I had spent all of last night preparing for this moment. Double biology. With Edward Cullen. Alone. Just the two of us. It had taken me about three hours to do my hair and make-up this morning; I'd got up at four-thirty just to make sure that everything was perfect. And spent the entire ride to school re-touching my lip-gloss in Angela's wing mirror. Her car was much more bumpy than Lauren's but unfortunately, I was stuck with a crappy ride because Miss STI was taking the morning off to visit the clinic "with her Mom." Like hell she was! Did she think that I was stupid or something? Anyway, more importantly, Edward Cullen. I'd made it through lunch without spilling something all over myself, I'd redone my hair in the bathroom and I was ready to go get me some Cullen.

OHMYGOSH, that guy is GORGEOUS! His skin is a little pale from living in Alaska but that's nothing that a few weeks in Florida wouldn't cure. My mom told me that the Cullens are stinking rich actually so let's make it a month. When we're officially going out, I bet he'll invite me on holiday with him ALL the time. Those rich guys always do.

It's not like it's not gonna take work though. Edward Cullen is obviously REALLY REALLY shy. That's why he was so quiet and...distant yesterday. His first day in a new school must have been confusing enough. Clearly, he wasn't into all the gossip although I would have LOVED being the centre of attention. As they say, opposites attract.

Edward can't have failed to sense the connection between us in Biology yesterday. I felt so weird when I got home and I thought about him ALL night. That must be love, right? I fell asleep trying to picture him topless...hmmm...I bet he's got a six-pack hidden away under there. Grrr, why won't he wear tighter t-shirts? Or better still, no t-shirt! Damn it! Why can't we live in Florida where guys can get away with that kind of thing?!

I gulped as I stepped into the biology classroom and quickly checked my reflection in the glass panel of the door. I was easily the most stunning female in class and next to Angela, I looked like a goddess. Had she even bothered to brush her hair this morning? And that ugly sweater dress?! So last season! Edward was the sort of guy who'd never go for an ugly girl. He deserved someone as gorgeous as him and he was about to meet her. Me.

For some stupid reason, I was so distracted gazing at him that I took my usual seat at the table behind his. YOU IDIOT, JESS, I yelled at myself. WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR? I'd just have to lean over and talk to him. Good thing that I'd worn a low top. My boobs were my best weapon.

"Um...hi...Edward..." I stammered. What was that? Where had my seductive voice gone? I'd been practising all night! Better make a quick recovery. I flicked my hair but my hand accidentally hit his arm. EMBARASSING! I blushed about a million shades of red and Edward lowered his head as if he was trying not to laugh.

"Sorry!" I muttered, failing once again, at the seductive voice. What the hell was going on? Why couldn't I be sexy? It had worked on my giant teddy bear!

"That's quite alright." Edward replied, in his dreamy voice. How did he make his tone so soft and enticing? He was DEFINITELY flirting with me.

"So...did you..um get the...uh...homework done...alright?" Was my tongue going into sleep mode? I couldn't actually get the words out. Edward nodded.

"I think so." And turned around to face the front.

So he was playing hard to get! Obviously, he didn't want to seem like a right pimp who starts making his way through the female population of Forks a day after he arrives. Well, two could play at that game. I wouldn't make myself seem eager at all. Let him come to you, Jess, I told myself confidently. If he doesn't fall for you, he's got serious issues.

But he would. Edward Cullen would be mine. And it was likely to be sooner rather than later. I mean, the guy didn't have forever at his disposal, right?
