Hello everyone! Nia and I bring you a long chapter. :) How could we not make it long? I mean, this is COLLEGE! And first things first when you arrive at College. Dorm assignments. We hope you enjoy this chapter.
Nia's Author's Note: So, they're in college! Here's the latest chapter, which is nice and long for you to read :) I wrote Emmett's POV and I'd just like to apologize for my er...misplaced name jokes. I'm too easily amused! Though, Sarah's got the best joke out of them all in here, it made my day! Enjoy.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If any of you remember, Blue Babes and Bad Boys was orginially set in the 1953, but NOW it is set in 1968. It's much easier and fun. Thank you.

I stared out the window, the blurry scenery making me a little dizzy. Alice sat nex to us, reading an old fashion magazine over Jasper's head, which laid sleepily on Alice's thighs. Rosalie sat in the front, checking her nails, bored. Emmett drove the car, going at a 110 km/h, humming to whatever song came on the radio, whether he knew it or not. A new song came on the radio, and suddenly Emmett's humming became louder.
"Emmett, you've been humming for the past two hours. Can you just shut up for a minute please?" Rosalie asked, massaging her head with one hand.
"Come on Rose, I'm not that loud." Emmett reasoned.
"Emmett, your whispering is a normal person talking, which makes you're humming sound like a normal person singing." Rosalie explained.
"Oh come on Rose, it really isn't that bad. In fact, I love this song!" Alice exclaimed. " If everybody had an ocean
Across the U. S. A.
Then everybody'd be surfin'
Like Californi-a
You'd seem 'em wearing their baggies
Huarachi sandals too
A bushy bushy blonde hairdo" Alice sang as she leaned forward and ruffled Rosalie's hair.
"Hey!" Rosalie scowled.
"Surfin' U. S. A." Emmett and Alice sang.
"You'd catch 'em surfin' at Del Mar
Ventura County line
Santa Cruz and Trestle
Australia's Narrabeen
All over Manhattan
And down Doheny Way" Emmett sang, his voice much more deep than Alice's, which was kinda funny.
"Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A." They sang once again together. I swear I could see fume coming out of Rosalie's ears. Rosalie leaned forward and smacked the button of the radio, instantly turning it off. Alice's eyes widened, while Emmett's head stopped moving. Silence had taken over the car. Rosalie sighed in satisfaction.
"Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S. A." A sleepy voice muttered. Everyone except Emmett turned their attention to Jasper, whose eyes were still closed.
"Jazz?" Alice whispered. No response. Alice and I giggled lightly.
"How much longer?" I asked.
"One more hour, love." Edward replied. Only one more hour, and we would finally be at Forks College.
Bella's Pov
After three hours of driving, we finally arrived at Forks University. We all jumped out of Emmett's jeep, excited to finally be able to stretch our legs. I got out of the jeep and looked around, at my new home. The campus was nice, and really big. I made a mental note to make sure I got a map. There were three main buildings. The one in the middle was the main one. It was made of red bricks and had a white roof. There was only one window, which was located on top of the door. On either side of the building were similar ones, but bigger. I didn't know the purpose of them. All I knew was that my classes would be located in these large buildings. Compared to some university's, Fork's wasn't very big. It didn't shock me much, usually people went for bigger place's, and places far from their homes.
"Think they have a mall around here?" Alice asked. Jasper rolled his eyes and wrapped his arms around his girlfriend.
"I'm sure you'll be able to find one somewhere around here, Alice." He assured her, kissing her cheek. Alice blushed lightly and grinned.
"Man, this place is huge!" Emmett shouted. A couple students walking by looked at him strangely.
"Already setting a reputation for yourself." Rosalie muttered.
"Well, let's go find out our room assignment." Edward said. We all nodded and headed towards the main building. The front of the campus was just as I had imagined it would be. Filled with all sorts of different cliques. The jocks, the preps, the artsy students, the druggies, the dorks. It kinda felt as if we were starting high school all over again. But I knew this was going to be totally different. Jasper opened the door to the main building and held it open for us.
