I used to write fan fiction all the time, but stopped because I really wasn't inspired by anything until I found Twilight. I've always loved to write, so I thought I might try getting into it again. So, please bare with me. This is just the first chapter of the one I'm currently working on and would love some feedback on it. I will only be posting this here just this once. As soon as I can I will be posting on fanfiction.net.

Chapter 1: New Territory
“You must be Bella!” a small pixie-like girl bounded across the12’x15’ dorm room and embraced the brunette who had stumbled in carrying a large gray tub marked ‘bedding’.
“Ow!” Bella shrieked as she dropped the tub on her right foot.
“Sorry, I’m Alice,” Alice apologized as she released Bella and bent down to pick up the tub Bella had dropped.
“It’s alright. It’s nice to meet you,” Bella smiled hesitantly. She was never one to get overly excited about anything. Bella looked around the tiny room and saw that Alice’s side was already exquisitely decorated with shades of chocolate and mint green. Bella peeked around a wooded sliding door to see a 5’x2’ space that held 5 customized horizontal shelves full of sweaters and tops. Above those was a permanent clothes rod that held jeans, slacks, and dresses. Bella had no idea how her new roommate fit all those clothes into that tiny space. She didn’t even think she could fill the full 5’x2’ space.
“Is this all you brought?” Alice asked in shock.
“No, the rest is downstairs in Charlie’s truck,” Bella giggled.
“Is Charlie your boyfriend?”
“My dad,” Bella smiled shaking her head.
“Oh, sorry. I’ll help!” Alice blushed and then followed Bella outside. “So, Bella, do you have a boyfriend?”
“Me? Are you serious?” Bella asked. Bella never thought of herself as someone anyone with eyes would be interested in. She felt like she was plain and ordinary.
“I think you’re adorable,” Alice smiled as she followed Bella. “A little help with your wardrobe from yours truly you’ll have guys lining up around the corner.”
“Alice, you really shouldn’t thrust your fashion sense onto innocent people,” a voice chimed from behind. Bella had never heard such a melodic voice. Her heart melted at the sound.
“Oh please, Bella doesn’t mind, do you Bella?” Alice asked her roommate who was standing mesmerized by the creature standing before her. She had never seen anyone so…well…there really wasn’t a word for it. Gorgeous or beautiful wasn’t doing him any justice. He stood six feet tall, with golden brown hair that looked like he had woken up and just ran his hands through it. He wore a pair of dark wash blue jeans, pool colored bar-striped shirt tucked in, with a black belt, and a pair of black chuck taylors. “Bella, this is my older brother Edward, Edward, this is my new roommate Bella!”
“Nice to meet you,” Edward swooned as he held out his hand. He caught her gaze and as her skin came in contact with his a jolt of electricity shot through Bella’s body resulting in her jerking her hand quickly back to her side. Bella blushed lightly as Edward broke their gaze and looked at the ground also feeling the strange sensation. “How can I help?” He walked over to the side of the truck where Alice was standing pulling out a couple more tubs.
“Take this one, it’s the heaviest,” Alice said handing her brother a gray tub marked ‘stuff’. Edward took the tub and waited for directions. Alice then handed Bella a medium sized red suitcase as she took the last tub from the truck and slammed the door. “Light packer.”
“I don’t need a lot,” Bella said quietly. She watched as Alice took the lead and swore she saw Edward take a quick glance at her before following his overly cheerful sister.
“Geez, Alice, you and mom sure did get this place looking decent,” Edward said as he observed his surroundings.
“Thanks,” Alice smiled as she put down the tub she was carrying and motioned for Edward to place his down next to hers. “So, Bella, our mom is making dinner tonight for the whole family. You should come!”
“Oh, I wouldn’t want to intrude,” Bella said as she started looking through the tubs to figure out where to start. She didn’t have much, but she already felt too overwhelmed.
“Don’t give me that excuse. You’re coming! It will be fun, mom and dad will love you!” Alice smiled. Edward glared at her his lips a tight line.
“If she doesn’t want to come, she doesn’t have to. Don’t force her into something she doesn’t want to do,” Edward said. Bella looked shocked at his reaction. Did he not want her to come? She thought. “I hate to run, but I told mom I would pick up some stuff for her at the store for dinner, tonight. See ya Alice. Bella.” With that Edward was out the door before Bella could get out a proper good-bye.
