Chapter 2: The Party

Last night, before I went to bed, I had the idea for a party. Not a huge one. I'd just invite a few friends and Edward. Was it stupid? I didn't know. Was it crazy? Yes.

Edward walked out of his Volvo and I could swear he smiled. I hurried off to my classes. I decided during History that I would invite Edward to my party in Biology, which was after lunch, which means I can ask my other friends before him. At least I could practice.

The rest of my classes went by really fast and then lunch came. I wasn't exactly sure what to say...

"Hey everyone", I said.

"Hi Bella", they said in unison.

"Okay, so I am having a-a little get together at my house on Friday", I wasn't sure where I was exactly going with this,"would-uh-would you guys like to come?"

"Sure, what time cause I also have to go to La Push-La Push baby", said Eric, "Mike's coming with, do you want to come"

"Well, My p-get together is at 1 since we don't have school"

"Yeah we can make it, and then we can all go to LA PUSH!", Eric and Mike yelled La Push so loud that the whole cafeteria turned there heads for a minute, then resumed talking.

"Okay, I'll go if you promise to NEVER do that again, K?", I said nibbling on a carrot. Eric tried not to laugh and he nodded his head.

Time for Biology. Wonderful. I walked inside the classroom and saw Edward. I went over to our table and it turned out we had a project to do together. Great time to ask him.

"Um, Edward?", I asked him quietly wondering if he heard.

"Hmm?", he raised his eyebrows, not wanting to turn away from our project. We were raising germs. Weird...

"Uh, well, I am having a small p-get together at my house this Friday at one. Would you like to come. We are going to La push afterwards."

"Bella, I will go to your party but I don't like that beach-it seems....a little crowded"

"Okay, that's fine", I told him, my voice a little too shaky.

We didn't talk for the rest of class unless we needed something the other had...it was odd. Even if we did talk I wouldn't know what to say to him.

At the end of the day I quickly put my stuff in my bag and got in my truck to leave, watching him at his Volvo the whole time.

When I went to bed I wondered why he thought La Push was quiet. It is usually so cold that there aren't many people. Heck, I am only going for my friends.
