I do not own Twilight.

Song: Pressure by Paramoreee :)

I kicked the door of the apartment and tossed my newly bought clothes on the floor. Me, Alice, and Rosalie all share one apartment since we all go to the same college.

"Yo Bella! Watch me kick Jasper's ass!" Emmett called from the kitchen. Emmett and Jasper were Rosalie's and Alice's boyfriends.

"Bella! I heard about the bet Alice made with you." Edward said. He was my best friend. Next to Alice, of course. I was secretly crushing on him for the past 2 years, but I just couldn't imagine ruining our friendship. It was too special. He gave me my favorite crooked smile. "This should be interesting. That means no more football with us?"

The corners of my mouth pulled up. "Yeah, but it'll be sooo worth it when Alice won't dress me like a doll anymore."

"Hah, don't count on it!!" I heard Alice yell from her bathroom.

"And if you lose?" Edward asked.

"Let's just say, I'll be very ruffly and slightly taller."

"Don't forget sparkly!!!" Alice reminded me.

"YES!! HAH!! EMMETT ONE JASPER ZE-RO!!!!" Emmett shouted in victory. He cracked his knuckles. "Who's my next victim?"

"Move over, boy.'' I said, pushing Jasper out of his seat. I lifted my arm and rested my elbow on the table.

"Now, now, Bella. I don't want to have to hurt you in armwrestling."

I rolled my eyes. "I'm not a girly girl until tomorrow. Bring it on, Em."

He squeezed my hand and then tried to bring it down. I was literally bored. I pulled his arm to my side and let him take it from there. It took awhile until I finally decided to bring his arm down all the way. I smiled triumphantly. "I win."

Emmett slammed him fist on the table and Edward and Jasper high fived each other.

"Rematch?" Emmet asked.

Rosalie walked over and examined my manicured hands. "No way Em!! Look at the chipping this armwrestling's doing to Bella's mani!!"

"Yeah, no football, hockey games, and no sneakers too." I groaned.

"Ouch. That's gonna be tough on you.'' Jasper said. I sighed and went to my bedroom to change into comfy clothes. Already laid out there was a pair of shorts and a lace cami with a note: There's no use looking for your old clothes; you'll never find them ~Alice.

I slipped on the clothes and shivered.

"Hey Bella, can I come in?" I heard Edward's voice ask from the other side of the door.

"Sure." He came in with a mug in his hand.

His eyes widened. "Wow. Alice wasn't kidding. Here, I thought you'd want one." He handed me the cup. I wrapped my fingers around it and took a sip.

"Aren't you cold in that?" He asked, noticing my bare legs and arms.

"A little." He took off his black jacket and put it on my shoulders. I smiled. "Thanks."

"No problem. So I heard you went to the mall." He said, smiling.

I laughed and set down the hot chocolate on my nightstand. "After hearing about me and Alice's little bet, Rosalie was practically dragging me to the mall. Alice even made me get my ears pierced."

He started laughing. "You? Earrings? Lemme see for myself." I lifted my hair exposing my red earlobes with tiny blue studs.

"Well I never thought I'd live the day to see Ms. Isabella Marie Swan in earrings." He joked, sitting in my big recliner.

"Hey that's my chair. Move over." I laughed, sitting on his lap.

"Here.' He inched over a bit to give me some room. I grabbed the remote and flickered through the channels until finding 'The Secret Life of the American Teenager'.

"Ugh, Bella, you're such a girl." He joked.

"What? I felt really bad when Amy found out she was pregnant!!" I joked, switching to an old rerun of Spongebob.

"Ah, much better." Edward said, relieved.

"Knock, knock, lovebirds!!" Alice said, coming inside. "Come on Bella, you know I can't cook that well yet."

I laughed, remembering all the times Alice burnt the chicken or overcooked the pasta. "Ok I'll be there in a sec." I shrugged out of Edward's jacket and tossed it back.

"Bella," Edward said, walking closer to me. "You'll know I'll always be there, right? If you need someone to talk to," He patted his shoulder, "Or a shoulder to cry on, I'll be here."

I laughed. "You're worried that I'll like break down because of the stupid bet with me and Alice? Thanks, but I think I can go a month."

He smiled. "Hey, maybe you'll like it."

"In your dreams, Edward. You're my best friend." I crossed my index and middle fingers together. "We're like this."

We both walked out into the living room. Emmett was smirking and Alice was whispering something to Rosalie.

"What?" I asked. I just shrugged and went to the kitchen to start dinner.

Alice came skipping in. "Bella."

"Yeah?"

"Have you ever considered going out with Edward?" She asked, looking around to make sure that no one was near.

"Hell no, I don't wanna ruin a perfectly good friendship." I said, grabbing the pasta from the shelf.

"Bella, you've been best friends since you broke your leg in the 3rd grade. And now we're all in our junior year of college and both of you are single. It all fits together."

"Alice, both of us are friends. Just friends."

"Things can change..." She said, walking out of the kitchen.
