A/N: Wow . . . this is the last chapter of this story. I'm going to work on My Knight, My Salvation for a while and then I will right a spin off story to this one. Or a sequel of sorts. Any ways I hope that you've enjoyed the story and thanks to all of those who have had that patience to actually read through the whole thing and keep reading despite my long blocks between chapters! THANKS A BUNCH GUYS!
Edward wheeled me towards the principal's office, apologizing the entire way for getting me into trouble. I stopped trying to convince him that it wasn't his fault and it was worth it about 2 minutes ago. Emmett just laughed and re-enacted the whole thing, making the rest of us laugh.
When we got to the office the principal ordered us all to sit down and stay quiet. He then informed us that our parents would be called. Thankfully he couldn't get a hold of Charlie, so I only had to deal with Esme and Carlisle. And I can't really see them getting too upset over the whole thing, considering how they knew that something was going to happen.
"Hello Mrs. Cullen, this is principal Wickley from Forks high school. Your children and another student have been involved in the bullying of one of my students and I need you to come down to the school as soon as you can." Mr. Wickley stated.
The rest of the Cullen's started to snicker and I looked at them in confusion. Alice leaned forward and whispered in my ear, "Esme just asked him if he was insufficient in punishing us himself."
My mouth dropped open in shock. Esme said that? "Long story." Jasper mouthed. I nodded my head at him and then I started to giggle. Go Esme!
"No, no. I am quite sufficient. However it is required that you are present in matters such as these. Okay, okay. Thank you." He added. I guess he was on Esme's bad side. Curious and hilarious.
We were ordered to "sit quietly and think about what we'd done". Of course, I didn't do anything. But thinking about what happened made me laugh so I decided to glance around the office.
Edward sat down and looked around the room, every once in a while he would suppress a chuckle, more than likely from someone's thoughts. He caught my gaze and gave me a sheepish smile. I smiled and winked at him. He suppressed another chuckle. Rosalie looked bored, extremely bored. I gave her a quick smile and she returned it, and then went back to looking at her nails. I looked around at Jasper and Emmett and saw the tell tale signs that they were talking to each other. My head immediately swung around to Edward and Alice who practically burst out laughing. Mr. Wickley glared at them and they tried to stifle it. I frowned with a small smile. Not knowing what to expect, just knowing that it would be good.
Esme and Carlisle finally walked through the office door. Huh, maybe they both didn't want to miss a chance to act the concerned parent with inside jokes.
"Mr. and Mrs. Cullen," He seemed surprised to see them both. "Thank you for coming."
"What happened?" Esme said.
"Well, your children made a spectacle in our cafeteria today. They bullied a student into admitting her . . . sexual orientation." Everyone but the adults snorted. This was too good to be true. "Dressed her as an Oompa Loompa –"
"Actually sir, you have no proof that we did that. I mean what person in their right mind would let someone dress them as an Oompa Loompa?" Alice injected.
He ignored her. "Edward here started a food fight that did some serious damage to the cafeteria and-"
Esme and Carlisle looked at Edward in shock and he just looked smug. The rest of us started to laugh again. We were quickly silenced.
Mr. Wickley looked over at us. "What do you have to say for your selves? This is nothing to be proud about."
It was quiet for a while and then Emmett yelled out, "IT'S FUN GETTING INTO TROUBLE!"
Oh god! Jasper and Emmett were betting.
"Dude, show some love for Mr. W." Jasper said, sounding every bit like a wanna be gangster.
Emmett's face fell. "Soorry." He sang out.
Then it clicked. Games. Emmett was saying the name or catch phrase of games. And Mr. Proper Jasper was talking like a wanna be. Oh god this is going to be funny.
Everyone held in their laughter. Esme and Carlisle even looked disappointed! Man they are good at acting!
"Now, Mr. Cullen these boys –"
"It's Dr. Cullen actually." Carlisle interrupted. What the heck did Mr. Wickley do to them to be treated so rudely by Carlisle and Esme?
"OPERATION!" Emmett yelled. Rosalie smiled at him fondly and then patted his arm.
Jasper hit his back. "Sorry man, but the bro ain't all there, yah know?"
"I know very well that Emmett is fully intact. Now talk properly. What I wish to know is why you did this?"
"What I would like to know is who they did it to?" Esme said.
"I am not allowed to give out the name of stu-"
"We did it to Lauren, mom. Because of what she did." Alice said, hanging her head in fake shame.
"Lauren did nothing to –"Mr. Wickley started.
