The whole car ride to the apartment I miss Edward. We had only been together for a few hours but it still felt weird to be away from him. But I knew it was time to get back to the apartment and get ready for classes that would be starting on Monday. I was also ready to take a shower and wash away everything from the club. The ride was mostly quiet and I had a feeling the girls were missing the guys just as much as I was.
We got back to the apartment a little after one o'clock, we had a simple lunch then took a long shower. The apartment was quiet when I stepped out of the shower, the girls must have decided to take a nap. A nap sounded great to me, I quickly changed into sweatpants and a t-shirt then got into bed. It was nice to be back in my bed but I missed my sleeping buddy from the night before. My mind started to wander while I laid in bed, thinking of how much fun the six of us could have. I thought about tripling dating, of all the crazy fun things Alice would make us do. Even in my dreams Edward's crocked smile took my breath away and made my heart beat a million miles an hour. I dreamt of kissing him on the lips, not on the cheek like I had done earlier. Even though kissing him on the cheek had been the highlight of my day. I would never forget the way my lips started to tingle the instant my lips touched his skin. I woke an hour later with a smile on my face and my roommates sitting at the foot of my bed.
"I think I would like to sleep in your room ever night," Rose laughed as she spoke. "Me too," Alice was giggling.
"And why is that," I pulled myself up onto my elbows.
"Because, listening to you while you are sleeping is better then watching TV," Alice was full on laughing at this point.
"Oh shut up," I threw one of my pillows at her and stuck my tongue out.
"You know it is true," Rose added.
"What are you two doing in her, by the way?" I had the best dream of Edward then woke up to my friends making fun of me…sounds just like my life.
"Well, Rose and I have been up for a little while. Since you know a nap should only last fifteen to thirty minutes," she said in her best motherly voice.
I just rolled my eyes, "Fifteen minutes is not a nap, it's a long blink." Rose started to laugh and Alice couldn't keep a straight face.
"Good one Bella but like I was saying Rose and I have been up for a while thinking."
"Oh boy, how come this doesn't sound good," I looked between the two of them.
"Geez calm down, nothing bad is going to happen," Rose tried to reassure me but something in her eyes told me she was lying.
"So, a little birdie told us that your birthday is coming up," an evil smile pulled at the corners of Alice's mouth.
"Oh no," it came out more of a whisper then I meant for it to be. I did not like people knowing when my birthday was, being the center of attention really wasn't my thing. I was hoping that this would be the year I could skip my birthday, I had never been able to before since Mom always loved to throw a good party. Most of the time it would be all of her friends that showed up and one or two people in my class. I scrambled to get myself sitting up right. "Please Alice, no parties," I gave her a sad pout.
"That isn't going to work on me," she turned her head away from me. I folded my arms in front of my chest, looked down at my bed.
"Awww, come on Bella don't be like that," Rose moved closer to me. "The birthday party is going to be so much fun," she tried to give me her best smile but I wasn't buying it.
"Please guys, can we not have a party for me," I knew it was hopeless but I still had to try.
"Sorry no can do Bella," Alice looked a little too happy to be telling me that. "Besides the party isn't only for you."
"Huh," now I was confused. If they were throwing me a birthday party then who else would it be for?
"Duh, we forgot to tell you the other part of party," Alice hit her forehead with the palm of her hand. "You see you aren't the only one with a birthday coming up."
"Who else has one?" It better be one of the guys or else I wasn't that interested. As far as I knew Alice and Rose didn't know anyone else besides the boys and me, but with Alice's personality I'm sure she could have met more people while going shopping one day.
