Disclaimer: I don't own twilight.

The next day, Rose informed me that the school had found her and Emmett a place to stay just a few blocks away from the Cullen's.

"Hurry up!" I was jumping up and down, smiling like a chastity cat. My arms were flying everywhere, and I couldn't wait to go to the mall. of all places. And after we had just gone shopping yesterday. I wanted to go again. I probably looked like Alice, but I didn't care. We were going to meet Rose and Emmett in the food court, and then Alice wanted to take them shopping for a winter wardrobe.

"I never thought I'd see the day Bella wanted to go to the mall…" Jasper stared at me wide eyed, while Alice came down the stairs clapping. She danced her way over to me and threw her tiny arms around my neck.

"I'm so proud. Little Bella wants to go shopping!" she exclaimed, happily. I giggled, and pushed her out the door, Edward and Jasper following behind us.

I hummed the whole way there, my smile never leaving my face.

"This is so exiting! I cant wait to meet your friends Bella! You already met my best friend from my old school, Jasper, obviously. And we're going to meet Edwards! Yay!"

Edward frowned from the drivers seat. He had already told me he didn't like his friends from school much. I guess he was in the 'popular' crowd, and they weren't any fun to be around. that's why he had been to exited to have Me, Alice, and Jasper move here. Maybe us four, plus Rosalie and Emmett, would become our own little group.

Edward parked, and I jumped out instantly. Me and Alice linked arms and ran into the mall, people giving us dirty looks the whole way. Jasper and Edward followed slowly behind us. We stopped at the food court, and looked around.

I spotted them sitting on a bench, talking quietly away from the crowd. I ran over to them.

"BELLA!" Rose shrieked.

"ROSALIE!" I yelled back at her.

We hugged each other tightly, her bright blue eyes shining beautifully. Her long blonde hair was just a gorgeous as ever.

"Ahem" Emmett's deep voice broke our hug. I turned around and saw my muscular bear of a friend smiling widely, with his arms open.

I threw myself into his arms, "Emmett!" I yelled, just as loud as I yelled Rosalie's name.

"Hey Bells," he chuckled.

I finally pulled away from them, and noticed that Alice was jumping up and down excitedly behind me.

"Hi! I'm Alice! I met Bella in the orphanage and then we got adopted by the same people! I know we'll be great friends!" she said so fast I could barley hear what she said. She pulled them both into a hug at the same time, and they both smiled.

Edward and Jasper walked up behind us smiling.

"This is Edward, and Jasper. I met Jasper at the orphanage too, same deal as Alice. Edward was already at our foster home when we got there." I introduced them, and they shook hands with Rose and Emmett.

"Can we shop now?!" Alice said excitedly. I looked over to Emmett, who sure enough, had a horrified expression plastered on his face. He had always shared my hate of shopping, while Rose always loved it. Of course, she was smiling, and nodding.

"We'll just stay back here and hang out." Jasper said, somehow knowing that Emmett and Edward probably didn't want to shop. He was good with things like that.

While the guys ate and talked in the food court, Alice had us running to every shop in the entire mall. Even Rosalie got tired after awhile.

"Alice, can we please take a break?" Rose was pleading. She had gotten to know Alice well in these few hours, and now they were like old pals.

"Rose! You need more clothes for forks! Its not warm like in Arizona! Believe me, I've already bought Bella lots of clothes yesterday." Even if I refused to buy something Alice wanted me too, she would just use her own credit card from Carlisle and Esme and buy it herself.

Rose sighed, and looked down at the short shorts and tank top she was wearing. It was true, she only owned summer clothing up until now.

"But Alice, you've already bought me a lot. We can buy more later. Please?" she pleaded once more.

"Fine." Alice finally gave in, and we made our way to the food court. We spotted the guys, laughing and having a good time. They looked like they had been getting along just as well too. I smiled, this was awesome.

"Hey guys." Alice smiled, as we all pulled up chairs. Alice and Jasper linked hands under the table, barely noticeable. Emmett threw his large muscular arm around Rosalie, and she leaned into him. Which left me and Edward, sitting there awkwardly.

Then it hit me. Rose and Emmett had never been together before.

I gave them a weird look, confused. They instantly knew what it meant. Emmett's laughter boomed through the entire food court, while Rosalie just blushed a little.

"We got together when you left… I guess we kind of had it coming." She said quietly. I nodded, while Emmett continued to laugh. I didn't think it was that funny.

We continued a regular conversation, until it was time to go. We all made plans to go to the fair the next day, and to meet at the Cullen's house. We have Emmett and Rosalie directions to the house, then left.

That night I laid awake in my bed for hours. I just couldn't sleep. I'd tried flipping my pillow to the cooler side, drinking milk, and countless other methods I'd heard of to help me, but none worked. I couldn't get my mind off Edward. His beautiful emerald green eyes, and messy bed head bronze hair. Angelic features, and amazing personality. He- like Alice just made friends so easily, and was so comfortable to be around. He even made it easier for the people around him to be comfortable around each other. Every time I tried to put my mind on something else, it kept slipping back to him somehow.

I had fallen for Edward Cullen.

