"Bellaaa, wakey, wakey sunshine!"

"Bella."

"Bellaaa."

"Bella.

That's it, "Go away! I'm trying to sleep you torturing monsters."

They laughed, and then pulled my covers off, great.

I looked up at my two annoying best friends, "I hate you." And walked into the bathroom to take a shower.

Fifteen minutes later, "Bella come on! The mall awaits!"

I rolled my eyes and stepped out of the shower, "Oh yeah Alice, the mall awaits…"

I walked into my room after drying off, "You guys are impatient, annoying, shopaholic monsters."

That only made them laugh, "We love you too Jelly-Bean. Now get dressed, wear something comfortable you'll be walking around all day."

"Awesome." I walked into the huge closet and found dark blue sweats.

Alice walked in after me, "Oh Bells, those are cute, I bought them for you from Victoria's Secret. Remember? Here this shirt will look good with the sweats." She handed me a white shirt with blue writing on it.

"Thanks Ally." She smiled and ran off, I put on the clothes and found my green converse. Now I'm ready.

The girls were laying on my bed, both wearing some sweats a shirts. Shopping attire.

"Okay guys I'm ready," Alice hopped up grinning "But I'm hungry." Her smile dropped and I smirked.

"Fine." She sighed, "Just don't take too long."

I nodded and grabbed my cell, IPod and a hoodies that Alice had ready for me and we all went downstairs.

Me and Rose ate some cereal, while Alice made some toast.

Rose looked at me, "So Bella did you work everything out with Luke yesterday?"

I nodded, "Yup, Lauren literally forced herself on him, we're cool. Just friends though."

Alice smirked, "Not for long."

And then I remembered my conversation with Edward, I'm not ready to tell anyone yet.

I took my bowl to the sink when I was done, "Okay guys let's go. Can I drive?"

Rosalie ran to the front door, "Shot gun!"

Alice groaned, "No! Rosalie you always get shot gun! How come I never get to sit up front? Huh? What do you all have against short people!?" Her voice trailed off, as she ran away.

I shook my head and laughed at my two crazy friends. I grabbed my keys and ran after them.

The were booty bumping each other my the passengers side and when I unlocked the door Rosalie jumped in, and Alice pouted.

"Wow, all that for a seat." I looked at Alice "What song would you like to hear, Miss. Cullen?"

She thought for a moment, "Oh! How about Poker Face?" Rose and I groaned, we hated that song, but Alice loved it.

"Fine," I turned up the music and put the cars roof down, since it was still warm enough.

We reached their heaven in twenty minutes, with my driving. I didn't get a chance to put the roof up, they were already out of the car.

I followed them into the mall and tried to keep up, as they ran around picking stuff out.

"Bella try this on, it should look fabulous on you." Alice threw a purple dress my way and I went into the dressing room. "Make sure you show us how it looks!"

I put the dress on and stepped out of the fitting room, without even looking in the mirror.

"Oh my god! Yes! You're getting that." She pushed me back into the dressing room. "I told you Rose!"

I sighed and changed into my normal clothes. This is gonna be a long day.

Three hours, and twenty shopping bags later, we were finally allowed to have lunch.

"Okay Bella, I still want to get you some casual t-shirts and hoodies, since we only bought dresses and such. Oh! And some jeans, maybe even some flip flops since it's still warm enough." I nodded at Alice,

I was actually glad we were moving on to the casual stuff, I actually paid attention to what they picked out since I was going to wear the stuff.

"I want to buy a new pair of Converse." I told them.

"Bells you have like every color there is." Rose told me.

"Yeah but I want red high tops. I saw someone wearing them a long time ago and they looked really cool. So I want them."

"Kay, we'll buy some Chuck Taylors for you then."

We finished eating and when up to the second story of the mall, where all the 'preppy' stores were located.

We went into Hollister first and I picked out some jeans and a couple of shirts for my self. Alice found two pairs of flip flops and a bag for me.

We moved on to Abercrombie & Fitch, I found some warm sweaters and cute shirts I could wear to school.

"Oh Bella look at this! This would look really cute with the ripped jeans you bought at Hollister," Rosalie was holding up a dark blue shirt that said "Cheers To Me" In gold lettering. I smiled and she handed me my size.

