Chapter 3 – Surprise Surprise
POV: Rosalie
Songs: Bobaflex – Bury Me With My Guns On


I was in the middle of a really good dream starring Emmett and I. It wasn't anything along the lines of what you are thinking. Just us talking to each other on the beach while the sun set. Romantic stuff. That is until I heard a buzzing sound…where is that coming from? There wasn't anyone else out here but us. The buzzing continued. Then it hit me. The buzzing wasn't in my dream, but the stupid alarm clock on the night table beside my bed.

Buzzing alarms mean it's a school day. And school days mean teachers and jerks to deal with. All of a sudden the buzzing stopped. Surprisingly I wasn't the one that cut it off. I didn't want to open my eyes though to find out who was in my room.

"Rose?" A soft voice said followed by some slight shaking of my body. "Come on baby get up. We're gonna be late."

It was Emmett. That big teddy bear of mine. "I don't wanna go." I said rolling onto my stomach. I felt hot breath then a kiss on my neck. Which in turn made me squeeze my neck and shoulder together.

"So you would rather stay here by yourself than go to school and be with your boyfriend?"

He did have a point there. I wouldn't want to be here by myself. So I guess I'm getting up and going to school even though I don't want to. I flipped over and looked up at him. "Fine. I guess I'll go."

"I thought that would get you. Now get up or we are going to be late."
"Fine. I'm getting up." I said throwing my purple and black comforter off of me and standing up. "Stupid Mondays. I hate em. They ruin my fun-ness." I said as I walked over to the walk-in closet.

"Think of it this way. The sooner you get ready and get it over with, the sooner we can come home. Not to mention the faster the weekend comes." Emmett said walking up behind me.

"You really do have a thing for looking at stuff differently."
"Well it's all thanks to my mom."
"True."
"Not to mention that I will have all day to look at you." He stated pulling me back against his chest.

"Uh huh…wait a minute. You said all day. You're not in all of my classes. Are you?"
"Actually I am. You never noticed because you were always with dick head." A frown growing on his face after he said that.
"I'm sorry Em. I didn't know."
"It's ok. No one ever really noticed me because I'm different. Well Edward and Alice did. Which was cool. I've never had any REAL friends."
"Why would you say that?" I said as I turned around to face him.

"Rose. If you haven't noticed by now, I'm not your preppy guy. More of the punk type. You know with the black band shirts, mostly metal or rock music. Not any of that rap stuff."

"And I'm fine with that. I don't mind what you wear, or what you listen to. What matters is that I love you for you."
"Do what?" He stated with confusion on his face.

"What I said was that I'm fine with that."
"Not that part. The last part."
"That I love you?"
"Yeah that…" He said with a smile. "I love you too."

I had to reach up on my tip toes to give him a kiss. Which was more of a peck, considering how much of a height difference there was between us.

"So should I dress like you do? Or wear what I usually do? Even though I don't like those clothes that much." I asked skeptically.

"That would be up to you. Even though I don't think that you would have anything in that closet of yours that would match my style. If you get my drift."

"I think I do have something in here that would suit you. Go get ready." I said pushing him back towards the bedroom door.

"But I wanna see."
"You will see when I get done. Kay?"
"Fine. But hurry we really are gonna be late."
"Alright already." I gave him a kiss then gave him a shove down towards his room.

I ran back to my closet and went through everything I had. I came across an old gray t-shirt that I hardly ever wore, until now. HeHe. It was kinda long and had a skull printed on it in black ink. Red ink was also apparent in the mix which kinda looked like blood. Even though it's the beginning of October and everyone else is wearing jeans, I get hot. So I thought I would match it with a denim skirt. Black heels and jewelry topped everything off. Black feather earrings, black and red gemmed three tier necklace, along with my black onyx ring and gothic style bracelet with blood red.

I grabbed everything along with my cosmetics case and ran into Alice's bathroom. Since I knew that one of the boys would be in the other. As I expected, Alice was sitting in front of her vanity mirror doing her makeup.

"Morning chickie!" She said while looking at me through the mirror and doing her eye shadow.
"Morning!" I said after dropping everything on the bed and running into the bathroom.
"In a hurry?"
"Very! Em woke me up in time though!" I yelled over the sound of the hot spraying water.

I had to hurry in the shower to make sure I wasn't late. I had shaved the other night so I was good for today. But I had to soak up with the strawberry scented shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Less than ten minutes later, I was out. I dried off and threw on the red lace thong and bra combo set. I was towel drying my hair when Alice walked in.

"What's up with you?" She asked while folding her arms over her chest and leaning against the door frame.

I grabbed the hand drier and went to work on my hair. This morning I didn't have time to straighten it. So just a quick dry and it would be its usual wavy self.

