So, chapter 2 is here. I'm surprised to see that not many of my old fans are reading. But for those that have reviewed, THANK YOU. It means a lot to me. Oh, and one warning about the music: It's pretty much a guarantee that there will be an Avril Lavigne song every chapter. So if you have Avril with a passion, too bad.

"Wow," Emmett said. He pulled open the Jeep door. "Just…wow."
"What?" I asked. "The parts, the director, or the girls?"
"All three!" Emmett exclaimed. "Didya see the blonde? Rosalie?"
"Yeah," I answered. "What a looker." I climbed into the Jeep.
"Dibs."
"Fine. But I want the brunette." With my looks, I could get any girl I wanted.
"Her?" Emmett asked. "She's too meek."
It was true. Bella had looked shy and insecure standing next to that hyper pixie Alice. They seemed like polar opposites.
"…So, what do you think the movie is about? I hope it's not a pointless mushy chick flick. I hate those. Butcha know, it wouldn't be so bad if I was starring with Rosalie…" Emmett trailed off as he revved the Jeep and we peeled out of the parking lot.
"We have a part. We can work up from there," I pointed out. "We're lucky to have gotten chosen at any rate,"
"Yeah, whatever. Come on, bro. We've got girls to catch!" Emmett pounded on the wheel, honking the horn and making the driver in front of us glare.
"You can take your pretty little Lexus to—"
"Shut up, idiot," I grumbled. "Just get us out of here."

"Oh my God oh my God oh my God!" Alice said, bouncing in the seat of the truck and nearly swerving into the driver next to us.
Watch it, Alice! Both hands on the wheel! And why are you Oh My God-ing?" I asked.
"My life is perfect, Bella! I just landed a part in a movie, my life's dream, and I'm working with the hottest guy I've ever seen!"
"And what am I? Chopped liver?" I asked in a horrified voice.
"And I have an awesome BFF," Alice amended.
"So you've finally found a guy you're willing to chase?"
"Yes. I can already tell Jasper is perfect for me."
"That's a bit premature."
"Bella, if the perfect guy came walking up to you and asked you out, would you honestly not be able to believe he was your soulmate?"
"I know my soulmate," I answered.
Alice sighed. "Whatever."
"So, what about the others? Emmett and Edward and Rosalie?" I asked.
"Rosalie looks stuck up. Emmett is scary. Edward looks like a player." Alice proclaimed.
"But you never know," I contradicted.
"You never know," Alice agreed.

"So, Rose, how are you feeling?" Jasper asked.
"Honestly? Jacked up. I feel like I've won the lottery!" I exclaimed.
"I know! It's perfect. The movie's being shot here. We're both doing the same one, and we have good-looking costars."
"Oh really? Who caught your eye, Jazz?" I asked mischievously.
"Alice. The pixie. She's a handful, that one. But…there's something about her!" Jasper exclaimed. "What about you?"
"Edward Cullen." I answered confidently. "He's really something."
"And the others?"
"Well, Emmett is good-looking, I'll give him that. But he looks a little insensitive. Alice looks like she'd be a fun friend. And Bella looks really shy. But Edward was looking at her, and it's so obvious he wants her. And not me," I finished.
"So you've got competition," Jasper mused.
"And you don't. Alice was looking at you, too. She had this look in her eyes like she wanted to just go up and kiss you!" I growled.
"Rose, I can take care of myself. Honestly. You don't need to be so overbearing, even if you are ten minutes older than me," Jasper protested. "Anyway, I'm not making a big deal over that Emmett guy staring at you."
"He was?" I asked.
Jasper sighed exasperatedly. "Honestly, Rosalie. Are you blind?"
"Whatever. So not interested."
"You're so cruel."
"I know." I sighed.
"Maybe you should just give him a chance," Jasper suggested.
"And since when have you become a matchmaker?" I asked.
Jasper sighed. "Ugh, Rose. You're hopeless."
"That's my middle name."
"And not Sarcastic?"
"No, it was Vain."
"Wow. That's sad. You don't even know your middle name."
"Hopeless!" We chimed in together, then burst into a fit of laughter.

Emmett and I pulled into the parking lot of La Bella Italia right in time. We recognized the minivan and the beat-up red truck in front of the restaurant immediately. We walked into the restaurant.
"Edward! Emmett!" Alice called. She was standing with Bella, Rosalie and Jasper by the matron d's podium. She waved us over.
The girls all looked beautiful, Bella the most. Her blue and silver dress contrasted with her pale skin, making her look like an angel. Alice was twirling around in front of Jasper, presumably showing off her fresh-off-the-runway black and red flared dress. Rosalie was standing off to the side, staring into the distance. She was shivering, despite the warm summer air and the gray sweater dress she wore. That's odd, I thought. Rosalie didn't seem like the type to wear long sleeves, and it was too warm for early June.
I walked over and greeted everyone. "Hey, Bella, Rosalie, Alice, Jasper." Rosalie looked disappointed that I'd said Bella's name before hers'—and that I was looking at Bella at that moment.
But Bella wasn't looking at any of us. She was looking at someone over my shoulder. As she lifted her hand to wave, the light glinted off a diamond ring on her hand.
I turned to see who she was waving at, and was almost knocked over by a giant russet-skinned man bounding towards us who had swept Bella up and was now kissing her enthusiastically.
Now, I'm not to withhold chapters for reviews or anything, because I write for fun, not reviews, but I do like reviews. So please, please, PLEASE review. Pretty please with a cherry on top?