Alice ran to us with a mountain of stuff in her arms. "Okay Bella check this out, I got you this cute tote you can bring to school instead of that old one. And I got you this sweater, isn't it cute, oh and also these jeans."

I groaned the tote was cute, but my current one is only a month old. The sweater was blue and the jeans were destroyed. I nodded and grabbed the stuff without arguing. We payed for our stuff and walked to Victoria's Secret.

They torture me in this store with underwear, I tend to stay in the 'Pink' section while they wonder off to find stuff to wear for their boyfriends.

Rosalie stayed with me while Alice danced off, "Okay Bella look at these sweats, they're cute and comfy, oh how about this hoodie it's totally you, look at this bra, oh what about these t-shirts?"

"Rosalie breathe." She just handed me the stuff she thought were cute and moved on to shop for her self.

I found the underwear section and picked out some cute designs. Boy shorts were the best, no matter what Alice said.

I went to pay for the stuff because I couldn't hold it all any longer. The cashier handed me my three bags and I looked for my friends.

"Can we go now." I whined once I found them "My fingers are cramped from these bags."

Alice nodded, "Just let me pay for this," She walked off but then turned around. "Oh Bella, I picked out these sprays and lotions for you."

I groaned and walked out of the store to find a bench. I had about forty bags, not exaggerating. When Alice shopped, she shopped. People who walked by me looked at me like I was crazy and I resisted the urge to flip them off.

Alice and Rose walked out of the store and laughed when they saw me sprawled on the bench. I got up and started walking with my friends, it was already six and I wanted to go home.

I led them to my car and opened the trunk, "God guys, I don't know if we'll be able to fit all of these bags into the car." I whined.

"Silly Bella." Alice smiled and started placing all of her bags on one side of trunk while Rosalie placed hers on the other. "Bella put your bags in the backseat. Try to keep the all on one side."

I placed my bags carefully on one side and was surprised that they fit. All forty of them.

Rosalie climbed into the back seat while Alice jumped in the back. "Finally" I muttered.

"Oh come on Bella, it wasn't so bad." I rolled my eyes at Alice. Of course it wasn't bad for her, she would do this for a living if she could.

We got to the house in no time and I parked my car. We got our bags and walked to the house when we opened the doors, all of the guys, Jasper, Emmett, and Edward ran to us.

"Oh my god… I've never seen so many bags in my life." Edward muttered.

"I know right!" I yelled causing the girls to roll their eyes.

"Drama queen" They muttered, before handing their bags to their boyfriends.

I started walking up stairs and Edward followed taking most of the bags from me.

"Thanks," I smiled at him.

"No problem, did you have fun today?"

"No." I scoffed.

He laughed, "Still hate shopping?"

I nodded my head, "Yup, always and forever."

We reached my room and I opened the door.

"Where should I put these?" He asked.

"My closet, I'll start putting everything away." I pointed towards the closet.

"Want some help." He looked at me.

"Sure, this will take forever." I laughed. I went to the IPod deck on the dresser and plugged my IPod in. The Cure played while we started putting everything away. We talked and laughed, and actually got to know each other all over again. He wasn't exactly the same as he was three years ago, but I knew that he was trying, and for now that's all that mattered.

Edward and I went down stairs, after about an hour of putting my clothes away. Everyone was in the kitchen trying to make dinner,

"Here guys I'll help, what exactly are you making though?" I asked.

"Lasagna." They all answered in unison.

I sighed and took over the kitchen. They were all hopeless when it came to making dinner. Forty minutes later we had Lasagna, salad, and garlic bread ready.

"Yes! A home cooked meal!" Emmett…

Jasper and Edward set up the dining room table and we carried the food out while Emmett made our drinks. We all sat down and started eating, with an easy conversation flowing.

"Do you guys wana watch a movie?" Rosalie asked.

We all nodded, Alice especially, "Great! Let's all change into our PJ's and we'll have like a huge sleepover!"

We made the boys do the dishes, since we made most of the food.

"Bella wear the cute set I bought for you today okay?" Alice asked and I nodded. It really was cute and since it was from Victoria's Secret it was Alice approved. Dark blue shorts with big rhyme stones one the butt that spell out "PINK" and a white wife cami with blue lettering that matched the shorts.

