What would you do if you got sucked inside your favorite book? What if it's Twilight? Life imitates art imitates life couldn't be a more fitting line! The story starts off with a regular girl from Southern California, only to suddenly find herself immersed in Stephenie Meyer's book "Twilight".

Be Careful What You Wish For

Chapter 4: In The Flesh ("Bella" 's POV)

I… am freaking late. I think.

After showering and eating some bacon leisurely, I took my time in fixing my bag. Hm.. trigonometry textbook… Spanish workbook… goggles for bio- crosses fingers I hope he isn't there later… But as I turned to check the time, I felt panic and embarrassment attempting to pop a vein.

I'm almost late for school Great.

I had already gotten NOT used to the fact that I didn't need to go to school so friggin early in real life, as I am technically not a high school student anymore (I miss college and my first-class-at-2-pm-weekdays, sniff)

Okay, why embarrassment? Well, I had to thank the hyper pixie for the early morning wakeup call… and that my annoyance wasn't called for. Though she ended a completely perfect dream, completely too early (that can only be justified so much.) Seven in the morning proved to be just early enough for me to start preparing and have enough time till I became late for class.

Where's this Edward when you need him and his speed? Oh lord, I haven't spoken a word to him yet, nor has he to me, and I'm already finding myself needing him. (This is where I'm rolling my eyes at the Twilight-nerd inside me)

I quickly drove to school, making it just minutes before the first bell rang for first period. I made a mental note to thank Alice personally later, during lunch. But before I could even finish making notes in my mind of what to do for the rest of the day…

"Morning, Isabella!" A scream erupted from a nearby yellow - ahem, Porsche. Speak of the devil herself. There she was in all of her five foot flat glory, leaning on the hood of her car. Hyper pixie acting like the Energizer bunny at such an ungodly hour of the day. Vampires, tsk. (rolls eyes) "Good morning. And you can call me Bella, Alice!" I smiled after shouting back to her.

I walked away from Lucy (the Chevy), and towards Alice. I think she was trying to suppress the biggest desire to hug me, or something. At the same time, she beamed, looking as if she were a mother that was so happy her daughter has become friends with her again.

"Okay then, Bella it is!" She beamed even more, if that was humanly possible. Wait, she's a vampire so I guess it is!

"So listen, Alice - thanks for earlier." I then decided to slowly start Operation: Befriending Alice 'Shopping' Cullen.

"For what?" She replied, obviously confused. I was actually expecting her to see this coming. Her ability is to see the future, right? So why does she look like she's genuinely clueless? Needless to say, I was befuddled by this issue, too…

"Um, just earlier - I would've been late if you hadn't called." Hadn't she foreseen my being tardy?

She blinked twice, befuddled herself. "Oh, Bella, you don't need to thank me! I'm just a concerned friend!"

A friend? Wow, she befriends people rather quick, even for a vampire. "Thanks, really, I appreciate it… being new here is somewhat difficult."

Alice just smiled a smile that was kind of emanating the feeling of her trying too hard to hide something. I wonder….

Idea, ding ding ding. Before I could think of what I was doing, I opened my mouth to ask Alice for a favour. "Hey Alice, want to go shopping with me this weekend?" I do need those scarves, turtleneck tops and what not. Alice all but screamed, and looked at me as if I was some talk show host telling her she won a bottomless well full of blood, or something.

"OH, BELLA! Of course, of course!! I'll pick yo-" unfortunately, our conversation was cut short. There goes the warning bell for class. While hurrying into the main building, Alice passed me a note which simply said: CALL ME TONIGHT!! We're gonna schedule! Number's (360) 452-XXXX XoXo.

I had to admit, she is so hyper that it's not hard to get along with her. I think I'm beginning to see the start of a beautiful friendship. I was too consumed in my own thoughts that I didn't notice that I had taken a wrong turn in the numerous buildings of my high school.

Trying to navigate my way back, I had stumbled upon a somewhat secluded area of the campus grounds that was hidden to the public. It looked like a nice spot for a lunch, too, away from the many gawking eyes of the students. Have I mentioned that Tyler is even more annoying than Mike yet? Because he is… like, infinitely so.

Instead of being empty, however, again I found the MVP's of tongue hockey. Mike Newton and Jessica Stanley. It was too early in the morning for this, and so my automatic reaction was to get away from them. "God, those two… Not vampires, but still manage to suck… in more ways than one." I then sighed, as I briskly walked back the way I came. A barely audible chuckle came from the far corner, though.

Turning a corner at full speed wasn't such a good idea. I hit something - or at least felt like it was a thing - face first, quite hard, and almost fell and landed on my butt. Great…. Getting sucked inside a book and breaking my tailbone. Greaaattt… But it dawned on me that I had NOT fallen on my butt, and that a something caught me and was holding on to my torso before I fell.

Scratch that, someone caught me. I immediately looked up and saw a pair of topaz eyes, which were smoldering, for lack of a better adjective, as they looked at me.

I've completely forgotten about Number 8 in the list I made the other night.

I blushed like crazy. Heck, it felt like I just got out of a long, hot dip in a bath tub that had scorching hot water in it. Or felt like I looked like I was stung by millions of bees. That red, folks.