"What you mean?" I asked more than a bit confused.
"With you and Emmett?"
"Oh….that."
"Yeah that. What's up?" There went the mother in here again.

"Well we're kinda dating now." I said as a smile came across my face.
"Preppy Rose is going out with Punk Emmett?"
"Hey for your information I never did like those damn clothes. I just wore them to make you know who happy." I said walking past her to the black, white and pink bed.

After I put everything on I did my makeup. Not much just powder, of course black eyeliner, and the black smokey eye shadow (what I always do).

"Well are you happy now?" She asked concerned for me.
"Yes I am. Believe it or not. Emmett makes me smile all the time. He doesn't mind hanging out with me and I love being with him."

I walked over to her full length mirror to get a look at the new Rose. Not bad if I do say so myself. Black really does look good on me. And so does this stuff from Hot Topic. With a twist I looked at Alice.

"Whatcha think?" I said throwing my arms out and doing a little twist around.
"Well I've never seen you wear something like that. I'm use to the old Rose…but, to be honest it looks really good. You could pull stuff like that off all the time."
"Thanks."
"And I think you and Emmett make a really good couple."

That stopped me dead in my tracks. I wasn't expecting that from Alice, let alone anyone right now.

"Thanks Alice. That means a lot to me."
"No problem. Now go. Emmett is coming down the hall."

I grabbed my dirty clothes and walked out of Alice's bedroom door, shutting it behind me. When I turned around there was Emmett. How did she know he was coming?

"Whoah!" It was kinda funny to watch his eyes almost pop out of his head.
"What?"
"I didn't think that you had anything like that in your closet."
"Well now you do. Come on." I said with a small laugh and walked down to my bedroom.

I walked over and put the dirty clothes in the hamper in the corner of the room. When I turned around Emmett was staring me up and down.

"Okay what is up with you?" I asked as I got my purse off the long pitch black dresser.
"You don't know how hard it is for me right now to not rip those clothes off of you and lay you on that bed."
"Well same here Mr. Metallica." I said with a slight laugh.

He did look pretty hot in his school clothes. A dark gray pair of cargo shorts, black Metallica shirt with gold writing, and a black pair of DC shoes with neon green and white on the sides. The white gold ring, almost looking like a wedding band, was on his right middle finger. On his right wrist was a black leather bracelet with some type of symbol etched into metal. The black marble pendant necklace and Avenged Sevenfold dog tag was a nice touch to the mixture.

I walked up to him with purse in hand, "Maybe later we might do something. That is if I'm ready."
"That's fine with me. You know I'll wait" He said wrapping me in his arms.
"That's good to know. Cause no one has waited on me before."
"Well I will. But we do need to go before we are late. We will talk later about this. Kay?"
"Alright. Can I ride with you?"
"Of course. I don't want anything happening to you. So you are staying by my side all day."
"Alright then, come on if we're gonna be late. My bag is in my car." I pulled the keys out of my purse and walked hand in hand with Emmett up to the garage.

Emmett grabbed my bag from the back seat of the car and got everything ready in his while I moved the BMW. After he pulled the Hummer out I took my original parking spot. Edward had already left with Bella for school, while Alice was hitching a ride with Jasper and Jacob. When I got in the Hummer all I heard was some song talking about burying a guy with his guns on.

"What is the name of that song?" I asked a little confused because I had never heard the song or the band before.
"'Bury Me With My Guns On'. It's by Bobaflex."
"Nice. Never heard of em."
"What don't like it?"
"No I do. It makes me think of killing Royce." I said with a smile.
"Rose that isn't nice you know." Emmett scolded me.
"Well from what he did. I would so have someone to bury me with guns so I could shoot the bastard when I come back and haunt his ass." I said with a laugh.
"But still, you shouldn't think like that."
"I know. I got you to kick his ass if anything happens."

He grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers. "You know it babe. Aint nuttin gonna happen to you while I'm around."
"Good. Because I don't think I would be able to handle it. But promise me one thing."
"What's that?"
"That if the time comes for you to do something about it, you don't get caught or go to jail or something. Kay?"
"I can't really promise anything about the jail bit. But I will promise to not get caught if possible." He stated with the dimpled smile growing on his face.
"That works for me." I said with a smile.

I hit the replay button on the CD player to start the 'Guns On' song over again. Emmett didn't mind, which was really cool. I replayed the song so much that I knew every word. Eventually Emmett and I sang the song together which made me feel really good. I had never done that before. The crazy thing was that we were singing it pulling into the school parking lot with the windows down. Full bass thumping and song blazing which got us some stares from the other kids. A new and different way of staring than what I was use to.

