Tyler furrowed his brows as he occasionally turned to glance at Emmett, sitting in the back of the classroom. The teacher purposely sat them in alphabetical order, knowing Crowley would surely not be seated next to Montez.
Tyler couldn't help but shake his head as he watched Emmett text away on his cell phone. He definitely didn't miss the smile stretching across his best friend's face.
Tyler smiled as the bell rang, signaling second period was over. He didn't bother to get up until Emmett made his way to the front of the class.
"Tell Rose I said hi." Tyler said, gaining Emmett's attention.
"How did you know I was talking to her?" Emmett asked, not bothering to look up as he continued to text Rose on his cell phone.
"You've been smiling the entire period. I doubt you would smile like that if you were texting your father." Tyler asserted, leading Emmett out of the classroom.
Emmett shoved his cell phone into his pocket so he could look up and watch where he was going.
"So, Friday you and Ms. Rosalie are going to be walking hand in hand at Central Park." Tyler stated, opening his locker, "That should be interesting. Maybe I should come and just watch you guys from a distance?"
"No." Emmett quickly responded, placing his books inside Tyler's locker, "Absolutely not. Knowing you, you would screw up and do something stupid."
"That kind of hurts!" Tyler exclaimed, placing his hand over his heart, "It's true….but it still hurts."
Up ahead Emmett could see Angela and Ben standing with Lauren outside of the cafeteria.
"Your girlfriend is sitting with us today?" he wondered, as Tyler nodded his head, excitedly.
"Hi Emmett." Lauren greeted, before turning to Tyler, "Hey babe."
Lauren leaned towards her boyfriend and pressed a chaste kiss up against his lips.
"It's going to take me time to get use to the fact that Tyler actually has a girlfriend!" Angela laughed, leading the group into the cafeteria.
Ben held his arm securely around his girlfriend's waist as they approached their usual table.
"So Emmett," Angela started, pulling her food out of her lunch bag, "I heard you have a mystery girlfriend."
"She's not a mystery." Lauren added, opening her water bottle, as she glared at Angela, "She's my best friend."
"When I say mystery, I just mean Ben and I don't know her…so she's a mystery to us." Angela explained, before turning back to face Emmett.
Emmett pulled his cell phone out of his pocket. He pulled the picture of Rose up and smiled.
"Here's a picture of her." Emmett said, handing Ben his cell phone.
"She looks familiar." Ben whispered, passing the cell phone to Angela.
"Well, you don't know her." Lauren spat, rolling her eyes at the boy, "And she lives in New York."
"Ben use to live in New York." Angela added, before looking down at the picture, "She's a cutie Emmett."
"Cutie?" Lauren laughed, shaking her head, "Seriously? My new puppy is a cutie. You're a cutie. My best friend isn't a cutie."
"Yeah, I could have seen her. I use to live in New York." Ben informed, as Angela handed Emmett his cell phone.
"I don't care." Lauren muttered, shrugging her shoulders, "New York is a big state. You could have seen someone who looks like her."
Angela stared at Lauren and scrunched up her face. It didn't make sense to her. Angela bit into her apple before leaning forward.
"What's the big deal?" Angela asked, setting her apple down, "So what if Ben knows your friend?"
Lauren leaned back in her seat, and pushed her blond hair over her shoulder. She didn't feel the need to explain nor defend herself. Angela continued to look at Lauren, waiting for an answer. Lauren quirked her eye brow at Angela as Ben also turned to look at her.
"Look-" Lauren started, before Emmett interrupted her.
"Lauren tell me more about Rose." Emmett said, turning to face her.
Lauren grinned at Angela before turning to face Emmett. He didn't know it, but he saved Lauren from telling Angela off. She hated to be questioned about her family and friends. If she wanted them to know something, she would tell them. Lauren's only hanging out with Angela and Ben, because they're her boyfriend's friends. Not hers. She wanted to make that clear, but Emmett so graciously cut her off.
"Lunch is basically over, so I'll just fill you in on the way to class." Lauren replied, since the two of them had the same third period.
She was thankful that lunch was almost over. If Ben knew Rose, he would put two and two together and tell Emmett. That couldn't happen. She couldn't be the blame for having a part in ending what seems to be a good relationship between Emmett and Rose. Yes, they've only gone on one date, but from the way Rose talks about him and from what Tyler tells her, the date went extremely well.
After Emmett grabbed his books from his locket, she bid farewell to Tyler. She gave him a nice, one-minute lip lock in the hallway. Lauren couldn't help, but smile into the kiss as Angela watched. Ben just rolled his eyes and turned away. It was no secret that he hated PDA, so it amused her to see him squirm.
"Where to begin?" Lauren asked herself, as her and Emmett began heading to class, "Okay Rose comes from wealth."
"Oh because her parents are entrepreneurs?" Emmett wondered, glancing at Lauren with his peripheral vision.
"Huh?" Lauren questioned, stopping him in the hallway.
"Rose said her parents are entrepreneurs…" Emmett trailed off, turning to face her, confusedly.
"Well, yeah." she whispered, proceeding in the direction of the classroom, "I guess you could say that."
Emmett and Lauren entered their third period class. The teacher was currently writing down the warm-up on the marker board.
"What else?" he asked, sliding into his seat.
"She's Italian." Lauren answered, watching Emmett raising his eyebrow, "And she speaks it."
"Interesting." he mumbled, opening his notebook, "And?"
"She has a belly button piercing." she proclaimed, nodding her head while grinning as Emmett turned to face her, "Anything else you want to know, I'm afraid you'll have to ask her yourself."
Emmett couldn't shake the thought of Rosalie having a belly button piercing. He imagined her tone stomach, with a piercing in the lower center. It was no denying that it was hot. Emmett nodded to himself as he pulled out his cell phone, ready to text Rose again.
