Chapter 4: Enter Edward Masen

EPOV

When I reached into my dorm room, it finally dawned on me, I was at college. As I opened the door I was greeted by a guy I could only assume was my roommate.

"Hello, I'm Edward, I'm guessing you're my roommate" I said politely, sticking my hand out towards him.

He took it and while shaking it said, "Jasper, nice to finally meet you."

"You too, wow, you seem to already be unpacked, impressive. I better get started if I want to do anything else today." I sighed.

"Want any help?" Jasper asked

"If you don't mind? It'll get done twice as quickly then we can go out and roam around campus for a bit and maybe have a late lunch." I said realizing it was almost three and I had still yet to eat.

"No problem," he said picking up one of my suitcases "where are your bed sheets? I'll make your bed while you unpack your clothes."
"In this one," I said pushing the smallest suitcase towards him. I decided to make small talk "So what are you majoring in?"
"Well, I'm not exactly sure yet, I'm thinking either history or psychology. I have a great interest in both, just have to narrow it down to one, or hell, maybe I'll double major" he said shrugging it off, like that was an easy task. "How about you?"

"I have no idea, not yet anyway. Hopefully I'll figure something out soon enough" I sighed.

"I'm sure you will. So girlfriend back home?" he asked.

"Um… no" I said

"Really? Hu, I figured you for the girlfriend type, what did you break up before you left for college or something?"

"Not really, actually I've never had a serious relationship." Jasper raised his eyebrow questioningly; I suddenly felt the need to explain myself "Well, I mean I've dated girls, just nothing serious. Haven't met the one you know?"
"Yea man, I know what you are talking about. I tired of those girls who just care about how they look and how you look and how their friends think they look. It's just all so superficial. When I find the girl I'm meant to be with, it'll be love at first sight, head over heels time. Or at least that's what I keep telling myself…" he said and then drifted off into his own thoughts.

"Yea," I responded. I thought back to high school, the flock of girls that were constantly trying to date me. I chuckled to myself at the many excuses I used to get out of dates. The unoriginal, "I have basketball practice", the slightly more original, "My long lost, twice removed, cousin actually is visiting and I want to catch up with him" and when I got really desperate I'd use the "I'm a vampire, so to save you from your death that you would surely endure if you were to go on a date with me, I'll have to say no. It's for the best don't you think?" The sad part about these horrible excuses is they worked, every time. You'd think the girls would have gotten suspicious when I had at least ten long lost cousins visit me in a four year time period. But nope, that just proves how smart they were.

"You almost done?" Jasper asked, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Yes, just finished" I said as I put the finishing touches to my side of the room, placing my iPod player right next to my desk and my piano keyboard under the bed. "Let's go"

We walked out of the dorms and started off in the direction towards the cafeteria for lunch.

Just as we turned a corner, Jasper bumped into a small girl and fell down.

"Oh my gosh! I am so sorry, I wasn't watching were I was going! Are you alright?" said the girl with short black hair to Jasper.

"Yea, I'm …" he glanced up at the girl and suddenly went speechless.

"He's fine," I finished for him as he stood up, brushing the dirt off of himself. "I'm Edward, and this here is Jasper" I pointed to the still silent Jasper.

"Hi, I'm Alice," she said starring at Jasper, as soon as they made eye contact she giggled.

It was after the giggling that Jasper seemed to finally find his voice again, "So where are you heading off to in such a hurry, Alice?" he asked, genuinely curious.

"Oh, I'm supposed to be meeting my roommate in," she glanced at her watch "three minutes. We are going shopping for new, well, new everything!" she grinned widely, a grin, I noticed, Jasper copied. "Would you like to come?" She asked Jasper.

Jasper looked stunned for a minute, and then contemplative, trying to decided between pleasing Alice or saying no like he really wanted to. I decided to step in to help out my roommate, "Actually Alice, we were just heading to the cafeteria to get some food in us."

"Oh," she said, looking disappointed.

"B-b-but," Jasper stuttered, "I would love to hang out with you later. How about later tonight? I heard there is going to be a welcome dance; we could meet there around 7?"

Alice smiled up at him and said "Sure, let me have your cell phone real quick" Jasper quickly obliged and starred in pure adoration as she typed in it. She gave it back to him and then skipped off in the direction of Meyer Hall.

"What'd she type?" I asked, curious

He starred wide-eyed at the phone and then tilted the screen in my direction so I could read it: Alice Brandon: 343-555-0393 with a note saying "You're cute, can't wait for tonight"

"Jasper how is it that we've just stepped outside and you already have some girls' phone number?" I said, pretending to be jealous.

"Dude, she isn't just some girl… did you see her? She is perfect. I can't wait for tonight!" he said as he began to walk towards the cafeteria again, only this time in a daze.

I quickly followed and listened to him go on and on about one Alice Brandon. From what I knew of Jasper already, he seemed like a good guy so I was happy that he had found this supposed 'perfect' girl.

The cafeteria was jam packed so after getting our food, Jasper and I had to end up asking some guy if we could sit with him.

"Sure, go ahead and sit. I'm Mike," the boy said sticking his hand out.

"Nice to meet you Mike, I'm Jasper, and this is Edward" Jasper said shaking Mike's hand.

"I'm Tyler," said the other guy sitting next to Mike, "Man, have you seen the girls at this school? Wow! I'd like to tap all of that" he said high fiving Mike.

