'Ello people! Onto a new chapter, perhaps? Okay…hmm…so I thought about it, and I made some decisions about the questions I asked last time. Soooo…READ. Hehe. ;) k.

I have a dance performance tomorrow, so WISH ME LUCK! Alright. Here goes…

Oh yeah. I keep forgetting.

I don't own Twilight. Or any other part of this series. Stephenie Meyer does. And she's freaking lucky. ;) heeere goes. :)

Well, Edward's super nice. I like him a lot. As a friend obviously. I thought. I inwardly slapped myself for having to even add that last part. OF COURSE I only liked him as a friend. I'd known him for One. Freaking. Day.

As I reached for the door, someone came up behind me and wrapped their arms around me. I let out a little gasp and heard a chuckle behind me. A very un-Edward chuckle. Amazing. I've only just met him, and I already know how his chuckles sound? Pathetic, Bella. Pathetic. Back to the main reason I had gasped. I had heard that chuckle before. All through the summer after I moved to Forks. My crutch. My Jacob.

I turned around and wrapped my arms around my best friend. My voice muffled by his chest, I said "Hi Jacob. I'm glad you're here"

"Hey Bells. Having fun without me?"

I pulled away and swiped at his chest.

"Oh, shut up Jacob. You know I love you." His face lighted up at my words, so I quickly added, "In a completely friend way, Jake."

I could barely see the change in his face, but it was there. Whenever I made this kind of comment, he was hurt. Truthfully, painfully hurt. And I hated myself for it, but I couldn't do anything about it.

"Alright Bella. Now, you wanna go over to the rez and hang out or go over to your house and do nothing?"

"I can't Jacob. I have to do something."

"Meaning?"

"Jake, just things. Important things."

"But…"

"GIRLY things, Jake."

"Oh. Okay. So I'll see you at your house later."

"Jake, no. Not today."

"Bells, why not?"

"Jake." I said in a warning tone.

"Bella." He said in the same way.

"Jacob, you can't." I said in a serious tone.

This time, knowing that I was serious, Jake backed off.

"Alright, Bells. So I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Yeah. Tomorrow's great." I told him with a smile. I gave him one last hug and then he got on his motorcycle and rode away.

I was fuming. And Alice knew it. Yet, she jumped on me the minute she saw me and wouldn't let go for a few seconds. Finally, I shook her off and, wrapping her arms around my neck, asked what was wrong.

"Nothing." I told her, still looking at Bella. She was still hugging that guy, talking into his chest. They were so intimate. I hated him.

Alice followed my gaze and when her eyes rested on Bella, she squinted. Not in a "what is that" kind of way, but a "that boy is dead" kind of way.

"Alice." I told her in a warning tone. I hated him, too. But I knew what Alice was probably thinking of. He should probably watch out for his car. And house. 'Cause they were probably both about to get a good beating.

Still watching Bella, I noticed with happiness that she seemed annoyed. After a few more words were exchanged between mystery boy and Bella, he got on his motorcycle and rode away.

"Edward, you have to do something. You have to walk up to her and talk her up. You have to do something about this. You can't let this go unnoticed. This has to be your most flirtatious, interesting conversation in mind. If it isn't, I'm sorry to say it, but you just might lose Bella. No pressure."

"Wow. Thanks Alice. That makes me feel so much better." But I still took her advice.

Walking over to Bella, I prepared myself for what I was about to say. Nothing stupid, nothing uninteresting. But I can't talk about anything that she may not know about. I odn't want her to feel stupid, or to think that I'm gloating or something. So I have to be dumber, but not stupid. I have to be interesting, but not to my standards. Wow. That shouldn't be too hard.

I reached her and I called her name.

"Bella!" I said. I cringed and tried again. "Hey Bella. What's up?" I asked her in a much quieter voice.

"Hey Edward! Nothing much." She said to me, all traces of annoyance erased from her face.

"So. Bella. Tomorrow's Friday…" I started trailing off.

"Oh. Right! So, Edward, what time do you want to meet? Right after school, or more six-ish?" she asked me, seeming distracted.

"Um. I guess six is fine."

"Alright," she said, getting into her car.

"Bye Bella," I said a second too late.

Alice jumped up behind me.

"So, Edward. How'd it go?"

"We're meeting her tomorrow at six?" I asked her, sure she was about to kick me or something.

"Well. That's…interesting." With that, she kicked my shin(I knew it) and walked away.

"That's so mature, Ali." I called after her.

"You're one to talk," she shot back at me.

Well, I guess I deserved that.

Well, that was TERRIBLE. Sorry you guys. I'm just having like, writer's block or something. Just don't ditch me pleeease.

I'll try and update, but I doubt it'll happen tomorrow 'cause I have classes till 4:30 then my best friend's birthday party. So…yeah. But, I will try my hardest. :) be kind you guys. ;) I know you will. Love you!
