"Mom can I pleeeeeeease have a party? Pretty, pretty please with sugar and marshmallows, and whatever else you want on top." I put on my most angelic face possible.

"What would you be celebrating?" I thought very hard. Then the perfect idea popped into my head.

"Edwards first day of school, of course. I mean it was like the best first day anyone could have. Except for the fact that he didn't know anyone. So I could like, through a party, and introduce him to tons of new people." I was very proud of myself.

"This Sunday, your grandparents are coming. So your father and I will have a nice dinner and night out on Saturday, and you may have the party that night. But the house must be spotless for your grandparent's arrival. Got it missy?"

"Yes I love you soooo soooo much." I gave her a kiss on the cheek, and ran up the stairs. Time to get to business! We would need food, drinks- not alcoholic, party favors, and… Jasper is so handsome. I hope he comes.

Gah, I had started to daydream. Why does that always happen when I'm doing something important? I suddenly remembered that I hadn't seen Edward since I got back. He could help me get stuff for the party. When I looked into his room- that I decorated- I noticed that his backpack wasn't there.

"Mom, where's Edward?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you- he saw a flyer for football tryouts, he used to be really good. I told him to go try out."

"Why would you do that? I mean it's only his first day, no one fits in on the first day."

"Well I thought it would be good for him to have an actual connection to this place. Football would give him a reason not to want to leave. Now go plan that party, before I say no to it for pestering me."

Her talking about connections reminded me about the way he had looked at Bella this morning. Hey I could get Bella to come help me plan the party." I started to walk away, talking to myself. Once I got to my room I pulled out my cell phone. Speed dial #1. She picked up on the first ring.

"Hey Alice."

"My mom said I could have a party and I need someone to help me plan it."

"Can't Edward do it; I mean he does live with you."

"He's at football tryouts right now. So get your butt over here."

"Fine, see you in a couple minutes." She hung up and I ran to make sure the front door was unlocked. And then went back to my room to continue planning and daydreaming.

"So what do I have to do? Shop or just talk to you?"

"Both, we can do them at the same time."

"So what did you tell your mom this party was for anyway? She usually says no when you ask her."

"I said it was so Edward could meet more people. Can you make a list of people?" She got out a piece of paper. I could tell she wanted to ask me something, probably about Edward.

"Do you think we should invite Jessica?" I laughed at the look on her face. Jessica had tormented Bella since she moved here.

"Of course, we have to invite everyone to make sure my mom still thinks it's only about Edward."

"So if it's not only about Edward, who is it about?"

"Okay, you know the Edward guy in college—"

"Is he coming?"

"He kind of doesn't exist."

"What!! Who do you keep on daydreaming about then?" How did she know I was daydreaming about Jasper?

"A guy named Jasper Hale. I have cafeteria duty with his sister and she said she would bring him if I got them invitations soon. And how do you know I have been daydreaming about him?"

"Every once in a while you will totally space and won't answer any questions. It is kind of funny." This whole time we had been making lists, and mine was full of stuff we didn't have. Time to go to the store.
