Ok, so I've decided that this story will stay at 'T'. So without further ado, I present Chapter 5!!!
Song: Circus =P
I do not own Twilight.

I can't believe I just did that. I kissed her. I sighed and looked at the ceiling of the room when someone barged in.
"Dude, why are you all of the sudden so...sad?" Emmett said, sitting down on a beanbag chair.
"I kissed her."
"It's not the first time you've kissed her. And you've liked her for how long?"
"Since the 8th grade..." I mumbled.
"So why are you so sad?"
"I'm not sad. I'm just trying to figure how come I liked her. I mean, before the bet and all, I liked her because she was so easy to be around, but now, with all of her new clothes and stuff, I just seem to like her even more. I even had the guts to ask her to be my girlfriend."
"So what's wrong with that?" Jasper asked, coming in.
"I don't know whether to like the old Bella or the new one."
"Edward, she's the same person, just different looking. And we all know how much you've wanted this."
"I really do like her. A lot." I said, sitting up.
"And she really likes you." Emmett said.
"How do you know?"
"Rose and Alice. Honestly, we've been waiting forever for this to happen." Jasper and Emmett answered.
I sat there, shocked. I stood up and closed the door behind me.
BPOV
"Bella!! Jasper told me what happened!! I'm so happy for you!!" Alice said, barging into my room to give me a hug. Rose followed after her, a huge smile on her face.
"Do you really think he likes me? What if he only liked me when I started dressing like this?" I pointed to my silk shorts and matching lace cami.
"Bella, he's like you since the 8th grade. He's wanted this for a long time." Rose informed me.
"Emmett told you this?"
"Well, we were actually waiting for this to happen since Edward told Emmett and Jasper. We've tried to make it so that only you two were alone, and see what would happen." Alice said.
"I think making you look...more attractive just made him like you even more. Like he needs it," Rose added under her breath.
"And it's not like it's the first time you kissed him," Alice reminded me.
flashback
It was Alice's birthday and she wanted just a small gathering for her 14th birthday, me, Rose, Emmett, Jasper, and Edward.
"Anyone wanna play a game?" Alice asked.
"Sure."
She came back with a bottle. Oh god.
"Spin the bottle!" Alice said, setting the bottle down.
We all gathered around it. "Bella goes first!!"
"Ugh, why me?"
"Because I said so," Alice said. She just wanted me to land on Edward. I spun the bottle and crossed my fingers not to land on Edward.
"And its....Edward!!" Alice said, winking at me. Of course. Edward faced me
"Are you sure?"
"Y-Yeah." We gently brought our faces together, but I moved wrong and we bumped noses. I heard the rest of them giggle. Edward just smiled and placed his lips gently on mine. We pulled away and I avoided him for the rest of the night.
-end of flashback
I heard a knock on the door. "Bella, can I come in?"
"Um, sure." Alice and Rosalie quickly stood up and hurried out of the room. Edward stepped inside. I patted the seat next to me on the bed and he sat down.
"You wanted to talk?" I asked hesitantly.
"Yeah. Bella, you'll always be my best friend, right?"
"Y-Yes," I croaked. Oh god. He's regretting it.
"I want to take it slow. Our relationship," He whispered, not meeting my eyes. I widened my eyes. So he wasn't regretting it?
"O-Of course. I don't want us to rush either." He smiled and pulled me in for a hug. "I bet all of them are outside listening," I whispered.
I looked over at a box, a table that Esme and Carlisle never bothered to put up. "Wanna help me put the table together?"
We got off the bed and opened the box, spilling out all the pieces. Edward suddenly got an idea and whispered it into my ear. I took the top of the table and flipped it over so that the legs could get attached to it. Edward took his shoe (OK, I might be a bit random but oh well haha) and started hitting the leg with it, so the leg would be securely in its place.
"Edward!! Harder!!" I said, trying not to giggle as he continued hitting the leg of the table with his shoe. I heard a few gasps outside and concealed my laughing with a pillow.
APOV
"What's going on in there?" I whispered to Emmett, who had his ear to the door.
"Sounds like someone's hitting something," Emmett said, trying to make out the noise.
"Edward!! Harder!!" I heard Bella's voice say.
"What the hell," Jasper mumbled.
"OK, that's it," Rose said, opening the door. We saw Edward and Bella kneeling on the ground, fixing a table. That was it? I could've sworn....
Then Bella burst out laughing, rolling on the floor, tears of laughter coming out of her eyes. "I cant believe you idiots fell for that!!!"
"Well, we thought that Edward was f--" Emmett got cut off by Rosalie punching him in the gut. "I-I'll stay quiet now."
"We were just putting the table together," Edward said.
"Well this was boring," Rosalie said.
"I wanna use that Singstar your dad has in the living room. " I said.
"Sure," Edward said, helping Bella up.
BPOV
Edward, Emmett, and Jasper set up the t.v. while me and the girls brought out the chips and drinks.
"Emmett and Bella goes first!!" Alice said.
"Why me?" Emmett asked, folding his arms.
"Come on, Em." Rosalie cooed. He stood up and grabbed the mic while Alice chose a song. Then the music video 'womanizer' came on.
"I hate you Alice," I mumbled under my breath.
"Love ya too!" She joked and pressed play.
Superstar, where you from, how's it going?

