pissed off to notice.

"I wish I could same the same." I said sweetly menacing. We started a staring contest and I won. "I guess win then." I said victoriously. He hadn't had enough though I could tell.

"I was just having trouble staring at such hotness, my eyes started to burn!" he said seductively. I bit my tongue before un-lady like words came out.

"Maybe you need glasses then. I thought for sure my un-interested-ness was obvious. Take a closer look." I leaned in to pretend to kiss him and he leaned in greedily too. Once I was a whisper away from him I slapped the left side of his face. Hard. He retreated quickly, massaging his cheek wincing in pain.

"OW!" He yelled "That hurt like pelting diamonds; maybe I should buy you some more." Was he ever going to give up his lame pick up lines?

"No that's okay, unless they're blood diamonds. Only diamonds with your blood on it."

"How about dinner?" he asked seductively again.

"I'm sorry but I don't eat turkey!" (A/N: Turkey can also be a term used as derogatory for bad or stupid man)

"Such a shame, I thought for sure that a girl like you wouldn't mind a little feast for the lips. Maybe a little wine—"

"Would you just shut the hell up?" I yelled, and everyone in the room turned to look at me funny. I was now standing up, and not even bothering to blush like I normally would. I just glared at him furiously. If someone dropped a needle inside Panera Bread you would've heard it echo off the walls it was so quiet. Then all of a sudden my phone went off.

I don't give a...Beep
Keep looking at my...-Beep
'Cause it don't mean a thang if you're looking at my...Beep
I'm a do my thing while you're playing with your...Beep
Ha, ha-ha, ha-ha, ha-ha

"Beep" by the Pussycat dolls echoed throughout the walls. How fitting. I quickly pulled it out and glanced at the caller ID. It's Alex! I haven't talked to her in like a week. I eagerly flipped the phone open.

"Alex!"

"Bella! Oh my gosh how have you been?"

"Great how about you? How's phoenix without me? Are you dying yet?"

"I am most definitely decomposing! It's so boring over here without you!" she yelled into the phone. By this time I was sitting down and people were whispering except for my table, where people just stared at me.

"Well, I need my handsome prince here with me!" This was a game we always played with each other whenever we were separated. She would pretend to be my prince and I was the damsel in distress.

"Just let your hair down your window! You know I can climb that weave!" we were both giggling.

"It wouldn't be too bad if you fell and dragged me with you. That way I'd fall on top of you!"

"If that's what you want baby!" she said in a fake British accent. "So how are the people there? Any competition?" She said in her normal voice. I laughed, then grimaced slightly but covered it up.

"Nope, no competition. All the people are nice. But there' this one Jackass who can't take a hint! He was almost begging!" I smiled as out of the corner of my eye I saw Edward clench his fists.

"Well, what's his number so I can remind him of my territory?" We both laughed again. "Well, I gotta go, mom wants help with little Mark. Talk to you soon?"

"Yeah, and tell Mark I said hey too okay?" I loved her little brother like he was my own brother. Other than Emmett, they were the closest thing to siblings to me.

"Okay. Love ya. Bye" The phone clicked off and I put it in my pocket.

"So who was that?" Alice asked eagerly. I smiled at her enthusiasm, but felt slightly confused by it.

"Just a friend." I answered looking at the table afraid to look into Edward's piercing gaze. Can't he just look the fuck away?

"So who's the lucky guy?" Jasper asked, weirdly looking at Edward.

"I don't have one. " I answered simply. Everyone rose their eyebrows accept Emmett. He looked as if this was the most obvious thing in the world.

" Well, it's getting late. Everyone ready to go back to the dorms?" Rosalie asked. Everyone agreed and we all walked out. I ran back in and put a five on the table for the disturbance. I walked back with Angela, Jasper, and Edward in silence. I think he finally learned his lesson. Or so I thought.

"Just so you know, I'm not giving up sexy." He purred in my ear making me shiver.

"Is your head ever going to pop with all that air in it?"

"You're right; you do make it hard for me to catch my breath."

"Whatever." I snorted and ran into an elevator and closing it before he could get on with me. I swiftly opened the dorm door and ran to my room, locking the door. I jumped on the bed and started to lightly punch the pillow.

Somehow even with me karate chopping the pillow I managed to fall asleep and dream of boxing Edward.
