Okie-dokie…A few things before I start and let me just rant right now…I'll be calm afterwards

(1) The next person who asks when Emmett appears, I'll just bop you in the back of the head and tell you to go back to chapter ONE. (2) Samuel is not the same person as Sam (from La Push), Samuel is a white, smart ass guy so don't get them confused. (3) Jasper (and Rosalie, who by the way is his COUSIN, but they look alike and happened to have been born on the same day that people joke around saying they are twins) live in Washington but not Forks and not Seattle. I'll mention that later on the story but for now I'll keep you guys on your toes as too where they live. And lastly (4), I'm not sure what's wrong with Edward's parents and even if I did know, do you think I'll just spill it all at once? Of course not, I give clues and hints. Use the context clues people!

Sorry if I seem bitchy, but a lot has been going on. Go read my blog to find out about what's been going on (if you don't know where that is, it's on my website that has all my pictures and what not for my stories).

Anyways…here is Chapter Three. Enjoy.

(Disclaimer is on my profile)


Chapter Three

The Reactions and the IM

Bella's POV

I had hardly stepped out of my truck when Alice was at my side, bouncing on the balls of her tiny feet.

"Well, well, well?" She said as I watched her bounce.

"Well what?" I said as I closed the door and locked it.

"You mean you didn't get a reply?" she said, stop bouncing and looking rather sad.

I raised an eyebrow at her as Emmett walked over.

"What is she talking about, Bella?" Emmett said, smirking.

"Of course, our teddy bear doesn't know what's going on," Alice said, hugging Emmett still looking rather sad.

"Okay what's going on that I don't know about? Did Alice eat the entire sugar jar again?"

Alice gasped pushing away from Emmett to slap him on the arm causing him to laugh.

"I was five when I did that!" she said, really pouting now.

I rolled my eyes. "Alice and I wrote random emails last night," I explained to Emmett.

"And I got a response last night!" Alice said with a squeal causing Emmett, me and everyone else around us to cover our ears.

I slowly uncovered them. "I take it that is why you're so…hyper this morning?" I asked. Normally, Alice wasn't this hyper. I wonder if she drank more than one cup of coffee this morning.

"Well…that and I had three cups of mum's coffee," Alice said, smiling.

I rolled my eyes. "Go figure," I said.

"Hey, where's my coffee?" Emmett asked.

It was Alice's turn to roll her eyes as she dung into the little pouch on her bag that held a thermos of her mum's yummy, yummy brew.

"Yes," Emmett said, unscrewing the lid.

"You guys are going to be so wired," I said with a chuckle as Emmett started to drink the famous Brandon-Get-Up-and-Go coffee.

"So did you get a response?" Alice asked, looking at me with her eyes so wide that I thought that they might just fall out of her face.

"Alice," I said, smirking. "Remember how slow you said my internet is?"

"Darn your father," she said, pouting in anger as she folded her arms over her chest.

I chuckled and shook my head. "I'm assuming that you got one?" I asked, raising one eyebrow.

Alice smiled, looking slightly deviously, as she looked at nothing in particular.

"And I'm assuming you wrote back?" I said, smirking.

Her smile dropped suddenly as she turned her head slowly in my direction. I gasped.

"You didn't respond?!" I said, nearly dropping my bag.

Emmett wasn't paying much attention as he was so involved with his coffee that he was trying to get the last of the drops out so the thermo was literally vertical again but with its bottom in the air.

"I was waiting for you," she said, sadly. "I wanted to see what reply you got."

"And I could have written back," I pointed out.

"Well clearly I didn't think about that," she said, now slightly angry.

Emmett lowered the thermos and looked at us, licking his upper lip. "Okay who's PMSing now?" he asked, screwing the lid on.

"Alice is," I said, rolling my eyes. "She asked for a pad last night from her mom."

Alice gasped, covering her mouth as it dropped in shock, and Emmett boomed out a laugh.

"It's okay Alice," Emmett said, nudging her in the arm as she glared at me. "I got tampons in my locker."

Alice and I looked at Emmett, now really shocked.

"What?" he said, looking puzzled.

"Do I even want to know why you have tampons in your locker Emmy?" I said, raising an eyebrow, slightly smirking while Alice snickered.

"You girls will pay through the nose for a one when you're on the rag," Emmett said, rubbing his nails on his jacket, looking might glad of himself.

"Wow," Alice said, looking surprised. "I didn't know that Emmett was a genius."

Emmett glared a moment at Alice before smiling. "I've been known to have periods of smartness."

"Mhm," I said.

"Meanie," he said, sticking his tongue out at me.

"Anyways, Alice, I'm assuming that you have a copy of the email that you got right?" I asked her as we started heading out of the parking lot.

"Aw, you know me so well," Alice said, throwing her arms around my shoulders.

She let me go and started searching for the paper in her backpack muttering to herself as she went. "Where the heck did I—AH-HA! Found you, you silly little thing," she said, yanking a paper out of a folder and out in front of her. "You can't hide from Mary Alice Brandon!"

