Hello everyone. We are back! I know it's been like over a week since we updated but trust me, you will LOVE this chapter. I LOVE this chapter. Laura and I had our semi formal last Friday night and I worked a 14 hour shift on Saturday. That's right. Fourteen freaking hours. I was ready to shoot myself.
I want to thank all of you for your awesome reviews! I read every single one of them! I loved hearing your thoughts from the movie! I decided to write a response to 5 random reviews so here you are. Mostly I'll pick the ones with questions. So if you have a question I'll answer it at the beginning of the next chapter (which is going to be intense, I can tell you that right now).
MeghanCullen: Hehe I loved that line and I laughed so hard! "Her name is Bella" lmfao. It's so Emmett. Then I love how he is waving in the back with a knife lmfao. Only Emmett.
Sendmeonmyway: I absolutely loved that part. I was clapping my hands and smacking my legs through that whole scene lmfao
Sasusaku74: Oh you know I totally screamed when Carlisle popped up! He looked damn good man! Gah! So sexy! Mmmmm
Jazz Dazzles Me: Yes Rob waved at me!!! I screamed so loud! Haha yeah that line could be for Jasper too. Except it looks like every human stabbed him with a pencil.
Vampires-are-forever: Some of my friends didn't like it either. One friend actually ranted about it for an hour on msn to me after she saw if. I personally loved it and I'm glad you did too!
Thanks for the reviews everyone!
So, has anyone else started culminating yet in school? I seriously hate them. I have my Ancient Civilization and Math this week. Chemistry next week. And I don't even know when my Health Care one is because my teacher wont tell me. Hmph.
If you don't know what culminating is, its like a project/assignment/essay that is worth 15% of your final grade. I don't know what other countries call it but that's what we call it in Ontario.
So yeah, I got yelled at in health care today for no reason what so ever. I hate my teacher so much. As much as I want to be a nurse and everything and health care is a must for the program i am doing. I hate the teacher. But I have to take the class cuz i am doing a Specalist High Skills Major Program for Health Care in grade 12 (next year). Which I will have to travel to a different school for, everyday, for all second semester.
So, time to read guys!
Don't forget to tell me what you think lol

BPOV
By the time Monday morning had come around, Alice and I had everything planned out perfectly. I drove to school that morning with a big smile on my face listening to Mariah Carrie's All I Want for Christmas song. It was December 1st and Christmas music seemed to be the only kind of music assessable through the radio today.
I pulled my car up into a spot close to the doors. I didn't want to have to park near the back, and then be late for class because I had to slip on every patch of ice on the way up. Not to mention I wanted to be first to my car when… you know… happens. I wanted first row seats to the downfall of Edward Anthony Masen.
After putting my books in my locker I made my way to first period English class. A class that I knew I had with Alice.
"Hey Bella," she smiled and patted the empty desk next to her. I smiled and sat down, giving Jess, who I normally sat beside, and gave her a I-will-tell-you-about-it-later look. Jessica arched her eyebrow, but decided not to press the matter, for now at least. Instead she gave me the cold shoulder for the entire class, probably because she was wondering why I was sitting next to the most popular girl in our grade and she wasn't.
"Hi Alice," I said as I placed my books on the desk. "So did you go talk to Edward's parents?" I asked quietly.
"I did!" she exclaimed. "His mom laughed when I told her our plan so I'm pretty sure that means a yes in terms of embarrassing her son!" she said, giggling. I was pretty sure people were giving up weird looks; if they only knew what was about to happen.
"Quiet down Alice, before people start to realize that we are up to something and warn Edward." I whispered, being the paranoid person I always am.
"Oh calm down Bella. There is no way that anyone in this room would tattle on us to Edward and miss out on the hilarity that is insured when you are up to something regarding Edward. Even if someone did tell him, there is not much he can do about it." She said, grinning evilly.
"How are we going to make sure he stays there for at least a couple hours?" I asked, smirking.
"Oh don't worry. I called in a few favors. It seems his friends aren't going to be able help him out today," she grinned.
