~Lockdown in Detention~

III

*Izzy*

"Finally you two are back!" Emmett shouted once Edward and I reached the others. He was waiting off to the side for us, while the Hale twins and that Alice girl were off in their own group, talking to one another.

Once we were near him, the behemoth picked us up into a giant bear hug and swung us side to side. "Em… Can't… Breathe!" I squeaked, and Emmett immediately dropped the both of us on our asses. "Damn, your hugs hurt." Edward grunted, struggling to stand. Emmett laughed, muttering, "Maybe you're just too thin," while Edward helped me up to my feet.

"So, dude, how was she?" Emmett asked Edward, waggling his eyebrows and winking. Edward's cheeks tinted to an adorable shade of red, and I heard a high pitched huff from over at the Hale group. Soon, the ice queen stomped over, Jasper and Alice right behind her.

"We uh… It wasn't… I didn't…" Edward stammered, his face getting redder and redder by the moment. I laughed, and decided to save him. "Trust me, Em. We didn't get far. I think his innocence needs to stay intact just a little longer before I corrupt it." I assured Emmett, leaning against Edward's arm and patting his shoulder.

"Okay, can we please move on from this whole talk of poor Edward being defiled by a beast like you?" Rosalie snarled, glaring daggers at me. I looked back at her, resigned, and said, "You know, I don't recall ever having you join in on this conversation, Hale. And since when did Edward's innocence ever involve you?"

"Oooh, maybe the ice queen is lusting after Eddie boy." Emmett cut in then, snickering. Edward's face was continuing to grow red, and now even Alice, Jasper and Rosalie were growing red. "No! It's not that! It's just – " "Please, it's so that." I interrupted, guffawing at her. Emmett and I howled at her fuming figure, while Jasper and Alice looked mighty uncomfortable.

"Uh, can we talk about something else?" Edward muttered then once Emmett and I finished laughing. "Sure. How about we talk about how the hell we're going to get out of here?" Emmett asked then, his eyes sparkling with a look I was all too familiar with – mischief.

"I think we should stay here and finish our detention." Jasper spoke up; I think that's one of the first few times I ever heard him speak. "I agree with my brother; breaking out of detention is going to get us in more trouble. Although, if you two want to escape, go ahead; it doesn't really affect you since your grades are shit." Rosalie said then, sneering at us. "Well, if you two want to just stay here and do absolutely nothing, then go ahead. Ed?" I asked, looking up at him.

He shrugged and said, "Getting out of here beats hanging around this boring dump. I'm in." "So am I." Alice piped up, and the twins looked at her in shock. "Alice! You can't be serious!" Rosalie hissed, staring at her wildly. "Well, I am. I can't just stay here; it's too boring. And besides, maybe I can get home on time to tell my parents what really happened today before Mr. Greene can tell them some made up crap." Alice explained, shrugging her dainty shoulders.

"Sweet; looks like the four of us are making a prison break." Emmett cheered, smirking.

"Hold up – I just realized something…" I spoke up then, the cogs in my brain turning. They all looked at me, wondering what I had to say. "We can't leave the Hale twins here. They can easily snitch on us if we ditch and don't get caught." I said, looking over at the two evilly. Emmett, Alice and Edward looked over at the twins, their faces showing their agreement to my comment.

Jasper shuffled awkwardly, while Rosalie sniffed. "Maybe we'll do that, and maybe we won't." she growled.

"You won't, since you're now our prisons." I said, snickering. "Oh please! We certainly won't be your prisons. We'll be screaming and hollering – it'll be easy for you to get caught." Rosalie retorted, looking satisfied with her idea. "Not unless you want your darkest secrets to be spilled all over school. I can make it happen." I threatened; the twins paled just a little. "Pfft. You don't know any of our darkest secrets." Jasper tried blowing it off. "Oh really. I think I do. Remember the summer camp, ten years ago?" I asked, and their eyes widened.

I knew exactly what happened a decade ago at the camp, and judging from their faces, they had no idea that I knew.

