Hi :D SO, sorry this has taken so long, but we were like major-ly busy. Thank-you for all the birthday wishes! I got home the afternoon of my birthday to an overflowing inbox, which was pretty cool, although I havn't quite forgiven Lucy just yet... I got a greeeen nano-chromatic, and it's awesome, I used to have the first gen. nano, except I might have sort of broken off the hold button... :$

Anyway, enjoy!

Love, Em x

Edward

My alarm buzzed loudly, and I rolled over onto my stomach, pulling the pillow over my head.

The alarm got louder.

Ughh.

I reached out and smacked the top hard, and it fell onto the floor, but unfortunately didn't shut up. I groaned and sat up, holding the covers around me to protect myself from the cold.

Why had I had wooden floors fitted?

I picked up the clock and switched it off, placing it back on the side table warily.

I pulled out the book from under my bed and checked the days step:

17 - Eye contact.

When you talk to her, if you really want her to know your listening then keep your eyes on hers, nothing says 'I'm bored' like wandering eyes.

I sighed and headed into the shower. This whole thing was getting a bit stupid.

I mean, Rose and Emmett were practically shacked up these days, did I need to carry on with the bet?

But the book was working so well, and as much as it annoyed me to admit it, I was starting to really like Bella.

In more than a 'God I want to fuck you' kind of sense. Although there was that too… But I mean, I'd agreed to go fishing for her. With her Dad. The chief of Seattle fucking police department.

I thought back to her in those tiny shorts on Sunday night and the make out session that followed on the drier and I felt myself start to harden…

I tried to think about my grandma and my Biology homework. But it was too late.

I sighed, turned the shower up higher and reached down to grip myself tightly.

Bella

I got out of the car at school and stomped away from Jasper without another word.

His attitude towards Edward was seriously grating on my nerves, and if he didn't just get over it, I was going to get seriously annoyed.

I walked quickly into school, catching up with Tanya and Kate who were just going into the main entrance.

"Hey girls," I greeted them with a sigh.

"Morning Bella." Tanya smiled.

"Oh, hi Bella." Kate said, "I need to go…er… talk to Mr Banner. About some homework. I'll be er.. right back."

Then sped off in the opposite direction of Biology.

I looked at Tanya confused, but she just shrugged, "I have no idea. So Bella… how's things with Edward?"

I looked up, "How do you know about that?"

She just grinned, "I know everything. Besides, he told me."

What?!

"He told you? But I thought you guys didn't speak after the whole Irina incident?" I asked shocked.

"Eh. That was ages ago. I got over it. Don't tell Kate or Rose that of course. But really, it's silly. But don't worry, I'm not screwing him or anything, I suppose I'm more like his… go to girl when he's having issues, you know?"

She nodded.

"Well… I shouldn't really tell you this, but fuck it, my loyalty is with you not him. He called me up a while back now, just asking about you… I think he really likes you…" She told me.

I gulped, not daring to believe it.

"You think so?"

"I'm pretty sure. But then you know how fickle he can be… I'll try and do some more digging. Until then, just… be careful."

We went our separate ways as I headed into the library to try and finish my Trig homework which I'd neglected at the weekend.

I was sat in the far corner with my back to the wall and a view all the way along the tables to the door when I saw Edward and Emmett walk in.

He noticed me, but didn't come this way. Instead they sat at the other end of the room, Emmett facing away from me, and Edward directly opposite me.

There were about fifteen empty tables between us, but even all this way away I could feel his eyes on me as soon as he sat down.

I pulled my iPod from my bag and stuck the headphones in and looked down, trying to concentrate on the page.

It wasn't working.

I glanced up casually, to see that he was still staring at me intensely.

I met his gaze again. But this time, I didn't look away. I held his stare with one of my own.

To anyone else, it would have looked like an immature little staring contest, but it was far from that.

I just didn't want to tear my eyes away from him.

Rosalie

I'd had to go home after dinner last night at Emmett's, and it was depressing as hell.

My dad was lying on the couch watching Frasier re-runs and drinking beer out of the bottle.

I had just sighed and walked straight past to my room.

Of course, my mood had brightened considerably as Emmett arrived to pick me up from school the next morning.

Apparently he'd ditched Edward at the last minute, which I probably should have thought was rude, but I couldn't help but smile as he told me.

We pulled up outside of school, and he opened the car door for me, then pulled me into a tight hug, "I'll see you later Rosie…"

I grinned all the way to my first class, and took my seat next to Bella, who was looking equally dreamy, and I didn't even care that it was Edward Cullen that had put that look on her face.

I was too happy to care.

Review please! Sorry it was short!
