Disclaimer- I do not in any form own Twilight….tear* If I did Jasper would be real and I could lock him away in my room forever…actually I couldn't because my husband wouldn't like that LOL.

My dorm, of course, had to be all the way at the end up of the hallway. It wasn't small but it wasn't big either. Basically a room with two beds and two desks in it. My roommate hadn't arrived yet and I prayed to every deity known to man that my roommate at least be somewhat likeable. I didn't want to spend a whole two semesters plotting a murder or hiding at the library. I didn't need to worry about that especially since I was still trying to get my mind wrapped around the fact that I'd be sharing a bathroom with the whole fifth floor. At least it was an all girls dorm; Charlie wouldn't budge on that little fact. Thank God.

I chose the left bed and sat down waiting for my dad to show up. My thoughts went back to the cars in the parking lot. I knew it was silly; there was no way they would be here. Alice would have seen it and I'm sure Edward would have made them change plans. He didn't love me anymore. He surely wouldn't want to be in the same state as me either. My heart on the other hand was hoping it was them.

"Bells can you help me?"

I looked up to see my dad trying and failing to walk with two boxes in his hands. I almost laughed at the sight because it looked like he was going to fall over any second. I grabbed a box and placed in on the bed just as my dad was placing the other one on one of the desks. I didn't have much with me. Probably three more boxes in the truck and that was it.

"I'm going to go get the other boxes. Why don't you start unpacking kiddo?"

"Are you sure Dad? I can help bring a box up."

Charlie just shook his head and smiled before walking out the door. I shrugged to myself and opened the box on the desk. No wonder Charlie was about to keel over this box was filled with all my books. Some of the books were for my classes this semester so I decided to stack them on the desk. The rest were just for passing the time and would have to wait till I bought a shelf to place them in. The other box was filled with things from my room. I opened the suitcase I brought with me and starting placing clothes in the closet closest to my bed.

"Bells…" I looked up to see my dad carrying two more boxes and slowly kicking one into the room.

"I told you I could help you. You have to be so stubborn." I shook my head at him as I grabbed a box from his hands.

"I did just fine on my own. Now do you want to go to the store to buy stuff for your room? My flight isn't till three and that's five hours till now."

"Sure."

I followed Charlie to the truck but this time hopping in the driver's seat. I couldn't help but notice as I pulled out of my parking spot that the Volvo and Jeep were now sitting next to a red sports car. I drove past it just as a blonde woman was stepping out of the car. Get it together Bella. Seriously, it's just a coincidence. He's not coming back. I kept repeating that to myself like a mantra, trying to convince myself that I wasn't losing my sanity.

It took us about two hours to buy everything I needed. I got new beds sheets, in a beautiful shade of blue, for my bed and two black shelves. I also bought a little basket for my toiletries. Charlie bought me an iPod, saying it was a gift for getting into Dartmouth, and that there was no arguing about it. I begrudgingly took it because I didn't have the heart to fight back about it.

By the time we got back I noticed my roommate had arrived. Her side of the room was made up. It looked as if a hello kitty had exploded in the room. Her sheets were pink and white and there was a gigantic hello kitty plush doll sitting on it. Her laptop was even pink! I was already cringing at the thought of what my roommate was going to be like.

"Well ummm she seems to be very vibrant", Charlie said and I could literally see him internally cringing at the horror of it all.

"Yeah. Vibrant. That's the word I was thinking of", I said. I have nothing against Hello Kitty but this was beyond overload.

We spent the rest of the time setting up my side. I had a bulletin board above my bed and placed various things on it. There was a picture of Charlie and me at my graduation. There was also picture of Renee and Phil at one of his minor league games and another picture of the meadow. It took me three weeks of searching for it and a million scrapes on my knees and hands before I found it. The day I found it I sat there for hours just remembering all the times we spent there together. How his skin would glitter in the sun and how much I loved running my fingers through his hair. I miss you so much.

I had my jewelry box on the nightstand next to my bed. All of my jewelry was costume jewelry. I felt more comfortable wearing them because at least if I lost one it could be easily replaced. The only thing I had of real worth in it was the pearl necklace Renee gave me for graduation. It was given to her by her mom and she passed it on to me.

"Bells it's about time we head to the airport so I can catch my flight", Charlie said sadly.

"Okay Dad"

Our drive was silent. I would miss Charlie so much and part of my worried about how he would fare without me there to take care of him.

"I'm going to miss you", Charlie mumbled into my hair as we hugged each other.

"I'm going to miss you too Dad"

"Be sure to call me if you need anything. Also make sure to carry your pepper spray with you at all times, don't want those college boys getting any ideas about my Bella" I laughed and agreed that I would carry around my "protection" with me at all times.

We hugged again and I stayed until he disappeared behind the security check. I made it back to campus cringing as my truck made a loud noise causing everyone within reach to turn and look my way. I climbed out of my truck just as the clouds decided to let the rain pour.

Figures. It's been cloudy all day and now it decides to down pour on me. I made a dash for my dorm building, only tripping twice on the way there, and up to my dorm room. I was fully soaked and I resembled a wet cat. Very cute.

"Oh My Gosh! HI!"

The next thing I know I'm being hugged by girl with auburn hair with a pale yellow headband. I stood still as she hugged me, waiting for her to let me go. When she did I noticed she was wearing a white dress with a short sleeved cardigan that matched her headband and flip flops.

"I'm you're roommate! My name is Sheila but you can call me Shell. What's your name?" She smiled at me and waited patiently for me to answer as my brain tried to process the rush of words she shot at me. I felt a slight tug in my chest because her personality reminded me of Alice.

"I'm Isabella but I go by Bella" My response was cautious and slow but that didn't seem to stop her.

"That is like such a pretty name! I absolutely love it."

"Thanks"

"Oh my gosh you're completely wet!"

"Yeah", I smiled weakly at her as I made my way to my closet. As I placed my clothes on the bed I realized that I would have to change in front of her. I guess she sensed my hesitation.

"How about I step out for a little bit? I'll just go knock on people's doors and introduce myself! Come find me and we can make new friends together", she said happily and all but danced out of the room, closing the door behind her.

I didn't get a chance to protest. I might have changed a few things about myself in the past year but being shy was still cemented into my core.

I placed my wet clothes in the small hamper I put in my closet and started getting dressed in dry clothes. This time I was dressed in a red tank top and jeans with red ballet flats. I grabbed my black zip up hoodie just in case I got cold and made my way into the hallway to find Shell.

I found a few doors away talking to someone though I couldn't see them because they were still inside their room. As I got closer Shell noticed me.

"Bella come here! This is Alice and Rosalie. Girls this is Bella my roommate"

My heart stopped as I gazed into the room staring into two pairs of golden eyes. One was filled with happiness and the other was filled utter shock.

"Hi Bella! We've missed you", Alice exclaimed.

I couldn't breathe. I could feel my chest constricting in pain and then…..

I black out. Shit.

So there's chapter 2! I hope you guys liked it.

Dun dun dun…..Alice and Rose are living on the same floor. So okay most likely this wouldn't happen in the book but hey it's my story and I'm having fun with it ;) Now I realize that them actually dorming at college is very unlikely considering they're married but just hang in there with me. I do have a purpose for it

And Bella is slightly OOC but I hope you still love her. Idk when Edward will make an appearance but it will be soon. The store has a mind of it's own and I'm just it's outlet.

Thank you to everyone who reviewed. Trinaluvsvamps I added the link to my profile for Bella's outfit from the last chapter. Hopefully I did the link thing right… :/

Reviews make me happy….virtual Hello Kitty plushie for you if you do hehe.
