Disclamer: i own no characters, i just tweek the plot!

ok, i know i said i would have the park scene in this chapter, but it would be too long. sorry. i will probably have that chapter up tomorrow or the next day :)

I just stared at Jessica for a moment, waiting till she said something.

"Is it true, Bella?" Eh?

"Umm… is what true?"

"Silly Bella, you know what I'm talking about." She poked me in the arm.

I stared at her for about a minute. "This would go a lot faster if you just told me."

She sighed. "That you and Jasper Hale are going out."

I stared at her in shock. Then I laughed out loud, she looked mad. "No. Where did you get that idea."

"Well," she took a deep breath, "Stephanie told Sarah, who told Megan, who told Ashley to tell Marissa to tell Lucy, who told Monica to tell Lauren to tell me to ask you if it was true, because Monica told Lauren that Lucy said that Marissa said..."

I had to stop her from talking. My brain was turning to mush. "Jessica! Stop! Just get to the point."

She huffed. "Fine! Are you or aren't you going to meet Jasper in a couple of hours?"

"I am, but we have this friendly bet going on. We are nothing more than FRIENDS." I said that last sentence very slowly; just to make sure she got it.

"Mmhmm." She said to herself, probably thinking I couldn't hear, or maybe she did. "Anyway, I'll see you later Bella." She waved and walked away.

I turned to finally get my stuff out of my locker. I wonder if it's just jealous, snobby girls who think that.

I had to keep telling myself that I didn't really like him, and that I would never think of him as more than a friend.

When I got home I ran through the and up the stairs after I got the door open. I threw my school crap on my bed and ran downstairs. I had about an hour and a half until I had to go to the Cullen's.

I went to the kitchen and grabbed a notepad, to make a grocery list. I rummaged through the fridge and cabinets to see just what little we had. I was about to make a quick run to the store. I opened the door and realized that I had no place to put all the groceries.

Maybe I could get Jasper to take me.

I smiled to myself and headed back inside.

I spent the next hour fixing my hair and watching tv. There wasn't really anything on, so I watched re-runs of "My Name Is Earl".

After the second episode, I decided to leave. I was half driving for about 5 minutes when I figured out I had no idea where I was going.

I pulled over, and took out my cell phone. Conveniently, Alice added her number today. She said to call whenever I needed anything. It's like she knew something like this would happen.

I scrolled through the address book and stopped at "ALICE 3". Silly girl. I chuckled to myself and hit the talk button.

"Hello?" Alice's unmistakable voice answered.

"Hi, hi Alice, it's Bella."

"Oh, hi Bella! What can I do you for?"

"I'm in need of instruction and assistance."

She chuckled. "What cha do Bella?"

I smiled to myself. "I kinda got lost. Where exactly is your house?"

She laughed. "Where are you now?"

I looked around. "Well, I'm standing in front of the library."

"Wow, I have no idea how you ended up there. Here's what you need to do…"

About 15 minutes later, I was pulling up to "The Cullen Mansion" as I like to call it.

Alice came out and greeted my with a smirk and a hug. "Hey, Bella. I'm glad you found the house ok."

"Oh hardy-harr-harr Alice." I smiled at her. "So are you gonna let me in?"

"Naw, I thought I would let you wait out here." She smiled back. She grabbed my hand and pulled me inside.

I whistled. "Whoa, damn Alice. This is some house!"

She looked at me, amused. "Would you like to look around?"

"That's like asking if you're wearing a cute outfit." I smiled at her.

She winked. "I guess we'll have to go shopping together sometime."

"Heck, yes! That would be so much fun!" I did a little happy dance.

"Oh man, not another one." I deep voice came from the other room.

"What are you talking bout Emmett?" I turned to the voice.

He walked towards me and shook in mock fear. "A… shopaholic!"

"Oh, haha." I glared at him. It must have been scary because he shrunk back.

