"MOOOOOOMM!" Alice's scream pierced through the hot summer air.

"Shut up Alice!" Edward and I both yelled at her. Alice was playing one of her favorite games; Ways to get Edward in trouble. Right now she claimed that Edward hit her and was screaming for Esme. I found the game funny at first but then grew tired of it quickly. I didn't like it when Edward got in trouble, beacuse that meant he wasn't going to be around us as much. Alice always saw that as a good thing because boys had "cooties", but i knew Edward didn't because no one as cool as Edward Cullen could have coooties, no one with hair that looked like string copper and a smile that could make you blind. Thats where my crush began, in the Cullens backyard on a hot summer afternoon.
