A/N: Hi everyone. Thank you all for your great reviews! I love reading them. I'm so sorry that I haven't been able to update in such a long time! You have Handbags and Gladrags to thank for making sure that this chapter has correct spelling and grammar. Now I won't say anything more; Chapter 9! Love, A.

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, but parts of the plot are mine.

Chapter 9:

The rest of the afternoon and evening past uneventfully. Alice didn't come back home from her shopping trip until just before dinner, and afterwards she had to do some homework she had gotten during the day. I had already finished mine, so I spent the evening with Cynthia. We played with her dolls and laughed a lot. It was sad, since it was our last night together for a while. When Alice had finished her homework all of us (Alice, Jazz and me) put Cynthia to bed. Then Alice and I got ready to go to bed. We just didn't have sleep in mind.

"So Bella. What did Eddie do during basketball practice today?" Alice asked once we were laying in my bed.

"Oh, he came into the locker-room when I just had gotten out of the shower. He said; "I thought you'd like some company in the shower."" I answered with a huge smile on my face.

"He actually said that?" Alice asked, sounding both amused and a little shocked.

"Yes! I think you can understand what a shock I got."

"What did you do? I hope you didn't scream for Jazz."

"No! That wouldn't be so 'cool', would it? I said; "Agrr! You self-absorbed, cocky BASTARD. GET OUT, or I'm swear I'll make sure that you won't ever have kids." He hurried out after that. I think I scared him off."

Alice started giggling uncontrollably. She hugged her stomach and tears were starting to form in her eyes. Her laugh was contagious and soon I was laughing as well.

"He's not used to that I can tell you. Oh, I wish that I could have been there to see his face." Alice managed to say when we had calmed down a little.

"Oh, he was suddenly in a rush to get out." I said with a content smile, it felt good.

Alice laughed again, and she gave me a big hug.

"You go girl!" Alice said, she seemed pleased with herself. "So, how about tomorrow? You know what to do?"

That set off a totally different discussion. The rest of the evening, well night, we talked about how I was going to behave and what I was going to do tomorrow. It was past midnight when both of us fell asleep.

The next morning I woke up by my alarm clock again. I reluctantly sat up and ran my hands through my hair. I looked over at the other side of the bed, Alice was still sleeping deeply. I smiled sadly, it was the last morning for a while that I would wake up with her next to me. I decided to let her sleep a bit longer and got out of the bed. I walked into the bathroom and took a quick shower. When I came back, Alice was still sleeping. I guess even if you are an over energetic pixie, you have to catch up on your sleep at times. I pulled out a robe and walked downstairs to eat some breakfast, Alice needed to sleep. At 7 am I walked back upstairs to wake her up.

"Alice, you have to wake up." I said shaking her a little.

Alice just groaned and turned around in the bed. Hm, this is going to be harder then what I thought. Though, I had some plans. Payback's a bitch.

"Alice, it's 7 am. You won't have time to eat breakfast." I said sweetly.

Alice didn't respond, just sleeping.

"Alice, you won't have time to get dressed."

Still, nothing. That was weird.

"Alice, if you don't get up I will burn your favorite pair of shoes." I said with a determined voice, nothing.

"Mary Alice Brandon, if you don't get up this instant I will have to dress myself. I was thinking the green skirt with the bright pink tunic and a jean vest." I threatened.

That woke her up. She sat up in an instant and glared at me while saying, with a very serious voice;

"BELLA! That doesn't match at all. You can never wear a tunic with a skirt. Do you want to commit fashion-suicide?"

"Good morning to you to Ali." I answered giggling.

Alice took in my appearance and relaxed, I was still wearing a robe. I giggled again and walked to my closet since Alice still hadn't gotten out of bed.

"If you don't want to dress me today it's okay. You know I'll be fine anyways. Now, where is that green skirt?"

Alice jumped out of the bed and ran over to me. She pushed me away from my closet and pointed at a chair.

"Sit!"

I sat down giggling while Alice went through our clothes.

"Bells, since you're going to Eddie-Boy's house today you shouldn't wear anything too flirty. That will make him think you're easy. But on the other hand he has to really want you, and still not get you…ah, this is just what we need." Alice said as she straightened up and turned around to face me.

In her hands were the clothes I was to wear. She held them out to me and said;

"Put it on while I take a quick shower. Then brush your hair."

She danced out of our room with her clothes in her hands, leaving me with a dark blue, v-neck tank top with waist-high white, jean shorts, a couple of cool, gold necklaces and matching bracelets. I brushed my hair and put it up in a high ponytail. I had just finished when Alice came back, all dressed and ready. She was wearing a light summer dress in different shades of pink with a wide white belt in her waist and matching pink high-heels. For most people it was way too dressy for school, but Alice could somehow pull it off.

