Hey! I find it really amazing that people have put me on alerts and such. So, thank you. I almost screamed when I saw them in my inbox.. and I was at school, so that wouldn't be good :]

Bella's POV

I ended up having a math test last period. Before it started Alice talked to me about the picture and I promised to try and start it tonight. The test was taking everyone a ridiculous amount of time. The dismissal bell rang and I still had a few questions to go and I still needed to check my final answers. About fifteen minutes passed before I handed in my test. I waved goodbye to Alice and walked toward the classroom hosting the detention. When I got there people were already situated in a desk and the teacher looked at me annoyed.

"Late." She said.

"I was taking a test." I said.

"Name?" She asked.

"Isabella Swan."

"Great." She checked off my name and motioned for me to take a seat. The only seats left were in the front of the classroom. I plopped down and hoped that the next two hours would allow me to work on my sketch for Alice.

A moment later a few more people walked in. I decided to just ignore them all. It would go faster without having to avoid attention.

The teacher slammed a dictionary down on her desk to get our attention. "We're about to become best friends for the next two hours. Rules: silence at all times, no food, no phone, no Ipod, you must write an eight sentence paper explaining the reason being here and how you'll help yourself."

Ten minutes later I couldn't stand the "Pssst!" noise coming from the student next to me. I picked my head up from my work and stared at him and then my jaw dropped. It was Edward.

He was smiling softly at me.

"Bella?" He asked. "What are you doing here?"

"I was about to ask the same question to you." I laughed quietly. "I stepped on Newton's foot in gym and tripped him."

"What'd he do?" Edward asked.

"Nothing." I said.

"So you just felt like tripping him?" Edward asked amused.

"No." I said. "No. It was an accident."

"Sure." Edward laughed. I turned to look at the teacher to see if we'd get in trouble, but she was engrossed in a romance novel with a cover of a half-naked man. She looked as if she was going to begin drooling.

"Seriously." I said. "But whatever, why are you here?"

"I went to the bathroom without asking."

"You're such a bad ass." I laughed.

He winked at me and I smiled back.

I quickly looked away and took out a piece of paper and began to write. Less than ten minutes, I was done. I began to notice every detail of every annoying aspect of this classroom. The clock on the wall was ticking, loudly. The person behind me would not stop tapping his pen. The teacher sighed every thirty seconds. Then I noticed Edward had his head on his desk and looked to be trying to sleep. It was… cute.

I took out my sketch pad and began to absently draw what I had in mind for Alice's cover. In the sketch Rosalie was standing in the center wearing one of Alice's designs. I had Jasper in the left back behind her smiling and wearing another one of Alice's designs. I was going to draw myself, but it was harder. It was one thing to have someone draw you, but drawing myself didn't work out. I always drew myself too pretty or too ugly. Rose said I didn't see myself clearly. I'd prove her wrong by drawing myself.

A step away from Rosalie I began to draw my outline.

"Ten minutes." The teacher announced.

I began to notice my surroundings again. People were squirming around now. They were ready to leave. I kicked Edward's chair. He lifted his head from his desk and I tried to stifle a laugh when I saw he rested his head on a paperclip and it was now embedded into his cheek.

"It's four-thirty. Go home." The teacher announced and everyone cheered and began walking out. Edward walked out with me.

"So what were you working on so hard?" Edward asked me.

"Oh." I said. "Just Alice's cover. I get carried away sometimes."

"Can I see it?"

"No."

"What?"

"It's embarrassing. I haven't perfected it yet."

"I bet its fine."

"When it's done."

"Promise?"

"Yeah." I said. Then Edward and my phone's went off at the same time. It was a text from Alice.

"EVERYONE. Diner? With Jazz & me? Five?"

"Jasper goes by Jazz?" Edward asked me as we continued walking.

I laughed. "Nope, only Alice calls him that. It's sort of like the thing Rose and Emmett having going on."

"What would that be?" He asked confused.

"Oh, right." I said. "You came to lunch late. Well, Rosalie is now Rosie and Emmett is Em-baby."

Edward laughed loudly. "Em-baby?"

I shrugged. "It sort of fits."

"Emmett's, like, two hundred pounds of muscle. I don't think he looks like a baby."

"No, but he acts like one sometimes."

"Very true, Bella."

"Ed –" I began, but was cut off by my phone ringing. "Hold on." I said as I took out my phone.

"Alice?" I asked.

"Yes." She answered. "Put me on speaker."

"Okay," I said. "I did."

Edward raised an eyebrow at this.

"Hey Edward!" Alice said.

"How'd you know I was with him?" I asked.

"I just do. But, that's not why I called. Why didn't either of you answer my text?"

"We just got it." Edward said.

"Yeah." I said. "We haven't made it to our cars yet."

"Well, you two are procrastinating. Pick up the pace and get to the diner!"

I hung up on Alice and smiled as I reached my car. "Do you need a lift to your car?" I asked.

"No that's…" He said as it started to snow. "… um, actually."

"Hop in." I laughed.

Alice's POV

The more time I spent with Jasper, the more time I felt cheated out of my high school experience. I had one semester left of school. One and just now did our tiny group of three spread to six and become renewed. So not fair.

Whatever, Jasper and I were at Mythical Diner. He sat next to me as we waited for our friends to show. Emmett was the first one to show up. He went to get a coffee before returning to us.

"I can't believe I never knew of this diner!" Emmett said. "It's the only place where you don't need to use those fancy names!"

Jasper laughed.
"They're not hard, Emmett." I said.

"I bet Jasper has the same difficulty at ordering as I do."