After the Hummer cut off I realized where we were parked. Jasper and Edward were already parked beside of us. Or more like we parked beside of them. But we were at the front of the school. I then got the crap scared out of me when Alice popped up from nowhere and stuck her head in my window.

"Hey Em have it loud enough? I think the people in China heard you." She stated with a laugh.
"For your info I didn't do it this time." He said while looking at me.

I looked back and forth between my best friend and boyfriend. "Alright! I did it. It was a good song and it got me pumped." I turned to Emmett. "Now I know why you listen to this stuff."

"That's not the only reason I listen to it. Most of the lyrics have some serious meaning behind them. You just have to listen to what they are saying. The drums and stuff aint that bad either I might add."
"You're already becoming a bad influence on me."
"Hey! Don't blame that on me. You liked it too." He stated matter of factly.
"I know. I know. We need to go so we aren't late. More talky later."

I opened the door and jumped out. The only people that had seen me in my outfit this morning was Alice and Emmett. So everyone was surprised when they got a good look at what I was wearing.

"Rose?" Bella asked.

I turned around while pulling my bag out of the backseat of the Hummer.

"What are you wearing?" Edward asked in a fatherly tone of voice.
"Something I had in my closet. What don't like it? Do you want the preppy Rose back?" I said a little annoyed while placing my hands on my hips.
"It's different." He stated.
"But sweet!" Jasper said while walking up to Alice and I.
"Totally!" Jacob yelled while looking over the top of the car and giving me a once over.

Emmett walked up beside me and handed me a black zip up jacket. "I thought you might get cold."

"Thanks. I forgot mine at the house." I gave him a quick peck on the lips. Which really got everyone looking. I mean in our little group that is. No one really knew about Emmett and I being a thing. Except for Alice that is. But she had only found out this morning. Jacob had his suspicions about us since yesterday morning. But, I had never said anything to him.

"So what you're taken now?" Jacob asked while walking up to join our little group
I glanced up at Emmett with a smile. "Yeah. I am."
"Damnit! There went my chance. But I told you so." He said looking at Emmett with a pearly white smile.
"Yup. And we better go before we're late." Emmett stated while taking my bag.

I put the Avenged Sevenfold jacket on, but didn't bother zipping it up. My purse was the only thing left in the Hummer of mine. Less than ten seconds later it was on my shoulder and I was taking Emmett's hand to walk into the school.

All the looks that I had got when I was with Royce were magnified tenfold when they saw I was with Emmett. I really didn't know what the big deal was. When we actually got into the school, all talking ceased and eyes were on me. Well me and Emmett. I don't think he has ever gotten this much attention in his life. Which would scare the hell out of me. But for some reason it didn't bother him.

"You okay?" He said while looking down at me and giving my hand a squeeze.
"Yeah. Just weird I guess."
"Let it go. It don't really matter what people think. The only thing that does matter is that you're safe with me."
"And happy I might add." I stated with a smile.
"That too."

We walked the halls hand in hand until we got right at the door to our first class. Then it came. What I had been expecting all morning and wasn't ready for yet.

"Well well well. Look what the cat drug in boys."

The skin on the back of my neck rose to end. My hands started to sweat and all the rage that I had suppressed over the weekend was starting to rise again. I turned to see Royce with his boys walking in our direction.

"What do you want?" I said without losing it too much.
"Oh nuttin. Just wondering how you were doing Rosey bear."
"Do NOT call me that."
"What's the matter? Don't like that name anymore? You use to love it."
"Royce! I'm warning you. Go about your business and leave me alone."

He walked a little closer to Emmett and I. Close enough that I could smell him now. The smell that I use to love was now making me gag. I had to hold back from puking on him. Which wasn't a very bad idea right now.

"What you gonna do Rosey? Slap me?"

I looked up at Emmett and gave a slight head nod in Royce's direction. The slight head nod I gave that followed must have given it away.

"Royce! I'm giving you a chance to go on and leave Rose alone." He stated pulling me into his side.

The look Royce gave me was one of disgust. The looking between both of us then just at me had me boiling more.

"You're not serious are you Rose? This piece of shit?"
"For your information Emmett isn't a piece of shit. Unlike you." I said giving him a once over.
"You have no idea what you're missing."
"I could care less when I got someone who actually cares about me."
"He don't care about you! He just wants to get in your pants."
"If that were true, then he would be just like you. But he's not. So fuck off and go find your skank."
"You bitch!"

In the blink of an eye, Emmett pushed me behind him and was taking the blow from Royce. It was funny watching Royce hurt his self. I knew Emmett had a hard chest. But, I didn't really know how hard. Until I saw how Royce was shaking his hand around, like he had hit a brick wall. Emmett on the other hand was still standing his ground. This showed me that he really could stand up to anyone, or anything for that matter. But what had me puzzled was how fast Emmett moved me. Which granted it was quick. But no one moves that fast except for vampires.

