A week after the restaurant debacle and Alice still hasn't set me up. I think she found a guy to keep her busy for awhile because I haven't seen her in three days. I might actually be missing her a little. Yeah, I know freaky right? But, she is after all my best friend.
Anyways, currently I've been laying about the house reading and listening to Modest Mouse. Their bipolar songs just went so well with any book. Since it is summer I don't have any courses. After the fall semester I'm done with College. At the ripe old age of 22, my career choice is still a mystery. I enjoy people, they always seem to fascinate me and I can spend hours in a mall just watching. So I decided to major in Sociology. I also have a passion for photography so I have a minor in photojournalism. My job at the book store has been rather slow also, so I haven't had much to do. I think the owner of the book store, Mr. Jones, is trying to help me find a boyfriend. Alice has filled him in on my lack in the 'Love Life' department and seeing as he thinks I'm his long lost daughter, he wants me to find the love of my life. The way things are going it's not going to happen any time soon.
I decided to go for a walk after the latest episode of Top Chief ended. I grabbed my IPod and walked out the door. I decided to head for my favorite place. A lake about a mile from my house, there is place on the flat rocks to sit and relax. I love this place and don't come here with anyone. I've never seen anyone here before, so imagine my surprise to see a man sitting on my rock.
As I walked up to the figure I didn't pay much attention to the man's head. All I could think was my rock. When I reached over to tap his shoulder I realized the copper bronze tone to his hair. It looked exactly like the mesmerizing head in the restaurant. It still made me want to run for the hills, but I had already tapped his shoulder and he was slowly turning around. I noticed he too had ear buds in and I remembered to take mine out. When I looked down again I was greeted with a gorgeous pair of emerald eyes. He was reaching to take the ear buds out of his ears, and his face had a mixture of emotions on it. He look surprised, shocked, and something else but I couldn't pin point it.

I was listening to music on my favorite rock when someone tapped me on the shoulder. I was shocked, I've never seen anyone out here and I've been coming here for years. When I turned around I saw a girl with inhuman beauty, she was taking out her ear buds and made the action look so angelic I couldn't look away.
I remembered I had my head phones in also so I reached up to take them out, but never once did I take my eyes off her face. She had mahogany hair that was pulled back into a ponytail. It was a familiar shade, but so unusual and stunning I couldn't place where I've seen it before. Suddenly I was met with her deep brown eyes.
We were silent for a couple moments just taking each other in.
I broke the silence. "Um, h-hi"
A rose tinted hue colored her cheeks. It was adorable. Wait! My mind screamed. I didn't even know this girl and I was already taken with her blush? This was new to me.
"Hello," she answered quietly.
"Can I help you?" I asked sweetly as I watched her flush darken.
"Oh, well I was wondering why you're here? No one's ever out here."
"I've been coming out here for years."
"So have I but I've never seen you."
"Nor I you."
"Well, are you planning on leaving any time soon?" I was taken aback by this comment. Was she asking me to leave?
"Not really." I replied with a hint of anger in my voice. She looked angry.
"Can you switch rocks?"
"No, I can't. Besides I was here first"
"Gah! Why won't you move?"
"Why are you asking?"
"Because…….I just. Look, I come out here to clear my mind and lately I've been over thinking. So, could you just, for me, move?" She requested and the anguish behind her emotions almost made me give in, but I couldn't skip the opportunity to talk to her.
"Why don't we share the rock?" I knew it was risky and the way things have been going I thought she might bite my head off.
"Why not?" She shrugged and took a seat next to me. My jaw went straight to the floor.
"You catching flies?" She had a smirk or her face while she stared out at the water.
"Are you one of those extremely moody girls that never has the same emotion for more than 5 minutes?" Her laughter came out like bells. I've never been so attracted to one girl.
"No, I'm sorry I was so rude. I'm just very protective of this place. I didn't think anyone else knew about this rock."
"I know what you mean. This place has been my sanctuary for years. I'm Edward by the way."
Her face took on a wistful expression as she mulled over the name. "I'm Bella."
The name fit her perfectly.

As we sat in silence I thought about this new person. I really think I could be friends with Edward.

If anyone is reading this, I could really use some fed back. I just want to know if this is something others enjoy reading. I like the idea but it's the first thing I've written so just a quick yay of neigh will do. I'm also not wanting to do long chapters at the moment so sorry.
