Two chapters in one day! Alright! Maybe I'm back on my game! Or maybe it's because I'm stuck at home with a cold that my roommate gave me. . Oh well, more for you guys! Please keep reviewing. It makes my heart happy. :)

BPOV:
Class is boring. Well, isn't everything boring compared to Alice Cullen? I mean, she's beautiful. I'm not even sure when I started to like girls, but I don't know if it counts because you'd have to be an idiot to not want Alice. I mean, look at her!
I sent a quick text to Charlie letting him know that I might not be home until late. His only response was "K". I mean, it's not like we have a great relationship. I think I remind him too much of my mom, and he wasn't ever around, so what am I supposed to do? Throw my arms around him and call him Daddy after 17 years of nothing? Not likely.
Shit, I forgot I have History with Jessica and Mike. Maybe they won't notice me? Not a good chance since the teacher is beyond dull. Great, here they come.
"Bella!" Jessica has one of those fake smiles on her face and so does Mike. Ugh. Can today be over already? I want to see Alice. "Can we talk to you for a second?".
I don't want to be super rude and start making enemies right off the bat, so I clear off the table and motion for them to sit down.
"So, Alice invited you over to the Cullen's, huh?"
"Uhm.. Yeah, Jessica. You were there..." I'm a little confused
"Yeah, well, I missed some of your conversation."
I'm not really sure you could call it a conversation, actually. More like a big ball of Bella Swan awkwardness wrapped in an Alice Cullen wrap. Mmmm, Alice Cullen wrap. Woah, I need to stop that.
"Well, Mike and I," She looked at Mike and he's staring at me with those puppy dog eyes and nodding along to whatever Jessica says "we just thought we'd warn you about them."
"I'm sorry, warn me?"
"Yes." Jessica says smugly. Mike's nodding with what I think he assumes to be a serious expression. He just looks constipated. "We just thought we'd let you know that the Cullen's have to be setting you up for a serious prank because you're new. They never associate with anyone, never even talk to anyone, much less invite them to their house. You're just setting yourself up to get hurt, Bella."
The bell rang and as we all got up to leave Mike decided to let me know he'd always be here for me if I needed him. Ick. There is literally less than nothing about him that appeals to me.
Oh well. I knew that Alice Cullen was too good to be true. I'm a few steps away from my truck when I hear a familiar voice.
"Hey, Bella!" Oh, God, that voice. But why is she talking to me? I guess they intend to make the best of this prank.
"Hey, Alice. You know, I didn't think you'd actually want me over.." Alice makes some weird facial expressions. She goes from looking confused to like she wants to eat me, back to confused again. Weird.
"Oh? And why wouldn't I want you over?" That. Voice. It might be worth a prank to hear that voice a little while longer.
I make a face. I was really hoping that she wouldn't make me spell it out for her. I rush out with it."Well, Jessica said... Jessica said that you guys never talk to anyone, much less invite anyone over, and it must just be a big prank on the new girl."
Oh. Shit. Ohmygod, she's pissed. She's REALLY pissed. I, for one, never thought that Alice's beautiful face could ever contort like that. She looks like she's about to throw my truck across the parking lot... or me. Should I run? No, no. If she's gonna kill me, at least I want to see her face again. This is definitely not healthy thinking.
All of the sudden I hear someone ask Alice what's wrong in a really prominent southern drawl. It's the blonde one that's almost always with the bronze haired one. Jasper and Edward, I think their names are. Great. He's gonna be the one to kill me, and I won't even get to see Alice.
"Well, Bella seems to think, due to Jessica Stanley, that we only want her over for a prank on the new girl."
I don't care for Jessica at all, but I feel really sorry for her in that moment. None of the Cullen's that I've met so far look like they really care for her, much less care to be talked about, and she's combined them. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything...
"Bella, we never have anyone over because no one is ever interesting. We don't care to have them over, love. We aren't the type of people to invite someone over just to do that..."
I've quit listening, and I should probably start back, but I'm just too happy. They wouldn't do that. I'm not sure why I believe him, he could be lying, too, but I do. Alice Cullen honestly wants me, Bella Swan, over at her house. Can I fly? Cause I feel like I can fly.
"Are you driving, or am I?" I pipe up. What am I doing? I'm flirting with Alice Cullen! Nothing can stop me, I can fly!
Alice looks my truck over and states that she thinks it'll be better if she drives. Now wait just one minute! Is she implying that there's something wrong with my truck?! My truck is perfect. I mean, yeah, it's a little rusty, and a little iffy on starting but he's mine!
Like she can read my mind, she tells me to calm down. And then, like it's the most casual thing to say in the world while walking away, she mentions I'll like the Porsche.
I run to catch up. "I'm sorry, did you say Porsche?!"
