Awright! We got in Eddies sad sad story, poor boy! And Rose has already found a love interest, the lovely Jeep owning Emmett. Surprise.
You know I love you all, but I'm trying to make my chapters longer, which is good, but it takes longer to get them out, which is bad. Plus, I have exams all this week. Lol, k so my friend is all "Hey, d'you know how to tell the difference between an American and a Canadian?" and I'm all "No, how?" So she's just like "The Canadian says: So, when do you have EQAO? And the American's all: What?" Yeah, I thought it was funny. Disclaimer!
In front of studio at 6 ( six )
Disclaimer: Okay, I'm outside the studio. It's six… I wonder where he could be?
Limousine pulls up and a chauffer comes out.
Chauffer: Madam, your date is awaiting you at Chez Le Ritz for your dinner. I will be escorting you there * opens limousine door *
Disclaimer: Wow, this is fancy! I wonder who could afford this? Do I own Twilight or RMCF?...No, no I don't…

Chapter 4: Not Gay After All
BPOV
My morning classes were over and I met up with Alice and Rose on their way to the caf.
"So guys, you don't mind if Hulk that Rose was drooling over and his cousin Ed… something… sit with us, right?" Rose looked panicked at me. "What's your problem Rose? He saved me from Mike, so I decided to do a nice thing and invite them to sit with us."
"I think it's a great idea, but what's the other guy's name? I remember meeting a new guy in one of my classes who definitely wasn't Hulk-"
"His name is not Hulk it's Emmett! Stop calling him that!" Rose nearly yelled from her spot on the right of me.
"Calm down Rose, it's just a nickname," I soothed. "He even came up with his own for Ali over here."
"What is it!?" She squealed out. Alice loved nicknames.
"We were writing notes and he called you Pix. Like, short for Pixie." Rose was glowering at Alice and I. "What Rose?" silence…ohhh. "Don't worry Rose, he's not my type, and Alice already has a soul mate." She relaxed and smiled.
"Sorry, I just haven't felt like this about a guy. It's weird… So Pix, tell us about Muscle Man's partner in crime." Rose directed at Alice.
"Well, first of all his name is Edward, not Ed-something, and he shot down every girl that came up to him. He's not super muscly like Hulk, but definitely strong, weird colored hair and bright green eyes. He's cute, but I prefer my blond cowboy!" Speak of the devil and he shall appear. Jasper wrapped his arms around Alice's torso from behind earning a squeak from her.
We walked into the caf and sat at our usual table. Alice and Jasper went to get our food in the lunch line while Rose and I held our spot.
"So Rosie… you know our deal is still on even if you're providing protection," I whispered to her.
"Bella, I would've helped you pay anyway. As long as I got a turn once in a while." She smirked, then suddenly her eyes widened and she looked down, hiding behind her hair. I looked in that direction only to see Massive Man coming up with his tray of food.
"Hey Ladies. Hmm, something is missing, where's Pix?"
"Right here!" she yelled from behind him, making Emmett almost jump out of his skin. We all laughed at Emmett's frightened expression.
He straightened himself out and sat next to Rose, while Alice and Jasper sat beside them.
"So Muscle Man, where's Edward? Did he find his own table?" I asked, and Emmett started snickering. "What?" The whole table was officially laughing now. "Someone tell me what's funny! C'mon, I like a joke just as much as the next person," I tried but they looked like they could barely even breath.
"I believe Edward didn't find his own table, but could see his massive cousin sitting with three lovely girls," said a smooth voice from behind me. I turned only to be met by the most gorgeous man I had ever seen. Wild copper hair that screamed sex, chiseled jaw, pouty man-lips and gorgeous emerald eyes. God… wow.
It took a moment for me to form a coherent sentence, let alone making it joking, if not a little shaken. "So, you're the infamous Edward eh?"
"Yes that's me. May I take a seat?" He was so polite, nothing like Emmett.
"Um sure." Brilliant response.
He sat down next to me, seeing as that was the only spot left at our table. I sensed someone looking at me and turned my head to the left. Jessica and Lauren, the school sluts, were glaring right at me. Weirdos…
"So Bella," I was broken out of my glaring contest with the personified S. T. I. 's by Alice, "what classes do you have next? I want to see if I have any classes with my sisters! I already know that Rose and I have Gym together last period and History second period, but seeing as you weren't in any of my morning classes I couldn't ask!" I pulled out my schedule and smiled.
"We all have Gym together! But I've got Bio next, you?" Alice squealed but was cut off by Quiet Ed.
"I have Biology next as well, and Gym last too." He seemed genuinely happy. God, I wish I could just…ok, I've gotta have more control. I mean I just met this incredible, sexy, alluring… what was I talking about?
"Yay!!! We all have Gym together, except Jazzy, but he has a spare." Emmett and Edward started snickering as Jasper's face turned red. "What?" asked Alice, completely oblivious.
"Jazzy seems a bit too girly for the burly blonde."
Uh oh. Alice started her storm face. She was small, but could be very intimidating. Jasper put his arm around her shoulders and she visibly relaxed.
"At least I have a girlfriend who loves me enough to give such a loving nickname." Rose and I awed at their cuteness. They're so sweet.
"Umm, guys? We've barely eaten and lunch is almost over!" They looked shocked for a few moments then started shoveling in our food.
I got up to leave when a hand grasped around my wrist. A warm pulse of electricity shot up through my arm and Edward quickly let go.
"I'll walk with you to Biology, if that's alright with you Bella?" I was shocked but nodded and we left the cafeteria walking side by side.