------

At five AM, I finally decided to just get out of bed. I took extra care with getting ready, so I could take up more time.

I went into the bathroom that I shared with Alice, knowing she wouldn't be up yet. I looked in the mirror- terrible. I had bags under my eyes, and they were bloodshot from lack of sleep. My hair was major bed-head, but not the good kind like Edwards. I looked paler than usual, and I looked like I could fall asleep at any second.

I jumped into the shower, lathering my hair in my favourite strawberry shampoo, as usual. I conditioned, and shaved my legs carefully, making sure I didn't miss any spots.

I got out, wrapping my hair up in a towel on top of my hair, then dried off. Wrapping a towel around me, and walked back into me room, picked out a pair of black skinny jeans from stitches and a lime green tank top from bluenotes. Alice had picked out, and made me buy the outfit. I paired it with a pair of lime green flats that matched the tank top, and put it on.

I sat down at my vanity, looking into the mirror. The bloodshot had gone, but the bags were still there.

Carefully, I blow dried every part of my hair, making sure it was all completely dry. I heard the shower turn on again. Alice. Figures she would get up this early.

I looked on the desk part of my vanity. Esme had bought both me and Alice a supply of make-up and hair accessories, curling irons and straighteners. Even though I never bothered with these things, since I had extra time today, I decided I would.

I plugged in the straightener, and set it down. While I waited for it to heat up, I carefully applied mascara, and eyeliner. I put I small amount of cover up under my eyes, to cover the bags. I refused to wear any more than that.

I put half my hair up, and straightened that part first. I didn't know how to do this, but I had seen Rosalie do it countless times. She hated her curls.

After doing the bottom half, I let down the rest of my hair and straightened out the top. I brushed through it when I was done. It didn't look that bad.

I stood up in front of my floor length mirror. I was proud of myself, this was the first time I had actually taken the time to do this. I looked at the clock. 7:00 AM. The time I would normally get up if it were a school day.

I walked down the stairs quietly, and into the kitchen. I saw Alice sitting there, eating a bowl of cereal. How she got ready that fast, was beyond me. She truly had talent.

"Good morning!" She chirped happily, taking another spoonful of her cereal.

"Morning." I yawned, grabbing a bowl and sitting down next to her.

"Why are you up so early?" She asked, as I poured my cheerio's into the bowl and took a bite.

"Couldn't sleep." was my simple response.

She nodded, understanding.

"So I thought we'd make this trip to the fair like a date type thing. Me and Jasper, Rose and Emmett, and you and Edward."

I quickly turned my head to her, and my heart pounded. "Me and Edward aren't together." I said a little to quickly. She smirked.

"Not yet." she answered, sure of herself.

I sighed, knowing there was no way out of this.

Morning Ladies." Esme walked into the kitchen, smiling.

"Morning Esme." Me and Alice said in unison, then burst into giggles. Esme let out a small laugh, and popped some bread into the toaster.

"So whats your plan for today?" she asked casually. She wasn't pushy like a lot of parents.

"we were hoping to go to the fair, with Jasper and Edward of course. And Emmett and Rosalie." Alice informed her. we had already told her about Rose and Edward before hand. "If that's okay with you." she quickly added. We didn't want to be rude to the people who had taken us in.

"Oh of course its okay with me girls. You have fun." she smiled, and sat down across the table from us, making light, comfortable conversation. Carlisle had already gone to work around the time I had crawled out of bed.

Edward came stomping down the stairs, wearing nothing but his plaid PJ pants. I tried not to stare at his amazing stomach. He poured himself cereal, and plopped himself down at the table.

"Tired dear?" Esme laughed. Me and Alice joined in.

"Very." he grumbled. I hadn't heard him screaming all night, so he hadn't had any more nightmares. Maybe he was awake all night as well.

Esme laughed again, and he continued to eat his cereal.

Esme got up and went upstairs to get ready for her day, leaving me, Alice, and Edward by ourselves.

"By the way, Bella, you look very nice today. Im proud." she smiled, approvingly.

"Thanks." I murmured awkwardly. I was never one for compliments, right now my face probably had a deep crimson red on it.

"Beautiful." Edward mumbled in a correcting tone that no one was supposed to hear. Apparently, Alice didn't. this made my blush even more.

Jasper came down the stairs soon after, fully dressed. "Morning Jazzy!" Alice chirped at him, jumping up to hug him. He smiled and hugged her back.

"We're leaving soon Edward go get ready! And your going with Bella because you two are the only two not together." she demanded.

"Alice, Rose and Emmett are coming at 10. Its only 8..." he tried to convince her, but she cut him off.

"GO!" she yelled, and he scurried up the stairs. Alice was small, but she sure was scary.

"For someone so small, your very annoying." we heard him say half way up the stairs. She giggled, and made her way to the living room, flopping on the couch. Jasper sat beside her, and I sat on the love seat.

When Edward came back down, all four of us sat and watched the morning cartoons. We made fun of how they weren't as good as they were when we were little kids, until Emmett and Rose showed up. We all climbed into the back of Em's jeep, and made our way to the fair.
