Characters belong to Stephenie Meyer...unfortunately.


I drove home with the two idiots in the back of my silver Volvo. We needed to decide a song, but Emmett and Jasper were too busy talking about their girlfriends in the back. Jasper's girlfriend was my best friend Alice. And Emmett's was Rosalie. I didn't particularly care for her. She could be quite rude sometimes. But, I supported Emmett as my brother.

However, I wished they didn't remind me that I didn't have anyone that I could call mine. I mean, I had pretty much every girl that was available and some of the ones that weren't at my disposal, but they were all so…alike. None of them had any personality. They were all trying to be something they weren't. The only girl that didn't seem like the others, was my Biology partner, Bella Swan. She was so…fascinating. Everything she said was brilliant. I had had a secret crush on her since she moved here in January of this year, but I was too afraid of rejection to ask her out. Almost as amazing as her mind, was her physique. She was beautiful. She had long brown hair that floated on her shoulders. Her slender figure was quite alluring as well. I had to be careful not to stare at her.

I almost missed the turn to our driveway thinking about her, but nevertheless, I turned onto to our long driveway and made my way through the lush woods and down the winding road. I approached the house and pulled into my personal garage. I killed the ignition and got out of the car and the other s followed. We walked into the surprisingly quiet house, careful to watch my back in case one of my siblings tried to ambush me.

"Esme? Carlisle?" I called out.

"In the kitchen!" Esme responded immediately.

We walked into the kitchen to see Esme putting cookies on a plate. Emmett grabbed one while her back was turned and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Emmett!" Esme exclaimed.

"Yes?" Emmett mumbled with a full mouth.

"Those were for you boys anyway, you didn't need to steal one. I thought I taught you better than that." She shook her head in mock disappointment.

"Sorry mom." He flashed her a quick, innocent smile. I rolled my eyes.

"How was your day boys?" Esme asked. I craned my head towards my brothers.

"Ask them." I said callously. Jasper rolled his eyes.

"It was great mom; we signed up for the Talent Show as a band."

"Oh that's wonderful boys! Why do you have a problem with that Edward?" she asked.

"They didn't ask me," I mumbled like a five year old. Esme walked over and pinched my cheek between her fingers.

"Aww…they didn't ask you?" I shook my head. "Well, now, that's not very nice is it?" I shook my head again. "Well, your brothers would like it very much if you would play guitar and sing for their band. You know that you're the only one that can actually sing. You don't want the audiences' ears bleeding if one of your brothers singing, do you?" I shook my head again.

"Fine," I mumbled. "But only for the audience." Esme laughed.

"Okay, run along and pick out a song okay? Emmett, Jasper?" she directed her attention to them.

"Yeah, mom?"

"Make sure Edward has a say in the song choice, okay?"

"Sure thing, mom." Jasper answered.

We left the kitchen and headed up to my room to decide on a song .

"Okay, so what that hell are we doing for a song?" Emmett asked.

"Well," Jasper began. "I have a few options. We have "How could this happen to me? By Simple plan,"

"No," I contradicted, "Too depressing."

"I agree with Eddie," Emmett said. I groaned and rolled my eyes.

"Emmett, I hate it when you call me that!" I whined. He laughed.

"I know. That's why I call you that." I moaned again.

"Okay, focus guys. You guys know that there will be scouts there, right?" Emmett and I both perked out ears and actually paid attention.

"Scouts? Really?" I asked.

"Yes, and they're looking for new material. So, the reward for the winner gets a free demo in a recording studio!" Jasper exclaimed.

"That's awesome! We need to kick ass!" Emmett screamed with a huge grin on his face. My smile brightened at that too.

"Okay, so now are you ready to start picking out a song?" Emmett and I both nodded our heads simultaneously. Jasper grinned.

"Okay then. Another choice could be, Psycho by Puddle of Mudd." I laughed.

"Now Jasper, what does that song convey? To me it conveys that the singer is a schizophrenic psycho. I really don't want to walk around school and have people call me a psycho."

"I think that would be kind of funny," Emmett mumbled. I threw my pillow at him.

"Shut up Emmett!" He laughed.

"Well, that leaves the final choice…Super Massive Black hole by Muse." I loved that song. It had always been one of my favorites. Emmett seemed to agree.

"Hell yeah!" I yelled.

"I agree with Emmett, I love that song." I concurred.

"I do too. So it's settled. Super Massive Black hole by Muse. Awesome." Jasper said.

I smiled and nodded my head in approval, while Jasper and Emmett exchanged a suspicious glance. Jasper walked over to Emmett and showed him the paper that had the song titles written on it. Emmett's eyes lit up, and Jasper grinned widely.

"Care to share with the class?" I asked Jasper. Both Jasper and Emmett looked up. Jasper smiled again and walked toward the door, Emmett not trailing far behind.

"Oh, nothing you'd be interested in. Sports stats and whatnot. Boring, right? Okay, bye Edward!" He said exiting the room immediately.

"Bye Eddie!" Emmett called out the door.

What were they up to?
