A/N: Blame my stupid Laptop for this late update. I had the whole chapter finished and ready to be edited when the computer crashed and decided it didn't want to recover my file. So I had to not only start it again but also fix up my Itunes which it decided to kill as well.

This chapter unfortunately is alot shorter than I planned and because of that you might be a teensy bit angry. Sorry!

Any-who thank you for your feedback. Not only did you get past my request of 85 but you got past 100 reviews! You amaze me!

In regards to the answers you guys gave me: Majority rules.

You're just gonna have to wait and see what you chose.

Thanks again to my awesome Beta in the hallway with jeans

Go check out Storyteller xx and her stories. Awesome.

ENJOY!

"By the way," he whispered before he left. "That colour looks lovely on you." He smiled his crooked grin and walked back towards his house.

I opened my door and walked into the house. Closing the door I leaned against it, breathing rapidly and inwardly squealing.

I was too far gone. Too late to turn back now.

***********

One week later:

"Bella, will you hurry up!" screeched Alice from her perch atop her precious yellow Porsche.

"Alright! Alright! I'm coming!" I cried, struggling to carry my heavy book bag whilst running towards Alice.

"We have exactly four hours to make you gorgeous!" She shrieked as I came closer, it was a wonder I wasn't deaf by now.

"Are you saying I'm not already gorgeous?" I teased.

"You're already gorgeous Bella," Rose said as I lowered myself and my heavy book bag onto the back seat, "The question is whether you can see it."

"Pfft." I snorted, clearly I was not going to win this conversation.

When we arrived at Alice's house I was dragged harshly and with unnecessary force up into Alice's bathroom where Rose and Alice began laying out thousands of different beauty products.

I took in a ragged breath, this was going to be painful.

I sat down in the seat that they had kindly brought in for me and squeezed my eyes shut. From past experiences I knew that Alice went psycho if I looked in the mirror before the 'final product' and I wasn't in the mood to face the wrath of Alice.

I sat there patiently for over 2 hours as they poked and prodded my face and tugged and pulled at my hair. I was brave, only letting out an occasional yelp when Alice prodded or poked too hard. She didn't realise her own strength.

After they had finished I was lead to Alice's bed still with my eyes closed and they helped me into the outfit they had both picked out for me. It being my first date I was allowed absolutely no say in the matter.

After at least another half an hour of continued torture they were finally done.

I was lead again to the bathroom and told to open my eyes.

I opened my eyes and noticed my glasses were gone, all I could see was fuzzy outlines of objects.

"Oops, that's what I forgot." said Alice. Shuffling was heard to my right and I made out the blurred outline of Alice coming towards me.

"Where are my glasses?"

"I want to try something." explained Alice. With her fingers she opened my eyes further and placed something into my eyes.

"Ouch." I screamed, fanning my hands to make the pain stop.

"I'm sorry, it'll only feel uncomfortable for a minute." She then reached over to do the other eye.

"No." I shook my head, palms raised and backing away from her, "No way."

"Rosalie!" she called out the door of the bathroom.

Rosalie came into the bathroom and restrained my hands so I couldn't move.

"No! Stop!" I screamed.

"Hush Bella. You'll thank me for this later." scolded Alice, putting the other thing in my eye. It stung like crazy.

"You can open your eyes now Bella." chirped Alice.

I slowly opened my eyes and gasped at my reflection in my mirror. Alice had given me contacts, and to say I looked different was an understatement. The reflection looked nothing like me. Alice had dressed me in a billowy blue top with a floral print and blue three quarter skinny jeans that hugged my legs. Rosalie had straightened my hair and taken the front part and put into the back in a quiff. For once in my life I looked good.

"Wear these." Alice instructed, holding out a pair of brown strappy heels.

"Are you kidding?" I screeched, "The heels are huge! I'll die!"

"Don't be such a drama queen Bella. They're perfect. They complete the outfit." Alice pouted, clearly hurt.

"Ok." I sighed, looking defeated.

I instantly felt guilty, I was being ungrateful. I ran up to Alice and Rosalie and pulled them into a huge hug.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I cried, squeezing tighter.

Alice beamed at me, "My masterpiece is complete." She laughed, giving me an appraising look.

She glanced at her watch and widened her eyes. "Look at the time Bella. You only have fifteen minutes to meet Jacob at the movies." She pushed me out the door and rushed me down the stairs into the living room where Emmett, Jasper and Edward had plonked themselves down to watch TV.

"Hi guys! Bye guys." I called as Alice rushed me towards the door.

All three guy's stared at me as if I had grown a third eye.

"Holy Crap Bella, is that you?" Emmett asked, his eyes and mouth both wide open. He reminded me of a fish.

"You look good." said Jasper, giving me an appraising nod, "You honestly don't look like yourself without those glasses."

"Thanks." I said quietly, determined not to look at Edward. From what I could see in my peripheral vision he was still staring at me with a look of amazement on his face. I think he may have gone into shock. I bit my lip and made my way to the door.

"Hold up Bella," said Emmett coming over to me, giving me a stern glance, "I really hope I don't have to have the birds and the bees talk with you."

"Emmett!" I mumbled, blushing and looking down at my feet.

