"Bella, you shouldn't let this get to you." I patted Bella's head and looked around wondering where Rosalie was. I wasn't good at this. I've never had close friends or a boyfriend….come to think about it, this is the first time I've really been around people.

"I know but I can't help it, I don't even know why I'm so upset."

"Well, for starter's, your date got crashed by some idiots, a girl you've never done anything to you is being a bitch and you have no idea how you feel about Edward." Bella stopped her crying for a moment and looked up at me.

"Yea that's basically why." I smiled.

"Here's what I think you should do. Call Edward up and see if he wants to do something later since your date earlier went completely haywire."

"Are you crazy? I let Rose talk me into the whole date thing and look how that turned out?" I flinched away from her slightly and nodded.

"Of course. I'm sorry I just thought maybe if it was on better terms…never mind. I shouldn't have said anything." Bella sighed and leaned her head on my shoulder.

"I'm sorry. That was mean; I didn't mean it the way it came out."

"It's okay. You've had a rough day." She just twiddled her thumbs. "So, um…from the sound of it, you didn't get any food. Are you hungry?"

"Oh yea. I am starved. Haha. Do you have anything?"

"Mhmm. Let's see," I went over to the kitchen and rummaged through the fridge before I found some pot roast I had made earlier. "You like pot roast?" I called.

"Yea, thanks." I heard her get up and come into the kitchen. "You know Joan, you are amazing. Really, I think you're great. How come we've never seen you around that much?" I blushed as I put the food in the microwave.

"Well, as you can see I'm kind of plain and…yea I don't know. I tend to keep to myself. I tried being outgoing and everything but it didn't work out so well…I only reason I was with Rose was because I had talked to her before and had nothing to do. This was all sort of spur of the moment."

"Oh. Ok then. What happened?" It took me a minute to figure out what she meant.

"With being outgoing? I'd rather not talk about it if that's okay."

"Of course that's fine. Sorry if I seemed pushy." I laughed.

"No you didn't seem pushy." A knock at the door distracted me and I went over to open the door. Standing there with an impatient look on her face was Rosalie.

"HI!!! Where's Bella? How'd the date go? Is she even here?" Rosalie hugged me quickly then barged in still asking questions and rambling. "…I can't believe she hung up on me? Can you? I mean I was just trying to—BELLA! How'd it go tell me EVERYTHING!!! Yummy, what smells good?" Bella hugged Rose and laughed.

"That smell would be my dinner which is almost done so move."

"Dinner? What? I thought you went out for pizza."

"Yea, but me and Edward were so busy talking and everything we completely forgot about it. It got cold so he got it to go and took it home. I'm meeting him again tonight." I smiled and coked my head, raising an eyebrow.

"Really?" I said. "That's great."

"I know. I'm kind of excited." She gave me a wink behind Rose's back. Rosalie threw her coat over a chair and sat in it placing her purse on the table.

"What did you guys talk about?"

"Everything and anything. It was fun. He's an interesting guy."

"See? What did I tell you? What are you wearing when you go out again tonight?"

"Uh…this?" Rose looked taken aback.

"You're joking right?" Bella's face suddenly turned bright red.

"Well, I mean yea because it's just a waste to wear another outfit…" She trailed off. "Right?" Rosalie just shook her head.

"Sweet heart you have so much to learn."

"Actually," A voice near one of the bedrooms startled us all and Alice walked out and leaned against the wall. "She'll look fine. You guys will be going out for coffee or something like that right?" Bella smiled and nodded her head. "Ok then, that's fine." I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"Are you feeling okay Alice? Sorry if we woke you."

"I'm doing fine, thanks for asking. I was already up, but I am going back to sleep so goodnight."

"Night." She turned back into her room and closed the door lightly.

"Well, now that that's settled, what time are you leaving?" Bella was almost done eating. The fork was half way to her mouth when she stopped and glanced at her watch. Her eyes widened and she finished up quickly.

"Actually, now. Thanks for the food. It was really good."

"Oh well good luck. Bye. When you come back tell me everything okay?" Bella just nodded her head and headed out the door. I gave her a questioning look and she just widened her eyes a bit.

"Bye, Isabella. See you later." And she was out the door. I sat down and switched the T.V. on. Rosalie came to sit down next to me. She stared at me for a while before saying something.

"When did you start cooking here?" I blushed and hesitated.

"Well now that you've brought it up…"
