Disclaimer: I do not own twilight, nor am I making any profit from this story. Twilight and twilight characters belongs to Stephenie Meyer. However, this plot is entirely mine.

My Birthday- It was fun(: I had brownies, and cake, and cookies. Then I went t dairy queen! I'm surprised I didn't die from all that eating! As expected, my parents gave me money and tomorrow they're taking me to the mall! The best gift of ALL though, was the helpful reviews. What could I do without them?

I promise you, I read every review and take it into account. Like the one saying something like, 'I think Edward Blushes too much.' I thought, maybe your right. So, the next chapter I tried to stop that. I also got one on last chapter saying, 'Don't rush this story' I think this was a compliment in disguise and I really appreciated this one. So thank you TwilightFan104 and KNowiski for your input and also, everyone else who has reviewed!

You have no idea how much I appreciate those supportive reviews! The ones with ideas for future chapters, helped also! As promised, I will update the more your review. Therefore, Chapter six!

Also, I was going to update but fanfiction was having some minor dificulties, I don't know if it was just me or if everyone was having this problem but it caused me to delay this chapter.

After Bella left, I don't think I got a second of sleep. I was so confused, I've never felt this way before. I thought about talking to Alice, not about Bella's 'after school activates' but about the way I felt about her. I quickly diminished that thought from my mind. Even if I kept who I liked a secret from her, she would still know I liked someone and probably wouldn't stop talking about it until I finally gave in and told her who it was, and because it Alice, it wouldn't take much. I thought about talking to Rosalie too. I know that she wouldn't act as immature and childish as Alice, but in a relationship like Rosalie's and Emmett, there are no secrets, and in a relationship with Emmett's brain and Emmett's mouth, there are no secrets.

So I couldn't talk to my friends about this problem. Was this a problem? Many kids my age like other kids my age of the oposite sex. So how is this a problem? I'm not some forty-year-old man! It's okay for me to like a girl. I wish I had more experience in this category. Then I would know when to hold her hand, when to kiss her, when to tell her I like her! Then she would hold my hand back, kiss me back, and like me back, like a normal girl. Like a normal couple.

But Bella Swan, isn't a normal girl; and there is no way we could form a normal couple.

Not with her being so popular, and me being, well not. Not with her sneaking into my room because, her dad sent her off. And most of all, not with me keeping her biggest secret, one that is hurting her. I can continue being her friend.

Friend. Someone who loves you and cares for you like family. They'll sooth you when you problems occur and show you the brighter side of things. On your birthday, they'll give you a present and make some wisecrack old joke. Friends tell you things will get better and tell you it's time for a change when you're dad abuse you.

But then a Boyfriend?

Boyfriends are someone who loves you and cares for you like you were the missing part in their life, because you are. When your problems come up, they'll tell you what you want to hear and do what you want to do, because they know exactly how you feel. On your birthday, they'll hug and kiss you and tell you they'll celebrate your 100th birthday just like this, because you will. When your dad is abusing you, Boyfriends take action.

Bella Swan doesn't want a boyfriend, she wants a friend.

Your parents tell you that nothing is impossible. That if you try hard enough, you can do anything and everything you want. They tell you that it's all about what you want and nobody else. I don't think that applies to relationships.

I think that's called rape.

So I'll stay Bella's friend. I will let her come into my room at night and spill those most inner secrets that are only for my ears. I will pretend like nothing is out of the usual at school. I will stop acting like I like her, because although I wasn't aware of it, Alice did.

But one thing I won't do is forget about liking her. I won't because then, I'll be back to that same lonely route I called a life. With no reason to smile, no reason to blush, just me and my grades and making everyone happy.

While living that life, it was fine. But now that I had a taste of what really living is, I don't want to go back. Even though I'm not going to tell Bella I like her, ever, just knowing that I do like her, I think is enough.

My alarm clock went off and successfully interrupting me from my thoughts.

I absent mindedly hopped in to the shower, letting the hot water run down my body for the first few minutes, then when to water changed its temperature to a slightly colder one i scrubbed my body and hair.

After the shower, instead of my usual combing it back I just towel dried it, ignoring its messy presence. I walked back into my room, from my connected bathroom. I pulled on some black boxers.

I threw on some light wash colored jeans and a black button-up, without tucking it in. I felt like a new person.

Slipping on my shoes, I ran downstairs where I knew breakfast was awaiting. I was greeted my mom and dad, I greeted back.

I grabbed a piece of toast and took it to go.

--------

I had finally arrived at school and was now taking out my journal for English, scribbling down random ideas for random projects. The warning bell rang and people began scrabbling into the classroom. Alice came in quickly and sat down next to me as usual, she looked guilty and she kept trying to make eye contact with me, I didn't want her bringing my mood down so I kept ignoring her.

Bella came in shortly after with a dark haired girl I didn't know. From the front of the classroom, she came me a smile, I couldn't help but to smile back. She took her seat and class began. We had to work on an essay with the people sitting next to us, I turned to Alice slowly, she was still staring at me, this time with wide eyes.

"What was that? You and Bella just smiled at each other! I know you hate my interfering but really Edward-"

"Save it Alice, me and Bella are just friends. Only friends. I don't want to be more and neither does she." She looked like she was about to object to something but then she glanced at Bella and let the conversation drop.

After a few minutes of silent work on our Essay, we split up the paragraphs and main ideas to write, Alice put down her pencil and let out a what seemed to be a frustrated sigh.

"Edward, are you still mad at everyone, from what happened at lunch?" I wasn't too sure if I really was. But really, how could everyone just keep something from me and not even have the decency to act like they're not hiding something from me!?

"I'll tell you what it was were weren't telling you if you want..." My head snapped up from the paper I had finished ten minutes ago. "We didn't want to say anything because we thought it might hurt you, since we thought that you liked Bella..." Oh god, did they know about Bella and her dad? I just nodded for her to continue. "Well I heard from Rose who heard from Jessica who heard from Mike himself, that he was going to ask out Bella...and I've seen the way they act, they're good friends."

Was I the only one who noticed Bella's distance laughs and forced smiles while around Mike?

"So we didn't want to upset you if Bella did say yes, but this morning Mike had finally asked her and she said 'no' for whatever reason..." For whatever reason? Alice knows everything that's why I have to be so careful around her when Bella comes into the conversation, so how could she not know why Bella turned down Mike? Unless, she was hiding yet another thing from me.

"Do you know why Bella said no?" Alice let out a booming laugh we caused all eyes on us, and a stern glare from Mr. Banner.

When Alice had calmed down, she began to speak, "Really Edward, who do you think I am? Of course I know why she said no." Alice still had a cocky smile plastered on her face.

"So then tell me why." I ordered in a frustrated growl. Alice shook her head furiously, "I couldn't do that Edward, it's Bella's and Mike's business only, nobody else's'!" Of course, Alice was an exception to the nobody.

Sorry this chapter is so short, I have another Idea but I couldn't add it to this chapter because it just wouldn't make sense.

So Review and we'll see when I update, which I'm guessing will we within Tuesday or Thursday.
