Chapter XXI
(Bpov)
I went over Edward's house to help him study for the finals that were coming up before winter break. When I was over there, I told him the two most private things in my life. Things I didn't even tell Rosalie until earlier this year. Well, one of them he guessed. I don't know how he guessed. I must have been clearer about my intentions than I thought. Still, I must be really getting close to him to share the two things with him. I never thought I would consider Edward Cullen a close friend.
Also while I was there, his sister invited me on the family – loosely used – trip. Edward questioned if I was going to go even if Jasper wasn't. Honestly, I was thinking about it when she first asked and when Edward said everyone was going but his girlfriend. I thought it would be fun to get a least one trip with Rosalie and even Alice and Edward before school ends. It was just when Jasper's name was mentioned, my decision became pretty clear.
"I'm home." I called as I walked through my front door after coming back from Edward's house. I think we've gotten pretty far since he stopped me that day in the hall.
My mom walked in the living room. She looked at me and made a disgusted face "Did you wear that to go school and to the Cullen's house?" she asked as I took my jacket off.
I looked down at the teal sweater dress and black leggings Alice brought for me today. She told me she was saving the dress from Friday. Since I told her I changed my mind, she thought we should step it up. "You don't like it?" I asked as I tossed my jacket on the couch.
"Not unless the goal was to make your hips wider." She commented.
I smiled at her. "Thanks for the comment, mom. But I like it." When I decided I wasn't going to be Tanya's punch bag, I also decided I wasn't let my mom tear me down anymore. I wasn't going to let her comments and her remarks make me feel like I'm worthless. I liked the way I look and so did Jasper. If anyone ask me, that was all that matter. Today, he said I look better every day. I don't know if he was flirting or being nice, I haven't been able to tell the difference yet, but it made me happy to hear it.
"Is dinner ready?" I asked her.
She rolled her eyes. "It should be in a few minutes." She said before my dad walked into the room from his office.
"I thought I heard you." He smiled at me. He had dark circles under his eyes. He looked tired. I wondered why since he hasn't worked in two days. Well, he hasn't been to the station, but he was probably working on some paper work in his office. "Hey Bells." He greeted.
"Hi Dad." I replied with a smile as he hugged me.
"Nice dress. It's a nice color for you." He commented before releasing me.
"Thank you."
He looked at his wife. "Is dinner ready yet?" he asked the same thing I did before he walked in.
She gave an annoyed sigh. "You and your daughter." She complained before walking back to the kitchen.
He looked at me. "Did I say something?" he asked, wondering why she got upset. I didn't know. It could be what I told Edward about her grading papers all week. Every year around this time, she seems easily annoyed because of all the paper work she has. Or it might be just the way she is. I'm going to learn not to let it bother me like it use to. She wants to be upset at me and everyone else for no reason, then that was her problem.
A few minutes later, the oven beeped and my mother called Charlie and me. We both got off the couch and walked into the kitchen. When we did there were pork chops and mashed potatoes on the table.
"How was school, Bells?" my dad asked as he put a pork chop on his plate than on mine.
"Good. I finally told Tanya you leave me alone." I said.
"Isn't that the girl you were having problems with?" my dad asked. I nodded. I had to say, I was quite proud of myself for what happened at lunch. I wish I could say I had it all planed out and I wasn't nervous, but both would be a lie. I was just as nervous as the first time, but I choked it back and didn't let it show; at least I try not to. I didn't know how successful I was. When I told Edward what I did in the hall, I didn't have the faintest clue of what I was going to say or do. When the time came, everything just came out.
On the other hand, I don't think I got her completely off my back, but maybe she would think twice before messing with me. It might be asking a lot from her. "Good for you, Bells." My father said.
"Don't tell her something like that. Isabella, why don't you make friends with Edward and his friends instead of fighting with them? I bet you haven't even tried. They can help you, you know." She said. I wondered if she would say something like that if she heard what Tanya had to say to me at the party on Saturday. Knowing my mother, perhaps.
And I didn't have a problem with being friends Edward's other friends. It was his girlfriend I had the problem with. Besides, they have helped me. I'm sure my mom was so busy being wrapped up in herself to even notice.
"She doesn't have to be friends with anyone she doesn't want to." Charlie replied to her.
She laughed. "You obviously don't remember how high school works. That's how one moves up the social ladder. She needs to be friends with cheerleaders and the player to be someone; it doesn't matter if she likes them. All that matters is that they like her." she answered.
I rolled my eyes. She had her way make friends, I had mine. And I think I liked my way much better.
