"EDWARD MASEN CULLEN! Get your behind down here you'll be late for the bus!" I Heard my mother call from downstairs,
"COMING!" I shouted back, pulling on my new trainers. I swiftly walked down the stairs to be met by my mother, pulling at me and ruffling my hair.
"God Edward couuld you have at least brushed your hair?" she started running her fingers through her own. "Now have you got bella's present from you because the school bus will be here any time soon and you will not be late again young man!" I sighed, yes today was bella's birthday, I had got her a present as all best friends should, but I also had a surprise...I was going to ask bella to go steady with me.
"Yes Mom I got it, now the bus is here, see you later!" I said grabbing my bag and running to the door.
The second I got on to the bus I felt scared, what if bella liked Mike or Tyler? I quickly took my normal seat next to the window, we had quite a few stops before we got to bella's house, i'd be fine, well at least i hoped i would be.
The Bus pulled up outside of Bella's house and I sucked in a big deep breath. Bella walked on looking as oretty as always, her eyes sparkling like the stars at night,
"Hey Eddie"She said as she sat next to me, yup she was the only person allowed to call me that, Not even my two best friends Emmett and Jasper were allowed to call me it
"Hello Birthday Girl, how are you?" I asked, as she glared at me,
"Shut it Cullen I don't want anyone to know its my birthday. Okay?" She said whisper-yelling at me, I nodded.
"But what about your present?" I asked, Well I couldn't not give it to her?
"Cullen! I thought I said No" She whisper-yelled again, hitting me lightly on the arm this time. I wasn't backing down, quickly I reached into my pocket revealing the small box. i grabbed her hand and shut it around the box and pulling my hand back before she had a chance to give it back,
"Eddie..." She said as she opened it, she tried to hand it back but I quickly moved my hands out of her reach,
"Happy birthday Bells"
LUNCH
"BELLAAA!EDWARD!" We heard our hyper friend Alice call from the other side of the cafeteria, as we walked through the doors of the huge room. As we reached them Alicde jumped out of her chair, knocking it over in that process,"HAPPY BIRTHDAY BELLA!" She shouted in Bellas ear as she hugged her,
"Alice! I didn't want any body to know!" Bella said, looking down upset,I walked over to her, putting my had on her arm,
"Well Bella it is your birthday," Rose her other best friend stated, but by that time Bella had walked out of the cafeteria silently.
"Oh well done guys! Every year you've done this since we were 6, God do you just not take the message?" I yelled at them then ran off to find my Bella.
I found her in the libary her head in yet again another book,
"Bella," I whispered walking up to her, "Bella i'm sorry i know they always do it and I know you hate it," I said sofly sitting next to her taking her hand,
"S'not your fault, Thank you Eddie," Her fingers grasping at mine, I looked down and saw she was wearing the bracelet I had brought her,
"Your wearing it," I whispered mostly thinking aloud "Hey Bells can I ask you something?"
"Yeah, er,Sure whats up?" She asked moving her eyes, which were also staring down at our locked fingers to my face,
"Well, Erm, well you see, well I..I mean" I stuttered not finding the words
"God Eddie spit it out!" She laughed,
"Well I was wondering well if maybe you'd possibly go steady with me?" I heard her gasp, "I mean, you dont have to I mean if you like Tyler or maybe even Mike"
"Eddie stop," She whispered, "Of course I'll go steady with you,"
"Really?" I asked in disbelief,
"Really!" She whispered back, She was my Bella.
