Thank you guys for the encouragement.

I'd like more reviews if this is good too. Ideas are welcome.

Disclaimer: "Stephenie here. I told you I'd be back. Reader4lyfe DOESN'T own the Twilight Series."

I walk into the room. "Can I own it for five minutes?"

"Nope."

"Please?" cue puppy dog eyes.

"If you ask me again I won't do your disclaimers anymore." I sighed and turned around to leave.

"Dammit. I thought I had her for a minute." I muttered as I walked away.

READ ON!!

Chapter 2

I pulled into a parking spot next to a building that was labeled main office. I got out and walked up the concrete walkway to the green door. There weren't many people in there, just a girl with short blonde hair and another girl with long brown hair. They looked they were arguing with one of the receptionists behind the desk. I couldn't catch the conversation but the blonde humphed and turned around walked towards me. She had the shortest of miniskirts and a tank top that was three sizes too small. Her red lipstick was not helping her case at all. She looked me up and down and sucked her teeth. The brown haired girl had on too tight jeans on and half a shirt that read SEXY. She walked pass me to the door, followed by the other one. She rolled at me and disappeared out the door. Great, I thought, More bitches. This is gonna be a long two years.

I walked up the desk and saw a red haired lady whose name tag read Mrs.Cope and a balding guy sitting next to her. She looked up and gave me a warm smile.

"Hello, dear. What can I do for you?"



"I'm Isabella Swan. I just arrived today."

"Oh. Okay, one moment, please." Mrs.Cope typed something in the computer in front of her and then some papers started coming out of the printer sitting next to her. She grabbed and typed a few more things in the computer before turning back to me. "Okay. Here is your schedule for this year and a map to all your classes. This other map is for you get around campus. There's information on your roommates in here too."

She handed me the papers in a folder.

"Welcome to Phoenix High. You have a nice day, now." She said.

"Thanks." I went back out to my car. I got in and opened the folder. Then I remembered something. She said roommates. As in plural. This will be good. I found my room number and the building. I then figured out a way to get there from here. It wasn't far, about a five minute drive, if I had to guess. I started my car and pulled out of the parking space. I drove slow so I could see the campus. There were huge buildings scattered everywhere and a lake with some ducks swimming in it. There were three dorms buildings, three class buildings and outdoor fields for almost any sport you could think of. There was an auditorium and a library. Yes! A library! That's where I'll be most of the time.

I found my building. Carved into the top above the huge wooden doors read Twilight Building. The building was made of red bricks and tannish rock outlined the doors and the edges of the building and all the windows. It looked pretty medieval. I pulled into a parking spot in between a red convertible and a silver Volvo. Next to the convertible was huge red jeep. Next to the Volvo was a bright yellow Porsche. I took off my jacket because it kind of hot. My blue tank top would work just fine. I grabbed my carryon bag and the folder and made my way to the building. I took the elevator up to the fifth floor after reading the inventory posted on the wall next to the door. There were twelve rooms on each floor. The building had ten floors. That's a hundred and twenty rooms. Damn, that's a lot of people, I thought.

"57…58…59…hmm, here we go 60." The room was at the end of the hall. I turned the brass doorknob and opened the door. I gasped. This room was three times bigger than the one I was in at the other school. It had three beds lined against a wall. There was a bathroom to my right and a small kitchen next to it. I walked further in and saw a little couch and loveseat surrounding a table and flat screen T.V. mounted on the wall. There were three doors on another wall and one of them was open. I heard some rustling in it. All of a sudden a white and black blur came right towards me. It enveloped me in a tight hug. I cringed because of my ribs and the fact that I felt like I was being attacked by some unknown being.

"Can't…breathe…" The blur let go. I wrapped my arms around myself, catching my breath.

"Sorry." I heard a sing song voice say. I looked up and saw a pixie-like girl with black spiky hair smiling hugely at me. She was really pretty and she had what looked to be designer clothes on. "I'm Alice."



