Chapter 1(Bella’s POV)
She paints her nails
And she don’t know
He’s got her best friend
On the phone
She’ll wash her hair, his dirty clothes
All he gives to her
He’s got posters on his walls
Of all the girls he wish you was
And he means everything to her
Her boyfriend
He don’t know
Anything
About her
He’s too stoned
Nintendo
I wish that I could make her see
She’s just the flavor of the week
It’s Friday night
She’s all alone
He’s a million miles away
She’s dressed to kill
The tv’s on
He’s connected to the sound
He’s got pictures on the wall
Of all the girls he’s loved before
She knows all his favorite songs
Her boyfriend
He don’t know
Anything about her
He’s too stoned
Nintendo
I wish that I could make her see
She’s just the flavor of the week
Yeah!
Her boyfriend
He don’t know anything about her
He’s too stoned
He’s too stoned
He’s too stoned
He’s too stoned
Her boyfriend
He don’t know
Anything about her
He’s too stoned
Nintendo
I wish that I could make her see
She’s just the flavor of the week
Yeah she’s the flavor of the week
She makes me weak.
I sighed. I love that song. I’m Bella Swan. I go to East Coast Academy. My roommates were Alice Brandon (her real name is Mary Alice Brandon, but she hates the name Mary), and Rosalie Hale. Everyone calls her Rose though. Rose is blonde and beautiful. Her long blond hair goes to about her mid back. She has the right curves in all the right places. Alice is petite and small. Rose and I call her the pixie. Her black hair is cut in a pixie style. She also has the right curves in all the right places. Then, there’s me. I’m plain with mousy brown hair and muddy brown eyes. I had no curves and wore baggy shirts and sweat pants. I wasn’t beautiful or exotic like Alice and Rose.
“Bella!” Alice shrieked as she came hauling through the door with ten thousand bags on her arms.
“I’m typing a report for English class Alice, what?” I snapped, then irritably rubbed my eyes.
“Sorry.” I apologized for snapping at her. She just waved it off.
“I met the NICEST guy ever! OMG! He was sooo cute and really nice and kind! And the best part, He’s part of RIPTIDE! I MET JASPER WHITLOCK!” Alice screamed, jumping on my bed. I gasped and started jumping with her. Riptide was our favorite band. Rose banged through my door, her face practically split into two by the huge smile taking place on her face.
“No, the best part was that they invited us all to go clubbing with them tomorrow! Isn’t that great?!” Rose squealed.
“You guys’ll have so much fun!” I exclaimed. Alice and Rose rolled their eyes at each other.
“You’re not getting out of this one, missy!” Alice said, waggling a finger at me. I sighed and rubbed my temples.
“I have like, twenty papers that are due on Monday you guys! I can’t go!” I exclaimed, getting back to my English paper. I heard Alice sigh dramatically and they exited my room, shutting the door softly behind them. I rolled my eyes and continued writing.
Chapter 2(Alice’s POV)
“AH! It’s him!” I squealed as my phone belted out Please Don’t Stop The Music by Rihanna. I scrambled for the phone and answered it.
“HI!” I squealed into the phone. There was chuckling on the other side.
“So can you guys come tomorrow night?” Jasper asked. I sighed again, plopping onto the couch next to Rose.
“Bella REFUSES to go! I don’t know what to do! She claims she has a bunch of essays due on Monday, but I know Bella and, knowing her, she’s already done them. She’s probably going to spend the night watching Titanic and eating ten thousand gallons of ice cream like she does every Friday night. I don’t understand how she can eat that much ice cream and not gain any weight! I tried that and had to go to the gym every day! I swear that girl is a bottomless pit! She eats 24/7 and isn’t fat at all! Gah! I wish I could do that!” I ranted to him.
“Whoa! Alice! Hold it. She won’t go, even though we’re RIPTIDE? You said that we were her favorite band!” He exclaimed.
“Yup!” I confirmed, resting my head onto Rose’s shoulder.
“Hmm…force her.” He suggested and I chuckled evilly. My evil chuckle was interrupted by a large yawn.
“Go to bed, Ali. Nighty night. Tell Rose good night from all of us, k?” He said. I said goodbye, told Rose their goodnight and went to bed.
I woke up in the morning to the smell of pancakes and bacon. I hopped out of bed and padded sleepily into the kitchen to see Bella at the breakfast bar sipping a cup of steaming coffee and reading the paper.
“Morning, Ali. Coffee’s on the counter.” Bella said, not even looking up. I drank a cup of coffee and perked up. Rose walked into the kitchen already ready. I took a shower, grabbed a quick breakfast and we were off to class.
The day went by fast. Pretty soon, it was time to get ready. I smiled evilly at Rose and shoved Bella forcefully into the bathroom with a strapless black dress.
“You’re going!” I screamed through the door and walked away.
Chapter 3(Bella’s POV)
I sighed and stepped into the steaming hot shower. There was no getting out of this. I had really wanted to watch the Titanic again. I rolled my eyes and massaged my head with my favorite strawberry scented shampoo. I changed into a revealing strapless black dress that ended mid thigh and opened the door.
“Alice!” I called down the hallway, then sat at the vanity desk in her room. She walked in and smiled.
“You’re so good, Bella!” She exclaimed and started on my makeup as Rose did my hair. When I looked in the floor length mirror, I gasped. The girl in the mirror had smoky grey eye shadow, eye liner and mascara. Her lips were full, ruby red. She had curves that were accented just right by the tight black dress.
“I…I’m hot!” I exclaimed, doing a twirl for Alice and Rose. They giggled and the doorbell rang.
“I got it!” I called, running barefoot on the hardwood floor. I pulled the door open to see three extremely yummy boys.
“Hi! Come on in! One minute!” I smiled and dipped back to Alice’s room, putting on the silver flats, the bangles and did some last minute touch up. I heard Alice and Rose say hi. I straightened my dress and strode into the room, a smile lifting on my face. We headed out, taking two cars. Alice, Rose, and I rode together and the boys rode together.
“Edward’s really hot!” I giggled, turning red. The girls giggled with me and we pulled up to the hottest club around, Twilight. We climbed out. The stupid clumsiness decided to take over and I tripped over a crack in the parking lot. I closed my eyes when two arms wound tightly around my waist. I opened my eyes to be met with a pair of vibrantly green eyes.
“Thanks!” I giggled and he smiled a crooked smile. He let me go and I jogged ahead to catch up to the girls.
“So anyway! I never introduced myself! I’m Bella!” I said. Alice giggled and took my hand. We skipped ahead.
“Why are you so peppy!?” Alice asked, smiling at me. I shrugged and twirled around with her as we waited for the others. I smiled as they caught up.
“Hello ladies. Go on in.” the dude said, and we went in. My mouth dropped open. Edward laughed and led us to a table. Alice brought food and we went bananas. Everyone went off to dance.
“Would you care to dance?” Edward asked, holding out his hand. I took the leap and took his hand. We went out to the dance floor. The song changed to a slow song. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he wrapped his around my waist. We danced. The night went by in a blur. I fell asleep dreaming of a certain bronze haired, green eyed boy.
Chapter 4(Jasper’s POV)
(Next Day)
“Hey Alice! Open the dang door!” I called through the door. The door opened to a very bleary looking Alice.
“Blah! Bella’s cooped up in her room and the coffee’s not done!!” She exclaimed, letting the three of us in. I heard music coming from Bella’s room. I slipped away to listen at the door.

