Also, this is my first fanfic so pls no flames.

Bella's POV

"Good morning, you," I said as I climbed into the Volvo of my best friend since preschool, Edward Cullen.

He smiled at me and handed me a thermos of our usual coffee blend, "Back at you, stranger. Ready for the first day of senior year?" he asked as he sped down the street toward Forks High. I was used to his speed on the road, given that his whole family, of which includes my other best friend Alice, drive at light speed in their flashy cars.

"I hope. I'm also glad to have a friend like you who will save me from falling everywhere. I can't believe that we got the exact same schedules this year!" I started getting worked up, but then I cooled down as i gazed at Edward. I also can't believe that I haven't told you how i really feel about you.

As soon as the car stopped someone opened my door for me and offered a hand, "Bella! I've missed you so much! How was your summer? Don't tell me you got a boyfriend and didn't bother calling me!" Jacob Black babbled on and on. Sometimes I wish that he weren't so, in love with me. And don't think I'm conceited by that, he actually admitted he was in love with me last year, but i shot him down. We still remained close though, but too close for my comfort.

"So Jacob, what's your homeroom this year?" Edward asked, thankfully cutting Jacob off and saving me from hearing his voice for another second before my head burst into flames. Edward winked at me and snaked an arm around my waist, pulling me toward the gates of our school.

"Umm.. Bauner. I think he's the new pre-calc teacher. How about you?"

"Well, Bella and I have the exact same schedule this year, and we have Smith," he smiled.

"Oh, cool. Well, I'm gotta go. See you guys at lunch," he waved and walked away, looking hurt. Why should he be hurt? Was it because of me and Edward? We were just friends, but maybe could he have sensed more in our relationship?

My cell rang, pulling me out of my trance and back into reality. It was Alice, my girl best friend.

bella! omygosh! its our senior year! its going 2 be awesome! where r u and my dear bro??

This was going to be a great year, my senior year, and I was going to spend it with Edward. If only I could tell him the truth...

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Edward's POV

Bella and I started walking to our first class, to our senior year, together. Hopefully this year, I thought, I would get the courage to tell Bella how I really felt about her. That I have loved her for years, ever since we got ditched our last day of junior high and went the the beach, looking into her eyes as she was gliding on the water on her surfboard. How corny does that sound? I'm in love and too stupid to say anything about it. I can't anyways. Bella was like a sister to me. I can't help but think that's all we might ever be.

"This year will be awesome. I know it," she said. She smiled her smile that made my heart melt.

"I know," was all i could manage to say before Alice, my twin sister came up to us, attacking Bella with a bone-crushing hug. I laughed. pulling my sister off of my best friend- and soon to be girlfriend, hopefully- and pulling her into a hug.

"You guys are such a couple," she stared at us hugging. I glared at her.

"What? You think that I'm really the only one who would say that at this school? You guys are practically inseparable!" I gave her a don't-push-it look. Alice was the only one to actually know about my love for Bella, because I've told her the second I found out, and she's been trying to figure out ways to get us together ever since. The rest of the student body and all of my family, thankfully, saw us as brother and sister, otherwise everyone in my family would be doing the same as Alice.

"Alice," I said in a stern voice, "Bella and I are practically brother and sister. Anything like that would ruin our friendship," I actually managed to say without my voice cracking.

"Y-yea, Alice. I can't believe you would say that," Bella stammered. She was lying, I could tell. But why? Why would she lie about that? I thought for a moment when Alice told Bella something about our schedules being exactly the same, as if someone went to the office and requested it for us.

As Alice prattled on about this year, I felt Bella tense in my arms every time Alice mentioned the words "you and Edward" I thought it was a little weird, but i brushed it off and brought my attention back to Alice, realizing I just spent five minutes staring at Bella. Alice noticed it too, and started going on about a party we were having at our place, saying that Bella could be my date and all that. I sighed, once you turned Alice on, you can't turn her off.

Thankfully, The bell rang right before Alice was going to suggest she would dress Bella up for the party, but not before she invited Bella to sleep over that night. I liked it when she slept over at our place, we all get to stay up all night talking about everything and we always managed to fall asleep in my room together, Alice sneaking out to leave us alone.

I will tell her tonight. Now or never. I thought.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Bella's POV

I was so glad Alice invited me to sleep over, that way I could spend more time with her and Edward, the two most importan people in my life. Thankfully, the bell rang right before she was going to suggest that she should do my makeup before her welcome back party.

Alice walked away toward the open arms of her boyfriend, Jasper, as Edward and I went to homeroom silently. I rested my head against his chest and smiled.

I will tell him tonight. Now or never.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
