You have no idea how much I hate tropical storm guys. Seriously. More about that in the later author's note though. I won't bore the ones who just want to read.

Chapter 2: Roommates and chatter

Edward looked at his sister then back at me. I guess he was trying to remember why I looked familiar or why one of his students was already coming to his office. Either way he smiled and I loved it. I basked in it like one of the soritory girls basks at a tanning salon, absorbing every ray in a delightful manner.

"Edward this is Bella Swan. You bored the poor girl to sleep or something and she missed attendance. So if you wouldn't mind hurrying to that little desk of yours and marking her here for the day that would be fabulous."

He walked to his desk and grabbed a blood red folder. He quickly scanned for my name on the attendance and put a check mark near my name. He walked back to the door and glanced at me, "Bella did I really put you to sleep? I hate the first day of class so I can't fault you if all that talk about the syllabus did."

"Oh no. I'm sorry I just drove here all night and I haven't moved into my dorm yet so I didn't get to sleep and I'm just really tired. Like I could lay down on your desk and just sleep for years."

"Well Bella as long as I don't have to grade anything, my desk is always open for you to lay down."

I blushed at this thinking about what he could do to me on the desk. Breathe Bella. Just breathe.

Alice must have caught me blushing out of the corner of my eye. "Bella why didn't you get to sleep. I know the drive must have taken days but I mean come on, a girl needs to sleep."

"Well I was trying to find an apartment online before I came here but I haven't been able to find something I'd like. There are three people per dorm room and it's just that, one room. I just don't have any place to crash yet."

I shrugged trying to not make it a big deal. In my mind it wasn't. I could sleep in the truck tonight if I needed someplace to sleep and I was desperate.

Edward leaned against the door with a mischievous smile on his face. He glanced at his sister and she looked at me. "Bella you can sleep at our apartment. It's like 15 minutes from campus during rush hour and Rosalie just moved out to live with Emmett so we have an extra room."

'We do have an extra room Bella and it's not like we need a lt of money from you. I wouldn't even make you pay as long as you promise to take this pixie out to the mall once a week. If she brings me with her one more time..."

Alice squeaked at this idea. "Yes Bella. Come on, I could totally make you over. It'd be fun girl time. Please. I have a great feeling thinking we'd all get along."

"And if you have any problems sleeping I can have my brother hear read his syllabus to you."

Edward and I both rolled our eyes at the same time and Alice laughed.

"But isn't that against some rule?"

"Pshhh don't kiss your room mate in class and we shouldn't have a problem." I blushed when I heard the word kiss. Kiss? I couldn't just kiss my room mate.

After a few minutes of just random chatter about classes and such Alice interrupted my daydream yet again.

"Bella I need to talk to my brother alone real fast. Could you..."

"Oh yeah, of course. I'm sorry I forgot." I walked out the door and quietly shut it behind me.

A few minutes later Alice emerged from her brother's office. "Sorry about that. Mom wanted me to tell him something."

"Oh no big deal. I was just reading the book for our next class anyway. I'm trying to decide if it's really worth sitting though."

"Blah. I hate science. I can't believe I have to take two years of biology."

Bella smiled. "I was lucky enough to pass the AP so biology two will be my only science in college."

"You lucky duck. So you aren't really a freshman I bet are you?"

"Well." I blushed not wanting to brag. "I kinda came into college with 27 hours already done."

She smiled trying to make me blush again, "You go brainy Bella."

We talked as we walked to class about the apartment. She told me the road it was on but I had no idea where she was talking about seeing as how I had only been a resident on this side of the country for about 24 hours.

Class was dull as it was another syllabus being passed around. The teacher was a young guy who was making the brainy girls swoon this time. What is with teachers and this school that make girls drool? Seriously, I don't get it.

We passed notes throughout the 50 minute class and giggled about the people around us in the lecture hall. A couple of the people in the class were just plain odd.

It countined like this for the next class we had together. By the end of the day I was very happy I had talked to her when trying to locate her brother. We met her brother outside of his next classroom.

"Alice can you drive me to my car? It's in the farthest away parking lot and I don't want to get completely drenched."

"Don't be silly Bella, of course. And Edward will drive back to the complex unless you really want to drive. He could get to the complex with his eyes closed." She glanced back at her brother, "And no that is not a challenge."

He laughed and the three of us walked to the parking garage where Alice's Porsche Cayenne was parked.

"All of a sudden I feel very very poor."

The both laughed. Alice looked sweetly at me as she opened her door. "Honey you are in college what did you expect?"

I blushed as i got into the car knowing what they were going to think when they saw my vehicle of choice. When I finally figured out where I parked I told her to just drop me off and I'd follow.

Edward glanced back at me. "Don't be silly Bella. Even though you drive that" he paused, "thing. I would be awful to make you figure out your way in a new city."

I smiled reluctantly as we got into my massive red truck I had been given as a present for one of my birthdays. "Don't worry Bella. This thing can't be that slow. I was just worried she'd lose you on the highway."

I rolled my eyes as he drove the truck away from campus. He really is pretty.

Edwad's POV

I glanced at the girl sitting in the truck next to me surrounded my her belongings and chuckled to myself realizing I shouldn't be smitten with my room mate and student already.

She really is pretty. Pretty is such an understatement though. This semester should be interesting.

Author's Note:

Okay this week sucked so badly.

A) My boyfriend moved back to his apartment three hours away so I am alone to daytrip.

B) My laptop cord broke which is why it took so long to update. I had to wait for new one to ship.

C) If you haven't been living under a rock you should know about wonderful Faye and Florida. We got three feet of rain over the past couple of days and tornadoes keep popping up throughout the city. So yeah. Not so much fun. My power kept zapping out too.

Read and review please! They make me write faster.
