Chapter 1

"Ugh! Jess! You know I don't like going to parties! Please don't make me go!" I pleaded. The last thing I wanted was to go to some stupid party that a radio station was holding.

"Come on Bella! I got four tickets! I'm inviting you and Mike, and then you can invite someone to be your date with the fourth ticket! Please! It'll be really fun I promise!" Why did I have to become friends with her? All she does, gossip and make me do things I don't want to do.

"Fine Jess, I'll go." I grumbled, but immediately started making plans to avoid the party. I was a little disbelieving that Jessica actually thought I could dance.

"Yeah!" She squealed. "Now all we have to do is find you date and get dresses and shoes and accessories! Oh Bella, thank you! I promise you wont regret it!"

"Yeah, sure, whatever." I muttered sighing.

"Well it starts at 6:oo tomorrow night which is July 11th. It is the club right across from our usual hangout. Anything else?"

"No that's it. Thanks."

"Now we just need to find out who your date is gonna be! Maybe you should ask Erik to come. He really likes you, you know!"

I groaned internally. The last person I would go out with was Erik, well except maybe Tyler or Mike"That's ok. I've got this one covered. I think I'm going to invite my friend Jake from La Push. But just as a friend NOT as a date."

"Sure, sure whatever you say." Jessica said, but I could slightly make out the annoyance in her tone. She always hated not getting her way. I think she wanted me to have a date to make sure Mike wouldn't try anything. We both knew, though we pretended not to, that Mike cared a little more for me than he should. Especially since he has a girlfriend.

"Ok well bye then." I eagerly started to put down the phone but she hastily interrupted me.

"Wait! After you call Jake we have to go to Port Angeles to go shopping for dresses, shoes and accessories, ok?"

"Alright fine. Bye Jess." Finally I got the poke the off button and give a big long sigh. Why oh why does she have to put me through this? A shopping trip I can deal with, but a party!I think I might go crazy.

I wasn't sure if I was ready to drop the bomb on Jake yet, but as long as I'm going he'll for sure say yes. Now if I could just remember his number. He had just gotten a new cell phone and he just had to change the number with it too. Then I remembered that I wrote it down when he told me.

I dug through my bag until I found the piece of paper that said, 'Jakes number' at the top. I picked up my phone and started dialing. It rang a few times before he answered.

"Hello?" He sounded different. He probably just has a cold. He looked a little sick when I saw him yesterday.

"Hey! Guess what?" I said in an overly sarcastic tone.

"Uuhhh…" I waited as he pondered the horrible possibilities. "You actually found us something to do this weekend?" He asked sounding hopeful.

"I guess you could say that. Jessica actually forced me into going to this stupid party that a radio station is holding. She is really excited because apparently, 'Everyone who is anyone will be there!'" I mocked Jess's annoying little voice.

"And what exactly does this have to do with me?"

"Well she gave me two tickets so I could invite someone to go with me and I decided to invite you. You know just so I have an actual friend there with me."

"Of course I'll go! I need to know some things about it though." I frowned. This didn't seem like something Jake would say, but I shook my head continued anyway.

"I know. This is a formal thing so you need a tux, or at least some black slacks and a nice dress shirt." I knew how much he hated dressing up.

"I'll go for the slacks, thank you. I'm not going to wear a tux to party like that!"

"I figured as much." I sighed. "But I'm not going to provide those for you. So you'll have to get them yourself."

"Fine…" He mumbled.

"Anyway, this thing is tomorrow. So meet me at Kate's Candy Shop." That was one of his favorite places. Lots of candy at a low price, "Ok? We can walk from there to the club."

"Sure thing! When should I be there?"

"How about 5:55. The walk will be about 15 minutes. It starts at around 6:00 so we'll get at like 6:10 or so. I don't want to be the first ones there or anything."

"Will do! Its all set then I guess! See you there!"

"Ok bye!" I hung up the phone.

I couldn't help but think about how different he sounded. His voice was so captivating. So melodic, and almost velvety. Bella! What are you thinking? Snap out of it! Ok well whatever, I'll think about it later.

Like Jake, I'm not one to wear fancy cloths. I tend to stick with jeans and a T-shirt for my everyday attire. Great, I can't believe I have to go shopping to find a dress. And with Jessica, that's just perfect.

I decided to get ready because Jessica would be here any minute. It was actually pretty warm and sunny out today. So I decided on a sky blue tank with a light pink tank layered on top of it, and a pair of capris. I grabbed a sweatshirt, purse and my car keys and headed down stairs. I grabbed a pop tart for breakfast even though it was already 10:30. I ate my pop tart slowly as I waited for Jess to pick me up. Once I heard a honk of a car outside I knew it was Jess. So I reluctantly headed out the door.

"Bells? Where are you going?" Oh! I forgot to tell Charlie!

"Oh! Sorry, Charlie. I'm going to Port Angeles with Jessica to shop for the party tomorrow." I explained as a confused expression came upon his face.

"What party?"

Darn I forgot to tell him that too! "Oh I'm going to a party tomorrow night. I'll be with Jake the whole time so don't worry." As soon as I mentioned Jake, Charlie relaxed. He always thought having Jake with me would keep me safe. Though, he actually was right. Jake would gladly pound anyone who tried to do anything to me.

"Ok then honey! You have fun! Call me if you need anything!" He said while walking up the front steps and back into the house.

Once he was inside I turned and went to get in Jessica's car. I got into the car and buckled up.

"Hey, Bella! You ready to go shopping?" She asked excitedly.

"Mhhmm." I tried to hide my disgust.

Then Jessica backed out of my driveway, turned the music up, and sped off to Part Angeles while singing along to the radio at the top of her lungs. God, this was going to be torture.

A/N: Hey! I hoped you like it! And even if you didnt I still would love it if you reviewed. It helps so much for future chapters and stories.
