DISCLAIMER: until me and my vampire army take over the world, I don't own twilight or any of its affiliates

The day passed by painfully slowly. Mostly, because I desperately wanted to see Bella again. But another thing haunted me, my feeling for this girl. I couldn't figure it out. It's like everything I knew was falling to pieces around me. I decided to talk to the one person who I thought always understood me, my Father. I walked to the side of the school during the break before my last class, and called him. I didn't want to be overheard.

"Hello?"

"Hi dad"

"Oh, hi Alice, sweetie"

"No, dad, its Edward"

"Oh, hi Edward, hunny, what's up?"

"Umm, I wanted to talk to you about something"

"Ok, what is it?"

"Well, I'm confused. No, not confused, because I'm pretty sure I like her, but how can that be? I mean, I always thought I was like you, that's how I was raised, but then this new girl just walks into school, and all of a sudden it is like everything changed. When I see her it seems like I can't breathe, and m legs get all wobbly, and it feels like the only people in the world is just me and her. But it doesn't make any sense, does this make me bi? But that doesn't make sense either because I've never felt this way about a guy and...And...Christ, I just don't know, what do you think?"

"Ummmmmmm..."

I heard a voice say in the background "mike honey, come help me with dinner"

He heaved a relieved sigh

"Well, this has been a great conversation, son, but I have to go help Tyler make dinner"

And he was gone

"Well, that helped a whole lot" I muttered sarcastically to myself. Then, I decided to call the one other person who had been there for me, scratch that, the one person who was always there for me, and not busy sucking face with Jasper.

"Hello?"

"hi, Es- I mean, mom" living apart from my mother, and being around my father, I had gotten into the habit of calling Esme by her name, but I wasn't allowed to call her that to her face. I guess Esme was still better then what else my father called her, he didn't particularly like the fact that Esme got most of his money "I hope I'm not bothering you, but I really needed to talk to someone..."

"Of course not, I was just baking cookies, what's the matter, Edward, sweetie?"

"I think I have a crush"

She sighed

"Well, I'm sure he is a very nice boy" Esme had never been a huge fan of the fact my father 'turned me gay' she wasn't homophobic or anything, but she thought m father was, shall we say, a bad influence.

"Actually, mom, I think I have a crush, on a girl"

She squealed so loud I had to pull the phone away from my ear, when I put the phone back to my ear, she was babbling

"...and you have to bring her over for dinner, she must be incredible. I am sure she is very pretty. Alice must be so happy!, Oh, just wait until I tell Carlisle, maybe the two of you can go to a baseball game, would you like that? Of course you would like that, any normal teenage boy would! Normal, don't you just love that word? I LOVE that word! I can't wait to meet this girl, Bella did you say her name was? She must be so pretty, have you asked her out yet? What did she say? Of course she said yes, who am I kidding? Who would possibly say not to my beautiful straight son? You two make such a cute couple, when is homecoming? You have to rent a limo! I wonder if she would fit into my old wedding dress."

I sighed

"Goodbye mom"

And I hung up

This is why I don't talk to my mom. I've liked a girl for a grand total of 5 hours, and she is getting a wedding dress fitted. There is only one other person I could think to call. I dialed

"Hi Edward"

"Hi Alice, how did you know it was me?"

"Caller ID, duh! Ok, so what's with the way you were looking at the new girl?"

"I think I might like her"

"Well, I know you like her. I have eye you know. I SO KNEW that you weren't gay."

"If you always 'knew' this, you think you could have told me? It's irrelevant anyway, because I've always been gay, I can't just change now"

"No, you always THOUGHT you were gay, did you ever actually put any thought into it?"

"Not really..."

"Exactly, now, get to the auditorium; you're going to be late!"

"But I still have to get to my last class"

"Edward, school has been over for ten minutes"

"Crap, bye Alice, thanks!"

