'My sister… the Keeper'
"Okay so spill it!" Charly pounced the second we were somewhat alone. I shifted my pack and tried for nonchalant.
"Spill what?" I answered coolly, however my sister knew me far to well for my likings and she just stared at me.
And stared…
And stared…
And stared…
"Dammit Charly! I talked to Alice Cullen today and she asked me to pass a note to Emmett. There! Are you satisfied!" I confessed against my will to my nosey twin. She crossed her arms and didn't even bother to hide her smug expression. Damn Charly and her Jedi mind tricks!
"Very" She replied with that knowing smile {which she knew I absolutely hated!}, "Although I already suspected it had something to with Emmett. You looked… flushed dare I say it radianteven! I felt your after glow half way across campus…"
I glared at my sister and had a smart reply on my tongue, when something over Charly's shoulder caught my eye. Recognizing the new comer I picked up my messager bag and smirked at my twin.
"I am going to be adult about this and not even respond to that childish statement," I looped my arm through Rena's and pulled her away. "Come Rena lets go study for our assignment." Giggling Rena picked up her things as we made our way out of the gym; however I paused before going through the doors. Turning back to Charlotte I administered my parting shot.
"Oh I nearly forgot, I saw Jacob Black on my way here, say hi for me Charly will you?"
Rena and I barely contained our laughter when Charlotte paled suddenly and abruptly cried 'WHAT!' We left her furiously scrambling to find her mirror to see if she was at all presentable. Bwhahaha… I know that was kinda foul of me but it serves her right. She has just as bad {if not worse} for Billy's son as I do for Alice's brother.
"Oh Bernie, you're so mean teasing Charly like that!" Rena scolded playfully as we made our escape towards the lot. I shrugged comically and rolled my eyes heavenwards, "As if she didn't deserve it! What goes around comes around, isn't that what old says goes? Now do you want to be partners or not?" I concluded with an impish grin.
"You mean for Mrs. Viccors assignment? Hell yeah! You know I hate doing readings alone!"
Outside there wasn't many students left hanging around the parking lot was all but bare. Rena was still talking about the class assignment when I saw a familiar jeep in the lot. My heart skipped a beat and I quickly distracted Rena with a question on what scene we should do. All the while I was very much aware of Emmett Cullen, from the corner of my eye I saw him fiddled with his cd case. Waiting no doubt for Rosalie his perfect goddess of a girlfriend.
You know life can be so unfair at times…
The vibration from my cell cut through my melancholy thoughts, and I knew without looking who it was from.
"A text from Charlotte?" Rena guessed, I grinned and said yeah. When I read it I couldn't help but burst out laughing, it read:
[That was NOT Jacob! That was Quil! You sneaky wench! THIS MEANS WAR!]
Being the kind sister I am I let Rena read too, and of course she erupted in to a fit of laughter too. As I was contemplating a reply to Charlotte, Rena seized my arm with a vice grip and hissed in my ear.
"Hey B! don't look now but you-know-who- is looking right at you!" Of course I immediately blushed and became flustered. "Who… who's looking at me?" I stuttered all the while know full well who Rena meant. How could I forget HE was in the parking lot! But I still could help the pray, 'Oh God please don't let it be Emmett, please oh please don't let it be Emmett!'
"Mr. Deep Dimples himself, Emmett Cullen!" Rena declared brightly.
Crap!
So I tried to bluff and cover my way out. "I'm pretty sure its not me he's looking at… just the… just the… the… the forest! Yes! He's looking at the forest! Isn't beautiful! C'mon lets go!"
However Rena ever so skeptical and shook her blonde head, "No I'm pretty sure he's looking over here, hmm maybe I should wave to him…"
Do you realize that damn wench actually turned to do just that! Rena had her hand lifted Miss American pageant style. Naturally I panicked and yanked her arm down; I probably looked like a mad woman.
"Don't you DARE! Jesus you're just as bad as Charlotte!" I whispered harshly. Rena merely giggled then chirped "Too late we really have his attention now! Turn and wave to the dimpled Greek God like a good girl."
I cursed darkly and pinched Rena hard, she deserved it, and I swear she was channeling Charly! I just knew she was.
Another school day passed for Emmett that was pretty uneventful with the exception of teasing Bella; that would never get old for him. At the sound of Rose's ringtone Emmett opened his cell and checked his text.
[I'm going to kill that empathic bastard when I get home! Be out in 20 ~R]
Emmett grinned shaking his head as he replied back to her. Then he flipped through his music for something to listen to, while doing so two girls caught his attention. His eyebrow lifted as he recognized one of them. It was that girl from his AP class; she was reading something from her cell and smiling.
"A text from Charlotte?" the blonde girl next to her asked; to which she nodded and showed the blonde her phone. Emmett watch both of them suddenly laugh and wondered what was so funny. {And who was Charlotte?} Then he remembered earlier in class when she tried to talk to him. She had reminded him so much of Bells at the time he honestly thought it was kinda cute. Emmett recalled the adorable blush and the way she'd stumbled over her words. Human girls are funny creatures Emmett mused to himself.
He came back to himself when he saw that the blonde was staring at him. She was covertly trying to get the other girl attention. Emmett didn't have to see the other girl's face to know she was blushing. He could almost hear the blood rushing up to her cheeks. Suddenly the blonde turned to him and lifted her hand as if she was about to wave.
The AP girl yanked her arm and was whispering something to her friend, however the blonde didn't seem all that put out. In fact she was smiling as if she hadn't a care in the world. Then she said something to make the girl in his class glare in turn before slowly turning in his direction. Emmett raised an eyebrow as both girls waved to him, the chick in his class blushing all the while.
That seriously caught Emmett off guard, but only for a second. Then he found himself returning with a wave and a grin of his own.
'Human girls… they can be cute creatures…' he once again mused to himself. His grin widen as he watched his classmate forcibly drag her friend away.
Yeah… too cute.
The passenger door opened and slammed shut, startled Emmett turned to his angry harpy of a wife.
"Drive" Rosalie commanded, her eyes were dark nearly black Emmett did not even Jasper at all. She was out for blood… Jasper's blood.
"Heh… babe go easy on Jazz okay? Better yet why don't you take some of that anger out on me? I can put it to good use."
Rosalie smirked at her husband then took out her mirror, "Who knows I might take you up on that offer."
Emmett grinned to himself, today started kinda bland, but it sure ended with a bang.
TBC…
