I'm baaack! I'd like the thank LawfullyDecietfulElly again and Shara2007 for your reviews. You're awesome.
I just realized I've forgotten my disclaimer, but everybody knows Stephanie Meyer owns these characters. Except Skye and Storm, they're mine. Hehehe.

I was bluffing.
I knew I wouldn't be able to beat Emmett at an arm wrestle. He was probably the biggest guy in the school by the looks of it. Some people looked almost scared of him. I laughed at the thought.
Emmett and I were sitting in the car park, leaning against the hood of my car. Well, Georgia's car. I hoped Emmett wouldn't do any damage to it when we wrestled.
Bella, Edward, Jasper and Alice were crowded around us to watch. They all had worried looks on their faces. Especially Edward.
'Emmett, I don't think this is a good idea.' he said cautiously. What was everybody's problem? It was just a little arm wrestle. It won't kill anyone. Will it?
'Oh come on Ed. It's just a little fun.' Emmett replied. Edward winced. I'm guessing he doesn't like nicknames very much.
'I agree with Edward, Emmett. You might hurt her. No, you will hurt her.' Bella agreed worriedly. I raised an eyebrow at them.
'I'm not that weak.' I said.
'You are to him.' Jasper said. I hadn't heard him speak before. His slight accent indicated he was from Texas. I doubted anyone else could tell that.
'I'll be careful.' Emmett promised, holding up his arm to gesture it was time to start. I smirked and grabbed hold of his hand.
'Got that ambulance ready?' I asked.
Emmett laughed, 'Yeah,' he said, 'for you.'
'I'm so scared.' I said sarcastically. His grasp on my hand tightened. His hand was very warm...
'Emmett.' Alice said, in a warning tone. He just ignored her.
'Let's do this.' he mumbled.
'Right. One... two... three!' I hollered.
Too easy. Emmett wasn't half as strong as he looked. I expected him to completely amputate my arm. But my arm barely strained to keep up, and eventually overruled his "strength". His face was tightening, and I smirked. I had made it hard for him to win.
After a few seconds of stalling, I used all the strength I could muster to beat him. I really didn't need to use that much strength, it looked like if I had only used half my strength I would have beat him.
There was a loud thump as Emmett's hand slammed against the car, with my hand on top. I heard everybody gasp, perhaps in horror.
'Ha! Take that!' I said happily, taking my hand off of Emmett's and looking at him for his reaction.
His eyes were wide and confused, and his mouth was agape. As was everybody else. Edward, Bella, Alice, Jasper... they were all looking at me with utter disbelief.
I looked down at the hood of Georgia's car where I had slammed Emmett's hand onto it. There was a huge dent.
'Ah crap.' I mumbled, taking a closer look at it. Would Georgia notice? I hoped not.
It stayed silent, so I looked up again to see that nobody's expression had changed.
Thinking it was none of my business, I said, 'Well, I'd better get going. See if I can fix this ding before Georgia gets home.'
They all snapped out of their trances when I got in the bright yellow car.
'Hey, I remembered which side to sit at this time!' I said proudly, before starting the engine. They were still silent, so I waved and drove out of the car park.
What was up with them? Did I do something weird? I didn't think so... maybe they underestimated my strength or something. I certainly did. I couldn't believe I actually beat Emmett at an arm wrestle; he was the biggest guy in the school. And I was like... the smallest girl in the school. A pretty big achievement I reckon.
'You're a great actor, Emmett.' I heard Alice say behind me.
I know it was wrong... but it was hard to keep away from their conversation. I stopped the car on the side of the road, out of sight, to listen to what Alice was talking about.
'What do you mean?' Emmett asked quizzically.
'It actually looked like you were straining against that girl.' Jasper agreed, a bit of worry in his tone.
Were they saying he was faking it? That he let me win? Oh hell no.
'Huh?' Emmett said, confused.
'Lucky you did let her win... you could have hurt her badly.' Bella said, relieved.
Although I couldn't see them, I could tell Emmett was looking at them with a puzzled expression.
'I didn't let her win.' Emmett said, finally getting it.
Alice laughed, 'Good one Emmett.'
They stayed silent for a split second. I felt relieved. He didn't let me win, thank god. Unless he was just lying to them to protect me...
'No guys... he did let her win.' Edward confirmed.
I heard everybody take a quick, staggered breath. They were shocked to hear that I had actually beaten Emmett. Sweet, sweet satisfaction. Some girls are stronger than guys.
'You mean... she actually beat him?!' Bella gasped.
Why did they suddenly believe it when Edward confirmed it? Was he the leader or something? They didn't believe Emmett when he said he didn't let me win. So why did they believe Edward?
'She did.' Emmett said.
I think they were exaggerating a bit. It wasn't that amazing. They were acting as if I'd just killed somebody. Was Emmett really that strong?
'But... how?' Jasper asked, flabbergasted.
I decided to leave then. They needed their privacy; they didn't need me eavesdropping anymore.
As I continued to drive down the street, I heard one last word come from Emmett's mouth.
'Incredible!'
Sorry
the chapter was so short. The next one will be much longer, I
promise!
