Edward Cullen Shall fall in love
Chapter One: Saying it is one thing, doing it….
Short A/N: Wow. I'm pretty much leaving you hanging with my story Pink and my other story Restraint, but… lol… the wait is worthwhile. Especially for Pink, which has a little mini lemon coming. Anyways, please review on this story, tell me if you like it. Parts are modeled after John Tucker Must Die, however, it's not the same situation. Sort of… but not exactly. No revenge is taking place, however, a winning of the heart will. :) Thanks!!!
AU, no vampires.All human.
New school, new people, new home. Not exactly my scene. However, I have no reason to complain. Moving in with my dad was my idea, and my idea alone. I was tired of moving with my mom every single time she met another man, but I did it, because I loved her. And now, she had finally settled down with a man, and again, because I love her, I gave her privacy, and moved in with my slightly odd father. Again, not my scene, nor my idea of fun, but it was somewhere to live, and for that I was grateful.
I think my father and mother were equally shocked when I told my mother where I was going. Ever since I was young, I refused to visit Forks, and now, I was willingly going to live there, no complaints.
So here I was now, staring up at my father's small two story home, whilst he pulled my few suitcases, filled with my possessions, from the trunk of his cop car. Yep, that's right. To me, he's dad, to everyone else in this dinky town, he was Chief Swan. And I, probably, since my father is notorious for talking, was known as Isabella Swan, but preferably Bella. I sighed, and followed my father through the house, up to my familiar bedroom, a soft blue, adorned with yellowed white curtains, and wooden floors. I thanked him as he set down my suitcases. He gave me one of his crinkly eyed smiles, and I couldn't help but grin back.
"So…" He drew in a big gulp of air.
"So…" I sighed, plopping on the bed.
"I have a present for you. It should be arriving-" I heard the crunch of gravel and a loud rumbling engine. "Ah, never mind. Look outside."
I straitened instantly, and peeked out the window. There was a red, rusty, truck, with huge cabs. It looked extremely old. I loved it. I hugged Charlie tightly. "I love it! Thank you!"
He blushed, embarrassed, but returned my hug, however, stiffly. "You're welcome. I didn't want you to have to feel obligated to be stuck in the house, or always ride with me in the cop car."
"Thanks." I smiled, something I didn't do often when I was around him. "I'm kind of tired." I fake yawned. "I'm gonna try to sleep off this Jet Lag before tomorrow. You know… First day of school. Well… for me at least."
Charlie nodded, leaned over, and gave me an awkward one armed hug, and then stared at me for a moment before walking out and shutting the door behind him. I stared outside, at the gloomy, darkening sky, watching the drizzle of rain hit the window, and I let a tear escape, but wiped it away quickly and getting up to unpack.
Hours later, when my head hit the pillow, I began the real waterworks, crying as hard as the rain was hitting the window. It wasn't until the early hours of the next day did I finally fall asleep.

I awoke to the buzz of my alarm clock early on Monday morning, and I shook my head, trying to rid myself of the tiredness that consumed my body. I groaned and looked out the window, trying to convince myself it really was morning, because of the dark, rain filled sky.
I slowly dressed myself into something new, jeans and a black long sleeved shirt. I shoved my feet into sneakers, and then brushed my hair and teeth quickly in the bathroom.
By the time I walked downstairs, Charlie was gone, meaning I was running slightly late from what I planned on. I opened the fridge, pulling out milk, and grabbed a banana from the table. I had looked around for cereal or something more filling, but Charlie had nothing suitable for a teen. I mostly saw Bacon, eggs, and grits. That was it. Bread, of course, milk, and butter, but no REAL food. I sighed, chugged down a couple gulps of milk, ate the banana, threw the peel away, and hurried out the door, grabbing my raincoat on the way.
The sound of my truck's loud engine startled me as I started the car and pulled from the driveway. I drove to the high school quickly, since it was easy to find. I parked, ignoring the stares I got from the sound of my truck, and walked towards where I thought was the office. I was correct, luckily, and nervously walked up to the lady.
"Hi, I'm Isabella Swan." I bit my lower lip.
