Truth or Dare
I spent another night with Edward. It was perfect, but maybe that was because Edward is perfect. His flawless shape, the way he moves his body with mine…
Bella, stop thinking about it. If you do, you'll just make yourself want him more. I told myself over again, though I didn't listen. Who could blame me? Edward was quite a catch, and I still didn't believe that he loved me the same way I loved him.
I turned my head to see Edward staring at me. We were in his Volvo heading to school, the others trailing behind us.
"What are you thinking, love." He asked, and he reached over to stroke my cheek.
A shot of electricity went through my body at his touch. "Nothing." I said, looking out the window.
He pulled my face so I was staring at him again. "Love, I know you are lying to me."
I sighed. "I was thinking about you." I leaned over and gave him a kiss, causing the car to swerve off the road a bit. Behind us, a honk escaped Emmett's jeep.
Edward chuckled. "Not one of the best things to do while driving."
"That'll have Emmett going on for months." I groaned, leaning back into my seat.
Edward laughed again. "Not months, love, years." He smiled. "Anyway, today he has something else up his sleeve."
I groaned again. "Truth or Dare." I turned to look at Edward. "Is there anything I need to know before I play?"
Edward nodded once. "Pick Dare."
I blinked. "Why? Don't most people choose Truth?"
"Emmett's Truth questions make it to where you always want to choose Dare. You see, they are a bit…er…explicit about relationships." He reached over and stroked my hand. "Although, that won't be a problem for us…we know how many times we've done it." He chuckled.
"Edward Cullen!" I slapped his shoulder. "You better not pick truth just because we haven't done it as many times as the others."
He stroked my hand again. "I'm just playing around, love." He pulled into the school parking lot, and Emmett parked next to us.
"You know," Emmett said, "they should add a new section to car safety. It belongs right next to the Drinking and Driving rule." He smiled.
"And what might that be, Emmett?" Charlie asked as he joined our little group.
"No Kissing and Driving." He laughed, and Charlie joined him.
I rolled my eyes and went over to Elijah. "I'm sorry I didn't come home last night. Things got a little…complicated." I gave him a sheepish grin.
"Jeez, mom. Will you stop babying me?" He said, throwing his backpack over his shoulder. "May I remind you that I am 90 years old. It's time for you to cut the umbilical cord." He chuckled, and headed to the building. "Besides," He called as he walked, "I'm old enough to understand those…complicated things." While walking off, he tapped his skull, reminding me that he saw what I was thinking.
Edward came over and wrapped his arms around my waist. "He has a very gentle mind; I just wish I was there when he was born."
I grabbed one of Edward's hands, and led him towards the school. "Edward, the past is the past. There is nothing we can do to change it." We walked in silence toward my first period class, hand in hand with Edward. What I didn't expect was Tanya standing at the doorway. When she caught us, her nostrils flared and her eyes were locked on our hands.
I sighed, and Edward chuckled. "I'm sure you can handle that." He said, kissing me once before he left. We still had ten minutes before the bell rang, so I had no idea why he would leave me alone.
Right! I thought to myself, as I headed towards Tanya. He wants us to make amends.
"Tanya." I said, stopping a few feet in front of her.
"Stella." She glared at me.
"Whatever was between you and Edward is gone now, 'kay?" I said. "Now it's me and him, and if you don't like it, get over it."
She growled once. "I don't like it, but I won't get over it. I will get Edward back. Even if it means destroying you." Her face softened up a little bit. "By the way, when Edward gets all mopey about a girl named Bella, you may want him gone, so just leave him to me."
I gave a dark chuckle. "You naïve little girl. I am Bella." I said, and I took a step. "And I'm not that easy to destroy."
"The Volturi might have something to say about your son." She said, motioning behind me. I looked over my shoulder to see Elijah and Quil at it again. "I wonder how they'll take to it." She said, and she left.
-------Lunch-------
I took my seat next to Edward, and Emmett was already there. He was twirling his thumbs, and I could tell he couldn't wait for our game to start. Since I was the last one to sit down, Emmett cleared his throat.
"Okay, folks. Name of the game is Truth or Dare. My truth questions can only be about sexual conquests," he wiggled his eyebrows and looked over to the wolves, "or about other things and dares can range from pranks to set-ups." He looked around the table. "Who's ready to go first?"
Charlie raised his hand. "I'll go, and I pick truth."
"Okay, were you named after Charlie Swan?" Emmett asked, and he glanced briefly at me.
Charlie sighed. "Yeah, a little bit. Jacob had tried to persuade Leah to name one of their kids Charlie, but she wouldn't budge, so he went down the generations. My parents gave in and named me Charlie. I didn't know the significance until Leah told me Bella's story." He cleared his throat. "Now, I'm gonna pick someone." He turned to Rosalie. "Rosalie, truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Have you ever had a bad hair day?" Charlie smirked.