"Sorry," Jasper said to me, "but whenever I go somewhere where I need some fancy name I have Rosalie or Bella order for me."

"It's ridiculous." I said.

"They just try to sound fancy. That's all." Jasper reasoned.

"No." I laughed. "You're silly, I meant, that it's ridiculous you have Rose and Bella order for you. Man it up, Jasper. What if I needed you to pick me up a coffee?"

"I'd have you text it to me?" He said like a question.

I rolled my eyes, but smiled when Jasper kissed my nose.

"My eyes!" Emmett joked covering his face.

"Rosalie picked the perfect name for you!" I laughed at Emmett as Jasper threw a napkin at him.

"Ugh, I'm not a baby!"

"Was that you whining?" Rosalie asked coming into the diner. She had her hair thrown back in a ponytail and had on a loose T-shirt that was stained with grease and jeans.

Emmett's eyes bugged out. Cupid seriously needs to calm down whatever electricity he sent to Emmett at that moment.

"Well?" Rose asked sitting down next to Emmett.

"Nope." Emmett said. "That was me telling some truths."

"He was whining like a baby." I added in and stuck my tongue out at him.

Edward's POV

As she drove me to my car I began looking through her many CDs. She glanced over to me, "Jasper makes me most of those. That's why there's no title or anything."

"What do you like listening to?"

"Anything." She said.

"Really?"

"Basically." She told me as she pulled into the spot next to my car.

"Get in my car." I told her. "I want to show you some music. I'll drive you here after we meet everyone."

"Alright." She said getting out of her car and into the passenger seat of mine.

I took my Ipod out of my backpack and put it in the connector to the car's speakers. I started driving as Weezer began.

"I know Weezer." She rolled her eyes.

"I'm starting off easy."

She laughed at me and picked up my Ipod from where it was resting in-between us. She began scrolling through some things and then clicked.

AC/DC came blaring through the speakers. I raised an eyebrow at her.

"It's your 'Recently Played' play list." She smiled while bopping her head to the beat.

I joined her bopping and halfway through the car trip we began to let loose and become silly. Bella was lip syncing quite embarrassingly and I was too.

I pulled up to the Mythical Diner laughing and Bella put a hand over her heart in mock hurt. We got out and headed for everyone else inside. Why everyone loved this place was beyond me, but they loved it and I would follow them.

The snow was frigid and bitter, but Bella and I ran into the diner and laughed. When we got in she stood on her tippy-toes to get the snow out of my hair. I laughed at her and shook my hair out onto her.

"That's no way to treat a lady!" Alice yelled at us.

Bella ducked her head and went to sit with the group, I shrugged.

After Bella and I got our drinks and Emmett got his third hot chocolate, we were all sitting at a table staring out at the snow.

"I want to make a snow man!" Emmett proclaimed. He always did so it wasn't a surprise to me or Alice, but Bella, Jasper, and Rosalie looked at him with surprised faces.

"Ugh, not another one!" Rosalie said.

"What?" Alice screeched. "Ew, please, tell me Jasper doesn't like to build snowmen!"

"Hey!" Bella and Emmett said.

"You like the snow?" I asked Bella.

She smiled, "Just building snowmen."

"Thank god." Alice said.

"Why?" Jasper asked her.

"Emmett can have someone to drag outside."

"So can Bella." Jasper muttered, but I saw him nudge Bella's leg with his.

She smiled at him and said, "Whatever, me and Emmett will have fun without you killjoys."

"Yeah, you say it, sister!" Emmett said.

"That's a little too far." Bella laughed.

"Hey, everyone." Peter said coming to our table. "I'm afraid we're going to be closing up a little early tonight."

"What? Why? When?" Alice asked.

"Well, the snow is supposed to turn into a blizzard, Alice." Peter said. "I want to get my employees out and get home to my wife before the roads get too icy. I suggest you guys get home soon too."

Peter walked away and Emmett rolled his eyes.

"We can handle a little snow, right?" Emmett asked.

"I'm not afraid of it." Rosalie told him.

"Good," Alice said, "cause I wanted to stop at the grocery store for some drawing supplies."

"I can bring you." Jasper said.

"Wait." I said. "Isn't there some at my house?"

"No." Alice said.

"Well, let's head out, peeps!" Emmett said standing up.

I had Rosalie in my car, she proclaimed she needed an Emmett break. Bella went with Emmett to talk about snowmen. Jasper and Alice went together. We all decided to meet at the school parking lot before departing.

The first words out of Rosalie's mouth were, "You hurt her, I hurt you. Ten times worse."

"Excuse me?" I asked.

"Don't act stupid. I know you're in they're advanced history, Edward. You aren't stupid."

"Rosalie…"

"No, Edward, listen. You may not be with Bella now, but it's going to happen."

"How do you –"

"Alice. Plus, I have my own intuition. Just, listen. Bella's gone through some really tough stuff and I won't let you add on to that list."

"I don't intend to be on some hurt list." I said.

"Good." Rosalie said and smiled, pushing her hair back.

I hopped out of my car at the parking lot. Rosalie was standing next to me and we were in a little circle with Jasper and Alice.

"Where's Emmett?" I asked.

"I don't know." Alice said.

"Maybe he was behind us?" Jasper offered.

"No." Rosalie said. "He drives like a maniac."

"Just like you?" Jasper asked.

"Somewhat." Rosalie smiled.

"Ah!!!" Alice screeched.

"Alice, Alice!" Jasper shouted.

"I just got hit with something!" She yelled.

And before we knew it, so were all of us. Snowballs, courtesy Bella and Emmett were nailing each of us.

Review? :]