"You bastard! I think I broke my hand."
"Well if you did then you deserve it. Thinking you could treat Rose like that. Let alone any other girl that goes to this school." Emmett stated matter of factly.
"You're gonna wish that you never did that."
"Well you're the idiot that was swinging. I just stood there. So they got nuttin on me dumbass."
"Come on Em lets go." I said pulling his arm. The only thing was that he wasn't listening to me. "Em?"

"Yeah?" He said while still starring Royce down.
I shook him a little. "Baby come on. Please?"

He looked down at me and for a second all I saw was black eyes. They soon turned to the golden brown color that I was use to seeing. It was like all the hatred that he had for Royce was gone. That the only thing left that I could see in his eyes was the love and concern for me.

"Alright." He said grabbing my waist and pulling me against him.

Surprisingly our first period teacher, Mrs. Simpson, had seen the whole thing. She just took her sweet time getting out here to do something about it. Maybe she was letting Royce get a taste of his own medicine?

"Royce King!" Her deep voice was somewhat scary if you didn't know her.
"What?" He said still holding his hand.
"Don't you even think of taking that tone with me mister. Office! Now!" She said pointing down the hall. "Emmett. Rosalie."

"Ma'am?" I said looking at her and still holding onto Emmett.
"Go inside and take your seats. I'll be back shortly."
"Yes ma'am." I stated and pulled Emmett into the room with me.

After taking my seat next to Emmett, it wasn't long until Alice walked up and leaned against our desk. The smile that was planted on her face indicated she knew something we didn't. This, in turn, pissed me off a little bit.

"What are you smirking at pixie?" Em asked while getting his notebook out of his backpack.
"That Royce is getting suspended for two weeks. That's all." She said with a huge grin on her face.
"How do you know that? They should just be walking into the office right now."

"She has abilities to see things like this." I said then thought for a second. It sounded weird, but, with the things that have been going on lately it wouldn't surprise me. "Which in a way is cool. When it comes to things like this." I said with a smile in her direction.

"Thank you Rose. At least someone around here thinks it's cool." She stated as the smile turned into a frown.

"I think it's cool. You know things before they happen. Who wouldn't want to know what is going to happen in their lives? I mean whether it be for good or bad. I would." He said relaxing more into his chair.

"I know right? I mean yeah it helps out with situations like this. Or even bigger ones. But what is really cool is that most of the time I can tell when a store is going to have a sale…" Alice said then looked at me. "Which reminds me. Next Saturday Buster's is having a huge sale. Pretty much everything is going to be half off if not more. It starts at 7am so we need to get there around…" She paused and closed her eyes for a few seconds then they flew open. "…5:30am. We will be the first ones in line. And that really cute purple corset that we looked at a few weeks back will be there. I know how much you really wanted it."

"Thanks for the heads up Alice. Since I'm staying at your house I won't have to have a 3am wakeup call from you. Around 5 will be good."

"No problem." Her pixie dust ringtone went off on her phone. Which in turn meant that she had a text message. Her face lit up after reading the thing which meant that it was someone that she really wanted to talk to. "I gotta go. Yall have fun." She said with a smile as she walked off back to her seat, face planted in the phone and fingers flying over the keys.

"I wonder who that was." Emmett said looking at me.
"Probably Jasper. She's got a thing for him." I said batting my eyelashes to give a love struck action.
"Ooooohhhhh. Gotcha." He said shaking his head.
"What? I think it's cute. They have known each other for I don't know how long. Alice has pretty much liked him since the day she set eyes on him."

"Well they need to hurry up and get together or something. This crap is getting on my nerves."
"Your nerves? I'm the one that has to deal with Ms. Pixie's nonstop talking about him."
"Well it's about the same thing with Jasper."

I looked at him like he had grown two heads. Jasper likes Alice? Well it's kind of obvious. I mean they are always together and talking. But why haven't they started dating?

"Well hopefully they will do something about it. I'm getting tired of her talking…about him I mean."
"We'll let them worry about it. The time will come sooner or later."
"More sooner than later I hope. Enough about Alice. What was up with you and Royce?"
"What do you mean?" He said a bit confused.
"I mean. The way you two were staring each other down. I thought he hurt you when you took that punch for me."
"Rose I work out all the time when I'm not at school. Yeah it hurt, but not as much as it could have been."
"I really don't want you doing that Emmett."
"Doing what? Taking up for my girlfriend?"
"Well…no…I mean you can take up for me. You already have. I just don't want anything happening to you. Royce can be stupid at times."
"You got that right."
"Em I'm serious. When someone pisses him off, he doesn't stop. Until he knows that particular person isn't going to do him any harm…he won't stop."
"Well I guess it's time for someone to show Mr. King an attitude adjustment."
"Just promise me that you won't get hurt or in trouble. Please?"