Wow, she was good. Everyone was now gathered outside of her door.
“You can all come in!” She called through the door. I entered first and she was writing something in a notebook.
“Uh…hi.” I said awkwardly, embarrassed by being caught eavesdropping. She rolled her eyes.
“Hi.” She replied, giggling. I peered over her shoulder at the notebook and saw lyrics. She closed it and put the guitar away.
“You’re really good.” Edward commented, smiling at her. She blushed tomato red.
“Thanks. I am not really though.” She replied and walked into the kitchen. I raised my eyebrows at Alice and she just shrugged.
“So, what are we gonna do today?” Bella asked, plopping down at the kitchen table.
“The guys and I have practice. We wanted you girls to come listen.” I said hopefully. I wanted Alice by my side at all times.
“Great!” Bella chirped and we headed out.
“This is our version of an oldie.” I said and Edward started out on his guitar. At first it was a little rough, but Bella smiled at him and it got a whole lot better.
Imagine me and you
I do
I think about you day and night
It’s only right
To think about the girl you love
And hold her tight
So happy together
If I should call you up
To pass the time
You say you belong to me
And ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be
So very fine
So happy together
I can’t see me lovin nobody but you
For all my life
When your with me
Baby the skies will be blue
For all my life
Me and you, you and me
No matter how you toss the dice
It has to be
The only one for me is you
And you for me
So happy together
If I should call you up
To pass the time
You say you belong to me
And ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be
So very fine
So happy together
I can’t see me lovin nobody but you
For all my life
When you’re with me
Baby the skies will be blue
For all my life
I can’t see me lovin nobody but you
For all my life
When you’re with me

For all my life
For all my life

For all my life
(Badababa! Badababa badababa)
So happy together
So happy together
So how is the weather
So happy together
“So?” I asked anxiously as they thought. I sung that song and I didn’t want the love of my life and her best friends to think I sucked.
“It was great!” Bella exclaimed, dancing around the room. I looked over at Alice with my eyebrow raised. She shrugged. I stepped up to Bella and grabbed her shoulders and looked her straight in the eye. I shook her.
“Snap out of it!” I called. She giggled and twirled out of my grip, humming tunelessly. She twirled up to Edward and stumbled. He wrapped his arms around her waist and hers rested on his chest as they stared into each other’s eyes.
