A/N: I'm glad to say that most of you agree with me that after Bella's birthday you all thought that Edward finally is starting to redeem himself. I can promise you that over the next few months, Edward will continue to redeem himself.

Also, I know many of you would love to see Edward's theories on how to make Mike pay come true. However, remember, we don't really want to have Edward expelled from school because he made Mike pay. I can promise that this chapter will however make you all cheer in regards to Mike. There's also something else to make you cheer in here, but no hints, you'll just have to read. This chapter is also a little bit of a filler, but still will make most of you happy.

DISCLAIMER: I'm not Stephenie Meyer. I own nothing TWILIGHT related, but hope you will still read this story.

Now, on we go…

March

After my birthday, things got back to normal. I ate lunch with my friends, and only spent one day a week in the gym, but only when I needed to catch up on homework or have quiet time to read. Getting back into the groove of things with Edward was simple. We talked between and during classes. That is, when he wasn't with Lauren. Lauren still wasn't happy about Edward and I remaining friends, and made her opinion of that known whenever I was around her. I learned to ignore her, and do my best to avoid her when possible. I didn't flaunt the jewelry Edward bought me for my birthday and did my best to stay in a good mood regardless of the comments and rumors Lauren and Jessica would spread about me.

By the time Emmett's birthday rolled around, I was starting to feel the need for a spring break. Thankfully, spring break was just a few short weeks away during the first week in April. Emmett was excited to be turning 16 finally and was saving every spare cent in order to buy himself a jeep. Rosalie had offered to help him fix up any car he got. Rose was really the mechanic of our group.

I woke up early on Emmett's birthday. I had don't my best to keep Emmett's gift a surprise. I actually hadn't spoken much to my brother since I found out that our parents were in fact buying him an old silver jeep. That way, I couldn't spoil his surprise considering I cannot lie very well. Emmett's savings would be able to be spent on accessories and gas for his car that way. I bought him some seat covers and steering wheel cover as his birthday gift. He would get to open my gift first, get confused or excited, move on to mom and dad's gift and then turn into a giddy little kid. Emmett was in for the surprise of his life.

Our friends came over for dinner and cake that afternoon. Most of them knew about the surprise, and Alice looked like she was going to bounce right off the couch while we were getting ready for Emmett's present. Edward and Jasper sat on both sides of her, holding her in place while Emmett started opening gifts. Rose had given him a coupon book where all the coupons promised her "mechanical services". Jasper got him a gas card to help chip in for gas. Edward and Alice bought him a gift certificate for two free oil changes. Next, he opened my gifts.

"Gee guys. You all must want me to start driving you to school once I find a jeep to buy. Is that why you're so nice to me?"

We all giggled. "Of course, big brother. I'm expecting the first ride in the jeep as well. I wouldn't mind a ride to and from school every once in a while either." I smiled at him while he debated whether Rose or I would get the first ride.

Finally, Charlie and Renee gave Edward his gift. It was actually a picture of his jeep sitting in the garage. However, they had wrapped his gift in about 20 boxes, each with different wrapping paper and inside of one another. It took him about 10 minutes to get to the actual picture inside. When he did, he just sat and stared at the picture for a few minutes. Then he bolted to the front door and was in the driveway before anyone had a chance to move from the couch. We all sat and waited until we heard him shouting for joy at his car inside the garage. His outburst caused each of us to burst into laughter. Alice stood up and grabbed my gifts and carried them outside so Emmett could put them inside his vehicle. Mom and Dad has also filled the tank, so we were all quickly inside the jeep and Emmett was driving up and down our street. Rose got to sit in the passenger seat while Edward, Alice, Jasper, and I all squished into the back. The jeep was big enough that we were all pretty comfortable. We returned to the house after an hour and finished Emmett's birthday party with cake and ice cream. Soon all our friends were leaving. We said goodbye and couldn't wait for our ride on Monday to school.

Monday, we arrived to school in the jeep. Most of our fellow students all stared at this massive vehicle and laughed when it looked like a clown car with so many of us getting out of it. Two people who did NOT look pleased were Mike and Lauren. Mike had no claim to me, and we barely even talked anymore in study hall. So he just glared in our general direction before heading off to his first class or the morning. Lauren however, stalked right over to where we were all standing.

Under her breath, Alice began humming the "wicked witch" theme from Wizard of Oz. this caused most of us to laugh. However, Edward turned to glare at his sister. Alice and I started walking away from Edward, but I couldn't control my giggles. I had to hand it to Alice, her song selection definitely seemed appropriate. Especially when we started hearing Lauren's voice above everyone and everything else. She was yelling at Edward for not picking her up and probably a million other things he was doing wrong. I tuned Lauren out as I started walking to Spanish.

I was soon sitting in "la clase de Espanol" and soon Edward was sitting beside me. I almost didn't notice him because he came in silently and had his head ducked down. He looked upset, so while the teacher wasn't looking I wrote him a note and slipped it onto his desk.

Edward, what's wrong? Are you all right? You look like someone just ran over your dog or something. Did Lauren get testy this morning?

Edward looked down at the note and quickly wrote a reply, but he kept it sitting on the corner of his desk. He sat silently and stared up at the teacher. He seemed to be thinking about something, but he never looked over at me. He slipped his response on my desk shortly before the end of class. I barely had time to read it before the bell was ringing, signally the end of class.

Yeah, I'm fine. The dog is fine too (ha ha) Lauren was just being a… well, I guess she was just being herself. Nothing is wrong anymore. I mean, I think I figured out how to be happier. So anyways, Lauren and I broke up.

A/N: REVIEW PLEASE. Let me know what you think. I know this was a shorter chapter, but some things in here should have made you smile.
