The next day of school, I couldn't wait for my alarm clock to go off. The closer I was to seeing Edward, the better. He had some sort of effect on me that was irrevocably pathetic, but I couldn't help but obsess over him. The previous day with Alice and Rosalie has basically been filled with gossiping, my makeover, and doing our homework. Alice had also insisted on coming to my house before school this morning to make sure I looked absolutely breathtaking just for Edward. I, of course, told her it was not to be expected of her and that I could get by on my own, but being Alice, she ignored me and said she'd be there at 7:00 sharp. I was just pouring Honey Bunches Of Oats into a glass bowl when I heard a knock at the door.
"Hi Alice." I said, rubbing my eyes with drowsiness.
"Oh, wake up, Bella!" she rolled her eyes and pushed past me. I followed her upstairs into my bathroom, watching her spill makeup bag after makeup bag onto my small bathroom counter. As pathetic as it was, I was used to Alice constantly dumping her supplies onto my counter in the wee hours of the morning and then forcing makeup all over my face. But today, she had even more supplies than usual. I knit my eyebrows together.
"Don't do that unless you want to get Botox!" she screamed at me with her back turned. I laughed as I wondered how Alice managed to hide the eyes on the back of her head. Thank goodness Charlie had left early this morning or he would get crazy ideas about what Alice does to me.
"Why did you bring so much today?" I asked, trying to sound genuinely sincere. She stared me right in the eyes, looking unimpressed.
"Are you joking?!" she was still staring at me. I crossed my arms over my chest. What would I possibly be kidding about?
"The Fall Dance is in four weeks!" she screamed. I still didn't get it. Why would she bring her lifetime supply of make-up to my house if a dance is in four weeks anyway? Safe-keeping? I chuckled to myself and urged Alice to get to the point. She rolled her eyes and looked at me like I was a three year old kid.
"If you want Edward to ask you, I'm coming over every morning for the next month to give you a makeover!" she squealed, her ice blue eyes bright against her smiling cheeks. How had I not seen this coming? It's Alice.
"Alice! I've had all of ONE conversation with him! What good is this doing me?!" I fought back. I have to admit, her plan didn't really sound so bad. I mean, Alice is ALWAYS right about basically everything, and she does make me look pretty good after a makeover, no matter how much pain they cause me. Not to mention I would love to have Edward as my date. She must have noticed my facial expression change because she just smiled back.
"But, Bella, the only problem is that it is boys ask girls..." she said. I knit my eyebrows together again. Alice smacked my forehead, straightening the crease previously between my eyebrows, and continued on. "If he takes the hint to ask you in time, this could work. If not, someone else may beat him to the punch..." I had completely forgotten about that. She was obviously hinting about Mike Newton.
The guy had a shrine of me in his locker and asked me out on a weekly basis. Lots of girls would die to go out with Mike, but not me. Sure, he's hot, there's no denyng it, but I couldn't go out with someone with the perverted personality he had. His snide remarks and the way he never seemed to be looking at my face not only thoroughly disgusted me, but disappointed him when I crossed my arms over my chest. I shuddered remembering a time he "accidentally" grasped my left breast with his hand. Not only was it utterly embarrassing as the entire hallway saw it, but he had clearly done it on purpose, because I had screamed his name a few times in effort of him to let go. He began to massage and rub circles around it as I whacked him with a binder and ran away. It took weeks to stop being made fun of. But, no, that still did not stop Mike from loving me, or even stop staring at my boobs and raising his eyebrows at me when I would cross my arms. No, it didn't. Oh, but the worst part? He approaches me every week and treats me like his girlfriend. He has kissed me on multiple occassions and even French kissed me many times too. It was hard to get away from him, he was built strong, like Emmett. So that only added to the humiliation of being felt up by him, and made everyone else believe I was his girlfriend. I shuddered at the mere thought.
I arrived at school with Alice just in time to walk in with Rosalie. Suddenly, Edward was walking right next to me. I reminded myself to breathe and approached him.
"Hey Edward." I smiled, hoping I had brushed my teeth this morning. He looked my way and smiled.
"Hello, Bella. How are you?" He flashed me his adorable crooked smile.
"Fine, and you?"
