A/N: You guys have no idea how happy I am! I got 18 reviews last chapter, which is monumental for me. It means the world to me when I see that people like what I write. Plus, the reviews were hilarious! I especially liked one reviewer who pointed out that they were pulling a "Hannah Montana." I actually didn't even think of that until she said that, but I can assure you my fellow readers, this will not be like Hannah Montana! I realize that last chapter was short, so this chapter is going to be extra long, and hopefully it will answer all your questions.
Previously…
"E-Ed-Edward?" I stuttered, thinking I must be dreaming.
"The one and only," he grinned.
Sweet baby Jesus…
I was shocked. Mouth open, hands trembling, heart pounding shocked. How in the world was Edward Cullen and his brothers going to my school? My face must have conveyed my emotions, because Edward smirked, grabbed my hand, and pulled me away from the crowd. It was the end of the school day, so he pulled me along to what I guessed to be his car, considering it was the nicest car to ever bless little old Forks. He motioned for me to come join him in the car, and I was forced to oblige, since I had many questions.
"I suppose I have some explaining to do," he chuckled.
I briefly nodded my head. If I tried to speak, I figured I would just make myself look like even more of an idiot. That stuttering before wasn't helping any.
"Where to start, where to start," Edward stroked his chin, pretending to be deep in thought.
"Maybe from the beginning?" I tried to say sarcastically, but it came out more of a squeak.
He chuckled. "Ah Bella…Hey, why aren't you wearing your crutches? It has only been two weeks since the accident!" he said, appalled at my choice to give up the crutches.
I rolled my eyes. "Edward, I surrendered those crutches the moment I was out of your eyesight. I. Do. Not. Need. Them."
Edward didn't look convinced. "I thought you needed them the night you tripped down the flight of stairs, and I think you need them now."
Obviously, Edward wouldn't let this subject go. I decided to change the subject, hoping my sly tactics would make him forget about my "injury."
"So Edward… please explain to me why you are wearing a brown wig and normal clothes that belong to a boy in Forks, not a Hollywood superstar. Oh yeah, and please mention why you are here in Forks at my high school!"
"Fine, fine, I will answer your questions! Do you remember when I told you at the club how lucky you are to be a normal kid who goes to school?"
I nodded my head. I remembered every memory with Edward. Is that unhealthy or what?
"Well, I pulled a few strings with my record company deal to let us go to school. I convinced them that teenagers were losing interest in our band. I said that if my brothers and I went undercover and found out what teenagers like now, we could bring the popularity back up in our band. At first, they weren't too thrilled with the idea. But once my brothers and I told them that we were reconsidering signing with another record label, they practically shoved us to the nearest school. So, for six weeks, I will be known as Eddie Green. Emmett will be Ethan, and Jasper will be Jace. Pretty well thought out, huh?" he grinned.
"Wow. This is…great, though I am surprised you used the name Eddie, considering that is the name I mocked you with when I met you."
He grinned. "That is why I can put up with a name like Eddie. As long as it's you mocking me, I can endure it. You are cute when you make fun of me, since you just end up making fun of yourself."
"I hate you, you know that right?"
"I can only hope you keep on hating me."
"I plan on it."
"You know what's even cuter than you attempting to make fun of me? You being angry at me. It is endearing."
"You are crazy Edward Cullen. But you know what's even crazier? This plan! Won't your fans suddenly wonder why the Cullen brothers just stepped off the face of the earth? Or are you going to have two lives, one as the Cullen brothers and one as the normal Green brothers?
"Well, our tour just ended, so people won't expect much from us anytime soon. We will make an occasional appearance somewhere, maybe go to a Hollywood premiere every few weeks, but we will just be the Green brothers most of the time. As far as our fans are concerned, we are taking a short break to relax."
"Wow. This is a lot to take in. I am sure Alice and Rosalie will be ecstatic. For the last two weeks all they have been talking about is Emmett and Jasper. They really missed them."
"What about you, Bella. Did you miss me?"
I could see the cheeky look on his face, and I really had no idea how to answer this without my cheeks turning bright red. Edward seemed to enjoy putting me on the spot. Jerk. Edward's arrival just threw me off track. Even though I told myself I loathed him, I was starting to feel… a tiny, practically microscopic, attraction… to him. And I hated myself for feeling that way, because there was no possible way Edward returned the feelings, and he was a freaking superstar, so he was off limits! His brothers cared about Alice and Rose enough to put their career on hold, and I was happy for them, but my instincts told me that Edward did not want to see me again. He just went with his brothers to be supportive and take a break. That was it. Edward and I were from two different worlds. And these worlds were not meant to collide.