We al met up in the living room and tried to choose a movie,

"Guys I wana watch Saw."

"No Emmett."

"How about Mean Girls?"

"Forget about it Alice."

"Schindlers list?"

"Too depressing Jasper."

"How about Clueless?"

"Rosalie no."

"Juno?"

"Kind of gay Edward."

"What about Pineapple Express?"

They all looked at me with a grin.

"We'd be so dead without you Bells." Emmett ran to the DVD player and popped the movie in. Alice turned the lights off and threw some blankets at us.

We were in our usual seating, Alice and Jasper on the love seat, Rose and Emmett on the big comfy couch, and I'm on the small puffy chair, except this time I had Edward by my side. And we were sharing the blanket.

Half way through the movie I felt getting more tired, Edward wrapped his arm around me and told me to sleep if I wanted to. I still wasn't comfortable around him, every time he touched me or talked to me I remembered all those times he tormented me, he was terrible to me and that just doesn't go away.

All of a sudden I felt being lifted, I opened my eyes to see Edward carrying me bridal style.

"What are you doing?!" I shrieked.

"You were tired, I'm carrying you to your room."

"I can walk you know!" I tried to jump out of his hold, but he just tightened his grip on me.

"Bella don't be stubborn."

"I'm not being stubborn I just don't want you carrying me! Now put me down!"

"Nope."

"I said put me DOWN!" Is this guy serious?

"Bella," He warned, "Don't make this difficult, remember our truce?"

"First of all I'm not being difficult and second of all I also remember not fully forgiving you. So I'm going to say this one more time. Put. Me. DOWN!"

He sighed and started sprinting towards my door, once he reached my room he dropped me on my bed and glared at me.

"How long is it gonna take you to get over this?" He asked.

"What do you mean how long it's going to take me? I'm gonna take as long as I want, so don't try to guilt me or pressure me into forgiving you, because it's going to work!"

Does he seriously think I'm gonna forgive him in one day?

"Bella are you serious? You're acting like an immature brat. I apologized, what more can I do. You seriously need to stop acting like a bitch, okay?" He looked mad, but I didn't care.

"I'm an immature brat? I'm a bitch? What does that make you then? A class A jackass! If you want me to be friends with you again, you have to actually prove that you're not a total douche bag, but so far I don't think it's working for you." I replied calmly… well… almost.

"What about you!" He yelled.

"What about me!? I did nothing to you! You left me not vise versa!" At that moment I really wanted to slap the daylights out of him.

"So is this how it's going to be? You always yelling at me and telling me I'm an asshole?"

"Well if you're going to be an asshole, I have no problem reminding you."

"Bella I'm trying, but if you're not going to cooperate I'm not gonna try much longer."

Oh my god… That stupid jerk.

"Fine! Why don't you just leave again, treat me like shit and forget this ever happened!"

"Bella that's not wh-"

"Leave!" I threw a pillow at him which he dodged.

"Bella I'm sor-" Why doesn't he just leave.

"Just leave Edward." I whispered. He made no move to leave so I got up and walked into my bathroom and locked the door.

I couldn't believe this. After last night, I thought he would actually try to make things right. He owes me, I did nothing wrong he's the one that left.

I didn't notice that I was crying, until I looked in the mirror and the only thing I could think at the moment was Luke.

I heard the door close meaning Edward left, I opened the door and walked to my night stand, where my cell was.

I scrolled through my contacts and called the number.

"Hello?"

"Luke?"

"Yeah Bells it's me. Is everything al right? Are you hurt, what happened?"

"Luke! I'm fine I just… you're gonna think it's stupid."

"Bells I would never think that, now tell me what's wrong."

"I… I got into a fight with him."

"With who Bella?"

"Edward, I know that nothing unusual but last night he apologized for everything and I thought he meant it, but tonight he said I was being an immature brat and that I yell at him all the time and that… and…" My voice broke and I started crying.

"Bella? Bells I'll be there in five minutes okay? Hang on."

"No. Luke it's already nine and we have school tomorrow and I'm already wearing my PJ's and I don't want to bother you" He cut off my rambling.

