"Tag, you're it!" Alice screamed, tagging me from behind.

"Hey, that's not fair, Alice. I didn't even see you," I said while pouting.

"Too bad, Bella. It's your fault for not paying attention." Hmph. She always did this to me. Sneak up from behind. Why couldn't she go for someone else? Was I that easy of a target? "Bella's it, now!" Alice told everyone. Great, now this going to take forever. I'm going to catch no one, I thought. I started to look for everyone now. It was the last day before Alice and her family moves to New Hampshire, across the country from the little town of Forks, Washington. I didn't mind so much Edward leaving because he was always mean to me, claiming I had cooties. I mean seriously, we were eight years old. Actually, he was nine! Only five year olds believe in cooties, but he might as well be one with his attitude. Although, I was going to miss Alice and Emmett.

Just then, I saw Angela hiding in a bush a few feet away from me. I sneakily walked towards her, but me being a total klutz and all, I tripped. "Oof!" Angela saw me and started walking away while laughing. "Aww, come on, Angela. Can't you give me a break, pleaaase? I'm never going to catch anyone." I gave her my best puppy face, knowing she couldn't resist.

"Oh fine!" She let me tag her and huffed.

"Thank you! Angela's it!" I called. But when I said that, I noticed it was getting late. Where did the time go? I immediately saddened, knowing the Cullen's were going to be leaving and this would be the last time I ever saw them. Apparently, everyone else noticed the time, too, because they suddenly came out of their hiding places.

"Oh man. It's eight o'clock already. I don't wanna leave. I'm going to miss you guys so much," Emmett said. I could see the sadness in his eyes. My own eyes started to water because of the thought of the Cullen's leaving. Everyone hugged each of the Cullens. I didn't hug Edward, knowing he would probably tell me to get off. The meanie.

"I'm going to miss you sooo much!" I said, a few tears escaping my eyes. Alice looked like she was planning on crying a river. Edward, surprisingly, looked sad, too. Maybe it's because he actually has friends. He met my gaze for a second and then looked away. Does he hate me so much that he doesn't even want to say goodbye?

Mr. and Mrs. Cullen pulled up to where all of us were, and Alice and Emmett climbed it. Just then, Edward did something unexpected. He walked towards me and actually hugged me!

"I'm going to miss you, Bella. Don't worry; I know you don't really have cooties. I'm not five anymore," Edward whispered in my ear. A smile creeped onto his face as he pulled away.

"Really, Edward?" I said, astonished, my eyes alighting with hope. He nodded his head. I just noticed then that everyone was staring at us. I automatically blushed. "Bye, Edward. I'll miss you too," I whispered back. He smiled and hopped into the car. That was the last time I ever saw the Cullens.