"Fine." the twins muttered, agreeing to be our prisoners.

"Excellent." Emmett hissed, pumping his fist into the air.

We hurried to the doors of the library, where the twins were surprised that Mrs. Wendell had disappeared. But, we focused on the task at hand, forgetting about the cranky teacher. "So, who has a hairpin?" Emmett asked. We all looked at each other, before Rosalie sighed. She went digging through her hair that had been pulled up into a styled ponytail, and pulled one out, handing it to Emmett. He took it, uncurled it, and began picking at the lock.

"I doubt this is actually going to work." Edward muttered to me. "Trust me; Emmett's a master at lock picking." I whispered, leaning into his arm again. He let me lean into him; there was even the smallest hint of a smile on his face. Once again icy bitch, who was on my far right, glared daggers at me.

"Got it!" Emmett cheered, just as I heard a loud clicking noise. He stood, pulled on the handle, and opened the door. He let us file out, and closed the door behind him once all of us were outside. "Sweet freedom!" I cried jokingly, spreading my arms out. Emmett, Alice and Edward laughed at me, but also looked happy to be free from the confines of the library.

"Come on, we better start finding a way to get out of here." Emmett advised. We all walked down the stairs that led to the library, with Rosalie and Jasper in between Alice and Emmett. We began walking around, hoping to find an escape route that wouldn't lead us too close to any of our classes.

"So…" Edward trailed off quietly to me while we walked. I looked up at him, to see him looking over his handsome, broad and totally se – I mean, his shoulder, at the Hale twins, before looking back over at me. "Think you can tell me their darkest secret that involves that summer camp a decade ago?" he hissed to me, hoping the twins hadn't heard. I let out a hearty chuckle, earning stares from the others, and patted his arm. "I'll tell you when we're alone again." I whispered in his large ear, smiling up at his blushing face.

I only hope that time will come very soon.

We all turned the corner, but I shooed everyone back around the corner when I heard high heels clicking. They hurried back around, to where our backs were pressed against the wall. "What do we do now?" Alice hissed, looking over at me with a frightened look. I looked around the corner, and saw Mrs. Wendell emerging, her hair now styled into a messy bun and it looked like her make-up was just a tad bit smudged.

"Looks like someone had a little hanky-panky…" I muttered to the others. "Who's coming?" Emmett whispered. "Wendell." I told him, peaking around the corner one last time. And she was still coming this way.

"Fall back!" I hissed, making shooing motions to them. Emmett immediately picked up Rosalie – who was the closest to him – and carried her off bridal style in a fast trot. Alice grabbed Jasper's hand firmly in hers, and they too took off in high speeds. Edward waited with me, before we took off into a sprint.

Just seconds later after we began running – "Hey! Get back here your rapt scallions!" Mrs. Wendell screamed at us. "Rapt scallions?" I snorted to Edward, and we both laughed.

We all ran through the school, trying to get away from Mrs. Wendell's furious screeches. Finally, we stopped once we were as far as we could go, where Wendell's shouts were muffled and far away. We all huffed and puffed from the exertion of how fast we ran, bent over our knees and bending backwards. Rosalie, who had been arried, demanded that she be put down, glaring at Emmett while doing so.

"Suit yourself." he grumbled, and literally dropped the ice queen on her ass. "Ow!" she yelped, groaning in pain. Jasper hurried over to his sister, helping her to her feet, while Emmett and I laughed. "Nice." I told him, snorting. "Shut up, Swan." Hale snarled, but I ignored her little temper tantrum.

"Whoa…" Edward suddenly muttered, looking over to his left. "What?" I asked him, looking the same direction. "Emmett, I think Ed has found our ticket out of here for a clean escape." I told Emmett, pointing to the left. The four of them all looked to the left, at the –

"Do you think I'm going to be riding that? If you do, then you're really a pair of dumbasses!" Jasper snarled at the two of us, with his sister agreeing. "Ah ah ah. You two have to, considering you're our prisoners." Emmett reminded him, walking over to the beauty that was our escape.

