Next chapter! So far, I've gotten 141 reviews. Remember 150= a present from me to you. The only suggestion I've gotten is an extra long chapter, so if I get no more it'll be that. Just letting you know. You can suggest whatever you'd like, e.g. a whole chapter of EPOV etc etc. I'd like to thank everyone who reviewed and suggest a certain story. It's called Renesmee lost by gempire. I don't think many have read it. I've recommended it before but it's really good. Go check it out. Okay, on with the chapter. Don't forget to review!

BPOV

The big one, the male, had a booming voice that filled the room. 'Hello,' he said, 'My name is Emmett McCarthy and this is my girlfriend Rosalie hale.' He pointed to the beautiful blonde. She hung onto his arm possessively and looked scornfully at the human girls. Emmett simply looked down at her with an amused expression on his face. A collective sigh of disappointment went through the room when they realised that the two newcomers were taken. Emmett laughed and Rosalie glared. I began to wonder if she was capable of anything but.

As the two of them walked by our desk to sit down, Edward put his arm around me protectively, in case the vampires were dangerous. As they walked by, Emmett winked at me and Edward's hold tightened indefinitely. Alice had really held out on us. This was obviously what her vision was about. She could have given us some warning. That pixie would have a lot to answer for when I got my hands on her.

The day dragged on. We were eager to speak with the two new vampires. I was right about jasper and Alice missing the second lesson, though I did not particularly wish to dwell on that fact. Edward and I shared most of our lessons that day, which helped to make them somewhat less mind-numbingly boring.

Finally, it was lunch time. The sound of the student body making their way to the lunch-room filled the air. The four of us walked towards it in what felt like slow motion. I itched to run, but the humans would notice and there would be no logical explanation for the fact that I was able to move so fast that I blurred.

We reached the lunch-room after what felt like eons. Upon our entrance the usual silence descended upon the room. Over time, it had become easier to ignore. We scanned the room for the others, but could not see them. I sighed and made my way to buy the food that I would never eat. The others did the same.

The four of us sat together and kept a watchful eye on the room. We were waiting for the new vampires, Rosalie and Emmett, to enter. It wasn't long. The whole room descended in silence, again. The students looked on in awe as the two inhumanly beautiful individuals sauntered over to us. Unlike us, they seemed to relish the attention. They bathed in it, whereas we simply shied away.

They reached our table after a painfully long time. Emmett plopped down on a seat across from Edward and I. Rosalie gracefully lowered herself onto the seat right next to him. Emmett got straight to the point, stuck out his hand and said, 'Hello, my name is Emmett McCarthy. This is my mate Rosalie. It's good to find some other vampires who drink animal blood.' He said this in such a casual manner that I couldn't help the unladylike snort that escaped my lips. Rosalie shot me a withering look and Emmett grinned at me and said, 'I think I'm going to like you.'

All through lunch we had discussed matters with the new vampires. Alice had apparently seen that they would join our family. Edward and I thought that we should actually ask esme and Carlisle first, but of course they would be thrilled with the idea. Plus, you should never bet against Alice.

We arrived home that day with the newcomers in tow. When esme saw us her mouth formed a perfect o. As soon as Alice had informed her of the situation in her normal energetic manner, Esme's entire face erupted in pure happiness. She immediately called Carlisle home from the hospital and he of course was just as happy. I couldn't exactly say that I shared the feeling; Rosalie wasn't the nicest of people. Edward apparently agreed. He was giving her a wide berth, apparently Miss Ice Queen was used to every man she met falling at her feet, and the fact that he was 'single' and had absolutely no interest in her was a 'great insult'. I pointed out that she was taken, but she said and quote, 'It's not my fault that men fall all over me, I'm just so beautiful. Of course, you wouldn't know anything about that.' Such a modest, lovely, kind girl. Just the kind you'd want to join your family. Just in case it wasn't evident, those words should be served up with a vat of sarcasm.

When all the excitement had somewhat died down, I went to my room. Edward came with me. He told me that Rosalie scared him, which made perfect sense, if you ask me. I began to read and Edward lay down and hummed a lullaby he was working on. It was peaceful and we simply enjoyed each other's company. Suddenly, there was a loud crash and an ear splitting scream of horror. I felt fear stab through me. Edward looked just like I felt. We rushed out of the room, heading for the origination of the sound. We arrived at Emmett and Rosalie's room. I had a bad feeling about this. The door was wide open and esme was standing outside of it with her hand to her mouth and a shocked expression on her face. I really did not want to look in the room. Unfortunately I could not help myself. The first thing I noticed was a mess of splintered wood and ripped fabric. With a start, I realised that it was once a bed. I put two and two together and realised what it was that I would see next and closed my eyes so that I would not have to have that particular image burned into my memory for the rest of eternity. Edward seemed to have the same idea. Emmett's voice came from the room, 'Hey everyone, could you close the door?' Ugh!

