Chapter 1:

BPOV:

Every time I had somewhere to go, I went through a giant struggle facing what to wear, and what to do with my hair and makeup. Thank God I had Alice to figure all that out for me. That little pixie was a lifesaver.

"Bella, you are so lucky you have me," Alice read my mind as she went through my closet for the millionth time in her life.

"I know," I rolled my eyes dramatically, watching her go through my clothes at lightning speed. She had such a love for fashion.

When I moved here in my freshman year of high school, I was completely terrified to start a new life in a new school that was so far from my hometown, Phoenix. My parents were divorced when I was seven and I had lived with my Mom in Phoenix. Now that she recently remarried, I decided to give her and Phil the privacy that every newlywed couple deserved and live with my Dad in Forks, Washington.

My parents are complete opposites. Mom is always bursting with excitement; always so energetic.

Dad is always calm and shy.

I took after my Dad for the most part, so I was nervous to start in a new school. Without Alice, I don't know what I would have done. On my first day of class, I was assigned a seat next to Alice in Geometry. The second I sat down, she introduced myself, and then talked my ear off. By the end of class-which was only an hour long- she proclaimed that the two of us would become best friends.

And she was one hundred percent correct.

Now, two years later, she is one of the most important people in my life. I don't know how if I could have gotten to junior year without her.

"What about this?" Alice asked, interrupting my thoughts. I turned my head to see her holding a cropped tank top with a small gray hoodie and a pair of dark-faded jeans.

"Perfect for a baseball game, right?" I asked.

She smiled and nodded "perfect."

It was a warm Friday in late March and Alice and I were headed off to the school's baseball game to watch her boyfriend, Jasper Whitlock, play. Watching Jasper is very important to Alice, but she never wants to go to the games alone, so she drags me along. I don't mind going. I inherit my Dad's interest in baseball.

"The game starts in an hour and a half so we still have time. Can I do your hair and makeup?"

"I already have makeup on," I whined.

Alice scoffed. "Putting two swipes of mascara on your eyelashes is not showing the true art of makeup, Bella."

I rolled my eyes teasingly. "Do whatever you want then, control freak."

She replied with a smirk as she plugged my hair straightener into the outlet next to my bed.

"Bells?" I heard my Dad calling from outside the door.

"You can come in."

My Dad opened the door with a warm smile on his face.

"Dad!" Alice chirped excitedly and hugged him. Charlie- I like to call him by his first name when he's not around- smiled widely and hugged her back. Alice had Charlie wrapped around her little finger. Her and I were so close that we call each others parents "Mom and Dad."

"Alice! How are you?"

"I'm good, just making sure Bella looks like the princess that she is," she said sarcastically, causing Charlie to snicker; and causing me to throw a tube of mascara at her.

"Hey!" She whined as she ran to my mirror to make sure her pixie cut was still in tact perfectly. It always was.

"What are you getting Bella all dolled up for?"

"The baseball game," I responded.

Charlie raised his dark eyebrows in question. "You've been going to all the games so far this season, and now you're getting all pretty for them. You got a boyfriend on the team or something?" He was teasing, but I could tell he was still curious.

"Not yet, Dad, but-"

"Okay, Dad, bye!" I interrupted Alice. Dad shook his head and muttered "who knows" under his breath before closing the door and padding down the steps and out the door to his night shift at the station.

"Mary Alice Brandon, you need to stop with this," I scolded her.

Alice and Jasper have been planning to hook me up with the star pitcher on the baseball team, Edward Cullen. Jasper and Edward were best friends, and since Edward has recently became free of the clutches of his now-ex-girlfriend, Lauren Mallory, Alice and Jasper are always egging me on to talk to him. That was the other reason that she drags me to the games.

I hated Alice and Jasper.

But I loved them at the same time. He was such a gentleman; always so sweet and respectful towards Alice. I wouldn't want her with anyone else.

"Isabella Marie Swan, you need to stop with this," she mocked me as she ran the straightener through my dark hair. "Edward is completely gorgeous and we all know you have a crush on him."

"I do not!" I protested, but even I could feel the blush reddening my cheeks. Edward and I had biology together, and we happened to be partners. Other than the occasional conversation at the lab table, we didn't have much history or anything. It wasn't that I had true feelings for Edward, I just thought he was insanely attractive. He was also very nice-from what I had known of him- and was a good person. Outstanding grades, wealthy family, start athlete, and looks that could kill. His bronze, messy hair always looked like he just got done having sex, and his piercing green eyes could cause any girl to faint. And that crooked smile...

"Yes you do!" Alice shook me out of my wild fantasies of licking Edward everywhere.

"Okay, so I find him attractive, but it's not like we're ever going to date."

"Yes you are."

"Whatever you say, but you cannot say those things to Charlie. He is the chief of police and knows how to use a gun and a taser."

Alice just smiled and continued to straighten my hair.

After making sure my hair was pin-straight, and my makeup was done in a light- yet pleasing- manner, Alice and I were off in her yellow Porsche towards the baseball field.

"Who are we playing tonight?"

"Anderson," Alice answered while lowering the slow country tune playing on the radio. "Apparently they're pretty good, so it'll be a good game. Everyone has been guessing that it'll be us and them in the championships."

"Good games scare me," I muttered while looking out the window, watching the trees zip past my view. It was still early Spring, so the trees were not completely green yet. However, they were beautiful. Forks was rainy and cold, but this year it has been relatively warm, which makes the homesickness of sunny and hot Phoenix a little more bearable.

