Hi everyone. Thank yo for all your reviews. I am sad school has had such a big inpact. I am so sorry for not updating in a while, but my family was really upset I got two B'S.
''Him,'' we all said at the same time.
What was so wrong, I pointed at Edward, Alice pointed at Jasper, and Rose pointed at Emmett.
Just what we needed.
''Oh, okay. See ya' later, then,'' one of the boys said and they all hurried, probably to ask another girl.
As soon as they left we all turned towards Emmett, Jasper, and Edward. They probably htought we were crazy. I mean it was like we made the decision for them.
''I'm sorry, Edward. I guess I wasn' think-'' I started, but was stopped when he put a finger on my lips. He smiled at me, and I knew everything was okay.
Edward's POV
YES! Did this mean that she liked me, she just said that i was going to be her 'husband' for the time we were staying at the school.
I knew she was starting to babble so I put my finger on her lips to stop her. She stopped and looked up at me. I couldn't help, but smile as my eyes met those beautiful brown eyes. She smiled back, happy.
I looked at Emmett and Jasper and saw they were in similar conversation as the one I was having with Bella earlier. I looked at Bella and she was looking at Rose and Alice, too.
''So partner, want to go get the sheet that explains what we have to do?'' Bella said elbowing my side.
''Let's go, my lovely wife,'' I joked, but how I wished it were true...
She didn't respond at my joke, but we both walked up at the big satck of papers. Bella grabbed a paper and she read it over. I dind't grab one, just watching her expression. Suddenly she was staring unbelievable at the paper, so I grabbed for myself, it read:
Rules for project
1. You and you partner will have to be hancuffed to each other. Exceptions: if you need to go to the bathroom, there will be people waiting to set you free, but they must be put back as soon as you finish.
2. You would have to share a mat (your bed for the time) with her/him. If you have issues with this rule, please see a teacher.
3. No matter what you can't scream at your 'husban' or 'wife.'
4. Both of you will have to write a five paragraph essay at the end, on how well you know your partner.
5. Must perform all activities with no whining.
6. There would be NO partner changes.
7. You will have to sleep with the handcuff as a symbol you are both tied together.
8. You will have to hold hands while the handcuff is on. Exceptions: you may rest your hand after time.
9. If a girl: You would be known as your name'husband's last name.
10. If a guy: you will have too agree with your 'wife,' remember she knows best. NO ARGUMENTS
I stared down at the paper. Where they even aloud to handcuff us? I looked at Bella and she was still looking at the paper.
''Have you finish reading it, Bella?'' I asked.
''Yeah. Are they even aloud to do this?'' she asked. I shrugged.
She sighed loudly and grabbed my hand. ''Come onpartner, let's get going. You know what, though?'' she asked as we made our way towards the big table that read: Come with your partner.
''What do you mean?'' I asked back.
''I don't think my parents will mind if I get married. They barely see me, or pay atention to me,'' she said. I put a hand over her shoulder, I knew she suffered because of her parents. She barely saw them.
''Bella, you know that's not true. I am positive your parents love you, maybe even more than they love Emmett. If they even love him,'' I joked. She smiled, but I knew she was faking it.
We made our way towards the front of the table, Bella's good mood was long gone. Maybe it wasn't gone, but I was sure the whole deal with her parents affected her very much.
When we finanlly got to the front, it was late. Almost 8PM. This is what we get for the freaking blizzard.
''Miss Swan, and Mr. Cullen?'' somebody asked us at the front. Bella and I nodded.
He asked for Bella's right hand, and my left hand, so we put both our hands in front of us. He got a pair of handcuff.
''Well, in my power, I declare you husband and wife. Now can you guys please, move so we can get the next students?''
I could almost hear Bella rolling her eyes.
''Ok. We will leave, thanks,'' Bella said in a voice so serious, I tried to contain my laughter.
We got out of there, holding hands. It just felt....right.
* * * * *
Bella's POV
''No, Edward. I told you a thousand time-''
''Three, Bella. Three times,'' Edward coppied the line I had used when we were joking, just before the whole ''now you are married,'' part.
Edward and I were trying to agree in something. It was just impossible! Emmett and Rose had agreed in everything so far, and Alice and Jasper weren't that far back.
Only me and Edward hadn't eaten, Rose and Emmett got a lot of food knowing my brother. Jasper, and Alice had gotten salad, but it was alomost time to go to sleep,and me and Edward were still deciding.....between chocolate or strawberry ice cream!
