Mmkaye, new story here guys. This is just a trial because I am not sure if you guys like this. Review if you do like it, so I know if you guys want me to continue or not.

This is basically a puppy love story. But don't worry, it also matures later on as they grow older. Its just a cute little introduction to how Bella and Edward's relationship as young teens are.

I laughed as I got my books from my locker. Alice was chattering about another shopping trip again and I couldn't help but laugh. I don't know why, but it was rather funny in my mind.

"What's so funny, Bella?" Alice asked.

"Oh nothing, I was just wondering how you have that much energy in you. You remind me of the energizer bunny" I said with a wink.

She grinned at me and jumped on my back.

"Alice!"

She started cracking up endlessly and got off my back. We then headed to History class which we had together. We entered the classroom just as the bell rang. I sat beside Edward Cullen, Alice's fraternal twin brother.

"Hey, Bella," he greeted me with a smile.

I blushed, "Hi, Edward," and sat down to the desk next to him.

I slapped myself on the head. Why do I blush every time I see him? I need to snap out of it. This is insane; he'll never like me back. He's too good looking for God's sake. And aren't I too young to feel this? I'm fourteen for God's sake! My parents wouldn't approve of this! This is…what they call crushes right? I mean, sure, I've got classmates who are dating but, come on, Edward Cullen? He's you're best friend's brother! Oh, please…

"Bella? You there, Bella?" A beautiful voice asked me.

"Whoa, uhm," I found myself back in reality as I realized that class was over. In fact, the school day was over. "Oh, my bad, I was just…caught within my own thoughts"

He smiled his signature crooked smile. I felt dizzy and couldn't regain focus.

"I'm really fine Edward," I said, "You can go ahead."

He simply nodded and walked out of the classroom. I stared at him from behind and found myself drooling.

"Well, there's a first," I thought to myself.

I got home and began my homework, but as I finished, I thought of Edward again. He was perfect. He was about 5'6" (A/N Edward's still fourteen here, guys. He hasn't reached full height yet) and he had the most beautiful bronze hair. I might be young, but I know I'm not crazy.

My new AT&T Quickfire rang and I picked it up. The Caller Id said, "Alice"

"Hey, what's going on?" I asked as I answered.

"Bella! You wannna come with me to shop tomorrow? I know its short notice but my mom just handed me a credit card. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? I HAVE MY OWN CREDIT CARD!"

Uh-oh. Nothing was truly worse than Alice with a brand new American Express credit card.

I simply said, "Yes."

She squealed and said, "Alright, Edward and I will see you tomorrow at the Americana, then." She hung up.

Edward? Did she just say Edward? With us at the Americana? (Link on my profile :] its truly an awesome place) What should I wear? Wait, I don't really care about those things, I usually just wear my faded AE jeans, a screen tee, my A&F sweater, and purple Nikes. But, I thought to myself, I don't think guys as gorgeous as Edward would admire a girl like that. I didn't own any dresses, or skirts, or heels. What would I do?

I fell asleep late that night, still pondering on what to wear. I awoke at the crack at dawn and started to pick out what to where. It was November here in California, so the temp wouldn't be too bad. I finally settled on one of my Hollister tanks topped with my Aero blouse paired with Billabong skinnies and my special pair of blue Nikes. (Yeah, Bella's quite fashion conscious in this story. Sorry, kinda OOC) When I finished I put on some black eyeliner and agreed that I actually looked more than myself. The typical rebel me, with a touch of girl. Which part was girl? I had no idea.

At exactly 10 am, the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it!" I said as I ran down the stairs. I opened the door to see Alice in one of her signature outfits and Edward in a casual array; his crumpled shirt was a blue A&F shirt whose sleeves were rolled up and a pair of ripped True Religions. The Cullen's' money was like an endless shower of water. These teens could get whatever they wanted. In truth, half the students in my school could get whatever I wanted. I partially had those privileges but my parents preferred to keep me on a budget to prevent any chaos and rebellion.

"Who is it, hon?" My mother, Renee, asked as she entered the foyer.

"Oh, hey, Alice and Edward; what brings you guys here?" She asked, confused.

"Actually, my mom was gonna bring me and Edward to the Americana. But, I wanted Bella to come, so I wouldn't be alone with my brother," she said as she made puppy dog eyes.

My mom said yes of course and let me go. Mrs. Cullen drove the three of us to the Americana and dropped us in front of Jamba Juice. We ordered drinks and after, we proceeded to shop. Alice had noticed that there was a sale at Juicy Couture but I hesitated. I hated pink; it was too much.

She laughed and said, "Okay then Bell, I guess you'll be with Edward then. Can you guys wait for me at the Cheesecake Factory? You can go ahead and order lunch; I'll be there once the food arrives."

She walked in the store, leaving me there with her absolutely gorgeous brother.

He decided to break the silence between us, "So, table for three?"

"I guess," I said quietly. I felt the blood rush through my cheeks.

