This could not be happening! Once I heard the closet door shut the first time I paid no attention, but I caught a glimpse of Bella walking into the closet as well! A muffled yelp and some shuffling was all I could hear. It was more than what I ever wanted to hear. Bella was in the closet with someone else and I could bet all of my money that it was Edward in there as well.

Jessica had better hurry up and find somebody to end this round of Hide and Seek. Bella and Edward in the closet together!? I am just about half tempted to get out of this space and open the damn door. Edward was such a creep, very weird, and had girls craving his attention. Of course they also craved my attention when he did not satisfy their needs.

I needed to stay put. Maybe it was not Edward in the closet. What if it were Tyler!?

'Seriously Jessica, find someone now!'

My hand slowly moved away from Bella's warm mouth and I felt her body relax just a little bit. What were the odds, Bella and I in a closet? What would the others say when we were found or when we emerged as this round ended.

"Relax Bella, it's me, Edward," I whispered.

"Jeez, you scared me," Bella answered, "Oh man, I'm really sorry. I didn't know you were hiding in here too. I can leav—"

"Don't. We're already in here, so we might as well wait until Jessica finds us or someone else. Just stay still, hold on. Are you comfortable? It's cramped in here, I can move over."

"Edward," her voice nearly choked, "You're fine. I can adjust."

"Nonsense Bella. Here, switch spots with me so you are against the wall and I'll stand in front of you, watch out for the boxes to your left."

Our bodies were pressed tightly together as Edward stood sideways for me to get to where he was previously standing. God he smelled wonderful. I could feel my heart racing and I knew it would not slow down. As long as Edward and I were in this close proximity, my nerves would not settle down. I leaned my back against the cool wall and I felt Edward shift his body a little bit.

"Is that better?" his velvet voice softly asked.

"Yes, are you comfortable?" I hesitated.

"Never better."

He placed his hands on each side, so his body was almost acting as a shield to protect me from the seeker. Edward's feet shifted so his left was touching the side of mine and his right in between my legs. This guy was dangerously close as I felt his warm, minty breath hitting my face.

"Your sister certainly still has a child left inside of her," I broke the silence.

"Yeah I know," Edward laughed, "Always looking to make the most out of situations like these. She swore to me that we would not get caught, so it's better to get the most out of these six hours than writing an essay. But you would not have a problem with that."

"Writing an essay? It's an essay. I enjoy writing prose pieces, fiction, and poems, but not so much for school."

"You are an amazing writer Bella," Edward said as one of his hands touched my arm.

The contact with his skin was electrifying. My body jolted and Edward moved back a little.

"I'm sorry Bella that was out of line. I did not mean to startle you," Edward apologized.

"It's fine," I stuttered.

Part of me wanted Jessica to find us before I ended up doing something that I could regret with Bella in this closet. I was nearly pressing my body against her and when I touched her arm lightly, I felt her body jolt. I was expecting Bella to punch me or something, but instead she nervously laughed it off and I stepped closer to her once more. And the other part of me never wanted Jessica to find us.

"So Edward, you never shared why you were here in Saturday School," Bella whispered.

'Oh crap. I would have guessed she would bring this up. I was the only person who did not explain myself fully. I knew that Bella would not buy the crap that I fed to Mr. Antigua.'

"Well, I am making sure Alice does not sneak out and go on a shopping trip she had been planning," I smiled in the darkness, "I had the feeling she would try and weasel her way out of serving six hours at school on a Saturday."

"Edward," she said in a low voice, "I don't want to hear what you told Mr. Antigua. You can tell me what you did and I won't tell a soul, not even Alice."

I was quiet for a moment. Should I really tell Bella why I was here, at Forks High School, on a Saturday morning when I never received a pink slip to attend such an occasion? She might be freaked out or …

'No Edward. Don't make assumptions.'

Edward had paused when I asked him why he was here in the first place. I really did not buy the crap he fed to Mr. Antigua. I knew Alice and Edward's parents fairly well and I knew that they would not force Edward to be watching over Alice to make sure she would serve her sentence. Perhaps it was something embarrassing or that he did not want to share with everyone. Being in the closet with him scared the crap out of me, but I felt strangely comfortable in his presence.

