BPOV
I sat in the bathroom in the red bathing suit they made me put on, if you could even call it that. It was a backless one piece with a low dip in the front. I was barely covered in this skimpy piece of cloth and I already had the urge to cover myself up.
"Bella! Come on, you have been in there forever!" Rose said trying to coax me out of the bathroom.
"I am not coming out while this…this thing is on my body" I screamed angrily through the doorway. I knew I just met Rosalie and I should be showing her my "happy Bella" side, as Alice liked to call it, but when she joined forces with the pixie, it was all over.
After my little outburst, I sat in the bathtub counting the tiles when it became strangely quiet. I hopped out of the tub and put my ear to the door trying to hear what they were scheming.
"Bellaaaaaaaaaaa!" Alice's high pitched voice sang through the door
"Wouldn't it be a shame if you went the whole summer without being able to read any of you books?"
That little evil, manipulative, two-timing pixie! She had my most prized possessions!
"You wouldn't dare!" I growled back at them.
"Oh Isabella, you know I would." You could tell by the way Alice's voice went from high and perky to low and kind of frightening that she was serious.
I threw open the door and gave each of them my best withering stare. At the sight of my expression, Rose doubled over with laughter while Alice asked if something was wrong with the look on my face.
"You need help on that stare, honey" Rose said passing me, proceeding on to her suitcase. "A couple lessons from me and you will have that look down." Unfortunate enough, a small smile formed on my lips.
Out of her suitcase, Rose found a pair of short, white, gym shorts and tossed them to me.
"Here Bella these will go perfect with your suit. Now let's go!"
It wasn't until then that I noticed Rose's and Alice's bathing suits were even more revealing than mine. Alice had on a hot pink string bikini top with mini white boy shorts, while Rose had a dark blue suit that only covered half of what my suit did. Suddenly, I didn't feel as out of place, and a burst of confidence shot through me.
As we were walking the trail up to the pool, I was trying not to trip in my flip flops when Rose turned toward me.
"Bella, why didn't you want to go in the pool earlier?" she asked somewhat confused. "I mean you look great in that suit, not any better than me, but still good." she said smiling.
I just started down at the ground.
"Idon'treallyknowhowtoswim." I said really fast
Rose just looked at me, clearly, even more confused.
"Can you speak up a little Bells?" Rose asked. "I don't have hearing like a hawk" she said trying to break the silence.
"Ohh! Rose," Alice interjected, "Bella has a problem trying to stay afloat in the pool. I've tried to show her it's as easy as riding a bike, but she still sinks anyways. It's pretty funny to watch actually." she said prancing in front of us.
When we finally arrived at the pool, the guys were already there along with our head counselors, James and Victoria. The guys were pool side, while Victoria showed them her "exotic dance of the swan". At least, I hope that's what she was doing. As we approached the guys, Rose introduced us again to everyone before pairing off with Emmett. I'd have to ask her about them later.
Alice and I peeled off our shorts and let our feet dangle in the water, watching Victoria and her attempt to dance, or not drown. I wasn't quite sure which. While Alice pulled out her magazine, my eyes wandered over to where Edward was a couple feet away from us. I let my eyes travel from his feet up, knowing, that if I got lost in his green eyes again, I might not be able look away. He was in dark green swim trunks with a brown stripe going the down side. His chest and arms were so muscular, toned, and....yummy, that I just wanted to run up to him and let him hold me in those arms of a God. As my brown eyes worked up to his face, I was startled to see that he was staring right back at me. I could feel a blush rising up my cheeks, and quickly looked away. Before I knew it, Edward and Jasper were making their way over to us.
Oh my god! I turned to Alice with alarm visible in my eyes. I didn't know what to say to them. Oh God! What if I fall in the pool while talking to them?
"Relax Bells, everything will be fine." Alice said in a hushed reassuring tone, not taking her eyes off her magazine. I tried my best to look interested in my nails.
"Hello ladies," a voice with a hint of a Southern accent greeted us.
Alice, her usual self, giggled and asked what was up with the guys. Although it got annoying, I was grateful for Alice's outgoingness and perkiness at that moment.
"We thought we would get to know you girls a little bit better." I could tell instantly it was Edward who had spoken. He appeared to be talking to Alice, but his eyes were set on me.
"Well, I'm Bella Swan and this is my friend Alice Brandon" I managed to squeak out.
"I'm Edward Cullen." He said with those green eyes working their magic on me. I felt like I was going to melt. Oh pleaseeee! Ohh pleaseeeee don't let this be a dream!
Someone clearing throat brought us both out of our…hmm I'm not sure what you would exactly call it.
"Oh! Umm an-and this is my friend Jasper Hale." Edward, clearly as embarrassed as I, was looked down at his feet making circles in the pool.
"Where are you guys from?" Jasper said taking over the responsibility to speak for the both of them.
"We're from up north. Forks, Washington to be exact." Alice said in what I could tell was her 'flirty voice.' "How about you guys?"
"Alaska" they said simultaneously.
Alice and I giggled. I think Alice would agree with me on this one when I said that they were cute! No wait! They were Gods from above!

As Emmett, Jasper, and I made our way to the pool I couldnt help but keep my mind from wandering to Bella. Those deep chocolate brown eyes, her long rich brown hair that with a slight wave to it, and her infectious smile. I was too busy thinking about Bella that I didnt even realize we had arrived at the pool. Emmett like the little kid he is ran straight into the pool with his Tee shirt on and flip flops and did a huge canon ball. He resurfaced laughing like usual, and Jasper and I couldnt help but chuckle at the big goofy grin across his face. Jasper and I threw off our shirts and entered the pool when we saw the girls arrive. I couldnt help but stare at Bella as she withdrew from her shorts and situated herself by the side of the pool with Alice. Bella in her magnificent red bathing suit was something that I could now dream about. She was the most beautiful creature I have ever seen; the cream cheese to my bagel as Emmett would say. As my green eyes locked with hers I got lost in the deepness of her eyes. This girl was going to be the death of me!!