"Why?! Everyone loves a good game!" Alice boomed as she looked at me like I was crazy.

"Everyone also gets nervous because of a good game! That feeling when there's a few seconds left and the score is a tie is maddening. My heart always wants to leap out of my chest and run."

"Well, prepare yourself for that experience tonight, Bella."

The game was scheduled for 5:00, but we arrived fifteen minutes early. This gave us a chance to ogle at the hot guys who perfectly fit in the pants every girl loves- baseball pants.

Although this is the fourth game-and I have been to every one- I still could not get over the way Edward looked in a uniform. The pants fit him perfectly, defining his well-toned legs and amazing ass. The jersey was rather tight around his arms, which made watching him pitch very enjoyable.

As Alice and I took our seats in the bleachers, I spotted Edward practicing off to the side with Jasper. Edward was pitching the ball as Jasper was crouched in his catcher's position. Jasper was the best catcher Forks High has seen in a while. He was always able to save the ball from being thrown behind him, and when someone would try to steal a base, Jasper was able to throw to the infield at lightning speed.

Him and Edward were known as the "dynamic duo" around town. With Edward's amazing arm, and Jasper's catching skills, it was hard to get by them.

"Look how adorable Jasper is!" Alice chirped excitedly as she pointed to him. I giggled at her enthusiasm. After being together for nine months, Alice still could not get enough of him. And he couldn't get enough of her. I didn't know if I was happy for her, or envious of their perfect relationship.

I watched with excitement as I watched the team warm up. Within another ten minutes, the umpire's voice boomed "play ball!"

I spent the game on the edge of my seat. Once we took the lead, Anderson caught up. Once Anderson struck someone out from our team, the next batter would smack an amazing hit. The score was so back and forth that my head was starting to spin. The crowd was the loudest I had ever experienced. I wasn't even in the game and I was nervous. I don't know how the players kept their cool, I would have just literally ran home.

But they were all determined, especially Edward. No matter how much smack the other team was calling, or how often Anderson fans were making fun of him, Edward always kept the same motivated look on his face. He was throwing heat tonight, but their batters were amazing.

By the time it was the last inning, and there were 2 outs against us, everyone was on their feet. We watched as Tyler Crowley went up to bat. He was one of the best batters Forks had. Perfect time for him to step up to the plate. With a tie score of 5-5, we really needed a good hit out of him.

First pitch: ball

Second pitch: ball

Third pitch: strike

Fourth pitch: Tyler hit the ball with an amazing amount of force, sending it sailing in between left and center field. The fans screamed with happiness as we yelled at him to keep running. He made it all the way to third base, causing Alice and I to jump up and down in happy circles. One more hit to send Tyler home would end with a win. I had that annoying feeling I was describing in my car. I don't know how I haven't gone into cardiac arrest yet.

I watched with excitement as Edward came up to bat, the number 17 on his back flowing with the wind. It was all up to Edward to either win the game for us, or send it into extra innings. I felt so nervous for him, but I had faith in his skills.

On his way over to the plate, he snuck a brief glance to the bleachers as people shouted reassuring comments such as "you got this Edward!" and "no pressure, Cullen!"

But the brief glance he took was to smile warmly at me. I could feel the butterflies in my stomach flying freely and the blush rising to my cheeks. The whole outcome of the game was on his shoulders, but he was smiling at me. The thought made my heart even more erratic.

I may end up in the hospital tonight.

Edward took his stance beside the plate, bending his knees slightly and holding the bat behind his head at the perfect angle.

First pitch: strike

The Anderson fans cheered while the Forks fans shouted more reassuring messages to Edward. I clapped my hands for him in anxious anticipation.

Second pitch: ball

Third pitch: ball

Fourth pitch: strike

Fifth pitch: ball

3-2 count. The next pitch determines the game. I almost had to look away, but I couldn't. I didn't want to miss it if we won the game.

Sixth pitch: Edward hits the ball with everything he had, sending a line drive right between first and second base. He made it to second base, sending Tyler home. We won! Forks fans jumped around in the bleachers, clapping and cheering. Alice picked me up and spun me around in her arms, causing me to giggle freely.

"We won!" She exclaimed happily.

"That was crazy!" I yelled, watching as the Anderson fans sulked to their cars.

After the teams shook hands, and the coach talked to the players for a few minutes, they all came out of the dugout. Jasper trotted over to us, a giant smile beaming on his face.

Alice ran over and jumped on him, and he caught her in his arms and spun her around as she lifted her legs while kissing him happily.

"Great couple, aren't they?" The velvety voice said, close to my ear. I jumped in surprise and turned to face him. He made me so nervous in a thrilling kind of way.

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you," Edward teased.

I smiled warmly. That voice was enough to get my thoughts to a naughty basis. But this was not the time and place for that.

"Yeah, they are a great couple." Is that really all I could think of?

"So, who's driving to the diner?" He asked lightly.

I could feel my brow lower in confusion. "What are you talking about?"

Edward seemed confused, as well. "Jasper told me that he and Alice are going to the diner and want us to go with them."

I looked over at Alice with anger all over my face, but she just winked at me. How could she set me up on a double date- well who knows if it even is a double date- with Edward without telling me? I needed to prepare for things like this when it came to him. I was so going to kill her.

There's chapter 1! Stay tuned to see how the diner date goes! Thanks so much for reading.

And please review, I would love to know what you guys think.