I don't know what all I could have said for Emmett to promise me that. But it really didn't take much for him to listen to me.

"Alright. I won't get hurt. Make you happy?" He said pulling me to him.
"Yes…and thanks again." I said leaning into his side. His arm went from behind me to my shoulder and pulled me closer.
"You're welcome. But remember I said I wasn't gonna have anything happen to you. Right?"
"Yeah. I know you won't."

I tilted my head up to look at him. Which he must have felt me moving cause he looked down at me.

"At least you're hot and smart…not just hot."
"Emmett." I said slapping his chest.
"What? Can't I pick with you?"
"Yeah I guess. But still."

"I can fix this." The serious tone coming back to his voice.
"How do you plan on doing that?"
"Like this." He leaned down and kissed me fully on the lips. Not just a peck either. There was more passion in it, but not as much as what I wanted. Even though my breathing ceased for a few seconds and my heart rate went through the roof. It was a great feeling that I had never had with anyone else. After a minute or so he broke it and looked me squarely in the eyes. "Am I forgiven?"

Sucking my bottom lip for a minute I took a second to think. "For now…yes." I said with a smile.
"Good." That dimpled smile that I was falling in love with came out. "Love you."
"Love you too." He gave me another quick kiss.

If he keeps this up I'm gonna lose it. I can only take so much. Right now he is pushing it. I leaned my head back onto his chest and waited for the teacher to come in. Which was another good 15 minutes or so. This gave the rest of the class, except for Alice, enough time to whisper about me and Emmett being a thing. Or talk about Royce and I breaking up. Pretty much if it had anything to do with Emmett, me or Royce everyone was talking about it.

I was relieved when Mrs. Simpson walked through that door. Everyone shut up talking about me and everything that had happened. It was starting to get on my nerves. Plus I knew that it had to be getting on Emmett's nerves just listening to them. The 90 minute math lesson was boring for the most part. But having Emmett beside me the entire time was a joy. Yes I took notes during class. Something Emmett didn't do for some reason. Maybe he got everything the teacher was talking about. Good…he can help me with homework if I need it.

When the bell rang everyone grabbed their belongings and headed for the door. Me and Emmett was the same way. Alice was the only one that hung back to walk with us.

"Alright I'm off to Chemistry. Yall two have fun, but behave please?" Alice said walking down the hall to the right.
"I'm not promising a thing pixie." Emmett stated pulling me to him by the hip.
"I know. Bye!"

"I hate school." For some reason if something was on my mind, I let everyone know it.
"I do too babe. But we gotta do it."
"I'm so ready to get out of this place."
"We will…in a few hours."
"I didn't mean like that Em."
"I know what you mean Ro. It's okay though. Remember I'm with you ALL day." The smile coming back on his face.
"I know. That's the only reason I'm still going right now."
"That's my girl."

The walk from math to English wasn't that far. The only thing was that Emmett wasn't sitting beside me. His seat was in front of me. How is he gonna pull this one off? We've been touching pretty much ever since we got up this morning. The seats in English were like any other school desk. The hardest and ugliest wood that one person could possibly find,with the attached flat top for a hard surface to write on. The small space between the edge of the top and the back of the chair wasn't fun. There wasn't enough space for me to turn sideways, let alone Emmett. But, surprisingly he did. With legs spread apart we were touching in a had it where my legs were hardly apart, but, my left leg was on top of his left. It was actually comfort. I mean with us being in school and all.

Mr. Merrington, our English teacher, wouldn't allow talking. Only when we had a group project to do were we allowed to talk. Today was no different. There wasn't a project which meant no talking. So, that 90 minutes went by slow.

Next class up was Computer Applications. Not really that hard, unless there was something that you didn't understand. The room was set up with 26 computers. I guess some classes were bigger than others cause our class only had 18 people excluding Emmett and myself. Mrs. Mozingo was pretty cool though. We could listen to music and talk, as long as we got our assignments done. Some of them were done with a partner, which was always the person beside you. In my case that was Emmett. I took my seat in the far right back corner while Emmett did the same.

"Finally a class I can handle." I said looking at him with a smile.
"Why is that?" He said while we both typed in our logon information.
"Cause for one I can actually talk to you without getting in trouble."
"Uh huh. There's gotta be something else."
"The other is cause there is nothing holding you back from actually touching me." I said with a smile.
"Do you like me holding you or something?"
"Yeah. I feel safe when I'm in your arms or just touching you."
"Good to know."