“I didn’t mean to be bossy,” Alice apologized. “It’s just sometimes I think Edward feels left out when the whole family gets together. It’s like he’s the 7th wheel.” Alice laughed. “Our older brother Emmett’s girlfriend Rosalie will be there, and my boyfriend Jasper will be there. And then there’s Edward. Plus, I think he might have a thing for you.”
“Oh please, he sounded like he didn’t even want to me to come,” Bella said turning different shades of pink. Plus, other than the fact that he was unconventionally good-looking, he never really said anything directly to her.
“Oh whatever, I caught him staring at you for the most of the time he was here,” Alice informed her as she began shopping through her closet for something for Bella to wear to her parent’s house. “I was thinking this,” Alice said holding up a solid blue, knit, three quarter length sleeve, top. “With a pair of jeans and these.” Alice was then holding up a pair of black, peep toe, sling back heels.
“You have no idea how bad of an idea those heels are,” Bella said raising both eyebrows in worry. She’d worn heels once in her eighteen years of living and that one time she rolled her ankle on a completely smooth surface as she was walking across the stage at her high school graduation collecting giggles from the audience. “I have one word for you…HUMILIATION.”
“Fine, wear those,” Alice surrendered pointing to Bella’s worn black chuck taylors and then throwing up her hands. Bella giggled seeing the frustration she instilled in her new roommate. She felt guilty, but she didn’t want to start school on crutches.
************
“You must be Bella! I’m Esme,” Esme smiled as she held out her arms.
“Yes, it’s nice to meet you,” Bella smiled as she hesitantly walked towards Esme’s embrace.
“Bella it’s so nice to finally meet you, I’m Carlisle. Edward has been talking about you all afternoon,” Carlisle smiled reaching out his hand as Bella couldn’t believe what he had just said. Had Edward really been talking about her to his parents? Was Alice right? Did he really like her? How could someone so perfect find her even remotely interesting? Alice nudged Bella’s side raising her eyebrows. Bella rolled her eyes hiding the fact that she was extremely curious as to what he had said about her.
“Come on, I’ll introduce you to everyone else,” Alice said as she linked arms with Bella and leading her into the kitchen where everyone else had congregated. “Everyone, this is Bella. Bella, this is my other brother Emmett and his girlfriend Rosalie.” Pointing at a rather large figure sitting at the island and the most beautiful person Bella has ever seen sitting next to him. “This is MY boyfriend Jasper, and you know Edward.” Alice kissed Jasper on the cheek as Jasper reached his hand out to greet Bella. Bella shook it and smiled sweetly. She then turned her attention to Emmett who’s hand was extended as well.
“It’s nice to meet you, Bella. I see Alice has marked her territory yet again,” Emmett said motioning to the blue top she was wearing. Alice glared at her childish big brother.
“Yeah, I couldn’t help but feel bad for the girl, it seemed like she was deprived of dolls as a child,” Bella joked as everyone but Alice burst with laughter. As she said that she felt the burn of a pair of eyes on her. She looked to the right and there was Edward, eyes fixated on her. She tried to take her eyes away from his, but he wasn’t letting her. He then flashed a crooked smile that sent her completely over the edge making her left knee twitch and buckle. She quickly broke his gaze placing her hands on top of the island to catch herself before collapsing to the floor.
“Are you OK, dear?” Carlisle asked placing a hand on her back. Carlisle is an emergency medical doctor at Northwest Hospital in Seattle.
“Fine, just haven’t had anything to eat today,” Bella said getting her legs back and keeping her eyes off Edward.
“Why don’t you take a seat and I’ll get you something to munch on,” Esme smiled as she went to the refrigerator and pulled out a fruit plate and placed it in front of Bella. Bella sat down in the only vacant seat at the island next to Rosalie.
“Thanks,” Bella smiled as she picked up a strawberry from the plate and taking a small bite. “You have a beautiful home.”
“Thank you, hun,” Esme smiled. “We love it here. It’s definitely big enough for when all the kids are home.”
Bella glanced to her left to see if Edward was still in the room, but he had somehow slipped out, unnoticed. She shook her head slightly thinking that she was such an idiot. She felt foolish for her reaction to this human being. She’d always seen it happen in movies and knew…or at least thought that it never really happened in real life. She told herself many times that no one would ever have such control over her. She wasn’t going to fall into the arms of some man and never look back. She wasn’t going to follow in the footsteps of her mother. Her mother had jumped into relationship after relationship because she felt that the guy had some sort of romantic territory he had to claim. She wasn’t going to let herself succumb to the same temptations as her mother.
