For PHYSICS i got 30/32 (94%) & for CHEMISTRY - 19.5/20 (97%) !!! [& I only lost that half mark because of subscripts, I didn't make some of the numbers and +'s tiny when typing up the example equations in my assignment. Like it was clear what it was meant to be like H20 is water… *shrugs* oh well I'm still bloody god damn f-ing HAPPY! woot woot]

Chapter 10

The week passed quite quickly with the final bell ringing on Friday afternoon, Edward waited outside the gym for Bella. Bella wasted no time and was the first one to leave and be engulfed in Edward's arms.

"Hey gorgeous! How was gym?" Edward smiled.

"Uhh…pretty good… everyone has learnt by now not to pass the ball to me and Mike made sure to cover my spot as well as his… How was physics?"

"Great! I came first in my assessment, I got FULL MARKS!" Edward proudly exclaimed.

"Whoa, holy crow!! That's incredible, well you get that in every assessment in all your classes. Your amazing Edward…" Bella squealed hugging him tightly before continuing "…Oh that reminds me we have to get started on our Biology assignment."

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about. Are you free this weekend? Because if you are you could come ever to my house and I could introduce you to my family and get started on our assignment."

"Yeah, I'm free all weekend so what time do you want me to come over?"

"I'll come pick you up at 11a.m. Saturday… How about you come over now and I can give you a tour of the house?" Edward smiled down at her, momentarily dazzling her once again.

"Umm…yeah…sure..."

"Sweet! Lets go then."

They walked towards Edwards Volvo, Edwards arm wrapped around her waist. "You didn't bring your truck did you?"

"No, it didn't look like it was going to rain so I just walked."

Edward opened the passenger door for Bella before getting into the drivers seat. He started the engine, backed out and drove on out of the parking lot heading home.

"You know I never hear you talk about your family. Do you have any brother's or sisters?" Bella inquired wanting to know a bit more about his family before she met them tomorrow so that she'd have some idea what to expect.

"Yeah I've got two sisters and two brothers… and two adoptive parents Esme and Carlisle Cullen… they adopted all of us… first me when I was 5 yrs old then the twins Rosalie and Jasper Hale a few years later and were nine at the time then only three years ago they adopted Alice Brandon and Emmett McCarty who are now 17 and 19 years old. Rosalie and Jasper are18 but turning 19 this year, I'm 18 and Alice should be soon as well. Also although we all have different surnames we all refer to ourselves as a Cullen. Like I'm Edward Anthony Masen Cullen."

"Wow, I can't believe you hadn't told me about this earlier… so what happened to your real parents?"

"They died in a factory fire and I had no other family to go to so I was sent to an orphanage. A week later Esme who used to do voluntary work at the orphanage visited and met me for the first time and just couldn't leave me behind so she adopted me, took me home and introduced me to Carlisle. They treated me like I was their own… I can't remember much about my parents but I do remember that my mother was very much like Esme but not as wealthy…

…Rosalie and Jasper's parents abandoned them on the foot steps of a different orphanage when they were just babies and have never known who their real parents are. They grew up there until they were transferred the orphanage , where Esme volunteered at the age of nine when their old orphanage closed down. No one adopted them because they came in two, you couldn't adopt one without the other. They were very quiet and usually kept to themselves but Esme could see they were different, special, they had greatness and all they needed was love and a family so she adopted them.

Alice… Alice can't remember anything of her past, only darkness. Jasper had found her in the forest one afternoon. She was in a very bad state, torn dirty clothes, thin as a stick, dirt covered her face and short-cropped hair. Jasper remembers that day clearly, he said when he found her, she looked on the brink of death but held in her eyes was hope and as if she had known he was coming and had been expecting him, she looked so happy which Jasper thought was strange when he approached to help her. She didn't look a tad bit afraid at all, as if she was positive he was the help she had been waiting for, expecting…

"She didn't speak at first and Jasper brought her home and her eyes held relief, happiness, love and hope. About a week later she looked a lot healthier and she spoke for the first time, to Jasper and he found out her name but she had no knowledge or memory of her past. She told him how she knew that he'd come save her and take her to his loving and caring family. She became more open and energetic, talking to all of us and we instantly grew attached to her. Esme took her down to the orphanage and explained the situation then asked if she could adopt her, the people honestly couldn't care less who the children went to and having another teenage orphan was the last thing they want, no one ever wants to adopt an adolescent…so Esme filled out the adoption papers and Alice officially became Mary Alice Brandon Cullen.

"Not long after we discovered that she could actually see the future but not by will, she just had random but frequent versions where she'd stop everything she'd been doing and seem to being staring off into space. Carlisle's a doctor and he observed this and made notes and asked her about it and although science couldn't explain it, he understood that what was happening was that she was having 'visions', seeing glimpses of the future which would actually happen, whether in a day, minute, week, month or second later.

"I quickly learnt that you 'never bet against Alice'…" Edward explained as he turned onto a dirt path lending into the forest.

"Whoa…" Bella breathed amazed and stunned by all the knowledge she was absorbing.

Edward continued, "…and Emmett, his parent's died from a bear attack while they were out on a picnic. They died trying to protect their 3-year-old son; the father was able to eventually scare the bear off but died shortly after from blood loss. His mother made it and drove them to the hospital although she was seriously injured herself, she died a day later in hospital and Emmett was sent to live with his great aunt Petunia until he was 15 years of age at which she died, three and a half years ago, and he had to go to foster care.