We headed to our destination with less than two feet of distance between us. Once we entered, we got a table near the clear glass windows. After the waiter took our orders, Edward decided to start up a conversation. And soon, we endlessly talked about each other. I freely laughed around and blushed once in awhile. He would smile when I turned red which made me turn into a deeper shade of red.

Immediately after our food arrived, Alice walked in the restaurant. Great timing, I commented. Our conversation ended immediately ended after that, replaced with Alice Cullen's endless chatter.

When I got home, I climbed up the stairs of my parents' house. We weren't exactly average per say. But we weren't as rich as the Cullen family. My family lived in a four-bedroom house in the upscale neighborhoods of Los Angeles; it was truly cozy and it had a pool, waterslide, a guest house, a game room, and a four-car garage. My dad, Charlie, made a living as the Police Chief of the LAPD and Renee, my mother, enjoyed her job as a top scale designer. She was usually busy, but she took this week off so she could enjoy being a normal house-wife.

"I'm home, mom," I yelled as I went up the stairs and entered my bedroom. I plopped on one the comfy by my fireplace and turned on the plasma TV. The Hills was showing on mtv so I decided to watch, even though I thought the show was absolutely shallow.

By the time the show was halfway through, I was already bored…until my phone rang.

I pulled out the slider QWERTY keyboard and checked it.

I had a text message.

1-818-555-8907

Hi, Bella. I was wondering if you wanted to continue our conversation before Alice interrupted us.

-Edward

My jaw hung open. Edward Cullen? This was Edward Cullen's phone number and he was texting me! Oh my, I must sound so crazy but how could he possibly text me; let alone get my number?

One word. One name. One pixie; it was Alice. I groaned. Why did she have to give Edward my phone number? Now I would have to drool every time I got a text message.

I decided to text him back, trying to sound as nonchalant as I could. Maybe he just wanted to be friends.

Oh hey there, Edward. Aha, yeah I think we should continue our conversation (: But I'll ask you something first. Did Alice give you my number?

-Bella

____

Lol, yeah she did. I asked her and she gave it to me. Where did we leave off of our conversation again?

-Edward

____

We left off where you were talking about how girls wear mini skirts to attract guys.

-Bella

____

Oh I remember. Yeah, I think the way you dress would be much better (: Nikes, jeans, and tees are something that defines you. PERFECTLY

-Edward

____

OMG. I think he just complimented me. Does that mean anything? I mean, does he like me too? It would be awesome if he did though.

I sighed. What chance did I get?

Oh, thanks (:

-Bella

I blushed a deep red. Tomorrow would be an exciting day I guess.

Next day... (Sunday)

I woke up at about noon that day. I had spent all night texting Edward and probably cramped my fingers for life. It wasn't a big problem though, it wasn't as important as the conversation we had last night. I got off my bed and changed into my simple house wear- denim shorts and a Mayday Parade shirt. It was sunny (as always) and the sunlight was creeping through the glass sliding doors that lead to my balcony.

I turned on my MacBook and logged on AIM. There were a few people online and one VERY important person too- Edward.

xCullen002Edwardx: Hey Bella

IsaxBellxA0919: Oh hi, Edward. Whats up?

xCullen002Edwardx: I was just wondering if you were busy today

My heart began to thump louder and louder.

IsaxBellxA0919: No, I'm not busy. Why?

xCullen002Edwardx: Well, you wanna go grab a coffee or something?

IsaxBellxA0919: (: Sure . See ya in a few then?

xCullen002Edwardx: Alright then. You wanna meet at the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf at the Americana?

IsaxBellxA0919: Mmkaye. See ya in fifteen minutes. (:

IsaxBellxA0919 has signed off.

Did that just happen? I stared at my Mac for the longest time after finally nodding. I was going to go on a date with Edward Cullen! Wait, noooo. This was no date; this was two friends getting coffee on a November day. I shook my head and headed to my closet to change.

I met Edward at the designated coffee place and we both enjoyed each others company. My mom had dropped me off at Barnes and Noble, as I had told her I was going to go shop for more books. It wasn't a complete lie; I was actually planning to shop for a book after this so called meeting.

After three hours, we finally decided to go our separate ways. Once he left, I hurriedly ran to Barnes and Noble and picked out five random books. I paid for them at the counter and called for my mom to pick me up.

Fifteen minutes later, I saw her blue BMW stop at the curb by Barnes. I walked to the car and sat by the front seat.

"Did you have fun, sweetheart?" Renee asked.

"You have no idea," I said quietly after nodding to her with a big smile plastered on my face.

Awwh, puppy love eh? This is basically a true story nowadays. I've got a few classmates who actually are in this stage. So don't complain, "Oh they're to young!" Because I am being as true to life about this even though I do believe they are quite young. It's called Puppy Love. And yes, I'm actually fourteen which is why Bella and Edward are pretty young too!

REVIEW PLEASE (:
