I sat on the school bus on the way back from the greenhouse trip, tracing a love heart on the condensation of the window. I engraved the two letters 'E/E' into it, representing 'Edward and Esto', but quickly swiped it off with my sleeve.

I was sat alone, thank God as I preferred solitude. I heard Mike and Jess flirting at the back of the bus. I smirked at it and pushed my head to the glass as hard as I could but wouldn't break it to try and see Edward's bus. If I saw that bus I'd swell with dazzling delight. Just seeing the thing that Edward touched, or was in connection to, made me feel so happy. I smiled to myself at the thought of just Edward, the snow white prince with syrup irises.

As I let my mind float around Edward, my imagination swirling about him, I drifted off into Never-Never Land. The relaxing darkness ensnared my eyes and consciousness, transporting me into a dream...

I walked, quickly but carefully through an onyx forest. Conifers loomed over my frail body. I seemed to be looking for something yet I couldn't find it. I leaned my back against a tree, moving downwards, my knees coming up to my head. I cupped my head in my hands stretched my face. Looking up from my hands I saw Edward. He stood next to a tree in front of me, smiling wickedly. My eyes were glued to him, transfixed... I sat there, a brief smile grazing my face unlike his which caressed his face. He glided over to me and squatted next to my body. His hands cupped my face, my chin resting on his long, pale fingers. His eyes pierced into mine caringly, and then turned malevolent. I gasped. "What's wrong?"

His voice turned demonic. "I'm not what you think I am!"

My voice trembled. "Edward, what are you talking about?"

He moved over to me and stared darkly into my face, burning a volcanic hole into it. "C'mon, Esto, what mythical beings have pale skin, don't come out in the sunlight and have unnatural strength?" His voice was serious and his mouth was drawn into a straight line.

My breath trembled as I realised...I knew...

"Hey, Esto, we're home." Angele said, nudging my arm.

I fluttered my eyes open, looking around and remembered where I was. "Oh..." Was all I could conjure.

I got up out of my warm seat and felt the icy chill of Forks embrace my body. I noticed it was 3:05pm, therefore school had finished.

I trotted off the bus, my feet dragging on the wet, black tarmac. Edward swooped like an angel...or demon, off the adjacent bus. As soon as he noticed me his face lit up. He smiled and waved, but I stared through him. He noticed this and the lips on his face craned down into a grimace, his eyes narrowing into slits.

I snapped out of it, snapped out of my foolish dream. Of course he wasn't a vampire, vampires don't exist! I smiled to him, my eyes warm. He retreated from his sad expression and brightened into a glowing angel. He gave my a crooked grin revealing his pearly whites.

I ran up to him, and gave him a hug. I shut my eyes, but knew that Alice was watching with a perky smile on her face whereas Jasper was in his usual monotonous expression. I looked up and saw Edward's arms were closing softly to embrace me too, his face confused yet touched. A brief chuckle escaped his ruby lips. "What's brought this on?"

I let go of him, as did he to me. "We're meant to flirt aren't we?" I gave him a few blinks under my lashes. He was taller than me, so he was bent his back back a little to properly take me in, therefore our crotches touched only slightly.

He shook his head jokingly and grinned. "Mike's not pleased."

"Huh?" I glanced back and saw Mike giving Edward daggers. I looked back at Edward who gave a teasing grin to him and looked down at me.

"So, you still remember the flirting agreement?" Alice and Jasper had left now so it was just me and him away from the rest of the group, who huddled around a student who fainted.

"Yes." I stammered out, twirling my finger seductively around his shirt.

A nervous yet aroused smile was victorious upon his face. "Well, we'll do it."

As school had finished and we were at school Edward grasped my hand with his, sending the arctic shockwaves through my body as per. He led me to his Volvo.

"Edward, what about my truck?" I asked, wanting to get out but something held me back, something inside.

"Alice 'n Jasper'll bring it home for you. In the meantime, where do we flirt?" He gave me a handsome smile and his eyes were in their normal bronze tint as was his hair.

"Um, I don't know."

He chuckled and ruffled my hair playfully. "Guess it's your house then."

Edward sped out of the parking lot, swerving dangerously down narrow streets and past bulgy cars.

"What if Charlie's home?" I asked, worried.

"He's not."

"How do you know?"

