Hello my fanfictioners. I have recently discovered a new kind of theme to write about and I am confident that I can stick to this story.
Disclaimer: These characters all belong to the beautiful and intelligent Stephanie Meyer.
"Edward? Where are you? I need to ask you about my dress for homecoming!" I said as I walked into the beautiful 3 story house his parents owned. Edward was my boyfriend and we have been together since our sophomore year. We are now seniors and this year is crucial. Edward and I are trying to get into the same college but it is a challenge. It's putting an extreme strain on our relationship. But I try to help him understand that life doesn't always go as planned and the best we can do is try to stay in the same state. We need to do what's best for ourselves. What worries him is the thought of losing me to another man. But Edward will always have my heart.
"Bella?" Edward said. I saw him desending the staircase and my heart stopped. His beauty is breath taking. I feel dull compared to what this man is and what he can do. He is way to god for me. How I ever got him to fall in love with me is something I will never know.
"Edward. There you are, I was about to go buy my homecoming dress with Rosalie. I need to know what color you want this year." I said. Rose was my best friend. We are practically sisters. She is my next door neighbor and has been since I moved here to live with my dad when I was 5. Rose was my first real best friend that told me everything and she kept all of my secrets. I don't think I could live without Rose by my side now.
"Bells, this really isn't a great time. I have a big history test to study for." Edward said.
"Edward all you have to do is name a color. There isn't much thought to it. You've always picked the color of my dresses." I reminded him.
"Okay Bella. Let's do purple this year then. Now I have to study. Could you please leave so I can concentrate?" He asked. I nodded and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before slipping out the door as he ran up the stairs to his room. Edward has always been very competitive about his academics. He excels and it's not enough. I personally think he just tries to hard but if I ever told him that he would probably break up with me. I got into my car and looked over at Rose in the passenger seat.
"Purple." I said. She nodded her head. She thinks that I should just look for a dress I like instead of looking for a certian one just for Edward. But I like to see him happy and I like it when he loves me. I could never do anything to mess that up.
"Okay then, your extremely possessive boyfriend got to pick the color. Now you have to find a dress that shows off that hot body you have." Rose said. This was another argument we always got into. Edward didn't like me to dress in tight clothes and show off my body to other people. I think his requests are fairly reasonable. The way the girls dress in skanky clothes these days is unappealing. I usually were sweaters or jackets, i try to wear more loose fitted jeans and sweatpants. Sometimes Edward doesn't think they are loose enough or baggy enough so he drives me home at lunch to change. But I love him.
"Rose, please don't start. You know how Edward is." I said to her. The conversation ended as we pulled into the parking garage. I payed the 5 dollars to park and found a parking spot far away from the entrance. I loved to be in the more secluded areas were no one could see you and judge you. Rose and I got out and began walking.
"So Rose, has anyone asked you to homecoming yet?" I asked her. She likes to remain single and wait for the right guy to come along.
"Umm, actually yes. I've had several people ask me to go to homecoming." She said.
"Well did you say yes to any of them? Who are they?" I asked her in a rush of excitement.
"Okay well I did say yes to one. I was going to tell you in the car but we got into our other discussion and I didn't want to give you whip lash from changing the subject to fast." She said. We both giggled a minute before she continued. "Okay so Mike Newton asked me but I said no to him cause he is like a serious creep. Then Alec, the huge football player, asked me and I said no to him to. Lastly the best person, Demitri from the football team who is like twice the size muscle wise of Alec asked me and I said yes."
"My god Rose he is hot! He is like the most popular guy in our grade!" I said as I began to jump up and down with excitement.
"I know! I'm so excited. So I have to find a really cute dress to wear, but not like slutty cause that would be giving the wrong impression." She said.
"Alright! Looks like we will be here nearly all day!" I said as we walked into the first store that looked like it would have something. We browsed for a while and sales consultant came over and gave us each a few dresses to try on. Rose ended up finding the perfect dress and bought it for a great price. I on the other hand didn't see anything Edward would like. We moved on to the next store. I tried on probably every single dress in the store and didn't find a thing. After 10 stores it was about 8 pm and Rose was hungry. Since it is Saturday we are having our usual sleepover at her house.
"Okay we can come look again tomorrow. Maybe Edward can come with us and hand you all the dresses he likes." Rose said.
"Seriously Rose he is just a guy that likes things in order. He likes to know where people will be at certain times so he knows what he is doing." I said to her.
"Okay so he is creepy and wants to know where you are at all times? I don't get why he appeals to you!" She said.
"It's love, you lok beyond imperfections." I told her. We finally reached my car and got in.
The car ride home was short. I ran over to my house and got changed into my pajama's. I walked back over and went straight in. Rose was in the kitchen making us some soup for dinner. She handed me a bowl and we sat down at her table and began to eat.
"So Rose, tell me more about Demitri?" I asked.
"Well I don't know much about him. But he did ask me out on a date for next Saturday. He said he wants to know me well before homecoming next month." She said with a shrug.
"Ooooo, where is he taking you?" I asked her.
"Well I don't really know. He said it was going to be a surprise." She said. You could easily tell it was eating her up inside. Before I had the chance to call her out on it my phone began to ring. I answered immediately because I knew it was Edward from the ring tone.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hey baby, did you find a dress today?" He asked.
"No. I didn't see anything you would like. Tomorrow Rose and I are going to look at the other mall downtown because it has more stores. You want to join us?" I asked him.
"Yeah baby, that sounds like fun and all but I need to work on school stuff." He said.
"Edward you've been working on school stuff all day. When I came over at 11 in the morning you were like halfway done. If you have something else to do then just tell me." I said to him. Rose had her ear to the other side of the phone. I put it on speaker to save her the trouble.
"Look Bella! I don't need you breathing down my neck all the time! I have to do stuff tomorrow so just leave me alone!" He yelled. Rose was getting angry. It was my fault though. I shouldn't have questioned him about what he was doing.
"I'm sorry baby, I shouldn't have questioned it. I know you've been working hard to get into a good school. I'm so sorry." I said to him. I can't breathe when he is mad at me. I panic, it's like nothing makes sense anymore.
"It's okay baby, I forgive you. Just trust me because right now it seems like you don't." He said.
"No baby I do trust you. I promise you I do. I'm just tired. I say stuff I don't mean when I'm tired. I'm going to go get some rest and we can talk tomorrow?" I asked him.
"Yeah baby, call me when you wake up with a sensible mind." He said in an angry voice then hung up. I closed my phone.
"Bella I'm telling you now..." Rose began to say but I interrupted her.
"Rose It's fine. That one was all my fault. I'm getting tired, I think we should call it a night." I said to her.
"Okay Bell, whatever. You will see when the time comes but if it starts to get to serious then I'm stepping in." She said as she grabbed our empty bowls and put them in the sink. We walked up to her bedroom. We talked a little bit more then we set up her floor with blankets and pillows and fell asleep soon after.
Okay so this is only the first chapter. I wanted to introduce the 4 main characters of most of the story although a few more will be added. I needed you guys to see how Edward was in high school and how he liked the power of controlling another human. Bella is blinded by love in this chapter as she will be for a while. This is the only chapter there will be about there high school life. I don't feel there is major significance in writing a chapter all about what homecoming is for Bella because you would all be bored to death. So bear with me here people. There is a reason for my madness!
Please read and review!
