The way Edward had said 'Let's play' sent a shiver down my spine. I liked it, though. I didn't know what Alice was planning, but I suddenly felt the urge to play, too.

"Are you ready, Bella?" Jasper asked, smiling kindly.

"I suppose I am."

"Okay, then, let's start!" Alice shouted in glee.

I hoped her loud voice didn't disturb the other Cullens who might be trying to sleep.

"Shouldn't we try to be quiet? I mean, the others must be trying to sleep."

"Oh, they won't mind," she replied, not even trying to lower her voice.

"Anyways, should we get started?" Edward asked with a bit of impatience in his voice.

"Will do!" Alice said, turning to face me. "Truth or dare, Bella?"

I didn't have to think before answering. "Truth."

"So, Bella, how old are you?"

Edward and Jasper both threw Alice a glance.

"Seventeen," I replied, thankfully- that was an easy question.

Alice nodded, smiling happily while Edward shifted from his position uncomfortably.

"Your turn!" She sang at me.

"Um…okay. I am not very good at this, though," I warned. "Who do I ask?"

"Edward," she replied.

Now I was the one uncomfortable.

"Truth or dare?" I asked with my eyes on my hands.

"Truth," he replied.

"Hmmm…" I thought. "I told you I wasn't very good at this, but how old are you?"

He was grinning when he answered. "Seventeen."
It was dark in the living room, but it didn't look dark enough to hide the fact that he had made me blush by simply smiling so…

"Your turn, Edward," Jasper told him.

"Alice, Alice, Alice…" He shook his head with a wicked grin. "Truth or dare?"

"No!" Alice screamed in horror. "Not that!"

"I have to. Truth or dare?" he asked again.

"Dare," she chose.

"I dare you to not talk during the rest of the game."

She didn't seem surprised, but she did say something before silencing herself. "You'll pay for this, Edward Cullen."

"Oh, Alice, this means you won't be able to go," I said innocently, but her heart broken face made me see she knew I was happy she wasn't going. "I guess it's Jasper's turn, then."

Jasper had been quiet most of the game. "Truth or dare, Bella?"

"Me! Oh, yeah…um…truth." I was sort of scared about choosing dare, but I knew if I didn't they would probably think I was no fun for only choosing truth.

"What did you first think about us when you met us?"

I looked at Alice, she was playing with Jasper's hair, moving her lips only a little as if she were talking.

"When I first saw you, I was dumbfounded. I had never in my life seen anybody as…handsome and beautiful. It was almost a year ago, and yet it still surprises me how perfect you look. All of you. It seems weird, since you are all adopted- aside from Rosalie and Jasper. Even Dr. Carlisle looks better than any movie star I've ever seen," I confessed. "And Rosalie, she's really beautiful. Emmett, he's big but still looks handsome the way he is. And you three look like people from magazines. I'm feeling like an outcast.

"The first time I introduced myself to you was because I thought you impressive, different, and for some reason I knew I was different, too. I thought maybe I could fit in with you. I don't even know why I just told you all that."

They were staring at me.

Alice scooted closer to me so she was able to give me a hug. She felt cold, but I loved that she cared about me.

"You're not the outcast," she assured. "You are only human; I think you fit perfectly at school. Everybody likes you. You have no reason to feel like an outsider."

I looked at Edward, and he had a grin on his face.

"Alice…" he spoke.

"Oops." She was referring to the fact that she had talked during the game. "What happens now?"

"I'll ask her one more question before we go to bed,"Edward said. "Bella, truth or dare?"

This was the last one we were doing so I decided to go for dare. I tried not to act worried, and I knew Edward wouldn't make me do anything I wouldn't want to do. Unlike Alice would have…

"Ha! What are you going to make her- I did it again! Sorry," she apologized.

"Alice, please let me finish," he pleaded, facing Alice. When he turned to me, I held my breath.

"Bella?"

I remembered I was supposed to choose. "Dare."

"I dare you to tell me what you really feel about-"

"You guys are still here? Don't you think the hum- Bella needs sleep?" Rosalie complained. Her beautiful blond hair fell over her right shoulder. She wore simply clothes, but she still seemed like a runway model.

"We were getting to that. Bella just needs to answer the last question," Alice informed her, with noticeable sound of displeasure in her voice.

I yawned unwillingly. "Alice, I am actually kind of tired. Do you think I could answer it another day?" I just hoped it didn't hurt Edward's feelings.

"Fine. If you answer now, who knows if you'll know what you're saying."

Jasper got up and said goodnight before he disappeared upstairs. Rosalie followed, and then Edward. He wasn't smiling, he was frowning.

"Edward, I promise I'll answer you dare when I have a chance. And I also hope we don't do this again. I was pretty bad with the questions," I said. He stood there for a moment with a blank expression. I walked up to him, and had to stand on my tip toes to reach his cheek. I had kissed him goodnight! I didn't know why I felt like I had liked it more than I should…but I did.

He didn't say anything. I could hear Alice squealing behind me. His face was clean from any expression, and for a moment his eyes seemed different.

"Goodnight." I turned away before he saw me blushing. It was Alice who might have given the fact away, because she seemed so happy, squealing like a child.

"Goodnight," I heard his velvet voice say, before he went straight to his room.

I wrote this one kind of late at night so sorry if it's not very creative. I'm really slee(yawwwwwwnnnnnn)py right now. Please review anyways if you can. Thanks:)
