Chapter 4: Everyone go "huh?"

"Hey Ryan!" I entered the dorm much happier then when I left. Ryan seemed to notice that.

"What's got your spirits up?" Besides the fact you haven't killed Bella yet.. I let that thought slide.

"Get ready... We are going shopping!" I smiled.

"Shopping? You are excited about shopping???" Ryan gaped at me. Always so oblivious. And whose dorm was I just at? Can he not put two and two together?

"Yes... Not about the trying on tuxes part, but the getting to judge Bella's dress part. Oh and I let it slip you were dateless." I smirked. "Then asked if you could tag along." His smile faded. "I think Emma got the point." Ryan stood up quickly, obviously angry with me.

"You did what?" He didn't let me respond. "I don't need your help!.. Damn it Edward!" He glared full force at me.

"Would it help if I told you she likes you?" I asked, not letting his anger get to me. He slowly smiled.

"Really?" A slight blush painted his cheeks. I laughed. It one of those rare, and becoming more frequent, moments where Ryan showed true emotions.

"She did blush when I said you were dateless.." I smiled at him. "Not to mention her thoughts when you were alone in her dorm with Bella and herself." I frowned, still clearly remembering all of her thoughts.

"Tell me!" Ryan demanded. "I'll be your best friend!"

"You are my best friend." I smirked, thoroughly enjoying my 'torture Ryan' session.

"Please!" He frowned.

"Hmmm... Should I?" I purposely spoke slowly. "I don't know.. I don't think Emma would appreciate me spreading her personal thoughts.." I frowned, faking shame. "Oh what horror if she found out!" I placed my hand against my forehead for effect. Ryan fell to his knees.

"Please tell me!" He begged. I burst out laughing.

"I really don't wanna repeat it." I grimaced. "Its not even something I wanted to hear.." I really wished I stopped reading her mind when she even thought about how she wanted Ryan to ask her out.

"I'll do anything!" Ryan pleaded. I sighed.

"Fine.. I'll tell you.. But if this gets back to me.. I'm killing you." I smiled and Ryan nodded. "She does think you are... cute... And well.. She was hoping you would ask her out." That's all I need relive. I sighed.

"Really?" Geez, he was too fucking inquisitive..

"Ryan... you can be so dense sometimes." I muttered. "Do you not pay attention to how she looks at you?" Ryan slowly stood.

"How.. She.. Looks at me?" He muttered slowly. I nodded. "I've never noticed before.." He sighed. "I really am an idiot, aren't I?"

"The biggest!" I smiled and he laughed.

"Say, Edward..." He frowned slightly. "Do we even have permission to leave tonight?" I smiled wider.

"Of course we do. We have me." Ryan joined my laughter.

"Of course... Why didn't I think of that..." He smirked. "Oh right... I did think of that... But... Don't cha think Bella will get jealous if you go around flirting to get your way?" I froze. He had a point.

"She'll understand...I hope.." Ryan laughed even harder.

"plus, during the assembly they informed us we were allowed out if we were back by 10. Anyways.. Let's change out of these uniforms. I don't like them." Typical Ryan.

"Yeah.." I changed into a simple pair of dark jeans and black tee shirt, along with my black leather jacket. Ryan wore something similar in lighter colors. We were like day and night, but I suppose that's why we got along so well.

"Edward, I know you have a lot of time on your hands, but stop contemplating the meaning of life and come on."

"There is no meaning to life." I spoke as seriously as possible. He burst out laughing, as expected. "Come on." I began shoving him out the door.

"Hey! Let me get my cell and wallet!" Ryan laughed and I let him fall to the ground. "You're not very nice.." Ryan pouted, causing me to laugh even harder.

"Are you guys done being immature or what?" Emma's scoff caused me and Ryan to look up and laugh. They had probably just witnessed our whole argument. Emma was still in the school uniform, minus the tie. I looked over at Bella, who was shaking with silent laughter and had a faint blush painting her cheeks. Instead of the school uniform, which I much preferred (there's the guy in him.) , Bella was wearing camo pants and a thin looking black hoodie. I vaguely wondered what color shirt she was wearing.

Ryan stood and went to get his wallet. Aw... Ryan looks so cute in light colors. I very nearly smacked my forehead. Was Emma always going to be thinking about Ryan?

I never knew someone could look so good in black. I smiled towards Bella, even though she had no clue I knew what she was thinking. "Hey." She was the one who looked great in black.

"Uh.. Hi.." Bella smiled back at me, slightly nervous. He needs to quit dazzling me. Not that I don't like his smile. If I had it my way, he'd dazzle me even more… Ah! I am so contradicting myself!

