Chapter 1

"There's no way I'm wearing that." I told Rose for the 100th time in 10 minutes. "It's our high school reunion not a night club!" Granted we were going to a bar for a get together the night before the reunion, but still. I knew I was going to lose this argument, I always lose, but I wanted to at least put in an effort. "Bella, you know Jasper is going to be there and you want to be extra hot to show him what he missed out on."

I finally put on the black mini skirt. Seriously, she paid $60.00 for this much material? I must be getting old. The top wasn't really bad; in fact it was kind of cute, until I put it on. It was a purple halter top that had rhinestones on it, again not bad; except for the fact that it was skin tight and showed some midriff and lots of cleavage. "I can't wear a bra with this." I said as she started messing with my hair. "You're not supposed to wear a bra, just take it off and stop complaining.

Now, did you bring any makeup with you?" Seriously, did she just ask me that? I never wear makeup. "Do you know me at all?" She rolled her eyes and said "alright, my makeup it is. I think we should go with purple eye shadow tonight. It will accentuate your eyes. You will definitely need blush because you are so pale, would a trip to the tanner kill you?"

Rose just didn't understand. She was beautiful, with long blonde hair and blue eyes. She was the type of girl that boys fought over in high school. I soo wasn't. I was a triple threat, I played in the band, had braces and glasses. I'm not sure how Rose and I stayed friends because she was so popular and I wasn't, but she was always there for me. I didn't really get noticed at all until college when I got contacts and the braces came off. I guess I'm what you'd call cute. I have shoulder length brown hair that has light brown highlights in it. Brown eyes that are pretty boring. I generally wear jeans, t-shirts and converse.

I'm hoping Rose will let me wear comfortable shoes tonight. I shuddered when she showed me the shoes she wanted me to wear. "There's no way I will be able to walk in those." They were strappy black sandals with a 4 inch skinny heel. "I'm going to fall and land on my face! You know I can barely walk in tennis shoes!" She rolled her eyes again at me, "you know I won't let you fall. You can hold on to me when we walk in and then we'll find a table."

She walked to her closet and started pulling clothes out for her. "I can't wait to see Emmett! I wonder what he looks like now. I'm kind of hoping he has a beer gut and is bald!"

Emmett was her high school boyfriend. They ended up breaking up between freshman and sophomore year in college when they realized the long distance relationship didn't work for them.

I wonder if Jasper and Emmett are still friends. They were best friends in high school. Jasper was the star quarterback and Emmett was the receiver. I had a secret crush on Jasper ever since his family moved to Forks our freshman year. I think I only talked to him a few occasions. I was so shy. He always came over and said hi at all the parties we went to, but I'd always blush and leave the room. He ended up dating the head cheerleader Alice. I called her Triple P, perky, petite and pretty. I knew they went to college together, I wonder if they are still together or not. I guess I'm going to find out in about an hour.

Rose came out of the closet wearing dark blue skinny jeans and a light pink lacy cami. She looked perfect. I'm going to look like the ugly step-sister next to her. "How do you walk in the closet, come out and look like that?" I asked her incredulously. "Bella, have you looked in the mirror yet? You look totally hot!" I looked at her skeptically, "yeah, I will never be hot, cute yeah, but not hot." She grabbed my shoulders and marched me over to her full length mirror on the other side of the room. I looked in the mirror and was totally shocked! "Are you fucking kidding me? That is not me. It can't be. How did you make me look so good?" "Bella, you've always been pretty, you've just never noticed. I think Jasper even noticed in high school. You were just so shy; you were in your own little world." I listened to her and thought about it. I guess she was right. I never thought about it like that.

Why am I suddenly so nervous? She grabbed some red lipstick put it on me and said "perfect." Perfect. I think I'm going to go throw up now.
