Chapter 1

"I think I got everything, Mom." Emma put the last box on her desk and turned to her parents. Her mother's eyes were already starting to collect tears and her dad kept looking down the hallway with a concerned look.

"I can't believe my baby is in college. It was just yesterday I was holding you in my arms for the first time." Emma was pulled into her mom's arms before she could react. Her mother was always one to overreact and Emma always kept her feelings deep down. Her father finally stopped looking down the hallway and joined the hug.

"I will be fine you guys, I am only three hours away." Emma tried to pull away but they had a tight grip. Emma waited for what seemed like forever, for them to finally release. Her father went right back to looking down the hallway. "Dad, what are you doing?"

"I didn't know this was a co-ed dorm. Is it too late to change buildings?"

"Once again, it will be fine dad. This is the cheapest dorm they have. Now stop looking down the hallway, you look creepy." Her dad turned back into the room, tears were now collecting in his eyes.

"Come on, Mary. We better hit the road so that we don't hit rush hour traffic."

"But David, we haven't met her roommate yet." Emma smiled and just shook her head.

"She isn't coming till tomorrow. And you will met her during one of my breaks." Emma was pulled into another hug, luckily this one was shorter.

"Alrighty, call us if you have any problems. Do you still have the knife and pepper spray I got you?" Her dad pulled her mom to his side so that she wouldn't suffocate their only daughter.

"Yes, I have everything. You guys have to stop worrying so much, it is weird."

"Alright sweetie, we will see you in October. We love you." Her parents finally started heading out the door.

"I love you guys too." Emma smiled and waved at them till they walked down the hallway. Finally Emma thought to herself. She loved her parents but they were a little crazy at some points. Emma started unpacking her suitcases, listening to her music through earbuds. Suddenly two arms wrapped around her waist. She turned around and smiled.

"Neal! I was wondering when you were going to come and visit." Neal pulled her into a kiss before he answered her.

"I had to talk to all the new freshman on my floor. Being an RA is hard." Emma laughed and gave him another kiss.

"Where do you live?"

"In North building. Over by the library." Emma's smile dropped a little.

"I was hoping that you were in the same building as me."

"Sorry, baby, but I can give you a private tour after you finish unpacking." Neal winked at her and Emma laughed getting another kiss before he released her. "I have a meeting in 10 minutes, so I will find you for dinner afterwards. Make sure you have your phone." Emma smiled and nodded. Neal waved at her and left. She turned back to what she was doing, she was almost done unpacking when there was a knock at her door.

"Hi there, you must be Emma!" An overexcited girl looked at her and held out her hand.

"Hi, and you are?" Emma shook her hand.

"My name is Tinkerbelle, but most people call me Tink. I am your RA on the floor, we have another RA but he is for the guys."

"Well, nice to meet you." Emma smiled awkwardly not sure what else to say.

"Oh we have a floor dinner tonight that I would love you to come to. That way you can meet everyone on the floor and make a ton of friends." Emma was getting a little annoyed of how excited this RA was.

"I will see if I can make it." Emma fake smiled at Tink hoping she would leave. Tink waved to her after giving her a thumbs-up. Emma sighed, I have no idea how I am going to survive her, she grabbed some of her towels and went to the adjoined bathroom. When she opened the door, there was someone in there.

"Oh my god! I am sorry." She quickly shut the door. It opened right after she closed it. A guy leaned on the door fame, looking at her. He was probably one of the hottest guys she had ever seen. His black hair was messy but it looked damn good on him. He had some stubble on his face, and one of his eyebrows was raised at her. Holy crap she thought she looked at his eyes. They were a sea blue, like the sky after a raining day. It was hard to break his intense stare but when she did her eyes looked up and down his body. He was wearing a V-neck white shirt that showed some chest hair, his jeans hugged his hips perfectly and she could see his six-pack through his shirt.

"Well hey there." The mystery man finally spoke. Emma inhaled quickly. Shit he has an accent.

"I am so sorry about just opening the door. I will remember to knock next time." Emma finally answered, I probably look like a creepy person just looking at him.

"It is no problem, I was just hanging up some of my stuff. My name is Killian Jones." He gave her a half smile and held out his hand.

"Emma Swan." She shook his hand.

"Well nice to meet you, Swan. Are you new here?" His eyes looked up and down her, she started to blush a little. Stop it, Emma. You have a boyfriend.

"Umm yeah, I just transferred from NYC. I am a sophomore."

"Nice, so am I. Maybe we will have some classes together. Where is your roommate?" He looked around the room.

"She isn't coming until tomorrow."

"Hey, Victor come meet our new bathroom mate." Killian yelled, without taking his eyes off of Emma. A dirty blonde guy walked through the bathroom, standing behind Killian. Damn why are all these guys so hot. Emma smiled at him and waved.

"Victor this is Swan. Swan, this is my roommate and one of my best mates, Victor Whale." He nodded to her.

"Nice to meet you, Swan. That is a strange name." Emma felt heat rush to her cheeks again.

"That is my last name, my name is Emma." He chuckled and smiled.

"Are you coming to the dinner tonight?" Killian captured her attention once again. He had moved into her room, walking around.

"I am not sure. I told my boyfriend I would have dinner with him." Emma tried to ignore the flash of jealously that went through Killian's eyes.

"Oh, who is your boyfriend?"

"Neal Cassidy. He is an RA in the North Building."

"Oh I know him, I thought he was dating that Tamara chick. But I guess I was wrong." Who the hell is Tamara. I will have to ask Neal.

"Nope we have been dating since high school." Emma smiled at him, her eyes held in an intense stare with him.

"Well I have to go finish unpacking. I hope you can come to the dinner." He winked at her, walking back through the bathroom. Emma didn't even notice that Victor had left. Shit, why did I have to share a bathroom with a freaking model. Emma shook all thoughts of Killian out of her head before returning to unpacking.
