So, this is the revision of Chapter 4. Barely anything was added/taken out. Actually, I think I didn't even change it. barely, at most. Hope you like it!
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, sadly, and nor do I own Edward. *sniffle* If I did, I would be rich and would totally hit on Robert Pattinson if I met him. Uhh...jk? Oh, and sorry, forgot to put disclaimers on my previous chapters.

Edward was still speeding down the highway at a frightening speed, but after ten minutes of silence, he finally spoke up.
"So, how has your life been for the past 10 years?" he asked. I was enjoying the silence, but I guess he wasn't.
"Eh, it's been okay. It was boring; I didn't have any close friends that I could really talk to," I admitted.
"I know what you mean. I had many friends, but none were truly good friends, besides the ones you see with me now." I was shocked at the new information Edward just told me. I mean, of course he would have a bunch of friends, and a lot of girls, I added mentally, hanging with him, but I didn't think he wouldn't have any real friends, well besides Alice, Emmett, Jasper, and Rose. I just nodded my head when he told me this.
"So, wanna play 20 questions?" I asked him, changing the subject.
"Sure, you can start." I decided to start off simple.
"What's your favorite color?" Very simple.
"I'd have to say brown," he stated, looking deep into my eyes. I held his gaze for a few seconds, but he broke it off to look back at the road ahead. I blushed, again, realizing it was the color of my eyes. But I don't realize why he would choose it. My eyes are nothing but a dull brown color; nothing special. There was an awkward pause, but he covered it with his question.
"Yours?" he asked.
"Green," I blurted out instantly. My face heated up and I turned away quickly, but not before I saw a smirk on his face. I rolled my eyes, reminded of the arrogant, over-confidant playboy he was. A memory of him kissing those girls popped up into my mind and I was instantly disgusted, but continued with the game. "What are you majoring here at Dartmouth?" I asked.
"Biology. I want to become a doctor," he said with a smile.
"Like Carlisle?" Their uncle Carlisle was a doctor. Their parents died in an unfortunate car accident when Edward was two, Alice was one, and Emmett was four. Thankfully, they had Carlisle and Esme to take them in, caring for them as if they were their own.
"Exactly." He smiled even wider. His apparent admiration for his uncle showed not in his smile, but in his eyes. His emerald orbs sparkled when Carlisle was mentioned. "How about you?"
"English," I replied. I thought back to all of my favorite classics. Wuthering Heights, Romeo and Juliet, Pride and Prejudice, to name a few.
"Of course, I should've known. Even as a child you loved reading." A small smile grew on his face as he was probably remembering a memory. A memory of my own came to me.
Flashback
A six-year-old Bella was reading Dr. Seuss's One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. It was one of her favorites of Dr. Seuss's. Alice, Edward, and Emmett were over, playing hide-and-seek, but she decided to sit out and read. She was sitting on the grass, a light breeze in the air, causing her blue summer dress to ruffle a bit. Bella was just about to read the part about the Wump with the humps, when the book was suddenly grabbed out of her hands. She looked to see who the perpetratorwas and was met with a certain bronze-haired, green-eyed seven-year-old.
"Give it back, Edward!" she shouted. "I was reading that. You can read it when I'm done." He just gave her a smirk.
"And what if I don't want to give it back? What are you going to do about it, huh? Tell someone?" Bella could feel the angry tears stinging the back of her eyes. "Aww, is wittle Bella gonna cry?" he asked mockingly.
"Just give it back, Edward. Stop being mean!" She had gotten up by now.
"Make me!" he shouted at her and pushed her to the ground. Anger bubbled inside her.
"I will!" she retorted. "ESME! CARLISLE!" she screamed, calling Edward's aunt and uncle. They immediately came out, along with Charlie, Bella's father.
"What happened here?" Carlisle demanded. Bella got back up from the ground and a traitor tear glided down her face.
"Edward was being mean to me. Again! He took the book from me while I was still reading and pushed me down," Bella's voice wavered. She cleaned off her dress of any dirt and then checked for any scratches.
"That wasn't nice of you, Edward. When we get back home we're having a talk with you," Esme chastised. "Now, say sorry to Bella."
"Sorry, Bella," he muttered, looking down at his feet. He couldn't help but to be mean to her. He liked her and didn't mean that much harm. How else was he supposed to get her attention?
"It's okay," she mumbled back. Seemingly out of nowhere, Emmett and Alice popped out.
"Are you okay, Bella? We heard yelling," Alice said, looking concerned for her friend.
"I'm fine, thank you. You're brother, and I don't mean Emmett, decided to be a meanie again," she vented, sending a glare towards Edward, who cowered back slightly.
"Sorry, Charlie, but we better get going before Bella does something to Edward," Carlisle said with a laugh. "C'mon, Edward, Alice, and Emmett." They followed their uncle to the car while their aunt spoke to Charlie.
"I'm sorry about Edward. I don't know why Edward is so rude to Bella. Again, my apologies," she said, embarrassed by her nephew's behavior.
"Don't worry, at least she's not hurt. Hey, maybe he likes her," he said, chuckling. Esme started laughing too and they said their goodbyes.
End Flashback
"Bella? Bella! BELLA!" I came back to the real world, Edward giving me a questioning look.
"Huh? Oh, sorry, were you saying something?" He smiled and shook his head.
"We've been back for a few minutes already. What were you thinking about?"
"Just a memory," I replied vaguely. Edward just nodded his head, and before I could comprehend what happened, he was opening my passenger door. Wow, that was fast. I mumbled a thank you and got the shopping bags out of the car, Edward holding a majority of them, much to my dislike.
A few feet ahead of us was everyone else. Alice skipped towards me while Jasper was struggling with her bags. "Come on, Bella, we're going to a party tonight and we have to get ready. I just got a call and there's a frat party later," Alice said, bouncing with excitement. Oh, God, help me.
"Uh, sorry to burst your bubble, Alice, but I don't do parties," I told her. I hated them. I mean, seriously, who wants to get all hot and sweaty dancing with a whole bunch of other hot and smelly people?
"Well too bad! You're coming anyways." She tugged, well more like yanked, my arm, everyone else in tow. We were reaching the doors when a brunette with wild curly hair showed up, stopping us and stepping into Edward's path. Great, here it goes again.
EPOV
Hm, she looks familiar. What was her name? Jaclyn? No. Jocelyn? I don't think that was her name. What I do think was that I was supposed to call her before.. Oh, I know! Samantha! Wait, that wasn't it either... Well, all I know is that Rosalie, Alice, and most likely Bella won't be too happy if I can't even remember her name. Damn.
I know it's not the greatest, and I promised a really good chapter, but the next one will be better. How did you like the flashback? I actually liked it. The little part in Edward's pov kinda tells what the next chapter will be like. Review please!
