10. Interrogations

"The little human is certainly NOT worth it," Rosalie grumbled. She had been grumbling all morning about how we were supposed to be trying to fit in. Her convertable definitly did not help our cause.

I could pinpoint the exact second each and every one of the humans heads turned to look at us. Jaws dropped, and people started squeeling, it was like a celebrity had rolled into town.

Rosalie rolled her eyes and stepped out the vehicle, along with Jasper, Emmett and I. I knew Edward would be here soon with Bella so I motioned my family to leave the parking lot.

The less negativity towards Edward, the better. I'm sure he would get a verbal throw down later, but postponing it would definitly be for the best.

As I gathered my books and sat down and my desk, I couldn't help letting my mind wander to what Edward and Bella were doing. They had arrived at school, and were now talking to Jessica.

Jesscia planned on attacking Bella with questions about the previous night, I genuinly felt bad for Bella. I turned my focus to Edward, he was planning to skip class to listen in on Jessica and Bella's conversation, how gentlemanly.

Class went by quickly, and I was very proud of Bella. She hadn't given anything away, nor had she planned to. She also answered every question accordingly, except for one, but Edward would ask her about that later.

Of course, Bella and Edward were both planning to sit with each other today, how much cuter could they get! I would definitly have to convince Edward to let me shop for him if he would be spending more and more time with Bella.

As I took my seat with my family I noticed Bella and Edward standing together in the lunch line, looking completely adorable. Edward stepped forward to the counter, getting a large tray of food.

"What are you doing?" Bella asked. "You're not getting all that for me?" Silly Edward, he knew she would object to that. Edward shook his head, and gave the money to the lady.

"Half is for me, of course." Bella looked very confsed, and intrigued by his answer, I couldn't wait to see what would happen.

In a way watching them, was like watching a soap, but not a bad one. Edward seemed oblivious to Bella's curious gazes as the sat down together.

"Take whatever you want," Edward said ans he pushed the tray towards Bella. She picked up and apple, seeming lost in her thoughts.

"I'm curious," she said. I giggled to myself, that was definitly something to be curious about."what would you do if someone dared you to eat food?" She asked.

I hadn't anticipated on Edward actually planning to demonstrate the answer to her question, but he did.

"You're always curious." He shook his head and picked up the pizza. Edward! Gross, you realize you're just going to have to puke it up later, don't you? His eyes widened as he bit off a chunck of the pizza and swallowed it. EDWARD!

"That was utterly repulsive," Jasper whispered. Emmett and Rosalie nodded in awe.

"If someone dared you to eat dirt, you could, couldn't you?" Edward asked, pulling me out of my trance. Leave it to Bella to come up with a riduculous answer to that one.

"I did once...on a dare," she began. "It wasn't so bad." Emmett snickered, along with Jasper, at Bella's off the wall responce. Rosalie mocked her and shot icy glares at her.

"Rose, be nice!" I demanded. Edward had finished chuckling now, and began to speak.

"I suppose I'm not surprised." Edward surprised? I internally laughed and continued to watch. Edward was looking over Bella's shoulder at something.

Need we review that you must talk to her to have a conversation? I thought you were past the whole non-conversation thing.

"Jessica's analyzing everything I do -- she'll break it down for you later." That definitly was not what I had in mind. Smooth move, Edward.

"So the waitress was pretty, was she?" he asked. Finally, a worth while conversation. Keep her interested. Even though we both knew she would always be interested, he was in need of a reminder.

"You really didn't notice?" Bella asked.

"No, I wasn't paying attention. I had alot on my mind."

"Poor girl." Bella retorted. That was so cute Edward! I don't know if she caught your little hint that you were thinking about her though. Reminder her again.

"Something you said to Jessica...well, it bothers me." He said.

"I'm not surprised you heard something you didn't like. You know what they say about eavsdroppers," she stated.

"I warned you I would be listening."

"And I warned you that you didn't want to know everything I was thinking."

"You did," Edward agreed. Don't get too rattled Eddie, just get to the point!

"You aren't precisely right, though. I do want to know what you're thinking -- everything. I just wish...that you wouldn't be thinking some things."

"That's quite a distinction." Bella scowled as she said this.

"But that's not really the point at the moment."

"Then what is?" Emmett and Jasper were inclined in their seats just as much as Edward and Bella were, it made me giggle. Rosalie, however was disconcerningly playing with her hair, I rolled my eyes at her pig headed-ness.

"Do you truly beleive that you care more for me than I do for you?" Edward asked. That was the cutest thing I have ever heard Edward!

"You're doing it again," Bella murmured.

"What?"

"Dazzling me," she said. Nevermind, THAT was the cutest thing I have ever heard.

"Oh." Edward frowned at her statement, but I wasn't sure why.

'It's not you're fault," Bella sighed. "You can't help it."

