Chapter 1: Emmett's "play dates".

Edward's POV

"God Emmett, could you shove anymore food into your mouth?" Jasper asked with a chuckle as Emmett practically shoved a whole cheeseburger into his mouth.

"What's that, your fourth or fifth burger?" I asked playfully.

Emmett took a minute to chew, then swallowed before answering.

"I need to eat a lot, Bella's in town and we have a play date" Emmett said, emphasizing the word play, whilst elbowing Jasper.

Emmett has been having these "play dates" with this Bella for a while, every time she's in town.

"She said she has something important to tell me" he said, smiling.

"Let's just hope it isn't that she's had a kid or is having a kid that's yours" Jasper said, playfully.

"Oh god, you don't think that's it do you?" Emmett asked, absolutely freaked now.

"I mean, it can't be, I mean I don't think…"

"Geez Emmett, chill, I was kiddin" Jasper said with a chuckle.

"God, now I wont be able to think of anything other than that for my whole date, thank you Jasper" Emmett said sarcastically.

Jasper shook this head, before going back to his food.

Emmett continued to shove more burgers into his mouth.

After a minute of silence, whilst we all ate, Emmett's phone started to ring.

"Ero'?" Emmett said with a mouth full of food.

"Bwela" he practically choked whilst saying what I think was meant to be Bella.

"Of course, yer, I'll see you there, yer, cya" Emmett put his phone in pocket whilst standing up.

"Dudes, I'll catch ya later, Bella's running early, but if you wanna meet her, finish lunch then come to the apartment, kay?" Emmett asked, however, ran off before we had the chance to answer.

"Dude, he's got it bad" I stated, watching his figure becoming smaller and smaller.

"Shame he only gets to see her a couple times a year" Jasper added.

"Yer, shame" I quietly added.

We continued eating in silence.

"Rosie Posie" Jasper randomly yelled out, I looked up to see a very annoyed looking Rosalie, however, when she noticed it was Jasper calling her, her mouth spread into a smile.

Rosalie hated anyone calling her anything other than Rosalie, only a special few, well really only me, were allowed to call her Rose. And only three people in the whole world were allowed to call her Rosie Posie, these people being her parents and her twin brother, Jasper.

She began talking to her "posse".

Rose was not a cheerleader, and swore on her long blonde hair then she would never become one, which, for Rosalie, meant a lot, however, her posse consisted of all the cheerleaders, and a few people high on the social ladder, Rose, of course, the leader, kind of person.

All of the girls looked over her shoulder, towards me, and started to giggle.

'God, get a life girls, I will never date any of you… EVER' I screamed in my head.

Rose started walking towards us, the group of girls standing in the same spot, waiting for her to return. A couple were brave enough to give me a flirtatious wave, however, I just looked away.

"Why does she hang out with those girls?" I asked Jasper in a whisper.

"Because, let's face it, she has no other friends" Jasper whispered back.

Rosalie was a very beautiful blonde, and was one of the nicest people I've ever met, however, if you mess with her, she is everything but nice.

She sat down in front of us, in the seat Emmett just vacated.

"God" she said as she sat down, "why do I even hang out with those losers?" she asked us, as a rhetorical question… I think.

"I'll tell you why, because I have no other friends" she said as she sighed.

"Here's an idea Rose" Jasper said in a fake enthusiastic tone, "Make some"

"No, no one around here is good enough. I mean except for you guys, whom I would not exactly call friend friends, Lauren and her posse of two, those girls are the top of the social ladder at this school" She said with another sigh.

I opened my mouth to talk, but my phone started to ring.

'What was with phones and interrupting me today?'

I looked at the caller ID.

"It's my sister" I told Jasper and Rose.

"He has a sister?" Rose asked Jasper as I picked up the phone.

"Apparently, but I have never met her, I don't even know whether or not she goes to this school" Jasper said as he went back to his food, offering Rose some of his chips.

"Hey Alice, what's up?"

"Hey Edward, oh nothing much, just thought I should call you, haven't talked in a while" Alice said, enthusiastically.

"Alice, you called me last night, and made me turn on to the fashion channel so you could tell me what you thought of the dresses, and ask me what I thought. Emmett now thinks I enjoy fashion shows and is talking about getting me tickets to a fashion show for my birthday"

"Oh, tell him to get two and we could go together" Alice said enthusiastically. Everything about Alice was enthusiastic.

"Alice?" I said her name as a question.

"Fine, I was bored and I want to gossip with someone"

"Then call a friend" I said simply.

"I don't have anyone, why do you think I spend my lunchtimes in my dorm, shopping on the internet" Alice said in a tone that made it sound as though that should've been obvious.

"How was I supposed to know what you do in your lunch times? And I'm to busy to "gossip", I'm having lunch with Jasper and Rosalie" I stated, hoping it would get her to shut up.

"Oh ok" she said, sounding disappointed, which made me feel a tad bad, but with in seconds, she was back to her enthusiastic self. "Remind Jasper of the Christmas party with Mum and Dad next weekend, oh and tell him to invite Rose, I'm sure mum wont mind. I'm inviting my new roommate, once I meet her" Alice added the end bit sheepishly.

"I'll be sure to tell him, good-bye Alice"

"Good-bye Edward" then the line died. Thank God for Jasper and Rose.

I walked back to the table and sat down.

"So?" Jasper asked, looking sincerely interested.

"She told me to remind you about the Christmas party with my family next weekend and also told me to tell you to invite your sister" I said, looking at Rose.

"Really?" she asked hopefully.

"Sure, why not?" I said, shrugging.

She squealed and came and hugged me.

"It's either that or skiing with Tanya. I don't mean to alarm you, but I think that girl has a shrine of you, she is that obsessed. I wouldn't be surprise if she had stuff of yours that she's stolen all over her dorm" Rose said with a chuckle, Jasper joining in.

"Gee thanks" I mumbled.

Tanya, as if knowing we were talking about her gave me a very flirtatious wave and a wink.

"God, don't they know that I'd never go out with any of them" I stated, turning to look at Rose.

"Why don't you just say you're not into dating?" Rose asked.

I went to answer but Jasper answered for me.

"He has, but that just made him more wanted, as if the girl that made him change his mind would become queen of the school or something"

"I need to get myself a girlfriend" I said sighing, slouching down, rest my face in my hands. Then an idea hit me. "Or at least pretend to have one. Rose, pretend to be my girlfriend, please" I asked, hopeful but begging at the same time.

Jasper chuckled along with Rose.

"Edward, I'm not going to pretend to be your girlfriend just to stop girls from bothering you, sorry" she said as she got up. "I got to go" she said looking over to all the girls, standing in the exact same spot as before, waiting for their leader to return.

"Go, you're no use to me anyway" I said jokingly.

"But Rosie, I'll call ya later to tell you about the Christmas party" Jasper said.

Rose walked away, taking her spot in front of the other girls, walking away, the girls following, however, some managed to give me more flirtatious waves.

There was a minute of silence.

"So…" Jasper said slowly.

"So?' I asked, looking at him.

"What's your sister like" he asked, curiosity burning in his eyes.

"She is you type man" I said jokingly.

'Alice and Jasper, that is one couple that will never happen' I thought with a chuckle.