"Bella don't be silly, you're not bothering me at all, in fact you don't know how happy it makes me that you called, now hang in there I'm coming." He hung up.

I couldn't be his friend much longer, I liked him too much to hide my feelings, one day… and that day is going to come soon, I would tell him.

I was still sitting on my bed, when I heard the door bell ring, I slipped on my flip flops and ran down stairs.

Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and Rose were all asleep in the living room so the didn't hear the door bell… despite it's loudness.

I opened the front door to find Luke standing there with a concerned look. Without any words he grabbed my hand and walked us to his car. Once he got into the car he turned to me and I finally got to look at him.

He was only wearing black basketball shorts, and a maroon zip up hoodie over his 'Forks Football' T-shirt. And I realized that I was still wearing my shorts and a tank top.

"Bells do you want to get Ice Cream and then tell me what happened?" He asked in a soft voice.

I nodded and he wiped away the tears, that were still falling down my cheeks.

"Don't cry Bells," He murmured "It breaks my heart."

I nodded again and he wiped away more tears. He started driving towards the small Ice Cream shop, that was always open.

Once we got there, he opened my door for me and grabbed my hand, the Ice Cream shop was open, but there were only two other people there.

Luke walked us towards the young man, who stood behind the cash register.

"Bells what flavor do you want?" He turned to me.

"Cookie Dough." I always got Cookie Dough when I was upset, it's the best comfort Ice Cream out there.

Luke nodded, "Okay then, one Cookie Dough and one…" He looked at all the flavors, "Do you have Moose Tracks?"

The cashier nodded and started scooping the Ice Cream into huge waffle cones. Luke payed for the Ice Cream, since I didn't even think about bringing my wallet.

"Do you want to sit outside?" He asked.

I nodded, "Yeah that would be better."

He took my hand with his free one and led us outside to one of the picnic tables, we sat on the table, with our feet resting on the benches.

"So tell me what he said to make you cry." I looked at him and noticed that he looked upset.

"He just… After everything that happened… I mean last night after you dropped me off he apologized, and it was completely sincere, or so I thought. And tonight he called me an immature child and a bitch and he said that I'm making harder-"

"He called you a bitch?!" Luke interrupted.

"Uh… Yes bu-"

"No buts! How can he call you a bitch! You out of all people, god I warned him…"

What is he talking about, "You warned him? Warned his about what?"

He sighed, "You might be mad but… I mean I know it isn't any of my business, but Emmett told me what Edward did to you guys, and then one day I heard Edward talking about you in the locker room and I lost it, I warned him, I told him not to hurt you any more, every time he was brought up in our conversation you looked so pained it was completely heartbreaking to know that he brought you so much pain, I couldn't stand it anymore…"

"Luke," I whispered and he looked up, "I don't want you to feel obligated to protect me from him, it's not like you're my…" I looked down, I couldn't say it, I couldn't say 'boyfriend'.

God, the guy warned Edward to not hurt me again, he cared enough about me to warn a guy… I want to be more than friends and I want it now.

I took a deep breath. "Luke I have to tell you something."

LPOV

That bastered. I'm gonna beat him up I swear to god, that son of a bitch made her cry. The beautiful innocent angel, how could he.

"He just… After everything that happened… I mean last night after you dropped me off he apologized, and it was completely sincere, or so I thought. And tonight he called me an immature child and a bitch and he said that I'm making harder-"

Whoa what! "He called you a bitch?!"

"Uh… Yes bu-" She can't honestly be defending him.

"No buts! How can he call you a bitch! You out of all people, god I warned him…"

Bella looked confused "You warned him? Warned his about what?"

I sighed, what if she thinks I'm butting into her life… "You might be mad but… I mean I know it isn't any of my business but Emmett told me what Edward did to you guys, and then one day I heard Edward talking about you in the locker room and I lost it, I warned him, I told him not to hurt you any more, every time he was brought up in our conversation you looked so pained it was completely heartbreaking to know that he brought you so much pain, I couldn't stand it anymore…"

"Luke," She whispered and I looked up, "I don't want you to feel obligated to protect me from him, it's not like you're my…"

Not her what? Her boyfriend? I know that, and she doesn't even know, how much I'd want to be though. Tonight is the night, I have to tell her… I have to do something about his, I can't be just a friend anymore, it's too hard.

