Thank you everyone who's reviewed. And someone said that this story is just like "Pink Fluffy Pencil Case". Just so you know, I didn't know Crystal Brooke's story was like mine- well it sort of is. But check out her story- it's awesome. And I'll make our stories as different as possible!

Edward POV:
Having a hot partner in class seemed like some wet fantasy I'd had at 13, but it was notably less charming in reality. I'd asked her if she wanted to work on this project at my place, and she was silent after a moment before mumbling out an answer.
"Excuse me?" I asked, like a gentleman. She wrinkled her nose and said, "We can go to your house." I nodded. I tried to make small talk while Miss Bay was helping a student outside of the classroom.
"So... I like your jacket?" Damn. I was hoping that would come out smooth. But me, being the idiotic coward I am, made it come out like a question.
"You don't sound sure." she said, but I thought I saw her smile. Covering up my mistake, I said, "I do. I mean, I like it. It's nice."
Bella stared at me for a bit, then sighed.
"You're not going to shut up until I talk to you are you?" Feeling slightly offended, I nodded.
"Okay then. Well, thank you." She said, closing her notebook. I noticed how her notebook had pictures of My Chemical Romance on them. I faintly recalled Emmett blasting their CD a while back, and was relieved to have found some common ground.
"I like you-" I mentally killed myself. I meant to say 'I like them' but "you" came out instead. I slapped my forehead and then, to stick my foot in my mouth more, said, "Dammit! This isn't working!"
Bella was staring at me, her eyebrow quirked with an emotion I couldn't quite pinpoint. The bell rang then and I hurried out of the classroom, but I quickly turned back to give her my number and address.
She took it and watched me leave, no doubt wondering if I held any ounce of competence in my body.
BELLA POV
Well. That was... interesting.
When he said "I like your jacket?" I had smiled. I couldn't help it.
But WHY was he flustered? It was just me.
I didn't have time to ponder as I walked outside. I had to meet Edward tomorrow- go to his house. Waste my Saturday on a guy. Now this would be fun. As I pulled out of the school parking lot, I couldn't help but see Edward and a bunch of other kids- they were new too?- walk to his car. Well, their cars.
Then he did something that made me near pass out.
He noticed me (sadly -but part of me was jumping.) and he gave his back pack to his sister. She's tiny, I noticed.
Edward waved to me, then winked a dramatic wink that could be seen halfway across the parking lot. Everyone turned to look at me and I ducked, flooring my truck and burning rubber as I drove to my house.
My face was the color of a tomato for the next few hours, flushing whenever I thought about the wink. Charlie was home, flipping through channels as I cut vegetables for dinner. He regarded me, then turned and said, "Why are you blushing?"
Shit.
"It's just cold outside." I lied. Well, sort of. It was cold outside, in that sweltering humid way, but Charlie snorted and went upstairs to take a nap.
I decided to make scones In the process of making them, I debated what I was going to wear tomorrow. Not that I cared- Edward wouldn't get the chance to see me in nice clothes. Then I closed my eyes.
Who was I kidding? This kid sent tingles from my head to my toes, and it was only the first day. I had no idea how I was going to handle being in a contained room alone with him without major word vomit taking place.
I was utterly screwed. Charlie and I ate in silence, and I didn't finish since I had homework. I walked to my room- soon I was deep in my literature book. Suddenly, my phone started to ring. I picked it up and a familiar voice said, "Hello? Is this Bella?"
"Edward?" I asked, ignoring the butterflies in my stomach.
"Oh hi Bella." Edward said, right before a perky voice added, "I am Alice!"
I was confused. "Edward, how'd you get my number?"
He ignored my question. "I just wanted to," he paused, taking a deep breath, "Know if you had anything planned tomorrow night?"
I was dumbstruck.
"Or not- that's fine! If you're busy, I can-" I cut him off saying, "No- no I'm not busy. Why?"
"Do you want to go to the movies with me?"
"I-uh... sure. I guess. I mean, we're partners tomorrow, so..." I can't believe I am going to the movies with a guy I just me recently today, and wears khaki. Hell has frozen over.
"I'll pick you up at 8'. Or we can just go there straight from my house tomorrow. We can see Batman if you'd like or something." I nodded then realized he couldn't see me through the phone.
"Sure. See yah." I said, hanging up. What had I gotten myself into?
Next chapter will be the funnest- I get to put the rest of the cullens in!
REVIEW PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
