Picking up the Pieces

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight.

I tapped my pencil on my desk. I glanced at the clock. Just five more minutes. It was Friday, and Edward said he had a surprise for me after school. Bring!! The bell finally rang.

I walked outside. Shhhhhhhh! I heard someone whisper. I turned around and looked up. There was Edward standing behind me. I was about to yell, but he put his hand over my mouth. Then he pulled me away from the school.

He ran as fast as he could. Then he dived into an alley. I was about to ask him what was going on, but he just put his finger to his lips. Then suddenly he jumped into the garbage can. So I repeated.

I finally got a word.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"Nothing," he answered.

"Why are we hiding, and who from?"

"Cassidy,"

"Who's Cassidy!?"

"A girl,"

"Which girl?"

"One from Alaska,"

"Which one from Alaska, you really need to be specific,"

"I'll tell you later, can you just be my shield?!"

I gave him a look. He just jerked his shoulder.

Then we saw a blonde girl walk by. She had rosy red lips, with crystal blue eyes, and porcelain-like skin. She also was tall, about 5"10 I'd say. Edward took a pile of garbage and covered himself with it. I took an old broom stick and banged him on the head.

Finally the girl walked away. We stood up. I pulled a rotten banana peel out of my bra. Then he dusted green-bean casserole out of his hair. We jumped out and walked down the street. Suddenly, he stopped at a bench. He sat down and gestured me to sit down next to him. Then he started to talk.

"Ah, Bella, do you want to know why we were hiding?"

'Yeah,"

"Well in Alaska Emmett had a gf and her name was Cassidy Schwats," He started. "She was so beautiful, but her only rule was she only would date vampires. So when she figured out Emmett was a vampire they started going out. Finally they broke up. I secretly had a crush on her, but that was before I saw she was a vampire herself! But, then my crush came back so we started to become friends. Then one day when I was going to say I loved her she made the biggest announcement of her life. She said she was going to be moving to London for 3 years. After that we made a vow that when she got back we would start going out. So now she is back to fin me." He said.

My mouth just dropped.
