School. Fun. I know. But it's not all bad.

I opened my eyes and looked at my clock and saw that it was 6:00. I got out of bed and jumped into the shower. When it got out, I set in on the task of taming my hair. I had been trying not to focus on the disaster that I called Friday. To say it had not gone well would be the understatement of the year. When I had got to my room I cried my eyes out.

Mike was a real piece of work. I can't believe he had the nerve to do what he did. At least that's never going to happen again. True, true.

I went out to the monster and fired her up. The only problem was, she wouldn't start. "Please don't do this to me!" I tried again and all I got were a few sputters and a weird grinding sound. I laid my head on the steering wheel. "That's fucking fantastic." I hopped out and texted Alice for a ride. She replied back with a sure, so I went back inside to wait for the Cullens.

My mind immediately wandered to Alice's twin. Edward. I let out a sigh and shook my head. Better get those thoughts out of my head, it's not like they would ever come true. A girl can dream, can't she?

Just then, my phone buzzed in my front pocket. Mike. Ugh. I opened my phone to see what he had to say.

Hey Baby, I had fun on Friday.

-Mikey


Wow, in high school and you still use your kindergarten nickname? I must've hit him harder than I thought too.

I heard the Volvo pull up in my drive way, so I walked and texted at the same time.

Fuck off you son of a bitch.

-B

That should do it. I saw Edward's small smile as I got in the car, and I realized it was probably from me stumbling. You can't help it, he makes you weak in the knees just to be around him! That he does.

I knew I was probably scowling, but I couldn't help it. I hate talking to asshats. "Bella, what's wrong?" Alice asked.

"Stupid Mike Newton! Alice, he's such a pig! No wait, that's an insult to pigs! He brought me home on Friday after a pretty nice date, and everything was going okay. Then the goodnight kiss. He started groping and shoving his tongue down my throat! I almost puked in his mouth!" I vented. I could've sworn I saw Edward's grip tighten on the wheel.

"Oh my God! What did you do?" Alice's eye's widened with shock.

"I punched him in the face. My hand still hurts, but it was totally worth it." I glanced down to my slightly swollen hand. It felt damn good too.

"I really hope you gave him a black eye." Alice laughed. Edward was laughing softly next to her. "He'd look like Petey from the Little Rascals." I laughed too. Then I realized we were missing someone. " Where's Emmett?"

Alice rolled her eyes. "He fell asleep 'studying' at Rose and Jasper's."

"Yeah, cause 'studying' is a real workout." I scoffed. Those two were shameless.

"When it's Em and Rose, it definitely is. I swear, those two are like rabbits!" Alice laughed.

"Look who's talking! I used to lose sleep hearing you two go at it! You're lucky mom and dad are two floors below us, or else Jasper might not be living!" Edward laughed. God I love his laugh!

"It's more than you get! Actually, it's way more than you've ever gotten!" She spat back. A pink color slowly tinted Edward's cheeks.

"Alice, lay off him! I think it's sweet! I haven't cashed in my V-Card either, remember?" I pointed out.

"Thanks Bells." he mumbled. I could tell he was embarrassed, but he didn't need to be.

"No problem Edward." I glared at Alice and moved on to other things. "Practice is going for an extra half hour today, you got the memo out right?"

"Yeah, Vicky, Lauren, and Jessica weren't happy about it, but they agreed we need the practice. Angela and Rose are gonna work with them on the back-hand springs. Now that's what I call a hot mess!" Alice cringed. " Oh, and they asked if the guys were having a longer practice." she giggled.

Edward groaned. No one liked them, and I feel bad that he had to endure them following him around. "Alice, shut it. I'm so sick of them accidentally spilling shit all down their fronts just to make their tops see-through! Not attractive when a girl is just begging for it like that. And it just so happens we have to practice longer for the championships in a few weeks." he grumbled. He was not happy.

I laughed. "We won't let the big scary sluts get you Edward. We need to protect all of you from that." I crinkled my nose referring to them.

Edward found a space and pulled in. "I guess we'll all just meet back at the car after practice?" he asked.

"Yup, bye Eddie!" Alice sang, dragging my behind her.

"Bye Edward!" I called after me.

"Are you ever gonna get up the nerve to ask out my brother?" Alice asked, once we were out of earshot.

"Alice!" She glared at me. "Eventually!"

"That what you've been saying since freshman year when you finally admitted it! Eventually takes way too long!" she huffed.

"Well, I'm just biding my time! I want to make sure I won't get my heart broken!" I argued.

"You've been biding your 'time'for two years! If you would just trust me, Rose, Jasper, and Emmett, we can assure you you won't get your heart broken!" She said, grabbing my shoulders and shaking me a bit.

"Are you sure?" I asked in a small voice. Alice just glared at me.

"When have I ever been wrong?" I thought about it, and I couldn't think of a time when Alice had not predicted something correctly. "That's what I thought."

"But what should I do?!" I asked, running my hand through my hair.

"Try flirting with him! Bend over in tight jeans in front of him!" I felt the blush rising to my cheeks. The thought of Edward actually finding me attractive at all was simply laughable. "Just make sure they're not too tight, that could totally backfire. Or..."

"Alice! I will do something. I actually created an excuse to go see him," Another one of her brilliant ideas. "I left my book in his car, so wait here while I go get it. Okay?"

"Way to go Bella! He'll be totally squirming since it's just you. He has issues with girls if Rose or I aren't there, though he fends well with the Three Skanksquteers." she laughed.

"Oh be nice! I'll be right back." I turned to walk back towards Edward. My breath caught in my throat. Even when he's yelling at his brother, he's still beautiful. I know. And I couldn't get over how cute he looked with his glasses.

When he saw me he froze, and something Emmett must have said just made him mad. "Edward, can you unlock your car for me? I left my biology book in it." I asked, with what I hope was a flirty smile, slightly batting my eyelashes at him. Good lord, you're better than the Skanks! Sorry! I'm not good at the whole "flirting" thing!

He seemed to forget what I said and just stared at me, with his mouth open, before he said "Um, uh, y-yeah. Here."

"Thanks! Oh, by the way, I love your glasses!" I gathered all of my courage and decided to be daring. I kissed him on the cheek and ran back to Alice. Surprisingly, I didn't trip. Alice high-fived me when I got back.

"Nice with the kiss on the cheek. He was stunned into silence!"

"Whatever Alice!"

"Really! It's only a matter of time!" she squealed, in true Alice fashion. I didn't argue with her, because she was always right. I just didn't want to get my hopes up only to get crushed later.

"Come on! We need to get to Spanish!" I said, grabbing her hand and pulling her with me. I sat through class thinking about one of the most amazing guys ever, and about the way it felt when my lips had touched his cheek. Like you were the only two in the parking lot. Sappy much?

I headed to my next class thinking of ways to get the most amazing guy ever to notice me.