"I've gotta go to my locker," Edward said as we turned away from the Biology building.
"No problem, I've already got my stuff." I followed Edward to his locker. He opened it up and a mountain of sheets fell out.
"What in the world?" He began picking up some of the papers and read one of them. He froze.
"Edward? You okay?" I went down to pick up one of the other sheets when his hand once again graced my own. The same shock passed, but he didn't let go this time.
"It's all trash Bella. I'll just grab a garbage can and dump it all in." He went around the hall in search of a garbage. I picked up one of the pieces and was absolutely shocked by what I saw.
( Jos. Louis break!... What, I can't have chocolatey desert cakes? )
It was notes and pictures from almost every slut at the school, even the ones who had boyfriends. There were numerous cell phone numbers, notes to meet in the janitor's closet, pictures showing off their pushed up boobs. What the hell? I guess if Edward had all these options… but then why was he throwing them away? I'm certain any other guy would be proud and keep these. Was he gay? No, couldn't be… could he?
Edward came back then with a gray garbage can and I helped him get all the booty call notes into the bin. That's when the warning bell rang.
"Umm, ok, so let's just trash these quick, the hall's going to fill up in about…2 minutes," and with that we began shoveling faster. We finally got them all in.
"Thank you Bella, I'm sorry. Let's go, we can't be late on our first day." Edward just about closed his locker, but this time I reached to stop him. The primary shock had turned into a slow, steady burn with a pleasant tingle.
His eyes met mine, and I felt as if in a trance. His deep, soulful eyes going on and on, endless pools of liquid emeralds that I dove into so readily. Their almond shape and his thick eyelashes, my small hand on his large one, the burn spreading throughout me. It was then I noticed how close we were, my face merely two inches from his, his lips looking so inviting, his eyes begging silently for me to come closer, his hair screaming to have my hand weave through it.
The sound of footsteps brought me out of my trance, and I remembered why I had stopped him.
"You forgot to get what you even came for, Edward." His name coming from my lips felt so right, so amazingly wonderful. Different in a stupendous way.
A mellifluous blush tainted his cheeks and he mumbled in his silky smooth voice:" Oh right." He chuckled a bit shakily and grabbed a one shoulder, black book bag.
Our walk to the Biology room was a little awkward, neither of us saying anything. Well what would you say? "Oh so how were your morning classes? I preferred lunch because I met the hottest guy on the planet then got lost in his eyes wishing I could just take his lips in mine, oh and by the way, that's you! And that same guy had hundreds of notes from girls who were all too willing to hop on his dick, but he threw them out, so I think he might be gay!" yeah, no way. So we just walked into the room. I took a seat at the back left double table while Edward went to ask to sign his new kid slip.
By the way I was being pointed at, I was assuming Edward was assigned to sit next to me. I just pulled out my spiral notebook and began doodling. I heard the stool next to mine being pulled out and I looked up in acknowledgement. But I didn't see the sea green eyes I was expecting, it was Mike.
"So Bella, I see your buff friend isn't around." He leaned towards me and I, in turn, leaned far back, so I was almost against the wall, "so I suggest that you take me up on my previous invitation. I'd hate to see something bad happen to that pretty face of yours." He reached his hand out, about to stroke my cheek when, out of nowhere and for the second time today he was yanked by the scruff of his collar away from me. But this time it was Edward who pulled him away.
"I believe that's my seat," Edward simply said. His voice wasn't loud, but menacing enough that even I shook a little.
"I don't see your name on it," Mike countered.
"Look creep, either you leave peacefully or I will personally castrate you with a spork." Wow, now I didn't ever think Edward would be vulgar. I've gotta say, it was hot.
Mike just slinked away as Edward glared after him. He suddenly turned to me. "Are you okay Bella? I'm so sorry. If he hurt you in any way, he'll pay, oh will he pay. Even if he lay a single finger on you, it'll come off."
"I'm fine Edward, just a little shaken. That's the second time he's done that today, except it was Emmett who threatened him." I chuckled a bit, but Edward seemed furious.
"He's done this twice? That lurker is in serious trouble…" he looked fuming, then his expression softened a bit. "So, how are you liking your classes?"
"Wow Edward, your mood swings just might give me whiplash!" I joked with him. It lightened the mood instantly. "My classes are great, I hate Math though, too many numbers." He laughed at my expression and loosened up some more, "how are yours?"
He seemed to really think about it and a lopsided grin spread across his face. One word. Smexy ( Smexy: mixture of smokin' and sexy ). "Well actually, I really like Biology, because I get to sit with this absolutely gorgeous, witty and amazing girl with stunning deep chocolate eyes ( mmm… that was one tasty Jos. Louis! ) "
Did he really just say that? I just sat stunned as Mr. Banner called the class to attention. For the rest of the period, I couldn't even remember what had happened, I was too caught up in thinking about what Edward said. Maybe he isn't gay after all…
WOW! That was long! Okay, so you all know I love that leather jacket that Bella has, right? Well, I just bought it! I finally got enough money and I swear I was running around the house screaming "IT'S MINE! IT'S MINE!" wearing the jacket. I'm so damn happy! So, I hope I made you almost as happy as I am right now!
Also, my poll is still up, I haven't checked it in a while, but I have no doubt that Seventeen Forever by Metro Station is still winning, so go vote! Also, I want to start putting super songs at the beginning of each chapter, so send me your suggestions for awesome songs and they'll influence the chapters
Note: If I get no songs before the next chapter is written, I might have to choose a sad song…
Love and Chocolate and possibly my longest chapter EVER,
Iris 3
