SONG FOR THIS CHAPTER IS BROWN EYED GIRL BY VAN MORRISON

EPOV

"PUH-LEASE!!!!! ALICE!!!! Drive me there?? She is crazy she threw a canned soup at my car!!!!" I pleaded with Alice to take me to Tanya's house to pick up some of my stuff that girl was crazy! I was currently making my best puppy dog eyes with the trademark Cullen Pout to get my sister to give into me.

My sister didn't quite understand my fears, but if I raised a can of soup to her Porsche she would certainly be more sympathetic to my worries. I had only dated Tanya for a month…..it was nothing serious! JEEZ Edward how do you get yourself into these situations??? Seriously?? Your smarter then this or at least I would like to think that I am smarter then this!

"No Edward! I promised Rose and MY Jazzy we could go to the movies tonight." My sister could be mean when she wanted to…………………I swear sometimes I wish that mom hadn't let them hold her back because she didn't have that ONE friggin class when we moved here from Alaska. Now I will be stuck in the same grade and a lot of the same classes with her until we graduate. "Alice Please! Tanya has lost her Noodles!!!" I chuckled at my little joke, maybe she was mad because she never had the chance to get my noodle "literally! She almost hit my car! MY hunny bunny My Baby waby!" I said making kissy noises at my car that was parked in the garage where we were standing.

"Eeewwww! EDWARD GAG ME!!!" she started making heaving noises "Maybe if you would date girls you actually liked more then your precious Volvo, you wouldn't have this problem,"

"Alice come on PLEASE ALI!!! I would die a slow death if she injured my car, plus she knows better then to cross you." I pleaded with her

"No Eddie-kins I have bailed you out one to many times. This time it's your mess and you are going to have to clean it up!"

"Ali she cheated on me" I whispered she had cheated on me because I wouldn't sleep with her. The funny thing is I got the reputation around school that I was a little bit of a man-whore. But my sister didn't know if that assumption was true or not. Sometimes I think she just played along with it because I never fought the rumors or denied them. But the truth of the matter is that I just went along with all of the rumors so that I could fit in at this school when we moved here from Alaska three years ago.

She just stared at me at first I didn't think that she heard me. But then she ran to me and hugged me. I let her hug me, it wasn't often that I let down my guards long enough for someone to enter my personal space. She seemed to enjoy the moment but when she pulled away and I looked down at the little pixie there were tears in her eyes.

"Edward if you don't stop the gossip at school this is going to continue to be everyone's perception of you. It's our junior year. Don't you think that it is time to put an end to this charade? I know you think it easier then putting yourself out there but honestly!!!! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO YOU REALLY ARE ANYMORE?!?!?!" She paused and then looked at me and it was like she could see right through me. I remember her saying something about the way that my eyes were like windows that showed all my emotions I hoped they weren't showing just how hurt I was about what Tanya had done to me. She was right though I had gotten so used to being classified as the schools resident playboy that I wasn't even shy about making out with any girl that batted there eyes in my general direction. I knew the real me was in here somewhere but I am not sure where exactly I buried him.

" Ali, I know that you are right but what is the point of showing the real me to the girls around here? Look at Tanya? And Lauren! All the girls around here are some wannabe clone version of them. And I can't seem to find anything when you try to scratch the surface to see what is deeper. They really are that shallow! All they care about is their reputations and they ALL make up stories to be able boost that ego of theirs"

" Well it doesn't help that for the past year you have had your tongue down almost everyone of the Forks High Cheerleaders.(NICE GO EDWARD….MY BROTHERS WORDS NOT MINE) Edward really!" She scolded, " The only one you haven't done the tonsil tango with is Rosalie and that's because she wouldn't let you!"

" I know! I KNOW!!! Will you please just take me?" I was getting tired of this conversation

"Only if you promise to tell me what happened on the way over there." She looked at me with eyes that dared me to disagree with her terms. I knew those eyes all to well. The last time I defied her when she had that look she rearranged my entire CD collection it took me a month to finally get it back to normal.

"Okay" I sighed as I walked to get into her Porsche I swear why would anyone want a yellow colored vehicle? Oh wait this is my sister and she does like the attention! Ha ha ha don't eat any yellow snow cones……………okay that was a little childish

As Alice got into the car and started down the driveway that lead to the highway, I begin to explain to her how I caught Tanya and Tyler Crowley in a very heated situation in the parking lot of the movie theatre where I was supposed to meet her for our date. To say that what they were doing would have made Jenna Jameson blush was an understatement. Okay so I may be exaggerating but seriously she was having sex in the back of a van that everyone at school had nicknamed the "shagging wagon" and was parked ten feet from the entrance to the Forks Theatre. I personally think that she wanted to be caught and that she did this as some form of punishment in her mind to so me that I was a lesser man, I knew she had a reputation for being easy. I mean it was written on the walls in the boy's bathroom like it was a shrine to Tanya. That girl had more turns then a doorknob, but I had hoped that like me her reputation was unearned. Alice brought me out of my thoughts by letting me know we were at her house, and asked if I wanted her to go in for me.

"Please would you?" I begged…….damn is it just me or am I starting to sound like a whiny teen girl begging for everything??

"Okay I will go only if you agree to go to Rose and Jasper's house with me. I have a feeling that you will find someone or something worth your time while we are there." She winked and darted out of the car before I could argue with her. "Sneaky little one" I mumbled to myself. Her and her uncanny "feelings" as she called them I had learned the hard way many times that you do not bet against that one. Hmmmmm I wonder what could possibly be at the Hale's house that was worth my time of going over there with her? God I hope that it is not more watching make out time on the couch between Jasper and Alice……….about thirty minutes later Alice returned to the car with my letterman, some cd's that she had borrowed and a few other items. She was sporting a devilish grin and I begin to wonder what the little jumping bean had just done. I was too afraid to ask though, I am sure I would find out in a week what had happened.

