Boys, Meet Girls

I made my way towards my dorm, after paying the guy in the cab for driving me here from the airport. I had just flown here from Chicago, and I was kind of tired. When I got to the far side of room 814, I opened it and stepped in, dropping my stuff in exhaustion on the floor.

I was 6'2", with messy auburn hair, emerald green eyes, and pale skin. I was pretty well built, but it was lean muscle. I had well defined features, and my fingers were long, being good for what I did best, play piano.

I saw that my roommate from last year, Jasper Hale, was already there. We greeted each other, and talked a bit, and while he was telling me what he did this past summer I glanced at my watch. It was 6:55, and the assembly was at 7:00.

"Shit." I said.

"What?" Jasper asked me.

Jasper was a really calm, cool guy. He was 6'3", with blond chin length hair, icy blue eyes, and pale skin. He was a bit more muscular than me, and he played football with me on the school team.

"We have five minutes to get dressed and into the auditorium, or else we'll get a detention."

We rushed to get dressed in our uniforms, which consisted of a white long-sleeved shirt (we usually rolled the sleeves up), black slacks, a black and blue striped tie, and any type of shoes we wanted. I chose some green madras vans and a wristband that said "Make music not war", and Jasper chose some Sailor Jerry high-tops and a black and white checkered wristband.

We rushed to the auditorium and looked around. I spotted my cousin, T.J, and his friend Garrett, with two extra seats next to them. They were sophomores, and I had asked him to save me and Jasper some seats. T.J was a little taller than me, about 6'4" with brown messy hair and cerulean blue eyes. He was well built and pale. Garrett was even taller then him at 6'5" with short strawberry blond hair and sea-foam green eyes. He was kind of burly and also pale. They played football with us, too.

We made our ways towards them and greeted them. We talked about our summers, and I asked T.J how my aunt and uncle were doing down in Texas. Then, Headmaster Carlisle came up to the podium and turned on the microphone.

"I am sorry for the delay. The people I'm going to introduce to you today aren't here yet, for some reason. So, how was everyone's summer?" He asked us.

Suddenly, the back door flew open and hit the wall. I couldn't tell who it was because we were in the front, but, as they were walking down the aisle towards the stage, every once in a while we would hear gasps come from guys' mouths. As the people came up the aisle, I couldn't hold back the gasp that escaped my lips. Apparently, Garrett, T.J, and Jasper couldn't hold it in either.

Four beautiful girls were walking down the aisle towards the stage. In the front were two redheaded twins, one with a mini-mohawk and one with wavy hair. They were really short and undoubtedly gorgeous, but I wasn't really attracted to them. The next two were different, still gorgeous, but definitely sisters. One was a bit taller than the twins, with pixyish features and black spiked up hair. But the one next to her was the one I couldn't take my eyes off of.

She was perfect. She had long brown hair in two adorable pigtails and warm brown eyes that had depth to them. She looked about 5'4", and she too was pale like me, though you could compare her skin to ivory, it looked so smooth. She had all the right curves, and her lips were lush. The shirt hinted at her perfect torso, and the skirt showed off her long legs.

I couldn't help but notice, as I practically tore my eyes off her, the way T.J, Jasper, and Garrett were staring at the girls. They were all looking at a different girl. Jasper was looking at the pixyish girl, T.J was staring at the twin with the mini-mohawk, and Garrett was gawking at the twin with wavy hair.

They sat down on chairs they had on the stage, and I pretty much zoned out to what Carlisle was saying and just stared at the personification of beauty who was obviously not paying attention. I didn't start listening to what he was saying until they stood up.

"These girls will be joining us this school year. If the first few months that they are here are alright, we will start construction on a girls' dorm building. Isabella and Alice Swan, will be in the junior class," he gestured towards the brunettes, "and Olivia and Danielle Swan will be in the sophomore class." He pointed to the twins.

Then, he said something to them that we couldn't hear because he wasn't speaking into the microphone and in response they all hugged him.

Then the straight-haired twin yelled, "Bye Uncle Carlisle!" as they all exited through the stage doors. He turned back to us, and started talking again. I listened this time.

