Bella left for work, leaving me alone with the most gorgeous boy I had ever seen and people I had just met the day before. I was nervous and excited at the same time.

The radio soon became background noise for the group as we all, again, began talking. Not knowing what to say, I kept my mouth shut and watched Edward. His silent laughter never making its way to my ears, but I felt it all the some. His green eyes darting towards me every time I moved. I was beginning to get nervous around him, which was odd cause back home; I ALWAYS hung out with guys. But Edward was different. Jasper and Emmett didn't seem to have any effect on me either. What is going on?

"Man, I'm starving," Emmett moaned.

"Babe, you're always starving," Rosalie playfully bantered. Glancing at the clock, I noticed it was getting pretty late.

"Does someone need to take you home, Bailey?" Alice sat up.

"Yeah. I don't have my license here yet but once I get it, I'll be no trouble," I smiled, stating to get up.

"Edward, you can take her home right? I mean, your car is just right outside and I think it's blocking mine," Jasper suggested. Edward looked at him funny.

"What do you mea- Ow! Alice, what was that for?" Edward began rubbing his ankle, glaring at Alice.

"I don't know what you're talking about, maybe you can think about it while you drive Bailey home." Alice looked so innocent.

The car ride home wasn't that long, but it was really awkward. I had no idea what to say to this living god that was sitting just mere inches away. We sat in silence for so long and the words I desperately wanted to say were trapped in my throat. I was pretty positive that Bella liked Edward, but she never said anything before. Making a mental note to ask her later, I stared at the millions of trees that surrounded Edward and I in his silver Volvo.

"So," Edward broke the silence into a million pieces, "Uh…If you want, you can sit with us at lunch tomorrow." We were almost to my house.

"Sure, that would be great," I looked away and smiled at the thought of lunch with Edward Cullen.

"And just remember, you are beautiful and smart and awesome so don't let anyone let you think otherwise tomorrow. Here we are." Edward pulled his elegant car into the driveway.

"Until tomorrow," He whispered, getting out and opening the door for me.

I nodded like an idiot, not knowing how to respond to the words he said to me. Walking into the house, I glanced back and watched Edward drive away.

EPOV

I watched her practically dance into the house. She was so graceful and elegant. And I had called her beautiful right to her face. She hadn't said anything, so I prayed that she didn't see me as some sort of freak or anything. I drove back home in silence, letting my own thoughts roam freely about what had just happened. I'm pretty sure I was beginning to fall for Bailey. When I arrived back home, Mom had just put dinner on the table and everyone was gathered around it.

"How was Bailey, Edward?" Mom asked, setting the steaming bowl of pasta on the table.

"She was good. I just hope she's not too nervous about tomorrow," I replied.

"She'll do fine. She already has more friends than Bella did on her first day." Emmett joked.

I hope he was right.

APOV

I could feel Jaspers heartbeat while leaning against him. His rhythmic heart kept my mind calm while watching Edward watch Bailey. I wanted to badly to shout at them to just kiss, but they hardly knew each other. Poor Bailey, she loses both of her parents and has to leave all her friends behind to move to a place where the sun hardly even shines.

After Edward left to go take her home, everyone started talking.

"He totally loves her." I stated, sitting up to smooth my shirt.

"But what about Bella?" Rosalie asked, "Did her and Edward have a thing last year?"

"It didn't work out, he was just too much of a friend, remember?" Emmett said.

"I hope this works out. They just need to talk some more and hang out with out the rest of us there. It'll make it less awkward." I stated. It was true. Bailey didn't seem to do too well with everyone being right next to her when she was with Edward.

"Is that why you sent Edward to take her home?" Jasper piped in, a grin on his face.

"Maybe," I burst out laughing and everyone else followed.

Tomorrow was going to be interesting.