He grabbed ahold of my legs and pulled them across his lap. "Emmett!"

"What? You said that you like me touching you."
"Well yeah but a little warning next time would be nice."
"Fine. Next time I will warn you."
"That's all I'm asking for."
"Alright do your work missy."
"Fine."

The first 15 minutes consisted of finishing up my work for the week. I printed everything off and took it up to Mrs. Mozingo's desk.

"Rosalie?"
"Yes ma'am?" There were so many things running through my head at that moment. Was I in trouble? Of course not. I didn't do anything.
"From what I have seen since you have started this class you and Emmett make a great partnership."
"That's because we work so well together and listen to each other."
"Very true. That is why I have been talking with the yearbook team and they would like both of you to help out."

Oh. Well this is a surprise. Nothing like what I was expecting.

"What do you mean by help out exactly?" I was really curious to what they wanted us to do. And anything with me working with Emmett I would do in a heartbeat.

"As you know the Computer Apps teachers help out with the yearbook. Taking pictures and helping out with designing pages. Things like that."

"I knew they helped out some. But, I wasn't aware of what all they did."

"Well now you do." She said with a smile. "I've talked to the other CA teachers along with the yearbook team. They are short staffed at the moment so we were wondering if you and Emmett would be willing to help out?"

"Can I talk with him and find out?"

"Of course. If you are wondering how long you would be working it would take up the last 3 classes of the day. And we do it in either this room or Mr. Miller's class room across the hall."

"If Emmett would want to, could we just stay in here? I mean in our regular seats in the back? We would be out of the way of your other classes and would keep to ourselves. If that would be ok? To be honest I wouldn't want to be over in Mr. Miller's room. I don't know him that well."

"That would be perfectly fine."
"What would we do about our other classes though? I mean the ones that we are already taking fourth, fifth and sixth period?"
"I will take care of that. You go talk to Emmett and let me know your decision after while."
"Okay."

I walked back to the back of the room and took my seat beside Emmett. He must have figured that something was up because for one it took so long for me to get back to him. The other must have been the confused facial expression I had.

"Babe what's going on? You're not in trouble are you?"
"For one, when do I ever get in trouble Emmett?"
"Right. So what's going on?"
"Mrs. Mozingo is wanting me and you to help out on the yearbook."
"So….what's your point?"
"My point is that me and you would be in this room for 4 periods."
"And you have a problem with that?" He said rubbing my leg, then pulling them both on his lap again.
"Well I don't. That would give me more time with you."
"Uh huh. So…what's your point?"
"My point is that EVERYONE in this school is going to be looking at the yearbook. Which means we would have to come up with something very impressive."

"Well with our two heads we could come up with something really cool."
"So this means you want to do it?"
"If it gives me more time to be with you doing whatever besides really working…then sign me up." He said then gave me a kiss. "We'll come up with one bangin yearbook. Better than all that other crap that we have had over the years."

"Alright then."

I walked back up to Mrs. Mozingo's desk right when the bell rang for lunch.

"Mrs. M?"
She looked up at me. "Yes Rosalie?"
"I talked with Emmett about the yearbook."
"And what is your decision?"
"Yes we will do it."
"Great. I will tell the other teachers at lunch. You will start today after this period. And don't worry about your teachers I will inform them there has been a change in yall's schedules."
"Thank you Mrs. M."
"No thank you Rose. We really needed the help. Now run off. Go eat."
"Okay."

I walked out the classroom door and took a left. I didn't see Emmett walk out, but, he was right there waiting for me.

"So…" He said moving from leaning against the wall and walking with me to the stairs.
"So what?"
"What is the verdict?"
"We start today. So no fourth, fifth or sixth period." I said looking back at him while I walked down the stairs towards the cafeteria. I waited for him at the end of the stairs.

"So what exactly will we be doing?" He took ahold of my hand and intertwined our fingers.
"Well from what she said pretty much everything. I mean not all of the writing, just the way the layouts are I guess. She should show us some stuff when we start. I know they use a different program for the layouts and things of that sort."
"Well we shall see."
"Uh huh."
"You want something to eat?"
"Yeah. I'm starved." I said as a low growl started in my stomach.
"What you want?"
"Pizza and fries…and sweet tea please."
"That it?"
"Yeah…unless you think of anything else." I said with a smile.
"Go get us a seat with Alice. I'll get the food."
"You sure?"
"Yes babe. Now go." He said pushing me a little with his shoulder.

I gave him a kiss then headed in the direction of our table. Alice and Bella were already sitting down waiting on the guys to get there. I knew Edward was getting Bella's food. Alice on the other hand already had her tray in front of her. Salad and fruit with tea. Something I would so not eat every day. I don't think I could handle it. Plus I need my pizza and tea. I took a seat in front of Alice.