"Moron." Rosalie muttered from under her now folded arms. I glared at her and refocused on Edward.

"Are you going to answer the question?" He certaintly know now, that Bella was, infact, avoiding his question.

"Yes."

"Yes, you are going to answer, or yes, you really think that?" Emmett, Jasper and I laughed at his irritation, most likely making him more irritated. I knew for a fact that Emmett was taunting him in his mind.

"Yes, I really think that." Bella admitted. There was a silence that washed over their table and ours. Say something, anything!

"You're wrong." Edward whispered.

"You can't know that," Bella whispered back. She shook her head, doubting Edward, but wanting so much to believe him.

"What makes you think so?" Bella was planning a response to this in her head, and coming up short.

"Let me think," she said. Finally, after a long pause she figured out what she wanted to say.

"Well, aside from the obvious, sometimes..." She was hesitiant now. "I can't be sure -- I don't know how to read minds -- but sometimes it seems like you're trying to say goodbye when you're saying something else."

Wow, I was actually impressed that she had come up with that on her own.

"Perceptive," Edward murmured. "That's exactly why you're wrong, though," he began, but suddenly stopped. "What do you mean, 'the obvious'?"

"Well, look at me," Bella said. Don't stare too long Edward! I joked.

"I'm absolutely ordinary -- well, except for bad things like all the near-death experiences and being so clumsy that I'm almost disabled. And look at you." Bella pointed her hand towards him as she finished speaking.

Edward looked appauled that she would think such things, but returned his face to the emotionless mask once again.

"You don't see yourself very clearly, you know. I'll admit you're dead-on about the bad things," he chuckled and continued. "but you didn't hear what every human male in this school was thinking on your first day."

"I don't beleive it...," She mumbled to herself.

"Neither do I," Rose snorted. I once again glared at her, and she returned the coldness.

"Trust me just this once -- you are the opposite of ordinary." Edward said. Don't embarass her too much, you wouldn't want your love to run away! I snickered as he growled too low for Bella to hear.

"But I'm not saying goodbye," Bella reminded him.

"Don't you see? That's what proves me right. I care the most, because if I can do it" Edward shook his head, obviously struggling. "if leaving is the right thing to do, then I'll hurt myself to keep from hurting you, to keep you safe."

Could you though Edward? I don't see you being able to leave.

"Perfect, ruin our lives for the child!" Rose spat. I would definitly be having a chat with her later. Now was not the time though, I contined to watch Bella and Edward.

"And you don't think I would do the same?" Bella asked.

"You'd never have to make the choice." Edward was sulky now, which would do him no good. Brighten the mood a little Edward, stop being so serious.

"Of course, keeping you safe is beginning to feel like a full time occupation that requires my constant presence." Much better.

"No onw has tried to do away with me today," Bella said.

"Yet," he added.

"Yet," she whispered.

"I have another question for you." He stated. This might not be the best idea Edward. I could see my warning would cause no change in his plans.

"Shoot." Bella said.

"Do you really need to go to Seattle this Saturday, or was that just an excuse to get out of saying no to all your admirers?"

"You know, I haven't forgiven you for the Tyler thing yet," she warned him. "It's your fault that he's deluded himself into thinking I'm going to prom with him."

"Oh, he would have found a chance to ask you without me -- I just really wanted to watch your face," he chuckled. Well that was rude! "If I'd asked you, would you have turned me down?"

"Probably not," she said. "But I would have canceled later -- faked an illness or a sprained ankle."

"Why would you do that?"

"You've never seen me in Gym, I guess, but I would have thought you woud understand." This gave Edward an idea. Very gentlemanly of you Edward, spying on her in gym class.

"Are you referring to the fact that you can't walk across a flat, stable surface without finding something to trip over?"

"Obviously." Bella replied.

"See, she even realized she is a fool," Rosalie said, gesturing towards Bella. Yes, we would definitly be having a little chat. By now I had missed half of their conversation, making me even more angry at Rose.

I had caught the tail end of it, though. Bella would be driving on Saturday, and they would definitly not be going to Seattle.

"As it happens, I don't mind being alone with you." I heard Bella say.

"I know," Edward sighed. "You should tell Charlie, though." Stop attempting to ruin the momement Edward! I scolded him.

"Why in the world would I do that?" Bella asked.

"To give me some small incentive to bring you back."

"I think I'll take my chances." Edward looked furious, and as angry as I was that he disagreed with her, I couldn't be directly mad at him. Having people know where she was would definitly make him bring her back.

"She must really want to be killed," Emmett said. I chuckled and found myself staring at Bella, well everyone else stared at Edward. Suddenly my eyes locked with Bella's deep brown ones, and I couldn't look away.

Edward was indeed right, her eyes were captavating. As she looked away, I decided it would probably be best to leave for class now. As I left I couldn't help but laugh at Edward's words,

"Grizzly is Emmett's favorite."