As I stepped inside, I noticed the walls were covered in different paintings, but none I recognized. Edward took my hand and guided us to the front desk. The women at the desk typed furiously, her eyes fixed on the screen. Emmett coughed loudly, trying to get her attention. The women sighed loudly and brought her attention to us.
"Hello, welcome to Forks University. My name is Miss Hardwicke, how may I help you?" She asked, though she didn't sound like she cared for our problems.
"Hello, my name is Edward Masen, and my friends and I were wondering where we could find our room assignments." Edward said.
"Please go to student services. Go to the left wing, make a right, then continue down the hallway until you see a door with student services written on it." She replied.
"Thank you." Edward said. We followed Miss Hardwicke's directions, and finally, we found the room. Edward opened the door.
The room was large, and half filled. People sat in chairs, talking queitly with one another. We walked over to the front desk. The woman working there was at the other end of the desk, talking with a man. Emmett did his job once again. The women jumped slightly, and looked back towards us. Her eyes widened and she rolled back her chair to us.
"Hello, welcome to student services. My name is Miss Young, how may I help you?" She asked.
"Hello, my name is Edward Masen. My friends and I were wondering what our room numbers were?"
Miss Young looked at Edward in a daze for a moment before snapping back into reality. I sighed a little. That was something I would never be able to get used to.
"Oh. Uhm, boys, you will have to go to block 3. You must meet your supervisor Kaleb for your room numbers." She informed us.
"Why?" Edward asked, confused. Miss Young sighed.
"Kaleb likes do to things...differently." She said.
"Okay.." Edward said. He turned his back to her and faced us.
"Well, I guess we gotta separate for now. How about we set a time and place to meet?" He suggested.
"Okay. How about we meet infront of the main building at," I looked over at the clock on the wall. 12:30. "5:00?"
"Sounds good. See you then." Edward leaned down and pressed his lips to mine quickly. Once the boys were gone, we brought our attention back to Miss Young.
"Name?" She asked.
"Rosalie Hale."
Miss young typed Rosalie's name into the computer. After a minute, she got up from the desk and went into a back room. She came back with a key.
"Room 553, block 9." Miss young told Rosalie. Rose nodded and moved out of the way. Alice allowed me to go next. I gave Miss Young my information. The wait seemed almost unbearable. Miss Young went to the back room and came back with a key.
"Room 553, block 9." She said, handing me the key. I grinned and thanked her. Only one more to go. Alice walked up to the desk and did the same thing we all had done before. Once the woman came back, she handed Alice a key.
"Room 553, block 9." She said. Alice squealed, and quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
"Let's go find our room!" Alice whispered.
We all nodded and walked out of the room. We rushed through the hallway, grabbing a map from a table on our way. Our dorm was located on the right of the right of the campus. We walked to the right of the campus until we finally found a building with the numbers of the blocks it had in it. Block 9 was one of the blocks. We all grinned and walked into the building. As soon as we got in, a sign was on the wall, with arrows pointing in what direction the blocks were. Ours was all the way at the end of the building, on the first floor. We walked all the way to the last door of the building, and on the door, a big plaque confirmed that this was our room. Room 553.
"This is it." I sighed.
"Don't just stand there! Open the door!" Alice said. I took a deep breath and did as I was told. I opened the door. And there it was. And this was room was huge. Huge for three people to live in. We walked into the dorm.
"Oh my god! Look at this place!" Alice shriek. The room was pained beige and had white carpet everywhere. There was a little kitchen, and a little living room. We all wandered over to where the bedrooms were. We gasped when we saw that there were only two. Which meant one of us got their own room. Both doors were closed. Alice barged into one room.
"Mine!" She called. I looked over at Rose quickly, and I knew what she was going to do. I reacted quickly and opened the door next to me. I gasped.
A girl stood there, a bag on the bed. She looked over at us.
"Hi?" She said. Rosalie came by my side, followed by Alice.
"Hi." We all said at the same time.
