I'M BACK!

Iknow I promised an update earlier but my dad only gave me my laptop back yesterday and I got started on the new chapter right away. Of course what I didn't know was that my interntet is blocked from 8 pm till morning and I couldn't publish it! But it's here, a new update finally! So I'm not gonna ramble on anymore, go ahead and read :)

Disclaimer: Don't own anything though I wish I owned Edward

ENJOY!

"Bella! Wake up! Wake up!" first time in months I don't have a nightmare and I get woken up by an over hyper pixie. I wanted to choke her. However my murderous intentions disappeared as soon as I saw her Winnie-the-pooh pyjamas and messy hair. She was just too cute for her own good.

"Come on Bella, get up! We have to get ready for our first day! My mom always says first impressions count the most, so we have to look our best today! I saw this really cute Texan yesterday…" I tuned out her rambling to look at my alarm clock. 6 in the morning. Fabulous. I groaned and dropped back on my pillows hiding under the blankets.

"Alice I don't have classes until 9!"

"I know that Bella I looked over your schedule, but we must get dressed, do our hair, makeup, get stuff together and then we're meeting everyone for breakfast at Pancake Masters (No, it's not real, but nothing else came to my mind). I heardthey have great pancakes there" how can she talk so much at this unearthly hour?

"What do you mean by everyone exactly?"

"Rosalie, her boyfriend and my older brother Emmett, and Edward, you met him yesterday" I blushed when I heard Edward's name. He probably thinks I'm mentally disabled with the way I acted yesterday. Alice looked at me curiously for a second, but then shrugged and skipped to the closet. I let out a relieved breath. I was afraid she'll start asking me why am I blushing when she says her hot brother's name.

After lots of displeased noises from Alice, her offending comments about my clothes and my huffs at those comments I finally had an outfit. I wore dark wash skinny jeans and a deep blue long sleeved t-shirt. I took a quick shower, and then pulled on the clothes. The blouse hid my scars nicely so I wouldn't have to wear a sweater. I was currently looking for my black converses, when I saw Alice holding them up with a disgusted face. I reached out to grab them but she didn't let go. I frowned and pulled harder but she was surprisingly strong for someone so tiny. So I sat back on my heels and looked at her questioningly.

"Ali, is something wrong?" I asked confused.

"Bella did you plan on wearing this," she shook my shoes "on the first day of school?"

"Yee…es?" I still didn't understand what was wrong with my shoes.

"I don't think so" she threw my shoes back in the closet and came out with black ballet flats. Not wanting to argue with her, I just slipped them on quickly, yanked a brush through my hair and headed towards the door. I was just about to open it when Alice pulled me back. Really, it was getting annoying. Who did this girl think she was?

"Bella, can I please do your hair and makeup? Please?" my heart melted at the sight of her puppy dog face.

"Ok fine Ali, but hurry up" Alice clapped her hands in glee and pushed me into the bathroom, making me sit in a little pink chair. She must have gotten it yesterday. She proceeded to brush my hair, not being too gentle about it and I winced every time she tugged on it with the brush.

"Your hair so pretty and soft, and you have an awful lot of it (wish I had hair like Bella, but no my hair is just ridiculously thick and the colour of poop :(), you don't need much make up either you look better naturally. Just a little bit of mascara and eyeliner" I let her talk while she curled my hair, not moving for the fear of being burned with the curler. After she was satisfied with my hair, she applied mascara, eyeliner and a little of blue eye shadow. With a hilarious look of concentration Alice coated my lips with lip gloss and pronounced me ready. I now had sleek, shiny curls cascading down my back and very delicate makeup on my face. I actually looked pretty.

"Thanks Alice!" I hugged her and she laughed. Alice had her makeup done in less than ten minutes and soon we were walking to the Pancake Masters.

As soon as we entered, Alice led me to a small table near a window. It seemed we were the last ones to arrive with all the time wasted doing our hair and makeup. There was Edward, looking absolutely gorgeous in blue jeans and a designer green t-shirt. Across from him was a big, burly guy that looked like a serious weightlifter with curly, brown hair and cute dimples. Rosalie, statuesque and beautiful at any time of the day sat beside him and held his hand. They looked perfect together.

"Finally, I'm starving!" the big guy exclaimed as soon as he saw us, drawing attention to our table. Rosalie smacked the back of his head. I giggled at that.