"I just do. I hope your friends; Mike and Eric in particular, don't mind me stealing you." He glanced over at me, smirking devilishly.

I slapped his arm playfully. "Ooh, Edward have you been working out." I said this in a mocking voice.

He gave me a 'really?' look.

"What? We're flirting, right?"

"Surely you can flirt better than that, Esto." We reached our house in a flash.

"Um..."

He laughed and helped me out the car, holding my hand and leading me into the house...even though it was my house.

"Where do we flirt in the house?"

"Um, my room?" I pondered.

"I think that's where we'll go after our flirting." He gave me a wink.

"What?"

"Joking." He slapped my butt playfully but squeezed it a bit more than last time.

I shook my head and sat on the couch next to Edward.

"So, what's your favourite movie, Esto?" He asked, smirking, his grey pea coat wrapped warmly around his Greek God like body.

"Probably Amadeus or...Lord of the Rings. What about you?"

"I don't watch movies, I read books. And before you ask my favourite book is Wuthering Heights." He looked at me happily, like he'd finally found a great gift.

"Oh, my God! Same!"

"Really?" He didn't sound surprised.

"Yes, I read it every night."

"I know you do." He looked at me with a grinning mouth.

"How do you know?" I said, perplexed.

"I just do."

I scoffed.

Edward then, without any warning hugged me. His cold arms wrapped around my frail body, my arms lay like tights to me side, daring not to move as it would ruin the moment. His head rested steadily on my shoulder, his mouth next to my ear. "Don't do anything stupid, or reckless at La Push." He whispered seductively yet caringly into my ear. I shuddered with love and lust at his breath next to my ear, his voice so angelic it sounded almost unreal.

"I won't." Was all I could mutter out. I lifted my arms to wrap around his body. I fitted them cosily under his pea coat, so my hands were in his coat. He retracted his embrace and looked at me, pondering something. "What're you thinking about?" He asked.

"You."

"Me? Why, thank you. I'm honoured to be in that illustrious head of yours." He was such a charming and romantic gentlemen.

"Edward, you're so affectionate." I smiled to him, probably the third real smile I've actually beheld in my time at Forks.

"Well, I can't help but be affectionate and romantic when I'm near you. You make me happy, Esto." His voice was as soft as the clouds yet as sincere and concrete as the rocks.

I rested my hand against his chest and smiled up at him.

He looked down to me lifted me up on to his lap. I gasped but didn't retract. "What're you doing, Edward?" I asked, nestling my butt into his crotch.

He smiled at my action and lifted himself into my ass; I could feel his erection rub through his pants. "Flirting."

I felt like a baby bird in a nest as I rested my buttocks into his groin. He smiled and did steady thrusts, dry humping if you will. I giggled. "Edward..."

He smirked and placed his hand just above the apples of my ass and then retracted, pushing me off him steadily. He rested a cushion on his groin and chucked me one. I scoffed and placed that over my groin too, embarrassed slightly. "What?"

"Charlie's coming?"

I sighed. "I know." He said to my sighing. He moved over to me and stroked my cheek. "Have a nice time at La Push." And in a flash he was out of sight. I let a sigh escape me, a groan more like.

Charlie opened the door quickly and loudly. He hung his shit up and walked into the living room, jingling some Chinese food in bags in his hands. I smiled. "Is that dinner?"

"Yup." He replied, and sat down next to me, handing me a fork he got from the take out.

"How's your day been, Dad?" I said, looking over to him, shoving a forkful of chow-mien down my throat. My erection was barely faltered as I just could hardly get out 'humping' off my mind. He was too hot!

"Bad. There've been some murders down at Grisham Mill in Mason County by some kind'o animal." He sounded sad and worried.

"An animal?" I replied, shocked as much as he was.

"You're not in Phoenix anymore, Est." He said this and turned on the TV, watching a baseball game.

I said I know under my breath...

Wednesday and Thursday went by in a flash. I sat with Edward on both of these days at out newly acclaimed table. People were apparently starting to talk of how much we were hanging out, as Edward never hangs out with anyone. I smiled at this, knowing he likes me.

We talked mainly of our likes and dislikes, how the day is, y'know, the usual.

It was Friday, and the day of the trip to the Quileute Res. I was actually a little excited. The sun was out...well a bit, the atmosphere was in the air and I was in the mood for some beach time. I sat with Mike, Jess, Angela, Eric, Tyler, the slut Lauren and some other people who decided to join us on the trip.

