A/N: I want to say sorry if I got anything wrong in the last chapter or the next chapters. I'm not American so not sure about distances etc and college life.
This chapter is kind of a filler, after a couple of chapters it will get better
Chapter 8: college –the first step
BPOV
I didn't really have to do much to get ready for college since I was still going to be living at home. I had decided that if I had enough money I would move out of home and rent somewhere nearby. I had thought of Alice and how brave she was to move away from home.

Once Alice and I had settled in we decided to check out the campus and get acquainted with where our classes would be. This proved to be helpful since neither Alice nor I got lost. I loved the campus. It was in LA, in the centre of everything.
The theatre was huge! My classes were fun and exciting. I was studying Theatre and performance studies. I had decided to try acting as well as music. My professors had told us that we were lucky that we were studying in LA because there was a better chance that we would get a job at the end. I had gotten a job at a local restaurant to play piano. This paid my way through college.
I was lucky that our flat had a piano in it. I knew dad must have made sure there was one, so I could practice. When I played piano it was like I was in another world, it calmed me. Alice liked my music as well. I was starting to compose and I had recently written music for my mum. I enjoyed my job at the restaurant; it was great to get money for doing something I loved.
College parties were awesome. I had decided not to join a fraternity, I was never really into the big party scene, but I still enjoyed a good party.
College was fun and I was starting to enjoy the acting part. It was interesting and my professors told me I was a natural. I had decided to try out for a play at college and I got the lead. Alice was ecstatic for me.
"Wow Edward! I can't believe you got the lead. Who got the female lead?"
"Some girl called Jessica, I've never met her before."
"Oh, I've heard about her. All the guys in my classes talk about her all the time. I think she's the girl every guy wants to be with."
Wow, I thought. I just got the male in lead in the college play and the female lead was the 'it' girl. I had heard rumours about her but never actually knew her name. Alice was right, every guy on campus was talking about her and wanted to be with her.

College went pretty quickly for me. I had moved out of home after my first year and found my own apartment close to home. Mum was sad when I left but knew that it was for the best. We made plans to have dinner every Friday night, but I saw her nearly everyday.
I had enjoyed college. My classes were good. I learnt a lot about writing, and found myself writing for the college paper. I also found a job at the local newspaper. I had enjoyed my time there. I was on the news desk, and I got to write about the local political situation, which I liked. I would have preferred to be the reviewer of books and movies but they already had someone.
College parties were much better then high school. The frat parties were interesting. There was a lot of alcohol involved. Most of the parties were 'keg' parties. I didn't drink much but enjoyed watching people around me.
I had some really nice people in my classes but did not have any real friends. I was still figuring out whom I could trust. After my experience with Mike, I was more cautious when it came to trusting people.