"Are you ready for break?" he asked me, changing the subject. He took a spoonful of his potato and shoveled it in his mouth.
I nodded. I was kind of glad that's what he changed the subject to. It gave me an excuse to bring up the trip. I don't think I would have if I didn't have some kind of excuse or lead way. "Actually, I might have something planned. May I ask something?" I asked them.
"Sure, Bells." My dad said before cutting a piece of his pork chop.
Well, here it goes. "Uh…Edward and his family are going on a trip over winter break. Rosalie, her boyfriend and her brother are going as well. "
"Oh, kinda like a group trip. That sounds fun." My dad said.
I nodded. "Yeah, it should be. Anyways, Alice and Edward think they might have an extra place and asked me to come along. I told them I had to ask you guys before agreeing to go, which is what I'm doing now. So can I go?"
"How long is it?" he asked.
I thought about it. They didn't mention the time length, but I can't imagine it being long than "About a week." I answered.
"Where will all of you be going?"
"To their cabin in New York."
"New York?" he stopped me.
I nodded. "It's more of a ski trip and we're going to their cabin next to some snow mountains."
"I don't think I'm comfortable with you traveling with a bunch of other teenagers cross the country." He said.
"It's not like we're going alone." I told him quickly. I really wanted to go and didn't want any chance of him saying I couldn't.
He looked at me. "Their parents will be going alone too?" He asked. I nodded "And you said Rosalie is going, right?" he asked. I nodded again. "That's good. It would be nice to know at least of them personally." I was sure he knew all of them. I'm guessing he meant actually met and not just knew them by their parents or their records
"Can I go?" I asked again.
"If their parents are going and said it was okay, then I don't see why…"
"Absolutely not." My mom interrupted his answer.
I looked at her. She looked upset. I wouldn't for the life of me be able to guess why. "Why not?"
"Renée. You wanted her to have friends. It sound like she made some and with the people you wanted her to be with. I don't see why-"
She looked at me. "You don't even know how to ski." She pointed out, completely ignoring Charlie.
"No." I agreed. She was right. I've never been. Therefore, I didn't know the first thing about skiing or any other snow activities, besides ice skating. Forks never got too much snow where people could have fun in it. It was mostly just slush and ice. "I mean it would be nice to learn. And Edward said where we're going has the best mountains in the country so that's perfect. Beside there would be other things I can do. Can I please go?"
"No." she said.
"Why not?" I asked.
She looked at me. "I've never been out of Washington, let along New York, neither has Charlie." She looked at him. "Have you, Charlie?"
He sighed. "No, but I don't have a problem with –"
"See, Isabella." she turned to me, cutting my father off yet again. "If we haven't gone, I don't think it's really fair that you get to go without us. So no." she said.
"Renée, you're being completely unreasonable." Charlie said.
She glared at him. "I don't have to be reasonable; I'm her mother." she snapped. "What I say goes, and I say she's not going and that's final." She said. When she said that, I realized what she was saying.
She was saying I couldn't go, not because it was unsafe or she didn't trust me not to give Edward's parents trouble, but because she was jealous that I was going and she wasn't. And the fact that I might be going with the famous "Cullen family" made it worst. Is that why she made the comments about the dresses I thought for sure she would like? Is that why she was so back and forward with what she wanted from me? Was she really jealous because she thought I might attach the same attention she gets, maybe more? If that was the case, she was worse than I thought.
I don't think it's healthy to be jealous of your own daughter. You're supposed to want better for your kids, not to be better than them.
Charlie sighed hard. "It's not fair to keep her from something because we've never done it. If that was the case, she wouldn't do anything. If it means that much to you, we could try some kind of trip next year. But this year, she wants to go somewhere with her friends" he turned to me. "If it's okay with his parents, it's okay with me." he said.
I smiled. "Really?" I asked.
He nodded. When he did, my mother groaned. She slammed the table and stood up. "You know, I really hate it when you undermine my attorney, Charlie." She snapped before leaving the room.
He rolled his eyes. "She will be fine." He mumbled, probably trying to convince himself. He looked at me.
"So I can really go?" I asked. He nodded. "Yay. Thanks dad." I said as I reached over and hugged him.
"Yeah, yeah." He said as we pulled away. "Just don't give Mr. and Mrs. Cullen a hard time. Pick up after yourself and help around if they ask, and maybe even if they don't. They're nice enough to bring their children's friends with them on a family trip. You need to be on your best behavior." He warned me.
I nodded. "I will. Thank you again. There's one more thing." I told him.
"You're going to have to find your own way to the airport, Bells." He chuckled, before taking another bit of his pork chop. He said it in a joking tone, but I knew he was serious. He will probably be working when I go and knows my mom will not take me.
