TA – Chapter 3

AN – Here's the next chapter! Obviously I didn't update because of Christmas, hope you all had a merry holiday by the way! Read and review, and obviously, enjoy!

"The next award is for...human of the year!" A slight groan went out, and all the vampires in the room slunk back against their seats, the werewolves looked confused to whether or not they still counted as humans. The opinion differed between species. Right now Laurent and Paul were arguing about it, across tables. Bella and Jacob rolled their eyes, some things never change. Stephenie coughed into the microphone to call attention back to the room, other people were joining in the argument now.

"Well all I'm saying is that technically you're not really human" Laurent pointed out calmly.

"Look at me! Of course I am!" Paul pointed to himself, he was dressed in a black and white suit, which actually made him look presentable for once.

"He has a point" Victoria butted in.

"Why are you getting involved?" Paul asked, shouting right in her face.

"I'll kill your loved ones!"

"Is that a threat?" Paul asked menacingly. James snorted.

"If that isn't then I don't know what is" Victoria joined in and cackled with James.

"Ugh, you're not a vampire, you're a witch. Are you sure you're not going to boil us in your cauldron then fly away on your broomstick?" Embry asked, backing up Paul.

"I don't eat dogs" she wrinkled her nose at the thought, as if the smell had suddenly repulsed her.

"Oh, are we not good enough for the human killing witch?" Embry taunted. The Cullens were surprised Sam hadn't intervened, obviously he agreed with his fellow brothers.

"Hardly" snorted James. They had several people's attention right now, whilst most groups were having their own discussions. Away from the human/werewolf argument, Edward growled. Bella raised an eyebrow.

"Your friends are arguing over who's the hottest, me or Jasper" he looked annoyed at their votes. Emmett, suddenly paying attention, dropped his jaw.

"What! Why aren't I in this argument!" Emmett said, looking over at the table of reserved for the students of Forks High School.

"So who's everyone voting for?" Esme asked. Carlisle even leaned his head slightly to hear what Edward's answer was.

"Well Jessica, Ben, Angela and Austin are going for me. But Mike, Lauren, Tyler and Eric are going for Jasper" Edward said, on the verge of growling again. Jasper grinned, and threw a grin over to the table, looking pleased with himself.

"Ugh! Jessica just said that Bella and Jasper would make a hot couple!" Edward looked repulsed, Bella looked slightly annoyed, and appraised Jasper. He laughed.

"Well, you can't argue with fan fictions" he laughed.

"What!" Alice cried, looking at her husband.

"Oh come on, you have to have seen the amount of Bella/Jasper fan fictions out there. People are rooting for us, Bella" Bella looked away awkwardly, cringing into Edward. Alice was shocked.

"That's not going to happen, Alice. Never. Just saying..." Jasper kissed her forehead and she sighed, hugging him.

"Just what are you saying, Jasper. That you think it would be a 'hot' couple?" Edward was in a very dangerous mood, Bella looked up and pleaded Jasper with her eyes to tread carefully. She was sure everyone else was thinking the same thing.

"Of course not, no offense Bella, I'm just saying that evidence doesn't lie" he shrugged and wrapped his arms around Alice.

"None taken, Jasper" Bella added, to cry and cut the atmosphere. From the stage, Stephenie groaned. Everyone looked around.

"I can't even control my own characters!" She whined, it was just a mutter but she had slumped right next to the microphone in her disdain. People straightened up and looked attentive, even if they were glaring at the people they were arguing with out of the corner of her eye.

"Right, and the winner for human of the year goes to...Charlie" Stephenie said in a bored voice. Waiting for ages had tired her out. Charlie was surprised and he was dragged out of his seat by other people and stumbled up to the stage.

"Well, thanks for this award and everything, means a lot" he said, in a gruff stage, before going right back to his seat, embarrassed. The Cullens clapped, Bella shouting 'go Charlie!' and they were the majority of the clapping. Everyone else was politely and lightly clapping.

"Right, now everyone has settled down" Stephenie looked around the room seeing if the chattering was about to break out again. It did not, so she continued. "We continue with the first ever Twilight Awards!" Two awards down, lots more to go!
