You really don't need to here what I was going to say since you already know.

Edward's POV

"Bella, Bella Swan." I yelled as I ran through the hallways. She stopped walking and turned around, grinning at me as I approached her.

"Can I help you, Mr. Cullen?" she asked with a small smirk playing on her lips.

"Yeah, actually you can. I was wondering if you'd like to sit with me and my friends at lunch today."

Angela opened her mouth to say something, but Rosalie's hand snapped over her mouth, getting an icy glare sent her way from Angela.

"I'd love to." Bella said.

I felt my lips turn up into a smile. "Great, I'll meet you at your locker after fourth hour." I said.

Bella smiled and then we both turned around to walk in opposite directions. Emmett attacked me as I rounded the corner, and held his hand up for me to high five. I smiled widely after high fiving him and we ran to first hour, not wanting to get another detention for being late.

"What should I tell my pen pal?" Emmett asked from beside me.

I looked up at the board seeing that our topic is Something that we want and then looked back at him. I shrugged my shoulders as I chewed on the cap of my pen. "Dunno bro, something stupid like how you want a bigger dick."

Emmett grinned. "I'm glad you're my best friend." He said and started writing.

Iz,
One thing that I want right now is a huge bowl of Mac n Cheese. I woke up late this morning, so I didn't have time for breakfast and now I'm starving. But overall, one thing that I want is a Nintendo 64 cause it's the best gaming system ever. I think my parents are getting me one as a graduation gift. They won't tell me for sure, but I have a good feeling that they are. By the way, thanks for the advice, I took it and now I have plans to hang out with this girl. Cool, right? Don't go thinking that you get all the credit though; I know girls sometimes like to do that. My friends pushed me to ask her too, and I believe I should get the most credit since I'm the one who actually asked her. Just saying.
Anthony.

PS, I can't believe you hung out with someone out of pity. That doesn't seem like you at all, but you definitely just gained a little bit more respect from me.

The next three classes could not have one by any slower. My leg bounced in anticipation as I stared at the clock. I was so anxious that I couldn't even sleep in algebra. When the bell that signaled that fourth hour was over finally rang I jumped out of my desk and shot into the hallway. I sighed in relief when I saw Bella already at her locker. She gave me a warm smile as I approached.

"Ready for lunch?" I asked as I held my arm out for her.

"Absolutely." She said with a grin as she looped her arm through mine.

"Alright, just letting you know though, Emmett may try to steal your Elmo lunchbox."

She gasped. "No!"

After I drug Bella through the lunch line with me, we finally made it to my table. Everyone greeted us, and gave Bella a warm smile, especially Alice. Bella pulled out her lunch and Emmett gasped.

"Is that a pb&j?!" he asked excitedly.

Bella laughed. "Yeah, want half?" she asked as she handed him the second half of her sandwich.

"Do I ever!" Emmett exclaimed and took it from her. "Man, pb&j sandwich, Elmo lunchbox, you're the coolest, Bella. You should always eat lunch with us." Emmett said with a grin.

"I agree, it would be so nice to not be the only girl here." Alice said.

Bella laughed as she bit off a piece of her apple. "Well, I guess if I'm invited to eat lunch with you guys in the future, then I will."

Jasper laughed. "You're always welcome, right Edward?"

Bella looked over at me. "Of course." I said and slung my arm around her shoulders. "You never need an invitation to eat with us."

She laughed. "Good to know, because I can already tell that lunch with you guys is much more fun then lunch with my other friends."

"Hells yeah, no one is more fun than us." Emmett said and held his hand up for her to high five.

Bella looked at his hand and then over at all of us. She grinned, but made no move to high five Emmett.

"Bella, c'mon." Emmett whined.

"He won't put his hand down until you high five him." I informed her.

"Really?" she asked upping her eyebrows.

"Really." All four of us said together.

She laughed and looked back at Emmett. His bottom lip was jutted out and he wimped lightly. Bella laughed and took another bite out of her apple, ignoring him.

"Yes, please eat lunch with us every day." Jasper said grinning.

Bella's POV

"Bella, seriously think about what you're doing." Angela said.

I rolled my eyes. "I'm hanging out with Edward, it's really not a big deal."

"You know he's broken every girl's heart that he's ever dated." Mike said.

"And how would you know that?" I shot back.

"Seriously guys, lay off. Edward isn't a bad guy." Rosalie said.

"Thanks Rose, now let's get to class before we're late." I said and drug her away.

"You know, in a twisted way, they're just trying to protect you." Rose said lightly once we sat down.

I sighed. "I know, but I'm so tired of them always on my back about this. They don't even know him, and he's not a bad guy. And I'm going to hang out with him, no matter what they say."

Rosalie smiled. "Good, because you totally love him."

I rolled my eyes, and looked down at my piece of paper so she wouldn't see my blush. I picked my pencil up and started writing.

Anthony,
I am so proud/excited that you and this girl are hanging out! Sure, you can have the most credit for growing a pair and asking her, but I do claim a small amount for giving you the extra push to do so. I hope all goes well on your date thing! You seem like a really awesome guy, so this girl is very lucky to have you interested in her. The one thing I want is a puppy. I've wanted one for so long, but my parents always told me no. I used to have one when I was a kid; his name was Chester, but someone stole him. It was pretty much one of the saddest days of my life. Maybe I'll get a puppy for my graduation gift. Probably not, but one can dream.
Iz.

PS, Pity hang outs aren't something I do often, but sometimes they must be done.

Butterflies erupted in my stomach when I saw Edward leaned against my locker after school. He grinned as I approached and moved so I could get into my locker. After I tossed my Trig book, both notebooks, and my lunchbox in my backpack I closed my locker and turned to him.

"I'm ready when you are."

"Great, let's get going." He said and took my hand in his, leading me out to the senior parking lot and over to his car.

"So where are we going?" I asked as I flipped through his cds.

"Mall?" he asked as he looked over at me.

"What girl wouldn't want to go to the mall?"

He grinned and I changed his Green Day cd for Third Eye Blind, turning up Jumper and started singing along. Edward smiled at me from the corner of his eye and started singing too as he drove to the mall.

"So Bella, tell me something about yourself." Edward said as we sat at the food court.

I sipped my iced tea and shrugged my shoulders. "What do you want to know?"

"What do you do in your spare time?" he asked.

"Well besides tennis, I hang out with Rosalie, play barbies with my little sister, and occasionally go to the mall with random boys." I said, ending in a smirk. "What about you?"

"Video games and my band pretty much consume my time. But you know, every now and then I find a girl I like enough to let cut into that time."

I felt my cheeks blush and I popped a french fry in my mouth. "Favorite color?" I asked him.

"Blue, it's the best."

"If by blue you really mean green, then yes I agree, it is the best."

Edward laughed lightly and stole a drink of my iced tea. He grinned as he passed the glass back and forth between his hands before I stole it so I could have a drink.

"What would you think about hanging out more often?" he asked randomly.

"I think that I would like that very much."
