Well here is chapter 5 in A Totally Different Story


Want to know what's really wierd? Well, even though all the time I've been here with my parents at Ocean Shores and have gone to the beach for all these days, I am kind of excited about going to the beach today with Edward. It is now 10:35am and I am having trouble deciding what to wear: my red and black one piece suit, my blue and brown striped two piece, or should I just wear shorts and a tank top and forget about even getting in any water? Why is this such a big deal anyway? It is just so annoying that I have feelings (however small they may be) for this guy I met a week ago. Ugh.

Somebody is knocking at the door and it is probably my dad who forgot the key the resort people gave him. This morning my parents decided to go to eat breakfast at a nearby resturant and they asked me to go with them but I was too tired to get up. Lazy old me. So they had gone without me.

I open the door and get a bit of a surprise. Edward is on the other side of the door and when I opened up the door he smiled at me.

"Hey, it's you. I actually thought it was going to be my dad at the door but its not. Anyway..." I realized that I am kind of rambling just a bit too late.

"Uh, well hi. The last time I checked I wasn't your dad, but I don't know. Let's think. Um..." he actually looked deep in thought, but then again he was practically fighting himself to keep from smiling.

"Now you're making fun of me? And here I was thinking that you were a nice person," I said in mock horror.

"I am the nicest person ever."

"If you say so. Come on in," I said.

Edward sat down on a sofa and I told him that I would be right back and then I raced to put on my blue and brown bathing suit and then I put my shorts amd tank top on over it and raced back out. Wow, I accomplished this is under 2 minutes.

"Hey, I'm back," I announced.

"Ok, lets go," he said. So then we started towards the beach.

"Thanks for coming with me Olivia."

"All my friends call me Livvy and anyways it was no problem. I usually have been at the beach the past days that we've been here."

"Well, you came with me and right now it is nice to have somebody who doesn't mind your company and think of you only as an irritation."

"I like you company very much, and besides what are friends for?"

"Friends...well you're my only one. Thanks."

"You're only friend? All those other guys in our classes aren't your friends?"

"Not really, I've only known them for a few days so we're more of classmates than friends.

"Um... you've only known me for a few days, also."

"I know but it seems like I've known you longer. I have gotten to know you better than I know your other friends and it seems like we are more alike then I am to them. I guess that doens't make sense to you because you have had those friends at school for many years before I got here"

Wow. If anybody could sum up what I was feeling Edward Mason could, because the feelings that I had when I first saw him at my door this morning were the exact same ones he just described. It's like I know him better than other people that I have known for half of my life. We are very similar and yet different at the same time.

"That makes perfect sense to me. We are the same and different and we probably do have a lot in common. It's like I'm saying toe-mato and you say toe-moto. It's the same thing in the end, but just has a different point of view, " I replied.

"Exactly. " he agreed.

"Edward Mason you are different and one of a kind. I like that. It seperates you from all those other people that I hang out with."

"The same goes for you."

That afternoon went by too quickly and the next thing I knew Edward and I were walking back toward our families at the resort building.

The rest of the week Edward was here and we spent a lot of time with each other. We played 20 questions a few times and I learned a lot about him. But then I had to go back to Forks and Edward was supposed to stay for another week at the beach because of his father's job thingy. I think that I like Edward first as a friend and not so much in a lusty way. I would want him to be my brother and not necessarily my boyfriend or husband (HA! as if that would ever happen!). It is funny how you like or dislike somebody by the way they look but when you look inside them you can, then and only then, really discover who they truly are. You can't judge a book by its cover and I judged Edward that exact way. I really think that Edward is more than a friend, maybe he's like a missing brother or the other half of me. It is like we are connected and were supposed to meet. Hmm...


A/N: The next chapter will be up soon ( like within the next week or so) and Olivia will learn a few things about herself and her parents. It will be a much longer chapter and takes longer to type but i will get it posted as soon as possible. R&R
