A/N: Hey guys…I'm baack! It's been almost two years…geez. Sorry to the people who were actually reading this, I really hated putting this on hold but I've just had some extra time and I figured I would start this again! Of course, reviews are awesome, and they make me write more. Thanks for your patience and I hope you enjoy the rest of this story!
"So, Bella, tell me about yourself."
"Well…what do you want to know?"
"Everything," Edward said, still looking straight ahead, smirking.
"Hmm…there's not much to know about me. I lived in Phoenix for a few years before I moved to Washington. I didn't play any sports…I'm way too clumsy," I told him, blushing.
"What about your parents?"
Crap.
My breathing sped up, and I really had no idea what to tell him. In Forks, everyone had known what happened to my parents. I never had to explain. What do I say?
"They, um, died ten years ago."
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Bella," he apologized sincerely, giving me a sympathetic look.
"It's fine," I said, trying to shake it off as best as I could. I could tell he was curious and he wanted to know more, but I just couldn't talk about it right now. The last thing I wanted to be doing my first night in Virginia was to be crying about my dead parents to some guy I had met forty-five minutes ago. "What about you? Tell me about yourself."
"Just turned nineteen. Lived in Charlottesville my whole life. Got a scholarship to Roanoke for soccer. It's my second year here."
"Soccer, huh? Are you liking it here?"
"Definitely," he nodded. "It's a great school. The professors are awesome, and I have a lot of friends. You're gonna love it."
I sure hope so…
Soon enough, we had arrived to the college. This was the first time I had seen it, and it was definitely love at first sight. The school was smack dab in the middle of a quaint downtown area, with lots of cute, aged houses. The brick buildings gave the college a homey feelings; not intimidating like most of the colleges in Washington.
"Welcome home, Bella," Edward said, parking his car outside the main building. "We just have to get your schedule and stuff, and then I'll show you to your dorm."
I followed him up the brick sidewalk, into the double doors, leading into the open lobby. We walked up to the counter, where a middle-aged blond woman was sitting.
"May I help you?" she asked, pushing her dark rimmed glasses up her nose.
"My name is Isabella Swan; I need my schedule and dorm key."
She nodded, turning towards her computer. With a few clicks of the keyboard on her laptop, my schedule was printed, and she left the room for a moment to get my key.
"You'll be staying in Bartlett Hall, second floor. I'm sure Edward would be happy to show you the way," she said, nodding towards Edward.
"Yes ma'am, of course," he smiled at her and started walking out towards to door. I followed quickly behind.
"Thank you!"
Edward and I hopped back in the car, and slowly drove back to my new dorm. I was sure to take in all my surroundings, for the times that I wouldn't have anyone to show me around. Looking at my schedule, I realized that I had several classes in a large, white bricked building we passed. I made a mental note to remember where this building was.
"Here we are!" Edward exclaimed, pulling into a nearby parking place. The building was old; probably built sometime in the 50's, but it looked pretty nice to me. I grabbed a few of my bags from the trunk, as did Edward, and we walked into the building.
To my left, there was a lounge, with three girls sitting around on a couch watching Criminal Minds. Straight ahead, there was a flight of stairs. We hurried up, wanting to get the unpacking done as soon as possible.
"215…" Edward said, looking at each door he passed. "Ah, here were go."
I took the key out of my pocket and stuck it in the keyhole, opening the door to my new life for the next four years.
"Home sweet home," I said sarcastically, taking in my surrounding. The dorm was definitely nothing special; the best part about it was the carpet. The walls were white and personally, I thought it looked like a jail. Two small beds were to my left, along with two desks right across from them. The room was…depressing, to say the least. Hopefully I could fix it up just a little bit.
"This is…nice," Edward said, snickering. I shot him a quick glare, and he put his hands up in defeat. He set my bags down on the small bed, and I did the same. "So, what bed is gonna be your's?"
"This one," I said, pointing to the bed closet to me. I wanted to be able to get out fast…if necessary. And thanks to Liz calling the dorm advisors; I wouldn't be having a roommate. Lucky them.
"Well, well, well, let's get unpacking!"
I sighed heavily, not looking forward to the hours ahead of unpacking and decorating. However, I was looking forward to spending an hour or two with one of the most gorgeous man I had ever laid eyes on…
A/N: Well…that's all for now! I hope you liked it. Sorry if my writing was a little rusty, haha. PLEEEASE review, I really want to know what yall think!
