Chapter One: MatchMaker MatchMaker

Bella sat by the phone in the kitchen awaiting the a phone she knew would last for hours. Jessica was sure to call after her date with Mike and well let's just say Jessica has a pretty strong jaw. Who would have thought that a silly plan to get rid of that annoying Mike Newton would have worked out so well, she thought I must of found my calling with this. Mike and Jessica had been going out for 3 weeks now and Jess still got nervous when he would talk to her and this was Bella second match up just weeks before Mike and Jess she had set her friend Angela up with Ben whom she knew Angela had a crush on. They are so cute together, now if only Alice would listen to me. She thought with a frown, the phone rang just then breaking her out of her trance as she braced herself for Jessica explosion of conversation.

"Oh my Gosh, Oh my Gosh, Oh my Gosh" squealed Jess "He is just sooo great Bella I just can't believe it sometimes. What she sees in him I'll never know, Bella smirked

"Where'd he take you this time Jess?" She asked with mocked enthusiasm.

Pouncing on the question Jessica replied "Oh to the cutest little Italian place it was so romantic and then we went to see a movie " she sighed

Like I haven't heard that one before "How sweet of him what did you go see?"

"Attack of the Zombie Vampires 3 I'm so having nightmares tonight."

"Oh so did Mike enjoy it?"

"I really hope so he was such a gentleman he held me close so I wouldn't get scared"

Probably cause he was scared, how can Jessica not see through him "Awe how sweet of him" she didn't know how much more of this she could take

"I know right Bella I so have to repay you for this, and then we could…. DOUBLE"

Oh god no "Jess what a great idea but I'm going to have to pass on that"

"Oh well okay. He's such a great kisser Bella"

Why me Why?! "Oh! Well Jess since I want this to work out what is it that you like about him exactly" she knew this would keep the conversation going but she wouldn't have to contribute all that much except for the occasional mhmm or oh or awe.

"Well for starts he is super cute I just love his hair and his eyes." soon it just became a hum and Bella really had no idea what they were talking about anymore.

"Well Jess I have to go Charlie's going to be home soon and I don't he'll like not having dinner when he gets here Bye!"

"Oh okay bye Bella thanks a bunch" 'Click'

It was my pleasure really it was

Of course dinner was already made but really Jessica's voice was starting to get annoying and if she had to hear one more thing about Mike's hair she might have exploded. So she just sat on the couch not really paying attention to the t.v. until Charlie got home.

I really love setting up my friends but do I have to sit through that torture every time they go out I mean really, it's always the same Mike's hair is so great he took me out to a Zombie movie we went to dinner. Would it kill to have a little spontaneity on dates just to make it a little bit easier on me? Now if Alice let me set her up that would be a different story I wouldn't mind so much hearing about her dates. Alice Brandon my best friend and the girl I've been trying to set up for the longest I may add is one of the most pig headed people I have met when it comes to matchmaking. No one I choose seems to be good enough for her while I know she's right but still it wouldn't kill her to go out with some stinkers before she met Mr. Perfect, but will she listen no.

"Bells I'm home" called Charlie "Come right on in there Carlisle" Oh great that makes my night even better Carlisle's a great guy but his son well not so great. Okay maybe it's a grudge from him totally destroying my sandcastle when I was younger but still that does that.

I walked into the kitchen to see not three but four men standing there. Oh joy they brought Jasper too.
"Hey Carlisle, Jasper" I said with some civility the last name I all but sneered "Edward"

"Evening Bella" Edward replied. Oh sure perfect little Edward always the polite one. Not.

" Bells we're going to watch the game why don't you go for a walk or something"

"Fine dad see you all later" with that I grabbed my coat and headed outside towards my favorite trail. Then I heard footsteps behind me I spun around to see none other than Edward. Of course he doesn't just want to ruin my dinner but the time before and after it as well. I glared up at him "What do you want Edward?"

"Can't I just go for a walk with a family friend without being question for alternate motives?" he replied

"Let me think about that no"

"I don't know why you dislike me so much Bella Swan we've known each other for forever and well you're the only girl that doesn't seem to enjoy my company"

That was an understatement they didn't just enjoy his company they craved it he was basically a drug to them and I could understand why 6 feet 2' with gorgeous bronze hair and piercing green eyes what girl wouldn't want a modern day version of a Greek god's company Oh wait I have that answer Me.

"Oh I don't know maybe it's the little fact that you criticize everything I do nothing is ever good enough for Edward the Greek God " Shit did I just call him that out loud

He raised his eyebrow and put on a crooked smile then said "Greek God?"

I walked a little faster hiding my blush and decided to play dumb "Hmm what did you say?"

He simply shrugged and easily caught up with me "I only criticize you because well no body else does you need someone to be your critic and well here I am " he smiled again

" Oh and who's your critic then it seems you're the one with all the praise not me "

"You'd be surprised Bella Swan you'd be surprised"

Gah I hate it when he's all cryptic like that even though I can't stand him he's right we are friends and have been forever I just don't like the fact that it's true

"So why are you here with Em and your Dad don't you have like I don't know three dates tonight?" I said a little more icily than I should have but then I heard him chuckle

"You know very well I don't date"

"That's right no ones good enough for you here "

"I wouldn't say that there are a few that have caught my eye but I wouldn't want to interfere with you matchmaking"

"I wouldn't match anyone with you that would be just too mean" Oh that was a great comeback stupid, stupid Bella

"Okay I surrender you are just to quick for me Bella" he laughed

"See what I mean there you go again, just because I have my mind on things I would rather be doing than talking to you does not mean I'm slow "

"Okay I'm leaving I get it all these years of friendship have meant nothing to you" he turned slowly knowing I would give in soon enough

"Wait Edward I'm sorry I didn't mean it I just well I talked to Jess before you came "

"Ah that explains it " he laughed

"So Edward who is it that has caught your eye exactly?"

"I knew I would regret saying that " he laughed "None of you business" he said as politely as possible

"Okay I get it Mr. Mysterious" It was getting dark out now and I found the forest creepy as it is so we hurried out onto the lawn and into the house.

"There you two are sorry we already ate " Charlie said with an apologetic smile.

We both looked at Emmett knowing he was the one who convinced them to eat "What I was hungry " everyone started laughing at this.

The rest of the night went by quickly and soon they were leaving and I was already on my way to bed. Wow arguing with Edward sure takes a lot out of you. With that thought I drifted to sleep.