"You look great Alice!" I said with a smile.

Alice smiled back and twirled around in front of me. I laughed and spun around one time before her.

"You look good too. I wonder who dressed you." Alice said teasingly.

"Hmm, I don't know. You maybe?"

"That's right. Now I have to finish my work, sit down!" She said pointing at the chair again.

I sat down and she put on my make-up before she walked downstairs while I packed up our bags. I grabbed a pair of dark blue ballet flats that I knew Alice would approve of and hurried down to the others.

After breakfast we packed up the things Alice and Cynthia wanted to take back home into Alice's Porsche and drove off to school after a couple of hugs from Charlie. We all knew they would be back soon again, but we were still going to miss them a lot. On our way to school Alice and I sang along with our goodbye song, Home by Westlife. The song symbolized how much we were going to miss each other, and not be happy until Alice and Cynthia lived with us again. Yes, we were overdramatic. We were still going to see each other in school, but it's not the same. We would miss being together all the time.

We got to school in time to drop Cynthia off and run to English. English, Math and Government passed in a blur and soon I was in Music. Music was by far my favorite subject, and I could spend hours by the piano without noticing that the time went by.

"Class, please remember that everyone have to finish their projects by Friday. I want everyone to present what they have composed before the whole class." Susan said as a start of the lesson.

As you guessed, I was in Advanced Music. We composed our own music and wrote our own songs. I loved it very much.

"Now, get to work. I'll be here if you need me." Susan said and the whole class, well the 10 students that had Advanced Music, disappeared into their own bubbles.

I still had Home in my mind, so I started playing it to get it out. Half way through the song Susan came up to me. She waited until I had finished before she said;

"Bella. I f I'm not mistaken, that song already exists. It's not your own composition."

"I know that, Susan. I just needed to get it out of my head to be able to work with mine." I said with a smile.

"By playing it 5 times Bella?" She asked with an amused expression.

"Oh, I wasn't aware of that I had played it that many times." I said and blushed.

"Well, hopefully it's out of your brain now and you can focus on your own song. Or are you finished already?"

"Not yet Susan. I have to do some final touches." I said opening my music-notebook.

"Very well. You better get going then." She turned around and walked away.

"Edward, you have to stop being so interested in what Bella does and start focusing on your own music. Otherwise you'll never finish it." I heard Susan say as I disappeared into my music-bubble.

This time when the lesson ended I was actually one of the first ones to get out of the classroom. I hurried off to the cafeteria because I needed to talk to Jasper about this afternoon. I grabbed a salad, a bag of chips and an apple juice. I walked over to the team's table, and sat down. The cafeteria was almost empty, but it filled up fast. Adam and Jamie were the first two to come.

"Hi Bella!" Jamie said giving me a smile.

"Hi Jamie." I said smiling back.

I stood up and gave Adam a hug and said;

"Hi Adam."

"Hi Bells!" He said with a smile, returning my hug.

We all sat down by the table, Adam next to me playing with my hair. I felt a blush creep up on my cheeks and Adam ran his fingers over it. He was just about to say something when Alice danced up to us with Jasper, Chris and Jacob following close behind.

"Hi Bella!" Alice said with a huge smile on her face.

"Hi Ali." I answered and said Hello to the others.

"Hi sis!" Both Jasper and Chris said.

They sat down next to us and soon we were discussing the new game-plan Coach gave us yesterday. Alice looked board and turned to some of the cheerleaders who had come with the rest of the team. Apparently Abrecombie and Fitch had released a new line of clothes, and Alice hadn't bought them yet. I was so happy I could talk to the guys instead.

Lunch quickly passed and I walked off to Biology and Eddie. I had sopken to Jasper, he had agreed to pick me up when I called. I got into the classroom, and got a shock. Eddie wasn't making out with someone at our desk today.

"Wow, Eddie-Boy without a girl attached to his lips. This is a first!" I said mocking him a little.

"Hello to you too Isabella." Eddie answered with a fake smile, his eyes traveling over my body.

I sat down and turned to Eddie, he was still watching me. Not like he was interested to see what was under the clothes, but as if he wanted to get to know what was under the skin. That was a new feeling for me, so of course I blushed. That caught Eddie's attention, and he looked a little smug. I looked up at the teacher who had started the lesson a while ago, and started playing with my ponytail. When Mr. Banner had finished talking, Eddie started.

"So, what do we have to do to finish this project?" Eddie asked, he looked so lost.

"We only have to draw a few paintings." I answered very sarcastically voice.

"That's it? Good, then we'll have plenty of time to do other things this afternoon."

I just looked at him. He can't be that stupid that he believed me. His smile said that he was, or he was just a very good actor.

"No Lover-Boy, we have to write two more texts about…" I started explaining to him what we had to do, and the smile fell of his face.

