To WoooHooo- thanks for the review and Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper will come in later, but since it would be weird to have 5 kids all in the same grade (senior year), I have them still in England for right now.
Alright, I got 2 reviews for the last chapter, but a lot more hits, so if you're reading this, please REVIEW! It doesn't have to be long, just one word is fine, I just like hearing your feedback :-).

Heading home, I realized to the full extent what I was getting myself into and I started sweating bullets. What had I been thinking? Not only did I just agree to stay the night at Edward's house for about three weeks, but I now had to tell Charlie that I would be spending the night at a boy's house for the next few weeks; he might have a heart attack.
At least I knew he would not be home when I first arrived, that thought alone prevented me from getting in car accident from my nerves.
When I got home, I took a warm bath and tried to keep my mind off of what would happen in the next few hours and weeks. I tried to think about the different ways Edward had acted towards me and found myself completely and totally confused.
On one side, he would be totally stuck-up as if he was above me and would be rude and arrogant, but then, at times like today, he was really nice and sweet and I would find myself falling for him.
Then, Angela thought he might like me, which I found completely impossible, but was it?

Driving home, all my thoughts were focused on Bella. Yesterday, I was so wrong about her. She was not one of the people who would think I was interested in her just from talking to her, and yet I found myself almost wishing she was.
I knew that would ruin the Bella I was coming to know, but it would make everything a lot easier for me. I knew I liked Bella, but I had no idea how to convey these feelings to her.
I was so used to girls chasing after me and having to run away from them, that when I wanted to chase after a girl, who was not chasing after me, I did not know how to proceed.
I also had no clue as to tell the people watching over Alice and I that a girl would be sleeping over for a few weeks, it would be their job to keep me from getting into any more trouble and they probably would not like the idea of a girl spending the night.
I decided I would talk with Alice. She was sitting next to me in the limo, I really wished we did not have to use that, it drew way too much attention to us, and the amount of money we had.
"Alice?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you know a girl named Bella Swan?"
"I'm pretty sure she's in my math class."
"Oh, well, she told us to feel free to sit with her at lunch," I grinned, expecting her reaction.
"OMG…. SERIOUSLY, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THIS EARLIER, WE'RE GOING TO BE THE BEST OF FRIENDS!!!!!!!!"
"Whoa, Alice, calm down, deep breaths, in-out-in-out." She calmed down slightly and asked me some more questions in a slightly quieter voice.
"Well, how did you meet her? When did this come up? What were you talking about?"
I answered all of her questions and then told her about our psychology project and asked for advice on how to approach the subject of her sleeping over.
"Oh, well let me handle it, let me tell them she is a new friend of mine and that she will need to be over to work on the project with you. Then it will seem like she is staying with me and out of convenience, you two need to do a project together."
I had to hand it to Alice; she was rather smart and manipulative when she wanted to be. I told her to talk to Carlisle and Esme, the couple watching us, tonight.
She agreed and smirked slightly, she evaded my question when I asked her what her expression was about, but it did not go away. She just kept staring at me as if she knew something I did not, or as if she was seeing everything I was not saying, maybe about my feelings for Bella, I stared out the window and tried to ignore her… unsuccessfully.

I heard Charlie's car pull up the driveway. I was just finishing the very nice dinner I had cooked for him and hoped that would help him be in a better mood and possibly not have a heart attack… maybe?
I heard the door open, "Hi dad, how was work?"
He grunted, "Okay, I sure am hungry now though"
That was good, food would make him happy. "Well, here's your dinner then, I just finished, so it should be nice and warm."
We sat there eating quietly, Charlie from the food in his mouth as he ate his fill and me from contemplating how to approach the subject of Edward's little sleepover.
"So, Charlie, we got our first project for our psychology class," I figured it was better for him to know from the beginning that it was for school, not some random thing, "and it involves us having fake babies and taking care of them at all hours." Charlie had not said anything yet, so I continued.
"Well, we have partners, so it is better to stay at the person's house during the night, so we can take turns getting up to take care of the baby, so I am going to stay at my partner's house for the next few weeks, I will still be here to make you dinner and everything, I just won't sleep here, you're okay with that, right?"
"Oh yeah sure, so who's your partner?" Darn it, I had hoped he would forget about that part and would just assume it was a girl.
"Well, you know, Edward Cullen?" I saw Charlie's face color start to change, deeper and deeper…
"A BOY?!?!?!?!?"
"Well, yes, technically, but I really won't be spending much time with him, I mean, you know, he has a sister and we're sort of becoming friends, so I'll probably spend more time with her, not him or anything, I mean, I don't really know him, so yeah, I'll be spending time with Alice, the girl, and they have a guest bedroom, so I'll be sleeping on my own."
I realized I was blabbing, but I was so nervous, I didn't know what else to do.
"Wait, so you'll be sleeping in your own bedroom and won't be spending much time with the boy?"
"Yes, and it's a class assignment, so I really need to do it to get the full grade." I knew this should convince him, he was very concerned about my grades and college.
"Okay, well I guess you can then, but I want to speak with him and his parents and see the house first, just to make sure you are okay there."
"Thanks dad, don't worry, I know how to handle myself." I felt relieved, it would be minimally embarrassing to have my dad interview them and his reaction was much calmer than I expected.

Everything went very smoothly at our house. Alice talked to Carlisle and Esme and they were perfectly fine with the whole plan and were excited to meet her. They just needed to lay down some ground rules for me.
"So, Edward, just to follow your father's rules, I want to make sure you act appropriately with this girl around. First off, never sleep in the same room, and especially not in the same bed, no kissing her, and try to not hug her, especially where anyone can see, we do not want the press getting word of her staying here, so tell her to try and keep it quiet."
I was sure Bella would have no problem with these guidelines; I hoped everything went just as smoothly at her house.
I realized I was looking forward to seeing her the next day, it made school seem exciting. I went to bed early to make the next day come quicker.
Here's the end of this chapter, I'll update as soon as I can. School's tomorrow and during the weeks I am insanely busy, plus I have club volleyball tryouts next weekend, wish me luck. So, I will update as soon as possible. Reviews will help me update faster.
Also, if there is anything you think would be good to put in this story, let me know because I have a basic plot in my head, but I would like ideas to make it more interesting, funny, romantic, etc.
