Bella POV:

I reached the room in time and saw Rosalie checking her make-up. Maddie, Kayla, and Bri were sitting on the couches doing something different. Maddie was opening her bag and carrying out a book. Kayla and Bri were chatting were both chatting while watching a movie. They were opening a bag of chips but Kayla was looking nervous. I moved closer and realized they were talking about their new school year. She was relieved that we were all going to Midnight University.(Yay, I got a name for it!) I heard Alice's footsteps so I decided to make up an excuse because I didn't know if I could face her after hearing the conversation even though I was very curious. Beep, beep, beep. Yes! It had perfect timing. "I'm going to go get it,"I shouted behind me as I quickly walked to the kitchen before they could object. I slowly opened the microwave and took the bag of popcorn out. I poured it in the bowl and walked back in the room.

Alice stared at me with a grin as I entered. She was standing and bouncing up and down. Her bracelet gleamed in the light. They all looked at me as if I knew what was going on. I looked at them with a questioning look. They seemed to get that I didn't know. "Alice, why are you so happy?"Rose investigated. Alice looked at her innocently as she grinned wider. "Oh, it's just that your mom has an amazing taste in decorations,"she said directing it to Rose. She seemed to have let that go like everyone else. They believed that she was telling the truth but I knew she was but she wasn't telling the whole thing. Nobody seemed to know what I knew. Alice looked at me with a pleading look while I looked back silently saying to tell me everything later. She slightly nodded looking defeated so I dropped the subject.

Ding dong. Alice, grateful for the interruption, jumped up and headed to the door. I stood up and walked down. Alice already was holding the door for the guests that were pouring in. I finally reached down the stairs. I decided to walk around first. People congratulated me and wish the best of luck in my new school. Some were familiar, some were not. Blinking lights were flashing and in another room, small lights were on the ceiling reminding me of stars. Mrs. Hale is good at decorating, but Alice probably has something to do with this. Where did everyone go? Bri and Kayla were out of sight. Alice and Rosalie were probably running everywhere. "Bella,"sang familiar voice. I turned around. It was just Maddie. Her dress was shimmering in the light as she grabbed me by the arm. "Where are we going,"I asked knowing to expect the unexpected. "We're going to the dance floor,"she informed me. I groaned. "Don't worry, we're not going to dance." I looked at her in confusion. "Did you see Bri, Kayla, Alice, or Rose?" I shook my head. I got, she was looking for them. "You find Alice and Rose,"she commanded. As we got closer to the dance floor, the music bounced off the walls and was pounding through the speakers. It was good we didn't have that many neighbors. The neighbors were Bri, Kayla, and Maddie but their parents were elsewhere. I think they were with our parents and watching a movie next door.

I looked at my surroundings hoping to see Alice or Rosalie. The light flashed on something shiny. I checked my memory trying to remember what they were wearing. Wait a minute. Wasn't Alice wearing a bracelet? I glanced back at Maddie. The place she once stood was empty. "Just great,"I muttered. I made my way to the place where I thought I saw her bracelet. I smiled as I thought of Alice waiting for me at that spot. Instead, I saw a pair of green eyes. "You,"I stammered, my words barely a whisper.

Don't worry, I'm continuing. I'm not that mean.

I stared into his eyes and blushed. To hide it, I reached into my purse and got out the cell phone. "Here,"I murmured, still not looking at him. We traded phones in silence. When I thought it was the right time, I looked up. I studied his features for a while. He was pale and perfect with messy bronze hair to crown it all. I felt misplaced standing in front of him. It was an awkward silence and I didn't want to be the one to break it. It looked like he didn't want to either. Luckily, it was neither of us. "There you are,"a high soprano voice sang. Of course. "Alice,"we both exclaimed. We both glanced at each other in astonishment. He knew Alice? "Oh, I gues you've already met," Alice nervously sputtered, glancing from me to him. I blushed. "No, we were just returning things,"I exclaimed flashing Alice a knowing look. "Oh, ok. Edward, this is Bella. She's one of my best friends. Bella, this is Edward. He is my oh-so- annoying brother." I glanced at him while he raised his eyebrows at Alice. "Annoying?" "Yes, annoying," she answered. "Hello Bella," he said in a soft, velvet voice. "Hi, how do you like it here so far?"I asked trying to make a conversation. He laughed at my attempt. How beautiful his laugh was. Snap out of it Bella. It was mostly like that in my head but conversation eased forward between us and I learned I had a lot in common with him.

"Hello," a voice greeted, disrupting our conversation. It was Rose. She smiled as she saw me but grinned wider as her eyes laid on the person next to me. "Bella, who's your friend?"she eagerly questioned. I stood there not knowing what to do as she kept staring at him. "There you are,"a quiet voice sighed. Maddie pulled me along by grabbing my elbow. I wanted to see his reaction to Rose so I turned around. He seemed to be in deep thought while he stared back. I flashed an apologetic smile to them as I got carried away. Only Alice caught it though since the other two were in a deep conversation.

"Bri's making her announcement soon to welcome someone," rushed Maddie. I wonder who it could be. She ran close to the stage with me trailing behind. My foot got caught at the edge of the door and I fell. Just my luck. I looked down at my knee and saw that blood was beginning to ooze out from the wound. "Are you ok?"Maddie ask as she rushed down to help me. I was beginning to get lightheaded. I limped to the bathroom with Maddie beside me. "Here." She handed me a damp towel and I gently wiped away some of the blood. I placed some gel-like substance on it and wrapped the band-aid around my knee.

"Sorry to be random but why were you annoyed back there with Alice, Edward, and Rose?" I couldn't meet her gaze so my eyes rested upon a painting on the blue wall. I studied it. There were white swans in a big lake on a sunny day. My thoughts wandered. Annoyed? Was I annoyed? "I have no idea,"I answered truthfully. We heard Bri end her speech with the crowd roaring. "I think we'd better run,"she commanded sensing my discomfort. That was why I liked to talk to Maddie. She wasn't like Alice and Rose who I had to tell everything to.

I swung the door open and stepped out. I still felt a little thirsty after running. "I'm going to get something to drink,"I stated while she nodded. "I'm going to find out about the guest first, ok?"she asked while I nodded. I'll just find out later.

I walked past the crowds to the table. I separated the cups and poured some juice in one of them. Right then, I turned around. My juice began to slosh around. I stared at someone's shirt stained with my juice. "I'm so sorry,"I started but stopped abruptly as I stared in his eyes. I then realized who he was.

Sorry it took so long, but I was really sick! Thank you for the reviews and if you didn't, please try to. I really want to hear from you. I'm still sick but I might finish the 7th chapter. Thanks for reading!
