After I took a shower, Alice put some type of hair product in my hair that made my wavy hair into bouncy curls. It was almost 7 now and I had just got done getting ready. I hear a knock on my door.

"Bella are you ready?" Alice said on the other side of the door.

I grab my keys and throw them in a purse she had let me borrow and open the door. Alice looked as if she had just walked of a Vogue magazine. She was wearing a dress that came a few inches above her knee, it was lace material and had short sleeves. It was black and a tiny blue belt that was wrap around her waist she had also black leggings and high heels. Her short bob hair do was flipped out.

I say, "Alice you look great."

Alice smiles and says, "Well so do you." She looks at her watch and then yells.

"Rose are you ready, yet?"

Rose then comes out the door she is wearing a pink silky dress that has a deep neck line showing off a lot of cleavage. Her long blond hair was style like a 20s movie star.

We three then leave and head to the party. I felt awkward walking the two of them. I felt like a plain peasant walking with royalty. I did not fit in. Alice chatted the whole way and I listened, Rosalie was too concern with texting on her phone.

Finally we arrived and Alice grabs my hand, "I want you to meet Jasper!"

She leads me over to a guy with blond curly hair and piercing blue eyes. Alice runs up and gives him a peck on the lips and she gives me a dazzling smile, "This is my boyfriend Jasper."

Then she looks at Jasper, "And baby this is my roommate Bella."

Jasper holds out his hand and says in southern accent, "Nice to meet you Bella. I have heard a lot about you."

I shake his hand and say, "And I have also heard a lot about you."

He jokes, "Hopefully not all bad."

Alice playfully hits him on the shoulder,

They laugh at one another, I could see instantly what attracts her to Jasper, he is very charming. I wonder why he seems to have a southern accent and his twin Rosalie did not.

Alice says, "Well Jasper and I are about to get something drink. Would you like anything?"

I shake my head, "No I am fine. You two go on, don't worry about me."

Alice gives me a hug and whispers, "If you get something to drink do not lay it down, there are some pervs in here that will put something in it…"

She and Jasper then goes through the crowd.

I look around and wonder who had decorated. The building you could tell was very old and kind of run down, but it was clean and had colorful lights streamed around the building and just very well decorated. I wondered who actually decorated it…

I also wonder why the building seems to still have electricity, if it had been abandon. It also seems to be well heated, which I thankful for because this cardigan was a little thin and it has been getting a lot colder during the nights.

I see Angela and Jessica with the rest of the gang standing together so I make my way over there.

Angela's eyes got wide when she saw me, "Wow Bella you look amazing."

Jessica nods agreeing with Angela. Which only made the boys start to stare too; it made me a little self conscious.

I blush and say, "Thanks. You all look great too."

Jessica was wearing some white short shorts with a black tank top that had rhinestones on the neck line and flip flops. I could not help wonder if she was freezing walking over here in that suit. Angela was wearing a gray sweater dress with black leggings and wedge shoes. Lauren though was wearing a very short sleeveless red bubble dress with no tights and stilettos.

Mike kind moves toward me and says, "So winter formal is in December, have you found a date?"

As he was talking I spotted Edward standing a few feet away, he was standing by his girlfriend. I really only assume she was his girlfriend since she was all over him a few weeks ago and they would look perfect together. They were also standing with a group of people including Alice and Jasper. I knew my place and it was not with that crowd, so I try to not stare.

I feel a hand around my shoulder and it was Eric, he says, "Mike Mike…you know she would not go with you…because she wants to go with me."

Mike says, "Oh is that right? Really?" The two then playfully shove each other which gave me time to escape. I head to where the beverages were and I hoped there was something non alcoholic. I open several ice chests and found nothing but bear and wine coolers. I then hear this smooth voice, "Hey are looking for anything particular."

I look up and see a guy that I believe was on the football team with Emmett, he had long golden blond hair that was pull into a pony tail, tall, muscular, and his looks were plain, nothing that I am attractive to.