"Oh, goodness. The town knows a lot about you." The receptionist smiled broadly. "Here's your schedule." She said, pulling it out from underneath a stack of colorful flyers. "There's also a map in there, and some other little tidbits that you'll need. Good luck." She smiled again, then turned back to her computer, her bright red fake nails clicking loudly on the keyboard as she typed.
I walked slowly from the office, dreading homeroom. I wasn't late or anything, but I was panicked nevertheless.
Homeroom wasn't terrible, but it was… different. I kept getting stares, and the teacher made me introduce myself.
The rest of the day passed by quickly. I met a few people, so I had someone to sit with at lunch. But nothing was interesting until gym.
I hate gym, because I'm not athletically inclined at all. I'm the clumsiest person alive. But of course, no one knew that, so I got a lot of offers for a partner. I went with the first girl who came to me.
She was tiny, pixielike, and thin in the extreme. But she was curvy, and she definitely had a chest. Her hair was black, and fashionably cut into a sleek bob. She smiled and introduced herself. The girl talked a lot, so I pretty much knew her whole life story within ten minutes. She was Alice Cullen, and lived with her Aunt Esme and Uncle Carlisle on the outskirts of town. She didn't remember her real parents, who had died at a young age. She had two brothers, Edward, and Emmett, who also went here. She seemed surprised when I said I didn't know who they were. Alice giggled, and told me "I would find out soon. Very soon." I made to question it, but I stopped myself. Alice was gorgeous, and seemed popular. Stuff like that runs in the family. So, I shut up, and talked with her, telling her bits and pieces about my life.
After awhile, the coach blew his whistle. We all stopped walking around the gym and headed for the changing rooms. Alice and I talked some more.
"Hey, I know this is kind of forward, since I just met you, but why don't you come over? I'm having a few selected people over, and you should come too. Meet the fam." She winked when she said that, and I almost questioned why she wanted me to meet her brother so bad, but again, I stopped myself, and nodded.
"I can follow you in my truck."
"Sure." She smiled widely, exposing her white teeth. We finished changing, and we walked to the parking lot. When I saw her car, my jaw dropped. My truck was rust compared to this. She slid into a Yellow BMW.
"This is your car?" I asked.
"Yeah. I know its flashy, but I love yellow. I had it specially painted."
"Wow." I said. "Okay then. I'm betting your house is even better?"
"Nah. The car was just a gift from my Uncle Carlisle. Nothing special." Despite her nonchalant tone, I suspected she was just being modest. And I was right .
My truck pulled into her driveway behind her BMW, and I gasped. Her house was beautiful. It was all white, and HUGE. I followed her inside, tripping several times over the rich carpets.
She just giggled and pulled me into her living room. There was several people situated there, and immediately I was jealous. They were just… pretty.
"Bella. This is Rosalie." A blonde haired girl, with full pink lips, and big blue eyes, with a perfect figure looked up from the TV and gave me a nod. "And this is Angela." Alice smiled, pointing to a girl beside Rosalie. She wasn't exactly gorgeous, but she was pretty. She had layered light brown hair, with an occasional caramel streak here and there. She had green eyes, and a pretty smile.
"Hi Bella." Angela called, then turned back to the TV.
"And this is my Aunt Esme." I looked at the women on the floor. She was much too young to be an Aunt. She didn't look a day over twenty five. Her hair was caramel, and soft. Her eyes were also big and blue. She was slender; yet curvy. She must have been about 5'9. The heels she was wearing exaggerated her height.
"Bella. Nice to meet you. You just move here?" She smiled warmly.
"Yes."
"Well good. I'm glad you've befriended Alice." She grinned.
Alice tapped me. "You'll meet the boys later. Jasper, and Rosalie are brother and sister. Jasper and I date, and Rosalie and Emmett date. Edward is… well Edward. He dates around a lot."
I smiled, sort of overwhelmed by all the information I had gathered today. "Oh okay."
"I have something to ask you though. Something… Yeah. Rose, Angela!" Alice called. They looked up. "Remember… that thing.. that we um… planned??" They looked confused momentarily, then jumped up, and followed Alice and I upstairs. Now this… this was confusing.