You can play brand new to all the other chicks out here

"OK, for future references, I'm never letting you pick the song again," I said, sitting down next to Edward. "I don't do Britney Spears."
"That was just..." Emmett shuddered.
"Let's see who did better." Alice said, pointing to the the screen. Both of our meters went up, but mine went higher than Emmett's by a lot.
"What!?!? I'm a broken cassette??" Emmett said. "Great. She beats me in armwrestling, guitar hero and Singstar."
"Sorry." I said with a smirk.
"'Kay, anyone wanna challenge Bella?" Rosalie asked.
"Ooh, I wanna!!" Alice said, standing up and grabbing the mic from Emmett's hands. Rose picked the song this time and picking 'If I were a boy'.
"Kill me," I mumbled under my breath.
If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I'd roll outta bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted then go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted
And I'd never get confronted for it.
Cause they'd stick up for me.
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man.
I'd listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he's taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it's broken
So they'd think that I was sleepin' alone
I'd put myself first
And make the rules as I go
Cause I know that she'd be faithful
Waitin' for me to come home (to come home)
It's a little too late for you to come back
Say it's just a mistake
Think I'd forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong
But you're just a boy
You don't understand
Yeah you don't understand
How it feels to love a girl someday
You wish you were a better man
You don't listen to her
You don't care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cause you've taken her for granted
And everything you have got destroyed
But you're just a boy
"I shouldn't let Rose pick the song either," I grumbled, sitting in Edward's lap.
"Yay!! I win!!" Alice said, smiling triumphantly. Edward and Jasper were next, picking 'Superstitious' Jasper won and challenged Emmett, who lost.
"Is there a dying cow in here?" Esme asked, coming downstairs in her pajamas and robe.
"Sorry, Mom. It was Emmett," Jasper said.
"Hey!"
Esme yawned. "Well, it's late. All of you should get some sleep." With that, she went back upstairs.
"Yeah, I'm beat," I said, stretching.
We cleaned up and headed upstairs for the night.
...
I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. "H-Hello?"
"Oh hi honey!!"
"Hi mom," I said, sitting up.
"Have you found an escort yet?"
"Yeah mom, don't worry."
"Oh, who is it?"
"Edward, mom."
"Oh honey! I'm so happy for you! And I found the perfect dress!!"
I sighed. "Mom, nothing too dramatic, right?"
"Honey, you won't believe how pretty you'll look in this! It's a royal blue dress with a keyhole front and sprinkled with lots of sparkles! And you're representing the school or fine arts! I'm sure you'll turn heads."
"I doubt that, Mom."
"Well, I'm sending it over to New York and it should be there in about two days. We can always return it when I come up there on your birthday. You can bring some friends to the ball, too."
"Thanks, Mom. Bye."
"Bye."
I flipped my phone closed and shut my eyes, wanting a few more minutes of sleep.
"Wakey wakey sleepy head!!" Alice said, shaking my shoulders.
"Ugh, I'm up." I said, sitting back up.
"Why are you so grouchy?"
"My mom's sending the dress for the ball coming up."
"Oh yeah."
"If you want, you and Rose can bring Jasper and Emmett. She said I could bring friends."
"Ooh! I sense a great reason to go shopping!!"
"Yeah, you need to be formal, too. A simple dress would do."
Alice helped me up from my bed and we went downstairs to grab some breakfast. The boys were already downstairs eating toast and butter. Me and Alice just grabbed some cereal and joined the rest.
"Rose, we're thinking of hitting the mall later. Wanna come?" Alice asked after a few bites of cereal.
"Sure. For what?"
"Remember the ball that Bella goes to every year?"
"Yeah?"
"Well, she's inviting all of us and we need like formal dresses."
"Ooh OK! Can Jasper and Emmett come?"
I nodded my head. "Unless they don't want to..."
"Of course we do!! We want to witness Edward catching you when you trip over your heels!" Emmett joked.
I kicked his shin under the table and went back to my breakfast.
"So after lunch we'll go?" Alice asked.
"Sure," we agreed. After breakfast, I went back to my room to take a shower and pick out clothes for the rest of the day. Alice already set out the makeup I would put on. I cringed and tried to put on the eyeliner without poking myself. I went back downstairs, Edward and Alice playing chess. I swear its the funniest thing since Edward takes chess more seriously than soccer. After lunch, we piled into our cars and headed for the mall.
So was it good? Bad? Horrible? Just tell me!! Oh and I have my polyvore up on my profile just incase you wanna take a look at Bella's outfits (INCLUDING her ball gown and such) reviews keep me writing =]
Ta ta for now!!