All of a sudden she took a deep breath, "Luke I have to tell you something."

Why does she look so nervous? She continued.

"I'm risking a lot by doing this and I hope I don't lose you in the process but… Luke… You might think I'm completely weird and you might now want to be my friend any more and I hope that isn't the case but…" She looked so cute when she was rambling. But why was she rambling in the first place?

"Bella…" I whispered, urging her to go on.

She looked me in the eye, "Luke I like you… more than a friend."

Oh dear god… She likes me… Bella Swan likes Luke Heaton… more than a friend.

I felt my Ice Cream drop, but I didn't care. I grabbed Bella, one arm around her waist the other on the back of her head and I kissed her, I wanted her to see how much I care for her, how much I need her.

For a second I panicked, because she wasn't responding to the kiss, but then I felt her arms sneak around my neck and her hands knit into my hair.

This was bliss. It was beyond bliss, the girl that has stolen my heart, was in my arms. She was everything.

She pulled back an inch and looked at me, "So I didn't scare you away?" She asked breathless.

I chuckled, "You don't know, how much I wanted to tell you, Bella I've liked you ever since that day in the parking lot. I was shocked you talked to me and I was even more shocked at your kindness. You completely stole my heart, and I wouldn't have it any other way."

She closed her eyes, "Oh thank god, you don't know how nervous I was." I leaned in and kissed her again, this time it was more rough and needy. It was passionate and full of emotion.

It was perfect.

Half an hour later we decided to go home, since we had school tomorrow. We were walking back to our car and I noticed she was shivering.

"Are you cold Bells?"

The stubborn girl shook her head no.

"Yeah you are you're shivering, here take my hoodie." I took off my maroon Hollister hoodie and handed it to her.

"No I'm fine you'll get cold." Always cares about someone else more, than about herself.

"Bella please," I turned her to face me and smiled at her. She put the hoodie on and I zipped it up for her.

"It's warm." She murmured and I chuckled.

"I told you babe." I wrapped an arm around her shoulders and walked her to the passengers side.

I got in my self and looked at her, "So Bella… I was wondering you know…"

"Just spit it out Luke." She laughed.

"Okay, will you go out with me this Friday?" I laughed along with her.

"Hmm…" She wondered.

"Belllaaaaa." I whined.

"Okay, okay."

"Okay to the date?" I asked.

She nodded, "Yes."

"Good, now milady which song shall we listen to?"

She took my IPod and scrolled through it. "Lucas Heaton! Please tell me you have Touch Too Much by ACDC!" She shrieked and I laughed.

"Bella… I do have that song, you just can't find it, here let me look for it." I took my IPod and scrolled through it looking for the familiar song. I found it and pressed play.

"Woohoo!" I laughed at her enthusiasm and we sang along. We reached the house all too soon and I opened the door for her.

I took her hand and we walked to the front door.

I looked at her, "So I'll pick you up tomorrow morning?"

She nodded but then smirked, "No… I'll pick you up tomorrow."

I laughed, "Bella you were serious?"

She put her hands on her hips, "Are you implying something Luke?"

I tried to hold back a smile, "No Bells, I'll be waiting for you tomorrow morning okay?"

She smiled, "Yeah okay… Oh! Here's your hoodie back, I almost forgot."

I stopped her, "No Bells keep it, it looks better on you anyways."

"Are you sure?" She asked.

I nodded and cupped her face with my hands, "Absolutely." Leaning down I kissed her goodbye.

"I'll see you tomorrow okay?" I asked.

She nodded and kissed me again.

"Goodnight Luke." She whispered.

"Sweet dreams Bells."

I watched her walk into the house and drove off with a permanent smile on my face.

BPOV

Happiness just got a whole new meaning. Luke likes me too, he liked me so much he kissed me. And it was the best damn kiss ever.

Saying goodbye to him, was harder then it should have been, but the thought of giving him a ride to school was truly humorous.

Oh! And he asked me out on a date, this Friday, Alice and Rose will have a blast getting me ready and getting information out of Luke about our date to find me the perfect outfit.

