Alright, thanks to the review from blackwolf2dragoon earlier, I realized how many mistakes I made lol. This is the edited work, hopefully I found everything. This is my first fanfic so I'm still getting used to the writing style. If anyone has pointers I'd love to hear them! They story is gonig to be a little slow at first to set everyone's place, but juiciness is coming I promise!!!

I sat up in my bed. My eyes were glued to the small, pixie like woman bouncing up and down in the doorway. She repeatedly screamed a high pitched "Eeeeeeee" sound and I thought the window was going to shatter any moment now.
"Bella, Bella, Bella" She had moved from the screeching noise to repeating my name over and over. I was stunned and wasn't sure what to do. I got off of my bed and as my feet hit the floor the pixie attacked me. She wrapped her tiny figure around me in a fierce hug and continued her bouncing. She was shorter than me with jet black hair spiked every which way.
"Bella it's sooo nice to finally meet you. I'm Alice but you probably already know that. Ha Ha. Oh my god, were going to have such a great school year! We're going to be the best of friends I have already seen it!" She squealed as she pulled out of the hug and started twirling herself around the room.
"Umm hi Alice, it's nice to meet you too." I crossed my arms and leaned against my bed. I watched as she began taking in the room. Her face turned into concentration and she started tapping her left foot. I heard her mumbling, "I don't want the bed near the window, I'll get too cold……I can put my desk in front of it, no no the desk will go at the foot of the bed… yea that's it…… the wardrobe is good where it is…….." As she was contemplating about the arrangement of her furniture, a tall guy with sandy blond hair entered the room carrying three duffel bags.
"Alice, where do you want your bags" he asked her gently as he stepped up in back of her.
"Oh Jazzy! I'm glad you found me alright. You can put them in the middle of the room. I need your muscles to move my bed against the wall so that it's the long way and almost meets where the window begins, then I need the desk pushed against the bottom of the bed so I can look out the window while studying." She looked up at him with puppy dog eyes and her lip stuck out just a bit to look like a pout. She was begging him silently and he melted like butter.
"Sure babe, anything you want" he said with a smile as he went to move the bed.
"Bella, this is Jasper, my boyfriend. Jasper, this is Bella, my roommate and soon to be best friend" she announced as she gestured to me like I was a prize on some game show.
"It's….nice….to meet you….Bella" Jasper gasped as he began pushing the bed against the wall. He was a tall and lean guy, nothing like the Emmett character from earlier. I could see myself getting along with him.
"Ok, the bed's good Jazz, now the desk has to go at the end of it so when I study I can…Alice, I know darlin' I heard you the first time" Jasper cut her off mid-sentence.
As he moved to the desk he looked at me, "When she gets excited she repeats herself, and believe me she's been excited since she got the letter in the mail that you were her roommate" he said softly.
Wow, she's been looking forward to seeing me? She didn't even know me yet and she's giving me hugs and planning our future together. This is not good. I can't let this go any farther. I don't want to hurt Alice; I haven't even known her for an hour yet and I already feel attached.
I watched as Jasper easily shuffled the desk and chair around, stood back and admired his handy work. He turned around to face Alice who gave him a hug, "thank you Jazz, you have been most helpful" she gave him a kiss and turned on her heel back toward the door.
Just then I heard a girl scream from the staircase, "EMMETT CULLEN, I swear to god if you drop any of my things by being stupid, I will destroy your X-box 360 as payback!"
"oh what's my dumbass brother doing now" Alice whined as she moved out into the common room. Jasper and I followed.
Emmett entered into the suite carrying so many bags he couldn't even see. He had two pink duffel bags hanging under each arm, a back pack attached to his back, a trunk in his arms with a TV on top of it.
I was amazed at what he could carry, and just stared as he stood there.
"Rose, baby, can you please open your door, I don't know how much longer I'm going to last" he pleaded.
A gorgeous blond girl came into view who looked like she was ready to kill anyone who got into her way, including Emmett.
"Well Em, if you weren't such a show off then you wouldn't be straining yourself right now." She walked slowly to her door and fidgeted with the key. A sly grin spread on her face as she took her sweet time opening the door. I glanced back at Emmett whose knees looked like they were ready to buckle under the weight.
The door swung open and Emmett rushed into the room. Jasper followed behind him to help get the TV off the trunk. Rosalie walked over to Alice and I. Suddenly I felt very nervous. She was stunningly beautiful and her confident walk told me she knew it. Her face was in a frown as she took me in. Compared to her I looked like a bimbo.
