A/N: Thank you to the reviewers! So I've decided to not care about if people review or not for the next few days because I'm going on a trip soon and won't be able to update. I still hope you review but I'm not going to spazz out if you don't. Well enjoy chapter nine!

Discalimer: I don't own Twilight. Who woulda thunk it?

Chapter 9

EPOV

"Oh my god." I whispered breathlessly. I saw the red Mini Couper and the cascadeing chocolate hair I'd come to know so well along with the tip of Alice's back hair. If you didn't know she is short. Four foot nine. I pulled into the spot next to her as I always did. I about collapsed into tears when I saw the side of her perfect pale face confirming it was her. I got out and slowly walked over prepareing myself for the confrontation with Bella.

"Hey Bella!" I greeted her. Then she did something totally unexpected.

"Edward!" She cried and threw herself into my arms.

"Nice to see you too." I chuckled strokeing her hair. I heard Kate's shrill shreiked 'Ugh!' and the loud mumbling of her friends. It made me smile.

"Well, lets go reacquaint with everyone." Alice said as Bella pulled away. I walked with Bella clinging to my side. I had my arm wrapped around my waist as Kate came out of the bathroom. She shreiked again and ran back in. I rolled my eyes and then we were infront of everyone. Alice took her natural spot next to Jasper.

"Well, looks like we all hooked up." Emmett laughed. No one really said anything. We were all too wrapped up in eachother to do anything. The warning bell snapped us out of it. Bella and I rushed to our class. Kate was there. She shreiked again and everyone covered their ears. Then Kate pull me away from Bella.

"Listen here Edward Masen, you have not seen the last of me. One day Bella will be gone and I'll be the one picking you back up!" Kate said and punched me in a bad spot. I fell to the grass in pain and Bella rushed out. I growl ripped through Bella that made me think something was being ripped apart. I heard Kate scream in fear and then Bella was at my side. She pulled me up and supported my wait dragging my into the classroom.

", Kate hit Edward in a wrong spot. May I take him to the office?" She asked. name brought memories of the first time I saw Bella.

"Of course Miss Cullen. Thank you for informing me." The teacher said and I felt myself being dragged away. Just before a door slammed I heard Kate get called to the desk. I could picture her face, it made me smile a little. I was expecting the musty smell of the office to hit me but I didn't. I heard a door slam and smelled leather uppholstery. Then another door slammed and I felt something cold. I oppened my eyes and looked to see where the cold was comeing from. To my surprise a big blue plastic cold pack was sitting on top of my jeans in the spot Kate hit me.

"Duck!" Bella said and I held the ice pack in place and moved out of view. So did she.

"Why?" I asked.

"Kate." was all Bella said. I stayed silent.

"Okay, you can get up." Bella said slideing back into the seat.

"Thanks." I said.

"How could Kate hurt you? I mean I know it's sensitive for guys down there but, I mean, it's Kate." She said.

"Being a cheerleader really builds leg mucles." I replyed. Bella nodded.

"I'm takeing you to the doctor after school. I don't care if it's embarrasing, you were really out of it." Bella said.

"Fine." I said. I didn't want to argue. Bella looked at me in surprise then just rolled her eyes. We had a secret way of comunication since she could read minds. I'd think something and she'd use various phyical signs to answer. We'd developed it one day at her house.

"You ready to go?" Bella asked.

"Yeah," I said, she opened the door and had one foot out then I said, "Wait! Bella, do you want to go out with me?" I guess you could say we were already together so it's best to make it official, I guess.

She looked at me in shock, "Uh, um... I don't know what to say! Uh...yes!" She said like I was proposeing to her.

"Great!" I said and hugged her over the cupholders. We got out and walked back to class. I was wrong to get out when I did, it still hurt. I limped into class and took my seat, the day went by quickly. Before I knew it it was lunch. I wasn't in exile anymore so I sat with the Cullens and Alice. We talk and laughed, as usual Alice and I were the only ones eating.

"Hey Emmett, I dare you to eat something." Jasper said. Rose shot him the stink eye but he ignored it.

"Sure!" Emmett agreed happily and took a large bite of pizza. Rose groaned and Bella put her head in her hands. I rubbed her back.