"Wow, Bella. You must teach me how to do that sometime." Well there was a voice I haven't heard yet.

"Oh. Hello, Rosalie. I'll show you sometime then." I smiled at her. I still wasn't sure if she liked me of not.

She smiled warmly at me and held out her hand, I shook it. That proves nothing.

I turned to look around the room. It was huge and really spacious, like they had some of the walls. The whole back wall was a window overlooking a huge backyard and the mountains beyond. There was a big staircase to the right of the front door too.

Who I assumed was Ms. Cullen, walked down the stair as I was looking. She had soft looking caramel hair. And pleasant heart shaped face and again the pale skin and topaz eyes. She was really beautiful.

"Hello, I don't think we have met yet. I'm Esme." She held out her hand, just like Rosalie had.

I took her outstretched hand and shook it. "I'm Bella."

"Nice to meet you Bella, and welcome to my home." She smiled.

"And what a gorgeous home it is." I told her.

She kept smiling. "I'm sorry my husband, Carlisle, isn't home."

"Oh, pish-posh, that's ok." I smiled at them all. "Well I do believe I have a bet with Jasper, where is he by the way?" I looked at them all.

Everyone was looking at the other doorway behind me. I turned around to see the man in question, leaning against the wall, smiling.

"You, mister, are you ready to loose a bet?" I said while walking up to him.

He just laughed. "Is that so?"

"Yes it is! You are soooo going down!" I pointed at him.

He got off the wall and got in my face. "We'll see about that, wont we Swan."

"Got that right Hale. I'm gonna win, I'm gonna win…" I did a little dance around him.

Behind me, I heard Emmett whispering. "I like her." I then heard a slapping sound. "Hey!"

I looked over at them. I skipped over to Emmett and curtsied in front of him. "Why thank you."

He smirked and so did everyone else.

"Okay, so back to business. Change of plans, Jasper." I turned to him now. "I have to go shopping. Charlie has absolutely no food in the house, and I must go buy some. I only have my bike and that wont let me hold anything. Could you take me?" I gave him the puppy dog face. To my surprise, someone else answered behind me.

I turned to look at the person who spoke. "Rosalie?"

"Yeah, you don't mind do you?" She smiled at me.

"No not at all."

"Hey, I wanna go too." Of course Emmett wouldn't want to be left out.

"Go where?" I didn't know who asked that and I looked at all of them, no one spoke.

It was silent for a while, so I though I would break it. "To go watch Jasper totally loose a bet we made, and to take me shopping." I wondered why everyone started to act so weird when he walked in.

He looked at me funny for a moment, and they smirked. "We have another shopaholic among us now, do we?"

"I know right! I just hope she isn't as bad as blondie over here." Emmett said, gesturing, with his had, towards Rosalie.

Rosalie grabbed that hand, twisted it behind his back and threw him to the ground. It was extremely funny to watch. I burst out laughing and everyone stared at me. Alice soon joined in and then spread throughout the room.

I leaned down to Emmett, who was still on the floor. "Wow Emmett, looks like you got knocked the… frik down." I changed my word when I saw the look on Esme's face. "I honestly didn't think that could happen. I guess now I truly know you're a kitten at heart."

I stood up, along with Emmett, who I will now refer to as "Squishy Bear", because of his soft inside and bear-like outside.

Its strange, I just met these people, and it feels like I belong, we were all laughing and joking like we've know each other our whole lives. I liked it.

"Ok, Rosalie I'll teach you the stare, if you teach me that. Like what you did to Squishy Bear here." I pointed to Emmett.

"Squishy Bear?" Jasper asked. Emmett raised his eyebrow and Esme, Alice and Rosalie were giggling.

"Yep, that's what I'm going to call Emmett from now on." I told them all.

"Why Squishy Bear?"

"Because, he looks like a bear on the outside and looks like he would act like one, but if Rosalie, a smaller person can just throw him to the ground, he must really be soft. So now he is Squishy Bear. But luckily for you, I'm going to change it." I smiled evilly at him.