"And if Jacob so much as touches you I swear I will....." He threatened, his sentence cut short by the sudden appearance of Rosalie.

"Do absolutely nothing, Emmett." She frowned menacingly, crossing her arms and staring pointedly at her boyfriend.

Her expression changed as she looked to me again. "Have fun sweetie, you look stunning."

"Love you guys." I called out as Alice opened the door and I made my way towards Alice's Porsche.

I was meeting Jacob at the movies and he would be taking me home afterwards and Alice had kindly offered to give me a ride there.

As we were driving towards the cinema's my stomach started to do flips and I began to feel nauseous. This would be my first date ever and I was afraid I would mess up and do the wrong thing or worse yet it would turn out that he only asked me out on a date for a dare.

I started fidgeting, wringing my hands and tapping my feet to try and distract myself. As we pulled up I could see Jacob waiting for me near the doors of the cinemas. I began slowly breathing in and out, I didn't need to start hyperventilating at this precise moment.

"It'll be fun. Just relax and be yourself." Alice reassured me as I unbuckled my seatbelt and moved to get out of the car.

I smiled and blew her a kiss as I made my way towards Jacob.

"Hi." I said nervously, biting my lip.

"Bella? Is that you?" The same shocked expression on his face as the one's Em, Jazz and Edward had on their faces.

"Yup." I said, popping the 'p'.

"Wow. You look amazing." He replied as he took my arm and led me through the doors.

"Thanks." I mumbled, I was never one to take compliments easily.

"So, I don't really have a grudge against chick flicks and there's one that I saw an ad for that got me interested." He explained as we made our way to the concession booth. "So whaddya think? You think you might like it?" He asked, pointing to the sign advertising the movie.

How ironic. The movie was called He's Just Not That Into You.

Well this will be interesting, I thought to myself.

Jacob paid for our tickets and proceeded towards the candy bar where he bought practically one of everything.

I looked at him shocked as he bought his purchases and gestured for me to follow him towards the table, we had a little wait before they opened the cinema.

"Are you seriously going to eat all of that food?" I asked astonished, looking at all the food he had bought with wide eyes.

"Hey! I'm a growing man." He pouted, gesturing for me to take some popcorn, "Plus I won't be eating this all myself."

"How considerate." I replied sarcastically, smirking as I watched him stuff his face. He reminded me alot of Emmett, and the amount of food he could cram into his mouth really did amaze me.

"We can go in now." He pointed, as an employee took away the sign that said 'cleaning in progress.'

We made our way into the cinema and took our seat. I sat back as the lights dimmed and waited for the movie to start.

Jacob was right, it wasn't your average chick flick and I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. It definitely had some funny moments and I was surprised at how many useful tips it had on dating.

A few times during the movie I felt Jacob's arm creep over the back of the chair and near my shoulder. Every time this would happen I would calmly bring his arm back over the seat and onto his own lap, I was definitely not going to encourage him. I could see his smirk from the light of the screen, if he thought I was going to give into him then he had another thing coming.

As the movie ended and the lights were brought back on I looked back over to Jacob and noticed he had eaten every single thing he had bought. I shook my head, so much like Emmett it wasn't funny.

"That was interesting." I smirked, pointing to the crumbs all over his clothes.

"I'm full." He sighed, patting his stomach.

"I'll bet you are." I giggled and looked at my watch.

"I think we should leave. The staff are giving us funny looks." I said as the boys who I assumed were cleaners were glaring at Jacob.

"Yeah, I should probably get you home." He sighed, looking as though he regretted saying that.

We stood up and I laughed as the crumbs that had clung themselves to Jacob's clothes drifted like snow onto the floor. I immediately felt sorry for the cleaners as we walked past them.

Jacob led me to his car and we got in. As Jacob started his car he turned to me, "I had a great time tonight Bells." He said, smiling at me.

I instantly felt guilty, "Me too." I smiled, patting his shoulder.

As we fell into a comfortable silence, I wallowed in guilt. He was such a nice guy. I felt horrible for leading him on. I had a great time but I didn't feel a pull towards him as I did towards Edward.

I just didn't see him as anything other than a friend and I knew immediately that I could not go through with my plan to make Edward jealous.

Jacob pulled up outside my house and led me up my porch and to my door.

"I really did have a good time Jacob." I said smiling at him.

"Me too." He replied grinning.

I turned to open my door when he lightly grabbed my arm and turned me towards him. I looked up as he took a step towards me and lowered his face towards mine.

Time slowed down as I inwardly fought with myself. Should I kiss him? Or should I pull away.

As his face came closer to mine I had come to a decision.

I knew what I was going to do.


*A/n: I know. You hate me right?

Sorry. It had to be done.

And thanks to you awesome people, the next chapter is already underway. You were so quick to answer me and I definitely don't want you to wait long.

I have a special treat for my 150th reviewer. I know I might not get to 150 for a while or maybe not at all. But if i do happen to get to 150 the 150th reviewer will receive a sneak peek at a future chapter that will be so much fun for me to write! I really can't wait to write it! You'll receive a very rough plan but you'll have an idea of what it's about before anyone else. Lucky you!

Keep reading and reviewing and I'll keep showing you my love.

Be safe,

Lana