"He made lots of run away attempts but he was always caught by the cops and returned to back to foster care until one night he made the wrong choice of turning down an alley. He was brutally bashed and left for dead when a nearby resident found him and called the ambulance. He was taken to hospital and treated by none other than Dr. Carlisle Cullen. Carlisle was alarmed at the state he was in and soon learnt more about who Emmett was and his background. As Emmett got better and better as the weeks went by, he and Carlisle drew closer and closer to the point were he thought of Emmett like a son. The thought of Emmett be sent back to some foster family he didn't know, scared him so he asked Emmett whether he'd like to be a member of the Cullen family, to be his son… that was the happiest day of his life.

"Because of everything Carlisle and Esme has done for us, we have so much respect for them and try and do the best we can at everything in return, like my grades." By now they were in front of the Cullens household in the wide driveway parked, engine off. Bella was so overwhelmed with all this information she was hearing for the first time to care or even notice that they were there already.

"Oh my gosh… you all have been through so much… I'm so sorry!" Bella replied completely heartfelt, her eyes wide and full of worry.

"It's alright, Bella. It not your fault or any of ours, but what's happened has happened, it's the past. What matters is the future and what it holds for us… Oh and another thing you should know; Alice and Jasper, and Rosalie and Emmett are together, like together, together."

"Like boyfriend/ girlfriend? Is that even legal?"

"Well we're not really related Bella. Plus here in the Cullen household we are all treated like adults and Alice and Emmett were fairly new to the family so she didn't really seem like a sister to Jasper and Emmett didn't really seem like a older brother to Rosalie so they were able to be easily attracted to one another and Esme and Carlisle are all cool with it. It's completely legal…it's fine… not weird, just wait you'll see." Edward reassured

Bella suddenly thought those two names sounded very familiar… 'Rosalie and Emmett…think, think, think… where have I heard them before' Bella thought, trying to remember where she had heard those name before but it just wasn't resurfacing so she let it go for now. She couldn't think of anything with all this new information she's just received.

Bella took that time then to look out the window and realized just at that moment that they had stop moving, "Oh we're here!" Bella announced her sudden realization placing her hand on the door handle about to open it.

"Wait… I just remembered, I should also tell you that Alice has visions sometimes, of the future. They tend to usually happen 90% of the time, but the future isn't set in stone, Bella, the future can always change depending on what we decide. So once a person changes their mind, the vision changes.

So this is why she'll sometimes talk in future tense and be so sure of things or seem to know what and when's something's going to happen. Theirs is no need to worry, you'll get used to it and I'm sure you two will be great friends."

"Whoa… you're really serious. That's so cool… so can everyone in the family see the future like she does?" Bella asked intrigued by her newly learnt knowledge.

Edward chuckled. "Yes I'm serious. No, but Jasper… Jasper is very sensitive to the emotions of people around him, I'm not sure how he does it but he can sense the emotions of others. Emmett is just huge but an internal softy… Rosalie has super snobbiness powers… Esme is super motherly and caring… Carlisle is very charismatic…"

"I'm being serious Edward, except for Alice and Jasper do anyone else have any special ability?"

"Nope…" Edward grinned popping the 'p' at the end.

"What about you?" Bella asked very curious to know more.

"What about me, what?" Edward asked, flashing that intoxicating smile.

"Do you have like a super-natural ability too?"

"Yeah I shot webs from my wrists and climb buildings like a spider..." Edward said, so seriously that one would probably actually believe him, but in this case Bella knew he was just messing with her.

"I'm serious Edward… "

Edward smiled and over exaggeratedly sighed, "Fine… I'm not a good guy, super hero…"

Bella cut him off "I'm sure you are." She joked since he wouldn't be serious.

Edward faked sadness, "No you're wrong Bella…So, what if I'm not the super hero, what if I'm …the bad guy?"

At this she couldn't help but laugh, "Oh Edward… there is no way you could be the bad guy. You're too sweet and sensitive and funny and…"

Edward chuckled, "Yeah, so true… so I guess I could be a super hero then and you could be my side-kick… oh oh and we could be called TEAM EDWARD da dada daah!!" He stuck out his chest and put is fists on his hips, making a heroic face.

They both burst out laughing. Once they settled down Bella asked, "So do you have any cool extraordinary abilities?"

Edward became serious again, "Yeah. I'm really good at reading people. I can usually tell what they're thinking… with the exception of you… You're very difficult for me to read, you always seem to do the opposite to what I think you're going to do… you constantly surprise me and I love that about you. Gawd I love everything about you!"

Feeling self-conscious Bella asked, "Is there something wrong with me?"

"I tell you I can read minds and you think there is something wrong with you?" Edward chuckled.

Bella didn't respond and just shifted her gaze out the window.

"Bella, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. To me you are perfection no matter what… I love you."

Bella brought her eyes back to his, seeing clearly in his eyes that he meant every word. She reached over and embraced him in her arms, whispering in his ear, "I love you too Edward." And as she said these words she knew they were true, she was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.

Hmmm… I've got two assignment to do; English (yuk!) and Biology (yay!)… but I'll make a promise with you… since 102 have this on alert then it's okay for me to say that if this chapter gets 70 reviews -- just saying whatever: likes, hates, what you want to see happen, grammer (lol), stupidity… WHATEVER I don't care I just like reading what you guys think about what I'm writing -- I will write an update and post it by tomorrow night, but if it doesn't I'll only focus on my English (due next Friday & biology is a big assignment due in June)

wait you know what lets just aim for 70 so it'll be 176 reviews! CAN WE DO IT? I THINK WE CAN....

I don't want to sound bitchy, it's just that reviewing only takes 2 seconds and that's all that authors ask of their readers and most can't even do that… that's why I love everyone that does :P… I've written like a total of 200 reviews on other stories…very simple so if you've never written a review it's very easy…

THANK YOU HEAPS GUYS!! :D
