B POV

Quincy pulled up to the school and I stepped out. Parkville Academy was one of the top schools in New England, which would've been great if I wasn't an entering sophomore. Entering in March.

My parents had decided that school in London had NOT been the best choice for me. So, instead of old England, I was in New England. Gotta love parental sense of humor huh?

I asked Quincy to wait outside and I walked into the main building. My dad had emailed me to simply go into the Main Building and receive a packet that had my dorm and room number, schedule, and my debit card. I couldn't wait for the confrontation.

I walked into the main office and went to the first desk. The woman behind looked sharp and neat. Two pencils in the tight bun of gray hair on her head, and sharp wire rimmed glasses.

"Hi, I'm Isabella Swan. I'm transferring from London?" I introduced myself. She raised an eyebrow when I mentioned London, probably because of my lack of accent.

"Oh Welcome to Parkville!" She said warmly. "Here's your packet." And you're in Cullen. It's a co-ed upperclassmen dorm. You should be able to find it from the map in the envelope."

What wasn't in the envelope? It was thicker than My step-mom. I thanked her and made my way out of the building and back to Quincy.

I told him which dorm I was in and we drove around campus till we found it. It wasn't challenging for Quincy. But I suppose sense of direction is not my best quality.

The packet informed me that I was in room 110. It was at the far end of the hall, but luckily it was on the first floor. Quincy had just kissed my forehead and left me sitting on the bed when a perky girl with short black hair entered.

"Wow! You moved in fast! I'm Alice Cullen and you're my new neighbor. I'm in 108. "

I laughed a little. I liked Alice. She was friendly and sweet.

"Hey, I'm Bella."

Soon we were talking like we'd known each other for our entire lives. Alice was going to be such a good friend. I knew that already. We finished unpacking my stuff and she promised to help me find all my classes the next day. Alice was great.

"Co-ed takes a while to get used to, but it's not that big of a deal. After awhile you get used to it. And it's a perfect way to find out who's…P.A.T wasn't the highest grade."

I laughed. "P.A.T? Alice, tell me that doesn't stand for something to do with the size of male genitalia."

"What!" She said defensively. "Penicular Aptitude Test!" She listened to herself and we both broke out into fits of laughter. I must admit I haven't laughed like that in a while.

"Anyways Alice. What's your story? Any siblings? Beach houses?" I asked.

"I'm a fraternal twin. My brother goes here too. His name is Edward. He's really great. Our parents dumped us here when we were freshmen and have been touring the world ever since. The monthly check they send makes it hard for me to miss them, But I think Edward takes it more seriously. When it comes to Beach houses? This dorm is named after us. Need I say more?"

I laughed. "Ha, definitely not. I never even made that connection"

"So what are you wearing to the party tonight?" she asked, because she had definitely mentioned that before.

"Party? Alice! Why didn't you tell me this like 5 hours ago!" I joked. And then I got serious. "I don't know. Probably just jeans or something."

Alice shook her head. "Here, you go shower, and I'll pick out your outfit. Anything you should warn me of?"

I grabbed my towel and shower buddy and warned her that pink was not my friend before heading out of the room. The bathroom was huge. There was a large open space with a wall sized mirror. I stripped off my towel and stood in front of the mirror.

My hair was brown and normal. But I knew I wasn't ugly. Lets just say, the guys in London had bet pools to sleep with me. I wasn't trying to be haughty. I just wanted to see if I liked this place; if I liked me in this place.

"Wow. You're not a shy one." I jumped out of my skin to realize that I was no longer alone in the bathroom.

I turned and realized I had accidentally tossed my towel across the floor. I was completely exposed for this…

And then I actually took a look and my surveyor. He had green eyes and hair the color of a rusted penny. He wasn't wearing a shirt, and he was showing off an eight pack and prominent sex muscles. Screw the towel.

He laughed and walked away. I found myself making a strange choking noise. But I sighed when he picked up my towel and handed it to me.

"Here, if you put this on I can introduce myself without staring at inappropriate places."

He smiled at me. My heart stopped.

"Thanks," I said, wrapping myself in the towel. "I'm Bella Swan. I live on the first floor. I just moved in today though." I sounded remarkably collected, but my mind was wondering what his P.A.T score was. I was ashamed of myself.

"Nice to see, I mean meet you Bella. I'm Edward Cullen. I live on the 3rd floor. My sisters on the 1st floor though."

I was gonna kill Alice. Why had she not mentioned how gorgeous her brother was!

He's done talking Bella I told myself. Make conversation so you can woo him into the shower.

"Really? She mentioned she had a twin. I love Alice. I met her two hours ago and I'm pretty sure she's gonna be in my wedding." I said. Wow, you just met the guy and you're already playing that tune?

"Yeah, she gets like that. Are you coming to the party tonight? Down by the lake? I'm sure she invited you. She's probably picking out your outfit as we speak." He laughed. I liked his laugh.

I nodded. "Yeah, I'm coming. She is picking out my outfit actually. That's sweet that you know each other that well. You guys close?"

"Yeah. It's usually just the two of us at home. And we're twins. Closeness works for us. She knows everything about me. I'm gonna go, let you finish with your cleanliness routine."

I smiled. "That's really great. I'm an only child, so I'm a little jealous. Save me a dance at the party?"

He nodded. I turned around and walked towards one of the shower stalls. Suddenly I cared a lot what I would look like at the party. And I liked having someone to impress.

E POV

Bella was interesting. I didn't understand why I thought so. She was probably just like all of Alice's other friends. But it was refreshing to know that she had been friends with Alice before she met me.

And the body? Maybe half the interest was the fact was that the first time I'd seen her I'd seen her deliciously nude. She was gorgeous. An alert popped up on my computer.

Rose wanted me to pick her up at her dorm so I could bring her to the party. But I was gonna ask Bella if she needed me to help her find our spot by the lake.

Cullen! Pull yourself together. Rosalie Hale is the hottest girl on campus and she wants you. Remember how many boys hate your guts right now and reign yourself in! I told myself. Who was this Bella to ruin everything I'd worked for?

Be there at seven. I wrote.

The wink smiley she sent back was more than promising. The party was in two hours. And I spent that time trying to convince myself I was excited for Rosalie.
