Forever Just Isn't Long Enough: Chapter 1
BPOV
Life is just so awesome! I don't mean to sound conceited but my life is just so great right now! I have the perfect boyfriend, the best friends I could ever ask for, the scholarship I've always wanted, and everything is going great.
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Isabella Marie Swan but I prefer Bella. I'm a Junior in Forks High. I'm 5 foot 4, wavy mahogany hair, and chocolate brown eyes. My body isn't to die for but it's presentable. I'm the clumsiest person on Earth and I've made best friends with the ground.
My boyfriend is Edward Cullen. He's a human Adonis. He's 6 foot 1, lean and muscular, emerald green eyes, and my favourite feature about him his untamed copper coloured hair. We've been best friends since we were in diapers. Our moms went to the same high school and have been best friends ever since. Grade seven came along which almost meant hormones. I had the biggest crush on him and at 9th grade at the dance I finally gathered up my courage and told him I liked him. He smiled and said "Took you long enough" and kissed me on my forehead. Ever since then we have been dating. Everyone calls us the high school sweethearts and the cutest couple on campus. Many girls still like Edward and still try to fight for him, they now officially hate me but I don't give a damn.
Edward and I have the same best friends. They are: Alice, Rosalie, Jasper, and Emmett. We both met them in grade 1 and promised each other we'd always be best friends. We all signed a piece of paper with messy finger painting and signed it with our handprints in paint. We all have a copy till this day. Alice and Jasper are dating and so are Emmett and Rosalie. They started dating this year. Edward, Emmett, and Jasper are on the football team while Alice, Rosalie, and I are on the track team.
All of us are aiming to go to Dartmouth. We hope to get in and we're pretty confident with our 4.0 GPA. I know, it's scary how Emmett can get that high.
"Bella, Honey class is over." Edward said and shook me a little.
"Huh? Oh, sorry! I was thinking about things." I said still a little dazed.
"Ooohhh thinking about me already? School isn't even over." Edward said while winking at me.
"Shut up. You wish. And school is done in about 2 seconds" I giggled and pushed his chest.
He paused for a few seconds and then the bell rang.
"You were off by 4 seconds." He smiled.
"Ha ha very funny." I said sarcastically.
"On the contrary it's quite funny seeing your expression just now."
"Come let's just go. We have to meet up with Ali, Rose, Em, and Jas." I said pulling him by the shirt.
"Haha alright, alright." He laughed and took my hand.
We walked hand in hand to the parking lot and spotted Rosalie and Emmett playing tonsil hockey while Alice and Jasper were cuddling each other whispering thing in each other's ear.
"So which would you prefer to do?" Edward asked.
"Prefer to do what?" I asked confused.
"Would you rather play tonsil hockey or cuddle each other and whisper?" Edward smiled his dazzling crooked grin.
I blushed. "I umm...don't know?" I said flustered.
"Haha YES I make her blush!" He said victorious.
"You just wanted to get a reaction out of me?! Edward Anthony Masen Cullen you better start running." I threatened.
He just laughed.
"I'll start counting to five." I said holding my hand up in the air.
"You can't get me." Edward said.
"4."
"I know you're not gonna try."
"3."
"You wouldn't dare."
"2." I started going in a running position.
"Bella...you wouldn't." He said looking scared. He knew I was faster than him.
"Oh I would."
"Now Bella there's no need f-"
"1."
He looked like a deer in the headlights. And took a run for it. I started to sprint after him like a cheetah. Alice and Bella pulled away from their boyfriends and started to cheer for me.
"Woooo! Go Bella!"
Edward suddenly stopped which made me collide into him and land on top of him.
"Edward! What the hell?!" I screamed.
"I'm sorry." He looked up at me with his lashes. Oh great, pull the puppy dog face on me.
"Arg! You know that always works on me!"
"I know that's why I did it haha." He kissed me passionately. I pulled away abruptly.
"Hey!"
"Don't start something you can't finish pretty boy." I said and winked at him.
"And I thought boys only thought about sex..." He muttered.
I got up off him and helped him up. We cleaned each other's shirts off.
"Let's get going. I'm late for practice." He said.
I checked my watched. Shoot! I was late too! I called the gang and we went off to the field. The best part is that while we girls run around the track for warm up we can see the guys shirtless while the practice. Oo la la!
We finished practice with the 100 meter dash and ran off to the girls' locker room to clean up.
"Hey Bells, are you thinking of tell Edward those three magic words yet?" Alice asked.
I have been wondering if I should or not.
"I don't know yet Ali. I think I'll do it on our next date but do you think it's too early?" I asked.
"Don't worry about it Bell. You guys have been dating for 2 years now and have been inseparable since. It's like you guys are already married. I think it's the right time." Rose gave me a reassuring smile.
"Thanks Rose. I think I'll ask him to hang out this weekend and tell him exactly how I feel." I confessed.
"Attagirl! You can do it!" They cheered on for me.
We met Jasper and Emmett on the field wrestling.
Alice sighed. "Boys will be boys." She said and shook her head.
"No doubt about it sister." Rosalie said.
I tried looking around for Edward.
"Hey have you guys seen him anywhere?" I asked Jasper and Emmett.
"I think he's still in the locker room because coach wanted to talk to him." Emmett tried saying while he was in a headlock.
"Yeah Bella just wait outside of the boys' locker room. If he doesn't come out in 5 minutes call him." Jasper said as if he wasn't trying to choke someone.
"Haha thanks guys. Go ahead I'll meet you guys tomorrow." I laughed.
We said our goodbyes and I headed for the boys' locker room. Little did I know what I was going to find out.
