By the end of the day, Edward had become one half of a new bromance. I wasn't jealous per se; Rose had practically glued herself to my ass for the rest of the day.

Edward and I had become butt buddies and not in the way I had imagined.

When we got to the parking lot after the last bell, I had to draw the line.

Emmett was advancing towards Edward's car. "Edward you drove me today," I whine and childishly stomp my foot down.

"Bella, we have to get to practice early for Emmett to speak to Coach. He has a shot here." You advance towards me and uncurl my arms from around my chest to rest them behind your neck.

"You know, you could come to practice and watch." I can't contain the little laugh that lets out. You know there's nothing I hate more than watching sports. Growing up with Charlie and Jake, I was in agony for many years.

"I could also go out caroling with the Glee club."

"It's September."

"Well I hear they're starting early this year."

"Are they?" You chuckle and pull me into your chest. "Well I hear that I look pretty fucking good in my uniform."

"You wear a t-shirt and running shorts," I scoff at you, unwilling to admit it.

"Yes and you've seen my legs." I roll my eyes at you and turn my head to notice Tanya, Irina and Lauren hopping into their car. They look so unhappy with my arms around Edward, I shoot them the finger and smile.

"I'd like to see your legs piggy-backing me home," I look back up at you and pout. I don't know why I took you up on your offer to give me a ride this morning. I knew you had practice, but you promised to get me home before Coach could deem you late. Plus, I had to get my house ready for Rose to come over. I doubt she'd appreciate the string of clothes lying around my room.

"You're coming with me," Rose grins as she walks towards us. Shit. I've done many a speedy clean-up for a late visit from Edward, but he's never been inside while I was doing it.

"We're going shopping Swan."

Edward laughs at my scared expression and I pinch his side. He yelps and I can't help but rub it. I give but I also take back.

On the list of things I cannot stand, shopping is placed right above sports, cars and dealing with bitches like the Denali's and Lauren.

"We have to get you in something better than this," Rose wrinkles her nose at my mustard colored hoodie and tights.

I slide my arms from around Edward to cross my arms back around my chest, "I like to dress comfortably."

"Rose doesn't do comfortable unless it falls between slutty and fashionable," Emmett laughs and Rose reaches a hand up to smack the back of his head. I should try that.

"You look like a comfortable hobo."

"Wow. If I wanted to hang out with Alice, I would've called her." Never while Jasper is away. She's way to riled up as it is.

"No need. She's meeting us there."

"What about this Bella?" I hear Alice call from behind me.

I don't even think about looking back. This is the fifth time Alice or Rose have called me in this store. We've been in two others. Thank God Angela is out with her boyfriend Ben. I could'n't handle a triple threat.

"Bella!"

"Oh what?!" I turn around, burger in hand.

"I don't know how you think you'll be able to get Edward in any outfit like that," Rose frowns at me in distaste.

"I've been trying," Alice motions towards me, "you see what I have to work with. She's unmoving."

"Wait a minute," I say. "What do you mean get Edward?" I ask Rose and then turn to Alice, "and what do you mean you've been trying?"

Alice reaches over and takes my burger out of my hand to place on a nearby table. She comes to sit beside me, "It's obvious how you two feel about each other."

She turns to Rose, "I didn't move here until the third grade and you know Edward and Bella grew up together."

I reach over them to try to snatch back my burger only to be swatted like a fly by Rose. I'm glad she's fitting in so seamlessly.

"Well," Alice continues, "Even at my young age it was clear to me that they were just destined to be together. And when Edward moved away when Esme got her first book deal, Bella was devastated."

"Why did they move back if she got the deal?" Rose inquires.

Alice shrugs, "Edward said she missed Forks and decided to just write from here like she used to."

Esme hasn't put out another book since they moved back to town, but she's working on the most beautifully written series. The way she writes is amazing, but her books are geared towards horny housewives and it's a little too smutty for my liking. I almost gagged when I caught one of her books in Sue's purse a couple weeks ago.

"A talented mother and father?" Rose looks at me and snickers, "You're marrying into an amazing family Bella."

I open my mouth to mock her words and snatch back my burger. Alice frowns at me and I give her the finger.

"You two are delusional." I lie. I can't open up to them just yet. This new development with Edward has me going through loops and twists and turns, and I could do without any interfering. "We're just friends. He's my best friend."

"That you'd love to bang," Rose replies. She gets up and returns with a navy blue top. It's a little see-through because of the lace, but it's the best thing I've seen yet.

"Ooh!" When Alice hops up and dashes to secure a pair of pants, I nearly lose my lettuce. She returns with a matching pair of jeggings. "Bella has an ass to die for. You probably haven't noticed because of that hideous pair of thick tights she's wearing."

I don't even have time to respond, because Rose is yanking me up towards the register.

"You're wearing this tonight."

What the hell is happening tonight?

If you guys didn't notice, I made a little slip up. I have no clue where these chapters are going lol. Emmett is not Edwards brother, but a transfer student.

Thank you for reading! Review if you want.
