Bella Swan/just met her new BFF

A huge guy, who can only be Emmett, pokes his head into my room and then shuffles back across the hall.

"Hot curvy chick with a fucked-up leg?"

Thanks for the ego boost, you big lug.

"Yup. Tell her I think she's smokin' hot."

Emmett chuckles.

"Boy, you're going to regret this tomorrow."

With a goofy grin, Emmett knocks on my open door, and I gesture for him to enter.

"I've been told to tell you that you are 'smokin' hot'."

"I'm apparently the hot curvy chick with a fucked-up leg too, huh?" I smirk.

He doesn't apologize or anything.

This guy is totally the boy version of me.

I think I love him in a completely platonic way.

Especially when he sits at my feet like he's known me for years.

"My friend is a little stoned on morphine right now, so bare with him, please."

I tap my chin.

"Fine. You can tell him that I think he's pretty good looking."
