A/N: Hello guys ! First off, belated Merry Christmas, mine was ... ordinary. But i got pretty awesome gifts, how was yours?

Anyways, I 've got this big inspiration of making another Twilight fic, so I really, really hope you guys like this. :-) Oh btw the way. they 're all human here and the characters all belong to the genius Stephenie Meyer.

"Bella ! Heads up !"

Hi, my name is Isabella Swan, I live in Phoenix, Arizona and I 'm a 16 year old girl who sucks at every sport, is very clumsy and hates any wet, cold thing. But today is Gym day and I am stuck trying to shield my head--and everyone else 's--from breaking into pieces. But today wasn 't completely bad, the sun was up and it was shining beautifully. My skin had some color whenever the sun gave out it 's rays, I couldn 't imagine living without the bright sun.

"Bella, I said, heads up !"

And right when my head snapped up to see what was happening, a ball was flying in my direction, i curled my left hand into a fist and punched the ball away from me. The ball then turned into another direction, Edward 's direction.

But unlike me, Edward wasn 't clumsy, did not suck at every sport and almost liked anything. That 's why he was a heartthrob around these parts. He caught the ball effortlessly with a grin flashed across his face. It seemed like the sun was his spotlight when he smiled, his pure white teeth shining, catching every girl 's attention around him. Heh, no joke.

I rolled my eyes and placed my hands on my hips, "Show off !" I gritted my teeth to keep from showing my tongue at him like a 5-year-old. He just laughed and walked towards me. "I 'm not showing off, it 's just easy catching a ball eh Bella ?" he tossed the ball at me and it hit my chest with a big oof ! from me. Edward flinched, "...sorry." I dropped the ball and caught my breath, "Yeah, sure you are." My eyes narrowed when I saw Victoria staring right at Edward with that look in her eyes. The kind that really really annoyed me.

Her grey eyes just narrowed in a flirty way while her lips lifted at one side of her face in a smirk. She only reserved that look for Edward.

Edward saw my expression, looked behind his shoulder and sighed. "Still smirking ?"

"Uh-huh. Smirking like a freak. She might be on drugs, remember that."

"Bella."

"What? It' s just her face ! She looks at you like she wants to freaking eat you, do you know how creepy that look can be--"

His eyes narrowed and looked straight at me. "Knock it off and just ignore her, she'll never have attract me with that sluty look on her face."

I scoffed, "Attract?! What a word, I can imagine you just float to her like a magnet with goo goo eyes if she ever ''attracts'' you." I laughed.

He rolled his eyes and pushed me to look the other way, "Come on, gym 's over."

"Hallelujah !" I threw my hands up in the air in pure happiness, Edward laughed in response.

***

So let me get this straight;

Edward is a close friend of mine--no best friend. Aside from him, Alice is also my best friend and sister from another mother but she 's also Edward 's sister so basically when I go to her house, Edward 's there. Jessica 's a friend as well but she 's not that close to me as Alice and Edward. I just don 't... trust her sometimes. She likes Edward a lot (which I sometimes don 't get why every single girl thinks he 's so hot!) so sometimes I feel like she 's only using me to get to Edward but he got that waaay before I knew it. He 's smart that way and totally over-confident at the same time.

I must admit, Edward can charm a girl 's pants off and he knows it. So he uses it as an advantage to every single girl out there except for me.

CAUSE IT NEVER WORKS.

We 've been friends since 7th grade and I didn 't befriended him for his looks. I befriended him because he wasn 't like other guys who always want to have a befriend a girl for the means of having that girl as his girlfriend. With Edward, it was simple. We met each other in class, introduced each other, and ended up being really tight friends.

We continued to be friends even after 7th grade and even if we weren 't classmates, we were just inseparable that way. When I got to meet his family (in a not-girlfriend-ish-way,) I met Alice and Alice was thrilled to meet me, saying that she 's wanted to meet the girl Edward 's been talking about and that was the first time I saw Edward blush. It amused me to see his cheeks go pink. After that he never brought up what ever he told his family about me but it didn 't bug me either.

Alice on the other hand was just a really bubbly and happy person. Maybe that 's why I loved hanging out with her cause she always puts a smile on my face and there 's never a dull day with her. She loves shopping--her family has the money surprisingly--and takes me whenever she does. I don 't hate shopping, I just think it 's really overrated and it consumes--not only time--but also a lot of money. So shopping isn 't really my cup of tea. But aside from that, she gives away comments like 'Edward would want to see that dress on you, he likes it when you wear blue' or stuff like 'Edward feel uncomfortable whenever you're in gym class' or those random stuff that she mutters but doesn 't repeat it more than two or three times in a day. It just got me wondering why she would say that and not even explain why she would, that 's one of the really weird things about her but I love her so much anyway.

"Bella ! You 've arrived just in time, I got you another cute sweater !" she giggled and gave me another shopping bag. I took a deep breath and accepted it politely, it was a blue sweater from some expensive store I 'm guessing. "Thanks Alice, I appreciate it."

Edward muffled a laugh but Alice ignored him, "He picked it for you." she winked.

My eyes widened an inch, "He did?"

I looked at him but he was looking at the ceiling, "Uh, beige was your favorite color yesterday right ? I was assuming it 's blue now so..."

"But you 've always known blue will always be my favorite. No replacements." I smugged a smile.

"Yeah I know, that 's why I picked blue. I 'm the only one who knows that."

