A/N: Hey guys, I know I keep apologizing for being late with my updates, but like every other author on fanfiction, it's difficult to find the time to write stories, balance school and grades at the same time. Also, It took me a while to connect all of my ideas in this chapter so that it could make sense. Hope you like it and won't be disappointed. Basically, this is where everything starts.
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight.
Chapter 3. Here for what now?
(EDWARD POV):
Well, I can't say that I am disappointed. This had to be the funniest day of my life! Plus having Emmett here makes it even funnier. Yet, I'm still pissed anyway. I can't believe I have to spend hours in this crap hole of a room with a bunch of people I barely know, or barely stand. Still, like I said before, Emmett makes things a comedy act.
"So, I guess we're stuck here." I said, trying to make things less awkward.
"No shit, Sherlock. He even put locks on door. That proves that he thinks were animals." Whitlock answered back with an obvious tone.
"Well, when you have McCarthy somewhere with you, it's better if you take precaution." I smirked.
"Hey!" Emmett pouted. "At least I know how to have fun."
"Oh! So ruining someone's proposal is enough fun for you?!" Brandon cut in to the conversation.
"Trust me; no one wants to spend the rest of their lives with someone like Principal Nortz. Ain't I right, babe?" Once again, Emmett put his arm around Rosalie's shoulder. Doesn't that guy ever learn? I shook my head.
"So...What now?" I asked, trying to come up with something.
"Well, I don't know what you guys are going to do, but I'm going to go see if there is any way we can get out through the door." Emmett mentioned and got up from his seat.
"Is he really that thick? He knows that there is no way we can go through that door. Right?" Alice asked me.
I shrugged my shoulders. "That's Emmet." I simply answered. This time, when Emmett wasn't sitting in his seat anymore, I took advantage of that fact by sitting right next to the beautiful woman myself. But what shocked me was that she didn't even acknowledge my presence. She only kept on staring at the book in her hands. Usually, girls would do anything to be near me. I guess she's different than other girls, and not only by beauty.
McCarthy came back from the door, and surprisingly, didn't care about the sitting arrangements. I bet it's because he still gets to sit right next to Rosalie.
"So, let me guess... no way out." Alice answered as it is the most obvious thing in the world.
He shook his head in agreement but kept the smirk plastered on his face. It started to get annoying
"What are you smirking at, McCarthy?" I asked and sighed with frustration.
Emmett put his hands up in surrender. "Nothing...just wondering why the hell the head cheerleader and the football captain would be in a place like detention? Only curious." Whitlock chuckled at his question.
"Shut it, McCarthy, or I'll bite you again." Rosalie menaced.
"Is that a threat or a promise?" Emmett wiggled his eyebrow suggestively. Rosalie smacked his arm. "You're impossible." She muttered.
"And you just won't admit that you are attracted to me. Go on, say it, I won't think any less of you, sweetheart." Okay, now this was seriously bugging the hell out of me.
"We get it, that's enough, McCarthy." I repeated.
"Why, Masen? Afraid your girlfriend would get snatched by someone else?" He teased.
I scoffed at that comment. Not in a million years. "Oh please do. Rosalie over here is anything but my girlfriend. She wishes, though. She's mad at the fact that she's the only girl I haven't dated in this retched school."
I looked over at Rosalie, and saw that she had a smile pulling at her lips. What is she up to?
"Sure I am. Did you already forget the other two ladies present here?" Rosalie motioned to the brunette and Brandon.
"No, I haven't, but thanks for saying it anyway." I turned to the Goddess next to me and turned on my charm. "Hey beautiful, I'm Edward."
She's still completely ignored me. For a second, I was actually jealous of the book. "Is she always like this?" I asked Jasper. He nodded, so I did the only thing I could do. I grabbed the book from her delicate hands.
"What in the world? Give. It. Back!" She tried to reach for it, but I was still taller and faster than her. I couldn't let her. At least I got her attention.
"How about I give it back as soon as I get you name and number so I know what to call you and how to call you." I bargained. I thought I would get her to give up, but this chick still held down her ground.
"Easy, my name is Screw You, and as for my number, try dialling 1-800-PISS OFF!" I looked at her big brown eyes, and I felt myself relax, until she pulled her book away. Never thought to live to see the day a girl would charm me for anything.
