Disclaimer - Sadly I don't own anything.

Okay this is the first half of the party. My best friend Shannon (who is also my beta, is on vacation.) So I had to check it over myself. Please review and no flames!

By the way…all of the outfits (Bella, Edward and Katie's) are on my profile.

Chapter 6 - The Party (Part 1)

Let's just put it this way. This is the worst car ride. Ever. Not that I hate Edward as a person, I hate how gorgeous he looks. I hate that I am attracted to him in ways I didn't even think were possible. And I hate that I have a date tonight with Jacob and not Edward. Woah, I really need to stop thinking about dating Edward and doing unholy things with him. The boy probably has an equally beautiful girlfriend and they're probably madly in love with each other.

Just like Alice could read my mind at that moment, she asked Edward, "so Edward, have any girlfriends at the moment?" I could feel him fidgeting next to me.

"Uh, actually no. I'm not really interested in anyone in Chicago. They're all materialistic idiots. All they do is follow trends, it's absurd." His silky voice replied. Oh God, he smells…so freaking good. He smells like Abercrombie and Fitch and the beach mixed together (A/N: I TELL YOU I AM OBSESSED. I need help…) and it is so tempting.

Jasper then interrupted my thoughts about ripping Edward's clothes off. "Huh, I know what you mean Edward. Alice here is a tad bit obsessed with labels as well," he said jokingly. Alice punched him in the upper arm. "Ow!" Jasper yelped as Edward and I chucked from the back seat.

We were finally pulling into the Cullen's driveway. Thank God, I thought, now I can get out of here alive. Barely.

We were just walking in the house when Jasper and Alice ran up to her room while giggling. "Bella! Will you please show Edward where his bedroom is? Me and Jazz are pretty…tied up…with things…up here." More giggling.

"Do I even want to know what kind of things Alice and Jasper are 'tied up' with?" Edward asked with his eyebrows raised. So cute…

"Probably not," I answered. "Follow me, I'll show you where your bedroom is." I jogged up the stairs with Edward close behind me. I walked right up to the door across from the top of the stair case, and opened the door to reveal Edward's room for the summer. "This would be your room, and it's got a shower. Which is pretty cool."

He looked stunned as he walked into the room and settled his duffle bag the black couch. "Wow," he breathed taking a look around the room. "This has a great view." Great view, that's one way to put it. The back wall was all glass and it overlooked the river and the green pine trees outside. Also Esme's garden. The view was freaking spectacular. "So Bella, what time does the party start tonight?" He asked ripping his trance from the display outside. His piercing green eyes were observing me.

"Around 7, I think. And knowing everyone that goes to my school, it won't be over until, like, 4 in the morning." I said tripping over my words. I flushed a bright pink whenever I was in Edward's sight. "Uh, I'm um going to leave you to get settled and go find Rose and Em." I said while hurrying out of the room. Clumsily letting the door bump me on my bent head. I let out an "ouch!" and heard Edward chuckling from the other side of the door.

By the time 7:30 rolled around, it seemed like everyone from Albany High School was inside the Cullen's house partying. I looked over to my right, and saw Edward padding down the stairs, his hair a tousled perfect mess, wearing a form-fitting blue, plaid shirt that was rolled up to his elbows and destroyed jeans. He really was a god. His head turned and he caught me ogling at him, then he made his way over to me. Let's just say I was pretty close to hyperventilating.

"Good party, huh?" He asked while smiling at me. "American Boy" by Estelle started pumping through the stereo and people all around us started to dance.

"Yeah, Alice and Rose were really excited while planning it. They were waiting to throw it for a couple weeks now." I replied while taking a look around the fantastic room. Alice and Rose really did work hard and it showed. The ceiling was covered in streamers and they found the biggest possible stereo system available…it took up one whole wall in the room. Of course they found the best liquor around, due to their impeccable fake ID's.

"It shows. They did a fantastic job. So, you want to go get a drink?" Edward put is hand out as I nodded my head and reached back for his hand. As our hands touched, it felt as if electricity was flowing through my blood stream and I shivered from his delicate touch. What's one drink going to do? Besides I'm here with the most gorgeous boy on the planet. "Uh, what do you want?" Edward asked with his back to me looking in the fridge.

"Surprise me." I said. I honestly didn't know where all this confidence was coming from. I guess Rosalie and Alice were starting to rub off on me. Edward was handing me a raspberry Smirnoff when he asked me if I had a boyfriend.

"I…Uh…I…" I was stuttering. Up until that point I had completely forgot about Jacob and how we had a date tonight. At the party. Where Edward was. Then it was as if Jacob could read my mind, he came up and draped an arm over my shoulders.

"Sorry, man. But, this beautiful lady here, is taken." He smirked at Edward, then turned his head and smiled at me. "Hey, Bells. I just got here and I was trying to find you."

I took a quick glance at Edward and gave him an apologetic smile. "Hey Jake!" I said soundly excited. "I'm glad you could make it. This is Alice and Emmett's cousin, Edward." I introduced the two guys. "Edward, this is my friend Jacob."

They shook hands, that looked regrettable, then Jacob spoke. "Hey man, it's good to meet you. Do you mind if I steal Bella here for a dance?" Jake said grabbing my hand, and walking away with me before Edward could reply. I turned back around to look at Edward again, but he was gone. I heard the familiar beat of "Gold Digger" by Kanye West coming out of the speakers.

Jacob led us over to the middle of the dance floor while he put one hand around my waist. I always loved this song, so I managed to get out of Jacob's strong grip and was dancing freely in front of him. I was dancing around when I felt his arm snake his way around my lower abdomen and pull my back to his chest.

"Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger (When I'm in need)But she ain't messin' with no broke nGet down girl go head get down (I gotta leave)Get down girl go head get down (I gotta leave)Get down girl go head get down (I gotta leave)Get down girl gone head"

Not only was one of Jacob's arms wrapped around my hips, but it was now both of them. And we were moving together to the music. I pulled both of my arms up around the back of his neck and trust me, he seemed to like that because he pulled me even closer to him. Although I thought that it was impossible.

"God Bella, you are an amazing dancer." He whispered low and huskily in my right ear. By this time I wasn't even acknowledging the music that was throbbing through my body. I was just moving freely and for some reason I was closing my eyes. But in my head, it wasn't Jacob I was dancing with.

It was Edward.--

EPOV!

I could hear "Mercy" by Duffy pulsating (A/N: I put that in there for you Shan.) through the stereo downstairs. I was up in my room buttoning up a blue plaid shirt thinking that I should start heading downstairs to the party. Only to spend time with about 100 people that I've never even seen before, never mind their names. I was walking down the stairs when I saw Alice's best friend, Bella. She looked absolutely fantastic. She was wearing a low-cut peach halter top with dark blue skinny jeans and peach heels to match her incredible top. She looked absolutely down-right, hot. I knew the moment that I saw her in the airport, she was going to torture me. I caught her staring at me too, so I smiled and decided to head over to her.

"Good party, huh?" I asked while taking in her beauty once again. She smiled as she took a look around the room. I didn't. I couldn't take my eyes off her.

"Yeah, Alice and Rose were really excited while planning it. They were waiting to throw it for a couple weeks now." She answered as she smiled at me.

I asked her if she wanted to get a drink and was relieved when she smiled and nodded her head as I took her hand in mine. When I reached for her hand I felt an electric current flow through my body. I couldn't help my self but to smile. I was here with the most beautiful girl in this whole town. As I was leaning over into the fridge I asked her what she wanted to drink.

"Surprise me." She replied with confidence. So, I grabbed the most girly drink in the fridge, a raspberry Smirnoff, while I grabbed a Heineken for me.

As I handed her the drink I became curious. "Do you have a boyfriend?" I questioned.

I knew she had a boyfriend when she started stuttering. It seemed like she was unable to make up her mind. Then a guy, not exactly as tall as me, with dark brown hair came up next to her and draped his arm around her while glaring at me.

"Sorry man, but this beautiful lady here, is taken." He said while smirking at me. Then he turned to Bella, who was on his left and started talking to her. "Hey Bells," he said, "I just got here and I was looking for you."

As Bella looked up at him I could tell that she was excited to see him. "Hey Jake!" She said with a smile. Then she turned to me and introduced me to him, whose name happened to be Jacob. I was glaring at him the whole time I was shaking his hand. I didn't even know why I was acting jealous. I mean, I haven't even known Bella for a day yet and I'm already getting territorial with her. But still, something about this guy was off.

"Hey man, it's good to meet you. Do you mind if I steal Bella here for a dance?" He asked, but never gave me the chance to answer.

As the two walked off I felt someone slide into place next to me. I looked over. Alice. "So Edward," she started, "I see you've met Jacob."

"Yeah," I said still eyeing the two on the dance floor. She was facing him and both of his arms were around her waist. Then she broke free of his grip and started dancing freely on her own. I couldn't help but chuckle at Jacob's reaction. He seemed sort of, flabbergasted. "He seems…okay."

"Oh Edward, don't be a party pooper! Bella has been dreaming about this night with him for a whole week. Any how, it's not like she's your girlfriend." True, but I sure would like her to be, I thought.

As I turned my attention back towards the dance floor I saw Bella grinding with Jacob, his arms tightly around her hips and her arms back round his neck. I felt a slight pang of jealously, wishing that it could be me dancing with her. Especially because she looked so blissful in that moment, with her eyes closed.

I turned back to Alice. "True, but it's not like she's his girlfriend either." She looked at me really closely. Then she smiled and rolled her eyes. Then she walked away.

I decided that I couldn't keep watching Bella dancing with Jacob. It was making me sick inside. So I started walking around the rest of the party. It wasn't soon until I ran into an Asian girl who was about 5'6" with black hair. She was very pretty.

"Hey," she said, smiling. "I noticed that you don't got to AHS. I'm Katie." She informed me as she extended her hand out to shake mine. Katie's navy blue striped dress and anchor necklace looked great on her.

"Hello," I breathed. "My name is Edward Cullen."

"Oh! So you're related to Alice and Emmett?" She asked curiously.

"Yeah, I'm their cousin." I replied.

She eyed me up and down and smiled. "That's cool. Do you want to dance with me?" She asked.

"Sure," I replied. This girl seemed like a nice enough girl to dance with. No other than Katy Perry's "I Kissed A Girl" came on just as we started dancing.

"Ooh, I love this song." She cooed in my ear. Katie and I were just dancing freely, not moving with each other like Jacob had Bella moving.

By the time the song ended I was wicked thirsty, so I leaned over near Katie's ear and asked her if she wanted to get a drink with me. She nodded and we started heading back over to the kitchen. Then, right out of the blue we heard a big bang. A loud crash, and then a girl's voice that was screaming "OH MY GOD! YOU ARE SUCH AN ASS!"

Those of you who know me personally, probably know who Katie is. She asked to be put in the story, although the character acts nothing like the real girl. Haha.

And if you didn't read it up top, I have the outfits on my profile.
