A/N: ok so it has been three weeks since I have had time to update but life happens as I am sure many of you know that and I am dealing with a lot. So since I see that this story has had a lot of alerts added and hits but no reviews I am starting to wonder if I should just end it here…….but I don't think that I will I still have all these ideas floating around in my head. BUT COULD YOU PLEASE REVIEW??? I would greatly appreciate it!

Chapter 4: Let your colors fly
Song for this Chapter – Be true to your school by: The Beach Boys
BPOV
I was having an amazing dream about the guy we met on Saturday with those gorgeous green eyes…….Edward……….last night I had forced Emmett to watch Titanic with me. Needless to say he wasn't very happy about it, he kept making comments and reciting the dialogue all wrong. It was quite annoying but then again this is my brother we are talking about here. In my dream I was Kate Winslet and Edward was my Leo. He was much better looking if you ask me. We had just finished the scene where we fog up the buggy! *wink*wink* and let me say in my dream he is a fantabulous kisser. And now we were running down the hall way to escape………all of a sudden I felt the bed start to shake violently……………"Holy Crow!!! We just hit an Iceberg!! We are going down!!! We are gonna die!!!! Edward this was the best night of MY LIFE!!!!" I screamed then fell on my butt and when I opened my eyes I was staring not at Edward but at my stupid brother………why-o-why does he love to torture me?..........he was staring back at me with wide eyes and mouth agape. I swear I think he is trying to practice so when he gets older he can be a fish at the aquarium! He had the mental capacity of a fish. I wish he was as silent as one.
While he stood there mouth agape I realized why he was so shocked CRAP! CRAP! CRAP! Bella did you seriously just scream out for Edward and tell him that was the night of your dreams?? Oh god!!! And Emmett heard!!! SHIT! I am so dead! He is going to kill Edward too. When he finally regained his composure enough I knew that I was dead no matter what I did or said. He was going to lock me in my room with a wrought iron chastity belt. I started to blush slightly at that last thought………….maybe he didn't hear me?
Nice try Bella but seriously I think they heard you in China!
Emmett set the bed down very gently and cocked his eyebrow at me then said "So princess you have a crush on the boy that we met at Rosalie and Jasper's huh??"
"Umm no he is just easy on the eyes you know what I mean?"
"Yeah bells I know what you mean Rosalie is EXTREMELY easy on the eyes" He winked at me
"Th..th…th…that IS NOT what I meant!"
"ok ……sure……if you ….say so……but why….are you stuttering??.......and turning slightly pink?" He asked between laughs
I swear he is so annoying! I know he is just saying this stuff to play with me and get a rise out of me. Sometimes when he does this stuff to me I feel like he is a bear toying with his food, right before he eats it. In this scenario you are definitely the food Bella.
"Emmett Paul I am going to kill you!!!! No better yet I am going to tell Dad and Mom what you just did!! DA-!" My scream was cutoff by his hand covering my mouth
"SHUSH BELLA!!! You can't tell mom and dad that I did that."
"mmm" that was supposed to be why? But it's kind of hard to speak when his hand is the size of your face.
"Because if you tell the parentals then I will just have to explain how hilarious the way you woke up and said that Ed-"
"MMMMMMM!!!!!"
"ok good we have an agreement. Now I am going to put my hand down from your mouth if you scream …….well you know the drill" he had this smirk on his face, but he dropped his hand from my face.
"ok fine you win! Now if there is nothing that you need from my room…….GET OUT!!!!"
"Oh yeah I came in here because mom wanted me to tell you two things…..the first is to get up, get showered and dressed because we are going to the school to get registered and sort out all that stuff………………" he didn't finish his sentence he paused but I could tell by the glint in his eye that he was up to something. So I took the bait.
"And the second thing that mom wanted you to tell me would be???"
