Are you gonna be the girl in that dream, when I close my eyes;
Out of everyone the best for me, the one that I call mine?
Are you gonna be the one, the shining star, the center of my world?
I'm not looking for just any girl. Could you be the one?

The mahogany colored hair girl ran from side to side. Her hair flew swiftly in the breeze. Her pretty white dress flowed around her while her feet left footprints in the sand. I, on the other hand was trying to keep up with her. She stopped and turned around to face me, her soft chocolate eyes met my green ones. I walked up to her while her eyes just stayed on mine. My mouth stayed shut for some reason, as if I wasn't able to talk. I put my arms around her waist and her arms snaked around my neck.
She was the first one to talk. "Edward." I tried to talk, but I couldn't. She repeated it over and over. I panicked. Why couldn't I talk? Her voice soon droned out and changed to a familiar voice. "Edward. Edward. Edward." Something was hitting my leg. Soon enough, everything faded away and I had the chance to finally talk. "No don't go" I said.
"What are you talking about? I'm still here. But, I do need a ride to the mall" The annoying voice said again. I noticed my eyelids were closed. Wait, my eyelids were closed?! I sat straight up and opened my eyes. There, stood my sister, mall-ready.
Great, another dream; fourth time this week.
I groaned. "Alice, stop doing that!" For the fourth night that week, I've been having dreams about this mysterious girl. She was gorgeous and had a great body. For some reason, I'm never able to talk. It was starting to get frustrating, really. "Stop doing what?" The pixie-like girl asked. She was so petite but that girl can talk forever!
"Stop waking me up from my dream!" I groaned again. She didn't even bother to listen to what I was saying. Instead, I looked up to see her paying attention to her manicured nails. "Alice!" I shouted. She looked up startled.
"Oh, was this about the dream you keep having?" She asked me and sat beside me.
"Thanks for listening." I muttered incoherently.
"Bro, this is why I go to the mall. Ever heard of the saying 'there are other fish in the sea'? Yeah well the mall is just like an ocean. Get dressed and go catch some fish" She advised. Please this is just one of her schemes to give me a reason to actually go to the mall. Although, I end up carrying her bags from store to store. Alice shut the door after she left to give me a chance to change.
Alice was adopted in my family, but she was so much like my own sister. She was someone who you can have fun with. She is eighteen, just like me. We're both seniors at Forks High School. She's also dating fellow football player, Jasper Hale. I was 'supposedly' dating Jasper's sister, Rosalie Hale. But to me, it was just a fling. Besides I heard my other teammate, (also my best friend) likes her.
"Edward, I'm only giving you five more minutes!" Alice screamed from downstairs. I grunted and grabbed the keys to my silver Volvo. As soon as I got downstairs, I headed for my jacket. "Oh and can we pick up Jasper?" She said hopeful.
"No. If you wanted Jasper to come, he should've picked you up in his car." I said firmly. Ever since they started dating I became a little over protective of Alice. "He would've but, unfortunately, his car is in the mechanics." She replied. I shook my head but she made the whiney voice. "Edward puh-lease! I won't ask anything of you again!" She pleaded. Yeah right.
"Fine." I gave in with a heavy sigh and she squealed. "Yes! Thank you!" Alice expressed gratefully.
We drove to Jasper's house and I honked my Volvo's horn. He came out of his house and shut the door behind him. Jasper waved at us and shook his hair. Alice took an intake of breath for dramatic effect and I had to make a gagging sound. Jasper was heading for the backseat in my car and Alice opened the door to the passenger seat. "Oh no you don't, you stay here! There will be absolutely no making out in my car." She pouted, but this time I didn't give it.
I started driving again once Jasper was in the car. "Hey Alice" He smiled at her. "Hey Edward" he greeted. "Hey Jazz. What's going on?" I answered. Later, the whole car ride was filled with small conversations.
Later on, we arrived in one of Seattle's local malls. Thankfully, I didn't have to carry Alice's bags. Jasper suggested he should be the one doing that. He wasn't disappointed or sad that he had to be the one to do it. I walked around the mall for a little while searching for girls who looked just about the same as the girl in my dream but no one came even close.
