AN: So this is my first fanfic and I've never done this before so please, please, please go easy on me!
Disclaimer – I own nothing! All belongs to the amazing SM.
Nothing is ever easy when you're in love with your best friend. Of course that person never even notices the subtle stares from across the lunch table, but isn't it just fantastic when his family notices.
Maybe I should explain myself, my name is Isabella Marie Swan and I am in love with my best friend Edward Cullen. I've known him since I moved to the small, dreary town of Forks Washington in the third grade.
~Flashback~
Why on earth did I have to move here? No one even likes me. Of course I just had to agree to move back in with my dad. Oh well, time for torture AKA school.
Well I got through this okay so far. Now I just have to endure recess. I sat under a tree to read my book when a small girl came bouncing towards me. Literally.
"Hi there!" she almost yelled, "My name's Alice. What's yours?" Alice seemed very enthusiastic about a shiny new toy to play with.
"I'm Isabella, but call me Bella." I said while reluctantly closing my book.
"Well Bella, would you like to meet my brothers?" she asked me. Aww, how could I resist that pout?
"Sure, let's go!" Alice seems to bring out my hyperactive side. That isn't the best thing considering I fall down al…
My thoughts were cut short by me doing a face plant in the dirt thanks to my feet tripping over air.
"Are you okay?" I heard an unfamiliar voice say.
"Yeah, I fall down a lot so I'm used to it" I said smiling. Then I looked up from my feet to see a boy who was massive! At least for his age anyway. Next to him was an orangish-redish haired boy, he was the one who helped me off my face.
"I'm Edward" he said, smiling back at me. Then he got pushed out the way by the large boy.
"And I'm Emmett!" he said, then he pulled me into a hug that almost crushed me.
"Um Emmett? Having trouble… breathing… here!" I wheezed.
I heard him chuckle then let go of me. While I tried to regain my breath Alice was apologizing for Emmett's almost choking me to death.
"Alice!" I yelled over her constant babbling. "I'm fine! No need to freak out."
"Freak out?" she asked, curiosity leaking her tone, "What do you mean? I'm always like this."
"Wow." I said.
"We know." Sighed Edward and Emmett.
I think I might like this place after all. I thought, while smiling.
~End of Flashback~
Ah, the first time I met Edward. Of course I didn't know I would feel this way later in life. He is just perfect. Huge emerald eyes that just draw you in. Perfectly tousled bronze coloured hair, that you just want to run tour hands through. And those lips! They're a natural shade of rose pink that most girls would die for.
"Bella? Bella!" I was shaken out of my stupor by the hyperactive pixie I cal my best friend.
"Dreaming about my brother again?" She asked, one of her eyebrows raised. Yeah, she knows. It's so strange she just seems to know these things. Maybe she has a sixth sense or something.
"Aren't I always?" I sighed staring out the window of her very… pink room.
"Bella, you need to tell him!" She said right up in my face, "Tanya's been making eyes at him across the cafeteria and you know what he's like with blondes."
"Don't I know it" I mumbled. Whenever Edward saw a blonde staring at him he immediately goes to say 'Hi' or 'I notices you looking and wondered if you wanted to go out somewhere' it's so annoying… and it breaks my heart every time, I thought sadly.
"C'mon Bella. It's time for school."Alice said, gaining my attention again.
I reluctantly got out of my comfy chair to go to school, and see the love of my life torture me just by being there.
On the way to school Alice was talking about the talent show coming up but I tuned her out. I was to busy thinking about Edward and how he was going to crush my heart today.
Before I knew it we were at school and walking up to Emmett, Rosalie and Jasper. Jasper and Rosalie moved in 5th grade and we instantly became best friends. Rosalie was like a supermodel. Her hair was golden blonde, she had perfect curves and a gorgeous face. And it was all natural. Jasper was blonde like his sister, his hair was shaggy and went down to just below his chin. Of course Jasper and Alice are dating, so are Emmett and Rosalie, that should make me the odd one out considering I've never dated anyone and everyone else has.
"Hey Bella!" Rosalie squealed running up to me for a hug.
"Hey lil sis! How's life treating ya?" Boomed Emmett as he came over to join Rosalie. Jasper was already over here and was… saying hello to Alice.
"Um… Bella?" asked Alice finally breaking away from Jasper.
"Yeah Alice?" I said back.
"Look over there." She said hesitantly, looking behind me.
When I turned around my whole world was shattered into a million pieces… again. I saw Edward kissing Tanya Denali, his on-again off-again girlfriend.
"I guess they're together again." I said, slightly breathless.
"I don't get it. Why should Bella care about who Edward's dating?" asked Emmett. Rosalie and Jasper both nodded their heads in agreement.
"one: he's her best friend and two… can I tell them?" Alice asked me. When I nodded my approval she continued." And two… she's in love with him." There was gasps all around, except for Rosalie.
"I saw it coming." That gained lots of surprised looks.
"Hey, why does everyone look so surprised?" said the greek god himself… Edward Cullen.
Just when I was about to stupidly say 'nothing!' Alice jumped in.
"Were surprised because we saw you got back together with that whore you call a girlfriend."
I couldn't take anymore dating talk so I left quickly. When I was walking away I vaguely heard Edward ask 'What's up with her?'. Really, is he so blind he can't see how I feel?
On my way to English I got sidetracked by none other than Mike-can't-take-no-for-an-answer-Newton.
"Hey Bella! You busy tomorrow night?" he asked, a hopeful glint in his eye.
"No I'm not busy." And just before he asked to go out I added quickly, "But that's because I don't want to go on a date with you."
He looked very shocked. That's right, Bella's got a backbone! I thought smugly. He was so used to the Bella who did no wrong, the perfect little angel. Well I'm not always like that. Not even Alice knows my angry side. She'd be glad about that if she did know.
As I strode away I heard gasps from everyone who heard my little outburst. Get over it! I thought at them, hoping they heard it. This is gonna be some juicy gossip at lunch, especially since Lauren-queen-gossip-bitch-Mallory overheard. I wouldn't be surprised if it was all over the school by second period.
Of course when I walked into class everyone turned and stared. Really? They know already? Lauren works fast. They all looked down once they met my glare. Ha! Didn't expect that did you?
Before I knew it I was in lunch listening to my friends (minus Edward) talk exitedly about how I scared my entire English class.
"I didn't know you could glare enough to care people! Show me!" Emmett nearly yelled in my ear. I mustered up all of my anger and glared full force at him.
He actually moved backwards in his chair.
"Woah, what happened? Bella's got one mean glare."
" You've got that right!" I said to all of their shocked faces.
"What's this I hear about Bella turning down Mike by acting like a bitch." My personal Adonis is back.
"Oh it wasn't acting." I said smiling.
"You do realise you just called yourself a bitch?" he asked, bemused.
"Yeah I do." I said in a sickly sweet voice.
He walked to Tanya's table shaking his head and muttering things under his breath I couldn't hear.
This might be fun messing with him. Internally smiling like a maniac I walked to Biology. The one class I had with Edward.
An: so? Love it? Hate it? I accept flames even if I don't appreciate them. Right now at this point in time I am on MSN with my bff Leigh (Some of you might know her as sexybite112) she's telling me to finish so she can read it when she doesn't even like Twilight – She's insane for thinking that! – Well she's insane anyway.
Enough about my life!
