So since it's winter break I decided to write again… I don't have to study for stupid midterms anymore… anyways… I was so glad to see a few people reading my story! Thanks for the comments! I might add a picture of something to my profile. I'm not sure what yet. I will try to add a picture every chapter. ~Maddie~

Chapter 2

"Hello Bella," he said extending his hand to me. "My name is Edward Cullen,"

I was to stunned to speak. Luckily, I took his hand instead of looking like a complete moron. He was so nice and his name, there was something about it… it fit him perfectly.

"You seem lost, where are you going?" He said while smiling my favorite crooked smile of his.

"Umm… building E,"

"That's right around the corner. I'll walk you."

Not only was he handsome but, he was also a gentleman. This surprised me. Normally, when guys look as good as he does, they don't bother with courtesy. They think they can get whatever they want with their looks alone. That was certainly the case with my last boyfriend. Yet, he was nowhere near as beautiful as Edward.

He took off down the sidewalk and I followed. We walked for about 2 minutes until we got to a brick building that was about 5 stories high. It had a beautiful flower garden beside the entrance with a bench in the midst of it.

"This is it," he looked sad, as he said it almost as if he didn't want to leave me. Wait, I shouldn't be getting my hopes up like this. He probably just was sad because he just left home or lost a pet. Yes, that must be it.

"Thanks," I looked up into his beautiful green eyes once more. He inclined his head just the slightest bit towards mine. Not enough to think anything of but, I noticed.

" I'll see you later" he said.

"Okay," I replied shakily.

I stood there staring after him until he disappeared around a corner. I couldn't get over how wonderful, and perfect he was.

After a while I walked into the building and looked around. When you first walk in there was a kitchen with lots of cabinets and 3 refrigerators to the left. To the right were stairs and in the middle was 4 flat screen TV's with couches in front of each one. There were some girls sitting on the couches watching a TV show I didn't know.

Only one girl saw me walk in. She had wavy blonde hair and a perfect face. She was model-like. After a few seconds of staring at me she stood up. Standing up made her look more like a model. She had the longest legs I had ever seen. When she finally reached me I guessed she was about 3 inches taller than me.

"Hi, I'm Melanie," she seemed pretty nice but, you never know. I might as well make a good impression and be equally as nice back.

"Bella, nice to meet you,"

"Are you headed for your room? I could show you where it is if you like," She asked.

"Thanks, that would be great,"

She took the paper from my hands and headed for the stairs.

"Your on the second floor," she said looking at the paper.

When she looked up she looked different than she did downstairs. She looked mean. We were now halfway up the stairs. She stopped where she was and waited for me to catch up. When I got up to her she gave me the most disgusting look I had ever received and started to back me into a wall. I had no choice but to move, she had like two and a half inch high heals on (and those things can do a lot of damage) Plus, she was, as I mentioned earlier, taller than me. To sum it up she scared the crap out of me.

"You listen to me Bella, Edward Cullen is mine! You keep your filthy little American hands away from him! Got it?" She was yelling at me for no reason whatsoever. For one thing why would he like me? And for another I didn't like him. Did I?

"Ok,'' I replied shakily.

"Good just so we understand each other," she said smiling. She resumed her act of normal, not insane person. "Here we are 121," she indicated to the door next to her.

"Thanks," I said hastily. I couldn't wait to get away from her.

I entered the door and shut it behind me. Inside the room was a deep blue. It was very large. There were 2 beds one was filled with magazines, clothes that looked really expensive, and a girl.

When I walked into the room she jumped off the bed and danced over to me.

"Hi! My name is Alice," she said cheerfully. She was very short, and she had black hair. Her hair was cut short, it looked like it belonged to a pixie. Actually Alice did look a lot like a pixie.

"Nice to meet you Alice. My name is Bella,"

"Bella…'' she said thoughtfully "That's a wonderful name!''

"Thanks," I replied. "Who does the third bed belong to?"

"Oh, that's for Rosalie. She will be here in a little while,"

"I she nice, like you?"

"Of coarse! You will love her,"

"That's good,"

"So," she said sitting back down on her bed "First year huh?"

"Yeah… I came from Arizona,"

"That's far away. I was born in Alaska but, I moved here in fifth grade," she explained.

"Wow, must've been cold," I couldn't imagine living in the cold. I hated anything cold or wet. It absolutely repulsed me.

"It was. I was glad when my parents told my brother and I we were coming here."

"Oh, you have a brother,"

"Yeah he's actually my twin… but, we don't look alike," She looked thoughtful for a minute "Oh my gosh you should go out with him! Your so pretty and really nice! You are so his type!"

"Wait, I don't think I'm ready for a new boyfriend… my last one just broke up with me…"

"Oh, I'm sorry… but I know you'll love him! He's coming over in a few-"

She was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door. "That must be him!" She exclaimed.

Her brother was the last thing on my mind at the moment. All my thoughts were focused on Edward Cullen. Would be in any of my classes? Did he even go to this school? Does he have a girlfriend?

These thoughts were all interrupted when Alice opened the door to let her brother in. I couldn't believe my eyes! Was it really him? Standing in the doorway smiling down at Alice was Edward Cullen!

He hadn't noticed me yet. He was still being greeted by his sister. Then I heard Alice use my name and turn around. "Edward, this is my roommate Bella," She introduced us. "Bella, this is my brother Edward,"

"Well, it's very nice to meet you," he said smiling.

Alice had no idea we had already met. I didn't want to be the one to ruin her fun of introducing us. So, I played along. "It is nice to meet you too,"

"I bet you two will get along great!" Alice exclaimed. Just then her phone rang. "I'll be right back, you two just talk while I'm gone," She left the room.

"So, you're my sister's new roommate?"

"Guess so,"

Alice wasn't gone long. After Edward and I exchanged a few words she was back in the room.

"That was Rosalie and Emmett, they want to know if we want to go out?"

"That sounds great," Edward answered her.

"Bella! Why don't you come too? You could accompany Edward! We all have dates accept for him. It would be fun!"

"I don't know…" I wasn't sure about going with Edward. But, I didn't like to disappoint people. I looked at Edward to see his expression. He looked exited but, I wasn't sure if it was for going out or going with me. I decided to take the safer route. "Why don't I just come as friend?"

"That's fine with me. What about you Edward?

"I'm good with that," he smiled at me but, he looked disappointed. He was so hard to figure out! His expressions always meant one of two things. I could never figure out which.
