'OUCH!' I yelped as my best friend Angela smacked me across my arm.

She groaned, 'Geez Bella focus!' she said frustrated.

I frowned 'sorry Ang.'

She raised the binoculars to her face and scanned the horizon.

'OMG!'

'What?' I ask curiously

'Omg, Omg, Omg.'

I sighed angrily

'What, What, What!'

'There he is. Greek god at one o'clock.' She said cheekily.

I blushed at the mere thought of him. He is just so cute and he has this amazing untamable bronze hair and oh gosh, his green eyes. I couldn't help it, a sigh escaped my lips and Angela smiled and said 'well, what are you waiting for?'

I smiled back at her and got up from the picnic bench.

'How do I look?'

'Amaaazing.' Replied Angela with a cat like grin.

'Ok wish me luck.'

'Good luck!'

'No you're meant to say break a leg or something otherwise I'll-'

She cut me off with a glare.

'Bella go!'

'Alright alright!'

I turned around and started making my way towards him. It looks as if he had just been surfing. Well ok, obviously he HAD been surfing I mean he was carrying a surfboard under his arm and he had pulled the top half of his wetsuit down so that it now hung at his hips. God, his body is just amazing, he's so ripped. I swear any model, actor or basically any human guy would kill for his looks. I mean I can't stop drooling over him he's just so-

'ISABELLA!'

I turned around quickly almost falling over.

Angela sprang up from the picnic table and jogged over to me. I realized I had only made it 5 meters before I stopped to gawk at his perfection.

Ok I'm usually not this observant of guys. I have lots of guy friends and I never think about any of them this way. Sure I've been on dates and had boyfriends but there was something about this boy. Oh forget it, he's not a boy he's a man. No boy could do this to girls. I swear every girl on the god damned planet wanted a piece of him.

'BELLA!'

Angela interrupted my babbling thoughts again.

'Sorry!' I said apologetically.

'I forgive you…..for now.'

'HEY!' I protest but she's already turning me around and pushing me forward.

'Remember the plan Bella. Oh shit he's looking this way.'

'WHAT! Omg I can't do this. Don't make me do it Ang!'

'What no! Don't freak out on me now Bella!'

'I can't breathe….'

'HEY MASEN!' she shouted and waved in his direction.

'ANGELA!'

'Judging by your horror stricken and panicked expression I'd say you're—'

'Hey Angela.'

Omg he had a voice like angels from heaven, like an elegant symphony or like-

'—and this is my friend Bella.' She punched my arm and turned me around so I was facing him.

He smiled and I felt like a deer caught in the headlights of a speeding car. I bet I look so stupid right now…..

'Omg is that the time. My mum's gonna kill me I have to go.'

I shot her an evil glare but she just smiled and walked off in the other direction.

'Bye Masen! Bye Bella!' she yelled over her shoulder before disappearing around the corner.

I turned back to Masen slowly and briefly wondered why I had even considered this in the first place.

It had all started a week ago at the mall. Angela, Jess and I were shopping. Fun. Anyway, we were minding our own business when we all spotted, at the exact same time, Masen.

'DIBS!' we all yelled in unison. We yelled so loud that he actually turned to stare at us along with a few other random people who were in the store.

We all turned away and pretended it wasn't us but it was pretty obvious that it was.

The next day Angela spotted him again and ended up talking to him. Turns out he had just moved here with his family from Forks.

I know can you believe it? Turns out we grew up together. Well until there was this massive fire and Forks was like almost completely wiped out. Most of the families moved away, Like Angela's, Jessica's, and heaps of our other friends like Mike, Eric, Tyler and Seth. Seth moved here with his mum. But his dad and sister stayed in forks. They have a rocky relationship, and Seth is just such a great guy I can't help but feel sorry for him.

Ok back onto topic. I hadn't recognized Masen at first but now it all came back to me. We had been best friends up until 1st grade, which was the year of the big fire.

Actually now that I think about it we got married in kindergarten. I always smile at the thought, it's so cute.
So for the past week Angela and Jess had gone overboard and tracked him down. Somehow Angela knew he would be at the beach this morning. I didn't even bother asking how, I knew it would lead to a really weird, uncomfortable and creepy conversation.

We weren't exactly prepared however. Well I wasn't. Angela had bathers on with a cute white cover up, while I was stuck in my old ripped jean short shorts and an old singlet. Plus my hair desperately needed a wash and I felt far from glamorous. I mean I bet he gets asked out all the time and it's not like he would even consider going out with someone like me.

'Bella?'

I blinked rapidly and tried to clear my thoughts.

'Uh yeah?'

He laughed quietly and I blushed.

He looked at me with a crooked grin on his face and I felt like I could faint.

'You kinda zoned out for a minute there.'

'Oh sorry.'

'It's all good, I tend to have that effect on women.' I was too busy loitering on the fact that he had called me a woman to even think about giggling or blushing at his boldness.

'So I guess you won the Dibs.' He said casually.

My eyes widened as I stood frozen in shock.