He dropped to his knees grabbed a hanger then looked up at me and screamed "NO MORE WIRE HANGERS!!!!!" he then fell over laughing
"oooooo I am so telling her you called her mommy dearest" I was trying not to laugh but I let a chuckle escape. He can be annoying but he is just so dern funny! I swear sometimes I wonder if he was dropped at birth! Mom swears she didn't but she is a little scatter brained so she is probably just trying to cover that up. His deck is missing a few cards if you know what I mean? He was still laughing and I knew I needed to get him out of my room before mom came up, so I said the one thing that was sure to get any brother out of the room unless you're a backwoods kissing cousin kind of family…….GROSS!
"Emmett I am giving you ten seconds to vacate this room or you are going to see your sister naked"
"EEEWWWW!!!!! AHHHHHH! MY EYES!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!! THEY BURN!!!!!! HELP ME!!!!!" he was screaming and trying to run out of my room with his eyes covered for effect and he ran straight into my door frame. It was my turn to burst into hysterics this time. He recovered quickly and ran straight to his room still screaming something about needing a scalpel to scrape his eyes out.
I quickly showered and blow dried my hair although I don't know why you just did that its going to curl back up into waves when you walk outside. I went down stairs to see what little Emmett had left of the food mom had cooked for us. Then went to sit in the living room and read while I waited.
(an hour later sitting in the jeep heading to Forks High School)
Its been five years since I've seen her face
She is the holy ghost lost without a trace
And now we are left with the what ifs
Its been five years since she left for la
She is an angel with a dirty face
And it seems to me
She's a casualty
Of all the pressure
That we put on her
And now we have lost her for good
Its such a shame shame shame that our homecoming queen
Was a lot like you and a lot like me
And she never walked on water
Guess no one really saw her
(Hinder-Homecoming Queen)
"Emmett could you please change this song it's to eerie hearing it and driving back to the place where your dad and I met. And the fact that I got pregnant with you after graduation well that is the reason the homecoming queen and king skipped town"
He chuckled "sorry mom I didn't mean to mess up your walk on water stunt to the small town of Forks but come on I was the best treat of your life"
"More like trick" I mumbled
"Isabella, be nice to your brother and yes you both were the best treats of my life. But can we put on some music that is a little more my speed please?" like what I doubt we have any Barry Manilow or Conway Twitty in this car. Don't worry some of their songs are good but mom played them way to much and they had acquired the ability to make my skin crawl
"Sure mom I got just the thing I am sure this is from back in your day and age" oh god here it comes! He is going to let her listen to those songs
"Great more Barry or Conway, I just can't contain my excitement anymore!" I groaned. Then I heard the song Emmett had chosen for mom ooooo you are so dead for calling her old!!! YAY I will be an only child!!
When some loud bragger tries to put me down and says his school is great
I tell him right away now whats the matter buddy aint you heard of my school?
Its number one in the state (hey hey take it away get that ball and fight)

(Beach boys-Be true to your school)
I was laughing hysterically in the back seat while mom was trying to scowl at Emmett and I at the same time. She gave up on me and turned the evil eye on Emmett. Good lord that boy is stupid with a capital S! you never tease a woman about her age!!! That was from Nani and Papos generation! Even I knew that!! How is it that we come from the same gene pool?
"Emmett" she was trying her best to stay calm, Emmett didn't help her temper with that smirk on his face "I am not sixty plus years old and that song is not something more my speed!"
He lost it right there he burst out laughing sputtering spit all over the front of the car….GROSS…..i think he spit on her. I was on the verge of losing it again. But I noticed we had pulled in front of the school already and were parking next to dad's cruiser, he had left work for an hour or two so that he could go and talk to the coach. He thought that being the Chief of Police in this small town would give him a little pull with the coach………jeebus!!! Men!!!! Give them a gun and a badge and they think they rule the world………but daddy was a great cop and he protected me from all those horrible things in the world. Mostly from myself, but this time he would be saving his precious baby boy from the wrath that is mom! Hell hath no fury like that of a woman scorned. I swear I don't know why she got so offended its not like he is the most reliable source in the world anyway! Come on Emmett thinks that if he turns his dirty boxers inside out. Then they are considered clean again. This to me is uber disgusting whatever puts the wind in his sails.