Alice shut her bedroom door behind her. I barely had time to look at the richly decorated room before I was yanked down onto the bed.
"We have a proposition for you." Alice said slowly, examining my face. She continued when I made no objections. "Okay, well… My brother is a player. And I bet him that one day, there would be a girl that he would fall in love with, and that girl would break his heart. He just laughed at me. But really, so far, he just goes through the girls, one by one, never finding love. And I want love for my brother, but I also want to prove him wrong. Will you help us? I mean.. win the bet? I really don't want to lose."
"Okay…" I said slowly. "But… What do I have to do with this?"
Alice's eyes shined, probably because I didn't reject… yet. "We.." She motioned to her and Rosalie, "Want to win the wager. So… we need you to be the girl. The perfect girl that Edward can fall in love with. And I mean… In love love. Like, no cheating on you kind of love. I want to make him whipped."
My eyes widened. "I can't do that! I don't even know him. Plus, I'm clumsy, and ugly… and I'm sure that he's experienced! And I know squat!" I yelled, panicked.
"Chill." Rosalie spoke for the first time. "Sure, you know nothing, but we," She pointed to Alice, herself, and Angela, "Have known him for ever. We all grew up together. So, combine us all together. Alice, his sister. Angela, one of his ex's, and myself, his brother's girlfriend, and lifelong friend, we can make you into anything, therefore, making him putty in your hands."
"I don't know." I said slowly.
"Sure, but we know. We know what makes him tick, what he loves, what he does to girls. We know it all… and we'll share it with you. We'll help you. And then, when he's whipped, we'll yank it out from under him, and tell him that we won the bet."
"Why would you hurt him like that?" I said.
"It won't!" Alice said, laughing. "He'll bounce back. That's why its fun."
I thought for a second. Isn't this what I wanted? Friends? And here they were. Perfect friends. Nice, and popular. Surely, that was good. All I had to do was this one little favor, no matter how unethical it was, and I was in. "Okay.. I do it." I sighed.
"Yes!" All of them screamed, punching the air. "Okay. Now… this is how it's gonna work."
I listened carefully while they told me about him. Then Alice shrieked when she saw the time. "Shit! They're gonna be home soon. Oh my gosh. Bella, is there any way we could crash at your house for a couple hours while we finish telling you? I don't want Edward to see you. It could ruin everything."
"Um. Okay. But I'm just warning you… it's a bit… well a lot smaller than you're used to."
"Your worrying about that?" Alice laughed. "We don't judge. We know we're lucky to have money." She smiled.
"Okay. Well then, c'mon. My dad won't mind. He'll probably be pleased. Even though it's a school night, he might even let you spend the night." I joked. Bad idea.
"Really? Oh my Kashi Go Lean! That would be fab-u-lous!" Alice screamed. "That way we can prepare you for tomorrow."
"Seriously? It's a school night." I replied.
"Yeah! C'mon!"
"Alright. I'm sure my dad won't say no." I said uncertainly.
Alice jumped up and ran into her closet, throwing things into a bag. "Um. Wait. Can I call my dad first?"
"Sure." Alice pulled her phone from her jeans pocket, and handed it to me.
It rang twice before anyone at the station answered. "Chief Swan speaking."
"Hey dad." I said quietly.
"Bells! What's wrong? You usually don't call me."
"Um nothing. I was wondering though… if I could have some friends come over to spend the night."
"It's a school night Bella." Charlie replied.
"I know. But I don't exactly have a bedtime. And we'd be quiet. Promise." I begged. "I'm seventeen Ch- Dad."
"Fine." He sighed. "It's alright. I won't be home until ten. I'm going over Billy's and Jacob's to watch a game, and have dinner. You girls have fun. Not too much though. I'm glad you're making friends, Bells." He chuckled. "Alright, I'm gonna have to let you go."
"Thanks Charlie. Uh, Dad. Really, I appreciate it." I laughed, then hung up.
I gave the thumbs up to Alice, but when I turned, she wasn't there. Rosalie and Angela gave me tentative smiles.
"Were you guys coming to?" I asked nervously.
"If you'll have us." They replied.