I chuckled and leaned towards Emmett to mutter, "Lesson to learn, never hide from Alice if you ever do anything wrong."

Alice smacked me with her arm. I winced and looked at Alice who was glaring at me. I rolled my eyes and took the paper out of her hand that just smacked me and pushed the paper to my chest. I held the paper out and read the email that Alice had printed off.

Alice squealed. "Isn't he the cutest?!" she said, throwing her arms around my shoulders again.

I chuckled and handed over the paper to Alice.

"I can't wait to read your email," she said, smiling as she stuck the paper back into her backpack. "I bet your person will probably respond thinking you're crazy."

"Okay, so he doesn't think that you are crazy," Alice said, leaning over onto my shoulders as she read my email. "He does have a weird sense of humor when he mentioned the—" she shivered "—the bovine defecation."

I laughed. "He does not have weird sense of humor," I said, smiling.

"Mhm," she said, rolling her eyes as she sat down on her bed.

I was about to click 'reply' when suddenly the little icon next to his email suddenly went yellow. My eyes went wide as I saw that he was online.

"Alice," I whispered, my hand shaking over the mouse.

"What?" she said, looking up from the laptop.

I pointed at the screen. Raising an eyebrow, she walked back behind me to look at what I was pointing at.

"Holy moly," she said.

I nodded.

"IM him!" she said, nudging me.

"What?!" I said, looking at her.

"IM him!" she said again, pointing the screen.

"No way!" I said, pushing away from the computer only to be pushed back towards the desk. "Alice there is no way that I'm going to IM him."

Just then, there was a ping, and a little screen popped up on my screen.

PlaySeattlesOwnIvoryKeys: Hi : )

"Oi, tell me that is his picture," Alice said, resting her head onto my shoulder.

"Huh?" I said, still not processing the fact that he had just Instant messaged me.

"His picture," she hissed, pointing at the little picture next to his name.

It was just a face, but it was such a beautiful face. Green eyes were staring at me as he had been staring at the camera. A mask that I've seen doctors wear was around his face, and a little scrub hat was on his head. In bright red "Doctor in the making" was written on the bottom of the picture.

"I would so let him play doctor," Alice said, sighing.

"Ew Alice!" I said.

PlaySeattlesOwnIvoryKeys: Hello?

"Answer him," she said, nudging me again.

"Fine!" I said, clicking the IM and wrote:

IheartDebussy: Hi

"That was anticlimactic," she muttered.

"Hey, at least I responded," I muttered as he responded back.

PlaySeattlesOwnIvoryKeys: Sorry if I scared you. I saw you were on and thought it was easier to IM you instead of email you. : )

IheartDebussy: Lol, its okay. I was talking to my friend.

PlaySeattlesOwnIvoryKeys: The pixie friend?

Alice squealed.

"OW! Alice that was my ear!" I said, rubbing the ear that was probably deaf now.

"He knows me!" she said, bouncing, causing the seat to jerk up and down.

IheartDebussy: Yes, sadly.

"HEY!" Alice said, smacking me in the back of the head. "What's so sad about you talking to me?"

I rolled my eyes as he sent me another massage.

PlaySeattlesOwnIvoryKeys: Hi Pixie :-h

"Aw, I love him," Alice said, hugging me.

"I thought you loved your Emotional person?" I said, smirking at her.

"Yeah, yeah," she said, waving her hand in the air. "I love Emmett as a brother and you as a sister, so that means I can love other people."

"True," I said, looking back at the computer.

IheartDebussy: She says hi back.

"Lair," she hissed.

I stuck my tongue out at her.

PlaySeattlesOwnIvoryKeys: So what are you doing?

IheartDebussy: Just checked my email and about to do homework. You?

"Okay, why aren't you typing in the normal IM way?" Alice asked at me as we watched the other person—E.A.M.—write out something. "You know like writing 'u' instead of 'you'?"

"Because he isn't," I pointed out, smirking. "Besides I like writing out everything."

"You're sad," she said, rolling her eyes to sit on her bed.

"You aren't going to watch anymore?"

"No, but you'll read it too me so I'm good," she said with a smile.

I rolled my eyes.

PlaySeattlesOwnIvoryKeys: Transcribing some music. I finished my homework.

IheartDebussy: Lucky. Pixie is putting off homework again.

PlaySeattlesOwnIvoryKeys: LOL

I smiled.

"Uh-oh, you're smiling," Alice said.

My smile dropped as I went to typing again

IheartDebussy: So what homework did you have?

PlaySeattlesOwnIvoryKeys: Not a lot. You?

IheartDebussy: Just some for math class and foreign language class. Speaking of classes, what classes do you have?

PlaySeattlesOwnIvoryKeys: Um, let me see…AP Biology, AP Calculus, AP English 1, AP Microeconomics…and then a class called Heath Science Technology Education which is three class periods (AN: lol Edward's schedule was mine when I was a senior except for the AP Bio and I'll explain what the HSTE class is in a moment).