*****************
The lady behind the front desk was a round women and her name was Ms. Cope she had a white beehive and wore cat eye glasses. Maybe Emmett should have played that song for her! By the way she was eyeing him I bet she wanted to see him in a lettermen dancing around for her(chuckles)That is kind of nasty when you think about it. My mind has gone to the gutter lately and I blame it all on the big oaf that I call my brother. I have been spending way to much time with him lately. Mom and dad quickly got us registered my schedule was English first; American Sign Language second; Economics third; lunch forth; biology fifth; government sixth; trigonometry seventh; and study hall/office assistant eighth.
Emmett had the same lunch period as I did and on his last period he had gym/football so I would be able to go, sit and watch him practice or on pep rally days I could go help set up the gym……I hope he would still remember his little sis when all these girls start their own little cheering section like they did when we were in Phoenix. The coach of course took one look at Emmett and his record and practically fell at his feet and started kissing them. It didn't take him five seconds to agree to let him on the team.
My cell phone started buzzing as we were walking out of the school. Dad was going to take mom to lunch then show her around the station so I was stuck with Tweedle dee for the rest of the afternoon GREAT!! Maybe I can make him play dress up……oh he can take me to the movies……his treat after that little stunt this morning. I pulled my phone out of my pocket to check it I hardly ever get phone calls or text messages and the three people who call the most are either with me or just left me. I opened the phone and it was a message from Rosalie hmmmm I wonder what she wants? Probably my brother!
Hey Bells we are headed to the movies and then maybe grabbing dinner together. Why don't you come with us and bring Emmett so he won't be left all alone ~Rose
I replied
who is we? And I will ask if he wants to go to the movies he might have other plans ~Bella
"Hey em feel like catching a movie with me?"
"PSPPSHHH!!! No way! Why so we can watch Titanic again I don't think so!!! Why are you bored already kiddo?" yeah sure let me drop the bomb that Rosalie is going and you will be begging to go with me
My phone buzzed again and Emmett noticed it this time
Jasper and Alice, Edward, You, me and Emmett if you want to invite him ~ Rose
sure if I want to invite him huh? Well ok I will play cupid even though you two are more forcing me to be in the middle of all this stuff
"who is that bells?" he asked trying to feign interest
"Oh its Rose and she invited us/well more so me but she said I could bring someone with me if I wanted to but since you just said you didn't want to go with me I will just go alone. I would hate to force you to hang out with me if you have something better to do." I smirked I knew I had him he was like play-doh and I just decided how I wanted him to shape up. "I will just let Rose know that you have more important plans and I will see her there later"
Rose, We will meet you there what time and what are we watching? ~Bella
"Wait! You didn't say anything about Rose going heck yes I am in!"
"To late Em I already told her that you said you had better things to do and that I would meet them there and just to give me the info." I replied trying to hide my smirk from him I would never be that callous with people's hearts, especially with my brothers. My phone buzzed again.
Ok bells we are planning on catching Halloween at the 9:15 showing. Alice said that we would catch the last showing so we could meet for dinner first so we can all get to know each other better ~ Rose
"Was that her? She probably thinks that I am so full of my self! Great! Thanks bells I owe you one! I swear I actually look at a girl and you go all psycho little sister on me and tell her that I am not interested and that I have better things to do seriously that is a major asshole move to make! I can't believe you did that to me! I would never….."
"EM! I was just kidding I told her we would meet them there and asked the time and what were seeing. I cant believe that you think that I would do something like that I was just trying to have a little fun with you but since you think so highly of me." I was hurt with him calling me psycho……..well you are related to this nutcase………….and I think now he really does owe me one.
