It seemed that for the past week I had been floating on air. I was always smiling and talked to Edward every night-- he called me right before I went to sleep so his voice was always in my dreams. It was Thursday already; the week was flying by so fast. Setting my books down on my bed, I went back downstairs to get something to eat. The moment I stepped into the kitchen, the phone rang, its shrill sound startling me from my thoughts that had floated freely in the previously silent house.

"Hello, Swan residence."

"Hey, Bella?"

"Edward!"

"Yeah, well I just wanted to say hi to you and warn you of an Alice attack, and beware, she's using guilt warfare!"

"What?" I asked, confused.

" 'Edward, do you have the phone? If so, hand it over!'" Alice yelled. "Got to go, talk to you later tonight, bye." he said quickly, hanging up with a gust of breath before I had a chance to say anything.

The line beeped a dial tone, I clicked the end key. It burst into sound again a second later.

"Edward?"

"Wrong," the bell like voice of my best friend came through.

"Hey Alice, what's up?"

"Wellll... and I know you have nothing else to do and Charlie won't object to it, so you come to my house tomorrow night willingly or I kidnap you."

"Wow, that wasn't direct at all."

"Not giving you time to get out of it."

"Why would I try to get out of it?"

"Because Edward wanted to do something with you tomorrow..."

I felt using her 'Alice glare' against her. (it is no longer an Edward glare)

"Come on Bella," she whined in an Alice like way. "You haven't been spending much time with us lately, please."

"I see you every day in class!"

"Please please please? All you do is spend time with Edward now, what happened to 'he is just a guy'? What has the world come to? What happened to sisterly love? Angela is coming!"

"I don't know Alice..." I started, just to mess with her. I had already made my decision.

"Since I cancelled his plans, Edward will be there! Please Bella? I won't give you any more than three make overs, and I won't force you into heels..."

"Alice, of course I'll come. You are my best friend, and Edward lost his chance, you asked first."

I could feel her smile through the phone. I just rolled my eyes. But, Alice will be Alice. (I know she's OOC, get over it)

I was already in my seat ready to start class when Edward walked into the chemistry room. His kissed my cheek before sitting down next to me.

"How was your day?" I asked him right as he opened his mouth, probably to ask the same thing.

"Fine, boring, tolerable. Yours?"

"Eh... same. Better now."

He grinned at me. After getting out his notes and the homework from the night before, he grabbed my hand under the table. This was becoming routine for us, but I didn't think I would ever get used to it. My heart fluttered like a humming bird whenever he touched me, even accidently, and when he kissed me it leapt forward, trying to escape my chest so it could run wild, dancing in twirling and erraric circles.

Like usual, I glared when the teacher started class, stopping our conversation. Everyday, usually from conversations before class started, I learned more and more about him. Today, I managed to tease him into telling his sort of family history. Esme and Carlisle (not to mention his twin...) were all shorter than him. He was so tall compared to them because Esme's brothers were on like growth hormonesor something and were about six foot seven. Guess that explains the freakish tallness (though really it was only a little above average.)

I only half paid attention in class and read for most of it; we weren't doing anything important.

When the bell rang, I wasn't ready to go. Edward politely waited for me though, and walked me to my truck. Alice was at the door of the rust bucket.

"You are not driving this gas waster this weekend. I already put your stuff from the back of the truck in the car. Now hand me the keys and go get in the back seat like a good girl."

She hated my truck, but I rather liked it, especially the outcomes it produced when it broke down...

I sighed but went to the car anyway. Angela was in the passenger seat, so I climbed into the back seat, Edward squeezing in behind me.

"Don't look so grumpy, Bella, she's forbidding me my car use too," Angela laughed. I think she was just trying to block our escape routes.

But as much as I complained in my head, Alice was a great friend and I was eager to spend the weekend with her, and of course, it was brightened by the fact that both the Cullen children would be involved in my weekend...
