The proposal
"Oh Bella?" He said as he got up from his seat, his smile widened with my eyes as I watched him approach. Oh no, this was going to be bad, I just knew it; it was just my luck to be stuck in this class with him. The teacher was half-crazy already and had the enthusiasm that most newly trained teachers did, before actually experiencing the job.
Our assignment was, as our teacher put it, "going to be a chance for us to see what it would be like to live in the real world" he had then produced a small box from under the table and placed it on top with a light thump, opening it to reveal a plain steel band. "Marriage is not something to take lightly" he began, pausing to look at each one of us in turn. I had smiled at his attempt at being ominous "so for the next week you will be pairing up with a classmate and experiencing what it would be like to be married. You will then hand in a ten-page essay on your discoveries... Now in a minute I will let you choos..." Emmett stood up suddenly, his chair legs scraping across the floor, I winced and shook my head, turning to glare at him.
He walked towards me quickly, throwing himself to his knees in front of me dramatically "Bella, I know we haven't known each other very long but I can't contain myself anymore" his eyes gleamed as he winked at me "dump Edward and elope with me" he pretended to beg "you know you love me more than him" I burst out laughing at his idiocy, deciding to play along "oh Emmett yes!" I cried as I jumped into his arms, he spun me round while the two people sitting beside me ducked, narrowly avoiding a kick to the head, I laughed again at their faces as they popped back up. Emmett turned to our teacher "sorry sir but I cannot let my fiancée wear a cheap ring like that" he scoffed, pretending to act outraged at the thought as he gestured to the box on the teacher's desk and dug his hands into his pockets, producing a small box and presenting it to me with an evil smirk. As Emmett slid the ring on my finger, I worried about how much he had spent, I twisted my hand, watching it sparkle. Rose was not going to be happy if he was foolish enough to spend more on this ring than on hers. I prayed I was being too hard on his intelligence, I liked my head where it was.
The rest of the class filed to the front of the room to get their rings from Sir, as I turned irritably to Emmett asking "why didn't Alice tell me about this" Emmett just laughed "because your face was hilarious and if she did you would have ditched with Edward and left me to dogs" I saw his eyes dart quickly to group of girls staring at him and back again, "besides, you will be fun to be married to, I don't think Edward is going to be very happy though" I raised my eyebrows at him in question, he grinned evilly. "Monogamy" I shook my head " you don't keep me from Edward, I won't keep you from Rosalie" he nodded as the school bell rang. Finally.