Our escape was a loading cart. Our school loved to keep up with the plants, and some gardeners that volunteer to take of the plants, get to drive this cart around. The front of the cart could seat three people, while there was a flat bed behind it that would hold any gardening supplies the gardener needed with them.

"It's absolutely beautiful." Emmett commented, wiping away a fake tear. "A perfectly good means of an escape, just sitting before us – unprotected, unused." I added, and high fived him. Edward came up to me, looking happy for an escape, but he eyed the wheel in the front, and frowned. "One problem – no keys." Edward grumbled, sighing.

"Oh, too bad. Looks like we'll just have to face the music!" Rosalie said sarcastically, snickering. "Not a problem for the old master at hotwiring." Emmett reassured her, smiling deviously when her smirk disappeared. Emmett went to the cart, and began taking the cart apart, hotwiring the cart like he would with a stolen car.

I hopped up onto the flat bed to sit on the edge, and let my little legs dangle off of the edge. Edward leaned against the flat bed next to me, watching my legs. I looked up at him, laughing at his watching. He looked up startled, and blushed. I was really loving at how I could easily make him blush. "You're so weird, E." I told him truthfully, and he looked at me weird. "I'm not weird." he muttered.

"Are too. You were watching my legs." I remarked. "So? Maybe I like your legs." he mumbled, and I felt my face heat up along with my lady bits becoming all tingly. So the handsome homeless hunk likes my legs eh? I smirked, and walked my fingers over to his hand. I then slithered my fingers under his, clasping his rough, callused hand in mine, and brought him over to me. He looked surprised from my boldness, but otherwise he complied.

I wound my other hand through his messy hair, and twirled bits of the silky mess between my fingers. He was breathing heavily, his eyes turning a darker shade of green. It really was appealing, seeing that he was getting worked up about our close proximity of each other.

"Do you like anything else about me?" I asked him, licking my lips. I didn't care at this point if the others were watching us. In fact, I could hear them; Alice was giggling, and I heard Emmett snickering while he was making dirty jokes about us to himself. Jasper was silent, and I could hear Rosalie cursing up an angry story directed at me.

"Uh…"

Suddenly, I felt the cart rumble to life, shaking me and pushing me into Edward's hard body. "I am a hotwiring god!" Emmett roared victoriously, and I smiled. Edward helped me move back onto the bed of the cart, and we turned around to see Jasper staring worriedly at his fuming sister, while Alice looked happy that Emmett was able to start up the cart.

"Alright, now before we make our escape, let's figure out the seating arrangements." I advised. "I'll be the designated driver." Emmett called. "Okay. Now, that leaves two free seats with you. I'll be back here on the bed of the cart." I offered, and after crawling up to where the bed met the seats in front, I lied down on my stomach. "I'll hang back here with Bella." Edward immediately suggested, and he crawled up to lie on his stomach on my left I blushed, but smiled at his eager face to be back here.

"I'll sit up front with Emmett." Alice said, and got into the cart, sitting next to him. "Alright pixie!" he cheered, and high-fived Alice. Now, only the fuming twins were left off to the side. Jasper huffed, and muttered, "I'll join the two on the truck bed." And then he hopped up onto the truck bed and lied down on my right. Rosalie looked fuming mad that she didn't get to sit near Edward – jealous bitch – but she reluctantly sat down on Alice's other side, taking the last seat in the cart.

"Hold on tight, passengers. We're in for a wild escape." Emmett announced once we were all situated. He stomped down on the gas pedal, and the cart zoomed off. "Ooph! Damn Em!" I growled when I lurched back painfully on my stomach. The wind whipped back my hair as he raced us across campus. I struggled to get back into my original position, but with Edward's help, I was now lying closely into him.

"Do you think you can drive a little more carefully to where you won't kill us?" Rosalie screeched, and gripped the front of the cart like it was her only lifeline. "We're trying to make an escape here, princess. There's no way I'm going to drive like a grandma – or you." Emmett teased back, and I heard Edward snickering.

