Emmett's POVI turned my attention to Bella, rather than listen to Alice pester Loretta with questions. Bella turned toward me and smiled a shy smile. I smiled back hugely. She looked down at her hands and blushed deeply. All the blood rushing up to her face made her scent more evident. She had a very appealing scent. Very floral. Edward looked over at me, a worried look on his face. He obviously read my mind and didn't want me to make Bella my lunch. I shook my head in a 'no' gesture. Bella smelled very appealing indeed, but not in a food way. I wanted to know more about her. I was just about to ask her a question when a boy with spiky blonde hair walked up to Bella. "Hi, my names Mike, your Bella right?" She looked up from her hands and nodded. "Hi." She said shyly. "I was wondering if I could take you out this weekend, maybe to a movie or something." He said with a cocky smile. Bella looked slightly annoyed. I was surprisingly glad she was acting this way. "Sorry Mike, I'm busy." Mikes disappointment showed visibly on his face when his overly confident smile turned into a frown. He made his lower lip come out further than his upper lip in a pathetic pout. "Oh, ok. See ya later." He said looking at the ground. He walked away, his eyes still on the floor. Bella turned to me and rolled her eyes. I had to laugh. I was strangely relieved that she wasn't interested in him. And the expression on her face was genuinely funny. "So your not a vampire?" I asked her even though I knew she wasn't. I couldn't' think of anything to say! Wow, that's a first. "No. just Loretta." Bella looked over her shoulder at Loretta. Bella looked sad all of the sudden. "What's wrong?" I couldn't help but ask. She sighed. "I'm jealous of her. She's smart, beautiful, and interesting. She's amazing, but I'm completely normal." She said, looking at Loretta again. I smiled. "Are you?" She looked confused. "I don't know you that well, so I don't know if your normal or not. Tell me about you, and I'll be the judge." She started to blush. "What do you want to know?" She asked, unsure. I wanted to know everything. "Does your family know about Loretta?" She smiled. "My moms side does. Its in our blood." She said, smirking at her ironic joke. I continued to ask her questions about her life, and found that I was completely interested in everything she had to say. The pain in her eyes when she told me of her parents divorce, the pride she showed when she talked of her family, I found all this fascinating. I spent my whole lunch period getting to know Bella. I enjoyed talking to her. She was much easier to talk to than Rosalie. It seemed natural with then the bell rang. Lunch was over. And so was my time with Bella. "Well, I'll see you later Emmett." Bella said sweetly. I was about to say goodbye when Alice walked over to us. Jeez! What is with people interrupting me today!?"You and Loretta are coming over tonight. We want you guys to meet Carisle and Esme." Cool. I'd get to see her tonight, after the lawyer left that is....ugh. "I'll see you tonight Bella." She looked kind of confused but was smiling. "I guess you will."