I walked into the house and saw that no one was in the living room any more, I climbed up the stairs as quietly as I possibly could trying not to wake anyone up. I got to my room and collapsed in my bed. Only eight more hours until I see him again.

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.

"Ugh! Shut up! Shut up! SHUT UP!" I threw the alarm clock at the nearest wall and it stopped ringing.

I got up and stretch. Walking into the bathroom I grabbed my robe and placed it on the counter. The shower did a better job at waking me up and I was in a much better mood when I stepped out.

"BELLAAA." Well, there goes the good mood.

"Alice your 'Bella Barbie' week is over. I can dress my self."

She smirked, "Oh I know you can dress yourself, that's not why I'm here. Rose and Jasper had to go home and when I looked for you after they left, you were no where in sight. Care to explain."

I knew my grin was huge and I couldn't help it, I squealed like Alice squeals when she gets new shoes. "He likes me too! And he kissed me! AND he asked me out! And Alice I think I'm in love!"

"AHHHHH! Oh my god! Bella I'm so happy for you! You guys are perf- HOLD UP! We are talking about Mr. Heaton right?"

I nodded "Yes! Alice! Yes we are!"

"Tell me everything Isabella!"

And so I did. She helped me get ready, while I recapped last night and told her how much I like Luke. She was truly happy for me, and like I guessed, she told me she would talk to Luke about our date, so she can get me the perfect outfit.

She left the room after she curled my hair and did my make up, I could choose an outfit on my own. I was so honored that Alice gave me this privilege…now on to my outfit.

Something simple yet cute. GOT IT! Well the shirt at least… it was a dark blue shirt with big yellow lettering on it. Now onto jeans…

"Bella!" Alice came into my room, "Wear capris it's warm! Isn't that great, I haven't worn something other than jeans in a while, Oh! I like that shirt!"

"Alice you picked it out…"

"Yeah and I love it, here these will work." She threw denim shorts at me that stopped just below mid thigh. Unfortunately Alice threw to hard hiding me right in the face.

"Ow Alice! God do you have to whip them at me?"

"Sorry," She giggled. "Oh! Make sure to use that tote I got you today, and wear those leather flip flops! You'll look amazing!"

"Umm… Alice where's the tote?"

She ran into my closet and came back with the tote and the pair of brown leather flip flops.

"Isn't this the cutest tote though? Aren't you glad I got it for you?"

"Yeah, yeah. Can you put all of my crap in it. I'm running kind of late."

"Sure thing but Bells we have thirty minutes before we leave."

I shook my head, "Nope not me. I'm driving Luke today, since he's the one that always gives me a ride I haven't driven my car in a while, I miss it."

She laughed, "You speed maniac. Just try not to go to fast okay?"

I laughed, "I can't help it, especially with the roof down."

"I know, I know, just don't scare him away… hey, where did you get that hoodie?"

I looked at her and saw that she was pointing at Luke's hoodie that was hanging on one of my hooks.

"It's Luke's."

"Ohh… Aww, that's cute he gave you his hoodie." She cooed.

I blushed and nodded. She handed me the tote, it was full of my stuff, and I slipped on the flip flops. We ran down the stairs and I grabbed a Luna bar.

"Kay I'll see you at school Alice."

"Have fun Bells!"

I got into my car and put the roof down, I drove towards the beautiful home. I pulled up and saw Luke coming out of his house, I guess he decided to take advantage of the warm weather, because he was wearing plaid baggy shorts.

I got out of the car and stood by door waiting for him to get to the car, I thought he was going to walk to the passengers side, but instead he walked over to me and wrapped his arms around me.

"Morning baby." He murmured and my heart melted.

"Morning."

He pulled back, but then dipped his head to kiss me. Last night, when he did this, I almost fainted, and just like last night I couldn't help but wrap my arms around his neck and bury my hands in his hair.

He pushed me against my car and deepened the kiss.

I pulled back an inch and giggled, "Lucas Heaton, do you want to be late?"

"Well if this is the reason why we're late, then I definitely don't mind." He flirted.

I laughed but gave in… for three minutes… that's all. I swear.

"Let's get to school beautiful." He said and opened my door for me.

I giggled and got in. Once he was seated, he took my IPod and started looking for a song.

