EPOV:

We all thought it would be a quit ordinary maybe even boring day. I have to confess that after we had met Bella, nothing was the same and especially not boring. But I know my friends and family so for my own sanity I am not going to say anything. If I even give them a hint that I like Bella they will throw a party or something like that. Alice is the only one looking forward to school, and if I know my sister that means that something's up.

I feel sorry for Jasper, I love my sister, but she has way too much energy. The moment the car stopped she ran out the car, clearly looking for someone. We all followed after her, when she sees Bella she stops, gasp and then yell.

"What are you wearing Bella? I did not leave that in your closet." The scene in front of me is rather funny, Alice had lost her good mood and Bella looked like a deer caught in headlights. I can literally see Bella trying to disappear into thin air, obviously very embaresd by Alice outburst. She is extremely cute while she is looking at her shoes like they held every answer in the world.

"I like these clothes Alice, I liked all my clothes and I would really like to get them back." We all looked really confused and Emmet was scratching his head trying hard to keep up.

"Bella I just want you to look even better, why won't you wear the clothes I bought you? Don't you Love me" I may not know what's going on, but Alice is using every card she has, and it looks like Bella is about to fold.

"Okay, freeze right there little pixie and little home wrecker klutz. I now that I am usually slow, but now we all are. So you either start explaining or you tell us exactly what's going on. "Rosalie hit Emmet on his head at this comment, but no one protested against his question.

"Bella won't wear the new and stylish and totally awesome clothes if I can say so myself. And I don't know why." Alice said, but at the same time Bella said:

"Alice has hidden or killed or possibly burned my clothes and replaced them with a ridicules wardrobe. And I don't know why". They were babbling at the same time so all I heard was:

"Bella, Alice, new, killed, awesome, replaced, myself, ridicules, and I don't know why"

"I am glad that cleared it up" mutters Rosie. We all stood there not really knowing what to do while the two girls continued their discussion.

"I will make a deal with you Bella. You try on the backup clothes I brought and if they agree with me and say that you look good, you'll wear the clothes. And if they say you look like whatever it is you think you look like then I will give you your clothes back." Now this seems like a fair deal, but I know my sister and she knows she will win.

"Fine, but don't laugh, and don't you dear tell them what to say Alice" she took the clothes and walked into the bathroom. We all stood there waiting for Bella to come out again. Alice is looking very pleased with herself; she doesn't even try to tell us what to say to Bella. A couple of minutes later Bella walked out and words cannot describe just how stunning she looks. It's a very simple look but the clothes fit her perfect. I have only known Bella for a week and she always looks great, but something is different now, and it is for the better. It is very clear that Bella was waiting for our reaction and it looks like she's expecting the worst.

"Bella, I saw you try on this clothes and I still think you look extremely hot in this outfit" – Rosie

"Bella you look great" – Jasper

"wow" – Emmet

Alice was grinning from ear to ear and looked like a 5 year old locked in a candy store. They all turned to me waiting for my reaction. But I had lost my ability to talk. Bella looked really hurt when I didn't say anything. She wiped away a tear and ran back into the girl's bathroom. I stood at the same spot stunned for a brief second before running in after her. Behind me I heard my family call me name based on my stupidity. I know Bella, knew that I was in the room, but she kept her back to me and was busy collection her own clothes, getting ready to change.

"Bella, please don't change your clothes, you look absolutely stunning in them. I am sorry I didn't say anything, but I really loved your outfit. I promise you that no one will laugh at you, mostly because they will swallow their toung when they see you. And if Tanya and her clones say anything it will be out of envy. Please Bella; don't change, please, for me." At one point during my speech Bella turned around and I gently wiped away her tears. She bit her lip while looking like she was thinking extremely hard about it before nodding, I couldn't stop my smile at this point.

"Now you must leave. This is the girls' bathroom. I will be right out". She started pushing me to the door.

"I will leave, stop pushing me. But can I just say that the girl's bathroom is a lot messier than I imaged." The last thing I heard of Bella before she closed the door was her amazing laugh. And now I must face my family, Alice stood whit her arms crossed and with look on her face that was a mix of anger and the look mom always has when Emmet is being Emmet at inappropriate time.

"Did you fix it? If you know you're on good, you fixed it." I just nodded. Moments later Bella appeared with her own clothes under her arm. Alice made Emmet put them in his car so she wouldn't have to carry them around all day. And I have never seen him run an errand so fast, but according to Jasper he had been making a lot of comments about how I had entered the secret place. And if I know Rose, she would have hit him in the head hard several times.

"You win Alice, if all of them agreed that I should wear these clothes. But I will pay you back."

"No Bella, look at it as a."

"Don't say gift. I will pay you back. After school you will come to my place with all the recites and I will find a way to pay you back. And don't give me that look Alice, it was nice of you, I think to want to update my style, but not for your own money." Alice lost her smile for about half a second before it was back, that can only mean that she has a plan. She agreed with a nod, a quick glance at Jasper told me the same thing I had figured out….Alice had her own way out of it.

The rest of us started walking to our classrooms. Alice had linked her arm to Bella and was smiling from ear to ear, Bella wasn't as happy but she is trying for Alice sake. All I could think about was our little moment in the girl's bathroom, the way her eyes lit up after she believed me, how soft her cheek was and how her laugh made me feel. I had never opened up like that to any other girl; I never talk from my heart to a girl. Who am I kidding I don't talk from my heart to anyone, I talk with my family and friends, but I never give so much of myself. I know Alice hope that Bella is the one for me, and that's why she keeps throwing her at me, but for the first time in my life I have me arms open and every time she throws Bella at me I don't want to let her go. Alice, Bella and I have reached our classroom and Alice bounces in but as expected Bella stops before entering. I put my hand on the small of her back trying to give her a little push and whispered in her ear.

"I promise that it will be fine, I will not leave your side. And if you still think going dressed like this was a total disaster after school we can raid my house in hope of finding your old clothes. And maybe hid some of Alice`s clothes." This made her laugh and blush, I love that blush as well. Bella reluctantly walked into the classroom and went straight to a desk in the back of the room, trying to blend in. But the reaction of the class was just as expected; everyone looked at her from the moment she stepped into the room and their eyes lingered on her until she sat down. Over the years we have grown used to the attention and it was clear that Bella wasn't and she absolutely hated it. I was making my way over to Alice and Bella, but so was every other male in the room.

"Eddie, did you have a nice weekend? How about spending the next with me, I could make it really interesting. When is the first football (soccer) game? You look real handsome today." I was surrounded by the groupies who were all clinging to me. And worst of all Bella was now sounded by drooling boys; I was going to make one of them move so I could sit next to her, but the teacher made me sit down just where I was. I shot a glance at Bella before Tanya dragged me down next to her, and she looked relived. I can't explain why, but it makes me sadder that I thought was possible. Maybe Alice was wrong about how Bella felt about me. But if Bella just wants to be friends, that's what I`ll be, no matter how much that hurts.

At home:

"What happened between you and Bella today, before school you seemed all lovey dovey, but at lunch you were back to your brooding creppy staring self." Everybody had been confused the whole day and Emmet was the only one left to bother me. Alice had gone over to Bella with the recites as promised.

"Its just.." my phone started to ring and it was Bella.

"Hi are you and Emmet, alone"

"Yes why"

"Good I need a favor. You have to take some of Alice's clothes hostage, take a picture of them and send it to me. Your sister is great, but when it comes to clothes I don't trust her"
