Do you ever feel as if there is a such thing as ex-girlfriends past ghost or something, because I'm being visited by them everyday, especially my recent break up with the head cheerleader of Forks Highschool, Lauren Mallory. As tradition in every highschool, which I still don't seem to understand quite yet, is that the head captain of the football team has to go out with the head cheerleader. Obnoxious or not, it wasn't really my choice. I admit, wherever there is peer pressure I always try to get out of it, but in the end I'm sucked into everyone's endless banter, and to make them shut up; I agree.

Sigh. Nobody in my life has ever understood me, or actually known me, except for Bella Swan. Bella and I have been best friends since...I seriously don't remember it's been too long. When we were younger we were always joined at the hip, never leaving each other's side. We passed our cooties stage pretty quickly and proved it to everyone in our class that cooties didn't really exist, because all the girls and boys would try and separate us; but we couldn't have that. A smile lit my face as I thought about how we proved our point that day...

*Flashback*

EPOV ----9 years old----Grade 3

Today was the last day of school, and no one could be more excited than me and bella because we had our whole summer planned out, and I wasn't going to miss anything for my life. I knew Bella was going to enjoy the plans we made of what we were going to do, because Bella wouldn't stop her little excited banter, repeating everything we were going to do over and over again then speaking with more detail of everything we were going to do all over again, without missing a beat and only stopping for my questions and quicky breaths.

Her face was flushed with pink, sort of making her look like a cute little doll...my doll. I always thought Bella as my little sister, but I think I liked her more as my best friend because I already had a sister and I don't think I needed another one.

"So I was thinking that we should take a camera with us when we go to the zoo becau-"

I was still looking down, but I quickly snapped my head back up when I heard Bella stop mid sentence. I looked at her in confusion and she just turned her head to look ahead of us. I turned my head and was shocked to see all my class mates from both grade 3 classes out side our classroom giving us really weird looks, that made me look like we had three heads and had brussel sprouts coming out of our heads. People seemed to notice mine and bella's hand intertwined together. I felt a little conscious of everyone looking at our hands so I cleared my throat, and that's when everything broke loose.

"HOW CAN YOU GUYS BE TOGETHER AND NOT CATCH COOTIES" Jessica shouted.

"YEAH, I'M WITH JESSICA; WHAT IF YOU GET COOTIES" Mike howled next.

I turned to look at Bella and she was glaring at Jessica and Mike, but her face betrayed her with a bright pink. I turned back towards Mike and Jessica and the rest of the grade three's.

"Everyone, there is no such thing as cooties" I tried to explain, but everyone just replied with some kind of negative answer or a snort. I looked at Jessica and she just raised an eyebrow staring skeptically at our hands for a minute before looking into my eyes.

"Prove it"

*intermission of flashback*

How was I supposed to know that those two words would change my life. Even thought Jessica is Lauren's best friend and the queen of all b**ches, I have to seriously thank her someday.

*Back to flashback*

I looked into her cold blue eyes, "Fine, we will"

I turned towards bella, and bella just looked at me her eyes widening.

"What are you doing" she whispered to me.

I felt pretty confident, because what I said next shocked not only everyone, but me too. But I couldn't seem to regret it...it felt..right?

"I'm going to kiss you" I said loud enough for everyone to hear, i could feel the declaration in my voice which really surprise me, because I was never the one to be in charge; unless if I was taking care of Bella.

I could hear all the girls gasp, and the guys moving forward to actually see if we would actually do it. I turned back to bella and was surprised when I saw her smiling. I think Bella realized that I was surprised that she wasn't angry at my little outburst.

"If this is what it takes to prove our friendship...it's worth it." All I could do in return was smile, she really was my best friend."

"Everyone, you don't want to miss this 'cause there are going to be no repeats. Let me repeat NO REPEATS" Bella spat at everyone. Everyone just seemed to crowd more and more around us to get a good look at us.

I looked at Bella and she nodded. I slowly leaned in, and was met half way by bella. When our lips touched it felt like I was getting shocked and was sizzling, but really nothing was happening...on the outside.

Bella's lips were very soft and warm, it felt like I was kissing some kind of angel and not my best friend. I secretly really wanted to keep kissing with our lips but I knew I had stop to prove our point. We slowly pulled apart and looked at each other with goofy grins and we turned to look at the rest of our classmate.

Everyone was staring at us with their mouths wide open and Jessica's eyes looked like they would pop out really soon if she widened them anymore.

"Finally, I though you two would never stop, it went on for like 5 minutes" Someone at the back yelled out at us. I turned a little red at that comment. It couldn't have been that long, it only felt like a few seconds..hmm...weird.

I turned around and saw Bella blushing again. That's what I loved about bella she would blush at the littlest things, not that this was very little, but still.

I turned back over to Jessica and Mike, "See, we proved your point, that there is no such thing as cooties, just to reassure you if we don't return back to school next year than that means that we got infected by cooties, but if we don't and we return to school healthy that means you leave us alone and that we all declare that there is no such thing as cooties" I said that with declaration in my tone, and that was the end of that.

Jessica replied with a swift nod, and skipped inside the classroom. Soon the hall was cleared up and me and bella soon went to class.

—End of the Day-Walking Home—

"Hey Edward..." Bella said looking up into my eyes.

"Yeah Bella..." I purposely drawled out her name like she did to mine, just to mock her.

Bella glared at me but carried on, almost in a whisper but I still heard her "That was my first kiss..ever"

I inwardly smiled at the thought..I was her first "Well that's good, because now we both know what kisses feel like and we don't have to worry if it ever happens again..because we're prepared, right?"

"Right" she replied wistfully

A sudden though occurred to me, and I had a feel to tell Bella just the same. "Hey Bella, I was wondering if, you know, maybe, we could be the first together in everything we ever do"

Bella looked up at me for a moment, she bit her bottom lip, looking me in the eyes. "Sure"

"Promise" I said just to make sure..

"I promise" She replied, her voice all serious like when our mom and dad's are when they talk.

*End of Flashback"*
