Chapter One

"Bella can you believe that we're seniors?" My best friend Alice yelled as we walked through the doors of Forks High. I rolled my eyes at her. How could a person be so happy this early? "I mean we're like the rulers of this school!" I laugh at her and go to my locker and put my notebooks and binders in it. Don't get me wrong, I love Alice like she's my own sister but the girl talk without a break. But she was always like that; since we've met in fourth grade she never stopped talking. She is the complete opposite of her twin brother Edward.

How can I describe Edward? Shy, quiet, funny, handsome, super smart, charming, talented, loving and caring. He has three striking features that could make any girl fall to her knees. His emerald green eyes, his messy bronze sex hair and his sexy crooked smile. I mean he is the perfect and everyone loves him and that's the problem. If you haven't noticed I am in love with Edward Cullen. Everybody sees it and it makes every teenage girl in Forks jealous that he hangs out with the unpopular Bella. Hell, I don't understand why he hangs out with me. I've asked him that once to and he said,

"You're easy to be around with. We love the same things and you accept me, even when I get all OCD with my car and when I spend too much time playing the piano. You're the perfect best friend."

Not only was I happy but I felt my heart break at the "You're the perfect best friend." part. Yup this is the story of my life. Girl meets boy. Boy is hot. Girl falls in love but boy sees girl as best friend. I hate it but honestly, I would be better off being friends with him than not having anything to do with him. Of course torturing myself comes with a price, which are the girls that catch his attention. Because he doesn't know that I'm in love with him and I'm his best friend, he comes to me for advice, which kills me. Two years ago there was the first girl, Jessica Stanley. That was the first time I had to get my act together and boy was it hard. My face hurt from all the fake smiling I had to do but Edward was happy and that's what matters the most to me. His happiness. Then he dated Lauren Mallory last year but that only lasted three months which I was really thankful for, it sounds horrible but that girl was a bitch. No I am not being a jealous best friend; I mean a girl who fucks everything that has a cock is not only a bitch but a whore.

So here I am, a senior, a virgin and ready for a year of drama. There is always drama and somehow I'm always in the middle of it. I close my locker and turn to Alice who is still talking.

"….this year is going to be different, I just know it!" She says and I just smile at her because I know it's not true. "Don't look at me like that Bella. Just because Edward doesn't realize he's in love with you doesn't mean you have to give up." Yes she knows because let's face it, Alice knows everything. "He needs a shoulder to cry on anyway after what that bitch did to him. That's just disgusting." Alice stares at something over my shoulder, "Speaking of which…"

I turn around to an ugly laugh behind me. Ahh, what a way to start the day, not only is it Monday but Lauren Mallory and her pose are standing behind me glaring hole into my body.

"Well well, what do we have here? The couple destroyer Bella Swan." Really? The Couple destroyer? That sounds like a wrestling name…

"Wow Lauren I didn't know that fucking almost all the boys at her wasn't why I broke up with you. Please tell me how Bella ruined our relationship." A velvety voice says behind me and I blush. Lauren rolls her eyes and walks away, shaking her fat ass along with it.

"You know that you don't always have stick up for me." Slowly I turn around and meet his eyes. I gasp at the sight before me.

This summer his parent decided to send him to his brother and sister-in-law Rosalie in California to get away from the drama with Lauren. Boy did it pay off. He had muscles and his tan…god! Why? It's hard enough that he's so perfect but now he's toned! I swear I did something horrible in my past life and this is my cruel punishment. Am I drooling? Get it together Bella! Say something smart!

"Hi..Edward.." Abort! Abort! Don't say anything else! "When did you get so hot?" Wow Bella, can the floor open up and swallow me whole? Or maybe I can just go kill myself. I blush and look at the floor, hoping Edward will just disappear and forget I ever existed. I hear Alice laughing beside me and I could just punch her right now for not helping. Edward chuckles and pulls me into a hug. I wrap my arms around his neck and bury my face in his chest. Oh god he smells so good. Fuck!

"Wow Bella, I missed you and your blush. Am I that ugly?" Edward says and dodges my punch, only to take my hand in his. "I missed you Bells." There it is, my nickname. He knows I hate it but does it anyway, but two can play at that game,

"Aww Eddie. You know I didn't mean it that way." Edward narrows his eyes as I mess up his hair.

"Bella don't you dare…"

"Or what?" I challenge him playfully. What is wrong with me? Are we flirting?

"I know the best torture method." He says while stalking towards me. Me + walking backwards = Bella falling backwards. I feel myself falling and two hands grabbing my waist. I slowly open my eyes and see Edward frozen.

"T-thanks Edward." He smiles and sets me upright before tucking a piece of hair behind my ear. He leans in and I stop breathing as his breath hits my ear,

"I'll always catch you Bella." The bell rings and Edward pulls away and walks away, tossing a "See you later Bella." over his shoulder. I'm shocked and do not know what just happened but before he's to far away I yell,

"Not fair Cullen!" He just laughs and turns the corner, disappearing from my sight. Well this might be an interesting year after all.
