Chapter 1: Beyond My Expectations.
Edward has been my best friend since birth. At first, our relationship was filled with child innocence. But as time went, I started developing other feelings. Feelings for him. Dare I say it; I have a huge crush on him. For the lack of better words, I'm in love with my best friend, Edward Cullen.
"Bella! You're not even listening to me!" Edward whined, bringing me out of my reverie.
"Oh, uh what did you say?" I asked sheepishly.
He sighed. " I said, do you think if I asked Jessica out to the dance she would say yes?"
I gulped. I didn't expect that. I could literally feel my heart sink, faster than a canoe in a storm. I couldn't speak. I was at loss for my own words. Is it too late to get him to love me back? I silently questioned myself. I nodded my head frantically, probably making me look like I had a seizure.
"Sure," I answered meekly. "You're a great guy. Just hope she is the right one."
"Why wouldn't she be?" he asked, staring at me incredulously. "She's hot, gorgeous, and popular."
"Looks aren't everything, and so is popularity." I told him sternly.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. You are such an overprotective friend, did you know that?" he smirked. I whacked him playfully in the arm.
"Ha-ha! Very funny, at least I'm smart enough NOT to get heart-broken." Although I didn't want to tell him that I already was. Because of him. How do I live my life pretending to be happy for him, when I'm dying inside? How do I go on everyday without crying in front of him? Damn, I thought, I REALLY deserve an Oscar for this. I hated this. I hated knowing it was someone else who had caught his eye, and not me.