"Yes!" I looked at him and raised an eye brow.

"Smashing Pumpkins baby!"

I laughed at him while he turned on Bullet With Butterfly Wings

I tried not look to at him, because every time that I did, I would start cracking up. He was using a water bottle with one hand as a mic and the other arm was extended up in the air, he formed a 'Rock 'n' Roll' sign with his fingers and he was singing as loud as he could.

It was truly quite a sight. When I finally parked my car, I wiped away the tears from laughing and looked at Luke who was grinning at me. He climbed out of the car and ran over to my side to open my door for me.

I grabbed my bag and got out of the car. He kissed me once, before putting his arm around my waist and walking us to school.

People were looking at us in wonder but we didn't care, if the rumor was that we were together, the rumor was true. We have nothing to hide.

"Bells?"

"Yeah?" I looked up at him.

"Do you want to meet Kevin? I mean you don't have to, but he's been bugging me about it for a while, but I told him he would just scare you away but now…"

"Of course. I've met him before, but I've never actually spoken to him."

"Yeah he mentioned that." He was about to say something else, but a guy who looked a lot like Kevin ran up to us.

"Luke man wh- oh… Bella hey! Luke kept you hidden from me, but now that I'm here we can chill!" He grabbed me out of Luke's grasp and pulled me into a hug. Actually lifting me.

"Kevin, this is why I didn't want you near Bella, you're creeping her out already."

Luke tugged on my arm gently and I walked into his embrace.

"Bella doesn't mind, we're cool right?" I laughed at Kevin's pout.

"Right Kevin."

"See Luke, I'm always right but you just have to argue, if everyone would just listen to me for once, we would all be in a better…"

Kevin continued to ramble on while we walked to class. Well, Luke was walking me to class and Kevin was walking beside talking about whatever. I've know him personally for a couple of minutes, but he was one of the funniest guys I've ever met, sort of like Emmett.

Luke stopped walking in the middle of the hallway and motioned for me to be quiet. We watched as Kevin walked away, still talking about him being right, thinking that we were there listening.

I started laughing once he was far away. "Do you always do this to him?" I asked.

Luke laughed, "Once in a while, usually when he talks about himself and who he's the greatest."

I laughed and slapped his chest playfully, "That's terrible Luke."

"But Belllaaaaa, you heard him talk about nonsense, now that's terrible."

I laughed again.

"Bella, I really want to sit with you at lunch."

I looked at him, "And I want to sit with you too, but I mean Alice and Rosal-"

"Bella please." That cheater.

"That's not fair Luke, you can't just charm me into sitting with you, and what about your friends, I'm sure they wouldn't like me just coming over there and sitting with you with-"

"Bells don't say that, all of my friends know you, they won't mind. And I can sit with your friends tomorrow… if you guys don't mind that is…"

"No! They love you and you know Emmett and Alice, and how accepting they are. And Rose and Jasper they're nice too."

He smirked, "And then there's you…"

"Yes there's me. And I might not be so accepting you know, you might have to suck up a bit."

He laughed causing some people to turn around and look at us.

"I'll see you at lunch then?" He asked.

"Yeah… But if your friends hate me don't say I didn't warn you."

"They won't hate you baby. I don't know if it's possible to hate you." He whispered and kissed my cheek. "I'll see you later."

"See ya Luke," I walked into the classroom to find everyone staring at me, I blushed and sat down without making any eye contact. I mean gosh, what's the big deal, there's a new couple here everyday and no one makes a huge fiasco out of it. But when it's me and Luke, it's like Brangelina or something.

It was like this for the next couple classes, people following my every move and to top it off, the teacher announced that we'll have a quiz tomorrow. Again. I was relieved when my class with Alice came.

"So Luke asked me to sit with him at lunch today, do you mind?" I asked her.

"Bella no! Of course not, but he should sit with us tomorrow or something."

"Yeah I told him that he should do that, he agreed of course, but he wanted to make sure you guys wouldn't mind."

"Aww Bella, he is such a sweetheart! Ahhh! I'm so happy for you!" She squealed.

I shushed her, "Alice calm down, I don't want the world to hear."