I say, "Just something non alcoholic."

He then gives me an open can of coco cola and says, "Here you go, I promise I did not drink out of it…"

I hesitate and say, "No that is okay, I don't want to take your coke."

He gives me a smile that I am not sure if I am comfortable with, he says, "Well I saw you digging through the ice chest and felt bad that I got the last non alcoholic drink…I mean I have had already like three cokes, please take mine."

I smile and take it hoping he will just leave me alone. Alice's words pop in my head about being careful with your drinks.

He though keeps staring at me and says, "Well you can drink it." I felt like snow white when the wicked witch gives her the poison apple.

I then hear Edward behind me, "James I doubt Emmett will be too happy with you giving his sister a spiked drink."

James looks across my shoulder at Edward, glaring but he says nothing and walks away.

I turn to Edward and sigh in relief and Edward takes the coke out of my hand and throws it in the trashcan.

I smile weakly, "Thanks. I just knew there was something not right about him."

Edward nods, "Just to warn you he may not stop trying to seduce you. He has been accused of rape several times and it is rumored his dad, who is a lawyer, has given the victims money to shut up."

That made me cringe and I could see Emmett finding out and being thrown in the jail for beating the hell out of James.

I say, "Um do not tell Emmett about any of this…he will over react and end up in jail or something."

Edward nods, "Your secret is safe with me even though he would have every right to over react, James needs to get the crap beating of him…I would do it, but I do not think it would solve anything and I would for sure be thrown into prison…"

He then paused looking as if he said too much. I decide to just change the subject.

I look around the party and say, "So I am sure your girlfriend is wondering where you are now."

Edward raises an eyebrow, "My girlfriend?"

I nod, "Yeah the girl I saw in your lap a few weeks ago. She is tall, reddish hair…"

Edward says, "Oh Tanya? No, she is not my girlfriend more like ex girlfriend but we broke up a year ago…she just flirts too much. She would flirt with a tree if there were not a male around her at all times…"

I try to hide the smile that crept on my face. I was happy he was single though still out of my league.

Edward ask, "How about that guy that night who you were holding hands with, dark hair, glasses…"

I had a disgust look on my face, "Who Eric? Heck no. We were playing some game and he caught me so he was taking me back to their base…"

Edward smiles and could of sworn he said, "Good."

The music was loud with Lady Gaga blaring out the speakers. I was not a very big fan of the music. Edward and I had to yell to talk to one another. I also was a little scare that Emmett would see us talking and make some huge scene.

I then look over to my right and figure out Emmett probably will not remember most of this night when I hear, "Chug Chug Chug" and it is Emmett trying to guggle down a gallon of beer.

Edward says really close to my ear, "Do you want to get out of here?"

I nod and then I follow him as we try to push our selves through the crowd and out the door. I felt relief when I got outside because I could breathe but then again I was very cold.

Edward suggest, "Do you want to go to our lounge?"

I nod and we go into their lounge, It was filled with overstuff couches, flat screen tvs and video games. A few guys were in there playing some video game but they pause and stare at me. Thinking they don't get out much besides going to class. I felt a little awkward.

I then ask bravely, "Can I see your room?" I do not know why, I just felt brave. I have just attended my first party with underage drinking even though I did not participate in the illegal drinking I did feel wild and crazy.

Edward gives me a crooked a smile and says, "Sure."

As we got past the front desk because the woman on duty at the desk was busy talking on the phone she did not see us pass then we got on the elevator, I was going to forbidden territory, in a boy's dorm. I then got nervous and ask, "You do not think your dorm dad will catch us?" I had no idea what to call their person who is over their dorm hall…so I just said dad since ours in called a dorm mom.

Edward laughs, "Dorm dad? Well our R.A. Tim is like a 30 year old frat boy. He is probably at the party too."

The elevator opens and I follow Edward out and he grabs my hand and we run to his door and briskly opens it and pulls me in and slams it shut.

I raise an eyebrow, "I thought you were not afraid of getting caught."

