I'm in a forest, it's eerily quiet and there's a rustle of leaves. I swiftly turn to see what's near me, and find none other than Edward Cullen standing in front of me. He's smirking at me like I'm a snack, and then scoops me up with ease. I can tell my face registered the fear bubbling inside me, because he chuckles.
"Oh Chelsie, you think I'm going to kill you. Drink your blood and you're done, right?" I nod frightened. His smirk returns. "Well, I'm not going to do that."
"What? W-why?" I cock my head a bit in confusion, and then move it back once I realize it would give him easy access to my neck if he had a change in heart, or hunger.
"Because, that's not what I do; I only drink the blood of animals, like a vegetarian-" Edward stops talking abruptly and I give him another confused look.

"Chelsie! Chelsie open the door! Amber's here! Open your door!" My eyes snap open and I lift my head, receiving an ache in my neck. I groan and roll my neck to try and lessen the stiff ache. I then wipe my mouth realizing I must have drooled, but I never drool. Then I see my novel on my lap and understand: I fell asleep reading and dreamt the part that I read to; myself in place of Bella. Man, two guys fighting over me, I'd only be so lucky...
The banging on the door reminds me that someone is trying to get my attention. I jump up off the bed, more aches in response. I swing open my door and see Shelby. I rub the sleep from my eyes before responding and acknowledging her presence.
"Shelby? What do you want so early?" I ask still tired. She laughs.
"Early? It's almost noon! And if you didn't hear me Sleeping Beauty," she teases, "Amber is here." Then she walks off. Probably to listen to Ross. Or maybe get lunch considering what time it is.
I walk down the hall and through the kitchen to get to the main hallway where the front door is. I see Amber waiting there and try my hardest to smile. I'm still practically asleep. She smiles brightly at me.
"I hope you don't plan on going out in that." She chuckles.
"Nah, come pick me something to wear." i say turning around and going back to my room, with her to follow.

"So my sister isn't the only premature teenager out there?" I ask sarcastically and take another sip of my smoothie as we walk around the plaza. Amber laughs.
"Apparently not. Gina entered that same contest. She's obsessed over some blonde kid; he's on Disney!" She shrills! I chuckle as we get a few looks from people around.
"Well his music isn't terrible, especially his families band; they're great. And he's not a kid, he's our age." I comment. She looks at me and her eyes widen.
"Are you serious!" She pipes yet again gaining looks for her volume. I laugh.
"Yeah why?" I ask shrugging, and taking another sip of my yet-to-be-gone smoothie. She grabs my arm like a life line.
"What if we met him?!" More looks from some now very annoyed people. "We could be famous!" She throws her arms in the air. I laugh at her until in hunched over holding my stomach. She puts her hands on her hips. "What Chels?" She raises an eyebrow at me.
"Y-you sound like...like Shelby!" I squeal through laughs, and trying to catch my breath. This is why me and my friends are a bad idea in public, we are so obnoxious.
"Well it's possible." She defends. I snicker.
"Yeah, if we won and of course if we were supermodels." I counter and take the last sip from my smoothie and throw it away in a near-by trash bin. She stops me and gives me a look; her hands on her hips again and her eyebrow arched, again.
"You're kidding right? Chelsie. You. Are Gorgeous!" I roll my eyes.
"Stop bluffing." I mumble as we walk out of the plaza and down the sidewalks to the bus. Yes, we are seventeen year olds taking the bus, don't judge. "So wait," I start changing the subject. "If they both entered, and they both love him, and there's two tickets..." I ponder, trailing off.
"Why wouldn't they just take each other? I know, I thought that too and Gina looked at me like I was a numb-skull. She said that she would take me or Shel would take you 'cause they want him to meet us. They think he'll fall in love with us." She said laughing and rolling her eyes. This time I give her a look.
"You were saying the same thing like ten minutes ago!" I exclaim. She just smiles sheepishly. "I kinda do want one of them to win though, they would die of fangirling." I joke making Amber laugh, and she snorts.
She freezes instantly and looks around embarrassed. "I can't believe I just... snorted." She says the word appalled. I laugh at her this time. "Shut up!" She whines turning self conscious.
The bus stops a few blocks from my neighborhood so we get off and start walking. "I wasn't laughing at you. Just the fact that you sounded disgusted." I say and remembering it makes me laugh again.
"Yeah, only gross people snort." She counters. I shake my head at her, and we continue to walk in silence.
When we make it to my house we go inside and head to the kitchen.
"Hey girls! How was the day out?" Mom asks coming through the kitchen doorway after us.
"It was fun." I say with a smile and a shrug.
"I snorted..." Amber says the same time as me, still in awe at the fact she can make such a noise. Mom laughs at her and comes over giving me an awkward side hug.
"Well, it sounds like you had a good time, and that's great." She says. "I won't see you two 'til later though." I raise an eyebrow and her. "Mark and I are going out." She says with a peck to my forehead. I nod as she walks away.
Once She's gone I turn to Amber. "Okay, mental gag!" She giggles at me being overly dramatic. I could only imagine what 'going out' means.
We go up to my room and shut the door. I instantly turn on some music and then join her on my bed. We sit and gossip about random things. About an hour later I hear my door open. I see Shelby in the doorway. She doesn't even ask before coming in and shutting the door again.
"Mom said her and Mark are gonna be gone for the night, I shuddered." She says knowing I'll agree.
"She gagged!" Amber states pointing at me and then laughing. She knows perfectly well why we reacted the way we did. That's why it's so funny to her.
"Yeah, well you snorted!" I retort. Shelby laughs at our playful banter. Amber throws a pillow at me.
"Shut up!" She squeals. I chuckle knowing I've won. Amber clears her throat, changing the subject. "Anyway, since your parents aren't home, would they care if I spent the night?" I laugh.
"Of course not! And even if they were home they wouldn't care! They love you, or at least Mom does." Shelby nods. We share a glance awkwardly imagining what it would be like if Mark did like Amber, or us. We both cringe. It's not what we're used to, it would be totally weird.

I yawn and stretch rubbing my eyes to rid them of sleep. I look around my room to see blankets, pillows, popcorn, and dvd cases scattered everywhere. I get hit in the thigh and see that Amber just kicked me with her foot, she's still asleep.
I sit up and start getting out of bed when I nearly step on Shelby on the floor. Woops... She makes a weird noise and then rolls over on her other side. I cautiously step around her and around the mess to the doorway. I go out to the kitchen to get a glass of Orange Juice. I almost jump out of my skin when I see Troy sitting at the island.
"Morning." He says showing off his braces again as he smiles. I smile and give a small wave.
"Good Morning." I say yawning again. He chuckles.
"I saw I scared you." He says smirking.
"Yeah," I say and then look away sheepishly. "I kind of forgot you were here." I mumble feeling bad. He shrugs.
"I couldn't have forgotten you and the other two were here," he mumbles. "You were being so loud and girly over your movies." I chuckle remembering us watching the classic movies like 'The Sandlot', 'Aquamarine', and 'Cheaper by the Dozen'. It was a nice night, and we stayed up late. Way later than Mom would have let us. I sit with Troy and we talk a little more until the girls come in the kitchen together looking groggy.
"Ugh, I'M HUNGRY!" Amber growls in a tired voice.
"Yeah Chelsie, can you make us breakfast?" Shelby whines taking a seat next to Troy.
"Yes ma'am," I say sarcastically. "You know there's cereal in the pantry." I say rolling my eyes. Both of the girls groan and I smirk. Amber brings Shelby the cereal and they both sit down to eat.
After eating we decide to be our girly selves and gossip while getting ready. It takes us a few hours to finally finish. We all have on cute outfits, nice make up, and we all did our hair. I straightened mine, since mine is naturally wavy, Amber curled hers along with Shelby. We all gawk at our reflection in my body mirror.
"It's time for a photo!" Amber exclaims obnoxiously pulling out her phone. I chuckle at her.
"Okay, okay just don't snort again!" I tease. Shelby laughs along with me and Amber pouts.
"What ever, let's just-" Amber gets cut off by Mom.
"Girls! We're home!" She calls. The three of us glance at each other before going out into the main hall to greet Mom and Mark in the doorway.
"Hey Mom." Shelby and I say smiling, only giving a wave to Mark.
"Hi Mrs Greene." Amber waves politely.
"Girls," Mom chuckles. "What are you all dressed up for?" I shrug.
"Can't three teenage girls get dressed up for no reason?" I retort raising an eyebrow.
Mom raises her hands up in surrender and chuckles again. "I guess so," She replies. "Have fun." We turn around to go back to my room.
"Where's Troy?" I hear Mark mumble to Mom.
"Oh right," She complies. "Girls, where's Troy?" Mom asks. I turn around shrugging.
"I think he went to Sam's." I answer. They both nod.
Sam is our neighbor who is the same age as Shelby and Troy. Him and Troy do basketball together too. I turn back to the girls and we go back down the hall to my room. We are going to have an obnoxiously girly photo shoot.