The time we had left Eddie actually did some work, I was surprised. But then again, he had good grades already therefore he had to have had something useful in his brain.

"At what time do you want to come to my house today?" Eddie asked on our way out of the classroom.

"Jazz has our car, so could I go with you?" I asked with the same smile I used on teachers, it work well on Eddie to.

"Sure, I'll meet you by my car at the end of next class."

"Good, bring all your things." I said before I hurried off to P.E.

P.E passed quickly and before I knew it I was sitting in Eddie's car, with Eddie next to me. The radio was playing some very loud, very bad music. It didn't seem to have any pace at all, yuck!

"Eddie, your music sucks!" I half screamed to him so he was going to hear me.

Eddie turned down the volume and asked:

"What?"

"Your music sucks!" I stated and turned it off all together.

Eddie just looked at me before looking back at the road, which was good since I didn't want to crash. We drove for a few more minutes in silence before we reached his house, it was beautiful. (A/N: The same house as the Cullen's in Twilight.) I got out of the car and stared in amazement at it. Eddie walked up the front to the front door and opened it.

"Are you coming Isabella? I won't bite, that much." He called out and woke me from my trance-like state.

I walked up to him and got into the house. It was just as beautiful inside, very open and bright. I looked around me and then back at Eddie. He was walking towards the stairs and I followed him up. He walked up to the third floor and into one of the rooms, his room. I walked in to it and stared some more. The back wall was just glass, facing the forest. The other walls were painted in a soft white color, he had a wooden floor with a dark blue rug and a huge king-sized bed. The walls were covered with book shelves, in them were a lot of books and CD's. I nodded my head and took off my shoes. I had decided to play a little with Eddie, as always. I walked over to his bed and sat down with crossed legs in the middle. I looked over at Eddie and asked teasingly:

"Aren't you coming?"

That made him hurry over to me and he threw himself down next to me. He stretched out and patted the spot next to him. I just smiled and asked sweetly:

"How are we gonna do Biology laying down?"

"Oh, I could teach you I thing or two about Biology here." Eddie answered in a husky voice.

"I doubt it." I said with a confidently. "Now sit up and get to work, I don't want to be doing this all day."

Eddie-Boy sat up and he focused on our job. At times, I caught him looking at me. Sometime with lust in his eyes, sometimes with the same expression as before in Biology class today. I pretended that I didn't notice it, I didn't know how to tackle it.

After two and a half hour of intense studying we were finished with more than we needed. I was pleased with our work and gave Eddie an almost real smile. He looked like he was planning something. This might get interesting…

"That's all we needed to do today. We still have a few things to finish, but we can do that in school tomorrow." I said and packed up my things.

Eddie just put his things on the floor and then he leaned over to me. Before I realized what he was about to do, he kissed me. He was a good kisser, I'll give him that. He put me out of focus, and he took advantage of it. His tongue traced my bottom lip and I opened my mouth, meeting it. Then he carefully pushed me back so I was laying down, still kissing me. I liked it a lot, and I just kept kissing him. I wasn't really aware of what I was doing at the time. As Eddie slipped his hand under the hem of my high shorts, and under my top I woke up. What was I doing? This is wrong! I stopped kissing him, and pushed him off me. My breath was ragged, and so was his.

"We can't do this!" I said.

"Why not? My parents and my brother won't be home for hours." Eddie said with a greedy voice.

"I don't want to do this."

"Right, didn't seem that way when you were kissing me."

"I don't do this just like that!" I didn't even need to pretend to be upset with myself when I said it, I was.

I sat up shaking my head.

"Not like this." I said.

"Why not?"

"I don't want to be one of your girls." I said with a great force in my voice. "I'm not like that."

I got off the bed and grabbed my bag. I pulled out my cell and dallied Jasper's number. He answered on the second ring and I said:

"Hey Jazz, can you pick me up? We're done."

While I said it I was looking at Eddie with a hard expression, showing him that I meant it.

"Sure sis'. I'll be there in 15 minutes."

"Great. See you soon." I said and hung up.

I ignored Eddie and started fixing my clothes. I put the top into my shorts again, and straightened them out. I put a hand through my hair, just to find it loose. I didn't even remember when it came out of the ponytail. I pulled it up into a new one, and Eddie handed my scrunchy. I guess that explains what happened.

"Thanks." I said.

"Why don't you want to make-out with me? All the other girls want to." Eddie asked, sounding very confused.

"I said it; I don't want to be one of your girls. I'm not like that. I don't want a onetime thing."

"It doesn't need to be one time." Eddie hinted suggestively.

"Whatever, I want a relationship." I said and walked to the door.

Eddie followed me down the stairs and he seemed to the thinking deeply. Good! I had planted the seed, just as Alice and I had planned.