"It'll be fun, Esto. You're gonna go surfin', right?" Mike asked, next to me. He and Jess were officially dating but he still seemed to like me, which was uncomfortable.

"I don't, surf." I scoffed, and looked over to Edward's table. Edward was looking at me, and smiled sweetly then turned to Alice as she was talking to him. Alice waved at me and smiled; I waved back and turned around.

The day ended and I went home, everyone else was buzzing over the trip. I drove home and got changed into some casual attire and headed over to Mike's parent's shop where everyone was waiting. I left a note to Charlie stating that I had gone to La Push and I'd be back early...I think.

"There he is!" Exclaimed Mike, who waved me over. Everyone turned around, much to my horror as I hated attention.

"Yup." I replied.

"What took you?" Asked Lauren witchingly.

"I had to get ready; some of us make an effort." I said back, in a serious expression. Mike was backing me up by laughing at my comeback. Angela walked slyly towards me and Mike, and Jess followed. I liked Angela.

"There's no need for you to get ready, we're only going to the beach." Everyone was quiet now, looking at the scene unfold.

"Um...Well I want to look good for my friends, y'know."

"Friends? I'm not your friend, hon." She gave me a wicked grin.

"Yeah, I don't care." I scoffed and turned away, wanting to go over there and bitch slap that slut to Hell! She scoffed too and went to her group of friends.

"Jess, how can you be friends with her?" Angela asked.

"She's nice once ya get to know her." Jess was looking for help but in all honesty, no one liked Lauren...

We all packed into the cars and vans, my trying to get the furthest from Tyler, not wanting to get killed.

The car ride there was not too bad, me and Angela played a game of cards and Jessica and Mike flirted in the front.

We got to La Push. It wasn't really the best beach in the world but it was okay in this weather as to be honest it was quite hot. The guys and girls, who were Mike, Eric, Jessica and a few others, got dressed into the surfer clothes which were just very tight water garments. They all yelped in joy as they ran to the waves with the surf boards in their hands. We all huddled around a merry fire, which was in the centre of a circle of logs to sit at. Graffiti was carved into the logs but whatever.

I sat with Angela, not leaving her side. Lauren kept giving me dirties but I ignored her. I was never good at comebacks but I did try...

Mike and the rest ran back, dripping wet with joyous smiles on their faces. Their happiness seemed to be contagious as it reflected onto me and Angela.

"I guess it was fun?" I asked, laughing.

Jessica, as always the hysterical one said first. "It was amazing, Esto! Me and Mike were this close to some whales!"

I was actually shocked. "Seriously? Wow!"

"I know, right." Replied Jessica.

Mike as he was the mastermind behind this trip ordered for the smores, hot dogs, burgers and hot chocolate to be cooked. I smiled at the food.

I saw them behind sizzled deliciously on the giant barbeque, the juice emerging angelically from them. All this time though, I couldn't get my mind off of Edward.

"Hey, Est. let's go whale watching." Supposed Angela, and a few other girls, except Lauren, thank God, agreed to come too. I agreed. I saw Mike's face drop at my leave but I wouldn't be gone for long.

We trotted up the hill, for some reason we sung 'Be My Baby' by The Ronettes.

We had a lot of fun singing and reached the high cliff that overlooked a whale breeding ground. I watched humpbacks dive down into the grey and murky depths. We 'wowed' and 'woahed' and headed off back. When the fire was in eye line I saw it had expanded to about 25 people, at least six had joined. They all seemed to be from the Res., and I could swear one of them was Jacob. I smiled to myself and trotted over the wet sand.

I sat myself down and heard Lauren flirting tirelessly with Tyler but he was like, blowing her off big time. I glanced around, trying to see if Jacob was here but no sign. I sighed in defeat and went to watching my fellow peers. Angela was sat next to me yet had her earphones in.

As I fumbled with my hands I felt to warm hands cover my eyes. I gasped and jumped at the sudden contact and heard Jacob's familiar warm laugh behind me. He sat down next to me, his arm draping over my shoulder, to which I shrugged off. "What're you, like, stalking me?" I teased.

He laughed. "Hey you're on my Res., remember?"

I laughed with him. "What made you come down here then, Jacob?"

"Well since you said before that you'd be here I couldn't resist." He had a teasing smile on his face.