I was dissatisfied about my failed search and went to get Alice and Jasper. After, we left the mall. Surprisingly, Alice's advice didn't work. There was no one else besides her, the girl in my dreams. It was a huge let down for me so when I got home I went upstairs, shut the door to my room, and signed myself on 'AIM' all day. I was happy to see Emmett was on. He'd probably say something whack and make the day better. An Instant Messaging window popped up.
BigBear: Hey Eddie! =D
Football-ta-cull-en: Dude, I was hoping you wouldn't say that.
BigBear: Cranky much?
Football-ta-cull-en: Yes very cranky.
BigBear: Let me guess, you had the dream again?
Football-ta-cull-en: Got to go
BigBear: That's a yes
Football-ta-cull-en: Shut up :(
BigBear: HAH! You said you had to go!
Football-ta-cull-en went away 8:33:45 P.M.
So, I guess Emmett didn't make me feel better. I went to bed and didn't bother to have dinner.

I sat straight up after hearing my sister's ring tone: Just Dance by Lady Gaga. I almost cried after realizing I didn't have the dream about the mysterious girl. How did this happen? I moped.
"Edward, get up! I-"Alice started but saw me sitting there doing nothing. "Hey, what's wrong? You look dead. Wait no drool on your pillow! You didn't have the dream!"
"You're psychic." I said unemotionally.
"No, I'm just good. So how're you feeling; Sad, Angry, Mad?" I let out a low, irritated growl and she backed away. "Okay, Okay I'm sorry. Let's just get to school. Edward, by the way, I'm really sorry about your dream. Just get dressed, 'kay?" She compromised and I nodded in understanding. Sometimes she can be over the top. But what else can you get from an assertive, tiny girl?
I got dressed not bothering to search for the right clothes. Besides, all my clothes usually matched. I don't see people staring at me weirdly, more of a kind of desire.
As usual I took my keys from the desk and went downstairs to get my jacket. "Jasper." Alice reminded me and I nodded my head. I remember Jasper asking if he can have a ride to school since his car was still in the works of a mechanic. I agreed politely.
We stopped by Jasper's house to get him and headed straight to our school. I dropped them off in front of the doors of Forks High School and reassured them I'll be fine getting a parking spot myself. I was already used to it. After finding the closest parking space I could, I took the keys out of the ignition and opened the door.
I looked up to see where I was which a usual habit to me was. I saw a bunch of people by our entrance door, but there was something different. I looked back down to face the pavement but then I did a double take. I swear I saw a head with mahogany colored hair. I'm not even lying! It was the same kind of colored hair in my dream too! Whoever it was, wasn't there anymore.
I entered the school with most girls running to side. "Hey, wanna go out?" One girl said. "How about you and me meet up somewhere?" Someone else said. I smiled at all of them and escaped while they were talking about my hair. Emmett was by his locker and I came up to him.
"Hey, man." I said. "Oh dude what was up with you yesterday?" He queried. I shook my head wanting to get to the reason of why I was even here. "Never mind that. Has there ever been a girl with mahogany colored hair?"
"English?" He joked. Yes good, ole' Emmett. "You know reddish-brown hair." I informed him.
"Edward how long have you been in this school? Don't you know already that if you're in this school you're either a blonde or brunette? We have never, ever had a girl in this school that was a redhead, or you know, reddish-brown hair." He explained with a smile but his jaw was open and he wasn't looking at me anymore. It was someone behind me.
"Until now" He continued. I was confused and followed his gaze. There stood a girl about my age with mahogany colored hair but her back was facing me. I was about to faint. Could she be the one?
A/N: Thanks so much for reading if you did! I worked very hard trying to get this chapter right and out. Reviews would be more than appreciated! So please one simple review would make my day. It only takes 5 seconds.
And yes i know the chapter is very short. I'm sure there are a few typos here and there and its because i don't have a BETA yet. I really need one. So if you would agree in a PM or review it would make my day!
Love,
