Thank you guys so much for the reviews! Really appreciate it. Sorry about not continuing my other stories, my computer didn't like

me for a while, but this story is now my first priority (on fanfiction) and I'll try to update at least every 3 days at the latest!

Hope you enjoy!

"Oh. Edward." She nodded while swallowing heavily. "Yeah, I think I met him. The bronze haired one right?" She asked, her voice shaking.

Alice smirked at her friends nervousness but tried to act as innocent as she could.

"Yep." She replied. "Didn't you dance with him at the party a couple of years ago?"

Bella once again gulped, the nerves now taking over completely as she remembered the night she first met him.

It was dark outside the Cullens' house, the trees casting shadows so large that hardly any light from the horizon had a chance of shining. The

only light was those of the outdoor dance floor which was now empty as Bella walked down the steps of the back porch.

She looked up at he party lights draped around the fence surrounding the garden. The green lights reminding her of the eyes, belonging to a

man who had caught her eye just a while earlier.

"Bella right?" asked a velvety voice from behind her.

She turned to see those emerald eyes staring into her chocolate brown ones.

"Yeah, that's me." She smiled nervously. "You're Edward, Ali's cousin right?" She asked, acting as nonchalant as she possibly could,

although she was nearly sure he could see that there was no way she would ever forget his name.

He smiled gently at her, a simple nod as a reply.

They stood in an awkward silence for a few seconds, although it felt like centuries to both of them.

Edward was first to break the silence.

"Would you like to dance, Bella?" He asked, his eyes never leaving hers. Bella felt like they were burning straight through her soul. 'YES!'

screamed the voice in her head, but Bella knew better than to humiliate herself and dancing was one of the ways she would end up doing

exactly that.

"Thanks Edward, but in my opinion it really should be against the law to let clumsy people like me anywhere near the dancefloor." She said,

forcing a laugh at the end.

Edward bit his lip while smiling. 'Oh dear God, he is so gorgeous' said the voice once again. He took her hand and led her up the stairs to the

outdoor dancefloor. He held her left hand up in the air with his and put the other on her waist, feeling the silk of her light blue dress.

"Don't worry," he said leaning down to whisper in her ear, "it's all in the leading."

They smiled at eachother and slowly swayed to the music that they could hardly hear over the sound of their hearts pounding.

They danced for what seemed like hours, before being interrupted by a certain pixie.

"Hey Bella! There you are!" She shouted walking out the patio doors, eyeing them suspiciously but keeping her mouth sealed. "Um, Rose is

leaving now so she said if you wanted a ride, you'd need to go now." She said while trying to hold the ever forcing smirk that was tugging at

her lips.

"Uhh yeah Alice, tell her I'll be there in a sec." Bella replied, mentally kicking herself and Rose for not staying later.

Edward started walking her down the steps, letting her lean on his arm for balance.

"It was really nice meeting you Bella Swan." Edward whispered in her ear, causing her to near faint right there and then.

Edward couldn't get over her beauty. The way her brown hair fell perfectly around her face, the way her smile was absolutely mesmerising

and the way her chocolate brown eyes were like a gateway to her soul, every emotion shone through them. Bella Swan was absolutely

beautiful.

"It was nice meeting you too Edward Cullen."

Back in reality, Bella Swan watched as students piled through the school doors as she slowly took small steps in the same direction, dreading

seeing those emerald eyes once again.

'Here we go.' The voice whispered.

Thank you all for reading, I hope you weren't disappointed and I hope you're excited for the next chapter, which will be up REALLY soon.
