Chapter 1
BPOV
Edward Cullen has been my best friend ever since we were in the 1st grade. The first time we talked to each other was when Lauren pushed me and I fell into a mud puddle. Everyone laughed at me, but Edward helped me and asked me if I was ok. I told him I was really embarrassed so he jumped into the mud puddle and said we could be embarrassed together. We've been inseparable ever since. We're sophomores now and I have the craziest friends in the world. Edward, Emmett and Jasper Cullen, Alice Brandon, and Rosalie Hale.
Edward Cullen- totally perfect. I've secretly been in love with him since freshman year. He has gorgeous green eyes and a smile that makes my heart stop.
Emmett Cullen- goofy teddy bear. Funniest guy in the world, football captain, and he acts like a five year old. He's dating Rosalie.
Jasper Cullen- history freak. He wants to be in the army when he's older and he's dating Alice.
Alice Brandon- little energized pixie. Makes a lot of noise for someone who is so small and loves to go shopping.
Rosalie Hale- crazy shopper like Alice. She's the student social chair and the head cheerleader.
"Hey Bella! We have to go shopping this weekend! There's a HUGE SALE!!!" Alice screamed in my ear. "Aww c'mon Alice! We just went shopping! Edward and I were gonna hang out this weekend." I whined and she gave me the oh-you-are-going-whether-you-like-it-or-not look. I groaned and said, "Fine."
I walked to my locker, which is right beside Edward's, and opened it. I was really looking forward to spending time with Edward this weekend. I groaned thinking about all the stores Alice will be dragging us to this weekend.
"Bells? Whats wrong? You ok?" I loved that voice. It belonged to my best friend, but he sounded worried. "I'm fine...." He knew I was annoyed about something. He always knew. "Is it Alice? Lemme guess... she's demanding that you go shopping with her this weekend. Am I right?" He said with a smile on his face. I laughed and said, "Yes. You're always right! How did you know?" Not that I was complaining, I loved it that he knew me so well. "I know you too well... and I heard Alice yell something about a sale all the way across the hallway." He was laughing now too. He hugged me and whispered, "Don't worry about our plans this weekend Bells. I promised we'd spend it together so I guess that means we're both going shopping with crazy Alice and Rose."
I blushed but luckily he didn't see it. "Edward you're the best!" He smiled and wiggled his eye brows. "I know." I just rolled my eyes and playfully hit him. Emmett walked up to us with Rosalie and shouted, "Hey Eddie!" Rosalie shushed him and giggled. "What Em? I don't get a hello?" I pretend to be hurt and he picks me up into a monster hug. "Of course you get a hello Bells!" He kissed my cheek in a friendly way and Rosalie just laughed and muttered something that sounded like "oversized teddy bear".
I swear I saw a hint of jealously in Edward's expression, but after a second he just joined the hug. "C'mon Rosie! You gotta join the hug!" Emmett made an opening for her to join too. "Only since I love you guys!" With that, she joined our four-way hug. We walked to the cafeteria to meet Alice and Jasper in our usual table. They were already there, and by the looks of it Alice was rambling on about sales and shopping and Jasper just nodded every now and then. "Jazzy! Do you even know what I'm saying??" Alice sounded a bit annoyed, but how did she expect a guy to know about shopping! Before Jasper could reply I said, "Hey guys!" Jasper shot me a grateful look and I just giggled and nodded.
"What are you giggling about Bells?" Edward asked with a huge smile on his face. I whispered, "I totally saved Jasper from the monster we call Alice." We both started laughing and everyone just looked at us like we were crazy. Edward and I were always in our own little bubble. We ignored their looks and just talked about the shopping trip this weekend. Alice and Rosalie were the only ones who seemed excited about it. I was a little excited because Edward was gonna be with me the entire time.
