I'm really sorry I haven't updated in forever, I can be pretty bad with staying focused on one thing. Also, in the 3rd chapter, Edward said he plays drums, but I changed it to piano.

Bella's POV

Alice, Edward, and I had science first, and we all sat at a table in the back of the classroom. Alice was next to me and Edward was across. I had hoped he wouldn't sit across from me so I could at least have a chance of focusing on class, but I figured what the teacher said on the first day didn't really matter anyway.

Our teacher came in the class and immediately started telling us about all the wonderfully boring things we'd be learning this year. It wasn't 10 minutes before the whole class was talking over him.

Alice turned to me. "So, do you have a boyfriend?" I was so caught off guard I couldn't think for a minute. I looked at Edward, who was glaring at Alice, and turned back to her. Even more startling than her question was the smile on her face, like she already knew the answer.

"Um, what? No, I don't." Alice's smile widened and Edward's expression went blank. Then he turned to me.

"…You don't?

Edward's POV

"So, do you have a boyfriend?" I turned to Alice. What was she trying to do, torture me? Of course Bella would have a boyfriend.

"Um, what? No, I don't." I forgot about Alice. What? She doesn't have a boyfriend? I had just assumed that someone as beautiful and creative as Bella would have a boyfriend. I looked at her again. I would think her eyes alone would be enough to bring 20 guys chasing after her.

"…You don't?" Wait, why would Alice even ask Bella that? I listened to her thoughts, to find out where she was planning on going with this.

This is great, they are so perfect for each other! …They who? Bella? They, Bella…and me?! No, I don't think Bella would ever go for me. But Alice better not try to set us up, that would be so embarrassing.

"You know, Edward doesn't have a—" I kicked Alice in the leg, even though I knew it wouldn't hurt. just smiled and sighed. "Fine." It'll all work out anyway. Then she pretended to return her focus to the teacher.

Class ended and we had two more before lunch. Of course, Alice invited Bella to sit and "eat" with us, not that I minded. The problem was, it wasn't ten seconds after we all sat down that Emmett and Rosalie started making out. Even Alice and Jasper were in their own world. Bella and I were left to sit awkwardly on our own. I looked down at the food I'd gotten from the lunch line and pretended to be mildly interested in it.

A girl walked over to our table and stopped next to me. I had read her mind, and didn't want her to do what I knew she was going to do, so I pretended not to see her. She stood there for about a minute, and everyone else at the table was looking at her.

She finally cleared her throat. I reluctantly turned around. "Hi! I'm Jessica! Are you new in town?" I opened my mouth to respond, but she cut me off. "Well, I've lived here all my life. If you want I could show you around town…this weekend?"

I stole a quick look at Bella. She had turned away, probably trying to look like she wasn't paying attention, but I knew she was, because I knew the rest of the table was listening.

I closed my eyes and tried to think of a way to let Jessica down easily. "This weekend I'm, uh, really busy. I have to help my parents with this thing, and Alice wanted me to do this favor for her, and I've got something with…um…Bella."

Jessica's flirtatious smile became a polite fake one. "Oh." Then she turned to look at Bella, and dropped the smile altogether. "Oh." She walked away and Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, and Jasper all went back to what they had been doing.

Bella's POV

Wow, I can't believe this girl! She just walked right up to Edward and asked him out! It's totally out of the blue; she doesn't even know him! Though, at least she has enough courage to ask him out.

I didn't want to seem rude, so I turned away and tried not to listen. But I couldn't help it. My heart started pounding and I knew I wanted him to tell her no.

"This weekend I'm, uh, really busy. I have to help my parents with this thing, and Alice wanted me to do this favor for her, and I've got something with…um…Bella." I smiled to myself.

Then I noticed that Jessica was glaring at me so I tried to hide my grin, apparently not well enough. "Oh." She walked away quickly and sat back down with her friends. They whispered a lot, and some of them looked over at me.

I turned to Edward, who was staring at me, and felt nervous. Then he crookedly smiled and I felt more relaxed. "What?"

"What?"

I shook my head and laughed. "Why are you smiling?"

"Well, I guess I'm just thinking about how I don't really have anything going on this weekend, and it might be fun if the six of us do something." It sounded like way more fun than how I normally spend the weekend, reading in my room or watching football with Charlie.

"That sounds great! I'll just have to check with my dad."

I closed my eyes and idea for the beginning of a song came into my head.

You're the sky that I fell through

And I remember the view

Whenever I'm holding you

(A/N "If My Heart Was a House" by Owl City)

Then I thought about what it would be like if Edward held me. My eyes shot open. Why am I even thinking about that? I barely know him! I turned my attention back to Edward, who seemed to be patiently waiting for me to gather my thoughts.

Then I remembered that I was going over to his house later. I couldn't wait for school to be over.