Alice smiled brightly at her. "Rose, this is Bella, Bella this is Rosalie Hale, Jasper's sister." I smiled a weak smile, "It's nice to meet you." She appraised me some more before she spoke, "we will see if it's nice. Alice, you still have a ton of shit in the truck, where the hell is Edward anyway?" She practically ignored me now. Well, that's one less person I need to worry about hurting.
Just as they spoke his name, Edward walked in carrying two blue storage bins. He walked toward us and my heart accelerated. I thought it was going to jump out of my chest. I began to fidget nervously and looked at the ground as he passed me and walked into my room.
"Alice, I brought your food bin, Rose, yours is here too" He said as he set the bins down, and took Alice's from the top. He slid it under her bed and out of the way. He then picked up the other one and headed toward Rose's room.
"Just put it under my bed and out of the way, I'll figure stuff out later" she yelled after him.
I didn't really know what to do with myself. Rose and Alice were giggling about her threat to Emmett's gaming system and the guys were headed back down to get more of the girls' things I assumed. I turned and walked back into my room and sat on my bed. I figured the less time I spent with them the less we got attached.
Jasper came back in with two more duffel bags and another blue bin. Alice followed him in. "I think this is it Alice. The rest is Rose's. I' going to head upstairs to 304 and situate my room. I'll back in a bit, ok?" He pulled her into another hug and kissed her neck.
"Sure Jazzy, I'll be here unpacking and chatting it up with Bella." She gave him a face nuzzle, which is the cutest thing I have ever seen.
I heard Emmett come out of Rose's room with Edward. "Were going to finish setting up our pad now that you ladies are all set. We'll be back when were finished for some lovin' from yea."
"The only loving you're going to get Emmett is Rose's fist against your jaw. Dude, she's so pissed at you for almost dropping her TV on the way up" Edward teased him.
"ehh, no worries. I'll make it up to her tonight" he grinned like a fool as he elbowed Edward in the ribcage and wiggled his eyebrows up and down.
"Jazz, you coming man. You can mack on my sis later, we have manly things to accomplish" he bellowed in a deep voice to emphasize the manliness as he strutted out of our suite. I laughed at his antics. Edward noticed my laugh and made his way toward my room.
"Alice, take it easy on Bella here. Don't overwhelm her you ball of energy" he pointed his finger at her as to reinforce what he said. She laughed, " yea yea" she mumbled.
He leaned on his forearms on my bed so he was at my level. "If she gets out of hand, just tell me ok? I'll tape her mouth up or something" he said loud enough so she could have heard, but didn't because she was to wrapped up in Jasper at the moment. My eyes met his and my thoughts became incoherent. It was as if I couldn't think straight when he was around me because I said something that surely was going to get me killed. "How am I supposed to do that? I have no way to contact you." My eyes grew big at what just came out of my mouth. I felt the blush spread over my cheeks.
Now I was double embarrassed for pretty much insinuating I wanted his number and for blushing furiously.
That crooked smile of his appeared at the sight of my embarrassment. "I can fix that. Where's your phone?" he asked me. I looked away as I reached under my pillow for my phone. When I looked back at him, he was still smirking. I handed him my phone without a peep. He took it and dialed what I assumed was his number. A few seconds later I heard the intro to Thunderstruck by AC/DC. I smiled at the ring tone because it was one of Charlie's favorite songs. Yea it was old school, but I loved it anyway.
He reached into his pocket and stopped the call as he handed me my phone back. "There, problem solved. Use it any time you need saving from her and trust me, you WILL need saving."
"Thanks, I'll keep your offer in mind" I smiled at the feeling of gratitude I felt for having an escape route from the ball of energy across the room. I heard Edward's breathe hitch and I looked up out of concern for him. I caught him staring at me with his chest heaving for air.
"Edward, are you ok?"
He snapped out of his gaze and looked at his hands on the bed. This time he was blushing, "yea, sorry I was just thinking about something" he explained.
"Hey Jasper, we better head upstairs before Emmett throws a tantrum." Edward ran his hand through his hair. I suddenly wanted to run my fingers through it too. Oh god really? You want to touch his hair? Come on get a grip. He turned and walked out of my room. I let out a breath that I didn't even realize I was holding. I felt a slight pang of loss at his absence and became solemn. I was caught off guard as Edward's head came swinging back around the door casing.
"Hey, I'll see yea later when I come down with the guys tonight" he said in an excited tone which only made me become excited. "Alright, yea I'll see you then," I smiled as I told him. His face fell again as his eyes bore into mine. He shook his head and disappeared again.
