Here's your next chapter…

I still don't own anything. I've called Stephenie Meyer like, fifty times and she won't give me Twilight. I even offered her my entire piggy bank…*sniff sniff*

Chapter 9—Prepare For Revenge

The bus ride home was pretty awkward. For me. All I could think about was that kiss…why did Edward leave? Did he not mean to do that?

He was sitting at the very front of the bus and I was sitting in the very back. Everyone was celebrated and passing around our rediculously large trophy but I was silent, and I'm pretty sure Edward was too.

"What's up with you Bella? Is it your leg? Do you need some more ice?" Emmett asked suddenly, sounding worried.

"I'm fine Emmett," I assured him quickly.

"Are you sure nothing's wrong?" he asked carefully.

I pursed my lips, contemplating whether or not I could tell him. "Just thinking I guess," I said shrugging. Nope. Couldn't tell him. Too girly.

"Okay," he said, but I could tell he didn't believe me. He did cover up his disbelief pretty good because two seconds later he yelled, "Wooo!! We did it!" Our whole bus whooped and I laughed. At least I can rely on one thing…

NEXT DAY

"Stop moving Bella, I'm going to burn your head," Alice said as she attacked me with a curling iron. I sighed and sat still. This is torture. Almost as much as the torture that has been being in the same house as Edward for hours and not talking to him-not even being able to make eye contact. I've finally decided how I was feeling about him at the moment. I was mad.

"What is up with you today Bella, you've been acting so weird," Rosalie said as she did something to my face.

I sighed. I could tell them, right? "Guys, I need some help," I said. They immediately stopped what they were and sat down on the bed across from me. I closed my eyes and told them everything that happened. They were silent through the entire thing. I opened my eyes to see their expressions were a mix of: surprise, anger, and happiness.

"That idiot!" Alice said. "He finally makes a move and he freaks and runs away!" she exclaimed. Rosalie just shook her head.

"What do you guys mean?" I asked.

Rosalie and Alice rolled their eyes. "It is so obvious you two like each other-a lot-but you both have been too chicken to do anything. Edward really likes you Bella," Rosalie said certainly. "He is just scared. He wants everything to perfect in his life. He wants a baseball scholarship, then go to medical school, then get a nice fancy job, and all that. He just doesn't realize the most important step he's skipping…you."

"Me?" I asked incredulously.

"Yes Bella, you," Alice confirmed. I just sat there, shocked out of my mind. Is that really why he avoids me all the time? So he doesn't get too close and forgets about his goals or gets too distracted to meet them?

I smacked my forehead with the palm of my hand. "So…what do I do now?" I asked them.

"Go to the dance, look kick ass, and hope for the best," Rosalie said with a devious smile.

I gave them a wide eyed look as the got off the bed and slowly approached me. "What are you guys doing?" I asked, truly frightened now.

They both smiled evil smiles. "We were going to make you look good tonight…but now," Alice said, her smile going wider. "You are going to look fabulous," she said. Her grin turned into a smirk. "Prepare for revenge." Oh shit.

EPOV

I can't believe I did that. I actually kissed her. I had been thinking about it for a while but I still can't believe I actually did it.

I remember how I felt when I looked at her afterwards and her eyes were wide with shock. I just couldn't help it…I had to get away. I was so embarassed I did that-that she would be angry at me for doing it. Judging by her reaction I'm sure she'll never want to talk to me again. I'm such an idiot.

There was a sudden pounding on my door. "Who is it?" I asked, sitting up on my bed.

"It's your most favoritest brother in the world!" Emmett shouted from the other side of the door.

"Come in," I sighed. He stepped in and gave me a hard look. I looked at him in obvious confusion. What was with this sudden change of attitude?

EMPOV:

"Edward," I said sitting down on his desk chair. "We need to talk," I said.

"About what?" he asked completely confused.

"I saw what happened yesterday," I said. He gave me a confused and I sighed. "After the game," I added significantly. His eyes widened and I knew he understood what I meant. "Why did you do it?" I asked. I thought he liked her-I really did. But then when he walked away and I saw Bella's crumpled reaction…I was so mad.

"I don't know Emmett, I guess I just wasn't thinking," he said looking down at his hands.

"Well next time, you should really think things through. Bella is like my little sister, and I don't care if you're my brother too, I will hurt you," I threatened. She really is like my little sister and I care about her a lot. She seemed so miserable on the bus ride back…

"Don't worry, I won't do it again," he assured me.

I just shook my head at him. "I thought you liked her Edward," I sighed.

His head snapped up and he gave me a confused me a confused look. "I do like her-that's why I did it," he said.

I furrowed my eye brows. "Well you have a hell of a way of showing it. How could you just walk away like that? Like you made the biggest mistake of your life?" I almost yelled at him.

"What? What are you talking about Emmett?" he asked.

I stared at him incredulously. "Are you kidding me? You kissed her and ran away! You didn't see how sad she looked on the bus ride back-she looked like a kicked dog," I said.

"Wait," Edward said. "I thought she didn't want me to kiss her-that's why I left. I thought she was angry at me," he said.

My eyes widened. What now? "Edward, you are such an idiot!" I exclaimed. "Have you been listening to anyone lately? Bella does like you she just thinks you don't like her," I explained.

His eyes widened. "Really?" he asked incredulously.

"Yes you retard! I can't believe you just ruined it like that!" I said incredulously. I am glad that he didn't just kiss her though, that definitely takes a load off but now we have some other problems…

"What am I going to do now? She's going to the dance with Tyler," he said sneering his name. Yep. He definitely likes her. He is so jealous.

I grinned wickedly. "I have an idea," I said with a glint in my eye. This is going to be fun…

Dance in next chapter, I just wanted to get out how they are feeling and the requested Emmett's POV. Hope you liked it, REVIEW!
