Sorry if some of the grammer and such is off, but when you were five, you didn't talk perfectly either!!
Enjoy... I hope!

Edward grabbed my hand reassuringly as we walked toward the elementary school. Big kids pushed past us as we slowly made our way to the school enterance, but Edward never let go of my hand.
We stopped at the bottom of the steps and Edward turned toward me. "Are you okay, Bella?" he asked me quietly. His green eyes were filled with concern for me, and I smiled slightly. He was so nice, and that is why he is my bestest friend.
I thought about lying and saying I was okay, but Edward knew me too well. Might as well tell the truth. "No," I mumbled looking down at our hands.
"Well, what's wrong?" he asked. "We're in the same class, we're bestest friends… what is bad?" He was so confused. Edward could normally tell what people were thinking, but he couldn't with me!
"You're gonna find someone who's cooler than me to be your new best buddy." I voiced my worries so quickly, I was surprised he had even heard what I said.
He hugged me and mumbled in my ear, "You are my best buddy… you always will be."
We stood holding each other until we saw a camera flash.
We stepped apart right away, and I blushed when I saw Mommy and Daddy and Carlisle and Esme smiling at us. Mommy's camera was hanging next to her waist, but the lens cap was off so I knew she took the picture.
"I can't believe our babies are going into kindergarten!" Mommy squealed, sounding a lot like Edward's sister, Alice.
"You two are so grown up!" Esme gushed.
"Mom!" Edward and I groaned together.
"C'mon, we don't want them to be late," Carlisle said as he tried to tug Esme to their car.
"Let me say goodbye to my little man!" Esme said, shoving Carlisle away. She ran over and gave us both a hug with Mommy right behind her. Mommy gave me a hug and a kiss before walking away.
I wiped the lipstick off my forehead with the back of my hand. "Ewww!" I grumbled.
Big kids started laughing at me and making baby noises. My eyes filled with tears and my lower lip jutted out, only making them laugh harder. I blushed in embarrassment and hid behind Edward.
"Leave her alone!" Edward shouted.
"Ooh! You her little pwotector?" one of the big kids said in a baby voice. He was a foot taller than Edward, but Edward didn't show him he was scared.
He pursed his lips, and his green eyes filled with such anger, I took a step back. Edward ran forward, and kicked the boy with all his strength in the shin. The big kid fell over and wailed in pain. Edward kicks hard cause he plays soccer.
Edward grabbed my hand and pulled me inside. "Thank you," I said quietly. I didn't even notice the tears had slipped out until Edward wiped them away with his small fingers.
We stood there in silence for a moment, until I mustered enough courage to ask, "Why'd you do that?"
"He was being mean to you. Nobody messes with my bestest friend." He grinned crookedly, but it was quickly wiped away from his face.
"Thank you," I said again. No one could be a better friend than Edward.
"Why don't we go see Alice? She's probably in the classroom already," Edward suggested. I nodded nervously. I don't wanna meet the teacher. I dunno what I'll do if she is evil like Emmett says she is.
Edward smiled softly and let me to the classroom. He was right, Alice was already in the room, bouncing up and down with excitement.
"Finally!" she squealed, throwing herself at us. She gave us a quick group hug before pulling back. Even though we were the same age, the top of Alice's spiky hair just reached my nose. Edward had assured me countless times that I was no giant, Alice was just teeny.
"C'mon you two, I found your cubbies!" she grabbed my hand and pulled me across the room. I shoved my tattered backpack and coat into the cubbie that had my name on it. Before I had time to take off my boots, Alice pulled me over to my desk. "Here's where you sit!" she said proudly. Alice had taught herself to read when she was four, and she was really good.
"And-" Alice said starting to drag me somewhere else.
"Alice!" I whined. "I need to take my boots off. The teacher'll show us all this stuff for the tour." I made my way over to the cubbie with all my things in it and tugged off my polka-dot rain boots.
Slipping on my white Keds, I walked over to Edward. "Did Alice show you where you sit?" I asked. I wasn't good at making friends, so I wished desperately that Edward would be sitting next to me. But luck, like always, wasn't with me.
"I'm sitting over there," he said, pointing across the room. He looked so sad, but I knew I was sadder. Edward could always make friends real easy, but I couldn't.
I opened my mouth to say something, but the bell rang, and other kids rushed in, filling their cubbies and finding their seats.
With a wave and a small smile, Edward walked over to his seat. I lowered myself slowly into my chair. This stinks!
