When I got home my mom hadn't gotten off work yet. I set my backpack down in my room and went down to the family room. I turned on the TV and started flipping through channels I stopped on one of those celebrity news channels and they were going on about how that actor Rob Pattinson broke up with his costar for his other costar.
Scandalous.
I got bored with watching all this fake celebrity junk and switched channels again. Nothing else was on other than that MTV show Made. I got really interested and it actually got funny when the girl had a mental breakdown because she couldn't figure out how to work the motocross bike.
The show was halfway over when I heard a knock at the door. Who would knock on my door on a Monday night at 5 p.m.? I got up off the couch and answered the door to Jacob Black.
"Hey!" he practically yelled.
"Can I help you?" I asked.
"Actually yes you can." He stated walking past me and into the living room. He plopped down on the couch and looked back at me.
We had a staring contest for about a minute when he spoke up. "You are going to let the bugs in." he said nodding his head towards the door. I looked and saw I was still holding the door open. I shut it and walked over to him.
"What do you need?" I asked while sitting down
"Want to come hang out on the reservation this weekend?" he asked.
"I'm sorry what?" I asked. "What reservation?" I asked again before he spoke. Jacob lived on a reservation?
"The Quileute reservation." He answered. "We are having a bonfire this weekend and I was wondering if you could come." He added.
"What day?" I asked remembering my date with Edward on Friday.
"Saturday night." He answered hopefully.
"Sure I think I can go." I replied.
"Awesome." He said with a big smile.
"So where can I meet you?" I asked.
"I can pick you up." He answered.
"Really? 'Cause I can meet you somewhere you don't have to got out of your way." I offered.
"No its fine my friends and I are going to stop by that new Wal-Mart in Forks to stock up on some marshmallows, chocolate and… what's that other stuff you use for s'mores?" he asked.
"Gram crackers." I said quickly.
"Right. Anyway on our way back we can pick you up around 7:30ish?"
"Sounds good. Do you need me to bring anything?"
"Just yourself." He said with a grin.
"Okay." We laughed.
Jacob opened his mouth to say something when my mom walked in the door.
"Hey Serena!" she smiled then noticed Jacob was there. "Oh hey Jake! What are you doing here?" she asked. "Not that I'm not happy you are here, but I just would think you'd be hanging on the reservation." She added quickly.
Jacob chuckled. "Actually I came by to talk to Bell- Serena, and I invited her to a bonfire." He said.
"Oh, well that's nice!" she said hanging up her coat and walking into the kitchen.
"Yeah." Jake looked at me. There was an awkward silence until Jacob coughed.
"Well, I guess I'll see you Saturday?"
"Yupp!"
"Kay, see ya." He said holding out his hand.
I looked down at his hand. Was he seriously going to shake my hand? I awkwardly shook it. "Bye." I said and smiled.
"Bye." He said before he scurried out the door.
I closed the door behind him and walked into the kitchen. My mom was reading the paper. "What do you want for dinner?" I asked making my way to the fridge.
""I bought some salmon if you want to cook it?" she said never looking up from the paper.
"Sure, sure." I said opening the freezer and taking out the frozen salmon.
I took out the salmon, defrosted it, seasoned it, and set it in the oven. Since it would take an hour, I decided I would do some homework in the process. I made my way up the stairs and went into my room I grabbed my trig homework out and started doing all those complicated problems.
I was halfway through figuring out a problem when the buzzer sounded. I got up and went downstairs to get the dinner. I opened up the oven and a warm fishy like smell filled my nostrils.
"Mmmm." I couldn't help but say.
My mom walked into the kitchen. "Yum. That smells really good."
"Yeah it does." I said setting it on the counter and getting out plates.
I set the plates down on the table and sat down.
We started to eat in silence when my mom spoke up. "So who's going to be at the bonfire?" she asked.
"I'm not sure I think some of Jake's friends are going to be there."
"Is that Edward boy going to be there?" she asked with a playful grin on her face.
I groaned. "Probably not mom. I don't think he's friends with Jacob."
"Why?"
"I don't know. I think they run in different crowds or something." I assumed.
"Oh. But he is cute."
"Mom!" I caught her attention. "We are just friends, no more!" I said.
"Fine, but I know you guys will probably end up together, I see the way he looks at you." She said picking up our plates.
"How does he look at me?" I asked.
"I don't know, like… like he's so happy that he met you. You'd think he went through a depression before he met you!" she said with a chuckle.
"Mom you've only met him once." I reminded her.
"I know, I know, but I just know that he likes you." She said before walking out of the kitchen and into the family room to watch TV.
Leaving me with my thoughts.

Soon, Friday was here. I got up with a big smile on my face. I don't know why I was so excited. I took a shower and blew dry my hair to make it look decent. I even put a little extra make up on. For some reason I felt unstoppable.
My mom was already gone by the time I got downstairs. She probably had a meeting to get to or something. I ate a granola bar and quickly walked outside to get to my car.
I closed the door and turned toward my car but I only saw Edward leaning against his Volvo.
"Hey!" I said confused.
"Hello." He said back. "Do you mind if I drive you to school today?" he asked opening the passenger door.
