Let the drama commence:
BPOV
Edward was there as I left the bathroom to get the rest of my stuff ready to go to school. He smiled as I entered my room and rose from his seat on my bed. I walked over to him wrapping my arms around his neck.
I stared into his piercing topaz eyes never wanting to look away. I couldn't comprehend how a few months ago I didn't even know he existed. I couldn't remember much of the time before he was in my life. It seemed like a different lifetime that I lived in Phoenix completely oblivious to the supernatural world that we lived in. And now, here I was, in the arms of the most beautiful creature ever to exist. How did I get so lucky?
"What are you thinking about, love?" He asked with his eyebrows furrowed in frustration. I had to admit he was so adorable when he was irritated that he couldn't read my mind.
"I was just thinking about how lucky I am that your mine and how I can't possibly understand how I ever survived without you next to me." I said being completely honest with him. I laid my head in the crook of his neck and inhaled his intoxicating scent. He always said that my scent was intoxicating, but I don't see how that's possible when you compare it to his. It was so unique and addicting I knew I would never have enough of it. I would always need more.
"I believe you have that backwards, my dear, for I am the lucky one. I will never understand how I deserve you." He wrapped his arms tighter around my waist bringing me closer to him. I sighed in bliss. This is where I wanted to stay forever, wrapped in Edward's arms. Unfortunately, time would not cooperate and stop like I asked. Before I knew it we were out the door and in the car headed toward school.

The day had past quickly and before I knew it I was sitting at lunch with all my favorite people.
Emmett was busy whispering into Rosalie's ear things that, I'm sure, would be making her blush if she could.
Jasper and Alice were in their own little world as usual staring aimless into each other's eyes having a private conversation.
Edward was ranting to me about the disrespect today's teenagers have for classical music as I smiled and nodded my head in agreement. No need to tell him that I was off daydreaming in a far away land rather than listening. Knowing me as well as he did, he probably already knew I wasn't really paying attention anyway.
"So, I have an announcement to make!" Alice declared pulling us all away from our activities to focus our attention on her.
"I'm so surprised." Edward mumbled while rolling his eyes. He received a harsh glare from Alice. I elbowed him in the side (although it probably hurt me more than it hurt him) and motioned for Alice to continue.
"I have set down some rules for tonight's festivities. This is to insure and guarantee that everyone will have a fantastic time and get to do something they enjoy."
"So, you're not splitting us up!" Emmett beamed at the prospect. It was hard not to chuckle at his eagerness to stay around Rose tonight.
"No, Emmett. We are splitting up the guys and girls tonight."
"But, you just said, and I quote, 'This is to insure and guarantee that everyone will have a fantastic time and get to do something they enjoy'. So, unless Rose and I are alone in our bedroom, or anywhere else for that matter, I don't see how that's possible." He winked at Rose with an impish smirk. Rose looked like she was internally battling with herself over whether or not to smack him in the head for his comment or take him to the jeep for some alone time.
"Emmett, stop being such a baby and suck it up man!" Alice was beginning to lose her patience.
Emmett looked like a little boy whose puppy just ran away. I took a glance around the table to find that I was not the only one trying to contain my amusement.
"Alice, chill! Not everyone has to be as excited as you about your little 'arrangement' tonight. In fact, I would say none of us are happy about it except you, and maybe Jasper only because he doesn't have the balls to say no to you." Rose rebuked coming to her husband's defense.
Rose always said exactly what was on her mind no matter how harsh it was. It was one of the attributes I have always admired about her. She was strong and independent. She could take care of herself and handle anything thrown her way. Of course, sometimes she comes off really bitchy, but she has good intentions and she always tells the truth. She was definitely that type of person you had to get to know before you judged them. Once I got to really know her and we got to share our viewpoints on things, we became close friends. We could relate to each other even if we were two completely different personalities and people.
Jasper, however, didn't take to kindly to her bold statement. He looked as if he was about to lung across the table and attack her; which, if we weren't in a crowded cafeteria filled with humans, he probably would have.
"Jasper, maybe you should step outside." Edward interjected received an icy stare from Jasper. I had a feeling between the swirling emotions and Rose's comment that Jasper was thinking nothing but murderous thoughts.
Alice leaned down and gave Jasper a peck on the cheek and whispered something in his ear that seemed to brighten him up. Then, she straightened and turned to face the rest of us with a stern, and slightly frightening, stare. "No, he's fine. Now, if you'd please all stop acting so immature and juvenile, I'll continue what I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted," she took a minute to give us all the don't-you-even-dare-think-about-interrupting-me-again glare before continuing. "The rules for tonight shall be as followed: no mingling with the other group until tomorrow, each group must do one thing that each member wants to do, that activity can not include sleeping, resting, fighting, etc... you must actually do something active that interests that person- and I will be checking," she added while tapping her finger to her temple, "so don't insult me by thinking you can fool me."
I glanced around the lunch table while everyone absorbed the rules. Emmett looked like he was going to cry. Rose looked pissed. Jasper looked like he wasn't even paying attention. Alice looked so excited and proud of herself. When I turned to look at Edward, he had a mischievous look in his eye.
"What's with the look?" I asked.
"What look?" he countered, his face pretending to look completely innocent.
"Don't give me that. I know that look. It's the look that you get when the little wheels are churning in your head formulating a plan. What's up you sleeve, Cullen?" I gave him a genuinely curious look. He seemed to have no intention of answering truthfully though.
"You'll just have to wait and see, love." He gave me that crooked smile that makes my heart feel like it's about to jump out of my chest. Unfortunately, right as I was about to kiss his perfect lips, the bell rang signaling the end of lunch.
EPOV
The day ended all too soon. For once, I was actually hoping that the school day lasted just a bit longer so I would have more time to spend with my love before we got separated for the night.
I met Bella in the parking lot, where she was standing with the rest of my family. I had hoped to get a minute alone with her, after all this was going to be a long night, but Alice seemed to have other plans, as always.
"Can't I at least drive Bella to our house and we can all separate there?" I was looking for any excuse to get a few more minutes with my angel.
"Edward, just say good-bye and get in the car. Don't be so dramatic." Alice rolled her eyes before giving Jasper a quick peck on the lips and sliding into her Porsche. Rose was already in the backseat and I noticed now that Emmett and Jasper were both already in my Volvo waiting for me.
I turned to Bella and sighed. "Fine, I'll play along for now, but I can't guarantee I'm going to make it the whole night without killing Emmett and Jasper in order to escape and come rescue you." I whispered in her ear so the others could barely hear. She chuckled, gave me a kiss on the lips, and whispered, "I'm ok with that," before stepping away and getting into Alice's car.
I watched Alice speed out of the parking lot until I couldn't see her car anymore. Then, I forced myself over to my Volvo and started up the car. It would be a long night, but hopefully we could at least make it without killing each other. Plus, my secret plan was bound to be very much appreciated if I could pull it off.
I turned to face my brothers. "Well, where to first?"
A/N: Well, I hope you're enjoying the story. I'll try and have the next chapter up soon. Leave a review and let me know what you think.
B over and out.