Edward says, "Well there is still a chance he may catch us…I was just being safe."

I laugh and look around the room and notice the broken coffee table and look at him, Edward explains, "Your brother and Jasper likes to get in wrestling matches and have broken a few things."

I sigh, "I promise to make sure he pays half of what he owes for the broken stuff."

Edward shrugs, "Nah it is fine."

Edward the opens one of the doors to the room and says, he seemed nervous, "This is my room."

I walk in and it was neat, the bed made up and I walk around and notice on his shelf he had some family photos I say, "So Jasper and Rosalie are in most of these picture, they must be really close to the family."

Edward says looking over my shoulder, "Well about 5 years ago their dad got into some trouble with law from embezzling some money. So he is in prison. My father agree to let them live with us."

I nod, "How about their mother where is she?"

Edward says, "She has some problems. They have not seen her in 10 years; she has schizophrenia and refuses to take her meds."

I could see why Rosalie acted so cold towards everyone, because her family has messed up left her and her brother orphaned.

I nod and then see a picture of a young woman that look a lot like Edward, the picture seem to been taken in the 80s, I ask "Who is this?"

Edward replies, "It is a long story. I doubt you want to hear about it…"

It only made me more curious

I reply, "I have time."

Edward takes a breath and he had a blank expression on his face, "It is my birth mother. My dad and birth mother were not married when she got pregnant with me. They were college sweethearts and after my dad's 2nd year of medical school she got pregnant. He did take full responsibility and my mom moved in with him and later gave birth to me. So she took care of me while my dad finished medical school. My dad had work long hours for his internship and residency. Then one day my dad came home, I was 3 years old, he found me alone and a note saying, "Dear Carlisle, I just can not do this anymore. Sorry." All her stuff was gone and it was just me and him."

I felt guilty for bringing up bad memories and said, "I am sorry."

Edward shrugs, "No it is okay. Anyway Esme who was also my mom's cousin had come to help search for my mother because her family was worried, they eventually found my mom, who was working in a diner in a town about three hours away and she just begged to just be left alone. It broke my dad's heart and Esme who was a single mom with a daughter my age, comfort my dad and eventually they fell in love."

I say, "So Alice is really your cousin?"

Edward laughs, "It is not as incest it may seem but yeah she is my stepsister and cousin. And Esme is like a mother to me and Carlisle is like a father to Alice so I guess everything work out for the best."

I nod and then bend down looking at the CDs and say, "You have a lot classical music."

Edward says, "Yeah it relaxes me."

I pull out one of the Cds and say, "Claire de lune is one of my favorites."

He grabs the CD out my hand puts in the cd player and says, "Wow so you are fan of classical music."

I shrug, "Yeah my mom played a lot of it in the car when I was younger."

The music flowed through the room and it was a relief from the pop music blaring at the party.

He takes my hand and puts the other around my waist, my heart skips a few beats. I look at him confused and he smiles at me, "What?"

I say, "I don't dance…"

He places on of my hands on his shoulder and takes the other into his hand and says softly, "It's not hard."

I try to dance with him without stumbling or stepping on his feet, which I did not succeed, when I trip and fell forward into him but he caught me.

My head was against his chest, I could hear his heart beating and him breathing. I realize my body was pressed pretty tightly against him, since his arms were tightly around me. I did not know what to do I briskly pull a way and look up at him, and say blushing, "I am so sorry."

Edward pulls his hand through his perfect hair, "Don't be."

I shake my head, "I am just clumsy. It is a good day if I don't bruise my self, sprain something, or break a bone."

Edward laughs.

I look at him, "I am serious. I am a walking time bomb."

Edward gives me a crooked smile and says, "Well I will keep close so you don't harm your self."

I smirk, "Keeping to close to me, may be bad for your health."

Edward shrugs, "I am willing to risk it. My father is a doctor, I will be fine."

I could not help thinking that he could quite possibly be coming on to me. Then I remember Emmett telling me about the rumor that Edward only sleeps with girls and then has nothing to with them the next day.