"Hey Emma!" Ryan walked up beside me and smiled hugely towards Emma. Edward, if you were lying I'll find a way to make Bella hate you. I resisted laughing.

"Hey Ryan.." Emma was blushing slightly. Whether it was from his smile or her own thoughts, I didn't want to know.

"Come on... Lets get going." I extended my hand to Bella. Her scent seemed easier to be around when I was touching her skin. She accepted my hand without a moment's hesitation, causing me to smile. I think some one is in love. Ryan's thoughts mocked me. I glanced at my watch. We had ten minutes before the dinner bell rang. That was plenty of time.

"Where are we going?" Emma inquired as we entered the freezing night air. Bella shivered before I could respond, effectively distracting me. I took my jacket off, faking a shiver, and placed it over Bella's shoulders. She gratefully accepted it.

"Just a little place in the mall." That place, Edward.. come on… do they look like they wanna spend that much money? I kept quiet, though wanted to respond with a 'If Bella complained about money, I would buy it for her..' but still.. kept quiet.

"How little?" Emma frowned,

"You will see." We reached my car and I reached in my pocket for the…. SHIT!

"Forget your keys, Eddie?" Ryan laughed.

"Don't call me that." I half growled.

"I think it's cute." I heard Bella mutter and turned slightly to face her.

"You can call me that. He can't." I smiled and turned back to Ryan. He was holding up my keys. "Hand em over." Ryan shook his head. "Now."

"I brought em.. I wanna drive."

"No!" I glared at him. "Last time, you almost crashed us. I'd rather not the 4 of us become a Volvo pretzel on the way there or home." I smirked and snatched my keys. Humans had the worst reflexes.

"No fair…." Ryan complained but climbed into the passenger seat nonetheless. Emma and Bella exchanged a glance before climbing in as well. I was left standing outside, wondering what happened. When did Ryan give up so easily? Was he trying to make me look like an ass in front of Bella?

I frowned as climbed into the driver's seat. I was immediately assaulted by Bella's scent, so condensed, and confined with no means of escape. I pinched the bridge of my nose.

"You ok, Edward?" Ryan faked concern. He knew exactly what was wrong. I could've told you this would be a bad idea…

"I'm fine." I muttered, still pinching my nose.

"Don't lie. It won't help any of us." Emma frowned. "Like you said, none of us want to be a Volvo pretzel." I turned to glare at her slightly.

"Ignoring the fact you just insulted my driving, I have never crashed, never gotten a ticket, nothing."

"Not everyone gets caught." She smirked. "Plus, neither have I. I'll drive."

"I don't trust Ryan with my car…. Why would I trust you?" I scoffed, careful not to breathe in excessive amounts of Bella's scent.

"I'll." I interrupted her.

"The argument is futile. Ryan knows where we are going. I doubt you do." I opened my door and got out quickly, breathing in the fresh air. Ryan followed suit. He slammed the door shut. He must want to insult me. I quickly closed my door.

"Are you trying to make yourself out as a complete and total ass?" Ryan whispered harshly. I chuckled.

"No." I frowned quickly, seeing the serious expression in his eyes.

"Dumbass..." Ryan muttered and took the keys as I held them out. "Good luck handling her scent." Ryan scoffed.

"Good luck not making us a Volvo pretzel." I muttered and walked around to the passenger door. It would be a relief to not have to worry about Bella's safety and not ramming my Volvo into a tree. Emma opened her door.

"Wanna switch?" Emma winked at me. I rolled my eyes and nodded, taking my rightful seat next to Bella and grabbing her hand. A soft blush crossed her cheeks, causing me to smile.

"Quit smiling at Bella and tell me where we are going." Ryan snapped, a tone of humor was in his eyes though. You are enjoying this fling with Bella a little too much for a vampire who will out live her. He had to think that…. Damn dumbass… Bella's delectable blush filled my nose. I smirked.

"Don't be jealous Mr. Short Attention Span. Plus, we've already stated the place that we're heading." A blush covered Ryan's face. I burst out laughing. He needs to quit having fun at Ryan's expense. That thought, shockingly, came from Bella. Ryan backed out of the parking space and took off… going about my normal speed of 100 once we hit the highway.

Bella's hand gripped mine tightly. Ryan was scaring the crap out of her. I unbuckled my seatbelt and moved closer to Bella. Her eyes widened as I laid her head against my chest and held her close. Holy shit! If it was possible to sigh in your mind, she just did.

I smirked and kissed her hair. Yes, she was defiantly someone who I could get used to having around.
