An: I dedicate this chapter to .mtitiyu. Thank you for your review. Glad you like it, that goes to all of you. I might update faster if you guys review. Nothing else to say other than I'm sick. So yeah. Have you guys ever felt depressed for no reason? Happening right now, have no idea why. REVIEW. Please?

.xXx.

Somewhere between happy, and total fucking wreck
Feet sometimes on solid ground, sometimes at the edge
You spend your waking moments, simply counting time
Is to give up on your hopes and dreams, to give up on your...

Life for you, has been less than kind
So take a number, stand in line
We've all been sorry, we've all been hurt
But how we survive, is what makes us who we are

Rise Against, Survive

.xXx.

"What class do you have first Bella?" It was ten minutes later and we were walking the dorm hallways (once again I haven't been to college yet, so I don't know what classes you have to take. So just go with me here.) I don't know why, but it felt awkward walking with Edward down the hallway. One, because it felt like we were together. I know crazy right? Two, EVERYONE who passed us stared. Oh yeah, they know Edward. They guys either looked curious or disinterested. The girls on the other hand, looked murderously jealous, like they wanted to rip my throat out. I really don't think that they were going to be nice to me when we start school. I hope they don't start rumors about me already…or at all really.

"Bella. Bella? Hellooo?" Suddenly their was a hand waved in front of my face, snapping me out of my horrible thoughts.

"Huh?" Confusion made my speech.

"I asked you what class you have first."

"Oh. Uhh…" I checked my schedule that was in my back pocket. I grabbed it out of my pocket and opened it up. I had it in my hands and read it... I had math first. Great I hate math.

"Uh, I have math."

"Oh. I have my Med. class first."

"Well the Med. class is on the third floor and my class is on the second floor so…let's go to mine first…if you don't mind."

"Sounds like a plan."

We walked silently to the stairs since they were closer and as we rounded the corner we stopped. Emmett had Rose pinned up against one of the dorm walls. She had her legs wrapped around his waist, one hand on his shoulder and the other hand in his hair. He had both hands under her shirt, one hand on her hip and the other hand slowly traveling up her stomach. Before his hand could reach its planned destination, Edward cleared her throat. They broke apart and were breathing like they had run a twenty mile race and were on the verge of dying. They both turned around to see who had interrupted they're smoking hot make-out session.

"Bella! Edward!" Emmett boomed when he stopped us at the top of the stairs. He grinned." That was you that interrupted us?"

"Yeah." Edward spoke from somewhere beside me.

"I'm glad it was you, because I would have beaten anyone else if they disrupted out make-out session."

I grinned. "That would have been funny to see." I decided to mess with him a little bit. "Would you have beaten me up Emmett?" I asked trying to be innocent and make my eyes go open in feigned shock. It had a positive reaction. I almost laughed out loud.

"No Bella. You are like a sister to me. I couldn't you." His eyes widened at the thought of it and he shuddered. Who knew Emmett was such a softy inside? I decided I teased him enough.

"Emmett I was kidding. I know…actually I had hoped you wouldn't anyways." I flashed him a smile.

"You guys looked like you were really going through you schedules." Edward chuckled. Rose blushed. Oh. My. God! Rose actually blushed. Emmett ignored Edwards comment.

"Hey Edward why did you stop on the second floor if all the medical stuff is on the third floor?"

"Well Emmett, Bella's classes happen to be on this floor."

"Oh" Emmett started then thought for a second. "Well Rose since they are going to be on this floor lets got to the third floor and continue going through our schedules...what do ya say?" Emmett wiggles his eyebrows suggestively at Rose and I laughed as he grabbed her hand and led her to the stairs. I shook my head and faced Edward, but he wasn't there. I looked around and couldn't find him.

"Boo!" Someone breathed in my ear making me jump ten feet into the air. I spun around to see Edward chuckling behind me with his hands crossed across his chest and he had this twinkle in his eye - I swear he did. Maybe it was just humor, but I doubted that. It was something else. I sound a little crazy don't I? Out of nowhere I got a text message at the same time that Edward got one too, from the looks of it.

To: Bella

From: Alice

Hey. How's it going? When you are done looking through you schedule meet us in mine and Bella's dorm (if this is Bella, our dorm) for an emergency meeting. Must be here by three o'clock. No later. Don't. Be. Late. Because if you are then you have to do what we tell you to do. A.K.A. ...Black dare.

~*Alice*~

I looked up and Edward was reading his phone and it looked like she sent that to everyone one of us, because of the way that she did not address to anyone in particular.

"Didcha get that message too." I already knew the answer.

"About the whole 'Black dare' thing. Yes I got that.

"What do you think Alice will make us do?" I said nervously. "And what is 'Black dare'?"

"Well last time that Alice said something like this, Emmett and I didn't believe her threat and we were five minutes late going to pick up Alice, Rose and Jasper from some stupid movie because Emmett was fooling around with something and because we were late, Alice made Emmett and I go streaking down our neighborhood street at midnight. There just happened to be a police going by in his car at that time and we got caught and arrested for public indecency. It was funny at the time...until our parents found out. Emmett and I were grounded for four months without electronics or visitors. We also had to stay in our rooms other than going out for school -we had bathrooms in our rooms. Emmett of course was horribly upset because they took his TV out of his room along with his video games, it was funny. I didn't care if they took my TV and computer because they didn't take my books. So unlike Emmett, I had something to do for four months. He calls them the Black Days. I find it hilarious. So if we don't get there by three o'clock, then who knows what Alice has in store." He glanced at his clock on his phone.

