Author's Note: I bet you guys hate me right now, don't you? I'm so sorry! I don't know I started writing this chapter like 3 weeks ago but stopped in the middle of it cause I wasn't exactly sure where I was taking it. But I decided to write today so hopefully you guys like this chapter. It might be a little boring but don't worry it's going to get interesting really soon. Also in the last chapter the glass that shattered was from Tyler's car not Bella's. These are a few reviews I wanted to answer I probably won't do this every chapter though. Thanks for all the reviews though! They're all wonderful. Oh. Btw, if I make any mistakes or you see any problems don't hesitate to tell me. I have no Beta.

Bellaandedwardforever02: I know which stories you're talking about and I like reading them too but I wanted to do mine this story a little differently. When I read your review though, it gave me an idea. I am going to start writing a story like that and I know exactly who Bella is going to read it with. Since your review kind of sparked the idea in my idea, I'll give you a preview of my story and then you'll know how I'm going to write my story.

Monique.: I planned on having Bella telling Edward about the book or him finding out some way. Either this chapter or next. Thank you for the idea though and yeah when you first start writing it's a little scary like "What are they going to think of it?" and "Am I a horrible writer?" But I'm sure you'll do fine. It comes out pretty easily once you actually start writing. So when you do start writing make sure to PM me with the news of your first story! I'll read it.

Mrs. Alec Volturi: I actually like that idea a lot. I think I'll probably use that but change it a little. If I do use your idea I'll make sure to credit you in the AN at the beginning of the chapter and send you a preview of the next chapter! Thanks a lot!

Well. Here we go.

Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into around a month. Things have been going good here in Forks. I'm getting used to the rain, and even though I miss the sun I end up enjoying the rain sometimes. The rain beating on the roof and window create a surprisingly calming rhythm, and I find myself reading or taking small naps.

Every chance we get (only in Biology, sadly), Edward and I talk. He constantly asks me questions varying from what my favorite color is to what I miss the most about Phoenix. He must have gotten used to my scent because I only see him curl his hand into fists every once in a while. And I don't know how he feels but..

I've definitely fallen in love with him.

Besides that things are pretty normal. I've done my best to not give Mike the wrong impression and I think he's gotten the hint.. I think. And though I find Jessica and her gossip annoying, I still sit next to her at lunch. Though most of the time I talk to Angela or keep quiet and and glance at Edward every other minute.

Gosh, I'm pathetic.

So now it's the first Wednesday of March (I'm in Biology with Edward asking me every detail of my life, of course) and, just like in Twilight, Jessica sat away from Mike and he was unusually quiet all day. Which means, Mike still wanted to ask me. Can't the guy take a freaking hint? Goodness.

So before Edward can ask me another question, Mike just had to walk up to me.

"So," Mike said, looking at the floor, "Jessica asked me to the spring dance."

"That's great." I made my voice bright and enthusiastic. "You'll have a lot of fun with Jessica."

"Well…" He floundered as he examined my smile, clearly not happy with my response.

"I told her I had to think about it."

"Why would you do that?" I let disapproval color my tone, though I was relieved he hadn't given her an absolute no.

His face was bright red as he looked down again. Pity shook my resolve.

"I was wondering if… well, if you might be planning to ask me."

I paused for a moment, hating the wave of guilt that swept through me. But I saw, from the corner of my eye, Edward's head tilt reflexively in my direction.

"Mike, I think you should tell her yes," I said.

"Did you already ask someone?" Did Edward notice how Mike's eyes flickered in his direction?

"No," I assured him. "I'm not going to the dance at all."

"Why not?" Mike demanded.

"First of all, I don't think that's any of your business," I was hoping to be at the Meadow with Edward and I didn't know what else to say but the way he demanded an answer pissed me off, which surprised me. I don't usually get mad so easily. "and second, you shouldn't make Jess wait any longer – it's rude."

I made sure my tone was firm. I didn't want to deal with this anymore.

"Yeah, you're right," he mumbled, and turned, dejected, to walk back to his seat.

I turned back to Edward only to see him with the same confused and frustrated look he gets when he can't figure out what I'm thinking. Gosh, he was adorable.

I smiled at him, and even though he was still confused he smiled back at me. It made my heart skip a beat. And I blushed because, when he heard it, his smile got broader.

"Mr. Cullen?" the teacher called, seeking the answer to a question that I hadn't heard.

"The Krebs Cycle," Edward answered, seeming reluctant as he turned to look at Mr. Banner.

xXx

On my way to my truck after school, I groaned when I saw Eric standing by my there.

"Hey, Eric," I called.

"Hey, Bella."

"What's up?" I said as I was unlocking the door.

I already knew what was coming and braced my self for his next words.

"Uh, I was just wondering...if you would go to the spring dance with me?"

"Umm.. I'm sorry, Eric. I'm planning on doing something else that day."

"Oh," he said "Well maybe next time."

