Rosalie POV
"Jasper I can't do this." I said looking around at all the people that crowded into the hall for the Homecoming dance.
"Yes you can." Jasper said placing his hands on my shoulders.
"No I can't. Let's just go home. There is a chocolate milkshake with my name on it." I said trying to sneak away.
"Rose, it's time. Give me my cape."
"Do I have to?"
"Go."
"Wait."
"What?" Jasper asked getting impatient.
"I need to be home before midnight." I pleaded.
"Give me your phone."
I gave him a questioning look as I took my phone off the strap of my silver 3 inch heels.
Jasper punched a few buttons and handed me back my phone.
"What?" I asked.
"I set an alarm for a quarter to 12 so you will be home in plenty of time."
"Thanks Jazz and…"
"Go."
Jasper pushed me and I started to walk down the stairs. I flicked my hair over my shoulder and started my descend down the stairs. I squinted my eyes as the spot light was placed on me and I quickly became nervous.
"Jazz." I whispered reaching the end of the stairs.
"Wow." He gulped.
"What?"
"I see what everyone was staring at. You look beautiful."
"Thanks."
"Shall we look for your prince?" Jasper asked placing his arm out.
"Why yes we should." I laughed and linked my arm through his.
Emmett POV
"Hey everyone and welcome to the Homecoming dance. Today our panel of esteemed teachers will chose our homecoming Prince and Princess. In true Forks fashion, its not about who you are…it's about what you wear. Are you ready to crank it up?" The little pixy named Alice screamed into the microphone. I looked around the dance trying to avoid Irina and her posse. I walked over to Edward and Garret and chuckled at their outfits. I turned around and saw these two adjoined cats fall down the stairs. Lauren and Jessica. What dorks. I need to stay as far away from them as possible,
"What up guys?" I asked biting the inside of my cheek to keep from laughing.
"Sorry about your costume getting lost Emmett." Edward said raising an eyebrow.
"Its all good my friends." I smiled.
"No its not all good bro. We were supposed to be the three musketeers. You get to be Prince Charming and we're the two wimps in wings." Garret sneered pointing to my costume. I was wearing a pair of hideously tight pants, a white fancy shirt, a prince-like jacket, and a pair of converse. No way was I wearing high boots, that's where I draw the line.
"Hey look at your ex." Edward said pointing to the stairs. I turned my head to see Irina, Kate, and Tanya in these slutty angel costumes. Could they ever not be the center of anything? I shook my head in disgust and smoothed my hair down as I felt Irina's eyes on me. Irina walked over towards us and smiled.
"Hi Emmy."
"Irina." I said looking away.
"So about the break up…" Irina started.
"I was serious, there is no more us or anything." I said in a harsh tone, even for me but Irina makes me do that.
"Really?" Irina asked with disbelief.
"You better believe it." I said . I stood in the corner looking for my Cinderella and waiting for 11 to roll around. I looked at the stairs and my eyes fell on an angel. There stood a tall blond goddess in a white gown. The dress was strapless and hugged to her curves before it flowed down at the waist. Her hair laid in soft curls that was pinned up away from her face. Most of her face was covered from a mask but she still looked beautiful to me.
"Love her dress, hate her." Irina sneered from next to me. I rolled my eyes and made my way towards the center of the dance floor.
Rosalie POV
Jasper pulled my arm as we maneuvered our way towards the center of the room.
"Rose don't worry." Jasper said looking at my hands that were being squished to death.
"I'm not." I lied.
"Any guy would be crazy not to like you."
"Thanks Jazzy." I smiled.
"Okay good. I'm going to go stand over here." He laughed leaving me alone by myself. I looked around and let out the breath that I was holding in. I scanned the room for anyone who could be my prince. I looked at the disco ball over me and fixed my mask so I was placed perfectly on my face. It felt weird having all the guys looking at me with lust in their eyes. I've never been looked at the way in my entire life.
"I'll have you know that you are standing directly under the dance floor my lady." A voice said from behind me. I turned around and groaned.
"Fate has brought us together, right here at this anointed hour underneath the shimmering disco ball." Alec smiled at me dressed in an outfit that looked like it can straight from Star Wars.
"Alec, are you Nomad?" I asked hoping this was a joke.
"Nomad, indeed. I have traveled through time and space to be here. Now join me in the mating dance of Zion." I looked down in shock as Alec walked around the dance floor acting like a bird or something. I turned red as everyone started to watch.
"Ca caw!" Alec screamed wailing his arms around.
"Wow, Alec that's nice." I said turning away.
"Hey I know that girl from somewhere." I turned my head to see Lauren and Jessica in an adjoined cat suit. I laughed silently at them and fixed my mask so they wouldn't be able to see my face.
"Ah?" I was dipped down low and thrown across the floor in a span of five seconds as I realized Alec was still dancing for me.
"I'm thirsty, I got to go get some punch." I said starting to walk towards the table.
"Some punch? I'll get it my lady." I shot Alec and odd look and let out this deep breath as he walked away.
"I knew this was too good to be true." I whispered pushing a curl away from my face.
"Princeton girl?" I heard this deep bass voice from behind me and I smiled. I knew that voice.
"Emmett McCartney." I said turning around and smiling. "You're Nomad?" I asked making sure this wasn't a joke.
"Yea, I guess my costume doesn't do a very good job at hiding who I am." He laughed rubbing the back of his neck. I laughed along with him and fell in love with the way our voices mixed.
"No, I know who exactly who you are and this is a mistake. I have to go." I whispered the last part picking up my dress and turning to leave. Emmett has a girlfriend, I shouldn't be doing this.
"Wait!" Emmett said screaming after me. I turned around to become face to face with Emmett.
"Wait please." he whispered looking at me. I swear my heart melted a little bit at those words.
"Don't you know who I am?" I asked with sorrow dripping in my voice.
"Of course I do, you're Princeton girl. You're the girl I've been waiting to meet. I know exactly who you are. What's you name?" I rolled my eyes at Emmett. He is just like everyone else and some how I thought he was different.
"Your punch my queen." Alec said walking over with two cups in his hands. I looked at Alec then shifted my gaze towards Emmett.
"Mr. Volturi." Emmett smirked.
"Emmett McCartney with my lady." Emmett raised an eyebrow at this comment and looked towards me. I tolled my eyes and Emmett winked in return. I bit my lip to keep from laughing and turned to Alec.
"A devastating blow, a worthy opponent." Alec bowed then walked award. I turned towards Emmett with my hands on my hips.
"What about your girlfriend?" I asked with anger hidden deep in my voice.
"We're over." I smiled at Emmett's comment and found myself with a soft blush.
"So I'm guessing you're expecting someone who hangs out at Starbuck's and writes poetry." Emmett laughed.
"Something like that." I smiled looking up into his eyes. "May I ask you something?"
"Shoot."
"How can you be the football captain, top jock and a poet at the same time? You can't be the same guy."
"I'm not."
I shot Emmett a quizzical glance. "Well then who are you?"
"On September 7, I wrote you 'I live in a world filled with people pretending to be something they're not. But when I talk to you…'"
"I'm the guy I want to be." I finished.
"Give me the chance to be that guy. Do you want to join for a walk outside?" Emmett asked. I could sense that he was nervous and this made me smile a little bit.
"What about being homecoming prince? Don't you want to stay inside to keep your crown?" I smirked.
"Honestly I could really careless." Emmett laughed. Emmett placed out his hand and left it for me to take. I looked down at his hand and then at his pleading eyes. I took his hand and watched Emmett's dimples appear. He held my hand as he led us outside. I felt this electric current go through me since I touched Emmett's hand and I honestly felt nothing like this before.