"Emmett," Alice squealed out. "How cute is it that you and your 'big brother' have birthdays so close to each other. Edward already told me about the party they are going to have for Emmett, he is turning twenty-one. Emmett doesn't really want to go out to the bars since nobody he is good friends with is old enough yet to go with him. So Edward and Jasper are throwing him a party at their house, of course Emmett is going to have to get the alcohol," this caused her to giggle a little and was the first time she stopped talking. "As soon as I found out your birthday was so close to Emmett's I called that dear brother of mine and asked if we could make it a joined birthday. Of course he was more then happy to go along with it once he found out it was your birthday," she had a smug smile on her lips. "And Emmett was excited when he found out he gets to have a birthday party with his 'little sister', Edward said he even started to jump up and down. So next Friday night we are having a big party at the boy's house. I know it isn't a lot of time for me to start planning and decorating or to find the perfect birthday party outfit for you but I'm so excited," she started to bounce up and down on the bed clapping her hands. Rose was laughing next to me and I couldn't help but groan.
"Is there anything I could do or say that will get me out of this," I asked in vain, they both shook their heads. I didn't want to let Emmett down since Alice made is sound like he was very excited for this to happen but parties really weren't my thing and I'm sure he would understand that. "How about I clean the apartment for a week," again with the head shaking. "Cook for a month? Take the last shower ever day," I was grasping for things then it hit me. "Go shopping whenever you want me to and play Bella Barbie with no arguments," I looked over at Alice and could see her thinking it through. She was on the verge of cracking when cell phone went off.
"Hello brother of mine," she practically sang into the phone. I tried to hear what he were saying but of course I couldn't, stupid normal hearing. "Yup I just talked to her about it," she gave me a wink. "Mmmhmmm," she nodded her head, "she is defiantly in. Okay I'll talk to you later bro," and with that she hung up. I was a little disappointed that I didn't get to talk to Edward and even more upset that there was no way for me to get out of this stupid party.
"Don't look so sad Bella, this party is going to be great trust me," she gave me a quick hug then the three of us went to the living room to watch some TV and hang out.
The rest of the weekend past by pretty much the same way. Rose, Alice, and I would hang out in the living room or one of the girl's rooms while they would dress me up. I was fine with them playing Bella Barbie as long as I didn't have to leave the apartment once they were done. Rose had me try on so many of her clothes and Alice was in heaven. They found the "perfect" first day of classes outfit for me sometime on Sunday while dressing me up. For some reason I didn't have the heart to tell them no so I just went with it.
I hadn't heard anything else from Edward all weekend and I was starting to get a little jittery. I wish I would have given him my cell phone number so I would have been able to at least text him, ah I was starting to get pathetic.
Before I knew it Monday morning had come, along with my roommates waking me up two hours before my first class. They told me they needed plenty of time to make me over into "College Bella". Once I was done with the shower and changed into the clothes Alice had picked out for me I headed to her room for hair and makeup. The outfit was actually very nice and comfortable. I wore a yellow thank top, that was more like a dress, it had a strip of black going around it in the middle. The jeans were light blue and skinny on me, something I never thought I would be able to pull off but Alice and Rose both said they looked good on me. Alice picked out one of her rings for me to wear with the outfit, it was big and a beautiful aqua blue color. My favorite part of the outfit was the shoes, they let me wear my light blue All-Stars and for that I was thankful. Alice wanted me to bring a purse instead of a backpack, something about how "backpacks never go with an outfit," I told her I would bring one the first day but if nobody else had one I was switching back to my backpack. The outfit was simple and didn't look half bad on me (outfit on profile).
Alice was already done getting ready by the time I got to her room. Her outfit was perfect on her and she looked amazing. She too had a par of skinny jeans on, I'm guessing I would see a lot of those today on campus, only hers had little rips in them. Her shirt was a plaid tub top that looked great on her. She had on tan wedge shoes that made her almost the same height as me, I still loved the fact that someone was shorter then me. Her hair was sticking up all over behind her head making it look like she just rolled out of bed, but I knew better then that. She had a small amount of makeup on and no jewelry, the jewelry part surprised me. I took my set in front of the mirror and she immediately went to work. We talked about our first day of college and how we were both so excited for it. None of us had any classes together since our majors were so different. I was going for English, Alice for Fashion, and Rosalie for Engineering. Fashion and Engineering sounded so exciting but to me there was nothing better then curling up with a good book and getting lost in another world. Of course they both thought I was crazy but understood it was something that made me happy.
