I made my way out the door, locking it before jumping into the front seat of Alice's car. There was only one thing that I didn't think through all the way, Alice. She always had a tendency to know that something was wrong before I even felt it, she knew me better then I knew myself and right know thats was a bad thing.

"Morning Alice" I said cheerfully as I got in

"What is it?" She asked scrutinizing my face.

"What is what?" I asked, playing dumb.

"Something is different this morning." She said looking at me intently "Not only did you not chew me out about the horn, you were wide awake when I called you this morning, and it was only ten after seven. And on top of all that you seem....wierd this morning"

"I take offence to that" I said jokingly " I was already awake this morning when you called, Charlie was making an abnormal amount of noise this morning before he left, apparently searching for some of his fishing gear. I am not weird this morning, I'm just in a good mood, I know it's shocking but come on it's Firday."

She took one last look at my face, clearly not convinced, but for now she let it go. Instead she starting playfully criticising my choice of clothing this morning, complaining that I never wore any of the stuff she picked out for me when we went shopping. I had to admit that that was true.

"Whats wrong with this outfit?" I asked

"Nothing is WRONG with it exactly. But come on Bella, you're almost as gorgeous as me, why hide it with those clothes when you could play it up with the stuff you get when we go shopping" she said laughing

" Alright, alright. Next week I'll wear nothing but the stuff we bought last time we went shopping" I said, rolling my eyes "Better?"

"Much" she said with a laugh.

I laughed along with her, but my mind was wondering again. I kept my ears tuned to what she was saying, nodding and oohh'ing and uh huh'ing at the appropriate time. I couldn't stop thinking about how fast things were moving between me and Edward, it was insane and for everything I was worth I simply could not understand why he would pick me, of all people. Really I wasn't complaining because let's be honest, who would?

Edward was popular to say the least, and yet at the same time he seemed different. He, his borther Emmett and Alice, were the most popular kids at Forks high. Therefore I was fairly popular too, seeing as Alice was my best friend. Jasper, Alice's boyfriend, and Emmett were the star football players and Rosalie, Emmett's girlfriend, was by far one of the most gorgeous girls at the school, and like Alice had an out of this world fashion sense. She and Alice were constantly getting me to dress more like them, and I had to say that other then the occaisional day were I just felt like wearing normal clothes, they were starting to rub off on me, and I liked it.

But Edward....he was so much different then most people. He was absolutely gorgeous, which made him popular with the girls, another of the star football players, making him 'one of the jocks', but that never seemed to go to his head. Underneath it all he wasn't stuck up and he never tried to make other people feel bad about themselves, the classical popular kid cliché. In fact, none of the Cullens, Rose or Jasper were ever like that. They took their popularity with grace, which is probably why I fit into their crowd so well.

All day I thought of nothing but Edward. At lunch I took my usual place with Alice at out lunch table. It took me a second to notice, but Edward wasn't there. I scanned the cafeteria, but I couldn't spot him anywhere. It seemed strange, because he was usally always here. As nonchalantly as I could I asked Alice

"Where's Edward?"

"Oh he's going into work with Carlisle today, so he took the morning off to sleep. I really don't get whats is so fascinating about watching operations, they're so gross." she said

"Yuck, I know right, all that blood" I shivered "Gross"

We laughed and joined back into the conversations going on around the table. So that was why he changed it to Monday I thought to myself.

Alice and Rosalie, were deciding what to do tonight. They wanted to go shopping in Port Angeles, just us girls and then maybe a movie. It sounded good, and as much as I knew that they were going to insist on new outfits for all of us, I couldn't bring myself to not want to go. We that decided that we'd follow Rose home so she could ditch her car, and then we'd all go to Alice's to get ready. Rose and I practically lived there anyways so there was a vast majority of our stuff in Alice's closet. Not only that, but the three of us had the same shoe size and for the most part could switch clothes.

The rest of the day passed by rather uneventufully. By the time the final bell rang I was overjoyed. I don't think I could have stood one more minute listening to my spanish teacher drone on and on about some insignificant little verb conjugation. I stopped at my locker to drop off the books I didn't need and grab my jacket. As usuall Alice appeared within minutes, having already been to her locker and rushing me along.

"Every minute you waste at your locker is a shopping minute gone" she said

I laughed and said dramatically "Heaven forbid"

She laughed and we headed out to her car. Rose was parked beside her and we both pulled out and headed for her house.

"I should probably give Charlie a quick call, let him know I won't be home until late" I said to myself

"Yeah, cuz he won't dream that his 17 year old daughter is going out on a Friday night." she said with a smile "We only do that...EVERY week"

"True" I said, already dialing

It rang three times before he finally answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey dad, its me"

"Hey Bells, how was your day?" he asked

"Pretty good" I said "Just thought I'd call and let you know that I'm going out with Alice and Rose tonight, so I'll probably be kinda late"

"Like I didn't expect that" he said with a laugh "It's no problem Bells, you girls have fun"

"Thanks dad, we will" I said "Oh and there is some leftover lazagna in the fridge all you have to do is heat it up"

"Ah you are the best Bells" he said, definitely grateful

"No problem dad" I said "Don't wait up, ok? I'm not sure how late I'll be"

"Ok" he said "And by the way that reminds me, I'm heading to La Push tommorw to watch the game with Billy, thought I'd let you know now in case I'm already gone in the morning. I may or may not be back until late tomorrow night, but I'll call and let you know"

"Sounds good, have fun" I said

"I will, thanks Bells"

"Bye dad"

"Bye"

I hung up the phone and threw it back into my bag.

"What'd he say?" Alice asked as we pulled up in front of Rosealie's house

"His exact words were 'Like I didn't expect that'" I laughed

"Told ya!" she said with a smug smile.

"Yeah yeah" I said "We can't all be psychic like you"

"Hahaha I'm not psychic, I'm just that good" she said.

"Oh Boy" I said "How can someone so tiny be so incredible full of themselves?"

She laughed again and said "Because...I'm just that good!"

A few minutes later Rosalie jumped into the back seat and we were speading away towards the Cullen's house.