Edward was just insisting that strawberry ice cream was better than chocolate. (A/N Since I have not updated. Clue: think about of Bella's chocolate brown hair, and Tanya's strawberry blonde hair.) Honestly what was wrong with this guy!
''I thought, I knew better, Edward,'' I wasn't going to give up.
''Obviously you don't if you prefer chocolate ice cream, Bella. I really, positively, am sure that strawberry ice cream is the best, in the whole entire world,'' it didn't seem he was going to give up either.
As not any of us was going to give up, we just stood there staring each other out. If he really was a gentleman, he could at least do me this favor. He was the one that suggested ice cream, and I laughed at the trully ridiculous idea of having ice cream at night.
''Please Edward, okay?''
''No,'' he said, but I backed away at his expression. It was full of determination, and it trully scared me he was this serious of getting ice cream.
I shrugged, and irritated with him, grabbed the freaking strawberry ice cream cup, and put it on our tray. I payed for the food, only having him behind me because of the dumb project.
I could hear him, trying to keep up. Of course he was slowing me down, at the same time. When we got to the table our friends were sitting at, I sat down on a chair, and put the tray between Edward and me.
I looked up, and saw all of our friends looking at us, with unbeilievable expressions.
''It took you both, ten minutes to choose ice cream with the weather outside?'' Emmett asked.
I didn't answear, just grabbed my salad, not planing to share it with Edward. He wanted his ice cream soooo much, right?
Well that was all he was getting.
''Ten minutes, though. You guys only needed to choose the flavor, man,'' Jasper interrupted the silence, after Emmett's comment.
''Well someone was being unreasonable to choose the flavor. Just kept arguing with me,'' I answered. If it was anyone's fault, it was Edward's.
''You were the one that wanted the chocolate ice cream,'' Edward deffended himself.
I could feel my insides turning red. ''What is so bad about chocolate ice cream, anyway Edward. Are you that close to strawberry ice cream? Seriously.''
''Chocolate ice cream is brown, the color of mud, and othe discusting things,'' he made a very grossed up face. If it wasn't to the fact I was mad at him, I would have thought it was the cutest expression ever. But I was mad at him, and none of his expressions were going to change that.
Brown? The color of mud, and other discusting things? When we were young, he always told me he loved my brown eyes, and brown hair. Well, that had clearly changed.
Now he thought the color was discusting, and gross?
''It is also the color of Bella's hair, and eyes, Edward,'' Alice glared at Edward. She most likely knew what I was thinking, she was sucha good friend.
''I'm sorry Bella, I didn't mea-'' Edward started.
''Leave me alone, and eat your precious ice cream, because that is all you are getting,'' I announced. Silencing him.
For the next few minutes, nobody said anything. It was oddly quiet and I hated it.
''So how are you 'marriages'-'' I was interrupted by ''For Good'' by Wicked. It was a song, Alice, Rose and I dedicated to each other, it was also my ringtone.
I reached into my pocket with my left hand (the right hand being stucked by Edward's) and looked at the screen. ''MOM'' it read on the little screen. Happy I put the phone to my face.
''Hello, Mom?'' I asked.
''Hi, baby. How are you,'' My Mom's familiar voice rang in my ears. Suddenly I was seven years old, hugging my mom. Happy.
''I'm great, mom. How are yo-''
''I'm glad, but listen. Is Emmett next to you?'' she interrupted me. Sadness, everything got a little blury.
''Yeah, I'll put it on speaker,'' I put it on speaker, between Emmett and I.
''Great, I need to speak to you both.'' I nodded like she could see me, I was just that nervous.
''There, Mom. What do you need?'' Emmett asked.
There was a pause, like she was trying to figure what she should say.
''Umm. Remember I promised you that I would be there for Christmas with your dad?''
Oh no.
''Yeah,'' Emmett answered.
''Well, we can't anymore. We got a all, and figure out that Christmas in the Bahamas would be beautiful, is it okay, though?''
Of course she wasn't going to come. Everything got a little more blury.
''Yeah,'' I managed to choke out.
After she hung up, I felt dissapointment. Then I felt something different, everything got shaky, and more blury.
Then, black.
So, a cliff hanger. Check out my new poll, and tell me what you thought about NEW MOON, THE MOVIE!
