A/N: I'm back! Sorry but the chapters might not be going up as quickly, I have a very important exam to study for! Also, if this isn't the best quality, I apologize – I am trying to write it super quickly for your enjoyment!

Edward's POV:

We only played the guitar for about thirty minutes before I noticed that Bella was wincing every time that she had to pluck a string and I proposed that we'd have a break.

"Sure!" she said, smiling.

"I'll just warm up the garlic bread, okay?" I asked before walking briskly into the warm kitchen so that she wouldn't protest. Her garlic bread can't be that bad.

I whistled cheerfully as I got out the garlic bread and stuck it in the microwave. Bella was one of the best students I'd ever had. She didn't whine that her fingers hurt, she had a sense of humor, and best of all, she didn't have a not-so-secret crush on me.

And besides, she was pretty cute, with her big eyes and pretty smile.

The microwave pinged and I took out the garlic bread, confused.

Garlic bread usually smells great, or at least garlicky. This one smelled like… chocolate?

I tried my hardest to smile and I walked back into the living room.

"Are you really sure you want to eat it?" Bella asked nervously.

"Is there something I should know?"

"No!" she practically shrieked before composing herself and saying, "No, of course not."

But the way she was anxiously fiddling with one of her earrings I could tell she was lying.

"Well," I said, clapping my hands together, "let's eat!"

"Actually, I have to talk to you about… the guitar." Bella mumbled quickly.

"Bella," I said, looking into her eyes, "why do you think your garlic bread is that bad? Look, I bet they're really good!"

I took a big bite and swallowed it before smiling and saying, "And I was right!"

The garlic bread tastes like someone's dipped the garlic into chocolate before making it. I'm not sure if I like it that much.

"Seriously?" She says doubtfully, but I can see that she's glad. It's the only thing that gets me eating the entire garlic bread and taking another one. And another one. And another one.

After I've eaten five pieces I wipe my hands on a napkin and suggest trying to play the guitar again. She smiles and says that she'd love to, but when she thinks I'm not looking she looks at the blisters on her hands.

"I can see that your hands hurt, Bella. How about we try again next Saturday?"

Bella looks up and only then I notice how pretty she looks when she's blushing. I blink in surprise. Blushing? Usually a girl doesn't look very nice when she's blushing, but Bella looked beautiful.

"Okay," she said, smiling sheepishly.

"But I have homework for you!" I blurt out. "But I left it at school. So how about you pick Nessie up on Monday and you come to my office?"

"I'll do that."

"So. I'll see you then!" I say happily, and then I help her put her guitar in its case and I walk her to the door, smiling politely all the while.

"See you!" I say, and then I close the door.

Wow.

I think I like her.

And now I have to make something to give to her as homework.

I'm smiling without realizing it. Seems like I have a new friend who I think is pretty. Tanya would not be pleased.

That's my last thought before I run to the bathroom and throw up the garlic bread.

Not my best chapter, is it? Sorry, I promise that the next one will be better! But there won't be such a long break, I can tell you that. Maybe tomorrow? Thank you to all the lovely reviewers, you are the best! R&R :D