"Nice going, Bella." Whitlock was reaching for a high-five, but she smacked his head with the book, hard. So her name was Bella. A beautiful name for a girl like her. It rolled off of my tongue easily.
"Go screw a tree, Jasper." She hissed and went to sit in a seat at the corner of the class. The same exact spot where she was when I arrived.
"What's up her butt?" Emmett asked, but he truly sounded like he cared.
"Nothing...nothing." Jasper mumbled.
"I know why." Suddenly, everyone was interested in what Rosalie was about to say. "She thinks she's better than us. That's why she doesn't care. I bet she's on crack." I felt like slapping her! How can she have the nerve to even say that when she doesn't even know anything about her.
"It's nothing like that, bitch! She's just having a rough time. So butt out!" Jasper yelled at full force. That's when I noticed that Bella raised her head up for two seconds and smiled a small smile in gratitude.
"Why is everyone calling me a bitch these days?"
Um... I don't know... maybe because you are!" As soon as those words left Alice's mouth, all the guys started to laugh. I can tell you this; the girl has courage if she can stand up to Rosalie Hale like that.
"If I was you, I would shut my mouth Brandon. You should know what's good for you." Rosalie snarled in her direction.
"Oh yeah...try me."
"Well, we don't really want your mother to know about a certain shopping trip. Do we?"
"How did you know about that?" Alice's face paled at each word Rosalie spoke. If people knew the reason why Alice is afraid of getting in trouble, it's because they really know her mother.
"Oh, that's not the point, I have sources."
"I can't believe you blackmail people! That's just cruel." Alice slumped into her seat. Cruel? That's not even close to what Rosalie really is.
"Then you don't know me that well."
"Like we didn't already know that." Whitlock smirked. It's weird how the only people that despise Rosalie so much ended up in the same place, ganging her up. This is too good to be true.
"Just mind your own business dumbass." She sneered and started fumbling with her hair and nails.
"Gladly."
That's when the boredom begun.
**************************************************************
(JASPER POV) :
30 minutes, 59 seconds, 0.98 milliseconds later and we're still stuck in school on a freaking Saturday.
Wait, make that 31 minutes now.
God, even I thought I was pathetic with what we were all currently doing now. I was counting every passing second, Bella is reading her book for a second time; Hale is too busy chewing her bubblegum and eyeing McCarthy, Masen glances at Bella ever so often, Brandon hasn't even blinked while glaring at the blackboard in front of her and McCarthy...To tell you the truth, no one knew what he was exactly doing. All I knew was that he moved desks around the room and searched for anything with a sharp end.
What goes through that guy's head, I have no clue.
"I DID IT! Sweet Victory is MINE!" McCarthy yelled out with his booming voice.
"Shush! Can you keep it down? What if Principal Norton heard you." Alice hissed at Emmett when he was currently doing his victory dance.
"Impossible." Bella muttered now.
"And how would you know?" Hale seeming a little bit irritated.
"Because he left the second he locked the door on us."
"And you wouldn't tell us?" Rosalie screeched.
"Relax, drama queen. She told Emmett, that's why he started his 'mission'." Edward piped in. Of course he noticed that, they guys kept on groping Bella with his eyes.
"And how would you know?" Oooooooooooh Bitch feels like breaking Masen down.
" 'Cuz I pay attention to other people then myself most of the time. Try doing that next time you feel like knowing something." He snapped. For a second there, he looked like he lightly blushed for a sec.
"Who cares if football captain is observant of Swan? I opened the vent. Now let's go while the opportunity is under our noses...well over our noses...whatever. Let's go." Emmett whined like a five year old.
As soon as Emmett said those words, Alice actually hopped out of her seat and eagerly got up on the desks. But not before having Hale at least say something.
"Beauty before Beast, Mary. You should of course know that saying. It applies to you, too." Rosalie sneered in Alice's face before shoving her a little bit, making her fall directly into my arms.
Brandon's eyes locked into mine, and for some strange reason...I couldn't look away. Her grey-ish blue eyes were pulling me in... Until someone had to clear their throats. We both turned our heads to see Emmett grinning.
"Not that I wouldn't love to see two people hook-up and everything, but we need to go." Emmett rushed his words. Alice jumped out of my arms and for some reason...I immediately wanted her back towards me.
What? I shouldn't be thinking like that, right?
"Now, if you all will excuse me..." Rosalie made a jump for it and successfully held on to the corners of the vent and made it in. I guess cheerleading helps.