"Thanks Emmett. I can't wait to hear you vomit that tonight!" Rose and Bella said together sarcastically.

"Hey Alice, why don't you stay the night with the Cullens." I suggested. The perfect way to surprise Bella.

"Sure...just warn me when Emmett upchucks, it doesn't even look apatizeing before partial digestion." She said.

"Okay, we'll get everything ready before you come." Rose said. The bell signaling lunch was over rang. We went to our next class. Again it went by quickly. We had an assembly the last period because it was almost the end of the schooll year, it was June first. Most of the assembly was breifing us on the porcass of buying graduation things next year and assigning our new teachers. This was way different then Chicago. The assemble ended and we all went to our cars.

"Are you comeing over?" Bella asked.

"Nope." I said makeing sure not to think of the plan.

"Aw, why not?"

"Because I have things I need to do." Was my simple reply.

"OK, well, see you tomorrow." Bella said and kissed me lightly. I head Kate scream. Funny how she was always aroud when Bella shiwed me affection. Oh well! I got in my car and drove home. I got in and pulled a bag from my closet. I filled it with overnight stuff and closed it up, putting it back in my closet. Alice burst in when I was just sitting down on my bed.

"Great, I need to talk to you. I'm comeing over to the Cullen's house with you. I'm gonna need you to think of me at home when we go just in case she's listening in on you." I said. She nodded and walked away, I guess she didn't need to tell me anything. I ran to my bathroom and dug through my cluttered drawers and found the tiny green box. It contained a locket I had always intended to give to a special girl. That girl was Bella. I put it in the outer pocket of my overnight bag and Alice called me down. We walked outside and to her BMW. I out our bags in the back and she started the car. Just as I got in it started pouring down rain. She drove to the Cullen's house. I grabbed the umbrella she kept n the back and got her bag and mine then I hurried over to her side and she huddled next to me under the umbrella with her bag. She knocked on the door and Rose hurried her in. I was hideing on the side of the house. "I could have sworn I saw Edward out with you." I heard Rose say before she closed the door. I tip toed over and rang the door bell. This time Emmett answered.

"Hey Rose! You did see Edward!" He called. Bella came running down the stairs and the mention of my name and knocked me backwards with the force of her hug. I lifted her up carrying her inside so I didn't get even wetter and put her down. She backed up and I took off my coat and hung it up on the rack.

"Unpredictable weather, eh?" Emmett said.

"No kidding." I replyed and pulled Bella into a hug again. I bent dow a little and got into my bag and pulled out the box. I heard a few gasps and smiled.

"Bella, will you marry me?" I asked in a jokeing tone down on a knee. I opened the box revealing the locket and there were sighs of releafe.

"Oh Edward! It's beautiful!" She exlaimer and picked it up. I got up and moved her hair out of the way, "Let me help you put it on." I said and took the ends. I clasped it together and it fell just right on her. She huggged me tightly and kissed me feircly. She pulled back.

"Woah." I said and shook my head a little to get my thoughts back in order. She giggled and Emmett made a gagging sound. I laughed and Bella glared at him. He shut up then. Bella pulled me to the table exactly where Alice and Jasper had been 'sucking faces' as Emmett called it and Bella shut the door. This made me get a knot in my stomach. I came over to see everyone, not be bad. When Bella kissed me the knot dissolved. She didn't make any suggestive movements, we just kissed. She locked her arms around me nack and I locked mine around her waist. Our lips moved in perfect harmony. OK, I was wrong, Bella wasn't only affectionate when Kate was around. Then my cel phone bagan to buzz in my pocket. I pulled away and took it out, Kate was calling me. I answered, "Kate! Can't you get the message? I-don't-want-to-date-you." I said very slowly enunciateing each sillable of each word then hung up before she could reply. I went back to kissing Bella. Then I head Emmett call my name. Bella sighed and layed back on the table.

"What?" I snapped unintentionaly and burst through the door.

"Visitor." Was all he said. I went to the door and it was Kate. I groaned and stepped out closeing the door beind me.

"What the hack do you want with me woman!? I told you we were throu-" She cut me off.
