The bell rang and I snapped out of my trance of staring at Edward. I gathered up my books grinned at Edward and we walked out of the room.
"See you later," Edward said, walking towards his locker.
"Kay. Bye." I called and walked in the opposite direction towards my locker. I quickly put away my books and glanced at my schedule to see what I had next. Gym. Ew. I was good at gym but I had always hated it. I walked to the locker room and changed into the uniform and went into the gym. The gym class was co-ed so the girls were on one half of the gym and the guys on the other half. I looked around the room and saw Alice on the opposite end of the court she saw me, grinned, and skipped quickly to my side.
"Hi Bella! I hope you're ready to go shopping today!" She said happily.
"What? Why do I need to go shopping?" I asked, a tinsy bit annoyed. I hated shopping.
"Just because. You need some new clothes for school…." Her face went blank.
"Rose is brilliant!" She cried.
"Huh?" I asked. I had realized she had had a vision but what about I had no idea.
"We're going clubbing!" She cried.
"What?! Really? Why? When?"
"To celebrate. On Friday."
"Celebrate what?" I asked.
"You!" She yelled happily.
"And its another reason to shop!" She added.
"Great." I muttered when Coach Slipker blew his whistle.
Gym went by pretty quickly. We played volleyball which I was pretty good at.
Alice and I were walking to our cars when a boy with a cute babyish face and too much gel in his hair jumped in front of me.
"Hey. Bella, I'm Mike." He said.
"Oh uhm, hi Mike." I answered.
"I was uh wonde-" He started.
My phone started playing Jason Mraz's I'm Yours. "Sorry," I said and looked at the caller ID. 'Alice', it said. I looked at Alice. Her phone was behind her back and it was open and calling me. I answered my phone and started nodding and 'uh- huh'ing.
"Sorry. There was an emergency. I have to go."
"But, I, wait-"
"Sorry see you." I called as Alice and I speed walked away.
We rushed to my car and jumped in. Once the door closed we burst out laughing.
"What was he going to ask?" I blurted between laughs.
"If you would go out with him on Friday!" She giggled.
"Oh well now I feel bad…… I didn't even give him a chance to ask…."
"It's okay he'll ask you tomorrow." Alice said.
"Oh well, great….!" I said cheerily.
"You'll say no though."
"I know!" I giggled.
"Now…. Off to the mall!!" She cried.
"Ugh! No!!" I groaned.
"Yay! Shopping time!" Alice cried. Her face went blank and her eyes turned dull.
"Alice? Alice are you okay?!" I asked shaking her softly. She broke out of the trance and looked at me and grinned.
"Jasper's coming! Yay!" Alice said.
"What was wrong with you? Your face went blank and your eyes glazed over."
"Oh sorry Bella, I was having a vision." She explained.
"Oh. Okay. That's good to know then."
"Yep…" her face went blank again.
"Edward's coming too." She said and grinned evilly at me.
"oh, well, cool." I said, my stomach doing back handsprings.
I looked out the window and there were Jasper and Edward, walking towards us. They stopped outside Alice's window and grinned at us. Alice waved and unlocked the doors, letting them get in.
"I can't believe you guys are just sitting there when Alice is about to torture me. Gosh." I said jokingly as I pulled out of the parking spot.
"Sorry Bella, but it will be hilarious, so naturally we must tag along." Jasper answered.
"Great." I muttered and sped down the highway.
We were at the mall in Port Angeles within 45 minutes. Once the car was in park Alice immediately raced around to my side of the car and dragged me out. I heard Jasper chuckle and I turned my head and glared at him. Edward was grinning a dazzling crooked grin at me. I blinked and turned back around shaking my head. How did he do that?

I loved Bella when she was mad. She just looked so cute and downright hilarious. I didn't know what it was about her, I just felt I needed to protect her at all costs. Whatever it takes, I will protect her. No matter what.

We walked into the mall quickly and Alice immediately pulled me towards Aeropostale.
"Alice, do we have to?" I whined.
"Yes. We do. And Edward and Jasper need more clothes, so all the more reason." She said sternly.
"What?!" Edward said at the same time Jasper said, "Alice!"
"Sorry boys. Its necessary."
"Not so hilarious anymore huh?" I said to Jasper.
He ignored me and walked ahead. I smirked at him and turned to Edward.
"He's seriously annoyed. He's thinking of just grabbing Alice and running for it. He hates shopping." Edward said grinning.
"He's just scared. Same ol' Jazz. He's a scaredy-cat." I said.
"I am not!" Jasper yelled from across the store. People turned around and glared at him.
"Are too!" I called to him and then said to Edward, "One time, when I was 16 we went on a trip with our parents I forget where, and we went cliff-diving. He refused to do it even though his little sister already did it. He ended of just closing his eyes and walking off. It was hilarious."
"I bet," Edward laughed.
"Bella," Jasper hissed in my ear.
"Yes brother dearest?" I said innocently, my eyes wide.
"Shush. No talking." He said putting a hand over my mouth.
I nodded fake fright in my eyes.
Once he took his hand away and walked across the room I smiled and started giggling.
"See what I mean? He's even afraid of being embarrassed!" I giggled to Edward.
"I know!" He said laughing.
We slowly stopped laughing and looked up at eachother. I looked in his eyes and got lost. I don't know how long we were staring at each other. 5 seconds, 5 years I don't know.
"Bella!" Alice said.
Our stare broke and we looked at Alice. She was standing with almost every female garment in the store over her arms and over Jasper's.
"Time to try stuff on!" She called.
I groaned. This was going to take forever.

Bella walked to alice's side, grumbling about being too perky and shopping. I chuckled and walked around the store thinking about her. And how I felt. How did I feel?
I had no idea.
I mean, you couldn't exactly call it 'love'….. but could you? I didn't know…. I just really wanted to protect her and make her like me and want me in the way I wanted her.
I wanted Alice's vision to come true.
With all my heart and being, I wanted it to come true.
But, I couldn't love her. No. I couldn't. Too much pain for me if she doesn't love me.
Edward. I looked up in Jasper's direction. He was leaning against the wall in front of me with his arms crossed, staring at me. Searching.
That's my sister. And I will protect her from whatever and whoever I feel I need to.
"Jasper, I would never-" I started.
I know Edward. I just don't want her getting hurt. Physically or emotionally.
"Jasper, I don't plan on hurting her, physically or emotionally, in any way or form. I promise."
"Good. Just being the overprotective big brother here." He joked, smiling at me, but his eyes were worried.
I just don't want them falling in love and then have to break it off. They need to be careful. But they need eachother. He thought, looking away.
Did I need her? Frankly yes. But did she need me?
I seriously doubt it.