"Man that girl can jump! I wouldn't mind jumping on her... you know what I mean." Emmett whispered in my ear before I gave him a disapproving look. "Hurry up, dude. Hale's already in the vent system." I urged him to go. I was getting impatient.
"W-wait, are you even going to fit in it?" Alice asked with her small beautiful voice.
McCarthy glared at Alice, but quickly settled for a smirk. The second I was about to ask about the smirk, he jumped up and smashed three feet around the edges of the vent. Everyone gasped.
"What? It's not like this school wasn't cheap to order a thick ceiling." Emmett defended himself and went right in. A good thing the vent was strong enough for his weight. I turned back to the lovely lady at my side and gave her my hand to help her up the desks and onto the vent.
"Your turn my lady." With that line, I was awarded with a cute smile and a 'thank you'.
I looked over to see what Bella and Edward was doing. Poor Masen, that girl is never going to give him the time of day...unless he talks to her about the book.
"Masen." I hissed.
He gave me a look of confusion before I made sign for him to come over. He did as I said.
"Man, are you coming or what?"
"Nah...I'll stick around." He looked at Bella for a second then returned to me.
"Buddy, if it's because of Bella then you might as well give up. That girl is s.t.u.b.o.r.n." I advised him. Plus, I'm sure that Bella wouldn't want a relationship now. Not after what happened in the past.
"Well, she isn't the only one."
I sighed and gave up. "Fine, just don't do anything stupid, 'cuz I know your reputation. If you really want to make a break-through, then talk about the damn book she's reading, the Romeo and Juliette shit she likes so much. I doubt you're going to get what she says anyways."
"Whatever man. Just get back to everyone else. I'll maybe join later." Masen returned to his seat and I made my way in the vent, but only to see everyone was there waiting for me.
"Now if your bro-mance with Eddie is done, how about we get the heck out here." I looked over to McCarthy and laughed my ass off. And you would have done the same if you saw how he was squished between the metal tiles. I really couldn't blame, there was only enough space to crawl without having anyone beside you. It was hilarious. Soon, Brandon and Hale joined in. The laughter quieted down thought because Emmett turned his face towards me and gave me a look that would murder a guy. Even if I knew it might be a joke, I still gulped.
Come on, Jasper! Stop being a wimp. Man up. I mentally yelled at myself.
"Okay. If the baboon's done making jokes. Follow me." Hale commended at all of us, yet, no one followed her when she made her way down the vent and turned a corner. Her crawling in that direction was followed by loud scream. McCarthy didn't hesitate to go check it out.
"Em, what happened?" Alice asked me.
"I don't know. But you should know by now that cheerleaders are such drama queens." I answered with true honesty. And I'm not kidding either. I went out on a date with Lauren Mallory once, and she totally was freaky. She complained about the restaurant, the food and her hair. That's why from now on; Bella is going to be approving my dates.
"It's fine; she only saw a dead rat." Emmett told us while crawling back with Hale in front of him.
"I told ya. Cheerleaders freak out for no reason. It's a dead rat, Hale. It's not alive to kill you. I wish." I reassured Alice. But Rosalie still heard us.
"You don't understand. It was a RAT! They're full of diseases. And their red eyes don't help my opinion on them. Also, this one was huge."
"Gu-" Brandon tried to say something but was cut off by me.
"Well it's not my fault you have issues with animals."
"Of course you wouldn't understand. You're a guy. I'm a girl! We hate rats!" Her screech was as loud as ever.
"Peop-"
"That's not true," Emmett help me out. "To be honest, millions of girls aren't scared as hell as you are."
"Well maybe it's because those girls are FREAKS!"
"GUYS!!!" Alice finally yelled which made us snap our heads to her voice.
"WHAT?"
Alice flinched at our voice but still continued what she was going to say. "Um. Not that I wouldn't want to bother you all...but we're stuck...in a vent...not knowing WHERE to go."
"Oh that's it? All you guys have to do is follow me." Everyone's eyes widened at his statement.
"You? Why should we follow you? You'd probably get us lost in here." Damn it! Can't hale just shut the hell up? Her voice is really starting to get annoying.
"If you must really know, I know the whole school's venting system by heart." It took a moment to let it sink in into our brain, but we finally laughed at his statement.
"Nice confession, bro. And I thought Brandon was the nerd in the batch." I joked back. He was still not amused by it, though.
