Emmett slapped my back, very pleased that I had beaten Mike Newton out for starting goalkeeper. Today's tryouts had separated the team by position and the assistant coach Mr. Kent, who was also my calculus teacher, took Mike and I aside to run drills. Mike was a good keeper but he wasn't great, I was great at being a goalkeeper. My old coach said that was because I was crazy, crazy enough to sacrifice my body for a great save. I felt a little bad for dethroning Mike but he was just a junior, he could start next year.

You need a shower. Rosalie signed to me and made a face as she looked at my dirt and sweat covered body.

Looks like you do too. I smirked and gestured to her grass stained back. Rosalie was a hardnosed sweeper at our old school and I was positive she had gotten the stain by tackling someone here. Which poor girl got the business end of your cleats today? I teased.

Shut up, she deserved it.

I'm sure she did. I grabbed the empty seat next to my sister and turned it around before sitting in it backwards. How did it go?

First string, of course. I patted her shoulder proudly and took a carrot off of her plate before stuffing it into my mouth. She scowled at me, get your own.

Why would I do that when I can just eat yours? I smirked. We've already signed into dinner, so we can just leave right? She nodded suspiciously. Tyler says there is a great coffee shop in town, I vote we take a short road trip, we'll bring Bella. I watched as a smile crossed her face. "Excellent" I smiled back.

You need to shower first though, I'm not letting you in my car looking and smelling like that. I rolled my eyes but nodded.

I turned my attention to Alice who had gracefully slipped into the seat next to me. "Do you know where the Town Perk is?" Her eyes lit up and she began to say something too quickly for me to catch, I reached and gently touched her wrist, I felt my heart pound harder in my chest I touched her perfect skin. "Slowly" I whispered in her ear.

"It's right down town, next to the pizza place" I watched her lips as she spoke.

"Do you…um…want to get some coffee with me and my sister?" I asked suddenly nervous, maybe she didn't like coffee; maybe the idea of spending time with me out of the classroom disgusted her. My nerves calmed as she smiled.

"Really?" She looked at me, her eyebrows arched. I nodded eagerly. "Absolutely."

"Yeah?" She nodded this time. "Okay, I have to go get cleaned up, can you be ready in twenty minutes?" I followed her gaze as she looked to her brother Emmett who looked a little disappointed. "You should come too, it'll be fun" I felt my wrist vibrate and looked back to Rosalie. Don't make me take that from you.

I'd like to see you try. Why would you have to invite him? She glared at me. I felt a smile cross my face, Rosalie normally loved attention from guys but something about Emmett was different for her.

Be nice. I smirked as I kissed the top of her before standing up. "Okay, out front in twenty minutes okay?" I said to everyone at the table before hurrying off to shower. It didn't take me more than five minutes to clean off in the shower, I quickly found myself staring at myself in the mirror. I ran my fingers through my hair, pleased with how soft it was. For the first time I was glad Rosalie had always bought me expensive salon shampoo. I towel dried my hair as I rummaged through my closet.

Not that I thought Alice would care what I was wearing but I wanted to look nice, I wanted to impress her. I groaned as I looked at my clothing. I wanted to impress her while looking like me not like the J Crew model Rosalie seemed to think I should look like. I chewed on my lip for a moment in thought before pulling out a pair of jeans and a zip up hoodie. I changed and grabbed my sunglasses before pulling on my Diesel hi-tops before heading out to the colonnade out front.

"Hey" Bella waved at me as she stood with Alice's other brother, Edward or something I think. Bella's cheeks were red with blush; I felt her embarrassment over something. Edward had a smile on his face; I couldn't tell if it was a smug or genuine smile though. If he had said something to embarrass her he and I were going to have a problem.

"Hey, is everything alright?" I asked as I pulled my sunglasses down, it was nearly six and the sun was still bright as it had been all day.

"Everything is great; you don't mind if Edward comes do you?" I felt a smile form on my lips, so that's what she's embarrassed about.

"Of course not" I looked up as Rosalie approached. "So how is this all going to work?" I counted in my head to see how many of us there were, six of us coming and Rose's car only fit five. "I'll just take my Vespa" I said more to Rosalie than anyone else.

She let out a sigh, fine, but go put your jacket on. I rolled my eyes but smiled. When I bought my Vespa she bought me a nearly indestructible ICON TiMAX leather jacket that was actually plated with titanium to go with it. I guess she figured if I was going to wreck my Vespa, which maxed out at 76 miles per hour, the monstrous jacket would save my butt.

"Fine" I hurried back to my room to get it, when I came back I saw Mrs. Cullen standing with Alice and Emmett. I stopped my jogging and walked over, I ran through the rules that the school had about leaving campus in my head, the only real rule was that we had to be back by 8:30 for the start of study hall. Maybe Mrs. Cullen didn't trust us yet; I felt a frown from on my cheeks as I approached her.

I don't scare you that much do I? She signed. It took that smile of yours a total of fifteen seconds to disappear. Rosalie laughed as Mrs. Cullen smiled and I felt my cheeks redden.

"Is something wrong?" I asked Mrs. Cullen after noticing Alice's puzzled expression, she clearly didn't like not knowing sign language.

"Not at all, I just wanted to make sure you know to be back by 8:30 and I was going to ask you" She pointed at Emmett, "to pick up a pound of their special dark roast." I smiled relieved. "Oh and I hear some congratulations are in order for you two" she gestured to Rosalie and I. What on earth would she be congratulating me on? I must have looked confused because Mrs. Cullen let out a laugh, "The soccer teams" she explained.

"Ohhh, thank you" I smiled again. She nodded and gave each of her children a kiss before reminding them to be safe and telling all of us to enjoy ourselves. We watched as she headed to her own car before turning back to one another.

"All but Jasper can fit into my car, which is fine because he wants to take his own ride" Rosalie explained to us.

"Why don't we just all go in my Jeep?" Emmett asked sounding a bit sheepish.

"Because we're going in my car" I chuckled at how quickly Rosalie responded. We walked up the short hill to the student parking lot; I smiled as I saw my baby, it was the new GTS 250 model in dragon red and I loved it. I unchained it from the sign post and pulled my helmet out of the seat compartment; I felt eyes watching me and looked up catching Alice's gaze. She blushed adorably and looked away.

"Ready?" I asked looking to Rosalie now who was proudly showing Emmett the engine she had modified.
