BPOV

I wake up to nudges on my arm, making my face move & slip into the wet grass.

My eye brows scrunch & I let out a whine.

I turn away from the nudges, not ready to deal with whatever it is.

The nudging continues.

"Bella." A deep voice calls to me. "Bella wake up."

I recognize this voice as Edward.

"Edward?" I ask, my voice sleepy.

"Yeah, it's me."

I pull my body up & rub the water from my cheeks. I look around & notice Alice isn't around.

"Where's Alice?" I ask.

Edward's face falls a little & I don't know why.

"Oh, uh. She went to sixth."

I nod & shake my head, trying to get myself to wake up. I rub my eyes until I am finally satisfied with my state of awake.

Edward is sitting across from me, looking down, playing with the grass.

I look at the beanie on his head.

I don't know why, but I'm totally obsessed with it.

I want to hold it, smell it. It's intriguing.

I touch the beanie on my head & get an idea.

"Wanna trade?" I ask him, pointing to his beanie.

He doesn't know what I'm pointing at for a while, looking around behind him until he realizes what I'm asking.

"So now you like orange?" He replies, taking me off guard. He's smirking at me, and it's totally hot. I swoon inside.

"I never said I disliked orange, just that you shouldn't hate on grey."

He looks like he's pondering over my statement before he sighs dramatically.

"Well alright then." He takes the beanie off of his head & I remove mine.

We switch beanies in one swift motion, our fingers grazing slightly.

My pulse quickens & I try my hardest to keep my blush from appearing on my cheeks.

I put his hat on my head & he puts mine on his. We look at each other & begin to laugh.

"Looks good on you." Edward says.

Now I blush.

"Thanks."

Should I say he looks nice in my hat?

We're silent & I realize I miss Alice. I'm not always the best at conversation.

The whole way to 6th yesterday, I prepped myself to strike conversation with Edward. Then I basically attacked him as soon as I sat down. I wanted to swallow myself whole.

"How far into 6th are we?"

"About ten minutes."

I want to ask him why he woke me up.

"Do you want to do something?" I ask instead.

He looks a bit taken aback by my suggestion. "I mean…we can't show up to class 10 minutes late, so I thought-" I automatically backtrack.

"There's a park about 20 minutes away, walking." He cuts me off. He gives me an opening. I take it.

"I can drive." I say. Edward nods but doesn't say anything, so I get up & walk over to my car. He follows & gets in when I unlock the door.

"What do you want to listen to?" I ask, as I turn the car on.

Edward looks confused, not aware of my driving routine.

"I always have to pick something to drive to. Since it's your first time in my car, you can pick. I won't pull out until it's started."

I hand him my iPod hooked up to my stereo. He looks at me questioningly again before he begins to search through it.

I can feel myself becoming irrationally nervous, anxious to see if we have any music in common. Normally I wouldn't care what anyone thinks, but for some reason I want us to share something.

But then his whole face lights up.

"Your iPod is amazing." He's still looking at it, scrolling. "I don't know what to pick."

My heart sings.

"Anything you're in the mood for."

He searches for a bit longer & then the opening drums of Alphabeat's 'Fascination' fills the car.

"Nice!" I exclaim. "I haven't listened to these guys in forever. I didn't even think anybody knew who they are."

"Alice & I love Alphabeat." Edward says, and then begins to sing along with their lead girl singer.

Easy living killed the young dudes
In the high boots
Teenage in the pace age
That's when love burns
And now it's your turn

I can tell he's singing in a higher octave than his voice goes, because it keeps cracking. I'm in a fit on giggles in my seat.

I haven't witnessed Edward goof off since I met him, so seeing him singing like an idiot is a pleasant surprise.

I can feel all my barriers of insecurity fall away along with his.

By the time the chorus hits, we're both wailing our way down the street.

Adventure!
What will these two do for the remainder of school?
