You really don't need to here what I was going to say since you already know.
Edward's POV
Topic of the day: How do you feel about love?
Emmett scoffed next to me and I turned and looked at him, seeing him shake his head as he pulled out a sheet of paper and started writing to his pen pal. I took my time, rereading Iz's letter again to put off having to write. Love isn't exactly a guy's favorite thing to talk about. I smiled lightly remembering that I had the coolest pen pal ever and then started writing.
Iz,
I guess I always knew that is such a thing as love since my parents have been happily married for quite some time and you can tell that they're in love. But for me, I wasn't really sure if I would ever find it. I've never really seen myself as a relationship kind of guy; I was more into one night stands. I'm not sure why, but I just could never picture myself being with the same girl for years and year. But then I met this girl and she's made me rethink everything. She's absolutely amazing and she makes me feel different than any other girl ever has. I mean she makes me nervous, which has never happened before, she gives me butterflies, I can't stop smiling when I'm around her, and every time we kiss it seems like it's better than the last one. So I guess it's safe to say that I do believe in love.

PS, I hope that you have or find someone who makes you feel like that.
"Dude, can you believe that Prom is tomorrow?" Emmett asked as we walked to our lockers.
I grinned as I remembered that Bella's my date and nodded my head. "Yeah, school is flying by. After Prom we only have a month left and then we're so out of here."
Emmett and I slapped high fives and I felt a pair of arms wrapped around my waist. I turned around seeing Bella grin up at me as she bit her lip.
"Hey there, gorgeous." I said as I leaned down and pressed my lips onto hers.
"Hi." She said as she giggled and laced our hands together. "Are you guys still coming to my match after school?" she asked as she looked between me and Emmett.
"Hell yeah! We're gonna cheer you on." Emmett said as he smiled brightly and Bella laughed.
"As long as you do it quietly. People get pissy if you're too loud and then they'll probably kick you out if they think that you're a distraction."
Emmett sighed heavily and shook his head. "We're so going to get kicked out."
I nodded in agreement and Bella laughed again. "It'll still be fun." I said and pecked her lips. "Wanna go out to eat afterwards?"
"Yeah that sounds fun."
Emmett cough loudly from beside us and I rolled my eyes. "You can come too, Emmett."I said and he punched the air in victory. "Why don't you invite Rosalie?"
"I think I will." She said and swung our locked hands back and forth.
"So Bella, excited for tomorrow?" Emmett asked and Bella's eyes lit up as her smile grew.
"I am so excited. We're going to have so much fun and you guys finally get to see my super cool dress and we get to ride in a limo. It's going to be awesome." She gushed and I laughed lightly.
"You're going to look beautiful." I said and she blushed.
"And that's my cue to leave. You guys are gonna get all mushy." Emmett said as he high fived both of us and walked away to find Jasper and Alice.
"I think he was implying that we're gross when we get mushy." Bella said as she faked hurt.
I laughed and slung my arm around her shoulders, pulling her into me and kissing the top of her head as we started walking down the hallway. "He's just jealous because he doesn't have a girl to compliment."
Bella grinned and pecked my lips. "I'll see you after school."
"Later." I said and clamped my mouth shut before three small words fell out.
I love you.
Bella's POV
Anthony,
I had believed in love ever since I saw Sleeping Beauty for the first time when I was five. Girl movies and those mushy love books consumed my life because as I read or watched them I couldn't help but wish that something like it would happen to me one day. But when my parents got a divorce I began to rethink everything. They had always seemed so happy and in love and then all of a sudden they weren't. It made me feel that love is just a feeling, one that can disappear faster than a blink of the eye and I couldn't help but feel foolish for believing that it existed. However, like you, I've found someone who's made me feel like I was right all along. He's the sweetest boy in the world and I could see myself with him for the rest of my life. He cares about me, listens to me, can always make me smile, give me goose bumps, and make my heart speed up just by walking into the room. It's the greatest feeling in the world.
Iz.
PS, we're very lucky people.
I grinned as I watched Edward and Emmett take their seats in the bleachers, both with a soda and a hot dog in their hands. When they spotted me they waved as they yelled my name and I laughed and waved back, then went back to getting ready.
Soon enough I was on the court against a girl from La Push. I served the ball and she made no attempt to hit it back, giving me a point. Edward and Emmett cheered and I laughed and then put my finger to my lips, telling them to be quiet as I picked up another tennis ball.
I served the ball again and she hit it back this time. We went back and forth a few times and eventually I ended up with another point. Edward jumped up and punched the air as he yelled for me.
"Way to go, Bella!" Emmett yelled and I laughed again.
I watched as Mr. Paumenter, my coach, walked over them and told them that they had to be quiet. They both nodded their heads and he walked away. Emmett flipped him off and Edward laughed. I threw the ball up and served it and the girl hit it back, making it land just outside the foul line but the ref gave her the point.
"What, that's totally Bella's point!" Edward yelled as he jumped up.
My eyes bulged as he yelled to the ref and finally Mr. Paumenter and our other coach told Emmett and Edward that they had to leave because there were several complaints about how loud they were being. They both rolled their eyes and yelled good luck to me as they walked off the bleachers and were out of sight.
"Well," I said as I walked up to Edward's car with Rosalie next to me. "You guys lasted longer than I thought you would."
Edward and Emmett both rolled their eyes. "We were being quiet. Those people are just sensitive." Emmett said.
"Yeah and besides, that was totally your point." Edward said.
I laughed and kissed his cheek as all of us got in the car and headed towards the Applebees that was just up the street. "It's alright, I won anyway."
"That's my girl." Edward said with a smile and kissed my cheek.
When we got into the restaurant I slid in the booth next to Edward and Rosalie and Emmett sat across from us. Emmett brought up Prom again and Rosalie squealed out of excitement.
"Tomorrow is going to be so great." She said as she clapped her hands together.
I rested my head on Edward's shoulder and he grinned down at me as he slid his arm around my waist and rubbed my side gently. "It's going to be fucking awesome." He said and then kissed my forehead.
Emmett raised his glass in the air. "Here's to tomorrow being the best night ever." He said and we all toasted to it.
Excitement filled me as I looked up at Edward's smiling face. I couldn't wait until tomorrow because I knew that it was going to end up being one of the best nights of my life. And I couldn't wait to spend the night dancing with Edward.
