Edward's POV

Iz,
Exactly! I'm so glad that you understand what I'm saying. Sure everyone loves music, but they just don't have the same type of love for it that I do. Can you believe that Armstrong is going to start giving us topics to write about, how freaking lame is that? Anyway, let's play the favorites games. I'll tell you a lot of my favorite things and then when you write back you tell me your favorites. Sound good? I hope so, cause you don't really have a choice. Let's see. Favorite movie is The Fifth Element, if you haven't seen it then you have not lived. Blue is my favorite color. Blink-182 is the greatest band ever, but my favorite song is actually Head on Collision by New Found Glory. As you know, Mac n Cheese is my favorite food, but my favorite fast food place is Taco Bell. My favorite tv show is The Office. That's all I have time for. I look forward to reading your favorites tomorrow.
Anthony

PS, you better play, or I might have to beat you up.

I wrote Iz's name across the front of the envelope the way I do every day and handed it to Armstrong on my way out of the class. Emmett and I walked through the halls talking about his weird pen pal.

"I mean seriously, at first I thought she was just kidding about all the stuff she does, but she's not. She really does read to old people." He exclaimed.

I laughed at his hysterical had movements. "Sounds like she's a good person."

"It sounds like she's lame."

"That too."

We stopped at our lockers to exchange our books and to wait for Jasper and Alice to show up so the four of us could walk to P.E. together. I closed my locker after tossing my notebook in it and leaned against them as I waited. My eyes immediately spotted Bella and I felt a smile creep on my lips.

"Why don't you go talk to her instead of being a creep and just staring?"

I shook my head as I tore my eyes away from her and scoffed. "What are you talking about?"

Emmett rolled his eyes. "Don't even start with me bro; you were totally staring at Bella."

"Bella who?" I said with a smirk

"I'm gonna punch you."

"What are you guys talking about?" Jasper asked as him and Alice approached.

"Edward is still trying to deny that he stares at Bella." Emmett said with an eye roll.

Jasper scoffed. "Whatever dude, you're like obsessed with her."

"I am not."

"Bella Swan? asked with a smile playing on her lips.

"Yeah, her." Emmett answered for me.

"You should go talk to her, she's really nice." Alice urged.

I rolled my eyes. "Let's go to P.E."

"Not until you go over there and talk to her."

"Jasper, control your woman."

"Actually, I'm gonna side with her on this one." He said and smirked.

"Whipped." I muttered.

Alice slapped my arm and pushed me off the locker and over in Bella's direction. I took a deep breath as I approached her and her group of friends. Bella's back was to me and just as I was about to tap her on the shoulder, Angela Weber locked eyes with me. She grabbed Bella's arm, and sent a glare my way.

"Come on Bella, let's get out of here." She said and began pulling her down the hallway.

I sighed and turned back to my friends. They all gave me sympathetic smiles and Jasper patted my shoulder. "Don't sweat dude, there's still four more passing periods, plus after school."

"Yeah, whatever."

Bella's POV

It didn't take long for me to become interested in Edward Cullen. Actually, all it took was us slamming into each other just a few days ago. Ever since then, I'm tried to bump into him again. I would walk past his locker on my way to class, hoping that he would stop me to talk but he never did. The most I've gotten from him since that day is a smile and head nods, no actually words.

"So, girls night on Friday?" Angela asked me and Rosalie as we closed our lockers.

"I'm in." Rose said with a shrug.

"Bella, how about you?"

"I can't. I have a tennis tournament on Saturday." I said and frowned.

"Aw, well maybe next time." She said.

"Let's get to class, I don't want to be late again." Rose said as she shot me a playful glare.

I rolled my eyes, exasperated. "How many times do I have to say sorry?" I whined.

She just laughed. "Just kidding, Bella."

"Let's just get to class." Angela said and started walking down the hall.

I stood still, still at my locker and looked the opposite way Angela was walking. Sure the way she was going was shorter, but if I went the other way I would walk by Edward's locker and maybe we would be able to talk briefly.

"Bella, are you coming?" Angela asked impatiently.

"I think I'm gonna go this way." I said and hook my thumb over my shoulder.

"Why, this way's faster."

"Uh, well I need to burn off the nachos I had for lunch." I lied.

She rolled her eyes and she and Rosalie turned around to walk with me. I smiled, feeling accomplished that I had gotten my way and began walking with them. We were talking about possibly moving the girls' night to Saturday so that I could go as we walked and I saw Edward at his locker. I walked by without glancing over at him, and a few steps later I bumped into Rose and dropped my notebook but kept walking, in hopes that Edward would pick it up.

"Bella!"

I smiled inwardly as I stopped walking and turned around. I saw Edward walking up slowly with my notebook in his hand. Angela scoffed and rolled her eyes.

"Why is it that you always seem to be picking up my stuff?" I asked as I took my notebook back.

He shrugged with a smile on his lips. "I don't know, why do you always seem to drop your stuff when you're around me?"

I laughed as I felt a blush creep onto my cheeks.

"Come on Bella, we're going to be late." Angela said with a glare.

I rolled my eyes. "I'll see you later, Edward. Thanks for picking up my notebook."

He smiled warmly. "Anytime."

I ignored all of Angela's hateful comments as we continued to walk to class. Rosalie and I entered Armstrong's class right as the bell rang. I heard Rosalie exhale out of relief as we picked our letters up and went to our seats.

"What does Mr. Anthony have to say today?" Rosey asked with a smirk.

I smiled. "We'll see." I replied as I opened the envelope.

Anthony,
You know, at first I thought about not playing your game just because it would be funny. But after heavily debating it, I decided that it was only fair to tell you what you've told me. My favorite movie is Mean Girls because it's hilarious. Green is far better than blue, which is why it's my favorite. I have a tie between Green Day and Yellowcard for my favorite band, both are absolutely amazing. I find it impossible to say that one is better than the other. My favorite song though, happens to be Time After Time. But only the Quietdrive cover, the original isn't so great, in my opinion. My favorite fast food place is Taco Bell too, I always get a Chruchwrap Supreme, minus tomatoes because those are gross. And my favorite tv show is How I Met Your Mother, I watch it every Monday night. Well, that was fun.

PS, I'm not scared of you.
