Chapter 3

Bella's POV

Alice ended up picking me up at six to go to her house as she said finding her house was hard and it would be easier if she just picked me up. When she beeped her horn I looked out the window and was shocked by the car she was driving. It was a shiny, expensive Porsche. Wow I couldn't believe it I knew her family must be well off considering the clothes she wore but I never expected they were that rich... especially living in Forks.

I walked outside and jumped in the car.

"Bella" Alice squealed and hugged me

"Hey…I like your car"

"Thanks it's new" she said as though she was talking about a new jacket

"So are you excited?" she asked starting the car.

"Yeah it should be good."

After about 15 minutes we turned into a driveway that I would have driven straight passed if i was driving. The driveway went for awhile until Alice pulled up next to a house which could be only described as a mansion. I was right Alice's parents must be incredibly rich.

"So Rose should be here soon and then we'll order the pizzas" Alice told me as we walked up the front steps

"Ok" I replied as we walked into the kitchen. I stoped suddenly when I spotted a tall, beautiful, blonde man who looked like a model.

"Hey Dad" Alice said excitedly "This is my friend Bella I was talking about"

Oh my God I was just thinking how hot her father was. How embarrassing.

"Hi Bella nice to meet you"

"y…you too Mr Cullen" I stammered

"Please call me Carlisle" he said pleasantly smiling at me

"Ok Carlisle" I smiled back. He seemed nice

We chatted to Carlisle for a couple of minutes where he asked me about my father and about Phoenix.

While we were talking a beautiful woman walked in who I was sure was Alice's mother.

"Mum this is Bella" Alice said walking over to her





"Oh hi Bella. Alice hasn't been able to stop taking about you since she met you yesterday"

I blushed I wasn't used to all this attention



"Hi nice to meet you" I replied quietly

"Well Alice, your Mum and I are leaving now for dinner. We trust you will be well behaved?"

"Of course Daddy don't be silly" Alice replied rolling her eyes.

"Well Emmett's out with Jasper and his friends but Edward will be around so see if he wants any dinner ok Alice" Carlisle said seriously looking at Alice with something in his eyes which I didn't understand

But I didn't think about it much all I could think of was crap Edward was home I hoped I didn't do anything embarrassing.

"Ok Dad" Alice said a bit reluctantly

Hmm I wondered what was up with that.

Rose arrived just after her parents left so I didn't get a chance to ask Alice about it.

"So what pizzas do you want to order? I'm starving" Rose said soon after they she had arrived.

We decided on what pizzas to order and they arrived quickly.

"So Bella what do you think of Forks so far?" Rose asked me as sat around the kitchen table eating the pizza.

"Its better then I thought it would be" I said honestly "And I'm really happy to have met you two"

"Aw Bella we feel the same way" Alice said patting my hand

I laughed.

"So seen any boys you like" Alice asked

Yeah your brother I imagined saying

"No not yet" I said warily.

We were talking and eating when suddenly Edward walked through the door. We all stopped talking. He stood there for a moment looking at me with what looked like horror on his face.

After a moment Alice broke the silence

"Bella this is my brother Edward, Edward this is my new friend Bella"

"Hey" I said nervously after he didn't respond. I couldn't help but to stare into his beautiful eyes.

He looked down not meeting my eyes and nodded so tiny I could barley see his head move.

I heard Alice sigh.

"There's some pizza here Edward. Help yourself" she said passing him a plate

He nodded again just as he had before and took the plate. I reached for my drink just as he was reaching for some pizza. Our arms brushed against each other. And he jumped away from me as though in revulsion. I looked up at him and saw a look of…anger on his face. What was wrong with him it was just my arm. I looked down embarrassed and starting to feel angry myself.

"Edward. What are you doing?" Alice asked looking at him in frustration

"Nothing…sorry" he said but I wasn't listening all I could think about was why he was being so rude. He didn't say anything else and hastily left the room.

Edward's POV

I had left the music store, after I knew my parents would have left for work, and I came back home. I spent the day playing piano and finishing an English essay which was so easy I could have done it in my sleep.

I was starting to feel hungry. I knew Carlisle and Esme were going out to dinner and I doubted Alice and Emmett were home so I would have to get my own dinner. This suited me just fine.

As I was walking down to the kitchen I could hear voices. I really didn't want to have to make small talk with Alice's friends but I was really hungry so I took a deep breath and walked into the kitchen. As I walked in the voices stopped.

Oh crap I thought to myself. How ironic I had spent the whole day trying to avoid the new girl and there she was… in my house.

She was sitting at the kitchen table with Alice and Rose all of them eating pizza and looking happy. They all looked at me as I walked into the room. My hands started to sweat as I looked into her deep eyes. Once again I felt a desire to run from the room. What was going on? This was so far out of my depth.

Alice looked up at me warily as though she was wondering what I was going to do. Rose just had her usual bitch face on that she always had when she looked at me but the other girl, whose name I still didn't know, had a look which I couldn't decipher.

After a slightly awkward pause Alice cleared her throat and looked towards the girl.

"Bella this is my brother Edward, Edward this is my new friend Bella"

So her name was Bella.

"Hey" Bella replied quietly looking at me with the same unknown look.



I nodded briefly at her, not meeting her eyes, knowing what they did to me.

Alice sighed.

"There's some pizza here Edward. Help your self" she said passing me a plate

I nodded again and took the plate. I walked around the table reaching over to grab a couple of slices I had to reach around Bella to get them. As I did she moved to pick up her drink and her arm brushed against mine. I jumped at the unexpected contact nearly dropping my plate. She looked at me surprised. My face must have shown my frustration because she looked away quickly and started to blush.

"Edward. What are you doing?" Alice asked frustrated

"Nothing…sorry" I wanted to explain that she had just surprised me. But Alice and Rose were looking at me furiously so I decided to drop it and leave before I made an even bigger mess of things.

I walked quickly out of the room an unfamiliar burning sensation on my face.
