BPOV

Alice and I have been best friends since 7th Grade. We've always been together. We're inseparable.

She's been with me since, like, forever. I don't know what I would do without her. We've been through good times, and bad times. Especially when my parents died. She never left my side, even when I went Insane.

I'm Isabella Marie Swan, Bella, and my best friend, and little fashion pixie, is Mary Alice Brandon, Alice. And it was on this one night that our lives were changed forever.

"Bella! Bella? Wake up, Sleepy-head!"

"Nrr...?" I groaned and rolled back over only to find myself being jumped on by an over-excited Alice.

"Wake UP Bella! We only have a few days until the Last Splash to prepare and beautify ourselves and here you are, SLEEPING!"

"Alice! Give it a REST already! We have 3 days!" I whined.

"I know but I'm just so EXCITEEED!!"

At this point she had started pounding up and down on my pillow, and I was well awake, but I wasn't going to let Alice know that.

So I rolled over again, only to find myself dumped on the floor with a sore nose.

I sat up and rubbed my nose and saw my grandma in the doorway with a tray laden with syrup pancakes and tea.

"Oh good, you're up. Here, I made you two breakfast!" She smiled warmly at us, her laugh lines showing a little on her creased skin.

"Thank you so much!" Alice chirped and took the tray from my grandma and dumped it on the bed.

My grandma and grandpa have taken care of me since I was a little kid, when my parents died. They're so good to me, we live in a sunny Villa-type beach house on the sunny coasts of Florida.

Here they own a Beach Club, with all the Villagers of the Island as employees. This is where me and my best friend Alice all live (A/N: Alice isn't going to move, cos' I don't like that bit.).

Me and Alice sat down on the bed and started digging into our Tea and Pancakes.

Whilst munching, Alice said in her cheerful voice, "So, what are we doing today?"

I chewed thoughtfully. The weather outside was usually blisteringly hot and sunny, with a light warm breeze. But today, the breeze was fractionally cooler. The perfect temperature for sunbathing!

"Sunbathing at the Beach?" I asked in a casual voice. Nothing could go wrong there...

"Oooh, Yes!" She squealed. "We can boy-watch too!"

Damn. Trust Alice to turn a simple activity like that into a boy-scouting session. I mentally groaned.

I'm 17 and I am single. The same as Alice, although she could easily go out with someone, and most of the time she does. But she says it's not real. Like she does it for fun. She's lucky. At least she can get a date. I'm still waiting for love to find me.

We will both be going to the Last Splash alone. Although Alice could easily find a date, she insists that she needs to go alone. She says she's saving herself for him. (A/N: More on him later..! :D)

Personally, I just think she's trying to be nice to me. I have no date at all and no one has even asked me. And, it's not like I can ask anyone, even if there was anyone I liked.

Okay, so Alice thinks I should hook up with a guy at the club. He's an employee at the resort for the summer, but I've known him all my life. His name is Jacob Black, and we've known each other since we were toddlers when my dad and his dad, Billy, used to go fishing together when we all lived in Boston, before I moved to Florida in the 7th grade and met Alice.

They just moved up here, 4 years later. Jacobs a year younger than me, he's in the 10th Grade, while me and Alice are in the 11th. Alice thinks he has a crush on me, she says she can see it in his eyes. And, quite frankly, I think he does. I love Jacob, but I love him as a brother. He is nothing more to me than that.

Alice doesn't like him, I know that. But she is obliged to accept that we are best friends. Not like me and Alice, but in a way. He looked after me when I was still in Boston. He may be a year younger than me but Heck! He looks at least 20 they way he's built. He is freakishly tall and has lean muscles all over him. He has a muscular chest and a toned stomach, which is kinda hot.

Loads of the girls are after Jacob, I mean, Why wouldn't they? But sometimes, I have a strange compulsion to grab him, to claim him as mine, I-got-him-first kinda thing. I wish I had a legitimate reason, such as us being related. The girls are already jealous enough of me though, being his best friend.

I sighed and shook my head, Alice just giggled.

"Right then. Are you done?" I asked, scooping up her plate when she nodded. "We better get ready to go. Do you wanna go back to your place?"

"Nope! I've already packed all the stuff I need." She grinned, producing a beachbag with a towel, book, iPod, Sun Cream, Sunhat, Sunglasses and a String bikini.

I shook my head. How she is always so prepared I will never know.

"Right then," I said, grinning. "Let's go to the beach!"

Alice laughed and skipped into the bathroom.

This is gonna be a long day.

A/N: Okay, Okay, Okay! What did you think? My first chapter! I'm hoping this is gonna be a long story but I can't promise anything. I hope you enjoyed it! Please review, if you like... :D Remember, the marshmallow is still up for grabs! Love You All! Xx