"Sure… Just know, my house is nothing compared to this." I smiled sheepishly.
"No problem. Rosalie and Jasper's house is like this, but not mine. I'm normal." Angela said. She looked at Rosalie and laughed. "Just kidding."
A minute later, Alice emerged from her closet, carrying three or four huge bags. "Um?" I questioned.
"Well… Rosalie and Angela keep stuff here. You look about Angela's size, a five, correct?"
I nodded. "Good, because she refuses to keep all the clothes I get her, so you can share. They're all new." Alice grinned.
"Okay." I said uncomfortably. "But what else do you have?"
"Silly silly! It's makeup dahling!" Alice giggled then started yanking the bags toward the door. "C'mon people. We've got to move! The boys will be home in about fifteen minutes."
We all grabbed a bag and helped Alice downstairs, and outside. Alice went inside momentarily to tell Esme where she was going, then we were off. We each had our own separate cars, so everyone followed me to my house.
I unlocked to door, and let them in. "well, this is my tiny house." I laughed.
"Nah, it's cute." Alice said. "C'mon. Time to beautify you!"
"Wait? Aren't you guys hungry?" I said.
"Yeah. Food would be good." Angela said, rubbing her stomach.
"'Kay." I grinned. "Um, I have Fries and Burgers that I can whip up?" It was more of a question than a reply.
"Okay." They replied.

Eating was a quick event, and soon I found myself subject to Alice, Rosalie, and Angela's expertise in makeup and beyond. They shoved me into the shower, telling me to avoid washing my hair so they could color it. I sighed, and said nothing. Hey, they looked great, so maybe I would too.
So, I was Bella Barbie for a total of five hours.
And when I turned, I was unprepared for the sight before me. I was…. I was… Barbie.
My hair was layered, and had body. It was curled beautifully and professionally. When I looked closer, I realized it no longer was just dark brown, it was lighter and had a reddish tint to it. It was still long, and fell on my mid back.
I could actually see that I had eyebrows, not some furry road kill on my forehead. Then... my eyes. They were no longer just brown. They were enhanced and shimmery… and… wow. I almost cried.
Then, right after they were done, they started taking the makeup off.
"Hey." Alice said when I complained. "You don't want you pores to clog, do you? We'll just wake you up really early tomorrow and repeat the process."
I groaned, but smiled to myself. Having friends was nice…

The next morning came quickly, and soon I was dressed and beautified again. True, I was tired, by my eyes didn't show it.
I was dressed in an extremely tight pair of jeans, and a tank top with: Fork's High Cheer Team emblazoned on the front. Yes, that's right. Rosalie, team captain of the squad, put me on the team. Apparently Edward has a thing for cheerleaders.
My hair was down and flowing, but flat ironed today. And once again, my makeup was flawless. My nails were painted a bright red, and were extremely shiny.
We drove to school in separate cars again, just making it on time. Instead of homeroom, I had cheer practice and went with Alice, Rosalie, and Angela. They showed me a simple routine, and I tried to memorize it while trying to memorize the plan for today. Edward would see me today when he came in from jogging, as he always did during homeroom. Sure enough, the football team came running into the gym, sweaty and loud.
I stood away from Rosalie and Alice, like I was supposed to, talking to Angela. But I could hear they're conversation.
"What's up?" I heard Edward say to Alice.
"Ah, nothing. Trying to teach the new cheerleader some moves."
"New Cheerleader?" He looked up and laid eyes on me. "She's hot." He turned to Alice.
She laughed. "Don't even try it. She's not your type. She doesn't go for highschool boys. She's into the college type." She laughed again.
"We'll see about that." He called behind him, then approached me.
"Hey, I'm Edward Cullen." He grinned at me. He really did look awfully sexy sweaty. And he had a really nice smile. Anyways….
I waited several moments for replying. "Nice. I'm Bella."
"Well, I've got to run, but I'll see you at lunch. You know… We can eat together."
One. Two. Three. "Maybe." With that I turned and walked away, flipping my hair over my shoulder.
Grrr It didn't exactly go the way I wanted, but it was suitable. Please review! The next chapter is halfway done…. So… Tell me what you think!
