Chapter 1: Getting Ready for Your First Party Bella

Bella's POV
I couldn't believe that I've only been a freshman at Forks High now for 2 months. In that time I met this cool guy named Jamal. He's in almost all of my classes.

Flashback

Lunch

"Hey Bella wait up." I heard Jamal call to me.

"Hey Jamal what's up?" I asked as he caught up with me.

"I was wondering if you had anything planned this Saturday. I mean I know that it's short notice and that tomorrow is Saturday and all but I thought that you and I could go to this cool party that I was invited to." He asked me in this really sweet voice.

"Well I don't see why not since you asked me earlier if you could take me to dinner on Saturday already and my parents had already said yes. So I don't see a problem with it."

"Awsome!" he cheered with excitement.

"Um what time will you be picking me up?"

"Um around 8. Is that okay with you?"

"Yeah. I'll see you then." I said as I walked over to where my family was sitting.

End of flashback

"Bella come here. Its time to get you ready for tonight." I heard Alice call to me.

"Um Edward… is she going to go overboard with me?" I asked hoping that he could hear what Alice was thinking.

"I don't know. I'm not really trying to listen to her." Edward said as he left the room.

"What's his problem?" I asked Pillow and Teddy.

"He's just a little jealous." Pillow remarked with a smirk on his face.

"Jealous? Of what? He's been treating me like this for three years now. Did I do something wrong?"

"No Bells. Its not you its him." Jasper added as he embraced me in a warm hug.

"ISABELLA SWAN CULLEN GET YOUR ASS UP HERE RIGHT NOW!" Alice ordered me with frustration.

"I'm coming." I called as I headed up the stairs. When I entered my bedroom I saw Alice and Rosalie going through my clothing. "Um what are you two doing?" I asked.

"Getting your outfit ready. Now go take a shower while we get your outfit." Alice said as she shooed me out of my own room. And off I went to take my shower getting nervous by the minute of my date that will happen in 4 hours.

Alice's POV

"God Rose she has nothing appropriate to wear tonight. Do you think that she could borrow one of your outfits?" I asked feeling aggravated at myself for not buying Bella better outfits.

"Um sure. But Alice please don't go to over the top."

"Rose I won't. I promise. Its not like she's 18." I said as I headed towards Rose and Emmett's bedroom.

Bella's POV

25 minutes later.

"Alice, Rosalie I'm done." I called to them. Within seconds Alice and Rose were right infront of me.

"Ok Bella time for hair and makeup." Alice said with enthusiasm. "Rose you do her hair. You know how I want it and I'll do her makeup."

With that Alice and Rose started on my hair and make up, which took them both about an hour and a half to do. God I hate Bella Barbie.

Edward's POV

8pm

"Edward can you get the door? Its Bella's date." I heard Carlisle call to me.

"Sure." I said as I walked up to the door and opened it.

"Hey. You must be Edward right?" Jamal asked me while he extended his right hand towards me.

"Yeah. And you are Jamal?" I asked acting like I didn't know who he was.

"Yep that's me. Is Bella ready?" He asked with a little too much enthusiasim.

"Um not yet. My dad would actually like to talk to you first." I said as I escorted him to the living room where Esme, Carlisle, Emmett, and Jasper were all sitting.

As he sat down across from Carlisle, I heard Carlisle lecture him and tell him that he had better take good care of Bella and so on. But I didn't really pay attention to that I was to busy listening to his thoughts.

"Only a couple more minutes and she will be mine. God I can't wait till we're at Lauren's party. I wonder if Bella will go all the way. Oh well if she does great if not well that won't matter. I mean she's all mine tonight."

Without realizing it I let out a really low growl. 'That bastard.' I thought as I continued to listen to his horrid thoughts about Bella.

"Edward you ok?" I heard Jasper asked me through his thoughts. "Not only did you just growl but your emotions are off the roof."

As I shook my head I left to get something out of my room.

Jamal's POV

As I listened to Bella's father tell me what I could or could not do, I didn't pay attention to any of it. I knew that by the end of the night that Bella Cullen would be mine.

Bella's POV
"Okay Bella your all set." Alice said with pride.

"Bells you look amazing." Rosalie said in aw.

"Lets go show you off." Alice said as she and Rose lead me out of my room and down the hall towards the stairs.

As we started down the stairs I saw Teddy, Pillow, dad, mom, and Jamal stare at me with shock. Though Jamal's look was that of shock and approval. As I got on my coat and hugged and kissed my family good bye, I heard someone call my name from behind.

When I turned I saw Edward standing there. His face went from fear to that of what I could have sworn was that of love. "Um… Bella… could I talk to you real quick before you leave?" he asked.

"Sure." I walked over to him and then asked, "What's up?"

"Here take this." He said as he handed me a cellphone.

"What's this for?" I asked in total confusion.

"If you want to leave the party early, or if you get into any trouble then call or text one of us. I programed all of our numbers for you."

"Ok. Um… thanks." I said in shock. 'What's going on with Edward?' I asked myself in total confusion.

"Its not a problem. See you when you get home." He said as he pulled me into an embrace which felt like more then a brotherly hug.

Edward's POV

"Bella." I called to her. With her back to me I had the feeling that Alice and Rose went overboard with her hair and most likely with her makeup as well. When she turned around I knew that if I had any breath that all of it would have left my body. Not only that but that my heart would have sped up if it was still beating. My god she was gorgeous. "Um… Bella… could I talk to you real quick before you leave?"

"Sure." She said as she headed towards me. "What's up?"

"Here take this." I said in a low voice that only she could hear as I handed her a cellphone.

"What's this for?" she asked me in total confusion.

"If you want to leave the party early, or if you get into any trouble then call or text one of us. I programed all of our numbers for you."

"Ok. Um… thanks." She said with shock as she took the cellphone that I was handing her.

"Its not a problem. See you when you get home." I said as I pulled her into and embrace. God I wish that I could tell her how I felt.

As she and Jamal left the house all I could hope was that I was wrong about him and that he wouldn't hurt her.
