I was just getting out of the shower when Charlie started banging on the door. "Bells, your friend is here to drive you to school. Be careful."

I poked my head out the door confused, "Who is it Dad?" Too late the front door slammed. Ugh, please don't let it be Mike, please don't let it be Mike.

"It's me." Edward's velvety voice answered from the bottom of the stairs.

I blushed, of course I poke my head of the bathroom door only covered in a towel and Edward is the one who sees. "I'll be down in a second. There's pop tarts in the pantry if you're hungry."

I scrambled around my room to find clothes and decided to spend five extra minutes on my hair. It was still wavy I just made it look like the waves were intentional. I threw everything into my book bag and dashed down the stairs to see my Edward. I was momentarily shocked by my new possessive streak.

Unsurprisingly my foot caught on the bottom step and I tumbled forward. Smooth Bella, real smooth. Two cool hands caught my waist right before my face made contact with the tile. "You should be more careful Bella." He teased, setting me upright and handing me my bag.

"How do you do that?" I blurted.

"Do what?" He asked confused.

I sighed, this was going to come up eventually. "That thing were you move super fast."

His, gorgeous, body tensed and his eyes become hard. "I don't know what you're talking about."

I couldn't fight the urge to roll my eyes, "Fine you don't have to tell me, but as best friends we aren't suppose to have secretes." I said before marching out the front door.

I heard him chuckle and fall into step beside me. "In less than twenty-four hours I've become your best friend."I knew he was teasing but I could pick out a slight giddy tone to his voice.

I smiled, "Pretty much."

He gave me a lopsided grin that made my heart stutter. "Works for me." He opened my door for me and waited until I was seated to close it. He moved with stunning grace and odd quickness around the corner.

"How was your evening?" He asked after changing CD's. "Emmett has weird taste in music." He explained.

"It was okay, Charlie was surprised when I didn't ask for help with my math homework so I told him about our tutoring session. He called you a miracle worker." I said leaving everything else out.

"You're not telling me something. What happened to 'best friends don't have secrets'." He imitated my voice perfectly.

"One that was a scary good impression and it kind of freaked me out. Second, you obviously aren't telling me something, which is okay, because I would rather be friends and in the dark than nothing at all and third, how do you know so much?" I asked.

He bit his lip trying to stifle laughter, "The impression is just something I do to annoy Alice. As for secrets, I'm afraid some things might scare you and I'm your best friend Bella, best friends know everything about each other. Now are you going to tell me what ever happened last night?"

I frowned, 'something's might scare you' "What could possible scare me? Have you ever hurt someone who didn't deserve it? Have you ever intentionally done something mean? I don't know what you've done to think so little of yourself but that needs to stop right now."

He grimaced, "You're different Bella." We pulled into the school parking lot but he stayed seated. "As for the secrets I will try to be more honest, but trust me you'll run screaming. Now please tell me what happened."

I sighed he was just as stubborn as me. "I got into another argument with my mother. I called to see is she was still mad and she was and ended up saying things I know she didn't mean but still hurt anyways."

He touched my arm lightly; the chill of his hand not having any negative effects. "I'm sorry. What did she say?"

I blushed bright red. How could tell him that in explaining to my mother I had a huge crush on my new best friend she had called me childish and said I was stupid for throwing my life away at such a young age. "She just through a fit over something that shouldn't even bother her. She's being childish Renée as always."

He frowned, "I'm sorry you and your mother are arguing. I have something to show you." He said with that giddy tone.

"I really hate surprises." I muttered. He just smiled, "I talked to Carlisle about looking for old photos or maybe trying to find some of my parents old possessions and Alice heard me. I don't know if you know or not but Alice is good at sketching so when she saw the one old photo I have she made a few sketches for me." He said almost shyly.

I smiled widely, "Do you have them with you?" I asked excitedly. I'd seem a few of Alice's drawings in the art hall and she really was amazing.

He grinned and reached into his school bag. There were three drawings, the first of a beautiful woman in a long dress standing next to man in a suit with a pre teen Edward standing between them. He looked almost the same, save the roundness to his face was gone and his hair was a mess. A hot mess.

"This is amazing." I said trying to get my mind out of the gutter.

He smiled, "Look at the others."

The next one was of the same woman only this time she was playing catch with the preteen Edward. She had her skirt bundled up and both of them were laughing. I was amazed at how much detail Alice had put into these. The last one was actually of Alice, Edward and myself. Edward and I were laughing while Alice scowled at the both of us. I noticed my close proximity to Edward in the drawing and blushed.

Before I could comment on them there was light tapping at my window. Alice was smirking on the other side of the glass obviously happy to have caught me and Edward off guard. I blushed and handed the drawings back to Edward. "I'm glad you're asking about your biological family. Remember what I said about talking to me."

He nodded and Alice pried my door open. "Hurry up Bella, people are starting to wonder what you two are doing in there." She teased.

I turned bright red, "Alice." I practically hissed.

She just laughed. The sound was almost as nice as Edward's laugh. "I'm just stating the facts. Oh, Jazz and I got you breakfast. Figures my bone headed brother would forget to feed and water you." She handed me a small coffee and a brown paper bag with a massive muffin inside of it.

Before I could say thanks she was dashing off with Jasper. "You're sister really does know everything." I commented. Edward chuckled and brushed snow off of a bench for us.

"She has a habit of interfering with everything." He said with a slight edge. Usually he talked about Alice with a fondness usually he laughed when he mentioned her but now he hard that hard look in his eye.

"I'm pretty sure all sisters do that. Do you want some of this?" I asked

He made a face, "No thank you."

I nodded of course he didn't I'd never see him eat or drink anything before. "I suppose the not eating or drinking is part of your secret." I said casually. He stopped moving, becoming statue like still. "And the sculpture-like stillness too."

He groaned, "Bella…" he almost whined, "It's a secret, people aren't suppose to know secrets."

I tried to suppress a grin, of course I was curious as to what ever he felt was so horrible that he couldn't tell anyone, but seeing him react like this was…cute.

"You're cute when you pout." I blurted instantly turning seven shades of red.

He seemed momentarily shocked then gave me that crooked grin. "You're cute too." If possible my blush got brighter causing him to grin, "Especially when you blush."

Before I could think of a retort, not that my brain was functioning properly, the bell rang. He smiled at my obvious loss of words. "I'll see you at lunch Love."
