Chapter 6: What's going on?

'She knows that when she's all alone,

Feels like it's all coming down.

The shadows are long and she fears if

She cries that first tear,

The tears will not stop raining down.'

Stand In the Rain- SuperChic

We were all sitting in the car in the school car park, giving Edward final words of encouragement.

'We all believe in you Edward' said Jasper.

'I can see you won't do anything Edward, and when have I ever been wrong? Don't worry about it!' encouraged Alice.

'Hey even if you mess up, it's alright. It's been awhile since you tasted human blood anyway; it might give you a bit of a break' said Emmett as he grinned.

He always tries to make a joke of situations, which I secretly do admire him for. I elbowed him in the ribs.

'Ow' he said, 'you're not helping Emmett' I said.

'Ok, I'm as ready as I'll ever be' said Edward and we all filed out of the car. Spanish first class.

'At least she isn't in the class' he mumbled under his breath. I bounced up to him and put my arm through his, 'It's ok Edward, you have me to replace her' I said and laughed.

Spanish went quickly; we got away with talking for most of the class. I like talking to Edward. I don't have to hide anything from him because he knows exactly what I'm like, and he doesn't hide anything from me because although I may be cold and blunt, I am the person that people can come to and talk to. It never occurred to me that we could actually be close and talk to each other without having an argument.

It wasn't long until it was lunch. It was snowing outside and when Edward and I walked outside, Jasper was right around the corner and threw a snowball right into our faces. I could have killed him, but I saw that Edward was having fun getting back at Jasper, so I joined in.

I was able to pin Emmett onto the ground and when he thought I was going in for a kiss, I threw a snowball right into his mouth and ran away. While Emmett was still on the ground, trying to get the snow out of his mouth at threaten me at the same time, Alice ran up and buried his head in the snow.

I had forgotten how much fun snowball fights were, and it took Edward's mind off of things for a while. When we went back into the cafeteria I shook my hair, letting all the snow fall out. We all took our seats and Emmett still had a huge grin on his face. Alice was gloating about how she destroyed Emmett when suddenly Emmett threw a snowball straight into her face. He had kept it at temperature in his hand. Alice's face was priceless! Emmett couldn't stop roaring with laughter.

'So Edward, what's everyone thinking?' questioned Emmett, trying to change the subject as Alice was fuming and was already devising a sweet revenge.

Edward laughed, 'well everyone is really thinking the same thing, it seems like this is really juicy gossip. They are all wondering why the big tough guy John has a huge bruise on his shoulder and won't tell even his best friends how he got it. They are also wondering why if Rosalie did really ask him out, then why is she seating over here with that huge freaky looking guy?'

'What?' I shrieked, 'Like I would ever ask that idiot out, EVER.'

Emmett just laughed 'Must have hurt himself pretty badly!' he said as he turned around and waved at John, who looked like he was looking for the nearest exit.

'She is still staring over here' commented Jasper.

'Well I was quite rude to her the first day I met her' replied Edward. But I noticed that he was taking occasional glances over at her.

'Didn't anyone ever tell her it was rude to stare?' I asked irritated.

'I like the look of her' said Alice 'there is something that I like about her'.

'Aw Alice, if I had known that you like people who stare over at us I would have tried that move on you a long time ago' said Emmett as he winked at her.

Lunch ended and everyone wished Edward good luck as his next class was Biology with her.

'Just relax and don't breathe' I whispered to him and kissed him on the cheek. I hope he doesn't screw this up for his sake as well as mine and the families.

I heard Edward chuckle, 'your confidence in me amazes me even after all these years' he said.

We were waiting in the car park for Edward. Alice had assured us everything had gone better than expected, which had been prove of Edward's big grin on his face as he walked out of the school doors. He was clearly smug about something and Alice was excited about something as she was jumping up and down, with a huge smile on her face. They both were in on something.

Alice ran over to him and jumped on him hugging him 'I'm so happy for you Edward' she squealed and then bounced back over to Jasper and got into the car.

'What are you so happy about Alice? Enlighten us' I asked irritated. They always kept secrets with each other, never letting me in.

'Nothing, yet' answered Edward as he got into the driver's seat.

It was obviously something. I hated not knowing things. People don't trust me with their secrets, but they should. I went into the back with Emmett. He kept staring outside, not looking at anyone. I saw Edward look at him through the mirror and I knew it was something. Not many people would think that Emmett could be deep, but sometimes it even still amazed me.

He could be so sensitive and he treated me like I was a fragile object when he was in this mood.

It was my turn to be sensitive and turn off my feelings for once. Emmett always paid me full attention, he always put up with me, no matter what I did or what I said.

I put one hand on his and caressed his cheek with my other hand. I turned his head and smiled at me sheepishly. I kissed him passionately and when I pulled my face away, he smiled at me. I could tell he was in a better mood than before. I loved having that effect on him. He put his arm around me and started playing with my hair.

I looked over at Jasper questionably, suddenly remembering Alice and Edward. They were probably having a silent conversation with each other at the moment. But Jasper just shrugged his shoulders, not knowing anything about this, but I knew Alice would tell him later on. I will find out what it is, they will tell me.
