A/N: I have to admit. It's a pain in the butt to type up chapters about Jacob. Only because I love Edward like 10,000 times more.

Chapter 4 - Party Planning and an Unexpected Date

I awoke to the birds chirping outside of Alice's bedroom window. Yawning, I looked over at the clock on the side table. Yupp, there it was those three red mocking numbers blinking at me telling me that I woke up late, yet again. I don't know why Alice didn't wake me up though. Racing down the Cullen's steps to get downstairs I saw Alice and Rose each eating a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch at the table.

"Why good morning Bella!" Alice said, already in her hyper mode. She was wearing a pink halter top and dark blue jean Capri's. Even at 8 in the morning Alice could pull off perfection. Rosalie was sitting next to Alice at the table looking at the sports section in the news paper. She was wearing a dark purple sun dress with her sunglasses already placed on her head.

"Okay guys, what's going on in here?" I asked.

Rose looked up from her newspaper, her attention being drawn from the baseball stats I presume, and focused on me. "We're skipping school today," she started, "because we're going to start planning for out party! Anyhow, we thought it'd be nice to get you away from Jacob."

Images of Jacob flooded through my mind. "Ugh! I can't believe I flaked out again on him! I really have problems." I said while hiding my head under my arms while I rested my upper body on the kitchen counter.

"It's alright Bella! Jacob just think you have bladder problems now, that's all." Alice said attempting to make me feel better while sauntering over to me. "We'll just invite him to the party, which he'll come without a doubt, and soon you guys will be going steady!" She giggled while she put air-quotes when saying "going steady."

"Oh Bella, don't get so flustered," Rose said smiling. "If Jacob decides to not ask you out because you come up with lame excuses because you get embarrassed around him, then I will have Emmett go pee on him." (A/N: that'd be kind of funny. Just picture that. Hahaha….)

"You always know how to cheer me up, Rose." I said laughing about the image of Emmett actually peeing on Jacob.

"Okay girls, let's go get Bella ready so we can go out party planning." Alice said while floating up her stairs to her room. Rose looked over at me and gave me a sympathetic look, while trying to cover up a growing smirk on her face. She knows how much I hate going through their little make-overs on me.

Groaning I decided I should just get it over with now. Because God knows that if I didn't move that instant, Alice and Rose would probably drag me up those stairs just to get me into the bathroom.

After about 2 hours of pure and utter torture, Alice and Rose finally decided to free me from my anxiety. When I finally looked in the mirror, I was amazed, as always. My normally straight and bland chestnut brown hair was transformed into large, lazy curls that cascaded down. I had on a pale shade of pink lip gloss and they curled my eyelashes up to make them sexy and smoky. To top it all off, they actually forced me into something 'acceptable' in Alice-and-Rosalie-land. I ended up putting on a royal blue tee shirt that was a v-neck and matched it up with a denim mini skirt. Lastly, they strained me to wear black pumps with it.

"Jeeze guys," I breathlessly said. "You two really know your fashion." There was no doubt about that one. They made me look almost as good as runway model good. These two were amazing.

"Of course we do Bells," Rose stated like it was the most obvious thing in the world, which it kind of was.

"But, do I really need to get this dressed up for party planning and shopping?" I asked. Honestly, this was a little over board for Alice and Rose to just go party planning.

"Uh, yeah, Bella don't worry about it. You look fantastic." Alice said looking a little frantic while shooting Rose a nervous look. Soon she just wiped the look of her face and if you blinked, you would've missed it. She's good, I thought to myself.

There's always a catch to Rose and Alice. That's the thing. I should've known that when they said going shopping for party supplies, there was a hidden meaning in there. That hidden meaning just so happened to be clothes. Honestly, I am not even surprised.

Walking down the mall with about 10 shopping bags, for me alone, I couldn't help but think about what a loser I was around Jacob yesterday. He must really think I'm a dork. My mind was drifting off to someplace else while we were walking towards the car in the parking lot, when it hit me. And I mean, it really hit me. A cell phone just happened to bounce off of me and crack on the ground.

"Woah! What the hell was that!?" I asked, startled. Alice and Rose were cracking up.

That's when I saw him jogging towards me. Jacob Black jogging towards me. Jacob Black looking absolutely fantastic in a fitted black tee shirt and dark blue jeans with grease stains on them. Jacob Black, the one person in the world who I didn't want to see at the moment. I swear, if I said I had to pee again, I'm going to smack myself right in front of him.

"Sorry Bella," he said. My name rolling off his tongue (A/N: honestly, that is the weirdest freaking word to spell. Like ever). Giving me the most smoldering smirk-smile he continued. "My friend Bennett over there enjoys throwing my cell phone at beautiful girls. It's his favorite pastime."

Blushing like crazy I looked over at Bennett. He was tall and on the thinner side. But, had muscle. He had light wispy brown hair that flung out at the ends. He was overall a cute guy. But not as good as Jacob.

No more peeing, Bella! I thought. Laughing I replied, "it's okay. Although I think your cell phone isn't."

Both of us looking down at it Jacob grimaced. "Looks like I'll have to get another one. But Bennett is paying for it. Aren't you buddy?" He said turning and yelling at Bennett. In reply, Bennett just laughed and nodded. "So Bella," Jacob started, "I heard you, Rose and Alice are throwing a little end of the year shin-dig next week."

"Yup. They decided that we should take a day off from school to get all of the supplies. Although school ends in 2 days. They're weird like that." I was rambling on. "But, your invited of course." I said with a picture-perfect smile.

"Good." He replied. God he was so adorable when he smiled… "Hey Bells," he said shoving his hands in his pockets and swaying back and forth. "Would you, uh, want to go with me. Like I mean I know you're throwing it and everything. But, would you be my, uh, date?" he asked looking so flawlessly innocent and…nervous? Jacob Black asking me out and being nervous about it?

Grinning from ear to ear I managed to squeak out "of course."

Getting his confidence back again, Jacob smiled and said as smooth as ever, "alright Bella. I'll catch you later." while winking at me and then walking away.

After Jacob left, I heard Rose and Alice running over to me.

"OHMIGOD BELLA! DID HE ASK YOU OUT?" Alice said practically screaming her lungs out and bouncing up and down.

"Yes!" I exclaimed. "He asked me to be his date for the party that we're having."

Rose was smiling while she gave me a hug while Alice was as giddy as ever. "Oh Bella! We're going to have to get you a new outfit for the party." She said grabbing my hand and leading me back into the mall.

"But Alice! I just bought almost 20 new things!" I protested.

Shooting around Alice was pointing a finger my way. "Bella, Bella, Bella. We want you to look sexy. But not like a whore. We want you to look beautiful, but not childish. Now you better follow me back into that mall with no complaints."

Scared out of my mind, I mindlessly nodded my head and followed. Alice can be deathly scary for such a small person. So scary…but so small… I've been feeling a lot like Emmett these past few days. Always confused.

A/N: Okay if you're one of the people that goes to the same school as me, Bennett's name was originally Andrew. But Shannon made me change it to Ben. Then the description matched Bennett's so we just changed it to Bennett.
