I rubbed my eyes and yawned. Time for school. I rushed to the bathroom to take a shower before my mom could. I brushed my teeth and straightened my long brown hair. I put some mascara on that my best friend insisted I wear. I got to school right as the first bell rang and in my first class I sat by Edward. He still almost looked the same as the first day I met him. He wasn't chubby anymore, he still had his crazy hairdo, but it suited him now. As I walk walked towards him he looks me up and down, raising his eyebrows, and smiled his crooked smile. His smile makes me smile. The gap he had in 3rd grade disappeared gradually over time. Every girl around him swoon over his perfection.

"Nice." he smirked at me. When I sat down he scooted his chair closer to me "What are we going to do today?" he asked quickly, probably embarrassed for his comment. He asked me this everyday though, because we hung out every single day almost after school last year. Not a day went by this summer that he didn't call or I didn't call him to see what we should do. We even had an event for nearly every day of the week, which reminded me of what today was. His favorite.

"Isn't today 'Mall Monday'?" I laughed at the expression on his face. Mall Monday was definatly his least favorite day that we spent together, but I always tried to go easy on him.

"Yes. It is." he practically growled. "It's the first day of school and were finally Seniors but we have to go to the mall and shop!" he grimaced.

"Yep." I said cheerfully. "We could just go to a music shop though since you know I don't really like shopping either. Only Alice makes me shop." He smiled at this and we turned to the teacher, who had started welcoming us to our last year of school. My life has gone in a flash, and there's nothing I can do about it!

We had every class together and we sat side by side through all of them. The first day flew by and we were free from our first day of hell. Alice said she would drop off my truck, so Edward and I took his Volvo.

We drove Edward style, fast, to Port Angeles. There was a small mall there and the only thing we both enjoyed there was the Music Shop. We went our separate ways to find what music we like. I decided to sit down on one of the many couches they had there and listen to a few songs of My Chemical Romance. I put in the headphones and laid back. Music was my escape, it let me forget the real world and get into my own world full of music. After the CD was over with it was getting late so I thought I'd go find Edward so we could catch a movie or something. I searched through the store until I heard his velvety voice singing one of my favorite songs.

"Can I break away? Push me away. Make me fall just to see, another side of me…" I laughed when I turned the corner to find him lying on the couch, eyes closed, earplugs in, guitar in hand, and singing! I've never seen Edward even sing before and now this? Haha. I walked over to him without him noticing me and sat down by his head. He plucked the guitar at a few of the notes, so I knew what part of the song he was at. I don't know what got into me and I started singing along quietly, but I guess loud enough for him to hear. His eyes flew open and were as big as saucers. Maybe it was because our faces were inches apart…

"How long have you been there?" he shouted flinging his head back and hitting on the back of the couch. He set the guitar down fast and turned away from me.

"Long enough!" I laughed. "You have a beautiful voice, you know?" I grabbed his chin and pulled his face around to look me in the eye. That's when I realized he was embarrassed. His pale cheeks were now a light color of pink. I held back laughter and failed.

"I don't know what's so funny." he growled giving me a death glare. I pulled back holding my hands by my head, palms out, surrendering.

"Sorry! It's just funny to see you blush because it seems like I'm the only one. Anyways you always laugh at me when I blush!" I accused.

He sighed and stood up, his blush had faded away and he was as pale as usual. "Fine. You wanna go to a movie or something different?" he asked holding his hand out for me. I nodded and happily took his soft hand in mine.

We chose the stupidest movie we saw and bought our tickets to the Grudge 2. The movie was about to start when we entered so we took our seats. Halfway through the movie I was basically in Edward's lap and my face buried in his neck.

"Why didn't you tell me it was a scary movie?!" I yelled at him, then receiving glares and shushes from two boys trying to watch the movie.

Edward merely shrugged. I kind of liked the position I was in…it was comfortable and I needed comfort. He told me that the scary part was over so I started getting up to go back to my seat.

"You can stay here if you want?" Edward asked giving me one of his beautiful crooked smiles. I nodded, and we continued watching the film. When it was over he picked me up cradle style and walked out to the lobby with me in his arms. He finally set me down and grabbed my hand and we started walking to his Volvo. Before we got there a strawberry blonde walked in front of us and battered her eyelashes at Edward. I sighed in frustration and rolled my eyes. Here we go again.

"Hey, hot stuff." she said in a seductive tone. "You wanna hang out some time?" Edward looked down at me pleadingly, and I did my job that I've done tons of times before. She apparently didn't 'notice' me until I cleared my throat and stepped in front of Edward and got in her face.

"Sorry, he's mine. Actually, me and Eddie have some stuff to do so I would back off if I were you." I glared at her and she glared back. Edward cleared his throat and I looked back up at him. As we walked away I elbowed her in the ribs. Hard. She gasped and walked away fast throwing her snobby little nose in the air. I smiled to myself and Edward quietly thanked me. He looked behind us and then leaned in and kissed my forehead, smiling. I looked back after that, but she wasn't there. What was the kiss for then? I shook it off and we climbed back in the car to head back to Forks.
