Ok, I know I haven't updated in a while… computer trouble =(…. But I promise it will be up faster in the future. I'd like to thank everyone who reviewed, and I hope you all enjoyed your sneak peeks! And here is Chapter 3:
Disclaimer: Sometimes I dream that I own twilight. But then I wake up to reality. =(
As I trudged my way to lunch with Alice and Emmett, I tried to figure out where I had heard of Edward before. I glanced nervously at Alice and Emmett, who were walking happily alongside of me. I hoped that Rose and Jazz accepted them as kindly as they had accepted me.
Of course, Alice and Emmett at least look the part. Like Rose and Jazz, Alice and Emmett were absolutely gorgeous. Alice was tiny, pixie-like in her looks, and about 5' tall. Her angular face gave her stunning features, and her short, jet-black hair really brought out her bright green eyes. Now that I looked at her, I could see the resemblance between her and Edward. They had almost the exact same green eyes, though Edward's were a bit brighter (not that I noticed or anything). Emmett was huge. He made my 5'4" look like nothing. However he was surprisingly graceful for such a large guy. He was just as gorgeous as his siblings, with his curly brown hair, bright blue eyes, and boyish smile.
As we entered the cafeteria, I could already hear the whispers and feel the stares burning into my back as we walked to the very last table. Rose and Jazz were already there waiting for me. I glanced at Rose and Jazz's reaction to the newbies I was bringing over. To say I was shocked would be an understatement.
Both of their eyes were practically popping out of their heads. Rose had her gaze fixed on Emmett while Jazz was staring intently at Alice.
I mentally smacked myself in the forehead. Why had I not noticed it before?? Rose needed I guy that was strong and protective, but good natured and a bit of a goofball. Emmett fit that description beyond perfectly. Alice's crazy, bouncy energy would be perfectly balanced by Jazz's cool and calming nature. They were perfect for each other. Well I guess it was time to play matchmaker!!! EEK! Oh man, just one period with Alice and she's already rubbing off on me!
I sauntered over to the table with a new spring in my step. When they saw me, they snapped out of their ogling. Jazz sprang up and gave me a huge hug. Just as Rose is practically my sister, Jazz is the big brother I never had, so a hug was not out of the ordinary. However, like me, he didn't normally show emotion in front of a lot of people. Once he released me, I laughed and looked up at him.
"What was that for?" I asked. He just shrugged.
"I didn't get to give you one this morning." I laughed again and turned to make some introductions. Emmett was now grinning at Rose, but Alice looked like she was about to cry. I was about to ask her what was wrong, before I realized what Jazz and my hug might have looked like to someone who didn't understand our relationship. I quickly explained.
"Guys," I addressed Alice and Emmett, "this is Rosalie and Jasper Hale. They're my best friends, practically siblings actually." I looked pointedly at Alice, and she grinned sheepishly at me.
"Rose, Jazz, this is Alice and Emmett Cullen." And that's all I had to say. They immediately hit it off, and were talking as if they had known each other all their lives. I breathed a sigh of relief.
In no time, Alice and Emmett had filled Rose and Jazz in on my embarrassing first period while I sat there blushing like there was no tomorrow. Rose and Jazz were laughing hysterically.
"Honestly Bella, I've never met another quite like you," Jazz said, wiping tears of mirth from his eyes.
"I wish I could have seen it. You telling off Edward Cullen for signing your English paper and then telling him you had no idea who he was!!" Rose was sent into a new fit of giggles, but something she said sent off fireworks.
"Wait a moment, Edward Cullen; that was the guy you were going on about this morning. What's his deal??" I asked.
The four of them exchanged looks. I waited for someone to take pity on me. Alice did.
"Bella, my brother is kind of a celebrity…"she said hesitantly. I slumped into my seat in shock and confusion. And being as wonderful with words as I am I said:
"Like a celebrity, celebrity?" They chuckled at me and nodded. I thought back to what I had yelled at him in first period.
It's like you think you're a celebrity or something!!
Well I felt kind of stupid.
"But how come I haven't heard of him??" Rose laughed at me. How come everyone's laughing at me today?!?!
"Bella, honey, you don't know anything about celebrity's or anything like that. Face it; you practically live in your books." I frowned at that, but resisted the urge to stick out my tongue and say "Do not!!" like a five year old.
"Yeah, Bells, when it comes to fame, you may as well be living under a rock," Jazz chimed in.
What, do you live under a rock or something??
All of my anger from before flooded back, full force.
"Just because I didn't know who he was gives him no right to be so rude. I mean, just because he's famous, I should excuse him for ruining my paper?"
"Bella?"
"I don't understand how someone could be such an egotistical, pigheaded, over the top…"
"Uhh Bella?"
"…stupid, spoiled, underestimating…"
"Bella!"
"…self-absorbed, conceited, stuck up, vain…."
"BELLA!!"
I stopped my rant and looked at my horror struck friends.
"He's right behind me, isn't he?"
Ok. So sorry about the length, but I wanted to get something up. The next chap. Will be coming very soon… Thank you so much for the reviews… I do love them very much.