"Hi!" I heard someone say beside me. I turned, and who do I see? My least favorite person- Mike Newton. His blonde hair was spiked straight up and it was shining from all the gel he put in it.
He sat down in his chair, sliding it toward me. I resisted the need to barf, barely. I looked to find Edward for help, but he was busy defending himself. His seat partner was just as bad as mine, if not, worse. Jessica Stanley was a girl version of Mike personality wise. I turned to Alice, only to find her shrinking away from Tyler Crowley, who's had a crush on Alice since he first saw her in preschool. Looks like we are all alone.
Mike continued to babble on about something, but he shut up real quick when the teacher walked in. The room was creepily quiet as she took roll call to make sure everyone was here. Then, she started to teach us the alphabet.
"Who can tell me what the first letter of the alphabet is?" she asked. Edward's hand flew up instantly; he knew the alphabet forwards and backwards. "Yes Edward?"
"A," he said confidently. Jessica gave him a pat on the back as the teacher congratulated him.
"Edward is such a show off. He acts like he knows everything!" Mike complained. "I feel bad for Jess, having to sit next to him."
I had been biting my lip, trying to hold in my anger, but I snapped when he said he felt bad for Jessica. I stomped on Mike's toes with all of my strength, instantly releasing my anger.
"Ow!" Mike screeched. The teacher, and everyone else in the room, turned to look and Mike and me.
"What's the matter Mr. Newton?" the teacher asked. She was obviously angry that Mike had interrupted her lesson on the alphabet.
"Bella stepped on my toe!" he said. That little tattle tail! I can't believe he told the teacher on me!
"Isabella, did you do that on purpose?" the teacher asked, turning her angry gaze toward me.
As much as I wanted to lie and say I didn't, I decided to tell the truth. I was a lousy liar anyway, so the teacher would probably see through me.
"Yes," I said. I could feel Edward's gaze burning a hole in through my back, but I refused to break eye contact with the teacher.
"Why did you do that?" the teacher asked.
I don't care what Mike did, I 'm not gonna tattle on him. So instead, I shrugged my shoulders.
The teacher sighed, feigning unhappiness. "Well, Ms. Swan, you are going to have to miss recess for what you did." The bell rang, and the teacher led everyone out the door. Edward and Alice stood at the door, unsure of what to do. The teacher shooed them out, and they ran off shooting apologetic glances in my direction.
I ran over to the window to see what Edward and Alice were doing during recess. Alice was easy to spot. She was sitting with Lauren Mallory, no doubt discussing anything and everything about fashion. I didn't really like Lauren, but I guess someone had to be her friend.
I looked around for Edward, and saw him playing soccer with Jasper Hale. They played rough, and were always talking and laughing. I bet he missed playing sports since he has a super klutzy best friend.
Already, Edward had made a best friend, and I wondered how long it would be until he totally forgot about me.
"Did you guys see Tyler? He was almost touching me! I could've gotten cooties!" Alice grumbled.
Carlisle was driving us all home from school, and we were having fun complaining about our seat partners.
"Why did you really step on Mike's toe, Bella?" Edward asked me.
I blushed and looked down. "He was calling you a know it all, and he said he felt bad for Jessica for having to sit next to you," I mumbled.
"You shouldn't of done that, Bella! You could've gotten in huge trouble!" Edward said.
"You kicked that big kid for being mean to me!" I said angrily.
"That wasn't in front of the teacher!"
"That is so unfair!"
"Is not!"
"Is!"
"Not!"
"Is!"
"WOULD YOU TWO STOP!! YOU'RE GIVING ME A HEAD ACHE!" Alice screamed.
I blushed and looked down, suddenly ashamed. "Sorry," I mumbled to Edward.
"S'okay," he said. "I'm sorry too."
We pulled up my long driveway, and I hopped out. "Bye!" I called.
I ran up into my room and slammed the door. Edward and I never faught! What was wrong? I curled up into a ball on my bed and just laid there. For some reason, I felt that this was all Jasper's fault. Edward said he wouldn't find someone cooler than me, but he already did. How much longer until I was all alone?
What did you think? I hope you liked it, and if you didn't, tell me too!
I wanna make this story good, and it would really help if some very nice people would pretty please review! Please!
Just FYI, if you end up liking this story for some crazy reason... I sometimes only update once a week. For all you people who want daily updates, sure I'll try, but it would probably never happen.
But if you think this is a good story, one chapter a week would totally rock right?
So yeah... enough of my rambling... Please click on that little purple/blue button and review!
