As I pulled into the parking lot I saw Rosalie's car only and Emmett leaning against the wall waiting for me. Even before I got out of the Jeep Edward pulled up into the space I had left for him with what I'm guessing was Bella in the passenger's seat. Sighing I didn't want to wait so I hoped over to the other side of the car and Emmett was already there. Smiling I jumped into his arms and he switched his grip so I was cradled against his chest.
'Does she know?' I asked Edward as he and Bella got out of the car and we came around.
"Yes," he answered and Bella gave him a curious look. Wiggling a little I signaled for Emmett to put me down.
"He's answering me," I smirked linking my fingers with Emmett's.
"Oh," She nodded and we walked up to the school.
"Why do you have cars like that at all?" Bellas asked. "If you're looking for privacy?"
"An indulgence," Edward admitted. "We all like to drive fast."
"Figures," she muttered. As we got closer I saw Jessica with wide eyes standing there with what I'm guessing was Bella's jacket. After a simple exchange she walked off and I decided that we should give them some privacy.
"Come on Em," I smiled and tugged on his hand.
"But I want to watch this entertainment," He whined and Edward rolled his eyes while Bella looked embarrassed.
"Emmett McCarty Cullen come on," I pulled on his hand.
"Full name uh oh," He muttered and Bella gave a tiny smile.
'Have fun Eddie,' I smirked.
"Don't call me Eddie," He glared and I could help the giggle as we walked away.
oOo
'This is just frustrating,' I sighed and watched as the birdie flew over the net and I batted it back over to the girl on the other side who missed for the billionth time. I knew that Emmett , my partner, was beyond bored but trying to be polite. Looking over at Edward and Alice I saw that they were just as bored probably even more so.
Thankfully Coach Clapp let us out early, I watched Edward's mood brighten considerably and as he headed towards the math building. Quickly enough we all got to the cafeteria and I went through the line getting a orange and a turkey sandwich and went to sit beside Emmett and Alice.
"Two more days," Alice smiled and I couldn't help but giggle. "What," she pouted, "I didn't have to wait this long for you."
"Oh eww," Emmett grimaced glancing over as Edward.
"What?"
"He just ate human food," he shuddered.
"Oh," I smirked and remembered when I had asked Emmett if he could. Leaning back in my chair I settled into eating my lunch but was slowly being pulled closer to Emmett's side as Rose got angrier from Edward and Bella being so close.
Finally Alice just told her that she knew and she attempted to get up "Easy, Rose" Devan muttered holding her tight to his side. Looking across the table I could tell the Jasper wasn't much happier.
"Must I remind you two that I'm human too and know?" I muttered.
"You're different," Rose growled and I was taken back a little bit. 'How am I different?'
A couple minutes later of being lost in my own thoughts I heard Emmett let out a loud laugh and turned to him, "what?"
"They're talking about my favorite food," He smirked glancing over at Edward and Bella.
"You're such a snoop," I scolded slightly.
oOo
After government Emmett and I caught up with Edward outside of the English building and they entered into a one sided conversation while I was too caught up in what happened at lunch to care.
"So?" I heard Edward urge, "Will you help me do it?"
"But why?"
"C'mon Emmett. Why not?" Not personally caring I walked around them and sat in my seat as they continued to talk. Glancing up at them I watched as they walked to their seats and turned to each other.
"So," Emmett started a little louder volume that what he would normally speak at. "Did you ask Angela Weber out yet?" Catching on quick enough I smiled and turned my attention to the front.
"No."
"Why not? Are you chicken?"
"No. I heard that she was interested in someone else."
"You're going to let that stop you? Not up for the competition?"
"Look, I guess she really likes this Ben person. I'm not going to convince her otherwise. There are other girls."
"Who?"
"My lab partner said it was some kid named Cheney. I'm not sure I know who he is," Edward stated and I started giggling but turned it into a cough turning the other way.
"Edward," Emmett muttered and I glanced over just to see Edward turn around.
"Oh," He muttered back, "huh," he said a bit arrogantly.
"Didn't you say she was taking Yorkie to the dance, though?"
"That was a group decision apparenty. Angela's shy. If B- well, if that guy doesn't have the nerve to ask her out, she'd never ask him."
"You like shy girls," Emmett said and I could hear the smirk.