I ran all the way to the auditorium, but Bella wasn't there yet

or she just isn't going to show up" shut up voice in my head" I muttered

"Talking to yourself is the first sign of insanity" a melodious voice said from behind me

I turned around; Bella was standing there with another guy, rather muscular with a boyish quality to him.

shit I thought, her first day here, and she already has a boyfriend, at least it isn't the vile mike Newton" sorry, I didn't see you, I try to tone down the crazy if others are around" I said.

She laughed, I glowed.

She turned to the guy lurking behind her

"I'm going to be here for about an hour, Emmett, if you don't mind waiting, I will meet you in the parking lot"

"Sure" he said, and she hugged him

I cringed; visibly I'm sure, because the guy, Emmett, was smirking at me. He whispered something in her ear, she laughed and said "ya, right that's impossible" she kissed him on the cheek and he stalked out. She turned to me.

"I was thinking that we should do the second half of fantasies come true, and you can sing Rod's half, so it seems like we are singing to each other. You are trying out for Princeton, right?"

"y-ya" I stuttered

"great, I'm going out for Kate monster, I hope you get the part, playing opposite you would be so much better then having to kiss that vile Mike Newton"

I was thrilled. She hated Mike as much as I did, well, maybe not quite as much, but she didn't like him, plus, she thought just like me! I had never heard anybody else in the century use the term 'vile'.

"Shall we start?" I asked

She giggled, and I immediately felt like an idiot for being so formal.

"We shall" she smiled.

"Wait" I said, suddenly remembering "you know the play well, right?"

"Very well"

"Then you know what part of the play fantasies come true happens at, right?"

"Ya, right after Kate and Princeton have sex, is that a problem?" she raised an eyebrow questionably

"No, not at all" I responded " just wanted to make sure you knew"

Since we both already knew the words, we just rehearsed where we were going to stand, etc.

(A/N-I is putting the lyrics to the song the are doing, just so you know, in the real play, this scene is sung in bed, but I think that would be a little awkward to work out: p)

PRINCETON
Kate, that was amazing!

KATE
you're amazing

PRINCETON
Heh, I want you to have this. It's a penny I carry around with me for good luck. It's from the year I was born,

I want you to know
the time that we've spent
how great it's been
how much it's meant

KATE
Gosh, I don't know what to say
I'm really glad you feel that way

Cuz I'm afraid
that I like you more
than I've ever liked
any guy before

PRINCETON KATE

PRINCETON KATE

PRINCETON
Fantasies come true

At the end of the hour, we had run through it without music about three times, Bella promised to bring the CD for Wednesday"

"Unfortunately" she said "I am busy tomorrow after school, so we won't get to practice until then"

I was disappointed, but I tried not to show it too much. We walked out of the auditorium together and into the parking lot, where I saw Emmett and a blonde girl making out against a big Chevy truck. I looked at Bella, worried she would freak out about her boyfriend kissing another girl, but she just laughed, and walked up to them.

"Ok, you two, break it up. Sometimes I think you two are no more then a pair of over excited teenagers" she laughed again, as that was obviously what they were. I walked up to them. I was confused by this relationship dynamic

"Oh, Edward!" Bella said "I feel like such a jerk for not introducing you two earlier, Edward, this is my brother and sister, Emmett and Rosalie"

First I was relieved; she didn't have a boyfriend, after all. Then I got what I am sure is a befuddled expression on my face, Rosalie saw it and laughed

"Not blood brother and sister; I was adopted by the Swans three years ago."

I was relieved. I did not want to have to deal with an incestuous family, although I would have put up with it for Bella

"Ok, Edward, I will see you tomorrow in Biology, bye"

Then, to my surprise, she got in the drivers seat of the old Chevy truck, and Emmett and Rosalie squished in beside her, she honked, and then drove off

The more time I spent with this girl, the more intrigued I became by her. I guess the only solution to that would be to spend more time with her. I smiled at the thought and got into my Volvo, the last car in the parking lot.

The last thing I wanted to do right now was deal with my family, but I knew it was inevitable the minute I pulled into my driveway and saw Esme, Carlisle and Alice waiting for me on the porch.