"Thanks Bella." He said, relieved.

"You are now Fluffy Bear." I smiled at him.

Jasper and Edward chuckled, Alice and Rosalie laughed really hard and Esme hid her giggles behind her hand.

When everyone stopped laughing, I thought I would get the show on the road. "So, now that Fluffy Bear is situated, why done we run along to the store now?"

They agreed.

"I get to drive." Rosalie stated.

"SHOTGUN!" Fluffy Bear and I said it at the same time, but I glared at him. "Ok, Bella's got shotgun." He mumbled.

"Have fun you guys, and be safe." Esme said when we left for the garage.

I followed Rosalie, Jasper and Fluffy, out to the garage. Alice and Edward said they had something else to do, so they weren't coming.

Man, their garage it like an episode of cribs! I stopped dead in my tracks. I saw my car. My dream car, that is. It would be the first thing I got if I were to win the lottery. A Mustang GT!

"I hate you people." I muttered.

They all looked at me. They didn't hear me did they? I though I said it very quietly.

"Why Bella?" Jasper asked.

"You have my car. MY CAR! The only one I would want! A Mustang GT with candy apple red paint and black racing stripe." I walked over to it. "And it has red leather seats!"

Emmett started a round of laughs.

"That's my car." Rosalie said while I was tracing my hand over the hood.

"I absolutely hate you and your life." I told her. Her eyes went a shade darker, but she recovered quickly.

"Hmm… maybe I'll even let you drive it one day. Or, maybe not." She winked at me.

"Can we go now?" Yeesh, I can tell Fluffy Bear is a handful, so impatient.

They led me to a black Cadillac Escalade. I guess they knew I would need the space. "Well damn, you people make me feel sooooo poor. I wish I had this kind of money." I pouted in the passenger seat.

"Yea Bella, we dohave the good life." Emmett said from the back. Why did he say life like that?

Jasper smacked him in the back of the head. "Hey! You guys do know that hurts, right?" Rosalie and Jasper ignored him.

"Ugh, Fluffy, no need to rub it in."

"Ok, so tell me more about this bet of yours." Rosalie said, changing the subject.

"Well, its not really a bet, because I know he wont do it. Anyway, you know the little thing I did in lunch?"

"Yea, and that was hilarious." Fluffy said.

"Anyway, I told him I thought that he couldn't do something like that in public, and he said he could, and would." I told them both.

"Which I can." Jasper interrupted.

"As I was saying, before I was rudely interrupted." I looked pointedly at Jasper. "We set up a plan, and I told him that we were going to do it in the park, where I'll make him do something."

They laughed. "Wow Bella, I don't think I have seen Jazzy Boy here make a fool of himself in public in a while." Emmett said, punching Jasper in the arm.

"Jazzy Boy?" I asked.

"Oh, very funny Bella." Jasper narrowed his eyes at me.

"Ok so we have Fluffy Bear, and now I dub thee, Jazz." I pointed at Jasper.

"Well, hey, that's not that bad." He said, smiling. Such a beautiful smile. No! you don't like him Bella, stop thinking stuff like that!

"Hey Rosalie?" I looked at her.

She was smiling. "Yes Bella?"

"Do you mind if I call you Rose?"

She chuckled. "Sure Bella, sure."

"Thanks. No offence, but Rosalie is just so long to say." I winked at her.

Emmett didn't like that I asked her and was whining.

We were laughing and having fun when we pulled into the store parking lot.

I really thought Rosalie didn't like me, but apparently I was long. I wonder what's with her at lunch though. But now she is becoming one of my best friends.

Jessica is so annoying isn't she!

i know Rosalie is suppose to not like Bella, but i like her character too much to have her be the mean one. i made that person Edward. He really has no problem with Bella, its just that he doesnt think they should associate with humans.