"I know what you are talking about, only the girlfriend is holding me back" Mike said grimly.

"Why? What she doesn't know won't hurt her, right? Hey, girls!" Tyler shouted to some passing girls.

"Yes?" asked the brunette.

"Do you and your friend want to come sit with us?" Tyler asked.

"Sure we would," the brunette and blond dropped down in the two empty seats remaining at our table. "I'm Jessica, my friend is Lauren. We are both single, freshman, and very interested" Jessica said locking eyes with me.

"Name's Tyler, that's Mike, Edward and Jasper" Tyler said pointing to us as he said our names. "So you see, we have a problem here ladies, my buddy Mike here, he's stuck in a relationship with his high school sweet heart" Tyler said rolling his eyes, "I'm trying to convince him to break up with this girl, and go for someone more his standards, such as you lovely ladies. So that makes me wonder, would either of you be interested in hooking up with him?"

It gave me the creeps just hearing these guys talk to the girls like this. What did they think they were, just prizes? I noticed Jasper was stiff next to me, obviously uncomfortable too. I started to eat my meal faster, hoping to get away from these guys as soon as possible.

"Oh, we'd be very interested," Lauren purred while Jessica nodded rapidly.

"Awesome, meet in our dorm later tonight, 10 work? We are in Brown Hall room 19"

"See you then" Jessica said, glancing quickly my way before going to kiss Mike softly on the lips while Lauren kissed Tyler.

As soon as they walked away Tyler said, "Now, that is what I am talking about! This is what college is about baby!" and pumped his fist into the air.

"Hell yea, and Bells never has to know" Mike said winking at Tyler. I suddenly felt bad for this Bells he spoke of, she was obviously his girlfriend. She didn't deserve to be dating a scumbag like him. No one deserved that. I was about to give Mike a piece of my mind when suddenly Jasper said "Well, thanks for letting us sit with you guys, we have to get going. Come on Edward," he pulled my arm and led me away from the table.
"Can you believe those idiots? And his poor girlfriend! I wish I could tell him a piece of my mind! Or warn his girlfriend, or something. He shouldn't be able to get away with that." I said clenching my fists.

"I am totally with you, but I don't think it's wise to go around fighting guys the first day here. We don't need that kind of enemy, and we don't know who his girlfriend is." I gave him a wary glance "I'll make you a deal, if we find out who his girlfriend is, we'll tell her. Otherwise we will leave it alone."
That seemed like a good enough plan so I agreed.

We slowly made our way back to our dorm, and when we finally reached it Jasper told me he was going to go shower. When he left I decided to turn on my iPod and blast the music while I went to check my e-mail. I had two, one from my mom and one from Tanya.

I read my mom's first

Edward,

By the time you read this you'll already be a college student. Wow, honey, I am so proud of you, so is your dad. You grew up so quickly, I remember the days when you used to play capture the flag and thought girls had cooties. Now look at you!
Well, behave and have fun! Call us when you get a chance!
Love,

Esme & Carlisle

I responded back with a quick paragraph about Jasper and how much I was enjoying college, leaving out the lunch conversation of course.Then went to read Tanya's.

Eddy, (why did she call me that! She knows I hate it!)

Baby, how are you?? My big, bad college boy. I really, really miss you. It's just not the same here without your smile and well…you. I know you said you wanted to end our relationship when you moved, but I was thinking and I'm willing to try a long distance relationship if you are. I could even come up to visit you once and a while.

Well, gotta go, Laguna Beach marathon is on! EEK!
Love you baby,

Tanya

I sighed after reading Tanya's letter, we went on two dates. Two dates where I was bored out of my mind. She was an excellent kisser, I'll give her that, however; her personality was nonexistent. I used going away to college as an excuse to stop dating her; she obviously didn't get it though. How do you respond to an e-mail like that? I thought to myself. Oh, well, I'll just respond later I guess. I closed my e-mail and shut down my computer right when Jasper walked back into the room.

"Edward, if you are planning on showering before we head to the party you might want to do that now." Jasper said while combing his hair.

"Right, thanks" I quickly picked up my towel, shampoo, soap and headed to the showers.

I quickly showered and dried off before heading back to my dorm room where I found Jasper holding up shirt after shirt in front of him in the mirror.

"Um, Jasper? What are you doing?" I asked skeptically.

"Edward! You have a good fashion sense, I need advice. What should I wear? I want to wear something that will impress Alice, but I don't want to look like I am trying to impress her." He seemed frantic, holding up another two shirts to himself.

"Your washed out jeans and that black shirt with those shoes," I said pointing to black shoes.

"That is perfect Edward, thank you!" he quickly dressed while I found clothes and settled on a deep green sweater and dark jean pants. After I finished changing I ran my hands through my hair, trying to make it look somewhat neat. After multiple failed attempts, however; I gave up. I glanced at the clock and saw it was 6:30.

"Jasper, we better get going, so we can get settled in a bit before Alice gets there"
"Lets head out" Jasper said grabbing the keys to the room as well as his cell.

The walk to the building where the dance was being held was surprisingly short and we managed to get there in only ten minutes.

"Here goes nothing," Jasper said and opened the doors to the dance spotting Alice right away; I guess she also thought of the 'get there early' idea.

I followed behind Jasper as he moved towards Alice. Once we were standing right in front of her, I froze; right next to Alice was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen and she was smiling right at me.