"Whatever. Follow me if you don't want to spend the day here."
Without one more word, we followed him all over the place. All I can say that every corner we crawled to turn and every time we had to restart if Emmett mixed something up weren't easy. At some point, all over our clothes got a small rip and Hale's knees started to bleed because her skin slid through something sharp. Finally, throughout everything we've went through, McCarthy found the opening vent to the cafeteria. Good. I was getting hungry anyways.
"Just out of curiosity, Emmett, why do you know the school's plan by heart?" Brandon's voice chimed.
"Oh, that...well how do you think I pull some of my best pranks? Every single thing that dropped from the ceiling was because of me." He answered with pride in his ton. I do have to admit, Emmett's pranks were always genius. He's basically the reason this school is alive. He lurks in the shadows, as creepy as that sounds.
"So you're the reason a bunch of wasps attacked Mr. Richards classroom last year." I spoke up, remembering the event. Everyone was running around, SCREAMING their heads off. I even saw Mike Newton cry while hiding under a desk. Priceless, I say.
"AND you're the reason some jelly ran down my hair last week!!!" Rosalie fumed. I'm so happy I can't see her face right now.
"Not my fault," McCarthy tried to defend himself at the same time he tried to open up the only way to get out of this cramped up space. "I told Yorkie to pack me a peanut butter sandwich, instead. He is really useless for the job. I should drop him as soon as I get home."
"McCarthy, you'd be delusional if you think I was going to let you go home before I TEAR YOU TO SHREDS!" Rosalie yelled. It was a good thing I was currently looking at Alice's behind to take my mind of Hale's current tantrum.
"I've got an idea for you, Rosalie. What do you say about killing him after he sets us free? So, Emmett, get to work. Oh and, Jasper?" Her voice was sweet as she called out my name.
"Yes"
"If you don't move your eyes away from my ass then I will be forced to ruin your face." She threatened.
How the hell does she know that I was starring at her?
"What are you... psychic?"
"Yes, dumbass, now pick a number." Her voice was dripping with sarcasm as she answered.
"I thought those were mind readers?" I wiggled my eyebrows.
I knew she was about to answer with a smart remark but Emmett cut her off.
"I DID IT! That's twice in one day without using any tools. Now I definitely don't need Yorkie." McCarthy positioned himself to jump out and his landing was followed with a crashing sound.
What did the big lump do now?
Rosalie, Alice and I jumped out as fast as we can but only to be welcomed by the sight of Emmett on the floor right beside a fallen vending machine. No joke. Bottles of pepsi, coca cola and sprite were everywhere.
"Dude, what did you do to the poor machine?" I asked, trying not to laugh and helped him up.
He looked around cheaply. "Well, you know...my jumping was great! My landing...not so much."
"We can see that, you idiot! Who is that stupid to freaking crash into a vending machine? How dumber can you get?" Rosalie yelled over at him.
"What is wrong with you? Seriously, can you at least be nice for a second. You're totally being bitchy right now! I bet you can't be nice for a WHOLE week." Brandon was suddenly in front of Rosalie, glaring with all her might. It was pretty cute.
"What if I take you up on that bet, Brandon? What's in it for me?"
"Easy. When I win, you'll have to quit the cheer squad. If you win...you can use her blackmail over me and tell my mother." I was shocked. Who knew girls were also serious about bets. Usually, it's dressing up into something or break-up with your boyfriend. But these stakes were pretty high.
"Deal. You'll see how it's like to mess with me, Mary. I'll make you wish you never met me." She sneered.
"I already do." Alice smiled happily and ran off to God knows where. Rosalie stood there fuming and ran off as well.
Emmett came over to my side and handed me a coca cola bottle. I gave him a confused look. He shrugged. "Trust me, man. You're going to wish you had something to drink right now. It ain't beer, but it'll do. Things are going to get ugly later."
Suddenly we both heard a door slam loudly that made both of us jump in surprise. I quickly took a sip of my drink.
Yup. Things are going to get ugly.
Hi again. I hope you all liked this chapter, and I know that I used Jasper too much but I felt that I can describe the scene easily in his point of view. Don't worry though; you'll get more of other people's thought in the upcoming chapters. Please review this chapter and tell me what you think of it. I would love to answer and of your questions about the upcoming chapters without revealing too much and I'd love to get comments. :D:D:D