"I'm Bella." I said after I finished catching my breath. I heard the door open behind me and a blonde girl walked in. She had an hour-glass figure and designer clothes. I didn't even want to think about how much all that cost.

"Alice, I hope you didn't try to squeeze the life out of her." She said. Alice looked down at her feet, guilty. I blushed. Man, I hate it when I do that.

"She did." I said quietly.

"Sorry about her. She gets too excited sometimes. I'm Rosalie, you can call me Rose."

"Bella." I said.

"So you're our third roommate, huh?"

"I guess I am."

"Well, welcome to Phoenix High. You need any help settling in?"

"No. I only have two bags that are in my car."

"Well, I'll help you any way." Rose leaned in to whisper in my ear. "I don't like to be in here when Alice isn't done unpacking. She can be a little psycho."

"Hey!" Alice shrieked behind me. I laughed. We walked out of the room while Alice went back to her closet.

"So, where are you from?" Rose asked when we were on the elevator.

"Forks, Washington. You?"

"New York."

"Never been there before."

"Really?" She sounded offended.

"Yeah."

"Well, we're gonna have to fix that aren't we?" She smiled at me, her ocean blue eyes lighting up.

"You and Alice know each other pretty well, huh?" I asked. We reached the front doors and were headed to my car.

"Yeah, since we were babies. Her father is my dad's best friend. "

"That's nice." I unlocked the cars doors and Rosalie took one bag from one side and I the other.



"Yeah. She's my best friend, like a sister. But she can get a little overexcited sometimes. She's a shopaholic, too. She takes the phrase 'shop till you drop' very seriously." I laughed again. We were back on the elevator again.

"You guys been here a long time?"

"Since ninth grade. I'm a senior this year and Alice is a junior. "

"I'm a junior too."

"So I guess you'll be here with her next year to, then?"

"I guess." We were back in the room again. Alice was sitting on the couch flipping through the channels on the T.V.

"Alice has that end bed and I have the other one. So, I guess you get the middle. Same with the closets, too."

"Thanks." I took my bags and went to the closet. It was a walk-in closet. It was HUGE. I don't have that many clothes. I unpacked my clothes, hanging things on hangers and putting things in drawers. I took out my digital clock and plugged it in next to my bed. I needed to get some sheets for my bed and pillows, too.

"Hey, Bella?" I turned around and Alice was standing behind me, smiling. "We're going shopping for some things for the room and then meet up the guys, later. You wanna come?" Guys? What guys? I do need to get some things. I'll have to see how money I have.

"Sure, just let me grab my bag and we can leave."

"Okay." I grabbed my bag and put my wallet and car keys in it, along with the room key.

"You guys ready?" I said. Rosalie came out of the bathroom and Alice popped up out of her closet.

"Let's go!" She was so enthusiastic. I laughed again. Rose rolled her eyes.

When we got outside I wasn't sure if they had cars or not until Rose said "Convertible or Porsche?"

"Those are you're cars?" I gaped at them. They laughed.

"I have the Porsche and Rose has the convertible."

"I have that one." I pointed to my car right in front of us.

"You do?" Alice asked. I nodded. "Well, then, let's take yours."

"Okay. But I don't know where the mall or anything is, so either you tell me how to get there or one of you drive."



"I'll drive." Alice shrieked. I took my keys out my bag and handed them to her.

"I call shotgun." Rose said.

We all climbed in and took off. I thought I was going to have a heart attack with the way Alice drives. She was well over the legal speed limit. Somewhere around 90 mph! I was practically glued to the seat. I was surprised we didn't get a ticket. She pulled into the closet parking spot to the mall.

"Bella, you can get out now." She laughed. I blushed, yet again. I'm sure my face was horrified. I got out and we made our way to the mall.

3 hours, 20 stores, 26 bags, and 1 stop to rest later we finally went back to the car.

