Disclaimer: I unfortunately do not own Twilight or any characters from. But I'm in total control of what happens in this story and a certain bronze-haired character . Yum.
Bella's POV:
I woke up to the familiar streak of green light pouring through the window. I hated to admit it but my dreams had been filled with a certain bronze-haired, green-eyed skater.
How did I go to hating his guts to swooning at the very thought of him? But now I couldn't wait to get to school. And that was because I couldn't wait to see him.
In sacrifice, false pretense, you'll learn again, stop pretending to deny-
"Hello?" I answered my phone.
"Hey, Bella." Alice's voice rang through the phone. I laughed in my head, thinking about how unlike me this was. Usually, I'd never be on the phone with someone I just met.
"Hi, Alice. What do I owe the pleasure of this wonderful phone call?"
Just then I heard a knock downstairs.
"Hold on, Alice."
I went down the stairs as fast as I could without tripping. Safely on the flat ground of the living room, I ran to the door.
I opened the door to reveal….Rose and Alice.
"Uhmm, what are you two doing here?" I asked.
"To help you get dressed, of course." Rosalie answered smoothly, letting Alice enter into the house before her.
Rosalie looked completely at ease, as if it was a normal everyday thing for her to ride to my house with someone she hardly knew, just to play barbie with.
"Why do I need help getting dressed?" I asked in a suspicious tone.
"Because…we just felt like it." Rose never hesitates. I suddenly got very suspicious. I narrowed my eyes at them.
"What's the real reason?" I asked deliberately. Rose visibly swallowed.
Alice cleared her throat and smiled innocently. Then she rolled her eyes in a dramatic fashion.
"We're dressing you up so that Edward faints at the very sight of you." She said, her tone dripping in sarcasm. I couldn't help but blush madly as she mentioned Edward's name.
Her answer though did knock me off the subject of what they were really doing here. They dragged me to the stairs but Rose stopped us as soon as we got there.
She grinned evilly at me. "You still need help going up those stairs, Bella." I gaped at her.
"What? How do you expect to get me up there? You can't carry me like Jasper can."
Suddenly Alice coughed when I said Jasper's name. I looked to her and new suspicions returned. What did Alice think of Jasper? I already knew that Jasper was wrapped tightly around her little finger.
"So, Alice-"
"Crawl up the stairs if you have to, Bella!" She yelled as she sprinted to the top of the stairs.
Her ignoring my questions wouldn't die down my suspicions but for right now I'd drop it.
Rose suddenly put her hand on my shoulder and pushed down a bit.
"You heard her, Bella. Crawl up the stairs. Cause your right, I can't carry you." Clearly, she wanted to start off her day with some god old Bella-embarrassment. Her favorite thing to do in life.
My jaw fell open. "What?"
"Do it, Bella."

Finally, Alice had finished dressing me.
I was very happy with Alice for what she gave me to wear. In fact, I was ecstatic.
I was wearing a comfy pair of black cargo pants, along with a blue, v-neck long sleeve shirt with a white cami under.
She also picked a pair of my favorite converse, and she gave me my gray hat to wear to shelter me from the rain.
Over-all, I was extremely comfy, and it was a look I would wear. Not too mention I could actually pull it off. I was suspicious, however. Alice dressed like a runway model, and yet she was putting me in clothes that were hardly fashionable. She had to have some kind of ulterior motive.
"Wow, Thanks Alice!" I pulled the little pixie into a tight hug.
"Your welcome, Bella. Never doubt my fashion sense!" She then walked away.
Ready, Set, Go. It's Time to run. The sky is changing, we are one. Together we can make it while the world is crashing down-
I noticed Alice's phone ringing but she was in the bathroom.
"Alice. Your phone's ringing."
"It's Edward's ring tone, answer it."
Uh-oh.
"Hello?" I tentatively answered.
"Bella? Where's Alice?" My breath hitched as I heard his velvety voice.
"Potty." I answered.
"TMI, Bella." He laughed. "Anyways, she ran out of the house this morning and told me something about giving her a ride. Can you ask her if she still needs that?"
"Sure." I answered before banging on the bathroom door.
"Alice, do you still need a ride from Edward?" I asked.
"Tell him yes." Her voice answered through the door.
After telling Edward what she said, I hung up and Alice came out of the bathroom. She skipped back to the room where Rose was waiting.
After waiting about ten minutes I heard gravel crunching outside meaning Edward was here.
We walked down the stairs, well I crawled while they walked. I am so getting payback later. I opened the door to see a silver Volvo and I could make out Edward's frame in the driver's seat.