I giggled.

"So why isn't your date here then, Esto?" Lauren said suddenly out of the blue, making Jacob snap out from him looking at me.

"Date?" Mike said defensively.

"He invited Edward." Lauren said condescendingly.

Angela gave Lauren a hard look, piercing into her.

"To be polite..." I said in my defense.

"You asked for Edward to come?" Jacob had some jealousy and anger in his voice.

"Yeah, why? Are they not allowed here or something?" I scoffed, looking around the entire group.

"The Cullens don't come here." Boomed a tall, short haired Quileute man. He wore clothes for Phoenix, not Forks.

Silence fell over our part of the group, like we were mourning someone, whilst the rest of the group chatted on. Lauren smirked to herself at how red I had gone.

Then suddenly a plan emerged in my head. If I could convince Jacob through flirting why the Cullens weren't allowed here then well...I'd have the reason to why they weren't allowed her.

I'm a genius.

"Yo, Jacob. You wanna go for a walk on the beach?" His face lit up like lightning.

"Sure." He was trying to hide his enthusiasm.

On the beach we walked quite far from the group. Jake's long hair brushed at his shoulders. He'd look a lot better with short hair.

Now time for my master plan.

"So, what did that bigass guy mean by, 'The Cullens don't come here?" I mimicked his deep voice, earning a laugh from Jake. I let me hand graze his and his Adam's apple moved back and forth in nervousness. Jackpot.

"Well, um, really it's just like an old scary story. And also it's a secret to our tribe..." He was blushing.

"Hey, I can keep a secret." I smiled at him, amiably.

"Um, okay. Well y'know our tribe is descended from, like, wolves." He smiled at me and he lifted his eyebrows indicating the story was bogus.

"Wolves? Well, okay then, but what's the story about the Cullens?"

"Yup, wolves. My great grandfather, the chief, found them hunting on our land."

"Hunting?" I was confused, what did they hunt with?

"Well apparently they hunt with their hands and teeth, much like vampires." I gasped at the word vampire.

"Vampires, eh?" My eyes stared forward in worry and shock.

"Yup, anyway. These 'vampires' claimed to be something different so we made a treaty with them. They can't hunt on our land and we can't step foot in theirs, and vice versa." His voice was sincere, and he lounged an arm around my shoulder. His arm was bulgy, like he was working out. Last time I saw him which wasn't long ago he was quite small and thin.

"I see..."

"Our tribe called them the Cold Ones."

"Why?" We turned back now to head to the fire. The sky was fading into a twilight sunset.

"Because they were cold?" He mocked and tightened his grip on my shoulder. Jacob, unlike Edward was warm...very warm....very snug.

"Shut it, smart ass," We laughed. "So are these vampires like related to the Cullens?"

"No, according to the elder's tales, they're the same as the Cold Ones the chief met." Jake's voice was riddled with scepticism; clearly this wasn't real to him.

I gasped, my breath trembling.

On the way back to the fire, which was sending high plumes of smoke into the twilight air me and Jake made small talk, joked around and just laughed together. I felt a big connection with this guy; I really should hang out with him more...

We reached Camp Lauren, or so that's what it seemed as she was being the Queen Bitch and was telling everyone what to do. *Face palm*

As I entered the circumference of the logs I noticed Jacob give Mike a sinister look and was sure I heard a low growl escape his lips. I shrugged it off but gave Jake a look that said 'Don't start.'

After saying bye to Jake and the rest of his group we headed off back to the vans which were perched on a small car park just above a hill near the fire. We had to walk up a flight of log like steps to get to the lot but it was no biggy.

When I got up there I was about to get into the van we were in but a warm hand caught mine. I turned to see Jake there, red in the face from what seemed to be running and was panting like a dog. "Jake, what're you doing?"

He stopped panting, and seemed fazed by the long sprint up the steps just a bit, which was odd as anybody else would probably be dying on the floor from exhaustion. "I wanted to say, that you really should come down to my place some time. Charlie knows where it is." My heart warmed at Jake's enthusiasm and determination to just say those words.

"I will, Jacob." I smiled to him and he smiled back. I got in the van and watched him run down the stairs at astonishing speed, just before the van set off. I heard Mike and Jess flirting as per and I was really fatigued by the day. "Hey, Angela, can I sleep on your arm?"
