A/N: Thank you everyone who reviewed. This chapter is shorter because if I added another event, it would be way too long. But I promise the next one will be longer.

Disclaimer: Not mine, unfortunately.

The next morning was Tuesday and Rosalie realized that today was the day they got their biology partners. Deciding to dress nicely, so as to impress whoever she got stuck with for the rest of the semester, she picked out short dark wash denim shorts, added a white t-shirt, and a blue blazer that she left open. She curled her hair into large ringlets and did her make up, topping it all off with cherry red lip gloss and a pair of white wedges. She grabbed her large Chanel purse and the tote bag she carried her books in and got into her M3, which had been brought back by one of the house maids.

She picked Alice up from the Cullen's and they made their way to school, singing loudly along with the radio and joking around, like two best friends do.

Once they got there, they found Bella and Jasper and began heading to their lockers.

"Where's Emmett and Edward?" Jasper asked.

"They needed the extra time to get ready." Rosalie smirked.

Alice laughed. "No, but they sleep later and then they get ready later so they leave later. They usually run into homeroom just as the bell rings."

"Somehow, I'm not surprised." Bella said.

The four gathered their books and went off to their respective homerooms.

"Ok, let's see." Mr. Ketler said. He looked down at his class list. "First pair is... Stanley and Newton." He marked the names off of the list. "Uhm Weber and Yorkie." He marked the names off. "Cullen and Hale."

"What?" Rosalie's jaw dropped.

"Mr. Cullen, Miss Hale." Ketler said. "He will be your partner."

"I heard you the first time. I just don't believe it."

"Unless you have a viable reason for him not to be your partner, you two can go sit at the front table in the third row." He waited for them to say something.

Rosalie opened her mouth to speak, but then decided that she didn't want her private business going around the whole school. So, she sat down in her new place and put her books on the table.

Class was dismissed soon after that and Rosalie bolted out of the room. Emmett jogged to catch up with her.

"Hale, wait up." He called. She didn't slow down, so when he reached her (which didn't take that long), he grabbed her shoulder gently and turned her around to face him. The hall was clearing out, as kids made their way to their next classes, but they both had study halls this period, so he didn't mind making her late. "We have to talk about the project."

"Great." Rosalie faked a smile. "Here's what's going to happen. I'll do all the work and sign your name on it. Sound good?"

Emmett looked down at her. "No. You know Esme would kill me if I didn't help."

"Fine." Rosalie sighed angrily. "We'll divide it up. You'll do what you have to do and I'll do what I have to do and we will meet only when we have to."

"You know, you seem pretty angry about having to work with me."

"Well, that's because I am. Ever since it happened..." She trailed off.

"Ever since what happened?" Emmett asked, feigning innocence.

"Since you know." Rosalie tried again.

"Nope." Emmett shook his head. "Can't say I do."

"Since we slept together." Rosalie said angrily.

"Oh, right." Emmett lightly smacked himself on the head. "Silly me, how could I forget that." He grinned at her teasingly, thinking how she was someone he would never forget and wishing he could read minds to hear what she was really thinking.

"God, Emmett, you didn't forget." Rosalie ran her fingers through her hair, not realizing just how much she was screwing it up.

"You were the one who brought it up." He pointed out. He thought they had reached an unspoken agreement to not talk about it.

"Look, it happened. I'm over it." Rosalie said, looking for an out.

He didn't give her one. "Obviously you're not, or else you wouldn't have brought it up."

"Well, excuse me if I had a little trouble getting past it. Excuse me for thinking that the person I trusted most in the entire world would never hurt me. Excuse me for thinking that you wouldn't go off and sleep with somebody else the night after we did. I'm so terribly sorry about that." Rosalie said sarcastically. Neither one of them noticed the gasp from behind them. "Is there anything else I should be sorry for?"

"Well, it is all your fault." Emmett shrugged. "You had way more to drink than I did."

Rosalie was livid. "My fault? If something is anyone's fault, it's yours that I'm the way I am now." Rosalie's eyes widened as she clamped her mouth shut.

Emmett frowned, all teasing gone. "Rose..." He breathed.

"Stop." She said harshly. "Stop pestering me. Stop badgering me. Stop calling me Rose. It's Rosalie. You lost the right to call me Rose when you slept with what's-her-face the next night." Her eyes began to water and he felt his heart break for being the cause of this. "Just...stop." She turned and ran away from him, towards the parking lot, but not before he saw her tears begin to fall.

He fell back against the lockers, not caring about the bump he would have on his head later. She boggled him. He couldn't believe that she blamed him for causing her to be the girl who loves 'em and leaves 'em. He tried to think back, to the days before they slept together. Pictures came flying through his head, the memories associated with the close behind.

And his eyes closed as his breath caught in his throat when he realized...

That she hadn't been lying.

"Rosalie, will you please slow down." Alice Cullen chased her best friend out of the school and into the parking lot. Rosalie didn't slow down until she reached her M3. "Rose." Alice panted.

"How much of that did you hear?" Rosalie asked quietly.

"Rose." Alice said again.

"Alice, please?" Rosalie's voice cracked and she was still crying.

Alice sighed and chose to answer her question with one of her own. "Why didn't you tell me?" She asked and Rosalie instantly knew that she had heard the whole thing.

"I was... I don't know...embarrassed?" Rosalie pushed herself up onto to the hood of her car and pulled her knees to her chest. Alice slid up next to her.

"You still should have told me. I would have understood." Alice said. "Oh God. Edward and I pushed and pushed and pushed you two to stop being mad at each other."

"It's ok Alice." Rosalie said, her tears finally stopping.

"No, it's not. My brother is such a jackass. I am going to kill him for this." Alice said.

"As touched as I am that you would kill your own brother for me, please don't." Rosalie said. "I don't want my best friend in jail."

"You're right." Alice sighed melodramatically. "Orange so isn't my color." Rosalie cracked a smile. Alice slid off the hood while saying, "See, there's a smile. Come on, let's go to Starbucks, grab some coffee or something, and you can rant to me all you want."

Rosalie slid off the hood and hugged her best friend. "Thanks." She climbed into the driver's seat. "Let's get this show on the road."

So, now we know why Rose hates Emmett. Anyone have a review?
