By the end of the day all I could think about, well all I could worry about, was how I could possibly get Edward to even notice me. I was about to get in my car when I saw Alice trying to get my attention from the other side of the parking lot. I sighed and trudged over to her car. She was grinning smugly which immediately put me on high alert.

"Hey" I greeted her as calmly as I could.

"So you better not have plans for tonight" I could see she was trying to hide a giggle. "And if you do cancel them."

I looked at her confused "Of course I have plans, they're going shopping with you and Rose" I really didn't like where this was heading there had to be something even more torturous planned for me for Alice to actually cancel a shopping trip.

Her smug smile grew even larger and she shook her head. "Not anymore now me and you are going to dinner and the movies with Edward and Jasper tonight." She looked at me expectantly and for a second I just stood there. I could see her smile fading and like always I began to feel the guilt. I knew how this date would turn out especially with Alice along with me. She was so graceful and compared to her I would look double my already clumsy self. "I mean Rosalie already was winning by flirting with Emmett the whole time at lunch. It's only fair that me and you at least catch up."

That seemed fair to me but I couldn't help the nervousness I already felt in the pit of my stomach. However there was no way I would ruin this for her so I hugged her tightly and smiled. "Aw thanks Alice I bet Rose will be so mad when she finds out." At least I had that to look forward to. Rosalie always looked like a spoiled head cheerleader when she got really angry.

"So be ready at 6:00 the date is at seven but I'm coming over early to make sure you wear something perfect." Oh great so not only did she plan my date now she was checking my outfits.

"Ok" I sighed not even bothering to sound happy anymore.

When I got home I looked at the clock and saw I still had a few hours before I had to get ready for my date with Edward. Great. I had all this time to worry about not looking like a complete fool in front of Edward. Also what if he showed no interest in me. Boys barely ever noticed me and I saw no reason to think Edward would be any different. Especially boys like him. He was absolutely beautiful there wasn't a girl in school that wouldn't love to go out with him. Why would he choose me, average, normal me? By the time I was done worrying I had to get ready for my date. I knew my father, Charlie would be home before I left for my date but I hoped that I wouldn't have to tell him I was going out with a boy. That would really minimize all the questions I would get when I got home. He was the chief of police so he would ask more questions than most fathers would. I quickly took a shower and brushed my hair. I decided to just wait for Alice to come before deciding what to wear. There was no way she would approve of what I wanted to wear anyway.

At 5:55 the doorbell rang twice really quickly. She was obviously very excited for either the date or helping me pick out my clothes. I had a funny feeling it was helping me. Clothes and shopping were what Alice lived for. "Hey," I greeted her cheerfully when I opened up the door and saw the beautiful outfit she had on. Of course Alice didn't even have to try and she looked beautiful.

"Hey," she answered and drew me into a quick hug. She grabbed my hand and ran up the stairs to my bedroom. Immediately she opened my closet and began rummaging through all my clothes. "This would look great on you" she was saying coming out with a skirt I never wore that my mother bought me for Christmas a couple years ago and a pretty sweater. Without argument I took the clothes and went into the bathroom and threw the clothes on. I looked in the mirror and fixed my hair a little bit then eventually walked back to my room. "Perfect," she complimented me and we left my room. Charlie wasn't home and that confused me. Just then my phone rang and I ran to get it. Maybe it was Edward calling to say he was sick and wouldn't be able to go on our date. Of course he didn't have my number so that wasn't a big possibility.

"Hello" I answered.

"Hey Bells how are you? Sorry I'm not home yet it looks like I might have to stay late tonight."

"That's ok I'm going out with Alice anyway." She rolled her eyes at me for not even mentioning that I would also be with my date, Edward Cullen, possibly the most beautiful person alive.

"Oh well have fun sweetie, I'll see you tonight"

"Ok, bye" I said and hung up.

Before Alice could even criticize me for almost lying to Charlie the doorbell rang. My eyes got huge and then and took a deep breath. Alice rolled her eyes at me again and walked over to the door.

"Relax," she instructed me and smiling, opened the door.