Rosalie interrupted him. "Lauren bullies Bella and we were just sticking up for her, Daddy." She looked at Carlisle with puppy eyes and he smiled at her. She then turned to Mr. Wickley and. . . I burst out laughing along with almost everyone else. Rosalie . . . she – she stuck her tongue out at the principal! The look on his face. Priceless.
Suddenly I felt brave and reckless and just restless to join in on the fun. "Be mature Rosie. We don't wanna look bad in front of Mr. Wickley. He may yell at us."
Rosalie looked over my head and smirked at Jasper. "Finally you become useful 'bro'"
"Dang right, bra!" Jasper said. Then he did some weird hand gesture.
"Don't do that to me!" I glared at him. The feelings of wanting to join in were gone. And slowly my annoyance and anger started to slip away. "Stop it."
Mr. Wickley looked at me in confusion. "He's not doing anything, Miss Swan."
I glared at Mr. Wickley.
"Yah, Bell I didn't do nothing."
"Jenga! We're getting into trouble! Now!" Emmett said.
"Alright kids. Stop it." Carlisle said, trying to put an end to the arguing.
"Yes children. Cease the violence. You're giving me a migrane." Edward stated.
"Shut up Edward!" We said in unison. Emmett in the background said. "Aggression!"
"ENOUGH!" Mr. Wickley said. "You are all old enough to act properly and this childish behaviour shall cease instantly!" His face was red and so were his hands. There was a vein sticking out of his forehead and his lips were pressed into a thin line.
"Dungeons and Dragons." Emmett said in a "holy crow you're pissed" voice.
"Whoa dude! Take a chill pill." Jasper said.
I snorted. Trust that Emmett and Jasper could make a girl cheer up.
Suddenly Alice started to smile and Edward along with her.
Esme finally spoke up, "He's right you guys, that's enough. We need to finish this discussion."
"Now," Mr. Wickley began. Trying to get back control I suppose. The poor man is in way over his head though. "Bella, is it true that Lauren was being mean to you?"
Mean to me? Seriously? What am I? Seven? Sheesh.
"Pfft. Hell to the yah Lauren was being mean to her. She was being seriously bad as-" Alice clamped a hand over Jasper's mouth and then smiled sweetly.
I rolled my eyes. "Lauren's not the nicest of people." I informed him.
"So you told the Cullen's and Hale's to bully her?" He said.
"No! Bella had nothing to do with this she-" I clamped my hand over Edward's mouth. "No sir. But I knew it was going to happen and had no problems with it." If they were going down, so was I.
"Alright. And you guys believed that it would be funny dress her as an Oompa Loompa, get her to admit to the whole school that she wasn't . . . that she liked the same . . . gender –"
"Honestly just say lesbian already. This is painful." Rosalie said. "There's nothing wrong with it."
He ignored her. "And to encourage public displays of affection in a high school and start a food fight?"
"Who wants to be a millionaire?" Emmett said in an obnoxious voice, bringing his face closer to the principal's and doing some weird jig thing.
"He means yes." Edward said. "By saying a question with an obviously yes answer, Emmett is answering – "
"I know what he means." Wickley snapped. "No you don't." Edwards said.
We all chuckled
"Well you have all put Lauren through a huge trauma that may end up in therapy."
I burst out laughing at the image of Lauren lying on a leather couch crying and professing her 'troubles' to a therapist. Everyone stared at me. I shook my head and the principal glared.
"This is not funny Miss Swan."
"Gold fish!" Emmett said.
Edward spoke up, "He means try again."
"I know what he means!" He yelled at Edward. Finally reaching his breaking point. "You will all be suspended for two weeks and receive 2 months of detention if you keep this up!"
"Deal or No deal?" Emmett questioned.
"NO DEAL!" I heard Alice scream. I snorted.
"Mr. and Mrs. Cullen, control your children."
"DR. CULLEN." We said in unison.
"Right. Anyways. We need to reach an agreement as to what the appropriate punishment shall be."
"Will you be punishing me, Mr. Wickley. I've been a good girl." Rosalie leaned forward in her chair a bit and twirled her hair around her finger. Looking innocent and flirtatious. Mr. Wickley's eyes lowered down to her cleavage and he swallowed. I saw Jasper and Edward wince and I tried not to gag. Emmett looked at him and growled. The tension in the room grew as Emmett grew angrier and Mr. Wickley's gaze did not move. Suddenly Carlisle slammed his hand on the desk, making me and Mr. Wickley jump.