IheartDebussy: Wow.

PlaySeattlesOwnIvoryKeys: Yeah, the HSTE class is a special class they offer here where students rotate through different hospitals, volunteering or observing.

I smiled.

IheartDebussy: Sounds totally cool.

PlaySeattlesOwnIvoryKeys: What about you?

I blinked. I wanted to type out 'What about me?' when I remembered that we had been talking about classes.

IheartDebussy: Um, AP Biology, too, but I'm the only one so I'm stuck in normal Biology class, but I get more homework and stuff. AP Calculus (sadly), AP English 2, AP US Government, P.E., Homeconomics, and French.

PlaySeattlesOwnIvoryKeys: Wow, sounds busy…

IheartDebussy: Yeah it is.

PlaySeattlesOwnIvoryKeys: Well I'm sorry to cut this short, but I have to go somewhere.

I felt my heart sink a bit as I sat back into my chair. Clearly I wasn't that interesting if he had to go.

IheartDebussy: Oh, okay

PlaySeattlesOwnIvoryKeys: Yeah, I go daily to see someone about this time and my godfather is waiting to take me.

Oh? I thought, sitting up straighter. Maybe I wasn't that boring after all.

IheartDebussy: Its okay, go.

PlaySeattlesOwnIvoryKeys: Talk to you tomorrow?

My fingers froze over the keys.

PlaySeattlesOwnIvoryKeys: But only if you want to.

Oh I do, I really do.

IheartDebussy: Sure, talk to you tomorrow.

PlaySeattlesOwnIvoryKeys: Night B.S.

I smiled as I thought of something.

IheartDebussy: btw, those are my initials.

PlaySeattlesOwnIvoryKeys: LMAO I thought so.

I laughed.

"What?" Alice said as I typed out:

IheartDebussy: Night E.A.M.

"Nothing," I said, smiling as he signed out.

"Mhm," she said, giving me a look as I turned to look at me.

"What? I said, "seriously nothing."

"Sure, sure," she said. "What did you guys talk about?"

"Not a lot. He had to go so we only talked about classes we take, mainly," I said and then added at the last night, "We plan to talk tomorrow."

"Oh really?" she said, smirking causing me to eye roll.

"So, have you emailed Jasper?" I asked, smirking.

"Not yet."

"Why not?" I said, puzzled.

Alice pouted.

"Not everyone is going to be online, Alice," I said.

"He will be," she said with a gleam in her eye as she typed out something.

"What are you thinking?" I asked as she looked down at her comp.

"Hold on, hold on," she muttered. "There, I sent it."

"Sent what? An email?" Alice was totally confusing me.

Alice actually went "he-he" and did something else on her computer before muttering, "I forwarded to you what I wrote."

Um…why she just didn't read it aloud, I have no clue. But I got a message saying I had a unread email. I clicked on it and saw what Alice had typed out.

Hi, Hola, Aloha, hey and ooo Bonjour : D hehe. Oh yes definitely lucky. Very, very lucky indeed. And mean how many people win a best friend through a random email? Totally cool, no?

So I'm putting off homework, so you'll have to put up with my rambles. My girl friend, Belly-Bells (hehe that's what I call her), is IMing the guy that she spontaneously wrote to the other day…the other lucky person. I'm so jealous of her not because her guy is hot—he's cute—but because she's IMing him. And I was like "oh, maybe my new friend Jasper will get on and we can IM" but I'm sad because you weren't on. –tear, tear– You haven't to make me happy and IM me. Tomorrow after school. Five o'clock. : D

Lol now its my turn to say: Don't keep me waiting ; )

Hugs again since I loved the hugs I got,
Alice

I laughed. "You're nuts Alice, completely nuts!" I said, turning around to look at her.

She smiled and said "yeap" in this cute little face before we broke out in giggling.


So what do you guys think? Good or no? I think that it's good. I'm still unsure what I am going to do with this story but I think its getting there. I have posted the picture of the Emmett Bear on my webpage. I hope that you guys like it, Bear Seven won with 37 votes followed by Bear Three with 25. I like Bear Seven, if I recall Black Bears were Emmett's favorite no? I took everything that the Emmett Bear was designed of and just put it all on one page. I think it's cute. And I designed it.

Anyways, one last thing before I close. I'm thinking about creating a forum on FF where you guys can talk about whatever you want. I'm not sure. I don't want it to have a theme but I just like to have you guys like able to chat and want not. It's also a more personal thing between author and reader because I can talk to you guys, get to know my readers better. So my poll for this weeks is Do you think I should create a forum? I think I should, but I'm not sure yet. Remember this is where you can talk about whatever, problems, ideas, whatever. Anyways, got to run. Remember to vote and also check out my blog. I need a few comments on the one issue that I mentioned at the end.

Huggles,
Nollie
