As I walked to lunch with Alice, my best friend, I couldn't help but notice that all she was talking about was her neighbor Edward Cullen. She was pretty much giving me his life story. He is seventeen, has lived in Forks since he was born, and loves the piano. She also mentioned his dating history,which I didn't understand why until I saw Edward at our table. It was odd because he always sat with Jasper, who Alice was head-over-heels for.

"Why is he sitting there? Is Jasper not here today?" As I said this I noticed Jasper at his regular table with papers and books everywhere.

"Well Bella, he wants to ask you something" When she said this I understood why she was telling me so much about him.

I was over-the-top nervous as I walked to our table. What is he going to ask me? We haven't even talked much besides maybe once or twice in Biology. Oh please don't tell me that he's going to ask me on a date.

"Hello Alice, Bella" He was very polite but he seemed extremely anxious when he said my name. He didn't address me directly during lunch but offered to walk me to class. I couldn't reject his offer since we had the next class together. We got up and as we walked out the door Alice told Edward good luck. Then she turned to me with a huge smile on her face and winked. Oh Lord, help me.

"So...umm how's everything going?" He won't even meet my eyes

"Good, well besides me failing trig, but other than that I've been fine." Finally he met my eyes.

"Oh I could help you, if you want that is, I'm doing well in that class." I giggled.

"According to Alice your doing well in every class." He laughed back.

"Well my parents are very strick when it comes to my grades. They think that if I have lower than a 4.0 GPA, that I'm not going to get into a good college." He shook he head back and forth a few times before looking back to me.

"My parents are the same way. They are considering a tutor for me..." He perked up.

"I could be your tudor." He smiled.

"Sure. That would be better than some stranger in my house. Even though your just as much of a stranger yourself." By now we were in our seats and the teacher walked in. So Edward didn't have enough time to reply back.

Class dragged on, and on. I couldn't even pay attention. I was so wrapped up in what Edward wanted to ask me. Every now and then I'd look at him from the side of my eye and see that he was doing the same. I blushed of course, then turned away.

Finally the bell rang. I grabbed my books and then bumped into Edward, dropping them. I was so embarrassed that I just stared at my feet. Edward bent over to pick up my books and handed them to me. I wouldn't even look up as I said 'Thank you'.

I was totally silent as Edward walked me to gym. I was about to walk in when Edward grabbed my hand.

"You know there is no need to be embarrassed. People drop stuff all the time." I slowly took my hand away and walked to the locker room.

Gym was unbearable. We had to play basketball and every time I got the ball I'd either drop it or I would fall, sometimes taking people with me.

When coach blew the whistle I ran to get changed. To my surprise it wasn't only Alice waiting for me, but Edward too.

"Hey Bella how was gym?" Alice giggled and I hit her arm.

"Fine." I didn't want to tell him how bad I suck at playing basketball.

I saw Alice give Edward a nudge and heard her say 'Go on ask her'. I froze where I stood. I was about to hear what he had wanted to tell me all day.

He looked nervous."Um.."He chickened out. "Can I drive you home?" I saw Alice shake her head. Obviously that wasn't what he wanted to ask.

"Well if you drive me home then what about my truck? Thank you though" I turned and started walking to my truck.

Just then Edward called my name. I spun around to see him right behind me. "What I really meant to ask you is will you go to dinner with me Friday?"

I was in shock. Did he really just ask me to have dinner with him?

-EPOV-

Finally I asked Bella out to dinner. After who knows how long of admiring from afar I finally did it. Without Alice's advice I would still be the same shy guy that hardly even talked to her. Afraid of saying the wrong thing. Now I only have to hope that she will say yes.