"I'm sorry." Was the first thing that came out of Alice's mouth.
"About what?"
"Everyone running their mouths."
"I don't mind. Let them talk. If they can't find something else or someone else to pick on then there is something seriously wrong with them." I said leaning back in my chair.

"You tell em Rose. I feel the same, but you know I would never say anything like that." Bella said.
"Bella it's not that you don't want to. It's just that you are shy. Once we get you out of that then you will be fine."
"That is if I ever get out of it."
"Get out of what?" Jacob asked.

I turned around to see Edward, Emmett, Jasper and Jacob walking up to take their seats. All four of them had a tray full of food. One thing I could say about these boys of ours is that they can eat. Edward took his seat beside Bella and gave her some of the food. Same thing with Jasper and Emmett. Jacob was the only one that had the tray all to his self.

"Thanks." I said looking at Emmett.
"Welcome. Did you tell them what's changed?"
"No. I was going to let you tell them." I took a bite of the huge slice of pepperoni pizza.
Jasper looked at us strange. "What are yall two talking about?"
"You know Mrs. Mozingo right?" Emmett stated then crammed four fries in his mouth.
"Yeah. What's up with her?" Jacob asked.
"Well she's wanting me and Rose to work on the yearbook. Rose has already told her yes, which means that we won't really have a fourth through sixth period." More food into the mouth.

"Do what?" Jacob said in mid strike with food going to his mouth.
"How did you pull that off?" Jasper asked.

"Mrs. Mozingo said that me and Emmett make a great team and do some really good work. I guess she has been bragging to her friends about it and since they needed help with the yearbook they all said that we would be a big help." I said and crammed some food into my mouth. With some sweet tea to wash it down with I started again. "So after I talked with Em I told her yes. We start today after this period. That means…we won't be in our last three classes with you guys."

"Well that sucks. Now who am I gonna throw shit at? Emmett was the only one that would play around in class." Jacob said.

"Throw stuff at Edward." I said with a laugh.
"Come on! You know Edward aint the playin around type."
"True." I paused to think of something else. "I got nuttin. Guess you just gonna have to pay attention then."
"That aint no fun though."
"School isn't about having fun. It's about learning stuff to use in the real world." Edward said real seriously.
"Yeah…but you're supposed to have fun while you're in school too. You only live once dude."

Emmett chuckled beside of me, which in turn, made me stare at him. Mouthing the word "what" only got me to shake my head. The rest of lunch was like any other, everyone cramming their faces full of food, while others gossiped about things going on in the school. Which the talking was mainly about Emmett and me.

Once back up in the room, I took my seat with Emmett next to me. I helped him finish up the rest of his work for the week which didn't take long. Mrs. Mozingo came up to us after Emmett turned all of his work in.

"Alright since both of you are done with your work I'll go ahead and explain what it is yall will be doing."

She showed us how to pull up the program that the yearbook team used for everything. That only took a minute or so.

"So the main thing that you two will be doing is the layouts and designs. There are others that will write up all the stories and all you have to do is put the pictures with it." She said.

"Is there already a theme that has been decided on?" I asked so I would know what we were working with here.

"No. There hasn't. So if you come up with one or a few let me know."
"I have one in mind right now."
"What is that Rose?"
"Signature. Since everyone has their own unique way of writing and lifestyle they leave a signature on the school in some way." I said. I didn't know if it was good enough but it was worth a shot.

She thought about it for a minute. "You know that is true in a way. I think that would do just fine. But how would you plan on doing it?"

"Well maybe get all of the seniors to write their name on a piece of paper and use them throughout the book?"

"That would work. You two go ahead and start with that."
"How would we start with that? Because I don't know a lot of the seniors."
"I'll give you passes. Go down to the office and tell Ms. Turner that you need a list of all seniors and their next couple classes."
"Is there any way we could get a couple of our friends to help out with this? I mean so we could have this done by the end of the day and really start on it tomorrow."
"I don't see why not. I like the way you think Rosalie."
"Thank you. Could I have Ms. Turner page them instead of going around and getting them out of their classes?"
"Yes. Just tell her their names. If you know what classes they are in that would help to. Let me get the passes for you and yall can start."

She went over to the room beside of us using the very small connecting hallway. A few minutes later she was walking back through the door and in our direction. She had not just two, but a stack of passes in her hand. I guess they were for the yearbook team.

"Here you go." She said handing them to me. "You didn't say how many you were going to need, so I hope that is enough."
"It's plenty. Thank you. We are going to need some black sharpies and blank paper though."
"Go get the list and your friends. Bring them back up here with their stuff because it won't be long until the bell rings. I'll have it ready for you."
"Kay. Thanks Mrs. M."
"No problem. Now go." She said shooing us away and walking back to her seat.