"Sorry. I'm not really into dances." I replied tentatively. I didn't want to hurt his feelings.

"Oh, okay." He said with a disappointed expression on his face as he turned to walk away.

"Hey.. Eric?" I asked before continuing when he turned around. "I'll see you tomorrow"

I then proceeded to hop in my truck and start it up, only to see Edward Cullen's car sitting in front of mine.

I groaned and muttered under my breath, "It's official. Edward Cullen is trying to drive me crazy."

I saw Edward give me a confused glance but before I could motion for him to move there was a knock on my window.

I groaned again and by the smirk on Edward's face I could tell he was amused.

I looked over to see Tyler knocking on my window.

I leaned across the cab to crank the window down. It was stiff. I got it halfway down, them I gave up. "I'm sorry, Tyler, I'm stuck behind Cullen." I was annoyed-obviously the holdup wasn't my fault.

"Oh, I know-I just wanted to ask you something while we're trapped here." He grinned. This could not be happening. "Will you ask me to the spring dance?" he continued.

"I'm going to be busy that weekend, Tyler." My voice sounded a little sharp.

"Yeah, Mike said that," he admitted.

Even though I was expecting it, it still angered me that he assumed.

"Then why-" He shrugged. "I was hoping you were just letting him down easy."

This guy is such a jerk.

"Sorry, Tyler," I said, working to hide my irritation. "I really am busy.And next time you shouldn't assume."

He ignored the last part of my statement.

"That's cool. We still have prom."

And before I could say anything he swiftly turned around and got back in his car.

I growled in irritation and turned back to the front only to see Edward Cullen laughing before he sped out of the parking lot.

xXx

When I got home that night I started thinking about how I was supposed to get Edward to ask me to his meadow the day of the dance.

Before I could figure anything out, the phone rang.

It was surprisingly Angela instead of Jessica, who I was expecting to call.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Bella" She sounded shy and uncertain.

"Oh. Hey, Angela. How are you?"

"Good. Um.. I was just wondering if you could help me with something?" There was a nervous undertone to her voice.

Sympathy hit me. Angela was no nice.

"Of course. What is it you needed help with?"

"Um.. well.. I kinda of like someone but I don't know if he likes me back and well I'm kinda taller than him.. so.. what do you think I should do?"

I was stumped. I've never had to deal with crushes and stuff like that before. Shoot I'm just dealing with it now.

And then a solution for both of our problems had me smiling.

"Well, why don't you ask him to the dance? It is girl's choice. And you're a wonderful person Angela. So if something as little as height difference makes him say no than he doesn't deserve you."

I could hear the relief in her voice when she answered, "Thanks so much, Bella. I'll see you at school tomorrow. Oh. And the best of luck with Edward Cullen." And she hung up.

Man, that girl was perceptive.

Now on to my problem..

How the hell was I suppose to ask Edward freaking Cullen out?

xXx

The next day I was so nervous I was shaking.

I did see that Angela was holding hands with a boy I remember as Ben Cheney. I was happy for her.

But the hours leading up to Bio were nerve-wracking.

I didn't even look at him at lunch, which was unusual for me.

When I finally got to Bio I had tripped at least 3 times on my way to the desk. I was so embarrassed and nervous and the giggles from my classmates weren't helping.

We were just reading from the book all bell so I decided to be a 1st grader and send him a note.

At least if he rejected me it would be on paper and not out loud. I'd probably cry if people heard him reject me.

So I wrote a note. It said:

Edward,

I was wondering if maybe we could hang out on the day of the dance?

We need to talk and... well.. there's something I need to tell you.

-Bella

I know. Lame, right?

He didn't answer until the end of the bell. And it wasn't on paper. The only relief I has was that he waited until everyone was gone.

"Bella?"

"Ye-e-es?" I was shaking again.

I couldn't be sure by I could have sworn I saw his hand reach out towards mine before he pulled it back.

"Um.. I don't know if I can go.." He sounded hesitant. He didn't want to hurt my feelings. Were the books wrong? Did he not love me as I loved him?

I started walking off as I blushed and mumbled, "O-okay. I understand."

"Wait, Bella. It's not that I don't want to go, it's just... It's dangerous for you Bella. I'm dangerous."

Relief so big it nearly knocked me over hit me. He was just being overprotective and doubting himself. I almost laughed at the relief I felt.

I turned around and looked at his frightened eyes and felt my heart skip a beat.

"Oh. Edward. Is that it? That's nothing to worry about. Just make sure you hunt the day before." I said with a smile.

When I saw his eyes practically fall out of his eyes, I giggled.

"It's okay Edward. I won't tell anyone. That's actually one of the things I needed to talk to you about."

He didn't say anything so blushing, I made a bold move and kissed him softly on the cheek.

Then I turned around a left a speechless Edward Cullen standing in the middle of the Biology room.

Long chapter today! Yay! Hoped you guys liked it. I think I finally know where I'm going with this story so hopefully I'll be updating more often or at least a little quicker.
