Chapter 1
Bella's pov"Bella, come on!" my best friend Cassie called from her red mustang that was parked in my driveway. Cassie was one of the nicest people in our school; she was also my only best friend. She had long dark hair and hazel eyes. She was about 5'2 in height and was very skinny. I quickly grabbed my purse and walked out of my house and into the California heat.
"What's your hurry Cass?" I asked when I got in the car.
"Look, Wal-Mart is having a sale on clothes and I need to get there." Cass said
"Wouldn't you rather go to the beach?" I asked, I didn't want to start my weekend off by going shopping. Cass looked at me like I was crazy.
"Bella! What are you talking about? I went yesterday with my mom and saw this new cute guy who works there. Ah he is to die for! Wait till you see him!" Cass said as she backed out of my driveway.
"But I need to tan!" I complained
"Bella, stop complaining and we can go to the beach afterwards."
"But all the cute guys will be gone."
"Bella I can't believe I'm doing this. But to the beach!" I smiled at Cassie I could always make her do things I wanted to.
"Sweet! Let's go to wal-mart because I need to buy sun screen!" Cass gave me a mad face.
"Bella! I wish you would make up your mind!" she said then drove to wal-mart.
"Well now you can show me this cute guy that works here!" I said and jumped out, Cass looked at me and smiled.
"Oh yeah! Come on, he's always on Aisle 3." She grabbed my arm and dragged me in to Wal-Mart. She started pulling me over to him when I stopped.
"Cass let's buy things first. Then go there." She agreed and we went to buy things.
"BELLA! You have to come over here now!" she screamed and I ran to her, she was hyperventilating over this amazing cute red top.
"I want it!" I said and looked at the price. "UGH! It's $25! I can't afford it!" I looked at Cassie and she had an evil grin on her face. "What?"
"Let's get it!"
"I can't afford it!"
"Exactly, it will give us a chance to talk to that new guy!" Cassie grabbed it then ran to Aisle 3. She looked back at me and motioned for me to come on. I groaned then ran to her. Sometimes I wish I had more friends. Cass was a great friend but she always had her mind on clothes or guys.
"Did you find everything ok?" the new guy said when we walked up there.
"Yeah, we did. You're new here right?" Cass said; my mouth hung open. He was so cute.
"Yeah I am my family and I moved down here a few days ago. Ok that will be $26.98." he said I looked at his nameplate and saw it said Edward.
"Sigh, I don't have enough money." Cass was a really good actor; of course I was focusing on Edward. "Bella, do you have any money?" Cassie turned to me and laughed a nervous laugh. I still had my mouth open drooling over Edward. I didn't even hear Lisa come up.
"Hi Losers! Look at that, I love it I'll take it!" Lisa said, I closed my mouth and turned to her.
"Lisa we're already buying that shirt." Lisa laughed.
"I wasn't talking about the shirt." Lisa said, and then looked back at Cassie and me. "Later losers! Oh dress nice, tomorrows picture day!" Lisa left I turned back to Cassie.
"Why do I feel like she's going to do something to us to ruin our pictures?"
"Probably because she will. Anyway! Bella do you have any money?" I blinked my eyes and turned back to Edward.
"Hi…" I giggled and then Cassie punched my arm "What was that for?"
"Bella we are wasting time."
"Well this was your plan, so you could see him." I fought with her. Edward sighed and looked at us.
"Look I don't have time, I need to work. Do you have the money?" Edward's tone got serious,
"Um.. I only have 10 bucks." I said, looking down.
"That's perfect I have 10. We'll take it!" Cassie said, I looked down and didn't say anything the rest of the day.
On the beach!
"Bella, you haven't said anything this whole time! Don't let what happened at Wal-Mart bug you. I did the same thing when I first saw him. I'm sure other girls do it too." Cassie assured me, I still wasn't over what happened at Wal-Mart. I had acted like an idiot.
"Cass I'm not like you! You're outgoing; I'm not!"
"Bella we have been best friends since 5th grade, I know you better than you know yourself, don't worry about it! now let's turn on the radio and chill!" I nodded and Cass turned the radio on, I listened and waited for something I knew to come on. Finally Better than drugs came on by Skillet, Cass looked at me and smiled. "Come on Bella!" she stood up and started dancing and singing to it. I shook my head.
"Cass I haven't danced to this song since we were in 8th grade!"
"Two years come on Bella get up!" she grabbed my arm and forced me onto my feet. We danced on the beach and acted goofy in front of everyone. I didn't even see Cassie walk away so I kept doing it. I, being the idiot that I am, started singing with the radio.
"Feel
your every heartbeat
Feel you on these empty nights
Calm the
ache, stop the shakes
You clear my mind
You're my escape
From this messed up place
'Cause you let me forget
You
numb my pain
How can I tell you just all that you are
What
you do to me
You're better than drugs
your love is like
wine
Feel you comin' on so fast
Feel you comin' to get me
high
You're better than drugs
Addicted for life
Feel you
comin' on so fast
Feel you comin' on to get me high
Feel
you when I'm restless
Feel you when I cannot cope
You're my
addiction, my prescription, my antidote
You kill the poison
Ease
the suffering
Calm the rage when I'm afraid
To feel again
How can I tell you just all that you are
What you do to me "
"Bella? you ready to go?" I looked and saw Cassie standing with a guy.
"Cass! I thought you were here!"
"Bells, I left 10 minutes ago when I saw Matt." I looked next to her and saw Matt Horowitz standing next to her. Matt was in our grade and had been dating Cass since 8th grade. He had brown hair that hung over his baby blue eyes.
"Hi Matt." I said nervously.
"Hi Bella? Right?" I looked down of course Matt didn't know my name why should he? No one knew my name besides Cassie.
"Yeah, Cassie I'm gonna walk home. See you later." I said then walked off.
"Bella, take my car. I can ride home in Matt's car." she ran up to me and gave me the keys to her mustang then gave me a hug.
"Thanks Cass. I'll pick you up tomorrow for school?" I asked and she nodded. "See you later." I called to her then walked off to her car. I put the keys in the engine and sighed, I should have had my own car, but Charlie couldn't afford it with his salary. I drove down the road to my house and parked in my driveway.
"Bella, how was your day?" Charlie came out and greeted me.
"Good, Cass let me borrow her car to get home." I said when I saw him eyeing it.
"Oh okay. How is she going to get home?" he asked.
"She's going to ride with her boyfriend." I said then walked past him into my room. I laid the wal-mart sack on my bed and laid down on my stomach and thought about Edward. His face was engraved in my mind like a picture.
