Chapter 1

BPOV

"NO! NO! NO! I have definitely nothing to wear! Alice, this is hopeless!"

I was standing in front of my wardrobe trying to find something suitable to wear. "Come on now, Bella stop panicking and put these on!" she handed me a pair of skinny jeans and a lacy blue top."You will look great, I promise. Oh and these silver ballet flats are the perfect match!" Alice was sitting there calm and perfect in her new dress. Of course she was always perfect! All I could find were jeans, sweaters and t-shirts. None of them was suitable.

It was Christmas Eve and her family and mine will be having dinner together as always. I knew them as long as I lived. Our families were really close friends for years. We live in the most boring town in Washington DC. In Forks. Her father Carlisle's an excellent doctor and her mother Esme an architect. Esme and Renee, my mother, used to be best friends at high school and they are still close like me and Alice now. She has an older brother Emmett who's 16 and a twin brother Edward.

She was really beautiful with her long black silky hair and emerald eyes. Edward used to call her pixie because of her tiny little figure. And indeed she looked like she had run out of a fairytale.

I, on the other hand, wasn't that attractive. My body's really skinny and my hair is long brown and curly. My features aren't so bad either. I have something I like on me: my eyes. They are big chocolate brown and covered with thick eyelashes. Unfortunately I am well known for my two left feet and my sloppiness. I have a record of accidents and falls that my older cocky brother never let me forget. Ian.

Tall, gorgeous with black short hair and icy blue eyes. Of course every girl who ever wanted, he could have it. And to top of it all was Emmett's best friend! Always I was their favorite source of jokes! Damn!

Speaking of the devil… the devil himself was standing on my door frame dressed in jeans and a black shirt. He was watching us with his arrogant – I'm just perfect- look on his face.

"What's with the mess sis? You've never had that kind of problems. Does that mean that there is a boy now? Spicy huh? My little sis starts dating! Who is he? Do I know him?"

Hell he noticed! Of course there was a boy. He was the most handsome guy I've ever seen. Tall, messy hair, green eyes, best soccer player, popular with a lot of girlfriends etc...

And the best of all…my best friend's twin. Edward! Yes I've known him since always, we have grown up together but we had never been really close. But something changed a couple of months ago when I fell for him. He had been my first and last thought. No one knew, not even Alice until now that my older brother decided to draw some attention to me!

"Shut up Ian! Go worship yourself in the mirror a little more and leave as alone!" I yelled at him. He was getting on my nerves because he knew me so well to understand that I had a secret. A big one! I was sure that he was now determined to find out what was it about only for pissing me off!

God damn him! I was screwed up! He didn't even move… still looking at me with a huge grin on his face.

"Whoa! There is someone! I don't believe it! Tell me everything! Is he a good kisser? Tell your lovely bro, who stole my little sister's heart!" Ian continued eager to know my secret.

That was it! I threw him the fist thing I found! Alice's new bag!

Fuck! I was dead! Thank god the zipper was closed but it hit him on the head! Now I was dead twice.

They both opened their mouths but just in time- "Ian, Bella, Alice come on we're leaving. We're gonna be late." Renée shouted from downstairs. I heard Emma singing Christmas carols and I wished I could be carefree like her. Emma was my 3 years old sister with light brown hair and blue eyes. Only me from my siblings had inherited Charlie 's brown eyes.

On the way to their home my heart was beating so fast that I was impressed no one heard it. We were close now…I was going to see him. I was sure that he didn't feel for me the same way I felt for him but that couldn't stop me from thinking about him the way I wanted. These mesmerizing green eyes and his crooked smile were always on my mind. I was daydreaming all the way to their home and I suddenly came back to reality…I will, as always, be invisible to him.

As we entered the glorious house, he was standing at the bottom of the staircase like a Greek God exactly as I'd been imagining him. He was wearing a deep blue button down shirt and a pair of jeans. We match! Right… only he was looking like was ready for an Armani jeans photo shoot!

"Emmett! You are not gonna believe it! Our little Bella just had her first crush!" I heard Ian shouting and now I was gonna faint! What the hell was he thinking? How dare him, saying these thing in front of all of them and especially Edward!

Emmett didn't say anything but he winked at me and had a glow in his eyes that I knew so well. Oh God he wouldn't forget about that, but for now he let it go. I was thankful for that.

Edward was just looking at us without interest. He already had a girlfriend of course. Tanya. A strawberry blond cheerleader. The soccer player and the beautiful cheerleader. The perfect couple.

I didn't say a thing in front of him. I was just standing there, blushing like crazy. Alice noticed my discomfort and dragged me out of the room. I owe her.

This would definitely be a long night.