"Are you all right?" said the Adonis with his smooth, velvety voice. Am I seeing things? His voice was relaxed, but he couldn't completely perfect his façade of being in control. I could see that his jaw was clenched, trying not to breathe at all. I was thankful that we were outdoors, with the breeze strong immediately dispersing my scent.

"I… uh… Edwa… wait… why are you? No… uh…" I tried to calm down, again, and form a cohesive sentence. That was proving to be an amazingly difficult task around Edward. Not that I didn't know that in the beginning already…

Edward was still holding me by the small of my back, supporting me. I'm glad I'm shorter than him, otherwise our faces would merely be inches apart horizontally. No way would that be good for my heart - or his safety! (from me)

But he was still dazzling, all right. No need for actual real glitters or bronzers… his skin would have Sephora and all the make up inside the shop, have a run for their money. I literally had to pinch myself to wake up and NOT inspect his skin in awe.

Seconds had passed. No, I did not want him to let go. Are you insane? I think I heard another gasp in the far end of the courtyard, but being dazzled like this kind of kills other senses. I was so entranced by him that I couldn't… couldn't… what's that word?

Oh. Think.

A few more seconds passed. Much to my dismay, my brain still wasn't functioning around him. Dammit. I choked out the only thing that made sense in my mind to tell him, "Don't breathe!"

Man, if eyes could bulge out and fall off, his would. I betcha he could even pull it off and make it into a trend, or something! Okay, enough of such weird ideas. He. Was. Shocked. But since he and I both obviously didn't want to dare to be with each other longer, he didn't press on the matter. Thank God.

"I, uh, sorry - ignore that. Thanks. Um…" He looked at me now with the perfect emotion of calmness on his face. "Could you put me down now?"

As if awaking from his own day dream, he took his arm off of me. Oh you guys have no idea how real the "feeling of loneliness when he lets go of you" really is. It felt like electric currents were passing through me, upon his mere touch. They started from where his hold were, and spread across from there.

"Sorry… Um, sorry about that. What's your name?" Edward stuttered. Again, Edward stuttered. (I feel like giiiiiiiiiiigggling!!)

"Isabellla Swan. But you can call me Bella," I had to continuously pull myself back to reality, that Adonis here was in front of me and that I should, you know, reply back like a human being. "And your name is?"

Yes, oh God yes - he smiled his infamous crooked smile. "Edward Cullen. Sorry about last week, Bella. I know I wasn't the most courteous to you," His smile became smaller, and more apologetic. Oh but the way he said my name… it felt like it just rolled out of his tongue so easily. I guess Bella's body reacts to whatever's Bella's.

"Nice to meet you, Edward Cullen," I stated simply and trying to look calm, fighting back the impulses to run my hand through his hair and trace his luscious looking lips with my finger. I noticed that he made the slightest flinch when I said his first name. (A/N YES I understand this is like, a second introduction. No, it's not redundant. Yes, it'll make sense soon!)

So, fangirls, who else wants to like…. Attack him right then and there? For future reference, that is not a good first/second impression. That's what I kept reminding myself with the voice inside my head. Edward wouldn't be thrilled. Or would he? Hahahha.

"We're late for class," we stated almost simultaneously. He and I instantly cracked up, for what reason, I don't know. When we paused laughing, I was inevitably drawn to staring at him. Ah, it just felt like second nature to gaze at him… and it beats breathing, it never gets exhausting!

He was doing the same, staring at me. Aw man, Bella's so lucky! Oh wait, I'm lucky through her right now. Oh wow. I inevitably started squinting, though. Too sparkly. Yummy jawline. Mmmm, collarbone- crap, my thoughts again. Again, squint.

"Umm, why are you squinting?" asked Edward, looking worried. I immediately blushed, as if on cue and noticed him stopped breathing at the same time.

"Sorry… uh… nothing…" I smiled as if to reassure him. I'm sorry for torturing you like this, I don't mean to. Then the staring contest continued.

We only stopped staring at each other when we saw the pale-as-a-vampire (oh wait, she is a vampire) Alice running towards us, looking shocked.

"You guys all right? I've been assigned as hall monitor but…" Alice said, looking at us, the couple of students looking like we were pulling a Mike-Jess. "I won't even ask, but I'll let you guys get away this time." Alice then continued with a smiled

Unwillingly, I left Edward and started to walk in the direction of my class. I asked Alice where it was and offered to bring me there, but I settled just for directions instead. I then thanked Alice, as I looked back to see Edward's back in the far end of the class. I felt my heart speed up, though I don't know why it did.

Edward headed to his first period class's building, while I headed to mine. Alice stayed to roam the grounds for a bit more, being on guard.

I guess all in all things went rather smoothly.

….and I reckon I should be hyperventilating now that I've finally (!!) met - and talked to - Edward Cullen …. In the flesh. Or whatever it is you call the substance which makes up drop dead gorgeous vampires.

Little did I know that at that very moment, Alice was having panic attacks in her mind, having Edward listen in on her thoughts.

Hey there, gorgeous, I might just drop dead.
