My car broke down on the way to the golf course after school. I had to call my dad to get me a tow truck and a ride to work, which took about half an hour. I decided to push the thoughts and worries about my truck into the back of my head. It was too much of a hassle.

I got to the golf course late, but Carlisle wasn't mad because I told him the situation. Everyone had already gotten their assignments and were out on the course, so I changed in the locker room alone. I headed over to the caddy shack after and continued my day at work.

It was really slow today, so it seemed like forever until my shift was through.

I called my dad after work to ask for a ride but he didn't pick up. I figured he was at work, which sucks because there was still about 2 hours before he could go home.

Angela left while I was on the phone, so I decided to walk. I wasn't looking forward to carrying my clubs home, but tt was about to get dark and I didn't want to wait at the club until my dad could pick me up.

I was about a block away when I heard a car honk behind me.

Edward pulled up beside me in his silver Volvo and rolled down the windows. "Hey Bella! Do you need a ride?" he asked from in the car.

I couldn't believe that this was happening. Why was Edward talking to me a lot all of a sudden? It made me exited.

"Are you sure?" I asked. "I wouldn't want you to go out of you way for me," I said.

"Don't worry about that Bella. It's getting dark and you live far." he responded. I put my clubs in his trunk and got into the passenger seat with a sigh.

The inside of his car smelled like him. A lot. I was practically in heaven. I put on my seatbelt and he drove off towards my house.

On the way I asked him why he wasn't in biology.

"I got into a fight with James Volturi in gym," he said. I shook my head.

"You shouldn't get into fights. They're stupid. Especially with James," I said.

James Volturi is possibly the most annoying person I know. He's a man whore, and he treats girls like crap. He asked me out at the beginning of the year, and I haven't talked to him since then. He was definitely not one of my favorite people.

"Yeah, well the fucker was harassing my sister and throwing things at her and her friends, so I blew my top," he said.

"Well, you still shouldn't fight. You could get hurt," I said back. I didn't like the idea of him fighting.

"Whatever. What did I miss today?" he asked, being apparent in the fact that he didn't want to talk about that.

I explained what we did in class, and then we both fell silent. I hate to say it was an awkward silence, but I couldn't decide on what to say next.

Edward turned on the radio and searched for something to listen to. I laid back and closed my eyes, listening to the music. He found a song finally, and I reached over to turn it up when I realized that it was a good one.

"You like Depeche Mode?" he asked.

"Yeah, they're one of my favorites," I said.

"What else do you like?" he asked.

"I like all types of rock pretty much. That and alternative," I said.

"Yeah, rock and alternative are both good. Do you have any band preferences?"

We talked about our musical interests for a while. We got to my house eventually and just sat in the car for a little continuing our conversation.

We were parked in front of my house talking for the next hour and a half before I finally decided to back inside.

"Bella, wait," he said, stopping me.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Do you want to hang out this weekend with me and some other people? We're all going down to First Beach," he said.

"You want me to go with you? Why?" I asked.

"I was really having fun hanging with you here. I think that it would be cool if we could hang out more," he said.

I smiled. "That sounds like a lot of fun, Edward," I responded.

We exchanged numbers so that he could call me later with more information. I got out and grabbed my things, thanking him once again. He waited for me to go inside before driving off.

I could barely sleep that night. The entire time I lay in bed, I kept on thinking about Edward and the conversations we had today. I realized that we had a lot in common.

I got up the next morning early than I usually do. I took a shower, put on makeup, and got dressed. I headed downstairs with my clubs, and set them in the living room.

Breakfast this morning consisted of cereal and coffee. Charlie came down soon after and followed my lead. He offered me a ride to school, which I accepted. Apparently my truck was going to be in the shop until Thursday. I didn't speak car, so when my dad tried to explain to me what was wrong with it by using all of the technical terms, I just told him that all I needed to know was when to pick it up on Thursday.

The ride to school was quiet. My dad isn't exactly the talkative type, so I eventually put on my Ipod and relaxed until we got to the school.

While walking up to the front of the school, I saw Edward and all of his friends hanging out near the doors. He was with Jasper, Emmett, Alice, and Rose. When he saw me, he smiled and waved. I did the same, and continued walking up the steps.

What I didn't expect though was Edward walking over to me.

"Hey," he said.

"Hey Edward," I replied back. It was getting easier for me to talk to him, which I felt good about.

"Where's your truck? I saw your dad drop you off," he said, leaning on the rails of the steps.

"Oh, it broke down yesterday when I was on my way to work. Did I not tell you that last night?" I asked.

"No, you didn't," he chuckled. "But that would explain why you were walking, I guess," he said with another smile.

I put my clubs down because they were getting a little heavy. As I did this, Alice walked up to us.

"Hey Bella!" she said excitedly.

"Alice! How are you?" I replied.