I chuckled, Okay, I'll go change then I 'll meet you guys in the parking lot."

"See ya !" Alice skipped away while Edward walked to the men 's locker room to change as well. I could already see girls staring at him with goo goo eyes and clumsily dropping their books in the process. I sighed, predictable. I turned the other way to the women 's locker room.

When I got inside I could already hear Jessica squealing towards me, "BEEEEEEELLLSS !"

Edward hated it when people called me that nickname. He called it corny.

"Yeah Jessica ?"

"Oh. My. Gosh. Edward Cullen looks so much more handsome ever since Christmas Break ended ! Have you seen him ?--oh wait, you have since you guys are best friends," she rolled her eyes, "Anyways, his smile. So swoon-worthy, how does he get such perfect teeth ? And his lips, they look so... so... kissable." I could tell she was lusting over him once she said 'his lips.'

I almost choked, "Kissable ? Aw, come on Jessica I have no idea how you see him that way ! You 're corrupting my mind !" I opened my locker and began to change my shirt as well as Jessica began to loosen her ponytail. "Well someone should be corrupting your mind. You should be a little more enthusiastic cause Bella--you have no idea how lucky you are to be his best friend. He 's there for you when you need him and there 's a biiiig chance you guys can be together. Can 't you see that at aaaall ?"

Ugh, I hated it when she brought this topic up. Yes, Edward is one of the most attractive people I 've seen but I 've never thought of him as kissable or vain enough to make him like me. I 've always liked him as a friend and as a friend only. Why did Jessica always try to smack my head and convince me to take our friendship to a different kind of relationship. I could never imagine myself with Edward, not that way.

"Jessica, I am and only will be his best friend. I can 't see it in me to be together with him that way. you 're just making it a big deal cause you 're dying to be with him. I 'll just set you two on a date, is that fine ?"

Jessica frowned, she knew the answer to that. "Last time you did that Bella he declined."

"Well then... next time maybe."

Jessica groaned, I was finally dressed in a new set of clothes. "Just think about it Bella. You may not like him that way but he 's only on your mind or he 's always been that guy to make you feel good about yourself, am I right ?"

I thought for a second and I slowly nodded my head then shook it furiously, "So what ?!"

She grinned at me, "Then there 's a fifty fifty chance that.. you like him too. And not just like him like him, you like him more than a friend."

I opened my mouth to argue but she cut me off, "You may not realize it now but it 's better that I told you this. It might be too late when you do realize it without anyone telling you so you should take this from me, okay ? And plus, I 've already known that I have no chance with him. what with all him looking at you with that look in his eyes that he always reserved for you."

That caught me off guard, "W-what look ?"

Jessica just giggled, "Look at him more and you 'll see. This surprises me a lot that you have no idea how much he feels about you. You 're completely clueless !" and with that she gave me a friendly hug and walked away. "Bye Bella, see you in tomorrow !"

I was completely frozen, "B-bye." I said a second too late.

***

When I was in the parking lot waiting for Edward and Alice, I just couldn 't seem to get out the things Jessica said to me.

Sure Edward always made me laugh or smile whenever I was with him but that 's because he knows every little thing about me and he knows how to treat me right. I... I don 't get why he does it sometimes but I pass it out as a friendly gesture. All the expensive gifts and him flashing his crooked smile.

His crooked smile. Is that what Jessica was talking about ?

I clutched the books which were in my arms tighter, my chest seemed like it was about to burst. I always felt that way whenever he would give me that loopsided grin. Maybe she was right, maybe Jessica was right--

"Bella ?" a voice said from behind me.

"Gah !" I jumped and turned to see Edward with a confused expression on his face. He changed into a simple white polo shirt, blue jeans and his old worn out sneakers which were my favorites whenever he wore them. It was just whenever he wore them he still reminds me that he 's still simple and humble, what with all the money his family has in the world.

"You ready to go? Alice said she has other stuff to do, Jasper 's taking her home instead."

"Ah, okay." I said absentmindedly.

Edward laughed, "What 's with you today ? It' s like your head is disconnected from your body."

I looked up at him and sighed, "I don 't know. I guess gym 's getting to me."

"Ohh I think I know what would cheer you up." he smirked.

I smirked back at him, "Try me."

"How 'bout some ice cream ?"

"Hmm, not really. I 'm full."

"Some hotdogs ?"

"Nope."

He chuckled, "Shopping ?"

"No !"

"Ahaha, kidding kidding. Fine then, how bout let 's hit our place ?"

I smiled up at him, "You didn 't need to pretend, weirdo. You 've known that from the very start." I nudged him with my elbow which he blocked.

"I know, I was just checking." and then he flashed his crooked smile at me.

And right there and then, after 4 whole years of knowing Edward Cullen, did I finally realize...

That I 've been in love with him the whole time.

I took his wrist and pulled him forward, "Let 's go then !" I laughed, we were racing to his car but I just ended up tripping anyway. He caught me effortlessly and we got in his car. I asked him something, "Do you always show that crooked smile of yours to other people ?"

"Well that 's random."

"Just answer it." I demanded.

"Hmm, I think I only smile that way around you. I don 't really know why."

I laughed but it seemed off, Edward eyed me curiously. "We should go there fast, you look a little pale."

"I 've always been pale." I snapped.

"Alright alright, she 's grumpy."

I hit his shoulder but he didn 't seem to get hurt, "Knock it off !"

We just laughed all the way.
