This is my first real chapter, constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated!! Also, this story will mostly be in Bella's POV, she reminds me of myself (I'm sure many of you can agree). After this chapter, I'll let you know if it's in someone else' perspective.

Bella's POV

I sighed lightly as I stepped out of the shower. It was my first day at the University of Forks. I wasn't even 19 yet, not for another month, and I was going to college. I wrapped the towel around my hair and proceeded to get dressed. I smirked slightly as I began to gather my clothes. Alice had insisted on going school shopping the weekend before, and she made me let her buy me what she deemed sexy clothes. Alice Brandon was my best friend and first cousin. Her family was rich. By the way, my name is Isabella Swan, I live with my parents in Forks, Washington.

We were a middle class family, Alice was upper class. But it never bothered me. I finished drying my hair and got dressed in the dark blue that Alice and Rosalie, my other best friend, insisted looked great on me. I thought it was ridiculous, but they insisted. It was easier to agree, anyway.

After getting dressed, I applied a light layer of eye shadow, also blue, and lip gloss. I attempted to drag a brush through my hair, I just barely managed to disentangle it. I looked in the mirror and groaned quietly. My hair looked like a rat's nest. I huffed at the mess and decided to dig through the drawers and just pull my hair back. As I was digging for the hair ties, my phone started pinging at me. I sighed and straightened up, it was Alice. I recognized her special ring tone right away. I grabbed my phone off the counter and opened it up: 1 New Message.

Bella!!

Hurry up! Rose and I are waiting.

Jazzy's coming to U of F!!!!

Alice.

I chuckled to myself after reading this, of course. And finished getting my hair fixed. I already knew that Jasper, or Jazzy, would be coming to Forks. Alice hadn't always lived here, she used to live up in Seattle. But her mother, my aunt, remarried two years ago and moved down here. Jasper and Alice had been together for a couple years now. I smiled lightly and went downstairs.

"What took you so long!!" Alice said, practically attacking me.

"I had to shower and get dressed. Now, what did I hear about Jasper coming down her?" I asked, grinning to myself. I grabbed my bag and we headed out to Alice's canary yellow Porsche. I climbed in the back while Alice hopped in the driver seat. I said a quick hello to Rosalie, then had to stop talking.

"He told me he got accepted to Stanford and Harvard. He didn't say a word about U of F!! I just assumed he would go to one of them. But he called this morning to tell me he was on his way down. When I asked him why, he said it was because he was taking classes at University of Forks with us! He also said that his two best friends, Edward and Emmett, are taking classes up here too. I've never met them, but I'm sure they're great. I mean, they're Jazzy's best friends!" Alice said, going a mile a minute. She barely took a breath through her entire explanation.

Rosalie and I just laugh. By the time she finished, she was gasping for air and had to slow down.

"Where'd you get the Porsche, anyway?" I ask her, not really interested.

"My parents got it for me last month, I think it was a bribe. They wanted me to go to Oxford. But I could never do that," she replied after she could breathe again.

We all start laughing as she pulls into the University parking lot. We cruise around for a while, talking about the best place to park. After about five minutes, my phone starts going off. "Who the hell could be calling?" I ask them. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and look at the caller ID:

Jasper Calling

I chuckle and answer the phone. "What's up, Jazzy?"

I can practically hear him flinch. I knew he hated that name, but I thought it was funny. As I said that, Alice almost screamed my ears off.

"Lemme talk to him! Lemme talk to him! Lemme talk to him!" she chanted as she finally pulled into a parking spot.

"Hush," I tell her, "Anyway, what's up Jasper?"

"I was just wondering what you guys were doing, driving around like that. We're around by the pool. I think Alice has her phone off, I tried her first but she didn't answer," he replied softly. It sounded like he was trying to keep the conversation private.

"Yeah, it probably is. OK, I'll let her know where you guys are. We'll see you there. Later," I said to him, closing my phone after a second. "Hey Alice?"

"Hmmmm?" she answered, obviously slightly peeved at her boyfriend.

"Did you remember to turn the tone back on your phone? And they're over by the pool," I told her.

"OH!" she exclaimed, reaching into her pocket.

The display screen read:5 missed calls

3 new messages

We all start laughing and climb out of the car. We walk across the small campus to join Jasper and his two friends we have yet to meet. As we amble, I only tripped once. But I tripped over nothing, which got Alice and Rosalie laughing harder. When we got to the pool, Alice screamed and ran up to Jasper. He opened his arms in time to catch her. Rose and I just smiled at each other and checked out the two new guys. Rosalie's eyes stopped on the big, bear-like guy; mine took him in. He had a wide, friendly smile; broad shoulders; and large arms. After a moment, I let my eyes rest on Jasper's other friend. My breath caught in my chest. He was beautiful.