I chuckled back. "That's fine. I can ride with Rosalie. That's not it. I need my own spending money."
He wiped his mouth as he nodded. "That makes sense. You want me to give you some, right?" he asked. I nodded. "How much, about hundred?"
"I was thinking more like two." I eased out.
He let out a whisper. "Two hundred dollars, Bella? Don't you think that's a little much; especially around the holidays?" He replied.
He was right. I knew it might be a little much to ask for, but I had a good reason. "I don't know how much I need or what I would need it for. I might not even use most of it. I just want to be covered, just in case. Besides, my break is my busiest time for baby-sitting and I will miss a whole week. I will give it back as soon as I can." I promised.
He sighed. "One condition." He said holding up a finger. I nodded. "Bring me back something. And I don't mean just anything from the airport gift shop. I want something nice." he said with a smile. "Deal?"
I smiled back before nodding. "Deal"
"Okay, then we'll go to the bank so we can move the money over tomorrow."
"Okay. Thanks dad." I said.
He nodded. "Can you clean up? I'm going to go check on your mother."
For letting me go on this great trip, it was the least I can do. "Sure." I said before he got up and left the kitchen.
A few days later were the exams for everyone in the school. We took them before we went on break because a new semester starts when we come back. Some people don't like our testing being done that way. They say they don't want to be stressed before the holidays. I like that way. I rather be stressed before than during it. Besides, there's a less chance I would forget everything if take them now and get them over with.
I was taking my English exam, which was my last one. After this, I would be done for the semester.
B, A, D, D, A and…umm… I'm not really sure. C. I thought to myself
I finished filling out the bubbles on my test. I looked over the test to make sure I answered all the questions and answered them as correctly as I could before flipping back to the front of the exam pocket. I walked up to my teacher's desk. She looked up at me. "Are you finished?" I nodded. She pointed to the basket in the corner of her desk. "Put it in there. Have you finished cleaning out your locker?" she asked. I shook my head as I placed my test where she told me. "You may go finish if this is your last test."
"It is." I told her. It was the last day for our midterms and my English test was the last of the day. So I was done.
"You may go. Have a good break, Isabella." she said. No matter how much my "new name" spread among my peers, the teacher still call me by my whole name.
"Thank you. You too." I said before tucking my pencil in my back pocket. "Good luck." I said softly to Rosalie as I passed her. I walked out the room, softly closing the door behind me, before going to my locker. After every semester, we are required to clean out our lockers to it won't get too messy. I usually clean mine out, sometime after school, way before now, but for one reason or another, I haven't really got the chance to.
I was going through my notebook. I was looking for any notes before this month so I can I rip them out and toss them in the trash. I was going through my French notebook when I heard my name. "Bella!" I heard someone call me. I turned to see Edward jogging to me.
"Hi." I greeted when he got next to me. "Shouldn't you be in you exam?" I asked.
"I'm done with them all. I just talked to my last teacher. Guess what, I passed all my class."
"Really?" I asked.
He nodded. "Even Bio. All B's."
I smiled. "That's great Edward. I'm proud of you." I told him. it was my goal to get him to all B's and/or A's. That was the goal, but he did the work, which was just as good as my tutoring.
"What's that's all I get?" he asked. He opened his arms. "No hug?" he asked. I chuckled as I opened my own arms. I was surprised when he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me to his body. It was a little bit of a friendlier hug than I was expecting. "I couldn't have done it without you." He said in my ear.
I pulled away and smiled at him. "Yes, you could have. I just helped you." I told him.
He chuckled. "I doubt it. Thank you for your help." He said. "Oh, by the way, are you coming with us?" he asked.
I nodded, knowing already what he was referring to. "I asked my dad and he said I can come. He even gave me spending money." I told him. I was excited for the trip it would the first time I would get out Forks. Plus, it would a whole week without my mom.
"Great. We're leaving the day after Christmas and coming back January third." he told me. So it was a little longer than a week. Well, I'm sure my dad will still be okay it. I mean, it's not like we're be gone for a month. "We have a noon flight, so…"
"I'll be there at eleven?" I guessed.
He chuckled. "More like 10:45. We'll be sitting there for a while, but it gives us time to check all the bags in and for my parents to pick up the tickets." He explained. I nodded. "I'll see you then." He said before walking away.
When he did, I finished cleaning out my things from this locker. The one bad thing about having "two lockers" was I had to go to Rosalie's when she was done and do the same thing in there.

"Are you sure you got everything?" my dad said as he finished dragging my second and last bag down the stairs. I nodded.