"Forget it. I did not mean to upset you. I can understand if you don't want others finding out about whatever reason you are here for," I sighed.

And he moved forward even more. His body was only a few inches away from mine. I am sure he could hear my heart pounding rapidly against my chest. This was embarrassing. Edward's breath was sweetly harsh against my face. I felt like I was going to faint.

"You're flustered Bella," Edward said against my ear, "Relax. I can hear your heart fluttering."

Now I was really red but he could not see it. He was reaching into his pocket and he pulled out something. One of his hands left the wall and he held the object in his hand. It was his cell phone, which he opened up and let some light into the closet. It made his eyes shine brightly and I saw the smirk across his face.

"I think you look cute when you blush Bella," he smiled at me.

'I think I forgot how to breathe.'

It had been a few minutes of me prancing around the library and I could not find anyone! I don't know if I was trying hard enough, but I could not find anyone. Lauren had her head down on the table and it looked like she was texting on her phone. I paid no mind to her; she did not deserve attention from anyone.

'Seriously, where was everyone hiding?'

I wandered around the library and found myself in the teacher's lounge. I totally needed something to snack on and an iced tea. Thankfully the drink machine was stocked. Reaching into my pocket, I pulled out a few dollar bills and got what I needed.

'Hide and Seek can wait. I'm hungry.'

Bella's eyes were twinkling as the dim light from my cell phone. She looked speechless.

"Bella? Are you okay?" I whispered.

Her eyes locked onto mine, "Nev—never better."

"You're trembling."

"Jessica still has not seemed to have found anyone yet," Bella whispered, changing the subject.

She was avoiding talking about her physical reactions with me around. But Bella was still difficult to read. I wanted to know what she was thinking about, the way she was looking at me. I could not get a feeling of what she was thinking about.

"Bella, what's on your mind?" I asked as my hand cupped her chin to look up at me.

Her breathing became rapid and her eyes went wild. I moved my face closer to hers when she closed to her eyes.

"Nothi—nothing," she stammered, trying to pull back.

I smiled, "Bella, you can tell me. What's wrong?"

She took a deep breath and opened her eyes. The pink tint returned to her cheeks.

"I-I-I can't stop stuttering," she nervously giggled and I leaned in closer, "But, ugh you must think I'm crazy."

"Why would you say that?" I cocked my head slightly to the side.

"You're doing it …"

"And may I ask what I am doing?"

"You're dazzling me Edward Cullen."

First of all, why was I being so forward with Edward Cullen? I rarely ever talked to him and when I did, I usually would get all nervous and fidgety. Apparently he has noticed this in our short time together in the closet.

'Where is Jessica?'

Second, why did he have to be so god damn charming? Even when we are hiding in this closet together for a game.

Third, why did I find myself inching a little closer to him and wanting to? Not just unconsciously getting closer, but making myself.

I turned my head for a brief second and his hand touched my chin to face him again. My face was hot.

"Bella, I'd like t—" Edward began to say.

There were voices outside and I froze as Edward moved his mouth and it lingered above my lips. I wanted to kiss him but I could not get myself to move forward. The screen on his cell phone flashed and his eyes shifted downward to the screen. As soon as he closed his phone and placed it back in his pocket, the door to the closet was flung open.

I saw this coming and I wanted to tell Bella what I predicted would happen. But I was scared that I might have freaked her out and she would have found another place to hide. Better to not mess with the future and let nature take its course. Jessica eventually found me, only because I made myself more obvious. I managed to wedge myself in between a tight space, but since she had taken forever and my legs were cramping, I moved my hiding spot. Within a minute of moving she found me.

Once everyone else had come out of their hiding spots, we noticed a certain Bella and Edward were missing. Mike mentioned something about the closet and I ran over there immediately. My cell phone was in my hand and in record timing, I texted Edward.

I opened the door and saw my brother from behind. He let out a groan and stepped backwards with Bella in his arms, helping her out of the closet.

I swore that I saw an image of Mike leaping onto Edward, but that cleared my head. Mike was standing behind me and I heard him grunt at the sight of Bella and Edward walking out of the closet.

"You guys, you know we were playing Hide and Seek," I giggled, "Not Seven Minutes in Heaven!"
