A/N: thanks to everyone that has me on author alert. I love you all! Oh, and if you like the dream in last chapter, thanks. Sorry, for those that read all my stories, I tend to do dreams a lot in my story. Sorry again. Uh, here it is.

The rest of the summer progressed slowly and quickly at the same time. We were already three weeks into school now and the time kept speeding up and slamming to a halt at random times.

Alice and I talked as we walked to the cafeteria and stood in line. Angela waved us over when she saw us and we took our trays to her seat.

"So, are we still studying together tonight?"

"Yep, my house right?" Alice said. This morning we had rode together to school so we could go to her house that afternoon. And since Angela (purposely) called shot gun, guess where I got to sit? In the back seat. With Edward. Edward kept complaining about not being able to drive, but Alice wouldn't listen. Everytime he mentioned something, she turned the country music up louder. Edward hated country music. I couldn't help but laugh. Angela had her hand over her mouth to stiffle a giggle.

He glared at me. "What are you laughing at?" I grinned.

"You." He rolled his eyes but his bright green eyes shone with playfullness.

"So Bella, Angela, you think this is funny?"

We nodded.

"Well, I'll just have to make sure I drive extra fast next time you're in the car."

Alice glanced in the rear view mirror and narrowed her eyes.

"What makes you so sure your driving?"

"It's my car too you know."

"Yes, but if I tell mom about your driving skills, it won't be." He pouted.

"Well can I at least sit up front next time, I'm taller than all of you."

"NO! You'll mess with the radio!"

"And if you don't quit threatening my friends, you'll be riding to school on the bus."

He shook his head but decided against arguing any further. He leaned his head back and sighed.

He groaned after a few minutes of silence in the car. We all turned to look at him.

"We have chem homework!" (I can see human Edward doing this. It's really cute... awww. Jill, I know this is ooc, shut up.)

We all laughed.

"You can study with us if you want." Angela told him. I glared at her. Alice shot her a glance as well.

"What! I'm trying to be nice. Eddie here isn't always but that doesn't mean we can't be. (wth, NEW SONG! I'VE NEVER HEARD THIS. WHERE DID THIS COME FROM! sorry, I have the tv on a music channel, to drown out the awful music the construction workers are playing. I'm not sure if I like it... Jill and Steph, what do you think of Montgomery Gentry's new song? I guess it's ok.) Shouldn't we be civil? We are senior now. It's time to grown up... Be mature adults. And so I am inviting your brother to study with us."

"Wow, Angela, I thought you hated me."

"I do." He scrunched his eyebrows.

"Whatever. I'll never understand girls."

"So you gunna study with us or not? Gosh, you try to be nice..."

"Fine. I'll do it. Mostly because I have nothing better to do."

The rest of the ride we all chatted about our classes, trying to include Edward. But of course, Edward had to pick on Angela.

"So, how are things going with Ben..."

"Shut up. You know I haven't asked him out yet."

"Yes, but you asked him to dance last year at prom." Edward mumbled.

"Alice! You told him!"

"He was in the room when I told my mom..." Angela groaned.

"Ang, your a senior now, you said it yourself. (May I just say OMG! Even if you don't like country, you must admit that JESSICA SIMPSON DOES NOT BELONG. Argh, her song gets on my nerves) Be brave." I told her, she smiled.

"You've like him for two years but haven't really done anything about it. Maybe you should..." Alice told her.

"She's right, Angela." I said. She motioned for me to come closer so she could whisper something in my ear.

"I'll do something about it when you do."

"Fine. Dropping subject." I said.

"Hey, what's with the secrets?"

"Girl stuff." Edward frowned.

"Then why don't I know!" Alice demanded, mad.

"I really don't want to say this in front of your brother, but I was just telling her about the number, and that phone, and that answering machine...."

"Oh." She had gotten Ben's number and had tried to call him over the summer. Of course I already knew this, but she needed a cover story. I wasn't ready to tell her about my thing for Edward. Edward who I was sitting right next to.

We got to the Cullen house and spread our books out on the floor.

We did have a lot of work. I usually tried to stay caught up, but we had all gotten behind, thus this studying session.

"Great, so how did you get the answer to number seven. I think I missed a step or something." Alice atmepted to explain but I wasn't getting it. I looked back over my work. And then redid the problem. Edward leaned over and sat closer to me. My breath caught for a second. He took my pencil from my hand, and pointed out where I was messing up. He explained it and everything clicked.

"Thanks, Edward."

He gave me a crooked grin. "No problem."

"Okay, I get how you did it, but could you explain why you did it like that instead of like this?"

I explained it the way it had clicked in my brain to Angela, in a different way.

"Ohhh. Thanks! These study groups really help. We should do this more often."

"So, we got math down, wanna help me with Chemestry?" We switched subjects, quizing each other.

When we decided our brains hurt too much to study anymore, we began packing all out stuff. Alice was going to drop us off at our houses. I reached to grab my notebook and my hand brushed against Edward's who was reaching for his book. An electric tingle shot through me. I pulled my hand back, blushing.

Yes, I seriously like Edward. And if I didn't stop blushing around him, Alice was going to notice.

not the best from me, but I liked the fluff.