Rose walked into Alice's room just as she was done with my makeup. And again I was happy to see that she had kept it simple, I don't know why I still worried about them dressing me and doing my hair and makeup. They really were great at it and never made me look like anyone but myself. Alice soon found jewelry to wear with her outfit, a few bracelets where pushed onto your right wrist (full outfit on my profile). Rose came closer and I finally got a good look at her, of course she looked beautiful. She had a short jean mini skirt on that had a few rips on it. Her top was a simple teal tank top but Rose made it look amazing. She had a small heart locket around her neck and teal wedges on her feet (outfit on my profile). Her hair was down and in big loose curls that cascaded down her back. I knew that every girl that saw her today would instantly be jealous of Rosalie's beauty, I being one of them.
It didn't take Rose long to do my hair the way she wanted to. Again it was done simple just like the rest of my outfit. She straightened all of it, making it look longer then in normally did. And with that I was ready for my first day of college. Alice grabbed her purse on the way out of her room, a big brown bag that you could get lost in. Rose grabbed a sweater from her room before meeting us in the living room.
"Good idea," I looked at her sweater, "I'll go get one too."
"Oh no you don't," Alice pulled my arm towards the door. "You don't have the right kind of sweater to go with your outfit besides it isn't going to be that cold outside today," she gave me a smile. "Fine," I rolled my eyes. Just then Rose picked up her purse, it had rose buds all over it and fit her perfectly. "Rose that purse is amazing."
"Thanks," she gave me a big smile looking down at her purse. "Jasper got it for me a few years ago thinking it would be funny for me to have a purse with roses on it."
"Jasper picked it out," Alice's eyes got big and Roses nodded her head. "Smart, funny, sexy, and he is a good shopper. I think I'm going to marry that man," we all started to laugh as we made our way out of the apartment.
Rose drove us to the university, we listened to music but nobody sang along. The closer we got to the school the more pressure you could feel in the car. We were all getting nervous for our official first day as college students. Rose parked the car and we each got out after a few deep breaths. There were people all around us in every shape and size. I was used to being around a lot of people growing up in Arizona but today felt different.
"Okay guys," Alice said from between Rose and myself. "Today is going to be fun, we look good and we are ready to do this," I slowly nodded my head with the rest of them. "We are going to meet a bunch of new people and have a great day," she was starting to make me feel better but I knew soon I would have to leave them and that feeling would go away. "Rose you have class for two hours right," Rose nodded her head. "And Bella you only have one hour right," I nodded my head too. I wasn't sure how it happened but I ended up only having one class on Monday for an hour. "Alright well I have class for two hours like Rose. Do you think you will be able to find something to do for an hour?"
"Sure," my voice cracked a little and we all started to laugh. "Yes I think I will be okay by myself for and hour," I was not only reassuring them but also myself.
"Alright well I guess this is it then," we had walked as far as we could together before we had to split up to get to the different buildings. "Group hug," Alice pulled us together for one quick hug. "See you guys later."
"Bye," Rose called out heading towards the Engineering building.
"See ya," I have waved as I walked to the building that held my first class.
Freshman English was not what I thought it was going to be, it was even better. My teacher was crazy but it a fun way. We spent the hour getting to know each other and what major everyone was going for. I was one of the few in the class that was going for an English major and I could tell the teacher was excited. I kept to myself for most of the class only talking when I was asked a question but so far everyone was very nice. The hour past by faster then I thought it was going to and before I knew it I was walking the sidewalks of the university looking for something to do. I walked around for a few minutes before I noticed I was almost alone on the sidewalk, everyone must have gone to class. I liked it like that, it was peaceful being the only one out. I walked for a few more minutes before a found a swinging chair under a big tree right off of the sidewalk. I sat down on it and pulled out the book I was currently reading from my purse. I was so lost in the book that I didn't even hear someone walk up on me.
"Hello stranger," I dropped the book and my head snapped up to the person standing in front of me.
