Hello reader(s)! Yay, chapter 2 is up! I hope that ppl like this story, it's my first fanfic and im sorry that the chapters are so short (I know that I love it when ppl post long chapters) but it is a lot harder to write than it looks and im still new at this. =} Anyways, PLEASE give me REVIEWS!!! Im so paranoid that no one is reading my story and I just want to know if someone out there is reading and actually liking my story.
I've already started the third chapter ( its spring break and I have some free time) so the only way that I will update it is if I have some indication that someone is reading this, or else I don't want to waste my time.
Thanks for reading my rambling, now enjoy the second chapter! =)

Previously-
"Oops," she apologized, her beautiful face looking somewhat embarrassed as she took in my shocked and slightly soggy appearance; her icy blue eyes, looking up at me, were 3 or 4 inches below my five feet, five inches and her mouth formed an apologetic half smile. Her dark, black hair framed her pale face and was cropped short and styled into elegant spikes. She extended a small hand toward me, a wide grin spreading across her face, flashing her white teeth: "Hi, my name is Alice Cullen, and you must be my roommate."
Chapter 2- HEAD OVER HEALS
"Er . . . h-hi! U-um, I'm Bella Swan," my voice caught in my throat. I know that it's impolite to stare, but I just could not stop gazing at the small, yet devastatingly beautiful, girl that was still smiling at me with enough excitement to be bouncing off of the walls.
"Hi Bella! I just know that we are going to be great friends. Oh, what classes do you have? Maybe we'll be in the same classes together, that would be so cool! I know, we should have a shopping trip this weekend because school doesn't start for another week or so and we could get some new clothes and everything . . . " she continued babbling on about our plans this weekend and what good friends we were going to be, talking so quickly that she never even gave me the chance to respond. Wait . . . did she just say shopping? Normally, I didn't really mind shopping, I just didn't find very much excitement in spending all day at a mall, but other than that it was really almost fun. However, the way that Alice gushed about our upcoming shopping trip got me a little worried about what she had planned that day.
I was still standing there, shocked at her immediate attempt at friendship, after meeting her only 2 minutes ago, when I noticed the large, brown objects shoved to one side of the cramped dorm room.
"Did you bring those up there all by yourself?" I gestured to the large boxes of stuff I had sent over from my home in Forks, Washington, they had gotten here faster than I had expected.
"Huh? Oh, your stuff, no my brothers helped me. Oh my gosh! I have to introduce you to them; you'll absolutely love them, plus, they have been waiting to meet you. Oh, and you have to meet my friend Rosalie, she's my best friend in the whole world and she's dating my older brother, which is kind of weird, but you'll get used to it. Oh my gosh, we are going to have so much fun this year!"
I couldn't help but smile at that, her excitement was contagious and now I don't have to worry about having a roommate that will hate me. The hammering of the rain outside of the window lightened and I could see a light mist falling from the clouds, where the sun was starting to peek through. I was used to the familiar rainfall in Forks, but it was almost too ironic that I happened to arrive on the one day of rain here in sunny California. Alice finally seemed to notice my drenched clothes and directed me toward the small bathroom in the far corner of the dorm. I grabbed a beloved pair of jeans and a simple t-shirt and left the room to take a warm shower.
Alice helped my unpack some of the stuff from my boxes and we chatted a little about school and friends and pretty much just made small talk. I learned that she had 2 brothers, Emmett and Edward, and a boyfriend, Jasper, who happened to be her best friend, Rosalie's, brother, who was also dating Alice's brother, Emmett. They came from Portland, Oregon and moved here two years ago. I was really starting to like Alice, usually girls that were so hyper and girly just freaked me out, but Alice was different, she was a fun person and an even better friend.
Boom, Boom, Boom! I gasped and leapt onto my bed. The door shuddered against the strong impact and I wondered if someone was trying to break down the door.
"Al-ice!" someone, obviously a guy from the sound of his voice, whined from the other side of the door, that I was still surprised hadn't broken off of its hinges. Alice rolled her eyes impatiently.
"God Emmett! If you wanted to come in, you could just ask instead of trying to break the door down! You practically scared my new roommate to death!" I felt my face get hot as she mentioned my reaction. It was quite funny, though to see Alice with her hands on her hips, yelling at the door. She twisted the knob and quickly swung the door open.
"Jeez, no need to get all fussy little sis," he joked. I felt my jaw drop as I looked up at Alice's massive older brother. He was huge, not that he was fat or anything, he was tall with serious muscles and short, curly brown hair.
Alice glared up at him with a deadly look in her eyes that said "don't-mess-with-me" and obviously Emmett got the message because he backed off immediately, though he still had a smirk on his face.
I still couldn't believe that someone as tiny and petite as Alice could be related to someone as huge as Emmett, but I had to admit that Alice could be pretty scary when she meant it.
"Hey Alice!" A girl emerged from the hallway and gave Alice a big hug. Just like Alice, the girl was devastatingly beautiful; she had long, silky blond hair and brown eyes that looked like they had a little gold in them.
Another boy with dirty blond hair and the same eye color immediately followed her, although you could see some other similarities in their perfect features. This must have Rosalie and Jasper; Alice had told me that they were brother and sister, fraternal twins, also known as Alice's boyfriend and Emmett's girlfriend.
"Where's Edward?" Alice peered around Emmett and another boy entered our very crowded dorm. He had tussled bronze hair and hazel-green eyes that I couldn't stop staring at. I almost wanted to reach out and touch his perfect face. All that I could think was: Ho-ly Shit!
"Everyone I would like you to meet my new roommate, Bella." I realized that I was still seated on my bed and I quickly jumped up.
"Um, hey everyone . . . I'm Bella Swan," I smiled and felt the heat rush to my face again. Please tell me that my blushing isn't that noticeable. The girl named Rosalie came up to me and gave me a quick hug.
"Nice to meet you Bella, I'm Rosalie, but Alice probably already told you who I was. This is Emmett, Jasper and Edward," she gestured to everyone and I shook all of their hands. As I shook Edward's hand, he smiled widely at me and I felt my heart skip a beat and I tried to keep my breathing steady. What am I thinking? Snap out of it! I turned my gaze back to Emmett and he laughed when he saw my eyes widen as he gave me a mischievous grin. Rosalie playfully rolled her eyes.
"It's ok, don't be afraid of Emmett, he may look intimidating, but he's nothing but a big teddy bear," with that she punched him playfully on the arm.
"Hey, I am not!" Rosalie was right, he sounded just like a little kid.
"Sorry guys, but I'm going to have to go, I still have to unpack and all," Jasper apologized.
"That's ok, I'll see you guys later, Bella and I are going to finish setting up our new dorm." Everyone waved goodbye and left. Edward smiled at me and despite what my mind was telling me, I couldn't control the butterflies that were attacking my insides. Usually I didn't act like this around guys that I just met, but was it possible that I was feeling this way about Alice's brother?
