Hey guys! It's been over a month since an update and I'm super sorry! Maybe, I could get a few reviews for this chapter? Pretty please with Edward on top? (:

"Oh, Jacob..." I said, quickly putting my phone away. "Uh... He..." I started but Edward interrupted me.
"Bella, just tell me." He said, not quite sure if he was mad or not.
"I met him at our first game of the season, and he gave me his number. We weren't dating back then, so I didn't think it was that big of a deal. He keeps calling me and texting me, and I don't answer." A pause. "You know I would never cheat on you, right?" I whispered the last part, looking up in his bright green eyes.
"I know that. I was just merely curious." He smiled slightly, and looked back down at A Midsummer's Nights Dream.
I let it slide, when Alice came skipping into the room.
"I have it all planned out, Bella." She said, and took a seat next to me.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, since today is Thursday, and tomorrow is Friday, we have a sleepover tomorrow night, and shopping on Saturday." She squealed. I opened my mouth to say something, and she stopped me. "And yes you do have to go."
"Okay, fine. I'll be there." I sighed. "Oh my gosh, is that the time?" I said, looking at the huge clock over the fire place. I collected all my books on the coffee table, and shoved them in my backpack. "I really have to get home. I'll see you guys tomorrow." I kissed Edward quickly and hugged Alice quickly. "Bye, Esme and Carlisle!" I called throughout the house.
"Bye, honey." Esme called back.
"Bye, and stay off that leg." Carlisle said, probably from his office.
"I will." For the past few weeks, I haven't used my crouches, since I get my cast off soon, thankfully. The final tournament for volleyball, wasn't until after I got my cast off, so I had a few weeks to practice, before the scouts were coming to watch our game.
I quickly drove home, and parked in the driveway. I walked into the house, and my dad was watching a baseball game. I dropped my backpack next to the couch, and plopped down.
"Hey, Dad. Can I go to Alice's house tomorrow night? 'Cause we're going dress shopping on Saturday." I asked him.
"Sure." He said, not looking up from the TV.
"Okay, thanks." I answered, then picked up my backpack, and headed upstairs. Lucky for me, Charlie didn't pry. He didn't ask too many questions or even care why I went somewhere.
I finished the rest of my homework, and went to bed.
"Come in!" I heard from the other side of the door, after I knocked a few times.
I walked into the Cullen's house, and found Alice setting up three sleeping bags in the middle of the living room.
"Alice, it's only like six o'clock." I said, and dropped my bag at the end of one of the sleeping bags.
"I know, I just wanted everything to be set up." She said, and sat down on one of them.
"Who's the third one for?" I said pointing to the red one, that Alice wasn't sitting on.
"Oh, I invited Rose from volleyball." Alice smiled lightly up at me. Rose is gorgeous. She's probably the prettiest girl in school. Her boyfriend is Emmett McCarty, the linebacker, and also Edward's best friend. Rose and I aren't the closest, but we used to practice together sometimes, when my foot wasn't broken.
"Okay!" I smiled back at her.
Rose arrived a few minutes later, and we went to the kitchen to get dinner.
"So, guys... funny story..." Alice started. "I don't know how to cook, so I don't have dinner ready." She laughed uncomfortably.
"It's okay, Ali." Rose laughed a little.
"Why don't we have a cook off?" I asked excitedly. Nobody knew I could cook good besides my dad and my mom, so they are in for a surprise.
"Yeah!" Rose agreed.
"I'll be the judge." Alice offered.
"Okay, since you're the judge, rules?" I asked.
"Um... It has to be a dinner, big enough to serve three people. It can be done with whatever ingredients and however long, but not too long. Okay, go!" Alice said, and Rose and I took off into different areas of the kitchen. But what to make?
Lasagna.
I quickly put my hair up in a ponytail with some loose strands falling out in front of my face. I pushed them out of the way and, grabbed the noodles from the Cullens huge pantry, along with the sauce and other ingredients.
I quickly made the meat sauce, with a huge bowl and spoon. I looked over at Rose, who was clattering around in a cabinet trying to find a pan.
"Don't hurt yourself, Rose." I joked.
"Keep your eyes on your own work, Swan." She laughed, not looking back at me.
I set the oven temperature and went to finish my creation. I put layers upon layers of the sauce, noodles and cheese. into the pan.
"Twenty minutes left!" Alice said impatiently from the bar that stuck out from the counter.
"Ali, you said we could have as much time as we wanted." I complained.
"Oh yeah. Sorry, I forgot." She giggled a little, and went back to scrolling through her phone. I finished it off with a ton of cheese. I popped it in the oven, and went to start my side dish. I just grabbed a head of lettuce that was sitting in the fridge, and just chopped it up and put it in a big bowl.
"Hey, guys!" I heard someone boom through the kitchen. I turned around and in walked Edward and Emmett.
"Hey, B." Edward walked up to me, and gave me a quick kiss on the lips.
"Making me dinner?" He winked.
"Nah, just having a cook off." I smiled at him, and finished extra ingredients to the salad. "And it should be ready in about ten minutes."
"It smells like heaven in here!" Emmett boomed. He was talking to Alice at the bar, and plopped down in a barstool next to her.
"Mine should be done in like five to ten minutes." Rose said, from in front of the stove.
"Yeah, mine too. I'll go set the table." I offered.
"No, no. Let the boys do it. They haven't done anything but get in our way." Alice protested.
"Alice, what have you done?" Rose cocked and eyebrow at her.
"I'm judging! That's hard work."
"Uhuh." Rose nodded, with a smirk on her face. The guys had already left, to go set the table.
I pulled the lasagna out of the oven, and set it on a heating pad in the middle of the counter. Rose finished her creation and set it next to mine. She made tacos.
We both carried the food to the dining room, and set them in the middle of the table. I went back and grabbed the salad to serve.
Esme and Carlisle came into the dining room and took their seats at the table.
"Since not everyone knows, I'll just tell them what it's about." Alice suggested. "Rose and Bella did a cook off. Rose made tacos and Bella made the lasagna. I'm the judge, by the way." Alice told the whole group, since Carlisle and Esme didn't know what was going on. "Dig in!"
Everyone got a helping of lasagna, salad, and a taco. Rose and I were just staring at each of them, waiting for some emotion to cross their faces. They were so serious, it was like it was freaking Top Chef!
Alice chewed a bite of my lasagna, then took a bite of Rose's taco. She tasted them carefully, then looked up at us.
"I've made my decision." Alice said calmly.
"Bella, you're the winner." She grinned at me.
"Yes!" I yelled, and threw a fist up in the air.
We finished dinner, after a few complements regarding my lasagna were sent my way. Rose, Alice and I went into the living room, Alice insisted we watched a movie.
"Alice," Rose whined.
"Why can't we go hang out with the guys?" I whined along with her. Alice wouldn't let us go with our boyfriends after dinner.
"It's girls night." was all she said, and plopped down on the couch, after she pushed play.
We watched a few movies, and talked a bit, before we decided to hit the hay.
A day full of shopping was headed my way.
