Reminded

"Hey Bella," Emmett said as I shut my locker door. He has a habit of doing that.

"Hey Emmett," we started walking to class. Even though he was a year older than me, we still had our period 2 classes in the same corridor.

"Are you…doing anything this weekend?" Emmett asked nervously.

"First date huh?" I asked.

"Um, Yeah," he still sounded nervous.

"I'm free,"

"Well I was thinking of taking you to Itanliano but I wasn't sure," Itanliano was the best restaurant in town. No doubt it was expensive as well.

"Its not because its expensive, it's just that you said we should take it slow and maybe Itanliano is too much for a first date," Emmett came to a stop. I realised we were outside his classroom. The door was open and all who were inside were looking at us. It's been a week since Emmett and I decided to start dating and since then we have been the hottest topic at school. Jess was very jealous. I reached up and looked over Emmett's shoulder. Some of the people I looked at turned away when they realised I saw them.

"No, Italianois great. Thank you Emmett," I said. Emmett put a smile on his face which I found gorgeous. He was so kind a thoughtful.

"I'll book online today and I'll pick you up at six on Saturday," he said.

"Isn't it funny how everyone says they will pick you up at six?" he laughed. I shook my head and then we hugged. Wolf whistles were coming from his class. Still hugging Emmett, I stuck my finger at them. I walked to biology and Rosalie was sitting up the back.

"So what did Emmett want?" I turned to look at her. How did she know about that?"Jasper sent Alice and me an email saying that Emmett was planning on asking you something after period 1 class. I guess you can call him our personal gossip magazine because you will never tell us anything and Jasper has every class with Emmett and Emmett does tell Jasper everything so yeah. Which is kind of bad not telling your best friends everything," she said.

"Rosalie, are you okay?" I said. I never heard her talk so much. That was Alice's job.

"Yeah, my horoscope said that today, my gift of gab will come,"

"Anyway, I just really don't want to make a huge deal about me and Emmett and I knew that you will find out through Edward or Jasper anyway," I replied. Just then Ms Bowen walked into the class. She was heavily pregnant; Mike, being the suck up that he is, helped her to her seat which was unnecessary.

"Thank you Mike," she thanked him.

"Your welcome Ms Bowen and did I tell you that your hair looks lovely today,"

"Teachers pet," Rosalie mumbled. I turned on my laptop and started searching the net. The good thing about being at the back of the class is that teachers can't tell if you're doing your work or just surfing. Of course we do some of it so when they come around you actually have something to show but when they leave, its back to Google. I opened up my email account. I have four new messages. One from Alice-subject OMG, one from Emmett-subject Date, one from Edward-subject Study date and one from Rosalie-subject WHAT HAPPENED!!! I opened Alice's email.

Hey babe!

So….. What did Emmett say to you? You going out? First date? OMG!

-x-Alice-x-

I didn't bother replying. She could wait until lunch. Next was Emmett's. I had an idea of what it would be about.

Bella,

I booked us in. Saturday at six thirty is our table so yeah………….

Bye

Goofball-Emmett

I laughed at the goofball bit. Rosalie turned to look at me.
"What?" she whispered looking at my screen. No point in hiding it now I thought to myself. She read the e-mail Emmett sent me and then gasped. Ms Bowen looked at us.

"You okay girls?" she asked.

"Yes. Sorry," I replied.

Rosalie tared out a piece of paper from her book and started to write on it. I went back to my Inbox and opened Edwards email. He wanted to organise a study date for Sunday. I looked at the email. Because Emmett and Edward were brothers, Edward was bound to know what Emmett was planning, and then he sends me an email saying he wants a 'study date' the day after we have our first date. It seems a bit suspicious to me. Rosalie passed me a note.

I'm no Alice so I'm not going to make a huge fuss about this but OMG! Congrats!! YOU AND EMMETT!

Oh and by the way, I sent that email forgetting that we had our next class together so please just ignore it :)

Hehehe nice Rosalie. I always knew you where blond!

FYI I AM BLONDE

"Girls, I am a nice teacher and I do let you talk a bit during class, I just don't appreciate note passing," I froze. Ms Bowen was behind us. What she said was true. She was new to the school and probably the nicest teacher on the planet. I knew the rule for not passing and I handed her the note. Rosalie looked at me. She didn't have to say anything; the look on her face said it all.Hello! Ms Bowen will know about you and Emmett!Her eyes were wide open and she was moving her head to Ms Bowen.

"It's fine," I said to her. Rosalie and I weren't paying attention for the rest of the class; we were too busy talking to each other by typing our messages on word. Smart .As Rosalie and I were walking out of class, Ms Bowen called us to have a chat with her. Rosalie looked nervous.

"I'm glad the note didn't have anything about me in it because that is usually a very bad thing for us teachers to receive. I just want you to know that if you ever need to talk about boyfriends or anything, please feel free to come to me. I don't bite and I won't tell your parents if that's an issue," she chuckled; Rosalie and I did too. "Bella, I haven't actually met your mother yet. Would it be okay if I organised an appointment to meet her? I'm sure she's lovely but it just seems like your father is the only one actually getting involved with school," I could feel myself tear up. That hole through my heart re-opened. I tried to speak but I couldn't. Everyone knew that I wasn't I good idea to talk to me about mum but Ms Bowen was new and didn't know.

"Bella, are you okay?" Ms Bowen asked. Rosalie wrapped her arms around me. Ms Bowen realised what was wrong.

"I am so sorry Bella," she said putting her left hand on my shoulder.

"That's... okay," I said. Rosalie wiped a tear that fell from my eye. We turned around a walked outside of the class. We were the last ones out to the tree. I tried to hold in my tears but when I saw Emmett, I let it all out. Edward, Emmett, Jasper and Alice where all quickly by my side. I fell to the ground crying. Rosalie was still holding onto my arm. Everyone was at my level. Emmett gently grabbed me and pulled me into his lap. The hurt of losing my mother came back to me, even though I thought I was over it. When dad talks about mum, I don't break down like this. No one at school has mentioned my mother since after her funeral. I was crying so hard. Emmett hushed me. I could feel Edward rubbing my back. Alice and Rosalie started hugging me as well.

"Give her some space," Emmett said. They quickly got off and a teacher came over.

"What is the matter?" I heard a deep male voice say.

"Family matter," Edward said. I was glad he didn't say anything about my mum.

"Take her to First Aid so she can have a bit of a lay down," he said walking away. I didn't want to move at all. I just wanted to let it all out and just hide. Emmett picked me up and then put me back down into Alice's lap. I was didn't know what he was doing. He let out a yelp of pain. Was I too heavy?

"The arm playing up again?" Edward asked.

"Yeah. Damn this arthritis, seriously I must be the only eighteen year old with arthritis!"

"Not really," Edward said. "There is such thing as 'juvenile rheumatoid arthritis'. Lots of kids have it,"

"Yay! I'm a kid now!" Emmett said sarcastically.

"Hello! Edward, take Bella to First Aid if Emmett can't. Jeez! Alice yelled. I could feel Edward picking me up. I put my arms around his shoulder. Alice and Rosalie followed us. I was put into bed and Alice stayed with me. I put the pillow over my head and cried. Alice got me three boxes of tissues and was giving them to me every five minutes.

"Sorry," I said sniffing my nose, my nose muffled by the pillow.

"Nothing to be sorry about Bella," Alice replied.