Emmett zipped around the corner, and I heard Alice let out, "Crap! We're in trouble!" I looked up over them, and saw several teachers – Mrs. Wendell included – waiting a few feet ahead of us. I could also see Principal Greene waiting alongside them.

"We're screwed." I heard Jasper mutter beside me. "Evasive maneuvers, Em!" I hissed at him, and threw my arms around Jasper's and Edward's backs. Emmett began moving the cart back and forth, and I could feel us wiggling this way and that. "Damn it, McCarthy! Are you trying to kill us?" Rosalie screamed, and I looked up minutely to see her gripping onto Alice now.

I heard shouts and angry protests, where I could only guess that those teachers weren't too happy with how we passed by them so dangerously close to knocking them out or running over their feet. "Let's get as far from them as possible so we can get to a fence and ditch this popsicle stand!" Emmett suggested to me, and I nodded my head. "Hello! Ditching will just get us into deeper shit!" Jasper shouted at us.

"I'd rather run from those teachers now, though." Edward grumbled, and I nodded my head in agreement. "Watch out!" Alice cried out, and Emmett swerved violently. Edward, Jasper and I were thrown from the cart, rolling and tumbling onto the hard concrete. As I lied there in searing pain, I heard a crash from somewhere in front of us.

"Bella, you okay?" I heard Edward's sweet voice speak above me, and I grunted. "Damn Emmett. He might've just fucked up my arm." I hissed, using the one arm that wasn't in pain to push myself up. Edward helped me as well, letting me lean against him. "Can you move your arm?" he asked me, where I tried moving it. It hurt like a bitch when I tried moving it.

"Ugh… Your friend is an ass." I looked up and found Jasper stumbling his way over to us, holding his head in both hands. "I think we should go check on them." Edward offered, gesturing over to where the others were – they had crashed into several bushes. We all stumbled over to them, seeing that Emmett was hunched over, while Alice and Rosalie leaned against one another, groaning out in pain.

"Nice driving skills, asshole." I joked with Emmett, punching him weakly in the shoulder. He chuckled, rolling his eyes at my sarcastic wit.

"THAT'S IT!" we froze on the spot when we heard that deep, booming voice roar behind us. Slowly, we all turned around, and found the principal standing behind us.

"You all, are going to pay."

*~*~*~E&B*~*~*~

"You've got to be shitting me!" Emmett growled, glaring at the scene. "Why? Just fucking why?" Edward groaned, slumping forward.

"This is your entire fucking fault, Swan! If you hadn't gotten us into this mess, we wouldn't here right now!" Rosalie hissed at me, glaring. "Me? Well, even if I did start it, why did you have to retaliate?" I asked her, snickering at her scowl.

"This isn't so bad… right?" Jasper asked out loud, gulping. "No. It's terrible." Alice muttered, sighing.

She was right. The rest of you, clean this up my ass.

That's right. As added punishment, not only did the hours for the detention get extended, we also have to clean up the cafeteria. I thought the other students had cleaned it up, but all they did was just push the food around off to the side.

Just great.

"Get to work, you six. I want to see this place be spotless." Principal Greene ordered, walking over to the only clean table, and with a book on top of it already, he opened it and began reading from it.

"So, how are we going to do this?" Edward asked me. I looked around, trying to find the least messy thing to do here. I spotted a large puddle of soda, punch and other drinks. "You and I can go take care of that." I told him, pointing out to the drink mess. He shrugged, agreeing with me, where he went over to one of the buckets, took it and two mops and led us over to the mess. "Jazz and I got the tables." Alice called out, and I looked back to find her skipping over to get another bucket and two washcloths. "Well, looks like we're on garbage duty, tuts." Emmett teased Rosalie. "Ugh, great." she groaned.

And so began our torture…


A/N: And there's the chapter, everyone! :D

I thought that ending it there would be a good idea. Plus, since I'm still stuck on how to continue with AE, I might as well update the other stories on this list. :)

Reviews and votes to the poll on my profile would be greatly appreciated~

Bye for now,