She nodded but smiled even wider, "I know, I know. But Bella this is so awesome, you guys belong together and now you can finally be together. It's great!"

I chuckled at my best friends enthusiasm. "I know Alice, I'm extremely happy too."

The teacher shushed us and we started to actually pay attention. When the bell rang, Alice ran off telling me she'd see me after school. I walked out of the classroom, to find Luke waiting for me.

"Hello beautiful." He murmured once I was by his side.

"Hey handsome, ready for lunch?"

He chuckled, "Of course, come on let's go."

He grabbed my hand and we chatted on our way to the cafeteria, we bought food and Luke paid for my fruit salad while I wasn't looking and I glared at him which caused him to laugh.

He walked us over to his table and cleared his throat. When everyone looked at us, I scanned the crowd for people I knew, Ben and Angela sat at this table. Angela smiled and waved at me when she saw me. This girl Kate from history sat here as well, we talked a few times. And of course Kevin.

"Guys this is Bella, Bella these are my friends."

"Hey Bella! You're sitting with us today?"

I laughed and nodded. He grinned at me.

We sat down and I ended up being in between Luke and Angela, which I was glad for. I found out that everyone at the table was nice, they were nothing like Lauren and Jessica, or even Edward these were genuine people, who I think, accepted me.

The bell rang and Luke walked me to Biology, telling me he'd see me later. I saw Edward sitting at our table looking completely sad and… lost.

I sat down and prepared to ignore him, but he had other plans.

"Bella," He whispered, "Look I know you're upset, but please forgive me. I don't know what came over me and I didn't mean to call you all those terrible things, it just happened. So please… Bella…"

I look at him and saw that he was completely sincere, though that's what I thought the last time he apologized.

Thankfully, Mr. Banner walked in and started the class.

When the bell rang, I was the first one out of the class, it was beyond awkward to sit by him and I didn't want to did longer than necessary.

Luke was already in the art classroom, waiting for me with a smile on his handsome face.

"How was Bio?" He asked me.

"Awkward, since I sat next to Edward."

He frowned and nodded. We had to sketch what we took pictures of this weekend so Luke and I talked some more. The bell rang and we walked to PE together, laughing when Kevin ran up to us and told us we were jerks for ditching him this morning.

Rose was waiting for me, with a huge grin on her face. "Well hello Ms. Lovebird."

I laughed at her, "Hey Rose."

"Lucky for you, Alice told us everything that happened and we are all so happy Bells! He really is a great guy."

I nodded, "Trust me, I know."

We got dressed and walked out of the locker room, talking about a concert we wanted to go to.

Coach blew the whistle and we all looked up, "Since you all had so much fun last time, I decided to let you play dodge ball again. Same teams! Go!"

We all went back to our old team, Luke was talking to Emmett and Kevin when we walked up.

"Don't worry ladies we'll protect you." Emmett said in a fake British accent.

Rose got in a defensive stance, "Umm, excuse me, but do you me to remind you who won for our team last time." She pointed at me and I used my right hand to point at my self also. "This girl." Me and Rose said at the same time making the three laugh.

Luke looked at us, "You're right we'll probably need you to protect us."

"Probably." We muttered.

Coach blew the whistle and the balls started flying everywhere, it was much like the other time, but except this time Luke was even more playful around me. He kept on grabbing me by the waist and spinning me around, so we both dodge the balls.

It was so much fun. But soon we had to get dressed, Rose and me walked back into the girls locker room and got dressed.

"Bye Bells, I'll see you later."

"Bye Rose."

I grabbed my bag, made sure I had everything and left the locker room. Luke and I walked out at the same time and he walked over to me.

"Do you have practice Captain?"

He shook his head, "Nope, not today so take me home, beautiful." He took my hand and walked out into the parking lot.

I unlocked the car and he opened my door for me. He's such a gentleman. On our way to his house we just let the radio play without really choosing a song,

When we pulled up to his house he turned the music down, "Do you want to come in babe?"

I looked at him and he nodded his head, "Yeah you do, come on." He answered for me and got out of the car to open my door for me.

He grabbed my hand and walked us towards the beautiful house.

"Welcome to my house beautiful."

Alone with Luke... Oh boy.

Hope you love it! Tell me what you thought,