"Such a shame," I shook my head in fake pity. "Do I even want to know how you got Edward's friends to help us with this?"
"I have my ways; I also do know most of the female population in this school. It seems Edward's friends haven't gotten lucky in a while, no thanks to Edward, so I may have dropped a few names of certain girls who would be thrilled to go out with them," she laughed and shook her head.
"I'm glad to see chivalry still exists," I said sarcastically. "And what do you mean, 'no thanks to Edward'?"
"Oh, I meant that it is hard for them to keep a girl when they are drooling all over their buddy."
The teacher then quieted us down and began class. She prattled on about useless things I already knew, as usual. We just finished reading The Crucible, well; the class just finished reading The Crucible. I finished it two weeks ago and have since reread it twice.
The teacher assigned us a thousand word essay, not that bad, but the class still groaned in protest. The teacher shushed them and continued on with the lesson (major themes in the play).
The class seemed to drag on forever, probably because of my anticipation for third period. When the bell finally rang, I was ready to bolt out of that class at top speed when Alice caught me.
"Ok, so I will give him the pop during the break between second and third period. He is usually whining for someone to go get him a Pepsi from the machine downstairs, and today I will be generous enough to get one for him."
"What if he sees your generosity as suspicious?" I said freaking out again.
"He won't, he won't; I will say I'm thirsty too and run down to get pop for him and anyone else that may want some."
"Ok…" I said unsure.
"Just get to your second period class and leave the rest to me." Alice said firmly, trying to stop me from being all fidgety.
Oh did I mention that Alice was in my third period class, music. She happened to be away the day Edward messed with my phone for baseball practice. So we are having the prank take place there not only because it is ironic that it's the same class room he embarrassed me in, but also because it's the only class where both Alice and I can watch Edwards… end.
I said goodbye to Alice and rushed to my second period class, Math.
I had Jessica again in this class; I went over and took the seat next to her.
"Hey, what was up with first period?" she asked, straight to the point as always.
"Oh, I just needed to discuss something with Alice." I prayed she wouldn't ask anymore questions.
I guess God was playing chess (does God even play chess?) with Moses or something because my prayers went unanswered.
"Discuss what?"
"Stuff, we were…" I struggled to find an excuse, "we were put in a group for a music assignment."
"You both seemed awfully excited for just a music assignment." Jess pressed.
"Oh, yeah I guess we were getting rather into the project" I said, I am a terrible liar.
"You're not acting like yourself," Jess said picking up her text book and flipping to the page we were doing today, making it look to the teacher like she was doing her work.
"I'm just in a good mood today," I giggled uncharacteristically.
"Okay…" she raised an eyebrow but shrugged it off and turned back to talk to Lauren and the other wannabes.
Math finally ended, time for the class I have been anticipating for.
Music, Edward had embarrassed me last week in this very room; oh he will pay dearly for that.
Ms. Merletta opened the doors to class and everyone began to file in. Alice took advantage of the kid who sat next to me being away and sat in his spot.
"Did he drink the whole thing?" I asked, giggling along with Alice.
"The whole bottle," she said with a wide grin on her face.
"We are brilliant," I laughed as she raised a hand to high five her.
"And all so evil," she grinned as she high fived me.
"What the hell are you high fiving my cousin about?" Edward stopped in front of my desk.
"You would like to know wouldn't you? But it's too bad for you since I only tell that kind of thing to my friends," I crossed my arms in front of my chest.
"You two friends? That's a likely story." He said sarcastically.
"I'd shut up or I'll tell everyone about that time when –"
"Whatever" he cut her off; obviously worried about the things she could say. He shot daggers -figuratively of course- at Alice and I before stalking off to his seat.
Ms. Merletta began class and we all went silent. I looked back out of the corner of my eye to see Edward fidgeting in his seat. Too bad Ms. Merletta doesn't let her students leave during class.
Halfway through Ms. Merletta's lecture on the Baroque music era, there were knocks at the door before two police officers entered the classroom and walked over to Edward with a pair of hand cuffs.