We all had the misfortune of learning that Rosalie and Emmett were, what someone would call, sex-fiends. Lucky us. I am officially scarred for life. I heard things that no-one should ever have to hear. I would not inflict it on my worst enemy. (A/n: I would heeheeheeheehee) Well, maybe Tanya. (A/n: again heehee!)

School continued to be, mind-numbingly boring. No surprises there. Emmett was growing on me, though Rosalie continued to be an unnecessary thorn in my side. Apparently the feeling was mutual. Emmett seemed to like telling jokes, and pulling jokes. Anything that involved jokes really. They were generally vulgar. Actually, they were always vulgar. I remembered the time when he found out that Edward and I were, in fact no mates and only pretended to be at school. One of the most embarrassing conversations of my existence. He then went on to ask if we slept together for convenience and why we didn't make it official. Mortifying. Then, unfortunately for us, he figured out that we're both virgins. The fact that I was over three hundred years old and had not yet had sex had him rolling around on the floor in stitches. Now, at every opportunity, Emmett announced to the room at large that Edward and I were giant prudes. A bit of warning Alice? Would that really have been so much to ask for? Just a teeny-tiny little bit?!

One day, just like any other, we were sitting in class. Rosalie and Emmett were missing. The rest of us were under no illusion as to what it was they were doing. To be frank, each other. We didn't see them for the rest of the day, which was odd. They usually at least came to lunch. When we arrived home, we found out why. They had been caught in the act. By the principle. And they were suspended. They would have been expelled if it weren't for the 'generous' contribution to the school that esme and Carlisle had given. I couldn't help it, I burst out laughing. 'Nice one, Emmett! Did you forget to lock the door or something?!' He simply glared at me and crossed his eyes like a petulant child. 'Yes, I did actually.' He grunted. Rosalie actually smiled slightly at me; maybe there was hope for her after all.

Over the next while, Rosalie and Emmett refrained from their activities while at school. The staff was watching them like hawks. If it happened again, no amount of money would prevent expulsion. I was sitting in my room one evening reading a weathered copy of Jane Austen's pride and prejudice. First edition. A knock sounded on the door. Thinking it was just Edward I said, 'Come on in, Edward.' The last person I expected came through the door, Rosalie. 'Not Edward.' She said with a wry smile. 'Um, hello Rosalie. How may I help you?' I asked confusedly. She came over to my unnecessary bed and sat down on the end. I looked at her quizzically and waited for her to begin.

'Well, ahem,' she started, 'this is slightly awkward, but, are you sure that you and Edward are not mates?' what?

'Yes,' I replied 'Quite sure, yes. What has brought this on?'

'I'm really not trying to be rude', she replied. 'But I really think you are fooling yourself. I've seen the way that he looks at you and in those looks is nothing short of pure adoration. I've also seen the way you look at him; you may not even notice it. But you look at him the exact same way. You may not know why I'm telling you this; we didn't really get off on the right foot. I also know that it was mainly my fault. For that I'm sorry. The reason I'm telling you this is because, without Emmett, I'd be lost. I love him so much and I'm extremely happy. And I think that if you and Edward gave it a try, you'd be the same. It can't be easy being the only two single people in a house-full of people who are in love. Just think about it okay, and maybe talk to Edward about it.' Then she left, without even giving me a chance to say anything.

Well, I thought to myself, that was... unexpected. Obviously I was wrong about her. I should go talk to Edward.

EPOV (Edward)

I was sitting at my piano, working on a new composition, when Emmett came in. I looked up a him questionably and asked him if I could help him. He seemed serious for once. I don't think that it was a good thing. I was used to seeing him laughing and boisterous, and listen to his vulgar comments about how I was still a virgin. He sat down beside me and was quiet for a moment. I waited patiently for him to begin. Then he turned to me and said, 'Are you sure that you and bella are not mates? Because, man, I've seen the way that you look at her and that's not friendship, believe me. You're completely and utterly in love with her, and from what I can see, she feels the same way. Go talk to her. You won't regret it.' Then his face erupted in a cheeky grin and he turned back into the original Emmett. 'Hey, maybe then you'll finally get some, eh?' He laughed and left the room. I was completely shocked at what he had said and had a delayed reaction. 'Do not speak that way of bella', I growled. But he was already gone. Should I take his advice? Yes, I should. I left the room and found her quickly. She seemed to have been looking for me too. The others were nowhere to be seen. It was the perfect opportunity. 'Bella,' I said. 'We need to talk.' 'I know', she replied. 'Bella, I..,' I started.

Cliffy! Random question: What are you afraid of/ what do you hate? Me? Spiders, I hate them, their legs freak me out. 8 legs on something is creepy and unnatural. :) Just saying.

Enjoy the chapter? Let me know! Review!

Ps I know you want to kill me for the cliffy. I'm sorry! I couldn't resist. It was just there staring me in the face. : L

Thanks for reading,