"I'm not coming back, Bella. Maybe you should check again." Rosalie said.
I sighed hard. They both have been asking me that since I declare I was done packing last night. I know I've never been anywhere out of Forks before, but they can give me some credit in that fact that I know how to pack.
I humored them as I dropped to my knees and opened the first one. I went through my check list in my head as I shuffled through my things. Everything was brought by Alice, even the new luggage. I told her I didn't want it and she didn't have to buy anything for me. She just said she wanted to make sure I didn't forget anything.
My snowsuit, my boots, my hats and gloves all in that bag. Then I pushed out the way to look in the other one. My sweaters, jeans, lounge clothes, pajamas, toothbrush, toothpaste, hair tools, and the tanikini Alice said I needed for the hot bath behind the cabin (Alice insisted on a two piece. I told her I would, but there was no freaking way I was wearing bikini) were all in the second bag. "Check your book bag." Rosalie said, sounding like a mom. I took it off my back and looked thought it. My laptop, phone, wallet, some headphones, some books and some snacks were all in there.
"Everything's there." I told them as I closed all my bags. I stood up. "Can we go now?" I asked as I put my book bag back on my back.
"I guess whatever you did forget, Alice or someone has extra." Rosalie said as my dad grabbed my bags and walked to Rosalie's car. I rolled my eyes at what she said before she and I followed him out.
"Thanks dad." I said as he moved my bags in Rosalie's open truck. "Is mom coming down?" I asked. She has been upset for the whole time since we told her I was going. I couldn't believe she was still mad because I was going to New York with my friends. She says she wants me to make friends with Edward and his friends, but when I do, she gets mad at me. Just because I think I figure out why she was that way, I still don't know what she wants.
Charlie shook his head. "She's asleep, but I'll tell her you said bye when she wakes up." He said closing the truck. He turned to me and hugged me. "Bye Bells. Have a good time."
"Okay, I will."
"Call before you board and after you land." He ordered. I nodded. He kissed my forehead. "Love you Bells." He said.
"Love you too dad." I said. I pulled away and got into the passenger's side of Rosalie's car.
It took us about forty minutes to get to airport. It would have been longer if we had gotten caught in traffic or caught by the red lights. We didn't, so I couldn't complain.
When she parked, Emmett was walking to the car. "There you are. When you said you were two minutes away, I thought you meant actually two minutes." He complained as she opened her door.
"Well, that was your mistake, honey." She said before kissing him on the lips. "Besides, if I had told you my actually time, you would have just gotten out here, having me waiting." She told him.
I got out the car. He looked at me. "Bella, you're coming?" he asked. I nodded. "Cool, I guess." He said with a shrug. He was one of the only people who didn't see my change as good. Rosalie said he thinks I would keep her from him more now. If anything, she wouldn't have to choose between us anymore. I thought he would be the happiest.
We all walked to her trunk. I grabbed my bags so Rosalie – well, Emmett – could get hers. "Need some help, Belle?" I heard a voice. I turned. When I did, I felt my heart jump like anytime he smiles at me.
"Hi, Jasper." I said tugging my hair behind my ear.
He wrapped his arms around me. I felt my breath catch as he hugged me. "No one told me you were coming." He said as he released me.
"Surprise." Rosa said as I heard her close the trunk behind me. That was the second person surprised to see me. I wondered why Edward or Alice didn't tell the other two I was coming. I guess it never came up.
Emmett grabbed the two largest bags of Rosalie's four while she grabbed the two smaller ones. He groaned as he lifted him. "Damn girl, what do you have in here? Enough clothes for a fucking country?" he said as he carried them
Rosalie grabbed her two smaller ones. "Stop whining, sweetie." She said as she followed him to the building.
Jasper and I chucked at them. He turned back to me. "So, need some help?" he asked again.
"I think I got it." I said as I lifted the bags.
"At least let me get one of them." he said grabbing the handle of a bag. I had to try my hardest to control my breathing because when he did, he touched my hand. I still had a hard time doing so when he did. "I insist." He said as he took it from me. "I wouldn't feel like a gentleman if I let you carry both of them." he said. I just gave a small nod before we followed Emmett and Rosalie into the building.
When we got in, I saw only Edward and Alice sitting in the waiting area. "Where are Mr. and Mrs. Cullen?" I asked, hoping I didn't unknowingly lie to my father.
"Getting the tickets." Emmett answered.
"And the bags?" I asked.
