Disclaimer: Sadly, Twilight is not mine. =[
Anyways, sorry this took so long. College is kicking my ass this semester. I'm still not 100% happy with this, but I thought I'd post it anyways. I hate to keep you waiting. Also, I'm really tired. I looked this over, but more than likely I missed some mistake. Sorry. Review?
I should have known better than to wish that summer would go by slow. I never get what I want. The summer flew by.
Today is August 24; the day that I move into my dorm.
Eff my life.
I glanced around my room one last time before heading downstairs to meet Alice and Edward. They knew me well enough to know that I'd want to this last minute to myself.
I glanced around at my empty walls, and walked downstairs. Once I got to the bottom I heard Alice make a noise that sounded like a cross between a scream and a squeal. Oh Alice.
"BELLA!!! JUMP TACKLE HUG," screamed Alice, as she, ironically, jumped, tackled, and hugged me. "WE'RE MOVING INTO OUR DORM TODAY!!!!!"
"Get off of me, you crazy pixie!" I laughed as I shoved her off. But not even that was enough to deter her. She continued to dance around the room. I think she is determined to ride the crazy bus all the way to Seattle. She is nuts.
I turned to Edward, with wide eyes, and asked, "Dude, did you give her coffee?"
He just shook his head in response while his eyes followed his psychotic sister around the room.
"Bells!" exclaimed Charlie. "You all packed?"
I franticly tried to think of something to delay our departure a few more minutes, but I came up with nothing. Sigh.
"Yeah dad," I answered reluctantly. "So, I think we're going to go now." I walked to Charlie and gave him a big hug.
"See you in a couple weeks." I said, trying to hold back my tears.
"Bye Bells. Be good, kid." He replied, gruffly.
I turned my back on my dad, and followed my friends out the door.
As I stepped off of the curb to get into Betty, Edward's car, I promptly tripped and had to grab a hold of the side mirror so I didn't crack my head open. Obviously this is a sign to turn around to become the cat lady. Yep, much better than going to college.
Before I could make my way back to the door I saw Edward chuckling.
"Bella, stop fondling Betty and get in the damn car. You're going to college. I'll carry you there caveman style if I have too!"
Damn him and his mind-reading powers. How does he always know what I'm thinking?
And he most definitely wasn't lying about the caveman thing either.
"Isabella Swan!" shouted a boy of about 11, as he tried to pry a girl, of about the same age, off of her bed; a bed to whom which she was clinging to as if her life depended on it. "What do you think you're doing?"
"Me!?" yelled the girl, "Edward, you're the one who is trying to dislocate my shoulders! Let me go!"
He glanced down at her, incredulously, "Me? Let you go? Why are you still up here Bella? Do you really want to be late for our first day of middle school?"
He saw her eyes fill with dread, and immediately released her.
"Bella, what's really wrong?" he asked gently.
"I'm scared," she whispered, while playing with her hair. "Everything is going to be different. Emmett told me that we might not be friends anymore."
The boy gave her a look that questioned her sanity.
"Bella," he sighed, "if I'm not your friend, then I won't be anyone's friend."
She glanced up at him hopefully, but when she met his eyes she quickly looked down again.
"He said that you would say that. He said that you wouldn't want to hurt my feelings."
The boy clenched his teeth and said, "Isabella, this can be easy, or this can be hard. But one way or another you are coming to school with me."
She just shook her head and continued to stare at the ground.
"Fine," grumbled the boy.
He stood up, picked the girl up, and threw her over his shoulder. On his way out the door he grabbed her backpack.
"Edward!" she squealed, while punching him in the back, "let me down!"
He ignored her, and carried her all the way to his mom's van, which was parked outside.
As they neared the van he let the girl down, while keeping a hold of her arm, to steady her.
"Bella," he said, "don't test me. I'll always be there to kidnap you, caveman style. You're my best friend, and I wouldn't have it any other way."
So, my choices were to either walk to the car on my own, or to have my big, strong best friend slash personal Greek god carry me? Hard choice.
"Edward!" I shouted, "I'm not going and you can't make me."
He looked at me and rolled his eyes.
"Oh Bella," he sighed, "will you ever learn?"
He walked towards me, picked me up, and threw me over his shoulder. Before he could set me down in the car, I had a really nice view of his firm little butt. Yep, this was definitely worth it.
While he was walking to get to his seat, Alice turned around from the passenger's side and gave me a knowing look.
Damn psychic pixie. She knew exactly what I just did.
Edward got into the car, and we pulled out and were on our way.
________________________________________________________________
Four hours and 3 bathroom breaks later, we had arrived. Edward insisted on helping us move in before he even checked his dorm out.
We quickly gathered our stuff and walked into our dorm.
"Welcome to Justin Hall!" exclaimed an overly perky RA. "What are your names?"
"Isabella Swan and Alice Cullen," I said with a smile.
She scanned a list of names. "Great! You two are on my floor! Do you want me to show you?"
"Sure," replied Alice, "that would be great."
We followed perky RA, whose name we still do not know, to our room on the 4th floor.
"I hope you guys have a good year! I'm Ashleigh! You should come to me if you need anything!" said perky RA as she walked out the door.
We sat down our stuff and looked around. This place had some potential.
There were two lofted beds on either side, with a desk underneath them. There were also a couple of dressers and closets. Everything was light colored.
"Bella! I love it!" squealed Alice.
"I know, I love it too!" I replied. "Let's go help Edward now."
Apparently Edward is on the 6th floor of the same building, so we decided to go check out his room before we got his stuff.
So we got his keys from his RA, Mike, and walked up the stairs.
The boys' floors were plainer, but I guess that's to be expected. When we reached his door he put his keys in and opened it.
"What the HELL is that smell," I asked.
It looks like Edward's roommate had been living here already. He must be in a sport. I glanced around for the source of the stench, but eventually I couldn't take it anymore. I went backed into the hallway in search of some slightly cleaner air.
Before I could completely back into the hallway I ran into someone. Oh crap, that must be Edward's roommate.
I turned to apologize, but before I could say anything the person did.
"Isabella Swan?"
I whipped around to see what this creeper who knew my name looked like.
I was met with a very familiar pair of brown eyes.
A/N: I'm sure you can guess who that is.
