AUTHOR'S NOTE: Well, guys, I was hoping to wrap this up a while ago, but never got around to it, so we'll see how this goes. The chapters will be relatively short with very few amounts of dialogue being I am in a lazy mood right now. But lucking out with no homework, I decided to write this up with nothing else to do.

DISCLAIMER: Yada, yada- I don't own the Twilight Saga, it's all Stephenie Meyer's work….

Chapter 7: Shock

ROSALIE'S POV

Plopping myself into a big cushiony chair, I turned to Alice. "Who's gonna win?"

"I've been trying to keep myself out of the competition." she replied in a monotonous tone.

So then I looked at Emmett and Jasper, fighting their little heads off. (Or in Emmett's case, big head.)

"So, pay up."

"You've got no proof I lost!"

"So?"

"So you can't tell I have to pay you!!"

Getting annoyed with that, I pictured myself standing up making my acceptance speech and thanking all my supporters. I pictured Emmett next to me, being the runner-up and fishing around in his pocket for his money for Jasper. I laughed out loud.

Bella looked at me suspiciously and turned back to the page, where our class president, Heather, was already talking.

"-see, doing things a little differently this year. I am going to dismiss you row by row, along with my fellow student council members, and let you come and see the list of winners. Then you have to walk back behind the stage and back to your classes. Everyone understand?"

People were nodding their heads and mumbling unsure yes's. I watched as the ninth grade class prez, Theresa, dismissed the first two rows of us. Then as Emily, tenth grade student council representative, ushered another twenty or so kids onto the stage.

Although everyone had obviously had different views of the election, I noticed that everyone left the stage with shocked expressions. Was it really that shocking that I had won? Or did Emmett beat me? I mean, he was pretty cool and all. Yes, that would explain it. They were shocked that he won and not me. Yes….

I must have been lost in thought for a long time, because Penelope was standing above us, trying to get us all to make a single-file line and climb onto the stage.

BELLA'S POV

We were all there, waiting for Rose to decide to stand up. I was so anxious, yet excited. I knew that I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up, but I couldn't help it. There wasn't anything I have wanted to win more in my life, besides Edward.

She finally stood and glided over to the stage, leaving with the same shocked expression as everyone else. Then Alice hopped up, looked, and left the stage silently. Emmett stomped up next, smiled in my general direction and leapt off from view. What the heck was going on? Jasper stepped up slowly, glanced at the paper, and smirked. As he left, Edward squeezed my hand once and stepped up gracefully. He looked like a little kid in a candy store as he tried to contain all of his excitement. He smiled crookedly at me, and waited for me to step up safely before leaving, his eyes never off of me. I checked the sign hesitantly.