"Hey, Alice, why don't you ride with me while I go back to my house to get Jasper. Bella, you can ride with Edward." Rosalie said, suddenly throwing Alice a sly look.
My mouth fell open and just as I was about to disagree, Alice squealed her agreement. Before I had a chance to yell at them, they were seated in Rose's car and speeding off.
"Alice!" I heard Edward's voice yell, but they were already gone.
I blinked then scoffed. Great friends they are.
"Guess I'm walking to school." I muttered and began to walk down my driveway. Edward had apparently heard me.
"Don't be ridiculous, Bella. Remember we have a truce. I'll give you a ride to school." He smiled his beautiful crooked smile and I couldn't refuse.
"Thanks." As I reached the passenger door, he opened it for me. He smiled again.
"I like what your wearing today." He suddenly commented. I blushed furiously.
"I do, too." I answered.
He looked at me curiously as he slid into the driver's seat.
"You make it sound like that's not a normal thing." He observed.
"Well, Alice wanted to pick out my outfit and I was really surprised that she chose this." I explained.
An incredulous look came across his face.
"Alice picked that?" He asked, stunned.
I nodded. Suddenly, he began to laugh. He muttered something that sounded something like, "Stupid little evil genius pixie."
"So why don't you tell me about yourself, Bella. We really didn't get to talk yesterday." He said after he composed himself.
"Uhm, what do you want to know?"
"Anything. How long have you lived here and such?" He glanced at me, and for a second, it actually looked like he was very eager to hear my answer.
"Uhm. Well I moved here three years ago. I used to live in Phoenix with my mom but I decided to come live with Charlie for a while. I met Rosalie at a summer camp my first summer here then I met Jasper."
At the mention of Jasper's name I saw Edward's hands tighten on the steering wheel.
What's up with that?
"So," He started speaking trying to sound nonchalant but I could hear the strain in his voice. "How long have you and Jasper been together?"
"What?" I exclaimed.
I glanced at his face to see he was seriously taken back by my outburst.
"Never mind. You don't have to tell me." He said quickly.
"You think Jasper and I are together, Like together together?" I asked, incredulous and slightly creeped out.
He nodded his head slowly. I made a face.
"Edward, excuse me while I go throw up. I'm not with Jasper. What would give you that idea?"
Then Edward blushed as he looked away in obvious embarrassment.
"Just, kind of, assumed." He said in a low voice.
I smiled. He was just too cute when he was embarrassed.
Did I just call him cute?
After our clear up, I suddenly got a thought in my head. Why should Edward care if I'm with anyone or not? Why did he seem a bit mad?
We had gotten on a lighter conversation of getting to know each other as we pulled into the school parking lot. As I began to turn to open the door, Edward jumped out of the car and sprinted around the hood to open my door.
"Thanks." I smiled at him. He grinned in response. As I wrapped the strap to my bag around my shoulder I noticed Edward didn't have anything.
"Edward, did you plan not to bring anything to school today?" I asked.
He looked at me confused before realization donned on him.
"It's in the trunk." He said matter-of-factly.
"And why exactly is it in the trunk?" I asked as he walked to back of the car and opened the trunk.
"I was hiding it from Alice. She loves to steal it and switch our things so I end up with pink binders at school." He reached in to retrieve his bag when I heard a the ring-tone Alice had for Edward inside the car.
I saw his phone in the cup holder and opened the door and grabbed it. I brief glance and I saw it was a text.
"Edward, you've got a message."
"Would you mind reading it for me? My stuff's kind of spilled everywhere."
I slid his phone open to read it out to him.
"It says 'MSD. Three months flat'."
Suddenly I heard a smack and a low string of cuss words from Edward's direction. I looked in his direction to see Edward rubbing the back of his head.
"Right. Let's go." He closed the trunk and we began walking to first period. I looked around to see Jasper and Alice talking. Suddenly Alice looked at us and she ran over, dragging Jasper behind her.
"Thank you for the ride this morning, Edward. It's nice to know some people are generous enough to think about me." I said as soon as Alice could hear us.
He chuckled while Alice rolled her eyes. Then Edward's face became emotionless as he began to get pulled into his thoughts.
"Edward!" Alice snapped, quickly snapping him out of it.
"What's wrong?" I could tell she really knew her brother cause she gave him a look saying she knew something was up.
Edward sighed then looked away. "MSD." He said in a low voice.
I watched Alice's face turn sincere. "Oh."
I'll explain what MSD is later. The ring tones are:
Bella's: False Pretense By: Red Jumpsuit Apparatus (couldn't resist mentioning my favorite band)
Alice's and Edward's: Ready, Set, Go By: Tokio Hotel (I'll explain later but this is kind of Edward's theme song in this story)
