I walked inside my front door laughing. Well not really walking since I had the crutches but you know what I mean. Watching Edward in my review mirror the whole time while in the car was quite a sight. He never rode my bumper like last time. He stayed the appropriate distance away from me, but it was hilarious because I could tell he was getting adgitated. He wasn't trying to show it I could tell, but he would be tapping his his fingers on the wheel the whole time and when I slowed down, going to a stop sign, he would run his hand trough his gorgoeous hair. Hey, I'm not going to lie, I may not like him but I have eyes and they don't mind looking at him sometimes.

I decided to call Alice once I was all settled, to ask if she wanted to have a 'slumber party' as she likes to call them.

I dialed her number and just like she always does she picks up on the first ring.

"Hey Bella!" she said excitedly. It had been around two weeks since I had last talked to her so it was nice hearing my best friends voice again.

"Hey Alice. I was wondering if you want to have a sleep over tonight. You know just have a girls night?" I asked.

"Well," she said, "I'll come to a slumber party, but I don't know about sleep over."

I laughed and said, "Call it whatever you want but you better be over in the next hour or you will have to deal with me." Trying to be intimidating dosen't work with me I guess because she just started to laugh... and she wouldn't stop.

"Okay Alice, let's calm down," I said.

"Alright, I'll be over in a little bit. See you later." I told her bye and hung up the phone.

I started to get ready before she came. It was a struggle to get up the stairs with my crutches, but I managed. It just took three time longer than it normaly did. I took a quick shower and decided to go to a Red Box and pick up a couple of movies for tonight. I decided to get the movie Up which is a comedy that both of us wanted to see in theaters but never got the chance to. And Soul Surfer. Which is another one we both wanted to see. Deciding that was good enough I headed home. I laughed when I already saw her bright yellow car sitting in my driveway. I'm not to worried though since I know she had a key to the house and was able to let herself in.

"I'm home!" I yelled dramatically as I use my crutches to carry myself inside the house. Alice runs around the corner full speed, but then stops dead in her tracks once she sees me.

"What happened to you?" she asked.

I sigh, "It's a long story." We go into my living room and sit on the couch and I have told her every thing that has happened in the past couple of days. The coach seeing me play soccer. Which she got really excited about. She was the only person that knew about my love for soccer besides my parents. I told her about tryouts and how Edward had been acting, Making the team, and finally about Edward slide tackling me. Giving me the swolen ankle.

"It sounds like he likes you Bella." she said seriously. I couldn't tell if she was kidding or not. I really hope she was because I have no clue why he would like me. It seems like Edward hates me.

"Why would you say that?" I asked. "He hates me." she laughed.

"Okay well you have fun living in your imaginary world you have over there," I didn't get it, and continued to stare at her. "Okay I'll explain for you. Well, you said he was teasing you at tryouts. Oh and the ways you said he acted when he was over because he was locked out is another clue. It seems like he talks to you a lot. Its just like when a boy likes a girl when they are in first grade. He teases and makes fun of her to get her attention."

"Where not in first grade Alice," I said. I dont get what she's trying to say. Shes never even meet Edward. Shes seen him since he's my neighbor, and I told her storys about him from when we were kids but she still has never talked to him before. I dont get why she would assume someone likes me when she has never meet the person.

"Its still the same thing as guys get older. There maturity never grows only there bodys do," she said, and I had to laugh at that.

"Okay Alice, when you meet him and you still think this then you can let me know but untill then lets stop talking about him. I get enough of him all day." After that we both went up to my room to hang out for awhile. She decided she wanted to give me a makeover at 7 o'clock at night. You have to love Alice. I never win arguements with her so I just didn't want to put up a fight this time.

"Sure ," I said, trying to sound as happy as I could knowing that I would be getting my hair tugged and pulled by a pixie. "Can I at least put on pajamas though, so I can be comfortable while I'm being tortured?" I asked nicely. She agreed so I went to the bathroom and threw on a pair of white basketball shorts and a black wife beater. I brush through my hair before I go out because I know that if I go out and let her do that I will have no hair left on my head.

"Okay finally we can start," she said as I exited the bathroom. she automatically sat me down in my computer chair infront of the mirror. I was talking to Alice about how things were going at her school while she was doing my make-up and hair when she stopped. It had only been about twenty minutes so I know she couldn't have been done by now. It takes at least a good hour before she is normally finished.

I turn around to see a smile on her face. "Whats up?" I ask her suspiciously. I had no idea what was going on.

"Well," she said draging out the word. "I was talking to my parents and I know I told you I would never be able to live in Forks and everything but I thought about it-" I cut her off right there.

"Oh my gosh Alice this isn't going where I think it's going, is it?" I asked her excitedly.

"Don't interupt me. I've been looking for the perfect time to tell you!" she said. Also very excited. "As I was saying I was talking to my parents and they agreed that they would buy a house in Forks as long as I limited my shopping to two days a week."

I jumped up from the chair and squeeled, giving Alice the biggest hug ever. "I thought it would be nice living closer to my best friend. Don't get to excited though, I haven't even told you the best part yet." she paused. I looked at her with big eyes, waiting for her to tell me more news. "Were going to be neighbors!" She yelled. I couldn't believe it. My best friend was going to live right across the street from me. It felt so surrel getting all this good news at once, but I didn't mind.

After we settled down a little bit Alice continued to give me my makeover. We were chatting the whole time about what people she will and will not like at my- I mean our highschool. She told me how she was going to decorate her new room and that I had to help he pick out the color for it.

After about another hour she was finally done. I looked in the mirror and I couldn't believe what I saw. She had made me look beautiful. My hair went from being wavy and frizzy to pin-staight and completely smooth. She gave me some smokey eye shadow that showed off how big and bright my brown eyes were and some lip gloss that made my lips shine. I turned around and gave her a big hug thanking her for what she had done.

We went down stairs and started to watch Up, and let me tell you, that is the funnieest movie ever. Me and Alice we laughing at the part when the old man wouldn't let the kid inside the house while it was floating in the air, when we heard the door bell ring. Not wanting to go to the door alone me and Alice paused the movie and went together. I got my crutches and we walked over to the door.

Right when I opened it though I wanted to shut it again. "What do you want Edward?" I asked. It took him awhile to respond though. It looked like he was zoned out. Or he was staring at something.

He recovered after acouple seconds though and said, "My parents wanted me to invite your family to dinner Sunday night at six. I didn't know if it was to late to come over or not but I heard a little bit of laughing and squeling coming from the house and I was pretty sure you were still awake."

"Yeah I'll let my parents know. We will be able to make it. Tell your parents thank you," I said smiling. I noticed him look at Alice and realized I hadn't introduced them yet. "Oh yeah and this is my best friend Alice. Alice this is Edward." They both said.

"Nice to meet you," They both said at the same time.

"Well I better head back now. See you Sunday Bella," he said winking at me, "Nice meeting you Alice." I closed the door and me and Alice went back into the living room.

Right before I started the movie Alice said, "Well, now that I have meet him, is it safe for me to say I think Edward likes you now?"