"Why?" I ask.

Edward looks at me confuse, "Why what?"

"Why would you want to stay close to me…I mean after tonight we will just separate and go with our normal lives right…me with my group and you with yours. Only time we speak will be in Biology."

Edward looks at me, kind of hurt, "Why is that how you would rather it be?"

I shake my head, "No. But I can not fathom why you would want to hang out with me; I am plain, clumsy, and pretty dull. I am not like Rosalie or Tanya…"

Edward nods, "You are right."

I felt like he stab me in the heart.

He places his hands on my shoulder making me look into his beautiful green eyes, he had a goofy smile on his face, "You are not like Rosalie and Tanya and yes you are clumsy."

He smiles, "But you are wrong about being plain and dull. You have no idea what you do to me Bella. I look forward to our talks in Biology."

I look at him and had a hard time believing what he was saying. I did not feel like I was worth his time.

He then does something that caught me off guard, he kissed me. His lips were soft and gentle before I had time to respond he release and backed up looking at me in shock.

His long fingers touch his lips and he looks at me concern, "I am sorry. I…I did not mean to do that…I should have asked you or warn you…I just could not resist…"

I was flattered and I lick my lip still taste his sweet lips on mine, "Do not apologize. I had been dreaming of you doing that since the first I lay eyes on you."

He smiles really and says in a soft voice, "Well I am all about making dreams coming true."

He cups his hand around my face and his lips meet mine again but this time I respond as I move my lips with him, he backed up and fell on his bed bringing me with him.

I fell on top of him and laughed and said, "I told you I was a hazard…"

Edward rolls me over so his propped over me and gives me his dazzling smile, "Never." His lips meet mine again and he was very sweet and not forceful at all. He kept our kissing PG 13 rated and his hands never went above or below my waist, as much as I wished they would.

We finally came up for air.

We lay side by side on his tiny bed, his face only inches away from mine, gazing into each other's eyes.

I tell him about my family and life before school. He listens and takes in every word. He lets me know a few things about him.

I say, "I am not sure what we are but we probably should keep it from Emmett…he threatens to kick your ass if he finds out we were together…"

Edward nods, "Okay…even though I think I could take him…but I can not risk getting into another fight…which reminds me that maybe we ought to keep this from your dad too."

I say, "So what did you exactly do to piss my dad off?"

Edward says, "Well in 8th and 9th grade I became bit of a problem child, which was around the time we move to Forks. My mother came back in the picture starting all this drama and I started to resent my dad and Esme, so I may have vandalized a few places in the area and get in fights with some people in La. Push…"

I bite my lip, "With whom in La. Push…"

Edward's face turn into a scowl rolls on his back looking up at the ceiling, "Some guy name Sam who is a little older use to talk trash about my family and then Jacob Black try to get in the middle of it…"

Edward could tell by my face expression that I may have known some of those people, "Oh your dad is friends with The Blacks….sorry they must be close to you."

I shrug, "Not exactly…"

Edward raises his eyebrow.

I explain, "Jacob is my ex boyfriend."

Edward says, "Well I am over with that stage of my life. I promise I have no intention of ever starting anything with those people anymore. Anyway my father has threatened to send me to reform school if I do…"

I ask, "When is the last time you have gotten in trouble?"

Edward hesitates but sighs, "Last year. I got caught underage drinking by your dad. I was actually at La. Push with some other friends who were surfing. I am now banned from there."

I ask, "So what did you do this summer?"

Edward explains, "I stayed out of trouble and finish off my community service. The Town of Forks is nice and clean because of me."

I smirk, "Took you a year to do your community service."

Edward playfully nudges me, "Well it took a few months before I ever had my trial and also had to go to AA meetings and then school. Took me a while."

I nod.

Edward asks, "Does my rebel ways, turn you off to me."

I think for a moment. I kind of like that he was bit of a bad boy.

I smile, "No, more of the opposite."

Edward leans over and kisses me again.