"Oh, I'm good. I heard that your coming with us this weekend! I'm so exited!" she said, throwing herself at me to give me a hug. I laughed and looked at Edward, who looked a little embarrassed. This made me laugh even more.

"Alice! Give her some room to breathe!" Rose said, coming up behind me. She was followed by everyone else too.

"Hey guys," Edward and I said in unison.

"Bella! Are you going to be one of us now?" Emmett asked. I shrugged and looked at Edward, who was talking to Jasper and Rose.

Emmett grinned and we started to talk about work.

The bell eventually rang, and I said bye to everyone.

Everyone but Edward left.

I reached for my golf clubs, but Edward got to them sooner.

He lifted my clubs and put them on HIS back.

"Shall we?" He asked, starting to walk up the stairs.

I followed quickly, and we entered the school.

Edward walked me and my clubs to my locker. I packed them up and put them away, and I grabbed my books. Edward was still at my side.

"You can go to class, you know," I said. He laughed.

"See you in chemistry, Bella," he said.

"Bye Edward," I replied.

~!~

I got a ride from Angela to the golf course after school.

Not everyone was there yet, only Emmett and Jasper.

When everyone met up at the caddy shack, it began to rain.

There was a thunderstorm warning in effect, so it would be too dangerous to play. Everyone was told that we could go home.

I walked over to Angela to confirm that she was my ride, but I was met halfway by Edward.

"Bella, do you need a ride again?" Edward asked me.

"Well…yeah, but I was about to ask Angela," I said.

"Oh, well that's cool I guess. I wanted to know if you wanted to grab a bite to eat or anything since we don't have work," he said. He shoved his hands in his pockets and looked at me, waiting for my answer. He looked….nervous. Was he asking me out?

"Dinner?" I asked.

"Yeah, dinner. There's this really cool place in Port Angeles that I've been wanting to try out, so we might as well. Please?" He asked. I couldn't resist.

"Sure, why not," I said. Edward's returning smile was the biggest one that I had ever seen on him. He looked truly happy that I accepted.

We changed and headed back to Edward's car, after I told Angela my plans with Edward.

"Bella…he was looking at you today. A lot. I think he might like you," she said. I rolled my eyes.

"Don't get my hopes up, Ang. Edward could choose any girl he wanted. Why on earth would he choose me?"

"Bella! Be confident! That boy is CRAZY about you," she said.

Deep down I sort of believed Angela. I just didn't know. He never talked to me until 4 days ago. I'm still not used to this attention, but I knew that it was making me go crazy.

The drive was very relaxed. Edward and I talked about everything from school to television to books to music. Since summer is coming up in a few weeks, so we talked about summer plans.

There was a huge barbecue party that the club was throwing in celebration of the beginning of the summer season, the most busy season of the year. It was always a huge celebration. I went last year and it was a lot of fun.

Edward and I talked about the party and other events that are coming up. I explained that other than caddying and visiting my mother for two weeks in august that I wasn't doing anything this summer.

Edward had nothing planned other than work as well. His family always goes on mass camping trips though. He explained to me that he and his friends were going camping for a weekend once school lets out and how exited for it he is.

The restaurant wasn't that crowded, and we had plenty of time so we didn't have to rush. Edward and I got a booth in the back, and the waitress soon came to take our orders.

Throughout the entire meal, I couldn't help but stare at him. He had an incredibly interesting body language, and it all but drove me crazy. I could sware that he was looking at me too throughout the meal.

Edward paid the bill when we were done. I tried to give him some money, but he refused.

It was still fairly early when we finished.

He drove me back home after the dinner, and we conversed and laughed and joked around on the way back. I was truly having a good time, and I didn't want to have to leave.

"Can I call you sometime?" Edward asked out of the blue when we pulled up to my house.

"Uh, yeah, go ahead," I said.

Edward smiled and turned to face me. "Thanks for coming to dinner with me, Bella," he said. I smiled and gave him a hug.

"Thanks for inviting me," I said.

Edward froze up a little with the hug, as did I. I didn't know what I was thinking, just reaching over to hug him, but sure enough he eventually wrapped his arms around my back and hugged me back. I breathed in his scent and let go, exiting the car with a smile.

I got my clubs out of the trunk and walked up to the front door. Edward waited for me to go inside again, which made me laugh. He was too classy.

I think that my crush on him has escalated in the time that I've gotten to know him. I couldn't get thoughts of him out of my head, and it doesn't help that he's asking me to hang out at the beach with him and his friends and inviting me out to dinner.

I fell asleep that night thinking of him.

A/N:There's your update! I'm leaving for camp tomorrow for two weeks, which means that you might not get an update for a bout two and a half to three weeks. The plus side to this is that now I have more time to come up with ideas to help this story move along. It's not going to be long…10 chapters max, if that. I just needed a little project to concentrate on in my free time. REVIEW!!! Just because it's the nice thing to do.