I looked over at Emmett and gave him a smile. "Well you heard her….go." I said with a laugh.
"Yes mother." He said standing up.

The walk down to the office wasn't that far. I knew Ms. Turner was going to be either sitting at her desk or helping students with something. I was right. When I walked in the tall, pudgy, short brown haired lady looked up from the computer screen at Emmett and I.

"Rosalie? What are you doing out of class?" She asked.
"Mrs. Mozingo has me and Emmett working on the yearbook with her and the others. And I need your help."
"Oh…well what do we need?" She stated while getting up from her desk and walking over to the long black topped counter.

"Well first some of our friends were going to help us out, so we could get this done today. Could you page them for us?"

"Of course. Who are we talking about?" She grabbed a piece of paper and a pen.
"Alice Cullen. She is in Mrs. Holbrook's class right now. Edward Cullen and Isabella Swan. They are in Mr. Reeder's. Jasper Hale and Jacob Black. They are in Karen Miller's right now."

She wrote the last ones down and looked at us. "Is that all?"
"Yes for that part…Oh! Mrs. M said to tell them to bring their things with them since the bell is going to ring in just a little bit."
"Will do."

It was about five or ten minutes later when Ms. Turner had everyone paged and they were on their way. The next part would be the list.

"Alright. Part one done, what is part two?" She asked walking back over from her desk.
"I need a print out of all the seniors and what classes they have for the rest of the day."
"Alright that might take a little bit though."
"Like how long?"
"About 20 minutes to get everything printed."
"That's alright. We can wait."
"Ok. Just don't be making a bunch of noise please."
"Will do."

Emmett and I walked outside into the hallway in case anyone else needed in. There was no point in having EVERYONE in the office when they didn't need to be there.

"So how do you plan on doing this?" Emmett said while pulling me to his chest.
"Plan on doing what?"
"The signatures."
"Oh that. I'm gonna send groups out to do them. Give each group a list of rooms to hit then they come back to us. Simple."
"If you say so."

I was going to have a comeback for him, but I was interrupted with talking coming down the hall. As I expected it was Alice talking to Jasper and Jacob about her having to come to the office.

"How am I supposed to know what's going on here?" Alice said in a squeaky voice.
"Maybe because you see things into the future. Just saying." That would be Jacob with his loud mouth.
"Alice you're not in trouble."
"How do you know that Jasper?"
"Because you never do anything to get in trouble. You never break the rules…that's Jacob and Emmett's job." He said with a laugh.
"True dat. This school wouldn't be nuttin if it wasn't for Emmett and me."

Just then they turned the corner and saw us.

"Did they call you too?" Alice asked. "OhmyGod! Emmett what did you get us into?"
"I didn't do anything." Emmett said still holding me.
"Then why are we here?" A very frustrated Alice said.
"Wait til Edward and Bella gets here and I'll explain." I said laying my head on Emmett's chest.
"So that means you had something to do with this missy." Alice said pointing her finger at me.

"Yes mother I did. You're not in trouble so chill out. We just need yall's help with something."
"What you needing help with?" Jasper asked sticking a earphone in his left ear.
"Like I said, I will explain when Edward and Bella get here."

A few minutes later Edward and Bella walked up to our little group.

"Great! They're here…now explain." Alice said leaning against the wall behind me and Emmett.

I turned around so I was facing Alice and the rest of the group. I laid my hands on top of Emmett's which were now laying on my stomach while he pulled me back towards his chest.

"Yall aint in trouble. We just your help…maybe for the rest of the day." I stated.

The good news got Jacob to hoot and holler.

"Lower your voice. I don't want to get in trouble." Alice scolded us like our mothers would. She then looked back at me. "Go on Rose."

"Thanks Alice." I smiled at her then started talking again. "Ms. Turner is printing out a list of all the seniors and their last classes. We're gonna go out in groups and all you have to do is have all the seniors write their names on a blank piece of paper in a black sharpie. Easy. When you're done you just come back up to Mrs. Mozingo's room."

"You got us out of class for this?" Edward said.
"Well…yea. I need your help so we can have it done and start on the yearbook tomorrow."
"Come on Edward you're smart enough. You can miss a class or two." Jacob said leaning against the wall.
"Who's gonna be in the groups?" He asked a little scared that I was going to put him with someone like Jacob I guess.

"You and Bella, Alice and Jasper, me, Emmett and Jacob. Happy? You get to do it with Bella."
"Yeah. Better now. I thought you were going to send me out with Jacob or something."
"I'm not THAT bad you know."

This was going to be a crazy few hours. But, hopefully no one would get in trouble or break anything.
