Edward's POV

The next day, as soon as Mommy let me, I ran across the street to see Bella. I still felt bad about the Lego's and I was determined to make it up for her. (A/N: I know I know I know! That is a big word for a five year old to use but what else am I s'posed to use? MY VOCABULARY IS TOO ENHANCED FOR THIS HUMAN RACE! And anyway, he's a Cullen! They talk big words!) I rang the doorbell a hundred thousand times until Renee answered. She stepped out into the rain and gave me a hug before welcoming me inside. "Where's Bella?" I asked.

"Turn around, dear." Renee replied.

I did as she said and sure enough, Bella was sitting on the sofa behind me watching cartoons. I plopped myself down beside her and gave her a hug. She smiled at me and offered me one of the blocks she was playing with. "Thank you," I said taking it. Her grin grew larger.

"Would you guys like a snack?" Renee asked.

"Uh-huh!" I said.

Renee filled two cups of apple juice for us. She brought it out with us along with some applesauce. I think she may be obsessed with apples I thought. But I wouldn't say anything out loud. That would be rude! I stayed at Bella's house all day and met Charlie, Forks Chief of Police. He was cool, we talked about baseball. At around six, Mommy came to take me home for dinner. I hugged Bella one more time and Mommy held her hand out for me. I took it and we ran across the street as fast as we could but we still got soaked!

Bella's POV

Flashback

Edward was walking me to the bus stop. It was my very first day of school and Edward was starting First Grade. Edward took my hand as we crossed the street and he helped me up the narrow school bus steps. Still holding onto my hand, he guided me through the slim aisle of the bus, past the noisy children chatting with their friends. When we sat down, I asked, "Where are the seat belts?"

"There are none." Edward answered.

"Why?"

"Because if there was an emergency, all of the kids wouldn't be able to get out of the school bus in time if there were seatbelts." I felt my eyes grow wide, so he added, "There most likely won't be an emergency of some sort but, just in case."

End of flashback

It was the third month of school and Edward was still my only friend. Everybody would scoot away from me every time I sat down next to them. Sometimes when I asked the teacher to go to the bathroom, I would sit in there and cry. Most of the time, Edward knows this and when I come out, he gives me a hug and a little kiss on my cheek, Then he walks me back to my class, slowly, holding my hand so then I can dry my tears. Once or twice, we got caught and, like always, he blamed himself (I'm not sure how, but he just does!).

Every day after school, he always meets me outside of my last class. He memorized my schedule like it was his own. We walk to the bus and he always asks me how my day went and every day I lie and say it was fine. He notices this and he takes my hand and gives it a squeeze. After we get off the bus, we either walk to Esme's or Mommy's house for a snack.

One day, I hung up my raincoat, as I usually did when I came into the school, when a girl hung her coat next to me and said, "Hi, I'm Angela. What's your name?" I stared at her. I had forgotten how to speak. It was over halfway through the school year and now someone spoke to me? The girl called Angela waved her hand in front of my face. "Hellooooooooo?"

"Oh, sorry. I'm Bella."

"It's nice to meet you, Bella." Angela went to sit down at a desk. I followed and sat down next to her. I followed Angela around all day like a little ducky and she introduced her to her friends Mike, Ben, Jessica, Tyler, Eric, and Lauren. Lauren didn't like me much. As soon as she saw me, she stuck her tongue out at me. "I have to go to the bathroom." I said, concentrating on keeping my voice steady. I stood up, and ran to the bathroom with tears streaming down my face before I got there.

As usual, Edward was waiting for me outside the bathroom. "Are you okay?" He asked, hugging me.

"I'm fine," I said pulling away and walking back to the cafeteria. Lunch was almost over as I sat down next to Angela."

"What took you so long?" Jessica fired at me.

"Toilet flooded. Before I got there, of course."

"Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!" Jessica and Lauren screeched. Other people in the cafeteria stared at us.

"I know!" I said. Then, the bell rang and it was time to go back to class. The laughing and talking of the children in the hall covered the growling of my stomach.

I figured out that Angela moved here to Forks last month and ended up being put in my classes. She told me that once she moved in, it took her a little while to make friends. Everybody she hung out with have lived in Forks their entire life. It seemed as though Angela opened their eyes and saw me and thought I needed a friend or two. Although I don't think Lauren feels the same as the others and Jessica doesn't seem too fond of me either, but she's okay. And I think Mike has a teeny little crush on me. Ew!

Once school ended, I met Edward outside my class as usual. Today was different though. I was in a better mood than I usually was. He was certainly surprised. "How was your day?" He asked as he normally did.

"Great!" I all but yelled. There was no doubting how happy I was. Or how hungry… "I met new friends today! Angela is so nice! She just moved here and now I'm so glad that she did 'cause now that means I'll have more friends!" I gasped, I had said all of that in one breath. Edward had to try to keep up with me because I was talking so fast.

"Who's Angela?" He asked.

"Angela is this girl that moved here last month. She became my friend today just like Ben, Tyler, Eric, Jessica, Mike, and Lauren! They lived here the entire time. Angela's in…" He let this go on for a few minutes and then he raised his hand to stop me. "I'm sorry. That's not what I meant. What I meant was, what is her last name?"

As we were walking, I was thinking and I realized that I didn't know what her last name was. By now, Angela was probably gone and it was Thursday and we had Friday and Monday off for Easter, so I had to wait until…

"Bella? Are you still there? You haven't answered my question. What is Angela's last name?"

"Oh, well… umm… She never really told me." It came out like a question. By now, we had reached the bus. We got on and picked our seats and headed for home. Since it was a long ride, Edward played with my fingers while I watched out the window and every now and again, watching him. I've always thought of what kind of relationship we would have when we were older. I never knew what love was, but I hear people talking about it and saying that it was a very good thing. I've seen it in movies and started to understand it. I've even heard Mommy and Daddy say that they love each other sometimes and they always say that they love me, too. I've always wondered if that's the way Edward felt about me. I decided to take a chance and ask. "Hey, Edward? Can I ask you a question?"

He looked up at me. "Sure."

"Do you… love me?"

He looked at me strange. Oh, no, no, no, no! He's going to tell me he doesn't love me. What am I going to do now? I thought frantically. Then he said, "Of course I love you. How could I not? And how do you know about that kind of stuff?" (A/n: And why does my mother keep farting? THAT'S SO GROSS! –Supervolvo)

"I just hear Mommy and Daddy talking about it a lot. They even tell me they love me and I started to understand it a little bit. I just wanted to know if you loved me, too. Because I think I love you… Even though I only know a little bit."

"You know, for someone your age, you sure do talk a lot! But yes I love you, too."

As he said that, he leaned in and kissed my cheek and gave me a great big hug (A/N: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! YOUNG LOVE IS SO CUTE!) The next thing we know, the bus dropped us off. Edward took my hand and we started walking home. We walked to Mommy's house for snacks after school. At around five or six, Edward went home and I went to bed.