I looked over at Alice and Jasper who were saying their goodbyes for now. It was like they were separating for a long period of time, but really they live literally a floor level away.
"Alright Alice, I'll see you bit then darlin', See ya soon Bella" Jasper said as he exited our room. "Bye Jasper" I said quietly with a wave. I looked back at Alice and she had a dazed look with a lazy grin. "Alice? Are you ok?" I asked because she was scaring me a little. "What? Oh, I'm good, sorry. I do that sometimes. He's just so perfect Bella."
I looked at my hands and felt a sort of jealous feeling inside. I wish I felt that way about Jake. I never have the look Alice just did of pure happiness and satisfaction. I scratched at my cuticles out of nervousness. I sat against the wall on my bed and watched Alice as she opened the three feet by two feet duffel bags. Every single one contained clothes. "Alice, are you anticipating a shortage on clothes?" I asked her with a snort. I have never seen one person have so many clothes. I don't even think they will all fit into the wardrobe."
She laughed at my statement. "Silly Bella, you can never have too many clothes" she expressed. "See, these duffel bags" as she pointed to the ones in front of her, "contains only pants. This one here" as she pointed to the left of the first bag, "contains my shirts, this one has my skirts and shorts" as she pointed to the right of the first bag. "The final bag here" as she pointed to the bag in back of her, "has all my accessories, scarves, belts and under garments."
She was going to be unpacking clothes all night let alone the rest of her stuff. She opened the blue bin that Jasper had just put in the middle of the room and took out the hangers. She started hanging her clothes in the wardrobe and began the assault of questions.
"So, where are you from again?" she asked.
"I'm from Forks, it's about two hours from here."
Her head shot up and her face turned into a bright expression. "You're kidding right? I'm from forks too! Why haven't we met before this?!" she squealed.
"Well I didn't get out much, and spent a lot of time down at La Push beach." My voice was sad by my confession of pretty much being horded away from the rest of the town. Jake didn't like me going anywhere without him, but if I stayed at La Push, it was ok to be out and about. None of the guys would dare cross Jake to bother me.
"Oh yup, that would be why. Our family isn't allowed on the reservation. The boys were dumb and were hunting on their land and shot a wolf. The tribe got pissed and banished the whole family from their land."
She had finished with hanging her shirts and I don't think any more could have fit onto the rack. She moved onto the pants bag. She folded them and placed them in the three drawers of the wardrobe.
"What's you major?" she questioned me.
"I'm going for an associate's degree in business administration. I figured that learning some professional skills would help my chances with getting a desk job back home." This was a gloomy subject for me. I'm happy to be in college but Jake hates it. I compromised with him that I'd only go for two years instead of the normal four years. He still wasn't happy but he agreed with the condition that I come home every weekend, no exceptions. I really want to go for a biology degree in environmentalism. I want to help clean up the wildlife that gets affected by oil spills. The otters were the animals that sold me on the dream.
"Why are you only going for two years? Four years would be so much better for your resume yea know?" she stated in a matter-of-fact tone.
"I know, but I just don't have enough funding to do four years, because I'm paying for my education myself and I can only get so much help from the government." I didn't want to tell her the real reason. I didn't want her to look down on me for being such a passive person, whose boyfriend told her what her life was going to be like. I'm ashamed of myself for letting our relationship become this controlling, but I love Jake and don't want to disappoint him.
"Oh, yea I guess that would be a problem haha" she nonchalantly shrugged she shoulders. She couldn't fit any more clothing into the wardrobe and still had two duffel bags of clothes. It was time to move the conversation away from me. "Alice, where are you going to put the rest of your clothing? There's no way you're stuffing it in that wardrobe" I teased her.
She giggled, "I have no clue what I'm going to do. I mean, my accessories can go in these drawers" as she pointed at her three desk drawers. "And, I guess I can leave my shorts and skirts in the duffel bag because it's not like its warm enough to wear them anyway. I brought them just in case yea know?"
I shook my head and laughed at her. "Alice, where will you put your school supplies if your clothes are taking up every drawer?"
She swatted her hand at me in the air as if it was no big deal. "I still have the whole shelf, and I got a pencil holder similar to yours, besides, my clothes are more important than my school stuff anyway."
I just laughed some more. This was going to be a fun year with Alice. I'm glad I'm rooming with her because she's got a great personality. I bet if Jake met her, he would even like her. Well, maybe. I'll just have to see about that one. But what's not to like about Alice? Nothing so far. She's happy, energetic and I feel like I can easily talk to her about MOST things. Maybe, in time, I can confess everything to her. Maybe…
