*AN!: Sorry if you got all excited and got an alert, I just made a minor change. I had to fix it, or else it would have bugged me to no end. I had said she was Chief Swan's daughter and meant for it to say Major Swan's daughter. Thanks for pointing that out for me in your review!

I was throwing around the football with my brothers, Jasper and Emmett, when Emmett, being the brute that he is, threw it long and the ball went over my head. I turned to see that it was about to hit a girl. She caught it right before it could touch her face. I ran and asked her if she was okay and when she removed the ball from her face, I was met with a pair of lovely brown eyes. She said that she was fine and I motioned for her to throw the ball back to me. She repositioned the ball in her small hands and launched it in the air, creating a perfect spiral in the direction of Emmett, who caught it with a thud.

"Whoa! Great arm!" He exclaimed.

I turned back to look at the girl, but she ran off before I could say anything. My brothers and I stood there for a long moment before we made our way to the school.

"Who was that chick?" asked Emmett.

"I don't know, maybe she's new." Jasper pondered. We started back towards the school as well.

Hmmm. She's quite an intriguing person. A girl with that beauty couldn't possibly be interested in football.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a couple of guys betting on who would get with the new girl first.

"Bella is so hot!" Tyler Crowley stated.

"She's mine, man." Eric Yorkie said.

So the mystery girl's name is Bella. A beautiful name for a beautiful girl.

Throughout the morning, I leaned in to catch any conversation having to do with Bella. I wanted to find out more about her. She had moved from Phoenix and was Major Swan's daughter. Her favorite colors were blue and green. My eyes are green. Lunch came and I went to sit with my brothers and sisters at our usual table.

"What's up with you?" Alice asked.

I shook my head. "It's nothing."

"He's probably thinking about the new girl." Emmett informed the girls.

"She's pretty." Rosalie said as she nodded in the direction of a table that was near the window. That was odd, Rosalie was usually so vain. She wasn't wrong, but it wasn't like her to acknowledge someone else's beauty.

I turned to see Bella nodding mutely and half paying attention to whatever the heck Mike was spouting out. I observed her carefully. She was making friends fast, I hoped that she and I could become friends. She seemed to be roaming the crowd, people watching. I turned before she got to me, so I wouldn't get caught staring at her.

"She's looking at us!" Alice said with a bouncing in her seat.

"Calm down." Jasper held her still.

The bell rang and I trudged to my next class, Biology. I got there early and took my seat. I sat alone and in the back. It was boring listening to Mr. Banner, but my mood changed when I saw that Bella was coming towards me. The seat next to me was the only one open. I smiled internally when she brushed off Mike and sat down next to me.

We made small talk. She was very nice and down to earth. I learned how she got into football and was graced by her breathtaking smile and voice. How I longed to touch her.

I smiled my crooked smile at the thought of impressing her on the field.

After school, I put my football gear on and ran towards the field for tryouts. I saw some familiar faces and some new ones as well. I joined Jasper and Emmett for some stretches. We stopped when everyone's heads popped up as they saw Bella Swan walk onto the field. She was in full football gear. She spoke to the coach and I couldn't take my eyes off her. Was she really planning on trying out?

"But Coach! She's a girl! Girls can't play football!" Some newbie pointed out. I glared at him. Girls could do anything guys can. Especially Bella.

I gauged her reaction, waiting for her to either walk away or cry. But I wasn't prepared for what she actually did.

"Well, if that's how you feel. How about this? I mess up once, and you can kick me off the field. I make the team, and you shut the hell up." Hmmm feisty, I didn't think she would stand up for herself like that. She looked at the kid pointedly.

A couple of guys snickered and some oohed. I glanced at my brothers and then back at her, we all knew how today would end. That guy was going to get his.

Try outs were rougher than usual. Coach wanted to weed out the weak. I watched in awe as Bella excelled in every test she did. She wasn't just good for a girl, she was actually better than most of the guys! I could barely concentrate on my own exercises, but I wanted to impress Bella, so I gave my all. We did drills, sprints, ball work, and teamwork activities.

I was finishing up my daily 100 passes when I turned to see a mound of bodies and Bella off to the side laughing really hard. She had escaped a dogpile and the look on all the guys' faces was priceless. Emmett came up to her and gave her a slap on the shoulder. She didn't even wince.

He said something and she shrugged. He looked at her in awe and then picked her up in a bone crushing hug.

"You're my idol!" He yelled. She laughed and pushed away, letting him know to release her. I came over a few seconds later and asked her to take a water break with me.

"So, what position are you gunning for?" I asked as I ruffled my hair.

"I don't know. Whatever coach wants. I just want to play." She replied. She was humble.

"From what I've seen, you're a decent punter, a good quarterback, and fast enough to be a hell of a wide receiver."

She smiled and took a sip of water. "Thanks, Edward. It means a lot coming from you. I promise I won't rub it in too hard if I take your spot."

I laughed and shook my head. "I don't think I would mind it too much." I murmured.

"Bring it in, gentleman!" Coach called. "And lady." He added with a smirk.

Bella and I kneeled in front of the coach as he named off the players that made the cut. She was the last to be called and as she made her way to get her jersey, she glared at the boy who had spoken up earlier about girls not being able to play football. He squirmed and looked down. For a small girl, she sure was intimidating. She high-fived her way down the line and when she reached me, I grabbed her hand and gave it a squeeze.

"Congratulations." I said.

"Thanks, Captain." I liked the sound of that.

"How about we celebrate?" asked Jasper. I'd have to thank Jazz later for this.

"What'd you have in mind?" Bella asked.

"How about dinner at our house? Esme is the best cook ever!" Emmett chimed.

"What do you say Bella?" I looked at her silently hoping she would say yes.

"Sure!" My heart soared.

"Alright, hit the showers!" Yelled Coach Clapp.

"I'll meet you guys in the parking lot." Bella called as she ran gracefully off the field and into the girls' locker rooms.

I took a shower and got dressed, then waited for Bella by my Volvo. I was a nervous wreck. My hands were sweaty so I wiped them on my slacks. She came out and met my gaze. She was amazing and I couldn't believe she was coming home with me...err to my house for some team bonding.
