"Yes Alice, that's exactly what I said." I said into my LG as I walked down the street in the little town of Mesa, AZ. I had lived in Phoenix for most of my life until I had gone to live with my dad Charlie in Forks, Washington for a while. That is where I met Alice Cullen. I had hit her mortal enemy, Jessica Stanly, in the head with a baseball in Gym and since then we've been best friends. That's also where I had met her cousin Emmett McCarthy, who also became one of my best friends. Emmett, who was a year older than Alice and I, moved here to mesa after graduating at Forks high and met Jasper in one of his collage classes. A year after Alice and I fallowed his lead.

Now Alice and I lived in an apartment together with Emmet and jasper next door to us. Emmett had insisted on living close to us to keep us safe from the dangers known as doing anything that involves leaving the house. He even insisted on driving us to and from school. Even though we all attended MCC (mesa community collage) it still seemed a bit over protective of him. As of right now though, Emmett was at work so I had to walk to the library from my work at the Bungalow (a coffee shop).

"I know, but the Library? Bella please just go to a book store or something, you know I'll pay for it." Said the little Pixie of a friend I was talking to. I sighed.

"No Alice, I don't need a book, I need old newspapers. I'm studying how the form of journalism has changed and to do that I need old newspapers." I heard her groan.

"Bella I don't want to go. I'd rather go shopping!" I laughed.

"Then why did you suggest a book store?" She sighed.

"Because that's still shopping, duh!" I laughed again.

"Fine you don't have to come if you'd rather I be alone and not have any fun…" I heard Alice snort.

"Bella you'll have more fun than me with a brand new credit card, I promise."

"How would you know?" I asked looking both ways before crossing the small street to the library. She laughed.

"Because it's you and a building filled with words Bell's." I knew she was right so I laughed.

"Okay, well I'm here now. So I'll be home around 8 since it closes at 7:30, is that okay?"

"Only if you have your key, I won't be home."

"Yeah I have it. Bye." I said already planning my next words in my head.

"Bye." I heard the smile in her voice.

"Oh Alice, one more thing." I said before she could hang up.

"What is it?" She asked.

"Tell Jasper I said Hi." I said as if it was the simplest thing in the world. I heard the click of a phone closing and then the dial tone. I closed my phone and laughed. I new her and Jasper were just friends, for now anyways, so I loved to mess with the fact that they weren't together yet.

I put my phone in my back pocket of my jeans as I walked through the library door and as soon as I was in I stopped. I looked around and took a deep breath through my nose and closed my eyes. I loved the smell of books; it always seemed to calm me. I slowly opened my eyes and continued walking.

The newspapers where on level 3 of the library, and I was on level 1. So instead of climbing all of those stairs I decided to take the elevator. I pressed the button and almost immediately after the doors opened.

I walked into the elevator and pressed the button with the number 3 on it. I felt it jerk upwards and I grabbed the hand rail so I wouldn't fall. As I regained my balance as the doors opened again. I heard a voice say "Level 3, news papers and documents." And I walked into the almost empty room.

As I walked over to the news papers I noticed there was only one other person in the room. He was fairly tall 'maybe just a little bit shorter than Jasper…' I thought as I looked at him. He had bronzeish colored hair and he had beautiful green eyes. I hadn't noticed but I had stopped moving and was now staring at him.

He was leafing through the news papers and writing notes on paper. Suddenly he looked up at me and I blushed. He smiled and laughed. "Hi there." I could hear the humor in his voice.

"Hi." I said as I started leafing through a newspaper myself. I noticed something interesting about the newspaper and pulled out a note pad. As I started writing something down he raised his eyebrow at me.

"What?" I asked trying to hold back a blush. He shrugged.

"You're taking notes? Why?" He asked as he supported himself on his elbows. I smiled.

"It's called school. Why are you?" He shook his head.

"It's called work, and I'm not taking notes I'm making sure all of the newspapers are here…" He said trailing off as he wrote something down.

"You work here?" I asked trying to keep the conversation going. He nodded.

"Just started" He smiled. I was about to say something but I felt my phone vibrate. I pulled it out confused as I saw the caller ID. I opened the phone and put it up to my ear. "Alice? What's-" I never got to finish what I was saying because she started yelling.

"BELLA! I'M GOING TO KICK EMMETT'S ASS!" I head my face away from the phone as she spoke.

"Whoa, Alice calm down. I'm in the library, and people can hear you." I heard the man disguise a laugh as a chough.

"I WILL NOT CALM DOWN! DO YOU KNOW WHAT HE DID?!" I sighed.

"No I don't but please tell me." I leaned on the table waiting for the explanation.

"Well" She started her voice becoming softer now. "Jasper came over and we were watching a movie." I interrupted her.

"What movie?"She hesitated.

"The grudge…"I sighed.

"Alice you hate that movie."

"I know but, you know what just shut up and listen." I laughed silently.

"Okay I'm sorry. Carry on." She took a deep breath.

"Okay well anyways, so in the middle of the movie Jasper was making a move on me and I was excited, and then we were about to kiss and Emmett jumps from behind the couch saying "OUT! OUT NOW!" and he grabbed Jasper by his collar and out the door! I was so close Bella!" I knew she was on the verge of tears so I sighed.

"Alice, you want me to come back?" I saw the man frown.

"Yes please…"

"Okay I'll be home soon." I heard her choke out a bye and a be safe as I shut the phone. I looked at the man. "I'm sorry, my friend is having a break down and I don't want to have to bail her out of jail again…" He laughed.

"It's okay. It was nice meeting you…?" I smiled.

"Bella, Bella Swan. And you are?"

"Edward, Edward Mason." He put out his hand and I shook it. I waved as I started walking to the elevator. As soon as I pressed the button he called my name.

"Bella!" I turned around and he was running towards me.

"Yeah?" I asked as he came closer.

"Would you like a ride home?" I smiled.

"Sure."

As Edward pulled up to my apartments I smiled. "Thanks for the ride." He smiled.

"No problem, so I'll see you later then?" I nodded.

"sure. " He smiled as I got out of his silver Volvo. I closed the door and waved at him through the window. After he drove away I smiled as I walked up the steps and leaned on the door to afraid to walk for the fear I might fall off of my feet. As soon as his car was out of sight I jumped with joy. "YES! Alice will never believe me!" I quickly ran up the stairs to my apartment readying myself for Alice's water works.