Jasper chuckled. "Already getting ready for the plane." He answered. We walked over to a belt. Emmett placed Rosalie's bags on it. She, Jasper and I did the same. Emmett wrapped his arm around Rosalie's waist before we walked to where saw Edward and Alice waiting.
Alice was the first one to see us. "Bella!" she cheered before jumping up and running over to us. She pushed pass Emmett and Rosalie to get to me. She slammed herself in to me. I had to take a few steps back to catch my balance. I will never understand why she's always so excited to see me. Probably because she thinks I will not come.
"Hi Alice." I chuckled as I hugged her back.
"Guess, I don't matter." Rosalie mumbled.
"Yes, but I'm used to seeing you." Alice replied as she hooked her arm with mine and we walked back to the seats.
"Hi Rosalie. Hey Bella." Edward said when we got to the chairs. We both said hi back.
A few minutes later, I saw his mom walking to us. "Bella. So nice to see you again. I'm glad you're coming." She said to me.
I smiled. "You too. Thank you for allowing me to come with you and your family." I told her.
She nodded. "No problem. Thank you for not letting our extra ticket go to waste" she replied. Then a man with pale blonde hair in a light blue Polo shirt and tan kakis walked over to use with tickets in his hands. He had bright green eyes and flawless skin. He walked over and stood next to Edward's mom. He wrapped his arm around her waist before kissing her on the cheek.
That's when I realized I never met his father.
"Dear, this is Edward and Alice's new friend, Bella." She said introducing me. Dear?
He flashed some of the pearliest whites I have ever seen at me in the simplest, yet prettiest smile. And my dad thought my teeth were white. If I stared long enough at them, they might just blind me. "You're Bella?" he asked. I nodded. "I hear you the one that's been helping Edward with his schoolwork. You are as pretty as my family said." he said with a smile.
I knew it was stupid, but I couldn't stop the blush that came when he said that. Wait, did he say…"Family?" I questioned.
He chuckled. "My apologizes. I'm Edward's and Alice's father. Nice to meet you." He greeted as he held his hand out to me.
Father? That was his father? I looked at him then at his son, who was looking at his phone, then back at…this…person? – I wasn't sure if he was real or one of those mythical Greek gods I learned about – in from of me. This was the guy I never met? When the heck did he have his children, the very second he hit puberty? The guy looked like our age, maybe one or two years older. Old enough to be their older brother, but not to be their father.
I realized he still had his hand out to me. I shook the thoughts from my head before taking his hand. "Nice to meet you." I replied.
"Thank you for joining us." he replied before he took his hand back. I nodded. I know it was rude, but I couldn't look away. He could not be their father. He looked way too young. He had to be one of those gods. Was he the descended of the god of youth and the goddess of beauty or something?
"Dad, are we ready to board?" Edward asked.
He looked at his son and nodded. "We got the tickets and the cabinet doors are opened. We're ready when you all are." He answered.
"Well, everyone's here so I think we are." Edward said, standing up.
His father nodded. "Alright." Everyone followed him.
"Ready?" both Jasper and Edward said to me. I blinked before looking at them. They both smiled at me. I smiled back before nodding. "Well, then let's go." Jasper teased as he held out his hand. I giggled before grabbing it. Edward looked at our hands before walking ahead of us.

I felt my breath catch as the plane took off.
Edward chuckled. "You're not afraid of flying, are you?" he teased, next to me.
"I'm not sure." I said unsteadily.
"What do you mean you're not sure?" Alice asked me on the other side of Edward. Since my ticket was Tanya's before, I was seated next to Edward. He sat in the middle of me and Alice because according them, her and Tanya couldn't seat next to each other without trying to kill one another.
I shook my head. "I never flew before." I told them. I found myself settling when the plane stopped lifting and steadied. Both Edward and Alice looked at me. I nodded. "I'm fine." I told them. As long as the plane stayed this way for the rest of the flight, I think that was the truth.
We were flying smoothly for about thirty or forty minutes before Alice sighed. I looked at her. "What's wrong with you?" her brother asked as he played a game on his phone.
"Both my phone and iPod are low, so I'm bored now." she answered.
"Go to sleep." He suggested.
She shook hear. "Not tired. Oh, I know, let's play game." She said, excitedly. I looked at her interested.
"No one wants to play one of your games, Alice." Edward replied.
"I do." I spoke up.
They both looked at me. "Really?" they said at the same time. Edward's was more surprise whereas Alice's was more excited. I nodded. It sounds like it could be fun. "Sweet." Alice said. She hit the back of the seats in front of us. "Hey you three. Turn around, we're playing a game." She said. No one did what she said. They all must have something in their ears. She sighed before taking off her seat belt and standing up. "Rosalie, we're playing a game." She said, tapping her shoulder.