"Sure why not?" I said walking and I got into the passenger seat. He shut the door and was already in the car by the time I blinked.
"So what do you want to do tonight?" he asked.
"Um I don't know what did you have planned?"
"Well I figured a walk or something but if you want to do something else, that's fine."
"How about dinner?" I asked quickly.
"Dinner it is." He said as he pulled into the school parking lot.
I smiled at I got out.
School went by really slow due to my anticipation. Lucas bothered me, Jennifer and Laura couldn't find anything else to do than gossip, and Angelina was the only sane one who I got have a regular conversation with.
Bio was boring except for the fact that he was naming illness epidemics from the past and now.
"And another epidemic hit the U.S. and the world in 1918…" Edward covered his mouth to contain his laughter I myself started sniggering because I have recently discovered that Edward had the Spanish Influenza in 1918. We both were trying so hard not to laugh out loud but it was just too funny. I looked over at Edward's expression and it was priceless. He was trying not to laugh and trying not to tell the teacher that it was a pandemic not an epidemic. In other words he looked as if he was constipated.
I was about to lose it when the bell rang. Talk about saved by the bell.
We looked at each other and tried not to laugh we just walked out of class silently. When we walked out of the class, I burst out laughing and he just rolled his eyes and smiled.
Gym went by surprisingly fast and soon it was the end of the day. I walked out into the parking lot in search of my ride home. I started walking around in the parking lot searching for that silver Volvo. I couldn't find it anywhere did he forget about me? Ugh! I sat on the hood of a car and put my thoughts together. He couldn't forget about me he was a fricken vampire! I realized I was sitting on the hood of someone else's car but I didn't care. I would move when they came.
BEEP! BEEP! I screamed at the top of my lungs and fell off the hood of the car in the process. I got up quickly trying to remain unnoticed and turned around to see Edward's Volvo and Emmett in the backseat giving me a smile.
Damn him.
"You scared the shit out of me!" I exclaimed while getting into the passenger seat.
"Well one, you were sitting on Edward's car and two, I needed to get your attention because you were sitting on what you were looking for." He answered.
'Thanks.' I said sarcastically.
"No problem." He said ruffling my hair.
"Where is everyone?" I fixed my hair.
"They are coming." He said.
I looked out in search of them and Alice and Jasper were walking hand in hand with Rose in front of them and Edward behind. Rose was in the car first and she got in the middle seat and gave Emmett a short peck on the cheek.
"Looks like I'm going to have to sit on your lap Jazzy!" Alice exclaimed when Jasper sat down. She got on his lap and closed the door.
"Well, I say Emmett rides in the trunk." Edward teased when he got in the car.
"I second that." I joined in playfully.
We drove to my house in a minimum of 3 minutes and when we arrived I got out and Alice and Rose followed.
"C'mon go!" Alice pushed me into the house.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"You have a very important date tonight and Rose and I are here to help." She said rummaging through my drawers.
"What are these?" she asked holding up a pair of cargo pants.
"Um, cargo pants?" I answered afraid of what she might do to me.
"I'll be right back. Rose, start on her hair." And Alice jumped out the window.
Rose came at me with the curler.
"Sit." She ordered and I followed obediently.
She curled my hair and put it in a half back style when she was done. It only took 15 minutes.
Almost immediately after she was don Alice came in through the window with a dress bag.
"Here, you can wear this." She said pulling out a strapless black dress, which had sequins all over it and ruffles at the bottom.
"Whoa." I said while taking it.
"It's Betsey Johnson!" she squealed examining it with me.
"I really like it thanks." I said. "Now get out I need privacy!" I said scooting them out.
When they were out of the room I put the dress on and I looked amazing. My mouth dropped open.
Alice burst through the door. "Okay makeup time!" she said sitting me down.
Rose did my eye shadow when Alice did my blush. When they were done they both smiled and high-fived proud of their work. I looked in the mirror. I had a smokey eye effect to my eyes only a fashion-obsessed vampire could do. I had to admit I did look really pretty.
"Oh my." I said touching my face in amazement.
"I know I love it too." She said.
"Thanks so much!" I hugged them both.
My mom walked in the room.
"Serena- Oh my. You look gorgeous!" she said looking at me. "What's the special occasion?" she asked looking at Rose and Alice.
"A date.' I answered.
"With who?"
"My brother!" Alice answered for me.
"And what's your name hon?"
"Alice Cullen and this is my sister Rosalie." She said gesturing to Rose.
"Nice to meet both of you. Does this mean you are going on a date with Edward?" she assumed.
"Yeah." I blushed a little.
"Well have fun and be safe." She said making me blush more.
"Well Edward will be here in 5 minutes so we'll know how it goes!" Alice said hugging me then walking out the door.
"Good luck!" Rose hugged me.
"Thanks again!" I said as they walked out the front door.
They waved and ran into the woods. Right after they left, Edward pulled into my driveway.
Here goes nothing.
A/N: Cliffy! I promise the date will be good I have a good idea! A link to Serena's dress is on my profile if you would like to see it! And I saw Harry Potter last night and I thought it was amaing! Please review! Flames are welcome too!