"Damn! Rose you were right. She IS a shopaholic." She laughed as we loaded the bags into the trunk. We bought a microwave for the kitchen and utensils and pots and plates and cups and bowls. We each got three sheet sets. Alice bought me more clothes, even though I argued with her not to. I gave in. She gave me the puppy dog eyes. I'm such a pushover. I managed to get her to buy me long sleeved shirts and jeans. I didn't want them to see the bruises that hadn't faded away yet. I hadn't spent any money. The only thing I bought was the gas on the way back. We tried to bring as many bags up at time as we could but we still had to go back to the car. Alice organized my closet. She was pretty fast with it too. Rose hooked up the microwave. It was close to seven p.m. I threw myself on my now covered with midnight blue and baby blue striped bed sheets. I was exhausted and hungry.

"We're gonna go meet the guys now, Bella. So get ready." Alice told me.

"Okay." I went to the bathroom and splashed some water on my face. My stomach growled. I realized I hadn't eaten since I got off the plane.

"Where are we meeting them?" Rose asked when I walked out of the bathroom.

"At that pizza place on fifth street." Alice said. Rose went in the bathroom and Alice walked up to me and stared up my face. She smiled.

"What?"

"I have an idea. Rose, hurry up! We're gonna fix Bella up a little." Fix Bella up a little? I didn't like the sound of that. She grabbed my arm as Rose came out of the bathroom.

"Rose, get that bag out of my closet." Alice sat me on the toilet, away from the mirror. Rose came in with a black bag. She pulled out all different kinds of makeup. I gaped.

"No! Alice, I don't wear makeup. Don't do this to me." I whined.

"We're not gonna make you look like a clown. We're just gonna freshen you up a bit." Alice explained. Rose left and came back a few seconds later with one of the shorts Alice bought me and some jeans. The shirt was a long sleeved blue baby doll shirt and the jeans were dark denim with rhinestone designs along the pant legs. They left so I could change and came back in when I called them to do my makeup, 

even though I hadn't wanted any. Twenty minutes later they told me to look in the mirror. I gasped. That couldn't be me. My hair was down and looked the same but shinier after Alice sprayed some stuff in it and my eyes seemed to glow with the black eyeliner and eye shadow that matched the shirt. They said I didn't need any blush since that came natural. And of course I blushed crimson when they said that.

"Wow." I breathed.

"We knew you'd like it." Alice said with a smug look on her face. I rolled my eyes at her.

"Let's go. You know how Emmet gets when he can't eat." Rose said. I grabbed my bag and we headed out. The Volvo and the big jeep were gone. We took Alice's Porsche this time. I closed my eyes when I got into the backseat. Rose and Alice laughed. I blushed again but didn't open my eyes. I felt the car moved but any slightly. I knew when we were there because Alice slammed on the brakes. Hard. I had to quickly steady myself so my face wouldn't collide with the headrest of the seat Rose was sitting in. I got out shakily and steadied myself using the hood of the car.

We were at a pizza place called Fobio's Pizza. Alice and Rose each linked their arms with either of mine. We walked into the pizzeria. It smelled of cheese. There were tables everywhere and they all were just about occupied. There was a big burly guy with brown curly hair that waved us over. The girls pulled over quickly. Sitting next to the burly one was a taller guy. He had the same hair and eyes as Rose. Leaning against the wall on the other side of the burly one was the most beautiful person I'd ever seen. His messy bronze hair hung graciously over his eyes and his chest was very defined by the green button down shirt he was wearing.

He looked completely at ease sitting there. His face was like Michelangelo's David, but better. But the most beautiful thing about him was his eyes. Emerald green and glorious. They shined like stars in the night sky. They seemed to get brighter when they met mine. I felt a tingling sensation in the pit of my stomach. They drew me closer. I got lost in them. I didn't want to look away. I didn't think I ever could…..

Will she ever look away? Will she ever regain her composure before she blushes and unseen shade of red? You'll find out when the next chapter comes. Beta-reader needed. Constructive criticism accepted. I'm going to try Edward's POv. I'm scared I won't do him justice but I can sure as hell try.
