Girl Code

Damn it all to Hell

So I am sure every girl knows about girl code right? That set of rules no one ever wrote down because it is programmed into your head anyway? Don't steal your friend's guy. Ex's are not dateable. And no going out with your friend's brother, or sister I guess if you swing that way. No exceptions.

It's pretty basic really, just the golden rule, with grave repercussions.

So what is a girl to do when her best friend's brother is a god? A true Adonis in the flesh. And smart, the kind of guy you just know will be reading his acceptance letters to every Ivy-League school in the country next spring having achieved perfect grades with ease, while you are busting your ass to get good grades so you don't end up like Mr. Heckle, the school janitor with three teeth. Not to mention the fact that this perfect guy is a year older.

So I am sure you have guessed I am the girl pining after a guy she can't have anyway. Sophomore year was coming to an end, just one measly month left, I was thrilled.

So this is where our story begins, well my story at least. Another Friday afternoon counting down the seconds of sixth period, fighting to keep my gaze away from the untouchable junior god in front of me. The school thought I was smart so I got put in AP Biology, much to my dismay, and once I was in there was no getting out.

DING! Finally the end of the day, three days of freedom, what with the teacher's day on Monday.

As I shoved a stack of worksheets into my binder wondering why the hell they bothered giving homework the last month of school Edward flipped around to talk to me. This wasn't a rare occurrence; we were together a lot after all. Try telling that to my heart though.

"Bella am I giving you a ride today?" He said, with his excellent eye contact, not that I'm swooning over that, it was weird. He always looked straight into my eyes when we talked, like he was looking for something, it left me feeling so unnerved.

"Um…I don't think so, why?"

"Oh well Alice said something about a sleepover and shopping so…" I smacked my head. Of course I forgot, hoping Alice would too. She used her "powers of persuasion"/threats, to convince me to buy a dress so I could go to the dance next week no one had asked me to.

"Oh man I forgot, stupid shopping stupid mall stupid dress." I muttered the list of stupid things under my breath but Edward still seemed to hear based on his chuckle.

"Well we better go, don't forget to call Charlie though."

"Yeah, yeah of course. Thanks by the way, for the ride and all."

"No worries, and if it's any consolation she is making me go too."

"What no hot date for Edward Cullen?" I asked but I knew the answer. Edward didn't date, whenever anyone asked though he just said something about being to busy with music and schoolwork. Oh yeah, the boy is smart, gorgeous and musical, oh athletic too, plays baseball.

"Yeah right Bella."

"Oh come on Edward, like you don't know you're a catch."

"Oh you think I'm a catch eh?" His eyebrows rose. Shit.

"Well I suppose in the, stereotypical, cute, smart guy kind of way yeah."

"Stereotype? Bella you wound my ego!"

"Okay Edward whatever you say. Pick a girl and I bet she'll have you, within reason of course." By now we were leaned against his car watching students pass, running to the bus or meandering over to their cars.

"Within reason?"

"Well yeah, like no girls already dating someone or something like that."

"Oh, well you see Bella I've already picked." There he goes with the damn eye contact again. "And I know for a fact she is out of bounds, I don't even think she dates anyway. So what's your excuse?"

"No excuse. I just haven't really found anyone I want to date. Within reason of course." I answered him looking away.

"Within reason?"

"Well you know, Orlando Bloom isn't really in my league…"

"BELLA YOU REMEMBERED! AND you didn't even skip out on me…well try to anyway." Alice had nearly deafened me again, yet still I love her.

"I did promise you Alice…"

"Like it stopped you last time."

"I told you I didn't need a gown and besides I never promised to go to that sale."

"Yeah, yeah just get in the car." I rolled my eyes and did as she said, praying Rosalie would be meeting us there, she was a fairly good mediator…

So a few things.

1This idea has been frolicking in my head for a while but I put off doing it because I wasn't positive. So please opinions.

2I have not ditched A Million Reasons, for those of you who are reading it. I just have a bit of writes block and felt like doing some Edward/Bella writing.

3I love review and my reviewers. And I appreciate all comments so...