Ten minutes later we were pulling up in front of the Hale's house. There was an enormous Red Jeep with a nice lift kit parked in the driveway. I had never seen that car around town before. Written on the back window in white shoe polish there was the saying "THE EMINATOR CAN MAKE CHUCK NORRIS CRY". I chuckled at that, it must be their cousin or something Jasper thought those Chuck Norris-isms were hilarious. Just the other day he sent me a text message that said, "Spiderman, Batman & Superman all wear Chuck Norris Pajamas". I watched as Alice danced to the porch and knocked on the door before I had even made a move to get out of the car being the fast little one she is.

Rose answered the door and appeared to be upset with my dear sister. I hope it wasn't my fault I know Rose is not particularly fond of me, because I had turned down the date that Alice I am sure tried to set up between us again. Rose did not take rejection easily.

As I walked up I vaguely heard something about introducing us to some childhood friends. We entered into the family room and there I saw a gorgeous brown-eyed brunette playing Halo, okay so she wasn't really playing she was crouched behind a wall waiting for someone to come her way. My jaw dropped as she pounced from her hiding spot, armed with a shotgun and shot a whole in someone's players stomach

I thought that I heard the big guy sitting in front of the couch with his back to her mumble something that sounded like "what the hell?!?!" But he turned around and looked at the girl with her chocolate doe-y eyes………hmm that brown eyed girl song by Van Morrison came to mind…she was laughing and god that was an angel's laugh. That's it!! I'm dead!!! Tanya killed me!! She had to have killed me with a can of Chicken Noodle Soup!!! That is the only explanation for this goddess sitting in front of me. What other explanation could there be??

Then the big guy yelled, " I should have known it was you Bella!!! " Her name is Bella…great………..Wait how did he know her name? Was that her boyfriend?

"Jasper was using military tactics on me earlier but that hiding and ambushing from behind is your favorite move!" He had spent time with her before yes definitely had to be her boyfriend. Great just my luck gorgeous and taken

"ARGH!!!! Beaten AGAIN by my little sister!" Ah so there is a god!? This guy was her brother then she opened her mouth and spoke and her heavenly voice was even more beautiful than her laugh.

"Well Emmett if you didn't want me beating you maybe you shouldn't have forced me to learn how to play with you when no one else was around." In true sisterly form she stuck her tongue at him, then laughed at his expressionless face.

"WOW" slipped out of my mouth. Crap your moment to make an impression with articulation and your witty response to what she just did is wow!!! I slapped my forehead mentally that was genius of you moron! Wonderful, I am so glad you have and edjamication derrrr!!! Might as well lick a window while I am at it.

Rose formally introduced us to Bella and she shook my hand. I could have sworn that when she placed her hand in mine there was a slight shock or current that went through my hand to my arm. So her name was Isabella Swan? Swan a graceful beautiful bird. Shy but elegant at the same time, its strange but I think it suited her.

Then I saw Emmett stand up and he was a monster. I mean if he was the one they called the "eminator" then he definitely could make Chuck Norris cry, hell I think I was starting to tear up right now.

"Holy crow! Emmett please tell me you are going to play football. DUDE you are HUGE! I could use you as a blocker." The guy was ginormous!! Suddenly I was scared this is Bella's older, bigger, with more muscles then schwarzenegger himself, brother. He could seriously inflict some hurt on someone who rubbed him the wrong way. CRAP! I mentally shouted he would never allow me near here once he found out about my reputation. Alice warned me that this would one day come back and bite me in the ars!

Emmett laughingly replied, "Yeah man I plan on playing. I hope the coach will let me on the team since I just moved here, my dad and I are going to the school on Monday to talk to the coach and get registered."

Alice asked if they were going to the movies with us. I found myself hoping that they were going. I wanted to stare at those brown eyes some more…….."My brown-eyed girl, you my brown-eyed girl, do you remember when we used to sing sha la la la la la ti da" Wow Edward singing to ourselves now? Van Morrison had to have written that song with Bella in mind. Her voice pulled me out of my thoughts.

"Oh no Alice, I just ended my brother's game because we need to get home before our mom sends Chief Swan searching for us, and the damage we may have inflicted on this town."

I couldn't help but laugh and smile at this gorgeous creature. I noticed Alice giving me a funny look from the corner of my eye but I paid her no mind. Because Bella had locked eyes with me. YES! I mentally screamed the eyes it's the eyes!! The girls always go for the eyes. Score time to do a happy dance!

"Ugh…..yeah munchkin" She isn't a munchkin she is beautiful. "We better get going before mom lays a golden egg. We will catch you guys later, I am sure all you know where the "new kids" live since we seem to be the highlight of everyone's year around here." She certainly was the highlight of mine "so you guys should stop by whenever you want. Jazz here has my number" he patted Jasper's back "we will see you guys later"

Ok now I am dead not only could her brother hurt me for some of the thoughts going through my head but if he didn't get the job done well then "Daddy" could jump out point his shot gun at you, and show you how to play Halo in real life…..

Alice walked over to me with a smirk on her face and a knowing look in her eyes and started dancing while singing. " She got you tripping, stumbling, flipping, crumbling, so clumsy cause your falling in love…….." . She giggled then turned around and I noticed that Jasper and Rose were trying to disguise their laughs as coughs. I admit my sister doing the rockaway and singing clumsy by Fergie was a little amusing. But I think she may have been right. I decided to go to the movies with them. I was trying to keep my mind from wondering back to the beautiful young lady that I had met today. By the end of the night as I lay in bed I knew that was one more goal I was failing miserably at.
