I don't own anything. Thanks for all the reviews and sorry for the late update.


Emmett ended up walking me to biology, joking and laughing the whole way. I got many glares, but the most prominent was definitely Lauren's. She just seemed to pop up everywhere. I was really getting irritated with her and all the stares I was getting from everyone else. Emmett didn't seem to notice my discomfort or if he did, he didn't mention it.

"Well, see ya, Bella," he said softly, in his deep voice when we reached my classroom. He had a soft, adorable smile on his face that just barely hinted at his dimples. He looked so vulnerable and innocent in that moment and I could understand why everyone wanted a piece.

He started to lean in and I could have sworn he was going to kiss me, but at the last minute he turned slightly and his lips met my cheek. This caused my face to flame and his smile widened into a full blown grin. I found myself wishing he had kissed me on the lips. I cleared my throat to get my thoughts in check,

"Bye, Em," I said as I turned to go into the classroom. I took my seat and Edward was already there.

"There a reason your face resembles a tomato?" he asked with a smirk on his face. I shot him a glare and blushed even more.

"Nope, no reason, I'm just hot." I said, defensively. He grinned, "Don't have to tell me," he laughed, "Trust me, everyone's noticed just how hot you are." My face continued to heat up and he just sat there laughing at my embarrassment.

I had the sudden urge to slap that smile off his ridiculously beautiful face. I was saved from further embarrassment by the teacher. As he started his lesson, I noticed Edward discreetly put his arm on the back of my chair and I didn't mind as much as I probably should have, considering I had only known him a day. Mike was shooting glares at him the whole class period and barely paid any attention to the teacher.

Edward walked me to my class, which went super fast, then it was time for gym. That went horribly. We were still playing volleyball and my team of Jessica, Alice, Angela, Lauren, and me, was against Emmett, Mike, Jasper, and Edward.

I hit Mike in the head once, which caused everyone to go into hysterics and me to blush some more. I even hit Lauren once, though that wasn't much of an accident. Needless to say, we lost miserably. We quit keeping track of scores when we were down by twenty.

We had just changed and were making our way back up to the gym. Emmett, Jasper, and Edward were waiting for me and Alice.

"Bella, you want to come over now or wait 'til a little later? You could just follow us there if you want," Alice said, excitedly.

"I think I'll come over a little later. I have tons of things to finish up. How's six?" I asked, hopefully. I needed time to collect myself and get the nerves under control before spending a whole evening with Emmett. Just looking at him made me almost cream myself, I had to calm down.

"Oh, that's fine, whatever works for you!" she supplied helpfully.

"Alright, well I'll see you guys later." I said as I started to walk off. Emmett grabbed my wrist before I could get too far, "What, no hug?" he whispered in my ear, so no one else could hear.

"Don't you think that's a little fast? I mean I just met you yesterday…" I trailed off, looking up at him through my eyelashes. I didn't want to just give in that easily. I said bye to Edward and Jasper and quickly walked to my truck, leaving a very shocked Emmett. I turned back to see a pouting Emmett and a wide smirk on Jasper's face. He looked as if he knew exactly what I was trying to do.

I got home as fast as I could and ran inside to take a relaxing shower. I let out all my worries for the next couple of hours as I did homework and cleaned up the house a little, putting a load of my laundry in. 6:00 rolled around and I quickly changed into some sweats and a white v-neck.

I slipped on my black jacket and some flip flops as I made my way out the door, when I remembered that I had no idea where they lived and no phone numbers. Now how was I supposed to get there?

I was in the kitchen looking through the phone book when I heard a knock on the door. I looked out the window and saw a yellow Porsche.

"Bella!!" Alice yelled excitedly as I opened the door.

"How did you know where I lived?" I asked, suspiciously.

"Oh, dad had your address from when you were in the hospital." I just nodded and told her I would follow her there.

She didn't live far from me and she had a mansion. It was huge and absolutely beautiful. I could see why she would be able to afford a Porsche.

I followed her up the steps and she skipped on in, gesturing me to follow her. I walked in slowly. I felt like I had to be careful or I would break something. It was so pristine and clean and white. I was sure that I would dirty it up and it made me nervous. I heard yelling and recognized the voice as Emmett's.

"Do you ever shut up? I asked you to leave," he said. I couldn't help, but wonder who he was talking to. We came to the stairs and I looked up to find a very shirtless Emmett standing next to a very smug Lauren. It didn't take rocket science to guess what they had been doing.


Chapter 8...sorry it took so long to update. I just got so busy and had to go to the hospital yesterday, so I am sincerely sorry for the wait. Hopefully it was worth it. Review and let me know what you think. I don't care if you think it sucks, still review and tell me that. If you have any suggestions or feedback...PLEASE don't hesitate to let me know.
