hey guys...here's chappie three!! srry for the late update... i was watching the olympics!! hahhaha...well, yup!!

Chapter Three

I flopped down onto the bed like a fish out of water. My arms were killing me, what with all the bags that I had to carry, one of them a pink bag.

After we had gotten back from the shopping trip, I had had learned that Alice had arranged it with the dean to have me be in the same dorm room as her. Rosalie was just a hallway down, so we could chill out with her whenever we wanted to. It was all very nice and convenient.

I had just dragged all my bags, both shopping accessories and my old clothes, from Rosalie's car. I had been procrastinating; hoping Alice wouldn't check what I had brought to wear.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Alice, who had been flitting around, opening my bags, and lecturing me, sprinted towards the door. She seemed too excited for my taste.

She hesitated and then exclaimed, "Oh!! I completely forgot, Bella!!"

"My BF's here... He said he would be talking me to dinner today," she added casually.

"WHAT?? You mean B-F as in BOYFRIEND!?" I shouted out. I was sure the whole school could hear me.

When would the surprises end? First, I beat up Alice's brother, then I get shoved into a dressing room with a gel bra, and now this!! ALICE HAS A BOYFRIEND!!

"What," Alice whined, "he's really cute, tall, and handsome. He's got the cutest smile, and oh my gosh, I simply melt at his feet when he talks. We've been dating for about 4 months now, and he is the most amazing kisser ever!! And he's also really smart; you should talk philosophy and all the academic crap with him. You will love him when you see him, just back off because he's mine."

I sighed in defeat. She seemed really happy with this guy.

It's down to me and Rosalie as singles now, I thought.

"Well, you might as well take the door, and introduce me to your boyfriend," I said as the boyfriend knocked again.

Alice, delighted that I had accepted the fact that she had a boyfriend, and opened the door.

"Jasper!!" she shouted out as she jumped onto the figure outside the door.

"Come in!! This the Bella that I was talking about. She's the bestest friend a person could have, but then she's kinda a species all to herself. It's kinda like boys, girls, and...Bella!" She gestured wildly at me.

I took in this Jasper. He seemed like a good guy; tall, handsome, as Alice had described him to me. He had a calming aura about him. And he looked familiar. There was something about him that told me I had seen this guy before. Hmmmm...weird...

Wait, hold up. This dude was the guy who hung around with him. My eyes narrowed. He was part of the 'Three Musketeers', also known as Edward's threesome groupies.

Jasper, seeming to recognize me too, was apalled.

"You're a...a...GIRL??" He stuttered.

"Yeah, so?" I countered. "Is there something wrong with being a girl?"

"But... but..." He stuttered.

"She beat Edward," Alice finished for him.

She went on, "Wow. I've never seen you so speechless, Jasper!! Usually you're so full of philisophical genius!! Bella, congratulations!! You just rendered Jasper surprised with one blow!!"

"Yeah, yeah..." I waved it off. "Come on, Alice. Intro's over. You should get on with your date."

I turned my back to them, walked to the kitchen, and called out, "And keep it PG-13!!"

The door slammed shut. I sighed, shaking my head. What a headache!!

My stomach grumbled. It was time to eat!! I dug through the kitchen, looking for everything and anything that I could find. The only thing I found, however, was a can of peanut butter, a can of jelly, and no bread. I was about to down the two cans alone, when my cell rang.

It was Rosalie, my life saver!! She wanted to go get some Chinese take-out, and SHE WAS TREATING!!

Suspicious, I warned, "My stomach's growling, though. Are you sure you want to pay?"

"Sure, sure, no problem!!" She was waayy too cheery.

Oh well, it's a happy day!!

"So all you have to do is eat five bowls of black noodles before the other competitor. If you purge, you loose. Emmett, if you win, I will dump Al, and be your girlfriend," Rosalie briskly called out the rules of the eating contest. I had gotten to the Chinese resturant, only to find Edward's other 'henchman', Emmett.

I had been introduced to Emmett as Rosalie's "boyfriend," and in order to get Rosalie as his girlfriend, he would have to beat me in an eating contest. Some eating contest when I wouldn't even be eating at my best!! I don't want to remain as a boyfriend for Rosalie!!

She silently pleaded at me, "I HATE Emmett. Pleeeez win this for me."

I huffed.

"And also, the one who looses has to pay the bill!!" She shouted out, knowing I would not forfit the contest if it came to money.

I glared at her and said through gritted teeth, "Bring it on!!"

The competition was... interesting. I took it steady and slow, but Emmett took off in the race with a rush. He started stuffing his face with the first two bowls, but he started to slow down on the third. I was on my second by then.

I was in total heaven!! I was eating to my stomach's content, and if I won this contest, I would be able to walk away without paying!! What better way to eat is there than that?

"Urg!" I heard Emmett almost lose. I was still going strong and on my third bowl.

Then Rosalie took out her ultimate weapon. Yogurt! Rosalie added a full spoonful to both our bowls and smeared it in. It was just another substance added to my meal for me, but I guess Emmett couldn't take it. He looked at my bowl and my vigorous and continuous eating, and holding his mouth closed, ran to the bathroom.

"Hey, Musketeer!!" I called out after him, "You're a good competitor, but I really don't want to pay the check. Thanks for paying for me!!"

I went home full and happy. After thanking Rosalie for an amazing competitor and meal, I trudged back to my dorm. Alice was back and waiting for me.

"So..."she started, but my cell rang.

"Hello?" I greeted.

"Oh my gosh! I LOVE EMMETT!! He's so teddy-bear cute, cool, and simply amazing!!"She screamed into the phone.

Holding the phone an arm's length away from my ears, I shouted back, "ARE YOU BIPOLAR??"

"No, why?" she lowered her voice.

"BECAUSE YOU JUST SAID YOU HATE EMMETT AN HOUR AGO!" I was still shouting.

"Yeah, but he convinced me to 'dump' you and hang out with him, and now he's sooooo cool!!" she squealed.

"I'm coming over right now to discuss couple stuff with Alice!!" she hung up on me.

A second later, she was banging at our door, wanting in. Alice flung open the door, and she and Rosalie hugged each other and jumped around the room. It turns out Rosalie and Emmett actually each had a major crush on each other forever, but were to stubborn to hook up with each other.

As soon as they were done animatedly talking about their amazing bfs (me flipping the channels on our small TV), they turned to me.

"We're dating two of the 'Musketeers'..."Rosalie suggestively trailed off.

"So we need to get Bella and the third Musketeer together!!" Alice screeched out, finishing her sentence.

I blushed a deep red and protested. I WOULD NOT be dating - ever again...
