Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight.

Recap: Edward comes up with a master plan to kick Lauren and Co. out of business. Bella and Edward's cousins are coming on the 3rd of September. It is currently the 1st.

Bella's PoV

After Edward left, I was literally bouncing off the walls, I was so excited. Not only because of Edward's 'Master Plan' but because I was seeing my cousins after nearly six years! I couldn't help wondering whether they were part of the popular group at their school. Who knew how they had changed after so many years? Would they even like me? I tried to remember how they looked like…….Alice and Rosalie Hale……Nope. Nothing except for a blurred memory of two girls, a small, black haired one and a taller, blonde haired one.

My thoughts were interrupted when the doorbell rang shrilly. I quickly jumped up and ran to the door. Charlie stood behind it, the cruiser already in place. Wow, what time was it? Time certainly flew by. I glanced at the clock as I mumbled a greeting to Charlie; it was almost eight o' clock. As Charlie hung up his jacket and gun, I started to comb through the fridge. "Hey Dad, what do you want to have for dinner?" I called out. "Anything will do, just make it quick, honey!" he replied.

I closed the fridge, and walked into the living room where Charlie was already watching his nightly game. "Dad, do you mind if I order a pizza? I'm not really in the mood to cook," I asked. "No, you look kinda keyed up anyway. Something bugging you?" he replied. "No, I'm just excited; Renee called to tell me that Alice and Rosalie are coming to visit day after tomorrow! Isn't that great?" I finally squealed, unable to keep it inside anymore.

"Who're Alice and Rosaline? Do I know them?" Charlie asked with a confused expression on his face. I rolled my eyes. Trust him to forget the names of his own nieces. "It's Rosalie, Dad. Don't you remember Uncle Em? The one who supposedly fought with grizzly bears?"

"How could I forget him? He's half crazy!"

"Yeah, so Alice and Rosalie are his daughters. Remember we went to visit them in New York?" I had no memories of that trip, but I still remembered we had gone there.

"Right……"

After dinner, I watched some mindless sitcom with Charlie, which neither of us enjoyed, but he seemed glad for the bonding time. At around 11 in the night, we finally went to sleep. I quickly fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

In the morning, I woke up felling unusually hyper. I showered, got dressed and raced down as fast as I could run. After a hurried breakfast, I jumped into my old, red, rusty Chevy truck and gunned the deafening engine to life. Edward preferred to walk to school, even when it was raining cats and dogs; instead of driving his silver Volvo S60R. I reached the school very early; there was no sign of anyone in the building.

I carefully walked into the cafeteria, I am very clumsy, to the extent of being disabled, and there was no telling what this hyper feeling could do to me. Twenty minutes later, the bell rang, signaling the start of first period. I jumped, coming back to reality. The cafeteria had filled up while I was daydreaming about stuffing a custard pie down Lauren's designer outfit. I quickly walked to English, today was a Friday, and only the second day of school, so presumably, the students were acting like monkeys, jumping on chairs and desks. Mr. Mason had not arrived yet, so I slinked into the classroom and found a seat near the back of the room. I looked at my schedule and remembered that Edward was in this class too, but I didn't see him anywhere. Then he stepped through the door, with a gorgeous smile on his face when he spotted me.

Wait, what was that?? Did I just say that my BFF had a gorgeous smile?? What is wrong with me? Was the hyperness finally getting to me?

While I struggled with the idea of me thinking that Edward had a nice smile, Mr. Mason had arrived and was calling the class to order. Edward sat on the seat next to me, with a confused expression on his face.

"Are you all right? Your face seems kinda weird," he asked.

I quickly rearranged my face into a smile. "I'm OK, just thinking about whether my cousins would like me," I replied.

"Of course they'll like you. What's not to like?"

"Well, they might have been popular in New York, and seeing that I am a geek, they might treat me like Lauren does," I said.

"Don't talk nonsense. It's just the nerves, there's nothing to worry about," he said.

Feeling reassured, I gave Edward a quick smile and turned to Mr. Mason and the lecture he was giving.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Later, as I was walking to our table with my lunch tray, Lauren stepped in front of me and peered at my food. "Well, well, well. Are we trying to get skinny, fat? I don't think that your pathetic little attempt will work, because you'll always remain a fat Bella butterball, no matter what you eat," she sneered. Behind her, Jessica and her cronies laughed in their stupid, nasally voices.

I felt a blush color my cheeks, but it was not of embarrassment, it was of anger. I kept my mouth shut, and then an idea struck me. I pretended that I was going to cry, making my eyes all big and watery. Lauren and the others laughed harder. Then, I started to walk, and accidently-on-purpose tripped and dumped the contents of my tray all over Lauren. The salad and Italian dressing drenched her hair and face, while the grilled cheese sandwich jammed itself down her shirt. "Oops, so sorry," I said in a fake, sweet voice, trying to hold in the laughter that threatened to burst out. The cafeteria became so silent that you could hear a pin drop. Lauren let loose with a string of profanities. One look at her face, and I let loose with a fit of laughing so hard that my stomach ached. I laughed and laughed and laughed, while the stunned students looked at the spectacle unfolding in front of them.

Lauren screeched like a deranged bird and stalked out of the cafeteria, her cronies scuttling after her, shooting me furious glares.

Finally, Edward had to help me get to the table, as I was doubled up with laughter and my tummy ached so badly, I couldn't walk.

He was laughing too, while the cafeteria went back to normal, but some students kept looking at me, some appreciatively, some shocked and so on. Just you wait, Lauren. There's a lot more to come!!