"The consequences of their actions?" Carlisle stated calmly.
"Right, right. I believe that they shall be suspended for a week and each must right me a 20 page essay on why you shouldn't bully others. I believe that is fitting."
Carlisle and Esme nodded their heads in agreement. "Yes. That's very fitting. The suspension starts immediately I assume?"
"Yes." He was still glancing warily at Emmett.
"Old maid." Emmett growled, his lips slowing coming up to reveal his teeth.
"Ooh you just got burned! Mr. W, BURNED!"
"You're dismissed." He stated.
Suddenly Alice started to sob. And she ran towards Carlisle, who stood up and held her to his chest, looking confused as ever.
"Daddy he wants us to leave! And I don't wanna leave! He's being a bully!"
I tried really hard not to laugh and Alice's body shook with fake sobs and Carlisle stroked her hair to calm her down.
"Miss Cullen, I am a very busy man and I do not have time for childish behaviour."
"Liar." Edward stated.
"I am an honest man Mr. Cullen!"
"Are you smarter than a fifth grader?" Emmett asked, his voice full of curiosity.
"How dare you insinuate that I unintelligent! EVERYBODY OUT OF MY OFFICE!"
We all smiled at him. "Bye Mr. Wickley." Was said in unison. Emmett waved. Alice waved as well with a big smile on her face and then skipped out of the office. Rosalie blew him a kiss and as she walked out his eyes were on her. Emmett walked up to him a growled. "If you so much as think about touching her I will rip your limbs off and- OW OW OW OW OW!"
Esme grabbed his ear and walked out of the room, Carlisle following behind her. I looked around. It was only Jasper and I. He smiled at me and then grabbed the back of my wheel chair and pushed me out of the room. Only to be pushed out of the way by Emmett as soon as we closed the door behind us. I turned around and saw Rosalie give him a quick kiss on the cheek and a smile. Probably to let him know that the flirting was just to mess with the principal. He smiled back at her and then turned to me. "Wanna know the best thing about being a vampire Bella?"
Edward whipped around and growled. "Don't you dare Emmett."
"Strength." Emmett said, completely ignoring Edward.
What the heck does he mean strength? Oh no . . . please no. My heart started to race in overtime as Emmett pushed my wheelchair straight down the hall with a great amount of strength. And despite all my sudden visions of crashing straight into the wall, I smiled. Flying through the hall on a wheel chair felt a lot like running with Edward. It was sorta fun.
I came to an abrupt stop and looked up behind me. Rosalie stood there, holding the wheel chair still and thankfully stopping me from crashing into a wall.
I glared at Emmett.
"Don't even bother Bella, I know you had fun. Right Jasper?" I turned to Jasper and shook my head slightly, trying to tell him to disagree with that statement. Jasper smirked at me. "She did Emmett."
"Traitor." I stated. He just smiled at me and shrugged his shoulders.
"Emmett was completely incorrect you know." Rosalie stated as we traveled down the hallways.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"The best thing about being a vampire isn't strength. It's speed and stealth." Then she abruptly turned my wheel chair around and pulled it back a little. I just stared straight ahead. Not really seeing or understanding. Then I saw. It was a poster of Lauren, in her Oompa Loompa attire, with her mouth open in rage. I started to shake with laughter and then I burst out laughing when in the background I could see Wonka world. Lauren was standing next to the original Oompa Loompa's, who were pointing at her. And the words underneath were absolutely perfect. "What do you get when your daughter's a brat?"
I turned around to look at Rosalie. "You did this?"
"Stealth and speed. And Alice." She added. Everyone chuckled. Of course Alice was involved.
In the corner of my eye I could see Carlisle and Esme laugh and quickly leave the building as to not attract attention (mainly so kids didn't see them laughing at bullying). The rest of us just stared at the poster and then burst out laughing.
I turned my head and saw other posters lined up and down the hallway. Revenge is sweet (pun intended).
Alice and Rosalie gave each other high fives and then we continued down the hallway.
"Hey Emmett, Jasper, who won the bet?" I asked, suddenly remembering it.
Jasper grinned. "That would be me. Let's just say Rose shouldn't have tempted Mr. Wickley and he definitely should have realized that Emmett was possessive."
Emmett bumped him, sending him to the wall. "Bet you I can win the next bet!"
Jasper smirked mischievously. "What's the bet?"
"First one to make beautiful Bella blush wins!" He said with a grin.
Damn him!
