Enjoy my lovelies...wow that sounds like the weird librarian down the road.
___________________________________________________________________________

Alice was talking about all her friends. Oh they're Edwards friends too. She was excited to start school again. And go school clothes shopping. She asked me too go with her I said yes. I need new clothes. I might just ditch her or something.

But I need a ride. I'll have to ask Charlie for allowance. So I can buy my own car.

Edward's bugging me, and so was he.

We pulled up to the lake while Alice was talking about some boy. She never said his name. But it was the same boy she always talks about. I could tell.

We got out and Edward unpacked the trunk. Which held all the supplies.

Chairs, extra towels, cooler ext. ext.

Then he went to go set up a spot for all of us.

Alice started to squeal. Again. As a big red jeep pulled up.

A big dude jumped out. Wow, he was like...big. Maybe not fat big but like muscle big big.

A tall blond walked around the front and threw her arm around his waist.

Ah..a couple.

And then a very good looking boy jumped out of the backseat. He had black hair but looked like..the blond? Huh.

Alice introduced me to all of them. I didn't miss when she google-eyed the black haired boy.

Oh, who's name is Jasper. And has a southern accent. Just barely.

The big one is Emmett.

And the blond chick is Rosalie, Jaspers twin.

Thats explains the resemblance.

Edward didn't come back. I mean weren't they his friends too?

After I introduced myself, we all walked towards the sand.

Alice leading us.

Behind them was Emmett and Rosalie.

I also didn't miss the stare-no glare she was giving me while I introduced myself to Jasper.

Me and Jasper were behind.

He didn't look like he belonged with Alice and them. He looked um..paler than the rest. And had a little purple under his eyes. He kinda looked sick. Or just tired. Maybe both. We started small talking.

I found out why he had black hair, and Rosie didn't. He dyed it. Ha. Just like me. I wonder if something bad happened to him.

He was a year older than me. 17. So, he was Edwards age. And so was Rosalie, duh. And Emmett. Alice was the youngest, 15.

I asked him if he had a girlfriend. It just slipped.

"A girlfriend? Nah, no girlfriend. Why you ask?" I knew that was coming. Crap, I need a mouth filter.

He was still looking at me, with a smirk on his face and slightly narrow eyes. I knew he was just playing. That made me feel a little better. A little.

"I- uh uh..was just wondering. You know?"

Oh..my..god.

Could I make myself look stupider.

Yep, I did, I tripped.

But he was faster and he caught me the waist, and held me to his chest.

I was breathing heavy.

Because of the fall and such close proximity.

He let me go.

Alice was calling us. We just looked at each other.

I was blushing I felt it. And so was he.

Just a little. It added some life to his face.

But then it went away as he took my hand.

And I didn't jerk it away surprisingly. We kept walking.

When we got there everyone turned there head and stared at us.

I dropped his hand, and felt my cheeks burning.

Emmett was grinning like a fool.

Rosalie was glaring.

Again.

As well as Alice, and Edward.

Wait Alice. Was glaring at me.

Okay. What did I do?

Jasper was smiling too. I don't know why but he was. Maybe he liked me. God, I hope so.

He's cute.

I got out my towel that was in my bag and laid it out. A little further that the rest. Jasper was looking at me and came and set his towel right by mine. I was a little excited, maybe he did like me. I should boost up my talking skills.

"You don't mind do ya?" He was referring to the towels right next to each other.

"Not at all." I set down on my towel and so did he.

"So, do you like it here at all?" I noticed his voice was slightly drained.

"Yeah I love it. The rain especially."

"Really? Wow thats a first. Well I used to feel the same way. I'm from Texas. Me and Rose." That explains the southern accent. "Now the rain feels like I'm trapped, and the constant covering of the clouds." He sounded depressed, I bet he misses Texas.

"Oh. Well, I like it. Its..its just so much different from Phoenix. I really can't even stand the sun."

I can't. It repulses me, really. Reminds me of everything that happened there.

I just came today to make some new friends. And its not really thatsunny. Theres still clouds.

The temperature was like 69 degrees.

"Hm. Thats interesting. Maybe you could tell me about it some time." Tell him about it sometime. So that kinda means he wants to see me again.

"So, you wanna see me again?" Yes my mouth does not have a filter around him.

"Yeah. Maybe I could get..your number. And I'll give you mine." He was getting out his cell phone. So I got mine out too. I handed him mine, and he handed his to me.

I typed in my number and added it under Bella. He was finished too. So we swapped them back. He smiled at me and I smiled back. I turned to look at the lake. Emmett was swimming with Rosalie. Or trying to get her to swim, but she was arguing. She didn't want to get her hair wet from what I could hear. But he was still just laughing and splashing. Like a little kid.

Alice was sunbathing. I have no idea why the sun isn't even that strong right now. If you know what I mean.