"Now I am." I blushed a deep shade of red as we talked about English homework and the difficulty of the criteria. He even stopped and talked with me as I did my locker combination and got my books. I was surprised at myself for not saying something stupid or even not saying anything in response to his beauty. Sadly, we had to depart as the clock came closer and closer to the 8 o' clock mark and we both floored it to our next class in order to stay on time.
Sigh, until English, until English.

I couldn't believe I had done it! Carried on a regular conversation with Bella and didn't say something embarrassing. Her friends, Alice and Rosalie, turned out to be very nice, as were their boyfriends, Jasper and Emmett, who we quickly became friends in the mere minutes we had met. I couldn't help but laugh at the fact that Alice and Jasper were pure opposites. Alice was quite short with spiky black hair. Jasper was tall, blond and pale. But together, I could tell they were perfect, like they were made for each other. As lunch came, I was ecstatic when Emmett and Jasper asked me to sit with them that day. I gleefully followed them into the lunchroom and purchased my lunch right behind them in line.
"So how do you like it here so far, Edward?" Emmett asked me, trying to make conversation.
"Pretty good. A little rainy, but it's not as bad as I assumed it would be." I smiled at him.
"So . . . which girl are you into?" he asked with a small smile, clearly joking. My intention was to say 'no one yet', but my mouth failed me at that moment and uttered Bella's name ever so silently, I assumed he couldn't hear it. I looked up at him, he was quite taller than me, and by the look in his eyes I knew he had to have heard me.
"You like Bella?" he lowered his voice. It was almost inaudible, thank goodness, but I surely heard it.
"Well, yes. But please don't tell her, I don't think she feels the same way." It hurt to say the words, like they were coming from her own mouth instead of mine. He smiled at me.
"Oh, don't worry, I've got a plan." He looked me straight in the eyes and then moved to our table. I stood there, trying to figure out if Emmett having a plan was good or bad. I shook the thought from my head and followed him to the table, my heart doing backflips the whole way as I saw Bella sitting between Alice and Rosalie, eating an apple. I put down my tray between Emmett and Jasper and noticed I was sitting right across from Bella. Ah, how I loved Forks.
"How has your day been so far, Bella?" I smiled. Carrying on regular conversations wasn't so scary anymore. She looked up at me and blushed.
"Fine. You?" Her voice was my favorite melody, if only I could hear it all day long. I shook myself from my daydream and remembered she expected an answer.
"Great." I said before taking a bite out of my banana. The table was quiet for the remainder of lunch, but only because each person at the table was clearly starving. I nearly sprinted to English, very very eager to sit in front of Bella. Ah, how I loved her. I took my seat in class and listened to the tidbits of information the teacher was beginning about an upcoming project that would involve working in pairs.
"Rosalie Johnson and Emily Smith." she droned on. I eagerly awaited my partner.
"Edward Cullen and Bella Swan." I nearly jumped out of my seat with excitement. I turned around to face her. It was a project due later in the week, so I figured we would use after school time at my house, perhaps, to work on it. I suggested it to her and she smiled, saying she would meet me at my car after school was over. I was on cloud nine all day.
Finally, the time arrived that school was over. I waited by my car for Bella to come. Suddenly, she was walking towards my car, clicking away on her phone, not aware of how beautiful she was walking towards me. She reached my car instantaneously.
"Hello." I said, opening the car door for her. Was that too cliche? She didn't seem to think so, she hopped right in after mumbling out a simple hello. We drove in silence to my house and I opened the door for her as she gasped.
"Edward, it's so beautiful." she looked around at the abnormally large size of my house and admired the paintings hung on the temporarily white walls. I smiled at her as soon as she was done guffawing at the appearance of my home.
"Let me get you something to eat." I said, hoping to make her feel more at home. She simply nodded back, clearly wanting to see even more of the house. I walked into the kitchen, it's black and white tiles freshly polished, a sign that Esme, my mother, had been busy cleaning today. I made my way toward the marble counter, cold to the touch. I opened the precious white cabinets and pulled out a crystal bowl. The white refridgerator hummed and turned on as soon as I opened the door and got Bella some fruit.
"So. Let's begin." I started.