When she sat back down, Rosalie turned to us, standing on her knees on her chair. When she did, Jasper did the same. She hit Emmett's shoulder before I heard a sigh and he turned too. "So, what are we playing?" Rosalie asked.
Alice shrugged. "I don't know. Come up with something someone." she said.
"Truth or dare?" Rosalie suggested.
Alice shook her head. "After a while, that game becomes just dare and we can't do any good dares on a plane." She answered before thinking. Then something went off in her head. She smiled. "I know a game we never get tired of, we can play 'I never'." She said. Everyone's, even Edward and Emmett, eyes widen in interest.
Everyone, but me. "What's that?" I asked.
Everyone looked at me. "The game known to end relationship and damage friendship." Emmett joked. The others laugh.
"It's a drinking game we usually play when it's just us. We all have a drink. Someone makes a statement, starting with the phrase 'Never have I ever'."
"Like 'Never have I ever pretended to be sick'." Rosalie said.
"Or 'Never have I ever driven before I got my license'." Jasper added.
Alice nodded. "Right and the people who have done it, takes a drink and if no one drinks, the person who said it drinks. The person who needs more than two refills is out. We keep playing until there's one person."
I nodded. "Sounds fun." I said when I understood the rules.
"But we can't drink on the plane." Emmett said. That's where I realized they meant alcohol when they said drinking. They actually make a game to take shots. That didn't sound safe or healthy. More surprising, they all drank? Even Alice. I guess I shouldn't be all that shocked. Well, at least if we play now, I wouldn't feel pressure to drink alcohol.
"You're right." Alice sighed, disappointed.
"We can use tonic water." I suggested. They looked at me again.
"What the hell is that?" Emmett asked the question I'm sure the others were thinking.
It seems like I was always the one different from everyone else. I hope it won't be like this all week. "It's a biter tasting, carbonated soft drink; it's usually used to mixed drinks. It tastes awful alone."
"Interest twist." Jasper said. "I'm in." he said.
"So am I." Edward said. The other three nodded in agreement. When they did, I asked the flight attendant to bring us six cups and a bottle of tonic water. We explained we were playing a new version of a drinking game when she gave us a questionable look. She brought us what we want, figuring at least we weren't asking for alcohol.
"Who's gonna start?" Edward asked after I pour a cup for myself after pouring one for everyone else.
Alice smiled at me. "Bella, you can start." She said.
I didn't know what to say. I was hoping someone else would so I would know what questions to ask. "Uh…ok." I guess. I should start with something simple. "Never have I ever, cheated on a test." I said. When I did, Edward and Emmett drank. No surprise there.
When they did, they both gag. I'm guessing because of the tonic water. "This shit is nasty." Emmett expressed.
"Perfect." Alice said. She looked at Jasper. "You're next." She said.
"Okay. Never have I ever ditched school to go over a boyfriend or girlfriend's house." Jasper said. Emmett, Rosalie, and Edward drank. So that's where she be when she's not at school. I guess I should have known when I didn't see Emmett either.
It went on like that with Alice, Edward and Rosalie saying something small or school related.
"With lame ass things like that, I will be on my second cup before we land." Emmett complained after Rosalie said "never have I ever fell asleep on a movie."
"Okay, Emmett, it's your turn. Say something not lame." Alice suggested.
He thought for a moment before grinning. "Okay, never have I ever got caught drinking and driving." He said smiling at Edward. Everyone turned to him. I wondered why.
He sighed. "Shut up." He mumbled before taking a drink. When I saw he was the only one to drink, I knew why they were smiling at him. He was the only one of the six of us who did that. Why wasn't I surprised? When he was done, he smirked at my best friend and her boyfriend. "Okay, how about Never have I ever done it in any place but the bed." He said. I saw why he was smirking because Emmett and Rosa were the only two who drank.
"Fine. Never have I ever done it with more than one person." Rosalie replied when she was done. Again, Edward was the only who drank.
"You're a slut." Alice teased her brother.
He stopped himself from gagging like the other times before talking. "Shut up. It was only two people." He defended.
"Whatever." She replied, giggling still. "Who's next?" she asked.
"I can go. Never have I done it more than once." Jasper said. Emmett, Rosalie and Edward drank. It seem like they're the only ones who were for these type of question.
"Never have I ever started dating the one my first time was with." Edward said. So I'm guessing Tanya was his second time. This time only Rosalie and Emmett drank, talking about each other, I assume.
