"Why not?" whined Tanya.

"Because," Edward said into the phone that was tucked between his ear and shoulder, "The rash could be contagious."

"It isn't." his girlfriend sounded on the verge of tears. "You just don't want me to come do you?"

"Of course I want you to come." he lied. "Its just a sort of friend thing. I don't come with you when you hang out with your friends, do I?"

Like she even has friends.

"Whatever." and she hung up.

Edward grinned and hung the phone up.

Reeeesult!

"Eddie, red or blue?" Alice danced down the stairs and held up two dresses.

"Neither. Jazz told me he liked the black one on you."

"He did? Really? What were his words exactly? Are you sure he was talking about me?"

Edward ignored his younger sister. "You seem better." he accused her.

Alice blushed and gave a fake cough. "Its...its amazing what a day home can do for you?"

"Hmmm, funny coincidence, Jasper wasn't at school today either. Weird, huh?"

"Very strange." muttered Alice, staring at her feet.

Edward smirked. "Go get dressed. We're leaving in 5."

The phone rang again.

"Tanya?"

"Sorry to disappoint." Bella's voice was light but obvious jealousy rang.

"Thank God its you. I swear to God, if Tanya calls once more to complain about that stupid rash..." Edward trailed off.

"Eddiekins! It itches! Buy me some insanely overpriced moisturiser and lather it on me!" Bella did a perfect imitation of Tanya's whiny tone.

Edward grinned to himself. "Oh Edward! Its all like...red! Don't I just have the best adjectives?"

Both of them broke down into helpless laughter.

Bella was the first to recover. "God, I miss this."

"Same. I forgot how natural it feels to talk to you. It was just like this when we were younger and best friends."

"No complicated relationship stuff."

Edward nodded and then realised she couldn't see. "Yeah. Can't we go back to that?"

Wait. Does he mean the best friends thing or the complicated relationship stuff?

"Sure. I'll start on the friendship bracelets now." he said in a unnaturally gay voice.

"Green for me!" Bella sang. "Oh my gosh! I totally forgot why I was calling..."

To proclaim your everlasting love for him?

"Butterlovers or plain popcorn?"

Nice save.

"Doesn't matter. You choose. I'd better go. If Alice spends to much time with the curling iron she starts talking to it."

"See you soon." Bella resisted the urge to say 'YOU HANG UP FIRST!'. Instead, they both hung up feeling equally pissed at the new turn their relationship had taken.

HEY! Have you guys forgotten the friendship bracelets?

"I thought you were joking!"

"Do I look like I'm joking?" asked Rosalie, pointing to her amused looking face. "Shows how much attention you pay to me. You don't even know what a die-hard high school musical fan I am!"

Emmett made a mental note to buy her roses on the way home.

Bella rolled her eyes. She knew for a fact that Rosalie despised all Disney movies and had only bought HSM along to piss off the guys.

"This is so stupid." complained Edward, throwing popcorn at the screen a few minutes later.

"Dude," Bella kicked him. "Its the opening credits."

"Its still stupid."

"Opening credits can't be stupid"

"They can when Zac Efron is in them."

"Shhhh!" hissed Rose and Emmett.

"I happen to think Zac is gorgeous." whispered Bella.

"He is so not your type."

Bella remembered what Angela had said the previous evening about her type being players and willed herself not to quote her. "So what is my type, Edward?"

"Me." Edward wanted to say. But he didn't. He just stared straight ahead at the screen.

Bella smirked. "I thought so."

About halfway through the movie, there was a knock at the door.

Rose got up to answer it and everyone else followed.

"Hiiiii! I bought popcorn!" Tanya sang.

Edward froze and Bella groaned.

"Get lost Tanya!"

Tanya smiled sweetly. "No way, Bella, honey. Remember that little talk we had in English?"

Everyone turned to look curiously at the two girls.

"Well what else would you have had it in? Spanish?" Emmett joked weakly.

Tanya looked confused. "But I didn't have Spanish today. I have it on Thursdays."

Everyone groaned.

"Whatever. So what are we watching?" Tanya strode into the living room. "High school musical? Yay! I love Disney movies!"

Bella turned to Edward. "Can I talk to you alone for a minute?"

Edward glanced at his girlfriend who was too wrapped up in singing (badly) Getcha head in the game, to notice anything much right at that moment. "Happy to."

She led him down the hallway and into the bathroom.

"Ok, you must have your reasons for staying with the slut but whatever. We both obviously don't want her here right now. Correct?"

Edward hesitated before nodding.

"Then lets get rid of her."

A grin that Edward knew all too well plastered Bella's face. It was the grin she wore when she was thinking evil, evil thoughts.

Edward couldn't help smiling back. "What do you have in mind?"