"Mr. Edward Masen, you are under arrest."
Edwards POV
I knew that this was going to be a bad day when I woke up to find that someone ate all my frosted flakes, but this is going a bit far.
"Excuse me?" I asked as if I didn't hear them the first time.
"Mr. Edward Masen, you are under arrest for, one, setting Bella Swan's ringtone to 'Prom' by MSI and calling her in class with the intention of humiliating her; Two, for carelessly losing a pair of Alice's most prized shoes. Lastly, for running around the mall as a child asking women what those lumps on their chests were, and why you didn't have them yourself." The police officer said.
I don't think words can describe how confused I am right now.
I saw the second officer walk behind me and ask me to stand up. Normally I would have refused because of how ridiculously stupid these so called "charges" were but in my state of utter shock, I did what he told me.
The police officers walked me out the door and shut it behind us; I could hear the laughter that the class left for after the police left the room. I guess they didn't want to be arrested as well, for laughing or something. Guess they forgot that the door was not sound proof.
Over all the laughter I also heard two shouts of triumph. I recognized the two voices well…
Oh they did not.
I then remembered a serious problem I had to deal with, other than the fact I was being dragged out of the school by a couple of cops of course, a digestive problem.
"Uhh…" I started, "do you think I can pop into the washroom for a quick second?"
"Oh oh! Trying to find a way out are we?! I don't think so!" The cop pulled me forward more violently then before.
Oh shit, no pun intended.
I could feel the stares and here muffled laughter from students as I was escorted out of the school and into a waiting police car. I sat there in my seat trying to hold onto what very, very little dignity I had left at this point.
"Um?" I asked in confusion as I saw the local mall come into view.
"Is there a problem?" one of the officers asked.
"No, well, isn't it that, well, isn't the police station on the other side of town?" I asked in confusion. I would know, I had been there plenty of times to pay for my many speeding tickets.
The officers ignored my question until we were in the mall. I was led past multiple stores where I could see the customers in them giving me strange looks. They were probably questioning why a high school student was being dragged through the mall by two cops. When I looked towards the food court area a large sign and a jail cell caught my attention. I stopped dead in my tracks.
"You have got to be kidding me," I said in a monotone voice. This was not happening.
"Welcome to Jail-N-Bail Mr. Masen."
No they did not.
"As you may know Edward, Jail-N-Bail is a Christmas time fundraiser for the American Cancer Society to buy presents for kids suffering from cancer and can't go home for Christmas. We were called by Ms. Swan and Ms. Cullen to get you to help us with our fundraiser. For the next two hours you will spend your time in the jail cell calling everyone you know to pledge money. If before that two hour limit is up and you manage to raise $500 you will be able to leave. I expect you better start calling people, you look like you have to go to the bathroom."
This is ridiculous. Not only did Bella actually manage to embarrass me in front of the entire class, she is going to embarrass me in front of the whole mall as well? The officers put me into the jail cell and I looked around. There were two other guys in there, laughing while calling their friends and family.
I groaned and walked over to a phone they had set up. I picked up the phone book and started to call around, literally begging for pledges. Luckily I had four pretty rich grandparents.

One Hundred Dollars.
I have been here for one hour and all I have is one hundred messily dollars. One of my grandmas actually made me explain why I was sent here in the first place. She laughed! She laughed and told me that I should have already known not to get on Alice's bad side. To make matters worse people from my school started filing into the mall to watch me in my moment of torture. I still really had to go to the bathroom.
The icing to top off my spectacular day was seeing Bella and Alice walk into the mall. I watched as the walked over to Starbucks and bought them selves coffee before coming over to me.
"How are you doing there Eddie?" Alice smirked, walking up to the jail cell.
"Like you don't know," I growled at her.
"Oh come on Edward, you should have known not to mess with me, I always win," Alice but her hand on her hip and took a big long sip on her coffee. Were they trying to kill me? My guess: Yes, yes they were.
