Disclaimer: S. Meyers owns twilight…But Emmett owns me
I pulled my car into one of the last parking spots I saw, rushing to get everything together. Procrastinating in the shower was a bad idea. Looking down at the schedule in my hand, I run to the 'C' building, room 27. The lecture is just beginning. So, I quickly walk to the first available, burgundy chair. Its one space from the end, with only one guy next to it. I flopped myself down and took out my laptop, preparing myself for a torrent of notes.
I glanced at the guy next to me, his olive-colored skin and dark, chestnut hair shining in the florescent light. I didn't immediately see his eyes, but the shape of his face in profile is angular and masculine. As if my thought aroused his attention, he turned toward me. Looking at me up and down, his full lips slowly pull back from model-white teeth into a smile. He glanced back to the professor, who is currently shuffling through a worn leather briefcase wiping perspiration off his balding head. The neighbor then opened his mouth to speak, distracting my attention from the professor.
"Hi. I'm Adam." Replaying Charlie's words in my head, I politely smile and introduced myself. He smiled widely after gaining my name. "So, Bella…Why are you taking Psych? I'm sure you could be an actress or super-model or something." Smiling back, and actually meaning some of it, I began my first college conversation.
Throughout class, I could feel someone watching me. Glancing at Adam, I found him staring at me out of the corners of his eyes, then trying to refocus on the professor, only to have his vision snap back to my face. I blushed and listened to Mr. Wilson: a nervous, potbellied, balding man who has now made it his personal mission to put us all through hell.
Going over the syllabus, he explains how in order to 'reap the full benefits of his class', 6 papers will be due in addition to weekly tests. I hated him already. He dismisses us after passing out our assignments…on the first day. Collecting my books, I see Adam scrambling to follow me. I scurry into the hallway, only to be tapped on the shoulder.
"Bella…Do you have another class? Cause if not, I was wondering if you'd like to get a coffee with me." After seeing the expression on my face, which must have been utter shock, he fumbles to explain himself. "You know, to talk about the assignment. You don't have to or anything." He thrusts his hands into his back pockets and began to rock on his heels; and for the first time, I notice how nicely he is dressed.
The deep green of his shirt blended perfectly with the mocha colored jacket that draped across his broad shoulders. His dark blue jeans are fashionably tattered and held on by a black leather belt. Everything about him pleased the eyes and invites you in. The cologne that surrounds him is musky with a slight citrus smell. He is so attractive that I might have considered him a vampire, but he looked well rested.
My head fills with what seems like hundreds of voices, but I can only make out a few. "I don't want you." "You need to let someone in." Noticing I still haven't answered him, I shook myself free of my thoughts.
"Um…Sure. Coffee would be great, my next class isn't for another hour or so." Looking back up from the ground he flashed me a stunning smile, and we started off to the college's café. Walking along side Adam, I felt that I may have made a new friend, but I still couldn't shake the uneasiness that seemed to follow me around. I was just waiting for the little bit of sanity I had obtained since the Cullens had left to unravel.
A/N: Okay. I'm going to stop there. I really want to continue but I have classes tomorrow. I might bring back Emmett in one of the later chapters, but I don't know how many. Thank you to those who have reviewed. You guys rule. Let me know what you guys think of the story so far. Mental hugs and kisses! Please excue me if there are some typos. I'm trying to get them all but a few might still get through. Thanks to a certain musical buddy who helps me out.