"Tic tok, I don't have all day," Edward snickered, another one of his annoying, yet somehow charming, traits. Is it possible to like and detest a person at the same time? Because that's how I felt with Edward. He bugged the heck out of me, but he also made my insides feel tingly and my heart race.
"Um, well, I missed not hearing you make inappropriate, jack ass, comments to me."
"So that is all you missed?" he asked, purposely batting his long eyelashes at me.
I gulped. Flirty Edward was very intimidating. And a tiny bit depressing to me, because I knew it was just an act. Edward was the guy who gets the girls. The guy that played with girls' hearts and did not care when one broke. But I wasn't the girl who gets the guys. I had little dating experience, and I was secretly a romantic; I wanted the fairytale ending like all girls. And I couldn't handle an unpredictable guy like Edward taking my heart, because that would make me vulnerable to get hurt.
Finally I said, "Yup, that's it. Sorry popstar."
Edward sat in his fancy Volvo seat looking amused, like he knew that my mind was thinking other thoughts. Creepy…
"Edward, I have a question for you," I continued.
"Yes?" he asked. "Are you going to ask me if I am single? Because I already told that I am. There is no need to keep asking me that sweetheart," he teased.
I gritted my teeth in annoyance, yet I felt a spark of pleasure course through my body when Edward said sweetheart. "No!" I practically yelled. "That is not my question! My question is how are your brothers allowed to go school? If you are eighteen, and your brothers are older, right? Which would mean that they aren't allowed here at Forks."
"You think of everything, don't you? And to answer your question, my brothers and I are all the same age, and we aren't triplets. And before you start asking any more questions, it is because Jasper and Emmett were adopted. When I was one year old, my mom found a one year old Emmett on the side of the road. His parents abandoned him and left him in the streets, and my mom fell in love with him, so she adopted him. Emmett and I became brothers and best friends. When we were three, Emmett and I were at a park with our mom. We saw fire trucks speed down the roads, and we could smell smoke in the air. It turned out a house caught on fire, and Jasper's mom and dad were in that house. Jasper's parents died in the fire, and three year old Jasper was alive from being in the backyard playing on his swing set when it happened. My mom adopted him too. Soon enough, the three of us were inseparable. So, even though we are not biological brothers, we are brothers in the heart. I have been growing up with them for as long as I can remember."
"Your mom is a kind person. And thanks for sharing that with me Edward."
He nodded his head. Maybe Edward wasn't quite like the player I pictured him to be. I had a feeling Edward didn't open up to just anyone, kind of like me. I guess we weren't as completely different as I thought.
"Woah, where are we going?" I asked, suddenly aware that I was in the front seat of Edward's car, and we were moving. Fast, I might add. How did I miss him driving off from the school parking lot ? Was I really that caught up in talking with Edward?
"You will see," he said ominously.
"But what about Alice and Rose? They are probably wondering where I am and why I suddenly disappeared."
"You worry so much," he smirked. "Emmett and Jasper are explaining to them what I just told you."
"Excuse me for caring about my friends!" I muttered.
"So. Don't you want to know how my first day of school went?"
"I suppose. How did it go? Any uncivilized women throw themselves at you?"
"Not the one I want to," he murmured, talking to himself more than to me, so I wasn't sure if I heard him correctly.
"Well, today was a very interesting day," he said. "But I am sure it will be much more interesting tomorrow."
"And why is that?"
"Because…" he said. "I changed my schedule to match yours! It is amazing how easy that secretary Mrs. Cope is to flatter. Isn't this wonderful?" he said, amused. "For six whole weeks, we will have every class together!"
My mouth dropped. Six weeks of Edward? Nonstop? I wasn't sure how to feel about that. The angel on my shoulder was telling me, "Edward is a horrible jerk! You should feel disgusted to even be talking to him! Get away now- he will just hurt you!"
But the little red-horned devil perched on my shoulder was saying, "Edward is honest and not to mention sexy as hell. It is only six weeks. What could happen? Just give him a chance Bella! "
I chose to listen to the devil.
