A Family Full of Surprises

After kissing Emmett I felt complete. It had me start the day off wonderfully. People were looking at me around the hallways. It would seem like nothing had changed from yesterday but I got looks of envious stares from girls and the guys didn't look to happy that Emmett got the new girl. I didn't care though, whatever. One more thing I didn't need to think about.

After 4 periods rolled by fast I went to my locker to go to lunch. I saw Kirsten at her locker so I bumped her playfully and one of the books she was holding flew out of her hands. She looked at me and laughed and then went to go pick it up. Before she bent down a handsome tall guy with dark brown eyes, but he couldn't even compare with Emmett, had gotten it and gave it back to Kirsten.

"Here you go," he said with a smile. Kirsten blushed a tint of pink. Apparently I was missing something between both of them.

"Thanks Krieg," she replied putting the book in her locker.

"No problemo. Do you want to sit with me at lunch?" She looked towards me for her answer and I nodded my head. Of course she could go, I'm not her mother. It was her choice to sit with Emmett's family with me not mine. Truthfully, I think it'd be better if she didn't come because I have to ask him some questions.

"Yeah sure. I'll see you later then, Emily."

"Yeah definitely."

I smiled at her as she left. Hopefully she'll be okay with him. She's such a sweet girl. I wonder if they have gone out before or are they secret lovers? Hah, I'm getting ahead of myself now. I went back to my locker and then I felt someone behind me put his hands on both lockers surrounding mine making me imprisoned between his arms. I turned around to see Emmett's face close to mine.

"Hey Emmett," I said looking up at him. He really did make me feel small.

"Hey Emily, ready to sit at my table?"

"Absolutely," I said and then we left my locker to go to the lunchroom. We were close to holding hands, but I decided to link my arm into his instead. We walked into the cafeteria and I'm not joking when I say that everyone turned their heads to stare at us. I felt like a runway model but less confident. Emmett looked down at me with a smile and I smiled back at him. We finally reached the table with Edward and the rest of Emmett's family sitting there along with Bella.

"Hey guys, this is the Emily I was talking about," Emmett said motioning towards me. Edward smiled at me.

"Why hello there, I'm Edward and this is Bella. I heard that my manners attracts girls from Emmett," Edward said with another bright smile. He seemed nice.

"Yeah, it works. I bet that's how you swooned Bella into being your girlfriend," I replied returning the smile although mine probably wasn't as charming. He laughed and Bella smiled at me.

"You're actually right. He dazzled me," Bella said.

"Ohhh… so that's what they do! That's a perfect word for it! Hah so the Cullen's are players," I said as I raised my eyebrows. Emmett laughed.

"She totally fits you Emmett," I turned to the other side of the table to look at who was talking. It was Alice. She was really, really pretty.

"Yeah, I know. It's kind of funny how alike we are," he answered Alice. Apparently I was topic in their house. Emmett talked about me? That's cute.

"Sit down Emmett, make the girl welcome," said another different voice which I looked to see was Jasper. He had a relaxed feel about him. I smiled at him and we both sat down. I sat between Edward and Emmett. I looked to the person across from me. It was the beautiful blonde Rosalie. She didn't look too happy, but I shrugged it off. Maybe she was having an off day.

"Well I'm going to get some lunch," as I was grabbing some cash out of my bag.

"I'll go with you," Emmett said. I was thinking that everyone was going to come with me, but I only Emmett followed. As we got to the line I had to ask him.

"Did they already eat or something?" He laughed.

"No… they just don't like cafeteria food," he answered. Picky eaters? Okay that's a point off. I hate when people say that they hate the cafeteria food and don't eat. It's like suck it up or bring food from home. Oh well, this was a good time to ask Emmett some questions so I shouldn't waste my time talking about people that don't eat cafeteria food to myself.

"Emmett, I was just wondering but …" I wasn't sure if it was okay to ask.

"Go ahead, I don't mind any questions."

"I was wondering why does your eyes switch from a golden color to a dark black," I asked and then added, "Don't say that your eyes change with your mood." He laughed.

"I'll tell you when we get back to the table." Okay? The whole point of asking here was to not ask at the table but I guess so. I grabbed a diet Root Beer and a sandwich. We headed back to the table and then when we finally got back to the table Edward started to talk to me.

"We have a lot of explaining to do. It seems as though Emmett really likes you so if you're going to be apart of our lives we need to tell you a lot. I've told Bella everything about us gradually but I think you can handle it all in one sitting."

I nodded. I thought I was smart enough. Hopefully.

"Well first off I can read minds." Woah. That explains a lot. Like how Emmett looked at me when I was talking about him with Kirsten.

"That's so cool! Tell me what some of the people in here are thinking right now." He laughed at me. I knew I probably looked like a kid who got to see Santa at the mall.

"Okay, see that girl over there," I looked over to a blonde girl who was staring at me until I looked back at her. She didn't look too happy. "Well, she thinks you're a slut for kissing Emmett and only knowing him 1 day because she's liked him since 10th grade when he smiled at her." I seen Emmett snicker and her murmured 'watch this'. He turned around and smiled at her. Her face went into total awe and I started laughing.

"Stop dazzling her with your smile!" I said playfully hitting him on his arm. Ow. He really is hard.

"Fine, I should save it for you." He smiled at me this time. I hate him for making me feel butterflies in my stomach. I stuck my tongue out at him. He laughed at me.

"Okay do you see that guy over there," Edward continued and I looked back to see one of the football players. His name was on the tip of my tongue … umm… Patrick! Wait no … ohh yes, Biff! He was staring at me too. He blushed and turned his head the other way. "He thinks you're hott and is really jealous of Emmett. He thinks that you're one of the funniest girls in this school." I looked at Emmett and I said, "Watch this." I looked back at him and smiled him. He smiled back and then he caught Emmett's glare. He then turned again the other way.

"Emmett! Jeez don't scare the kid to death! Plus, you can smile at a girl and I can't smile at a guy? Not fair." He shrugged.

"Yeah but you're not friends with that blonde girl." I thought about it and it made sense.

"Wow Emmett, you actually made a good point," I said trying to sound astonished. He smiled at me.

"I'm smarter than you think."

"I guess so. Anyways, Edward what other secrets are there about the Cullen clan?" I asked intrigued. The whole mind reading thing was pretty cool; I wonder what else there was in this family.

"Well Jasper can control people's emotions and Alice can see the future." I looked over at the two of them.

"Oh so that's why I felt that you had a calm presence." I said to Jasper. He nodded.

"I bet you're wearing a black tank top with a white sweat jacket and black skinny jeans with black converse tomorrow," Alice said. I was shocked. I had laid out the same exact outfit for tomorrow before I left.

"Wow you're good." She smiled.

"Thanks." Edward cleared his throat as if to continue.

"We have a lot more to tell you but it'd be better if you could come by the house Sunday." Emmett looked at Edward and said, "Well I already asked her to come after school today."

"After school we have to go hiking until Saturday."

"Ohhh right," Emmett turned to face me, "I'm sorry Emily I totally spaced. Is Sunday okay?"

I nodded, "Yeah sure. I can't wait to find out the rest of the Cullen mystery." Emmett smiled at me and then the bell rang and we were all grabbing our books to leave until I finally heard Rosalie speak.

"Oh Emily."

I looked back at her and smiled, "Yeah?"

"Everything that you heard at this lunch table … tell no one."