And Edward was sitting the farthest away. By an old tree that fell down probably years ago. He was reading a book but watching me from the corner of his eyes. He noticed me and looked away quickly.

What is with him. Maybe he has bi-polar. Now I feel bad, cause he probably does.

"So you got the hots for Edward Cullen. Huh?" I didn't even realize I was staring at Edward. Crap, now he has he wrong impression.

"Huh, no no I don't. Not at all" Jasper was looking at me funny "Well hes cute, yeah but hes real...mean. So no I don't."

"Yeah he's like that sometime. Don't worry. It's not you personally."

"I beg to differ. I'm surprised he hasn't even hit me yet."

"Why you say that?"

"Well he pretty much treats me like Alice. And I have seen them fight. Its actually kinda scary"

"Ha ha well they do fight like that often. But your sweet I wonder why?" He seemed to be lost in thought so I didn't say anything else. We laid like that for a few minutes before he asked me I wanted to swim.

I haven't swam in awhile. I wasn't really planning on swimming today.

But Jasper asked me.

How could I say no to a pretty face like that.

We got up and he started to take off his shirt. I tried not to stare....but damn. He was well sculpted. I forced myself to look away. And took off my clothes to reveal my swim suit.

Now it was his turn to stare. I smiled and looked up at him. He was still staring. Now I was starting to feel self-conscious.

I cleared my throat. "Um are we gonna swim or what?" I said nervously.

"Oh! Yeah, yeah...uh s-sorry. I didn't realize I was staring." He looked down sheepishly.

"Its fine. Lets go." We walked down to the boardwalk. And he jumped in. I dipped in my toes in to test the temperature. It was freezing. Jasper resurfaced. "Whats wrong...too cold? He said splashing me. Even colder!

He started snickering and climbed out in front of me. "Its just water Bella."

"Yeah its freezing. No thank you I'm going back over there."

I tried to get past him but Emmett just came out of nowhere.

They were blocking me from getting by.

Oh, no. I know what there trying to do.

"Heheh....yeah I'm just gonna go. S'cuse me." I said awkwardly.

Trying to get by. Jasper grabbed me by the waist and started to pulled me over his shoulder. He was going to throw me in. But Emmett pushed Jasper in. While holding me.

The water was even colder in. Jasper was still holding me around the waist while we both resurfaced. Gasping for air.

"Jesus, Em what the hell?!" He yelled. Hm..when he yells you can hear the southern accent more.

Emmett was laughing so hard he was crying. Rosalie was laughing too. But more at me I think. Alice came too see what was going on and smiled. Kinda, it looked more like a grimace. I wonder what her problem is. Edward was laughing like Emmett. He actually looked happy. I like him a hella lot more happpy.

While me and Jasper were staring to swim to the shore. I could still here them laughing. Jasper seemed mad. I was just embarrassed. I grabbed my towel and wrapped up in it. Jasper just laid there on his.

"You okay? They were just playing." I was just trying soothe him down a bit. They were just playing.

"Yeah, I know but still. Em's always does shit like that." Yeah he does seem like that. But hes just so...so cute. Like baby cute. I wasn't gonna say that out loud. He probably didn't want to hear it. So I didn't push it.

I looked around. Edward and Emmett were talking on the boardwalk. I looked around for Alice, I looked around even for Rosalie. I looked towards the cars and their they were. They were talking to each other sitting on the Volvo. Ooh if Edward saw that he'd be mad.

I told Jasper I'd be right back. He said okay we were probably gonna leave soon anyways.

I got up and started to walk towards Rosalie and Alice. There backs were turned to me so I knew they couldn't see me. As I got close I could hear them talking.

"- I know she thinks she can just walk up in here and take MY man! What's up with that? It's very clear he's MINE!" Alice was whispering harshly. Then Rosalie started to talk in a louder tone.

"Okay technically he's not your man," Alice snorted "You know what I mean. Not yet anyways. But you have to get rid of her. Well, not like that, but you know."

Alice snorted again, " I'd like to get rid of her like that."

Who are they talking about?

I stayed behind cause I figured they'd say who they were talking about.

I was curious I didn't know Alice had a boyfriend. Better yet, someone trying to steal her boyfriend.

Then Rosalie said, "Then its set. We have to make Bella Swan's life horrible. No one's going to mess with my brother and best friend find their love for each other. Not. Gonna. Happen."

"Aww, Rosie you're so good to me! " She squealed and hugged her. I turned and walked away quickly back to my stuff. Jasper fell asleep.

I got my cell out of my purse and called my dad.

He answered mid ring. "Hello?" Good he's home.

I grabbed my bag and threw my stuff in. While still in a towel I walked off down the road and made sure no one could see me.

"Hey, dad. Can you come pick me up?"
