Edward startles her out of her thoughts, sitting down next to her and flicking a page of the magazine on Bella's lap. "Didn't know you were a big Seventeen reader, B," he grins.

"What?" she asks, and then looks down at the lurid pink cover. Shit. "Oh, uh. Yeah. Well, I have to keep up with all my teen heartthrobs somehow, you know." She flips it closed. "And the quizzes are so relevant. Apparently that hottie sitting behind me in social studies has totally been checking me out."

"Oh my God," he squeals like a girl. "You should slip a note in his locker to find out if he likes you."

"Well, first I have to tell my BFF everything," she corrects in a giddy high pitched voice. "And maybe have a sleepover and buy a cute new shirt. But then, yes."

"Wait, I'm not your BFF?" he pouts. "I'm still invited to the sleepover, right?"

"Only if you bring A Walk to Remember and let me give you a makeover."

Edward cracks up at that. "God, my sister loves that movie, but I can't watch it without laughing my ass off, which kind of ruins the parts where you're supposed to be all sad that Mandy Moore is dying and stuff." He grins. "And you're already giving me a makeover, remember?" He shakes his head, which makes his hair fly around.

"Oh, yeah. Hey, it looks good," Bella says, tilting her head to see the back.

"It's awesome!" Edward says, pushing his bangs off his face. "Sherry did something totally amazing that made it not so all over the place, and she put this stuff in that made it really soft." He leans toward Bella. "Feel."

"Uh, that's okay," she waves him off, but Edward grabs her hand and plants it on his head, and she can't help it, she lets her fingers sink in and stroke along Edward's head. He's right, it's soft and silky, and Bella feels something warm curl in her stomach when her fingers catch in the slight curls at the back of his neck, bringing their faces closer together.

Edward just grins, though, bright and friendly, and Bella reminds herself that she's not actually a seventeen-year-old girl, and she doesn't have a crush on Edward. She's just observing, impersonally and objectively, that Edward has really nice, really soft hair that feels good under her hands.

That's all.

Edward goes up to pay for his haircut, and Bella groans.

She needs help.