"That's my older brother Emmett, he's a sophomore and Rose's boyfriend' Alice told me. The big guy got up from his chair so fast he almost flipped the table over and caught me in a hug.

"You must be Isabella! Alice wouldn't shut up about her new roommate yesterday! Nice to meet you!"

"It's…Bella…nice…to meet…you too, but I…can't…breathe!" I gasped out. He immediately put me down and I stumbled back.

"Sorry Bella" he smiled at me sheepishly. Then I heard Emmett's stomach rumble as did probably everyone else in the restaurant, it sounded like a bear growling.

"Ok, enough of this introductory crap, let's eat!" his booming voice carried across the restaurant and everyone were now staring at this scene. Emmett oblivious to everything but food walked back to his seat and picked up a menu. Alice sat down beside him, which left the only available seat beside…Edward. Blushing furiously and tripping over the thin air I attempted to sit gracefully, but as me and gracefulness don't cooperate, my leg got caught on the chair leg and I landed on…Edward's lap.

"Hello again Bella" Edward smiled his breathtaking crooked smile at me and I blushed even deeper if that's possible.

"Hi" I squeaked out. Jesus, so humiliating. I quickly got up and sat in my own chair, noticing everyone apart from Edward, who seemed dazed, were in hysterics. Alice gave me a smug smile and I glared at her. Damn pixie. Fortunately the waiter came to our table to take our orders, breaking the awkward moment between Edward and me. I couldn't even remember what I ordered. The only thing I was aware of, was how close Edward's body was to my own. Our arms were almost touching and I found myself wishing that he would scoot his chair closer to me. Snap out of it Bella! He doesn't even like you.

You can't know that.

Nobody wants a girl with a messed up past and no future.

That's true, but…

No buts get over your misplaced crush before it gets worse.

I don't know if I can.

Yes you can. You have to.

No I don't.

Yes, you do.

No I-

"Bella?" a velvet voice interrupted my internal battle. I looked into his concerned eyes.

"Huh?" was my brilliant reply.

"Are you alright? You seemed distant."

"I'm fine. Daydreaming I guess" I smiled at him and he smiled back, stealing my breath for a moment.

"Wanna play 20 questions?" he asked out of the blue, startling me again.

"20 questions? Really?"

"Yeah why not?"

"Umm, sure okay"

"Great, I'll go first. Favourite colour?"

"Green. Yours?"

"Blue. Favourite band?"

"Red jumpsuit apparatus"

"Really? Mine too. I also like Muse and Skillet." I don't think he can get any more perfect than this.

"I like them too! Especially "The last night" by Skillet (lmao, Ash ;)). Okay I think it's my turn. What do you do for fun?"

"I play the piano, listen to music and hang out with friends" and I thought he couldn't get more perfect.

"Really? You don't take your girlfriend for romantic walks in the park? You seem the type who would do that" it was impossible that this man could be single. Not that I cared anyways.

"I would if I had one" he answered with another dazzling smile. Holy crap he was free! I wanted to do a happy dance. No, no, wait. I don't care at all whether he's free or not. Well, I shouldn't. I looked around the table. No one was paying attention to us. Alice and Rosalie were talking about fashions and God knows what else and Emmett was too busy making goo-goo eyes at Rose to pay attention to our surroundings. I bit into my blueberry pancakes I didn't even remember ordering and Edward started on his in silence.

"Ok, I think it's my turn. Are you single?"

I almost choked on my pancakes. This Greek God was asking me if I'm single!? Why would he care anyways? He could probably have any girl he wanted. Oh, wait I still didn't answer the question.

"Umm, yes I am single. Was there a reason you asked?" smooth Bella, smooth. Edward looked down at his food.

"Just curious" right. Of course he wouldn't want me. I wasn't interesting or attractive. And he was. Attractive and interesting and mysterious, gorgeous, rich, smart, intelligent, gorgeous, talented, amazing oh and did I mention unbelievably gorgeous?

Twenty minutes later, the awkward breakfast was over and I sighed in relief when I went outside with Alice. Since she had no classes till 12 she wanted to go back to the dorm and organize her stuff. I had no idea what she meant by that because her things were already perfectly organized and unpacked. However if I didn't hurry up I'll be late for my classes so after a hurried exchange of words with Alice I started walking in the direction of the campus. So wrapped up in my thoughts I barely noticed when a silver Volvo skidded to a stop in front of me and Edward's head poked out the window.

"Need a ride?"
