"This seat taken?"

"…"

"Would it be alright if I join you?"

"…"

"Come on Bella, you can't ignore me forever."

"I've done well so far."

"Ha! You noticed me."

"Whatever."

"What are you reading?"

"Harry Potter."

"Oh."

"What did you want Edward?"

"Truce?"

"I see."

"Bella, this is getting kind of ridiculous."

"I don't know what you're talking about Edward."

"It's just been weeks since you called me. And you won't answer any of my phone calls."

"I had nothing to say."

"Bella?"

"What."

"I broke it off with Jessica."

"Oh?"

"Yeah, she wasn't worth ruining us."

"Okay."

"Just okay?"

"Edward?"

"Yes Bella?"

"I'm not going to the formal with Jake."

"Oh, why not?"

"He wasn't worth it."

"So since I'm not going with Jessica and you're not going with Jake…"

"Yeah?"

"Do you, I mean… would you like to go, to the formal, with me?"

"You want to take me. To the dance? "

"Yeah."

"Why?"

"Because I would rather go with my best friend. I mean, we are still friends, right?"

"Yes Edward, you're still my friend."

"Good."

"Edward?"

"Yeah?"

"I'll be happy to go the formal with you."

"Bella?"

"Hmm?"

"Thank you."
