"Hey, Bella," Edward walked up to me in the hallway at school the next morning.

"Shh," I said to him, watching intently as Angela flirted unintentionally with her 'just-a-friend' crush. We all knew she liked him, but she seemed to think that he could never possibly like her back. We had been pushing with her to go out with him, but she didn't want to wreck their friendship. They were each waiting for the other to make the first move and getting no where.

I respected Angela's feelings too much to do anything for her though, in case it backfired.

"Did you walk all the way back here just to talk to me?" I heard Ben say to her.

"I was bored."

Angela shifted her books to her other arm so she could twirl her hair, a habit of hers. She caught sight of me and glared at Edward, who was right behind me. Ben noticed that she was distracted and followed her gaze. He looked confused.

"Something wrong?" he asked her.

Angela continued glaring for a moment before turning back to Ben.

"Bella," she spat my name, "starting going out with Edward and didn't tell me. I had to hear from Alice about her walking in on you two! Why were you over there anyway? I want the full story missy!"

"Tell you at lunch, Ang. I'm sorry." Angela had slipped my mind over the weekend. I hadn't called her like a good friend should and now I felt horrible.

She sighed. "See you in English then."

Ben walked with her down the hallway; she usually walked to his class first, then looped back to our first class.

Today, Edward walked me right to the door of my class. Handing me the pencil he had somehow grabbed from my books, he lightly brushed his hand across my cheek. The warning bell rang, by the time I had recovered from what his touch did to me, he was already turning the corner.

We had extra time in English, so I had to spill early.

"What were you doing at Alice's house Friday night?!" Angela hissed at me as she slid into the desk behind mine.

"Uh, my car broke. And he offered me a ride home... and, then somehow we ended up kissing. And Alice walked in, and well, you know how she hates being taken by surprise. Wait, does she know that you knew I liked him?"

Angela visablly paled.

"I'll take that as a no..." I took a deep breath. "Angela, I feel like I've been doing too much aplogizing lately and I feel awful, I'm really sorry that I didn't tell you. This was big news and you should have been informed."

"You had to deal with Charlie during the weekend on top of Alice's wrath didn't you?" she guessed. She was always perceptive like that.

"Yeah,"

We laughed together, friends and not enemies again.

"So, you and Edward, huh? Never thought that would happen did you?"

"Never."