"You wanna bet?" I raised my eyebrow at her.
"Never bet against Alice," Alice said smartly, in third person.
Bella crossed her arms and stood directly in front of me, a ridiculously huge grin on her face.
"Are you happy I'm in here Swan?"
"Extremely Masen. Come on Alice let's go to the bathroom. I think someone put laxatives in my drink," she grinned wickedly at me.
"Oh wait!" Alice laughed. "We did that to you!"
The two of them just laughed and walked away. Those two conniving lowlifes; that's what they were high- fiving about in music! As much as I hated being locked up in here, I had to admit that this was pretty good revenge.
I stopped standing around and began quickly going through my cell phone calling my friends. It seemed my so called friends had conveniently turned off all of their phones. I knew one group of people that would help get me out of here; my 'fans' as they liked to call themselves.
It turns out I was right. The girls gave me enough money to bring my total till four hundred and eighty dollars with five minutes remaining.
I saw that Bella returned once again, my traitorous cousin following her.
"Oh… I am impressed you gathered this much. You must have really begged on your knees, of course I don't think you even can stand up without making a mess of your pants. Which I'm sure would do wonders for your popularity and all."
"Ok, isn't this enough yet?"
Alice and Bella looked at each other for a moment,
"Nope" they grinned down at me.
I swear to god, when I get out of here…
"But you know… I guess if you ask nicely… I might have some cash in my pocket." Bella teased.
The last thing on this world that I wanted to do was beg her for money; but my stomach made more noises and my stomach pain was getting to the point where it became unbearable.
I swallowed my pride, "Please Bella?" I asked pathetically.
She smiled like she won a million dollars and handed me…
Nineteen dollars.
"Oh please Bella that is not fair!"
"Haven't you heard, life is not fair" she said, faking a sweet smile.
"Come on Bella, please, I have learned my lesson, I promise to not pull another harmful prank on you again. We can stick to glowering at each other from a distance," I proposed in the most serious voice I had ever used. I was dead serious about this. Well, to her I looked dead serious, but as immature as it sounds I had my fingers crossed in my pocket.
"Hnn… but really, where is the fun in that?"
"Uh… I will make a formal apology for the phone incident in front of the music class tomorrow."
She thought about it for a moment,
"How about in front of the whole cafeteria instead?" She grinned evilly.
"Sure, whatever!" I begged dramatically. Cheers for the ninety eight in drama last year.
She huffed and handed me a one dollar bill.
I jumped forward and grabbed the bill running it over to the judge. He nodded, and opened the gate to let me out.
"TOO BAD I HAD MY FINGERS CROSSED BELLA!" I yelled running for my life to the bathrooms. I actually hurdled over tables, chairs, even a toddler.
After I went to the bathroom, which might I add was the best part of my day so far; I walked out only to get slapped by Bella.
"Edward Anthony Masen you're such a jerk!"
Little did we know those 7 words were the start the biggest fight we had ever had.
., ., ., ., ., ., ., ., ., ., ., ., ., ., ., ., ., ., ., .,
There we go! I hoped you liked that! Intense wasn't it? Just wait for the next chapter.
My dad was actually part of the Jail-N-Bail thing when I lived in Edmonton, Alberta. It's for the Canadian Cancer Society, for the kids in the hospital over Christmas. Anyways, His boss called them. They were really good friends. He was brought to the one at West Edmonton Mall. So he got laughed at by Edmontonians plus tourists lol. This happened when I was 9. I went to the mall and saw my dad and started laughing lol.
Just so you all know. That whole thing at the end with Bella giving him 19 dollars and then another dollar ten minutes later happened with me, Laura, and our friend Kevin.
We were sitting at lunch and Kevin wanted 1 dollar to buy a cookie. He already had 75 cents so I gave him 24. He was mad lol. So then he started begging people for a penny but Laura and I got everyone not to give him one. So Laura held up a penny and I took it, threw it across the cafe and he went and got it lol.
PLEASE REVIEW PEOPLE! Thanks!