"Um.. I'm Leah Clearwater.. And you are?" She asked.
"Uh.." I started. Luckily Rosalie came to the rescue.
"I'm Rosalie Hale, this is Bella Swan, and she's Alice Brandon." Rosalie said.
"Guess you guys are my roommates." Leah sighed. "Great." She muttered, hoping we wouldn't hear.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Rosalie snapped.
"Nothing." Leah growled. They stared at eachother for a long moment.
"So whos sleeping in this room?" Leah asked.
"Uh.. I guess I am." I said. Alice had already claimed a room, and I knew if Rosalie stayed with Leah, they'd end up ripping each others heads off.
"Whatever." She shrugged, turning her attention back to her luggage.
"Shall we go back to the jeep and get our stuff ladies?" Alice asked. Rose and I nodded. I closed the door behind me. Once we were out in the hallway, we all took a deep breath.
"Can you believe that girl?" Rosalie said.
"Relax Rose, maybe she was nervous." Alice reasoned.
"Nervous my ass Alice. I have a bad feeling about that girl."
"Let's just wait a couple days before assuming things." I sighed. We walked back to the jeep and got all of our luggage. We had to make a couple trips back and forth, until finally, everything was in our dorm. I brought all my bags to my room. Leah laid on her bed, reading a book. I walked over to the other bed and dropped my suitcase on it. I opened it and started to unpack.
"She hates me doesn't she?" Leah asked. Her voice shocked me, causing me to jump a little. I looked over at her, and really looked at her. She had long brown hair that fell all the way to the middle of her back. Her skin was tanned, a tan so dark it would take hours for me to get to the color. Her eyes were also brown. She was very tall, probably 5'8, her features were Native. She was beautiful.
"No. That's typical Rosalie behavior. Don't worry about it, she'll get over it." I reassured her.
"Oh. Okay." She said. We sat in silence for a moment.
"So where you from?" I asked. If she was going to be my roommate, I'd have to learn more about her.
"La Push." She said. I froze for a moment.
"Really?" I asked. She nodded. I laughed a little.
"Why?" She asked.
"Oh it's nothing. I just know a couple people from La Push."
"Who?"
" Quil Ateara, Paul Mendel, Embry Call and Sam Uley." I listed their names. Leah stiffened.
"You know Sam?" She asked.
"Yeah.. Why?"
"Oh no reason." She said. I knew this was a lie. But I didn't say anything. "Paul's a cool guy. He might come down and visit sometimes." She told me.
"Awesome." I said. "Do you miss home?" I asked.
"Yeah. I miss Nessie." She sighed.
"Nessie?"
"She's my pet frog. She's green. She kinda reminded me of the lochness monster, so I named her Nessie." She explained.
"Cool.." I said. I turned around and put my shirts in my dresser.
Suddenly, Rosalie burst through the door.
"We are going to Block 3, wanna come?" She asked.
"Sure. Want to come, Leah?" I asked her.
"No thanks, I have to go meet up with my friend." She said. I shrugged and went with Rose.
"Good." She muttered. Alice met up with us and we walked out of the room and made our way towards block 3.
Emmett POV
"Alright guys, listen up!" Our supervisor yelled as we stood in the middle of Block 3.
Mostly everyone's attention went straight to him. The rest were eyeing up our girls, who had just sauntered through the block in order to say hi to us – but they'd obviously been sidetracked as we were still being assigned our rooms.
Bella and Alice waved at us and Rosie winked.
She was such a vixen – how did I get so lucky?! I watched as they sauntered off, and then redirected my attention.
"First of all, welcome to Forks University! I'm Kaleb, and I'm your supervisor. You come and talk to me whenever, I'm always awake!"
I chuckled at this, and a few people looked at me.
"Okay, so I've got a list of your rooms and room-mates here. When I call your name and room, you better take your crap and start walking, we need to get this done quick."
I chuckled and even more people stared at me!
Dudes, I know you want me but I don't roll that way! I said to myself, hoping I could keep my thoughts out of my mouth for once.