To my surprise, Rosalie didn't get upset. She laughed. "Once. It was my first time hunting, and I wasn't used to it. When I came back home, Edward laughed at me."
"Weren't you a site for sore eyes." Edward mumbled.
"Okay, Jasper, truth or dare?"
"Since you are not Emmett, I feel perfectly safe choosing Truth." Jasper said, leaning back.
"Have you ever used your gift to get revenge anonymously, and when?"
Jasper chuckled. "Yes, I have. Too many times to count, but I can tell you why." He looked over to Alice. "I would always mess with someone's emotions when they flirted with Alice. Not that they knew I was doing it, it still felt good."
Alice laughed. "My over-protective fool." She hung on Jasper. "I can see that your question is for me, ask away."
Jasper smirked. "Is everything you say a lie?"
Alice looked around. "…Yes?" She asked, not really sure what the question was.
"So you are lying now."
"No."
"But you just lied."
Alice shifted. "Stop trying to confuse me! I see that this goes on forever, so I'm just gonna skip ahead. Bella, truth or dare?"
"Truth." I said, wondering what she had up her sleeve.
"Have you dated anyone since Edward left?" She asked, and I immediately regretted the question.
I looked up at Edward to see him staring at me, waiting for my answer. If I could blush, I'm sure my cheeks would be bright red. "No." I whispered. Edward relaxed next to me, and he kissed the top of my head.
"Okay, Bella, pick someone." Alice continued, and she motioned her head towards Emmett.
"Emmett, truth or dare?"
"Truth. I don't care about showing off my sexual conquests." He grinned, throwing an arm around Rosalie.
"Did you even try at last night's game?" I asked, smiling wickedly.
Emmett glared at me. "Of course I did! You used your freaky son to win!"
"Whatever you say, Emmett." I said, throwing my hands up defensively.
"Okay, Elijah, you turn."
"Since you have a very dirty mind, I'm going to choose Dare." Elijah said, crossing his arms.
"Yes, our first dare!" Emmett said. He turned around. "See that girl over there." He pointed at a girl sitting by herself, eating pretzels, and reading a book called The Host.
"Yeah, what about her?" Elijah asked, staring at her.
"I want you to ask her out on a date, and you have to put on a good show. Then you crush her spirits!" Emmett said.
"What if I don't want to?" Elijah said.
"Son, it's wise if you do it." Edward said.
"Fine." Elijah pushed himself up out of the chair. "See you later." He walked over to the girl, and made conversation with her.
"Who is she?" I asked Alice, knowing she would know.
"That's Kendall Leyden. She is in our first and second period class. Her first period teacher is her father, Mr. Leyden. He teaches English, and Kendall gets straight A's."
"Nepotism." Emmett coughed.
"No, it's not. She's really good in English, that's why she reads…a lot. And she's smart in our math class too."
"I feel sorry for her." I said. "I mean, we get her hopes up that a guy likes her, and then he dumps her. That's not right."
Emmett shook his head. "Bella, I'm hoping he won't follow through with it."
I looked at him confused. "What are you talking about?"
"We've seen the way he looks at her." Alice said. "He obviously has a crush on her, and she's the one girl that doesn't hit on him. She never really speaks to him, so he's curious."
"And I figured, something might spark between them. After all, only Edward's child would fall in love with a human." Emmett joked.
I groaned. Our secrets might have a chance of spilling out, and Emmett was the cause. If Kendall found out about us, we would definitely leave.
"Bella." Charlie said, looking in my direction. "There are a couple of things you should know."
"Okay, shoot."
"One, if Eli does fall in love with her, and vice versa, then we'll take them to a bonfire to tell her the secrets. That way, we don't technically tell her, she just finds out." Charlie sighed. "Second, her cousin isn't real big on vampires."
"Who's her cousin?" I thought I knew all of the wolves, and they all seemed friendly enough to us.
"Her cousin is Mitch Uley. Their moms are cousins, but they were really close so they stuck the kids together. Kendall and Mitch got real close, until he transformed. He severed all ties from her, not wanting to harm her. He hates vampires because he can't be with the one person that makes him happy."
"So, Mitch wouldn't be too thrilled if his cousin/best friend was dating a vampire hybrid?" I scratched the back of my head, to seem more human. "Wow, so that's going to be hard to overcome."
"Yes I agree." Edward said, and we all looked at the table to see Elijah and Kendall laughing.

A/N: Big thank you to hufflepuffbrunette247. She came up with the truth or dare questions, and she gave me ideas. (Mitch/Kendall relationship, Kendall/Eli relationship). I don't know where I'd be without you. Oh yeah! Also for her name…and the idea of the book she's reading.
I'm pretty sure the next chapters will contain more Ed and Bell moments, plus some Tanya/Victoria payback.
As always, read and review! (Also a big thank you to all my reviewers!)