"oh…….im sorry I doubted you its just that you know I had a huge crush on her when we were kids and would visit but now I feel like I have been granted a chance and destiny has smiled on me." Wow Emmett being all vulnerable was not something I was used it was extremely heart wrenching I threw my self at him to hug him
"Don't worry Em I will be sure to help you and play cupid as long as you need me but I need to warn you I kind of suck at this sort of thing considering I have never had a boyfriend." How is it that this man was my brother? He could be such a pain and then other times he could be such a sweetheart. I smiled.
"So what should I tell them they want to watch Halloween at nine fifteen and grab a bite to eat before so we can all get to know each other better?"
"tell them we will let them know about dinner but we will be there fo sho on the movie. We better call Mom and make sure they don't have something plans for us concerning dinner and we don't want to upset her."
"Wow! You being considerate of our parents wishes I think hell just froze over!" I chuckled
Rose we are in for the movie I will let you know on dinner once we get with our parents and make sure its cool. ~ Bella
Mom, Emmett and I got invited to dinner and a movie with Rosalie, Jasper and a couple of their friends. Can we go please if you and dad don't need us at home tonight. Love bells
Emmett was leaning over me reading what I was sending; he laughed and thought it was a nice touch that I was asking permission since they were always telling me back in Phoenix that I needed to make friends. So you're a loser and your parents know it ………just kidding that was way harsh.
Hey honey actually your dad and I are going to dinner alone so it will be nice to have the house to ourselves for awhile. Ya'll have fun call or text and be safe! Where are you going? – Mom
We are going to dinner with Rosalie, Jasper, Alice and Edward. Not sure where yet. Then a to see Halloween at 9:15 ~Bella
"what did she say? Do we have the all clear?"
"Yeah em she is just asking for specifics now"
So what did your parents say about dinner? ~ Rose
They said we are clear to go just wanted to know where? ~ Bella
We were thinking the City Diner that way it has a little of everything on Main 6:30 ~ Rose
Ok see you there ~ Bella
I let Emmett know where we would be eating so that if he had any complaints he could let me know ahead of time since he fancied himself a food connoisseur.
Who is Alice and Edward? And are you sure you should watch a scary movie that late Bella? You get nightmares and tell Emmett I said to stick close to you at all times – Mom
Great does that mean that he has to hold my hand while I go to the bathroom to? EEWwww because I certainly didn't want to have to hold his while he goes? Because I am sure that would be a little unpleasant!
Alice is Jasper's girlfriend and Edward is her brother. I will make sure I am with Emmett at all times unless in the ladies room and we are eating the City Diner on Main before going to the movie ~ Bella
"Emmybear mom says you have to stick by me at all times."
"Great does that mean that I have to go to the bathroom with you to?"
I couldn't help myself when he said that I started giggling so much that I got the hiccups
"I think I have hung out with you too much lately that is exactly what I was thinking when i read that particular text message. We need to get home and quit killing time so we can get ready it is already 5:30"
Okay I love you both be careful and keep in touch we will be out to dinner but home by 9. and maybe you can try talking to this Edward guy ;) – Mom
Oh leave it to my mother to try and push me onto a guy that she has never even met. For all she knows he could be this weird kid who is into mime as his future profession and goes around making hands signs that he is trapped in a box. (chuckles mentally) I wonder if you mime to a mime that you are going to tape their box shut what to the do for help??
My thought process was interrupted when we got home I ran inside to grab the shower so I could start getting dressed. I have never been one to want to dress up but after that dream I had last night I am hoping that there is something more then between Edward and I. And I couldn't wait to get to the Diner and find out………
A/N: ok so I am thinking that the next chapter will be the dinner and movie scene and who they run into at the diner? Will some other guy catch Bella's interest before she has a chance to get to know the real Edward? And I said I wouldn't do it but I am going to do it PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!! REVIEW let me know what you think, let me know what you would like to see happen or who you think the person is that they meet at the diner………if you guess it right I will let you know and you can have Icecream with Edward on top or Edward with Ice Cream on Top whatever puts the wind in your sails. I will try to get another Chapter up tomorrow