"Exactly, maybe Angela will get tired of waiting. Maybe I'll ask her to prom." Reaching out I smacked Emmett's shoulder for teasing Edward but he caught my hand holding it. Smiling I just shook my head as Mrs. Goff entered the room.
oOo
"Rose?" I poked my head in the garage where she had been spending most of her time lately.
"What?" she growled.
"I was wondering if we could talk," I murmured and I heard her sigh before sliding out from underneath her car.
"What Piper," she got up leaning against the bench.
"Why am I different from Bella?"
"Because I know what you've been through. When I looked at you I saw myself all those years ago. I was barely able to move on and I got my revenge, so I thought that if you could get over it with Emmett I wouldn't oppose it." She said then looked over at me, "Plus I don't really like the girl and I don't see why Edward does either and she's more dangerous to this family than you are. You can see how much it pains him to be around her while with Emmett it's not as hard."
"But Rose that's not really fair to her," I frowned.
"I don't really care about her Piper," She shrugged.
"But you care about Edward," I bit my lip. "She makes him happy, happier than I've seen him in the months I've been here and I'm guessing he's been like this for awhile."
"I don't like her Piper," she glared.
"Fine," I sighed, "I give up."
"Thank you," she gave a curt nod.
"Just please don't like kill her or something," I frowned.
"I'm not going to kill her," she sighed and got back down under her car. Shaking my head I went back inside to finish watching the movie Alice had put on.
oOo
That Friday Edward once again was sitting with Bella and I noticed that Alice was a lot happier than she normally would be which is saying something for Alice. Glancing over at the two I saw Bella's eyes trail over to us. Looking around the table I saw Rose glaring hard at the girl but she quickly relented and I looked back over at the table to see Bella's eye's wide with fear. Suddenly Alice stood and reached out grabbing my hand, totally confused I just followed behind as we walked towards the table to stand behind Edward.
"Alice, Piper," he greeted.
"Edward," We both chirped.
"Alice, Bella- Bella, Alice, and you already know Piper," He introduced them and added the last part a little harshly.
'Yeah so nice thanks,' I scoffed.
"Hello, Bella." Alice greeted holding back her happiness. "It's nice to finally meet you," At that Edward flipped around flashing a dark look at the two of us.
"Hi, Alice," Bella murmured shyly.
"Are you ready?" she asked him about their hunting trip.
"Nearly. I'll meet you in the car." With that she released my hand and walked away.
'Why the hell did I have to come,' I glared at the little pixies back.
"Should I say 'have fun,' or is that the wrong sentiment?" She asked Edward.
"No, 'have fun' works as well as anything," he grinned and I couldn't help the little laugh escape my lips and again he looked up at me as I shrugged.
"She dragged me over here and I'm guessing there's a reason." He turned back around rolling his eyes.
"Have fun, then."
"I'll try, and you try to be safe, please"
"Safe in Forks…what a challenge."
"For you it is a challenge," his jaw hardened. "Promise."
"I promise to try to be safe," she recited. "I'll do the laundry tonight, that ought to be fraught with peril."
"Don't fall in," he mocked.
"I'll do my best." They both rose as I sighed softly so it was only heard by Edward.
"I'll see you tomorrow," she sighed.
"It seems like a long time to you, doesn't it?" He said and she nodded. "I'll be there in the morning."
'I'm going to kill Alice,' I groaned inwardly.
Especially when Edward reached over the table but was surprised when he turned and looked at me worried, "you know what to do?"
"Yes Edward," I smirked then added in thought, 'and I tried last weekend it's hard she trips on flat surfaces.' He chuckled slightly and nodded before walking away.
"So Piper," Bella added a bit hesitantly.
"Yup?" I smiled
"He'll be fine right…I mean he won't get hurt right?"
"Oh God no," I smiled and we sat down again. "Plus Edward is the fastest if that helps," I smiled.
"Ok good," she gave a tiny smile.
"So I heard that you guys are going out tomorrow?"
"Oh yeah," she nodded a bit nervously.
"Is there something bothering you?" I bit my lip looking over at her and she hesitated before shaking her head no. "I'm glad Edward finally decided to give in, he really likes you Bella."
Just then the bell rang and I got up giving her a slight wave before joining up with Emmett.