"Gentlemen, though sometimes I am unaware of some of the things that go on around this campus, I am not unobservant." Where was he was going with this?

"These girls are like daughters to me, and no offense to you guys, but I take what they say more seriously. I believe that you should always treat women with respect. So, if I hear any complaints from them about any indecent behavior directed towards them, there will be consequences."

The guys and me all thought the same thing, I wonder if I have a chance with her. Will she like me? Will she be in any of my classes? We were all very quiet after he stopped speaking.

After that we were dismissed to go to our rooms and settle in. All I could think about was that girl, I couldn't get her out of my head, and I didn't even know her name!

When Jasper and I got to the dorm, I noticed that T.J and Garrett were the next dorm down, in dorm 816.

I flopped down on the bed in my room and closed my eyes, just listening. That's when I heard it. It was really pretty. Someone was singing, and it was a girl. It was coming from the bathroom.

I walked silently towards the door and put my ear to it, listening intently.

I don't even know you.
You won't even know I'm gone.
Was it something I did wrong?

Roses, roses cold.
Roses, roses sold out.

Sing it soft.
Make it slow.
Apples parachute
the boys back down.
Fill it up.
Overflow.
A new, improved modern way to feel.

I don't even know you.
You won't even know I'm gone.
Was it something I did wrong?

I walked into the bathroom, thinking I could wash my face and hands and not get caught. I walked into the bathroom, closing the door silently, and turned on the sink, first, washing my hands, and then washing my face.

As I was drying off my face, I heard the shower door open. I put the washcloth down, and gasped. It was the gorgeous brunette that I couldn't stop thinking about.

She must've heard my gasp because she turned around and looked straight at me. I turned around quickly and searched for something other than "your beautiful" to say.

"Um, I'm so sorry; I didn't know you were in there."

I nearly smacked myself in the forehead. Was that all I could think of to say?! I turned around again to say something, but she beat me to it.

"Oh, it's okay, as long as it was an accident. I know a few that would come in here on purpose to try and see me naked. Just, give me like five minutes to get dressed and to get my sister, so we can introduce ourselves."

All I could do was nod and try to keep my eyes from straying to places that wouldn't be appropriate.

"Hey Jasper, come here and meet our new dormmates." I called out so that Jasper could freak out just and much as I did.

He came in and waited with me for a few minutes before I heard them start to come towards us.

"Alice, get out here and come and meet our dormmates!" They came in shortly after that, and the black haired one stuck her hand out but before she could say anything, her sister said something else.

"Jasper?! Oh my god, I didn't know that you went to school here!" She hugged him, and I felt a surge of unfamiliar jealousy course thru me.

"Bella, you know him?" I'm guessing, Alice said to Bella. What a beautiful name for a beautiful girl.

"Oh yeah, that's right you weren't there that day. This is Jasper Hale, he's Rose's brother."

"Oh, well it's very nice to meet you, Jasper."

Holding her hand out to shake and giving a sultry, yet somehow innocent, look to him, staring at him right in the eyes. He looked back in her eyes with so much intensity, that not only I, but Bella, too, looked away. She held her hand out to me and smiled. She had an absolutely stunning smile.

"It's very nice to meet you. I'm Isabella Swan, but, please, call me Bella."

I decided to up the gentleman act. I grabbed her hand, but instead of shaking it, I brought it up to my lips and, while looking straight into her eyes, kissed it softly, and said, "Edward Mason."

At my greeting, she blushed beautifully, and murmured, "Nice to meet you."

After the assembly, Edward, Jasper, Garrett, and I made our way back to the dorm building after assembly. They obviously had something on their minds, I knew I did.

I couldn't get that girl out of my head. She was beyond any girl I had ever seen, though. She looked much shorter than me, a little over 5' tall, with the most perfect body, and I mean, perfect. She had all the right curves in the right places, and her hair was in an edgy mini-mohawk, which was balanced out by the sweetness of her eyes, which were a robin-egg blue. But I think the best part was her smile. It just lit up her whole face, making her even more beautiful.

Edward and Jasper went into their dorm, number 814, which was right next to ours, dorm 816. Garrett and I went into our dorm and pretty much crashed after taking off our uniforms.