"Okay then. In room 198, Block 3 are Jacob Green, Seth Murkywater, Simon Oakley and Bryan Plum." Kaleb handed the giant who I assumed was Jacob the room key, and they scampered off.
I snickered. "Edward man, this is gonna kill me! Murkywater? Plum?"
"Shut up Emmett, people are looking!" He hissed. I swear, that guy had worse PMT than Rosalie!
"Okay then, in room 199, Block 3, are Ned Cook, Ryan Jenkins, Laurent Gazier and Holland Barrett."
Okay, Ned Cook was the worst out of those – the Laurent guy looked French so it wasn't funny. Shame.
"And in room 200, Block 3, are Quil Ateara, Rowan King, Sam Uley and Callum Lewis."
Kaleb carried on talking for a bit, and a few more names came up that made me chuckle, but other than that, I zoned out.
"In room 214, Block 3, are Emmett McArty, Edward Masen, Jasper Whitlock and James Lucas."
"Thanks Kaleb man!" I said, hoisting the key out of his waiting hand. "C'mon boys!"
James Lucas was a tanned guy, with blond hair. It was longer than Jaspers, tied back in a short ponytail. He looked like someone I could be friends with.
"Hey James," I held out my hand. "I'm Emmett. Looks like you'll be rooming with us then!"
"Nice to meet you, Emmett." He said, flashing me a smile that would easily win over a lady.
Jasper introduced himself next. "Jasper Whitlock. Nice to meet you, James."
"And yourself." James said.
Edward was the last to introduce himself, but I got the vibe he wasn't sure about James. "Edward Masen."
"Nice to meet you Ed," James said, his eyes narrowing a little at Edward's cold greeting.
"Dudes, I think we're here!" I said, coming in at the nick of time.
"Great," Jasper and James said at the same time.
"Looks like we've got a wavelength going on," James chuckled.
Jasper and I started up a chorus of "Everybody's gone surfing, Surfin' USA!"
"That's what you call a wavelength!" I said, putting the key in our door and opening it.
Our room looked pretty cool – there was a little kitchen and a small living room...and by the looks of it, two bedrooms and a bathroom.
"Who's sharing rooms?" Edward said darkly. He sounded really...not good.
"I'll room with Edward, if you guys don't mind?" I said straight away, wanting to make sure my best friend was okay...and to keep him away from James.
"Of course not," Jasper said, having taken a liking to James already.
"Yep, it'll be the 'J' room!" James laughed, walking into the room on the right, Edward already having staked the left.
Jasper paused before walking in. "Ask him what's wrong, 'kay Em? He's being an ass."
"I don't know what's wrong with him..." I said worriedly. "He doesn't look okay."
Jasper gave me a half smile and patted me on the back. "Make sure he's okay, big guy."
I chuckled and went into the room that Edward and I would be occupying. Edward was sitting at the edge of the bed by the corner, with his head in his hands. I shut the door behind me.
"Edward? Are you okay man? You were being really...weird, out there."
He looked up at me, and there was something in his eyes that I couldn't work out. But he looked angry.
"I'm not okay, Em. I don't like this James guy."
"Why?" I asked, lowering my voice. "He's great!"
"No," Edward insisted. "I don't like him, he seems...untrustworthy. And I think I saw him looking at Bella earlier."
"Dude," I sighed, seeing the problem. "You can't have a grudge against anyone who has a thing for Bella. She's a good looking girl! If I wasn't in love with Rose and she wasn't your girl, I'd go for her too!"
Edward shook his head. "No, that's not it. He was looking at her like...she was a piece of meat."
I smiled, and clapped him on the shoulder. "You'll get over it, Eddie boy. Bella's yours, and James is a great guy."
He looked disbelieving, but nodded his head anyway. "I guess."
"Let's start unpacking, bro. I am exhausted, and we've gotta meet the girls later!"
We unpacked our cases in silence, but I tried to keep it from becoming awkward by humming Surfing USA – damn, I love that song!
Surfing USA – The Beach Boys