"My turn." Alice said. Everyone turned their attention to her. "Never have I done it the first time just to get it done." She said. When she did, her brother and Emmett drank. Again, no surprise. They didn't seem like the romantic type. But what did surprise me was that Jasper drank. I didn't think he would do something like. I didn't even think he wasn't a virgin. I guess it made sense, considering why he did it. Guys were known for that; the whole no emotion thing, I guess. Still…
They all looked at me. I'm guessing because I was my turn. I knew the simplest one, sticking to the theme. "Never have I ever done it." I said simply.
Everyone drank but me and Alice. "You're supposed to say something you haven't done, Bella." Emmett said before taking his slip.
"I did." I said. When I did, everyone looked at me.
"You're a virgin?" Edward asked bluntly. I nodded. They all looked at me with a shocked look. Even Rosalie. I don't know why she was surprised. I guess she should be since that was something we never talked about me. I guess she just assume like I did about Jasper.
I don't know why they were surprised. Why did they think I wasn't drinking?
"I didn't know they still made you." Emmett joked. Rosalie hit his arm, but I just laugh. Of course they did. What did he think; people just came out the womb not being one?
"Leave her alone. I'm one too." Alice said.
"Yeah, but you're sixteen. You shouldn't even know what 'it' we're talking about." Edward teased and everyone laughed.
Alice stuck out her tongue. "Please. There are people who are on their second child by the time they get my age. I just don't want to give it someone who I know I will break up with months later. I'm sure Bella feels the same way." She said.
I shrugged. "I haven't found the person yet." I said. I did love Jasper, but I don't even think I would do it with him if the moment came. I wasn't ready yet. And I wasn't ashamed of that.
"That's okay." Jasper said. I smiled at him. I was glad someone thought so, even though he was just as surprised as everyone else.
"Can we move from this topic, please?" Edward said. I found it funny since he was the one who brought it up in the first place.
"Okay, how about, never have I ever got caught fooling around, hooking up, or making out by a parent or teacher?" Jasper said. Again, only Rosalie, Emmett and Edward drank; groaning before doing so. They were definitely the more experienced half of the six of us.
"I got one, never have I ever lusted or was attracted to a friend's parent." Alice said. When she did, I looked at Edward. He looked at me, knowing the look. He rolled his eyes and drank. Rosalie drank. Since we were being honest, I drank too. Everyone looked at me, shocked again.
Rosalie smiled. She probably knew I drank for the same reason she did. "Mr. Cullen, right?" she said. I sighed before nodding. I didn't want to think it, it would make me no better than Edward when he met my mom. But his dad was so cute. "He's sexy, isn't he?"
"Ew, Rosa." Alice clinched.
"Yeah, Blondie, that's our dad." Edward added, though he really shouldn't talk.
She shrugged. "Be grossed out all you want. Your dad is still hot." She said. I giggled.
"Next person please." Alice said.
"Alright. Never have I ever gotten arrested." Emmett said. I was surprised he said that. I would think he would be the one drinks if someone else says it. Nevertheless, Edward drank. It was probably when he drank and drove. I'm starting to think he was the "bad boy" of the group.
"Define arrested." I said.
"Handcuffs, ride in the back of a cop car, thrown in a cell for a night, the whole nine." He explained. When he said that, I drank.
"What?" Rosalie said when I did. "Explain." She demanded.
I sighed. "I was eleven and I stole something. I don't even remember what it was. Well, my dad told one of his friends to arrest me to show how it would be if I did it again." I said.
"Whoa, we got a badass on our hands." Emmett teased, causing everyone to laugh.
He has been making fun of me the whole game. I think it was time for pay back. I winked t Rosalie. "Never have I ever had to show a guy how to unhook a bra." I said.
Rosalie giggled before drinking. Everyone but I and she looked at Emmett. "I don't want to talk about it." he looked at me. "Looks like someone learned how to play." He said to me. I shrugged. I wasn't taking getting teased anymore. "Okay." He said before thinking. "How about, never have I ever hooked up or fooled around in my sibling's room or bed." Rosalie and Edward drank.
"And that's why I don't sleep on or with anything pink." Alice said, clinching in disgusted.
"Yeah, what the hell were you doing my room anyways?" Jasper said.
Rosalie rolled her eyes. "I was looking for a condom." She said.
He sighed hard. "Okay, let's never talk about that." he groaned.
"Deal." She agreed, making us laugh. "I'm going to go before Emmett brings up some more memories I rather forget. Never have I ever gotten some pierced or tattooed with my parents' permission." She said. Alice drank. Rosalie looked at me; lifting one eyebrow. I guess she got tired of my cup being as full as it was. I sighed and drank. Everyone looked at me again. What, they did I was too good for anything. I guess so. "Explain what it was, Bella." Rosalie said with a smile.
