Chapter 13: Uh, he-hello.

I pushed myself through all the people, alrady starting to get annoyed. People of course were stopping me to talk about my new book but I considered myself off the clock, so I just smiled, made up some excuse and kept walking.

"BELLA!" I heard a fimilliar voice scream. I turned to see Alice running to me. She hugged me, her heels only adding a few inches to her short hieght.

"I was worried you weren't going to come!" She said, looking at me pointedly.

"Oh Ali," I sighed dramaticly. Sarcasticly. "I would NEVER miss such a big party for a guy I've NEVER met before."

Alice rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Which reminds me..." She spun me around and pointed at a couple people leaning against the mantle, holding red solo cups and laughing. "That-" She nodded to a guy who was faced away from us. "-is Edward Masen, our friend that just moved here. This party is for him. He's real cool, Bells. You'll love him! He's a high school lit teacher!"

Ha! Knew there was some other reason she wanted me to come so bad.

"Al, I can only stay for a couple minutes and then I have to go..."

She ignored me and kept pushing me towards the group.

"You guys! This is my best friend, Bella Swan! Bella! This is Elezar, Carmen, Maggie, Eric and this... this Edward."

I nodded at everyone with a small smile. Then the guy, Edward, turned to look at us. My eyes widened when he looked at me. He had forest green eyes and copper red hair that was sticking up everywhere. He had a light smile playing on his lips and it made him look so young and boy-ish.

"Hi, Bella. I'm Edward." He stuck his hand out and I grabbed it. My belly flipped and my skin tingled.

"Uh, he-hello." I said nervously. I felt my cheecks heaten and spread down to my chest.

"Nice to meet you." He said smiling wider, showing straight white teeth.

"You too." I smiled back.

"Ek!" Ali squealed from behind us. "I'm gunna let you guys get back to chit chatting. Unless Bells, it's time for you to go..." She smiled.

"Uh, I think I can stay a little while longer." I laughed nervously, shooting her a glance.

"Okay.. well, hey, El, Carmen, Maggs, Eric, come look at this!" She grabbed one of the other girls and then they all took off, leaving me and Edward alone, staring at each other.

"So, uh, you moved here from Chicago?"

He nodded, and leaned against the mantle. "Yeah. But Chicago wasn't really the right place for me. Plus most of my friends and family lives here."

"It's real nice of Ali throwing you a party.."

"Yeah, even though I told her not to bother with it. But you know Alice. She wants any excuess to throw a party." He winked.

Oh my gosh, is it possible for your ovaries to swoon?

"Oh yeah, that's definetly Alice." I giggled.

Yes. Giggled. Oh my gosh, just shoot me now.

I'm Isabella Marie Swan, freaking best selling author. I. Do. Not. Giggle.

Just then, I felt my phone buzzed and gave Edward a quick apologetic smile and held one finger up.

Of course, it was Jessica.

"Hello?" I yelled into the phone, over the noise.

"Bella? Bella! Are you at a club right now?!"

"Jess-no. I'm at-" Someone in the background started yelling chug chug chug! I felt like I was at a fucking frat party.

I tried again, "I'm at Ali's house! At a party!"

"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU AT A PARTY?! YOU SHOULD BE AT HOME WRITING."

I rolled my eyes and put my hand over the speaker of the phone so I could talk to Edward.

"Hey, I'm really sorry, it's my editor. And she's being a pain in the ass. But I'd to love uh, get together some time and talk. I'm sure Ali will give you my number! Bye!"

Edward was barely able to get in a word before I heard Jess start yelling at me again and I turned to leave.

I sighed, knowing this cycle with Jess wasn't going to end anytime soon.

A/N: Ight. Review.

And quick sidenote. Our silly Bella is not a very good flirt. Which is why it's always hard for me to write convos between Ed and Bells. I'd like to be able to use myself and use what I would say to flirt with a guy, but I flirt with EVERY guy that shows a little interest. Which is the complete OPPOSITE our our Authorella. So it's a little hard for me. So if you have any suggestions on certain coversations, please PM me and let me know!

Sorry it's been so long since I updated! School has started yet AGAIN and I'm sure most of yall know how that is... I promise I'm gunna try harder to write and post more often. I know this was suppose to be a drabble meaning it would update often but again, shit happens. I promise I'm trying as hard as I can! So I'll post this one and then chapter 14. And I've started writing 15 and 16. Hopefully by this weekend I'll have at least 20 chapters posted! I love you guys so much, and I really hope you guys stick with me through this long journey!

Okay you know the drill!
