Okay. Since book reports are all done I have more update time! I'm also going to try to make my entries longer. I thought of this and then decided whether it should be either Naruto or Twilight. I chose twilight just because I can see it more as Edward. And I don't have any twilight stories, just one shots and I've been meaning to do a story. So that's a bonus. AH and AU!
Disclaimer: I have the posters pined in my locker, the hoodie hanging on the coat rack, and I'm plotting to trick my mom into taking me shopping for the CD. Even though we count the days till the movie everyday at school I do not own! Shall we grovel at Stephanie Meyer's feet, for she is greater than all.

"So, what are you doing tonight?" I glanced up at my best friend of seven years, Edward Cullen. Some kids around here thought it was weird for us to be best friends when he was a guy and I was a girl. We don't see anything odd about it though.
Edward was every girls dream guy and even though I told him almost everyday that he had no need to worry about his grades since he could make a million bucks by being a supermodel anyways he got straight A's. Smart and hot. Only adding to the attraction. He had bronze hair that was always messy though it looked best that way. It wasn't the kinda messy that means a guy doesn't care about his hair, oh no. Edward took pride in always looking his best. He would brush or comb his hair-and I know I've seen him- and then just run his hand through it and that's how he would go through the day.
I was Bella. Isabella Swan. I, like Edward, was seventeen and a senior. Not much to say about my looks. I have brown hair and brown eyes. I'm pale and skinny and short. I trip a lot. That's about it.
I looked away at some freshman who were late to class and grinned as they ran. "Oh you know, English project." His eyes flickered.
"You haven't done it yet?' I smiled. Edward always did things as soon as he got them.
"Nope, haven't even finished the book." I normally had the book for my book report done the day after we got it, but this book I had been given was so boring and I just could not focus on it. Even though it was so small, only a mere 205 pages the book was the just…out there. I felt sad because I chose a eighth grade level book for something easy and couldn't do it.
I was ashamed.
"What are you reading?" I sighed.
"Catherine, called Birdy. I'm going to buckle down and read it tonight. It's not so much boring as…just the way its written. Dairy form. Middle ages. I'm just not comprehending the way I normally do." He nodded.
"Well make sure you get it done. Would you like me to come over and help you?" I smiled at his chivalrous gesture. That's what I loved about Edward. Always a gentleman and always wanting to help. Such a good friend.
"No, that's okay. You know Charlie doesn't like you coming over." My dad had a problem with boys. He knew how I was so mature for my age and hated it whenever I hung out with Edward, though he knew we were no more than friends. He was right though, on one thing. I was mature. That only meant that I could understand and handle the things going on around me.
Edward gave something similar to a smirk. "Ah yes. Well I guess I could send Alice over." I almost grimaced. Alice was his sister, and though I loved her dearly like a sister she never helped me with my work really. She would sit there and play with my hair or talk about fashion or how we should go to the mall next time we were in town.
None of those things really perked my interest.
I sighed again-a sign of stress. "No thanks. I can do this on my own Edward." He grinned his signature crooked smile.
"Don't fail on me." I grinned back.
"I wont."
As we walked down to our locker, which we share as most best friends do, we contemplated on where to go for lunch. There was the new Burger place down the street but I didn't want to chance it if it wasn't good because we only get one hour. There was also the 'grab-and-go' as we called it, where we went to a gas station and just grabbed whatever snacks we could find in there. We finally decided on a Sub place that was just around 6 blocks from the school. We would've walked probably too, if it hadn't been for the cold.
The food there was always good and healthy was a plus. We went there a lot but had recently stopped going because their soda machine was down and everyone knows water just doesn't fill that gap.
They had fixed the machine last week but we hadn't gotten into going. I had been busy with my new boyfriend, Mike. (A/N: Okay, I know that's kinda gross and whatever, but I had to do it. Just…bear with me on this one.) I didn't normally go out with a guy unless I really liked him. Mike was nice, decent grades and decent looks. He did however, have one problem that drove me up a wall.
He was a pervert.
I know it isn't a very nice thing to say about ones boyfriend but he is. Not all the time or trust me I wouldn't be dating him. Just out in public, when we were alone he was sweet and nice. But when there were people around he acted like a was a trophy-a prize.
Edward didn't like it to much. He constantly told me to dump him. He said that Mike wasn't worthy of me and if he acts that way to impress his friends than there was no way he loved me or ever could love me.
Edward was that way with stuff like this. He believed that you shouldn't date someone for long at all unless you think you might love them one day or that they might love you. This is why he didn't date much. When we were younger around 14 and 15 and girls started to ask him out he would go on a date with them and if they were good and he liked them he would go on another date with them.
Girls didn't really make it past a second date. It was almost unheard of. Almost.
It was this one girl named Jessica, and she got four dates. Amazing, I know. He didn't really like her to much but he had told me that he thought she was nice and collected and mature. So he went on more dates. I don't really know why he dumped her. I guess they just didn't have any chemistry. We didn't really talk about it much, no one did but I had always wondered why one day she was at our table during lunch then gone the next (since it was an Edward thing to take the girl he was going to date that night to eat lunch with us). When we had asked that day he just replied that she was very nice but wasn't the one for him and she didn't just want to be friends so we wouldn't be seeing much of her anymore.
I've always wondered what its like when Edward breaks up with you. Well, I used to. He doesn't date much since almost every girl has had one shot with him already. But it's not that I haven't seen him break up with girls so much as felt it. If you were going to take a chance and go out with him you already know that you have a ninety-five percent chance of being dumped. And that was just it. When he broke up with girls they would cry and stuff and it wasn't right when Edward was trying to be all polite and nice and sweet. And sometimes I didn't understand how they could even call him their boyfriend if they had only gone out with them once.
As we pulled into the parking lot and Edward went over to open my door I contemplated more on Edwards dating. No matter how hard I tried I just couldn't see anyone kissing Edward. He had never kissed before, though some girls had tried he refused or ducked or whatever and the though repulsed me. It was just…wrong. Edward was like my big brother and watching some girl sit there and kiss your big brother is disgusting.
"Bella? You coming?" I smiled up at him when he opened my door for me, which was a total Edward thing to do.
"Yeah, thanks Edward."
Well? What do you think? Took a little longer than I expected but I think it turned out good.
Next chapter will be up when I reach hm…we'll go short number first. Five reviews. So the days I get the fifth review I'll post the next chapter.
So R&R!