"Holy shit!"

"What?!" I asked shocked. I don't think I've ever heard him curse in front of me like that.

"It's 2:58!"

"Nun-uh?!" I really have a fear that Alice will do another dare that would get us arrested and/or humiliated.

"Yeah it is. Let's go!" He grabbed my hand and we ran towards the stairs and boy were people staring at us. It could have been because we were running, but I knew the main reason was because we were holding hands. Half the people were looking at our hands. People were just staring at us, nudging their friends to look; some of them looked at us with disinterest, most though with disgust and disbelief. Just as we got down the stairs we heard a voice.

"Edward, Edward wait. I want to talk to you. Wait!"

"Oh damn it. Jessica." Edward told me, but we didn't stop. We kept right on running. I thought of something and burst out laughing. Edward looked over at me and smiled.

"What's so funny Bella?"

"Just think about how this looks from afar. I bet you'll laugh."

A perfect crease appeared between his brows.

"I don't understand." He looked perplexed.

"Think about it Edward. Me and you running down the hallway holding hands" I blushed and continued. "We look like we are running from someone and Jessica just happens to be running after us shouting 'Edward, Edward wait. I want to talk to you. Wait!'..." I made my voice sound terribly high pitched. "...do you see where I'm coming from?" It was silent and you could almost see the light bulb click over his head. He started laughing as we rounded the corner. We made it into my and Alice's dorm room as soon as Edwards clock hit 3:01. Shit. I wonder if she would consider us late. Emmett and Rose entered right behind us at 3:02 and Alice and Jasper were sitting on Alice's bed. Alice was sitting between Jasper's lap grinning evilly at the four of us.

"Well, well, well. Look who decided to be late and who has to do a Black Dare." She smiled again.

"Oh, no. Alice I am not doing a Black Dare." Emmett said with his hands up and backing up towards the door he and Rose just came through. Who knew Emmett could be so scared of said pixie. "Not again Alice, please."

She was shaking her head again. "No sort of luck Emmett. I still have to get you back from that dreadful April fools." Alice shuddered and glared daggers at Emmett when he started laughing.

"I've been planning this since that day to get back at you, and I just had and epiphany. That's why I only gave you three minutes to get here."

"So this is what the Black Dare was about all of the sudden? Why make Bella and I suffer then?"

"Why pass up the opportunity to give you Black Dares too?" Edward glared at his sister with such distain. The dorm door banged open all of the sudden and in walked Jessica.

"Edward babe, why didn't you wait for me when I called your name? And more importantly, why were you running down the dorm hallway with this bitch…" She sneered the word while jerking her thumb beside her in my direction "…holding her hands? You know you'll have to disinfect your hands now."

Nobody said anything. "Well?" Jessica demanded.

"Oh. Uhh…" Edward stuttered, but he didn't have to say anything because I almost lost it.

"Jessica is it?" She turned towards me and I didn't wait for an answer before I continued. "You look like a fucking tramp and you might think that Edward is your boy toy candy, but he's not. Get over yourself. For you information, I'm only a bitch when I need to be…now for example. Edward and I were running down the hall because we didn't want to be late to see Alice. I don't know why we were holding hands though" I looked at Edward and smiled, then turned back to the bitch. "We are just friends" I emphasized the word "friends" for Jessica and Edward and believe it or not…myself too. I went on. "So buh-bye bitch, get out of my dorm, your not welcome." I grabbed her arms and pushed her out of the door, slamming it hard behind her. I turned back towards the rest of them and they were looking at me with shock.

"What?" I asked instantly blushing.

"That was amazing." Edward whispered. I blushed even more and whispered back a "thank you."

"No thank you." He said back.

"Well guys, I think that we should have a sleepover tonight." Alice spoke up. Wow, that came out of nowhere. "And I think that everyone should attend. Since it will be our last one for a while since school starts in two days. Also no one will object to this if they know what's good for them." Alice was bouncing with enthusiasm.

"The party/sleepover will be here just so Bella doesn't bail and go and hide in her dorm. The party starts at seven. And since Bella and don't have any food, a shopping trip is in order. Rose is going with us. Edward you can pick out movies and make sure that you at least provide a comedy. Emmett and Jasper you two think of games and stuff we can play. No beer pong and NO VIDEO GAMES!"

"Aww Alice-" Emmett started. Bad idea.

"NO Emmett! You and Jasper will think of games like "never have I ever' and think of questions. Guys go pack because you will be staying in our dorm. Girls…shopping time. Oh and don't think I forgot about the Black Dares. I will tell you what they are tonight, so be prepared. I also have to shop for some stuff to go with the dares. They are bad. I had a year to think of them especially Emmett's. Well, not Bella's, but I still have a good one for you." She pointed at me and winked. I stood there flabbergasted while she walked out the front door with Rose in pursuit. After a minute I regained my thought process and walked outside after her. It was going to be a long year. And no matter how much I tried, I would never understand the working mind of the one and only pixie girl Alice Cullen.

An: ok, sorry I left a cliffy. Also sorry it was so short, I'm putting so much detail in the next chapter I had to cut off there so I could start with the next chapter, because it will be really long and with my studies it will take even longer to put up. But I wanted the party and the details in the next chapter. Also they will tell a little bit about themselves, Bella mostly. Edward will tell Bella his reasons for become a player. She will get another note from "x" and something will happen. Something big. Oh, and before you ask, Alice will tell Bella what Emmett did to her during April fools day to get Alice so pissed. So keep a look out, things will get real interesting in the next chapter. Lots of Love.
