Bella's POV

"Bella!" I turned and saw the most piercing pair of emerald pools looking at me, I was immediately mesmerized, Edward, my best-est friend since I don't know when was running towards me while carrying his messenger bag and three books on his left hand.

"Yeah, Eddie?" I said while the butterflies inside my stomach was churning like crazy. Yeah, I got this crush on my best friend, though I know that the feeling will never be mutual. He only sees me as his little sister. Not that I ever admitted my feelings, but if I do admit it, I might just ruin our ten plus years of strong friendship. You see, my mother and his mother are the best of friends since they were in the same company when we transferred in Seattle. I was Grade 3 at that time and was a shy girl. So, me and Edward are practically siblings. We lost our teeth together, went to the same school together yada yada.

Edward frowned at me. "Bella, I told you to never ever call me that in public. It's just plain childish. I'm Edward Anthony Masen, not 'Eddie'" He said while air-quoting 'Eddie'.

I chuckled "Aww. Why? It's a pretty good nickname. Eddie, Eddie, Eddie!" I kept on singing his horrendous nickname while he continued sending death rays to me. I love it when he gets mad like that, he is just too fucking hot for his own good.

"Stop it, Bells. Anyways, Alice told Jas to tell me that you are going to go shopping after classes." Cue Edward's smug smile. Ugh. Now it's my turn to shot daggers. We went inside his precious silver Volvo and went straight to the apartment we are renting. Edward and I talked our parents into letting us stay together in an apartment rather than getting one apartment each. It saves a lot more money and either way we are just gonna go to each others apartment if our parents doesn't agree. After a lot of persuasion, they finally succumbed to our idea. I thought about Alice, my closest girlfriend since I don't have a lot and Jasper, the silent yet utterly thoughtful and sweet with the Southern drawl guy. We finally finished college and now we are just having classes for summer in some subjects we would like to improve in. I'm having my classes once a week and I only got around six sessions left.

Alice and Jasper have been together for years now. Jasper became my confidant in anything and everything. They lovebirds named Alice and Jasper met while Jasper was doing a gig in a bar and Alice just went to him after the song and told him that she have been waiting for him her whole life. Alice has an uncanny ability to just frigging' tell the future, most of the time she is right but when she gets wrong she will huff and not talk in hours.

Once we got inside the apartment, I started with my plan to change the pixie's mind.

"Tell Alice I got to finish a project, please?" I pleaded with him while jutting my bottom lip. He sighed and got his iPhone and called Alice.

"Fine. But, you talk to her. I'm not really in the mood to talk to a grumpy pixie once you tell her." He said while passing me his phone.

"Bell-uhh!" I heard Alice's screeching scream and held the phone a little further away from my ear for safety purposes.

"Uhm, Alice? I can't go shopping today." I said to that hyper-active pixie while biting my bottom lip. I knew I won't get away that easy, but it doesn't hurt to try, right?

"What do you mean you can't go?! Don't tell me you got a project, 'cause I know you don't and don't even try the you-got-a-group-study thing, I already asked Angela and she said you don't have it." I should have known that Alice would ask first. Last week, when she tried to drag me to one of her shopping extravaganza, I luckily got out thanks to Edward who told me before-hand so Angela and I told Alice that we were going to have a group study. Alice reluctantly agreed before telling me that I'm going to pay for it. I sighed.

"But Alice, you know how I hate going shopping." I said while silently saying a prayer to anyone who is listening above.

"Of course I know Bells, who doesn't, but if I don't help you get the perfect dress you are going to look like a fucking trash girl in the bar tomorrow night."

"Bar?! No one told me about going to a bar."

"Oopsie, my mistake. Just get ready and I'll be there in an hour. No more fighting it, please Bells?"

I sighed. Once she says please, I knew I was done for it. "Fine. But that doesn't mean that I get to like it."

"Yayy!!! Thank you Bella! We're going to have so much fun and I'm going to make all of the guys drool for you." She said.

"Yeah, yeah. See you in a bit." I pressed the End button and returned the phone to Edward.

"Well? How did it go?" He asked while lifting one perfectly arched eyebrow at me.

"Horrendous, painful, torturous, terrible, nightmare-ish. In short, I'm going to go shopping with the evil shopping crazed girl." He chuckled and carried me up the stairs of the apartment while I squealed and laughed at our childishness. Once we were upstairs he told me that I should gain weight because my weight is like a feather while in a perfectly mature manner, I jutted my tongue at him, he ran after me and tickled me. After the tickle fight, I told him that I should go get ready.

We went our separate ways so I could take a shower, shave and get dress before the pixie arrives. When I finished, I brush my hair and blow-dried it. I put on a little mascara and some liner and a pint of pink blush. I checked myself in our ceiling-to-floor mirror which Alice insisted was 'terribly needed'. I evaluated myself and was happy with what I saw. I was wearing a dark green dress with spaghetti straps and the dress almost reach my knees. I was wearing the same color of green ballet shoes while my hair was flowing in soft curls around my shoulders. I also had a pair of dangling ear rings which Edward gave me for my birthday last year.

I went to the living room and saw Edward watching another one of those Science fiction movie while wearing nothing but dark brown boxers. I stood there for a while so I could ogle his perfectly sculpted chest.

"Stop staring, It's rude, ye know?" He chuckled while I felt all my blood running to my cheeks as I blushed different kinds of red. He turned and looked at me, he smirked and curled his index finger and patted the seat beside him. I went beside him and sat while he positioned his arms around me.

"You look pretty gorgeous there, Bells" He winked at me while I blushed and mumbled a weak thanks. He touched my cheeks and smiled.

"I love it when you blush. It looks really pretty on you."

"Well, I hate it. It shows when I'm embarrassed, mad, or flustered." I huffed.

He laughed and stood up. "You want something from the fridge?"

"Yeah, grab me a Coke please." I sat there staring at the screen where an alien and a man was fighting with swords. Weird. Just as I was getting up, I heard the door bell ring and went to it. I opened it and saw Alice wearing a bright smile. I opened the door wider and let her in. Edward went out from the kitchen and nodded at Alice while sipping his Coke.

"Hey there, sexxay!" Alice said while appraising my look. I chuckled. "Well, C'mon Bells. We don't have a lot of time. We only got 6 hours left to shop." Pixie said while dragging me out the door. Edward was looking at us with amusement in his eyes. I waved to him and he waved back and shut the door.

We went to Alice's yellow Porsche. We were singing at the top of our lungs as Jay-Z filled the car. I didn't realize that we were already parked in the mall until Alice opened her car door.

Let the nightmare begin.