I rolled my eyes. "My bellybutton, last year." I told them. When Rosalie turned seventeen, she wanted us to get something done together. We were too young for the tattoos she wanted without parent consent and I didn't want to tell them I was planning on getting anything like that. So Rosalie decided on getting our navels pierced. She and I both cried when the needle went through. Her mother took us and until this day, no one knew but her and me.
"No way. I've seen you stomach many time and never seen anything."
"Well, since I don't need it in all the time now, I only have in on the weekends." I told her. I'm usually hanging out with Rosalie and she gets mad when I don't have it in. She always asked what is the point is I don't wear anything in it. But I think what's the point if I know I'm not going to wear anything to show if off.
"Do you have it in now?" Jasper asked. I nodded. Rosalie made me put one of the ones she brought me for the trip since I might be showing my stomach in the swimsuit Alice brought me. "You know what that means." He grinned.
"You have to show us." Alice added.
I shook my head. "No way." I said.
"Show us, show us." she said chanting before Rosalie and Jasper joined in. then Edward. Emmett shrugged before doing so, with a bored tone.
"Fine." I said, causing them to stop. I handed my cup to Edward before unbuckling myself. I stood up and took off my jacket before lifting my shirt just enough for them to see the small dark blue and white butterfly dangling from the center on my belly.
"Cute." Alice said.
"Right?" Rosalie agreed. She tries all the time to convince me to wear it. Again, no one will see it unless I do this, so what's the point? I guess she figure someone else telling me will get me to.
"Hot." Emmett said before Rosalie hit his arm. "It is." He said. She rolled her eyes. I giggled as I sat back down.
"Very nice." Jasper said.
I smiled at him. "Thank you." I said, taking my cup back form Edward.
"Okay, my turn." Edward said. everyone's attention was off me as everyone looked at him. "Never have I ever…" he said before thinking. "Needed surgery." He said. Jasper drank, Alice drank and I drank.
"Never have I ever dreamt about a teacher." Jasper said. Everyone, including me, drank but him and Alice.
"All of you explain." Alice said.
I shook my head. "Don't want to talk about it." I said.
"Dido." The other three agreed.
She sighed hard. "Fine, be that way. My turn. Never have I ever…" she stopped and looked at me. She smiled. "Have a crush on school at our school." She said. Rosalie drank, so did Emmett. I wasn't surprised when Edward didn't. He didn't seem like the 'crush' type. Alice was still looked at me. It seems like anytime her or Rosa say something, it was intended for me. I drank so she would stop looking at me. When I did, I saw Jasper looking right at me. He gave a smile before drinking to me.
"Never have I ever had one that lasted longer than a few days?" Edward said. The same three people drank. Again, Jasper looked at me and smiled before drinking. Wait…Was he talking about me? Was Rosalie right all this time? He couldn't have been. If he wasn't, why was he smiling at me?
"Longer than a few months?" Alice asked. Same three people. Once again, Jasper smiled at me before drinking. "Longer than a year?" she said. This time only Jasper and I drank. He was still looking at me. Longer than a year? No way was he talking about me.
"Alice, let someone else go." Edward said.
"Fine, I'll go." Rosalie said. "Never have I ever wanted to just hook up with someone." Edward and Alice drank. Jasper and I didn't, but he was still looking, smiling at me.
"Looks like we have some things in common." He said to me. "My turn. Never have I ever kissed my crush." He said. Either one of us drank.
"Never have I ever dated nor had sex with my crush." I replied. He chuckled, but he didn't drink. In fact, I think the ones who did for the last two were Emmett and Rosalie.
"Never I have I ever wanted to any of the last three." Edward said. Jasper and I smiled before drinking. I wondered which one of the three he was talking about.
"Never have I ever tried to keep my friend from dating someone." Alice said. Everyone drank, but her.
"Never have I ever thought about cheating on the person I'm dating." Emmett said.
"You better not have." Rosalie said. No one drank, but Edward. My guess was that he was the only one, beside Rosalie and Emmett, who was dating someone. Who he was thinking about cheating on Tanya with, I wondered. Someone who he thought would make him look much better than his current accessory, I bet.
I don't know who was planning on going next, and I didn't get the chance to find out. "You all have to put your seatbelts back on. We're about to land." The flight attendant said before someone else said something. We all nodded before the other three turned back in their seats and Alice and I buckled our seat beats back.
I couldn't believe we played this game for the whole flight. It was fun and I found out some interesting things.
