A/N: Chapter 9 right up! Title should give you a clue. Okay, a reviewer asked me this question and I thought I'd answer it here. The reason that people stare at Edward but is too afraid to talk to him is because he's been reclusive and shut up ever since his Mother's death. He'd keep everyone out, answer with one word or shoot death stares, you know? So people are afraid of approaching and confronting him. And he likes it. Anyways, thanks for all your reviews! 231 reviews as I type now! Hana Kimi scenes involved in this chapter! x) Review people!

My English class pulled by in monotony as the teacher droned on and on about Shakespeare and his wonderful works. Apart from the music class, all the rest of the classes were absolute rubbish. Every minute spent away from music was a wasted minute.
"Oi! Isaac! Can I borrow a pen?" I felt a thud on the back of my head. A balled up paper fell out from my hair. I turned around to see Joshua grinning sheepishly at me.
"Yeah, here you go," I handed him my spare pen and turned back to my daydreaming.
I was beyond grateful when English class ended. I picked up my school bag and followed Joshua out to lunch. His group of cronies waved furiously at us as we made out way towards them, laughing.
"Yo, Isaac, Joshua. How was class?" Tyler laughed as he patted my back and motioned for me to take the seat beside him. I started to make my way towards him.
"Boring as, man," Joshua snickered as he settled down; taking out his lunch that he had bought earlier.
"Isaac, you can't sit here," Mike suddenly spoke up and skipped over to Tyler, placing his bottom beside him. "Go sit on the floor, you poo-poo weenie."
Did he just call me a poo-poo weenie? What the …?
"Gee, don't mind Mikey-Boy. He's like that," Eric laughed it off. "You can sit next to me, if you want, Isaac."
I shrugged as I walked over next to Eric. Mike raised his head a little, prideful of his little victory. I shrugged as I took my wallet out of my bag
"Poo-poo weenie, come on, let's go buy our lunches. Together," Mike grinned at me. There was an odd light shining in his eyes. It made me suspicious. I raised an eyebrow as I slowly stood up and followed him to the school cafeteria.
"So, weenie Isaac, what would you like to eat?" Mike poked my shoulder with much force.
What is with him and calling me 'weenie'? As far as I recalled, I hadn't done a single bad thing to him.
"Stop calling me weenie. Um, a burger, I guess?" I shrugged, looking at him. "What are you getting?
"I'm having a salad. Then I must go to the bathroom to apply a fresh coat of blue eye shadow and a slick of lip gloss," He blinked at me, his heavily mascaraed eyelashes brushed his pink cheeks.
I looked at him with highly raised eyebrows. He used more make up than I did back when I was a girl; I noticed when I looked closer at his face.
Once we had entered the shelter of the cafeteria, Mike looked around, standing on his toes. There was nobody there apart from us and a drowsy looking lunch lady. He looked back at me and suddenly pressed his foot down onto my sneaker – hard.
"Mike, what on earth are you doing?" I groaned in pain, only to have him pull at my hair. I tried to writhe out of his grip, in vain.
"Listen to me, poo-poo weenie. You stay away from my Eddie-Poo. He's mine, you hear me? He wants me, oh, yes," He nodded, pointing at his chest proudly and nodded. "He just doesn't know it yet."
I was beyond confused at his words. His 'Eddie-Poo'?
"So, what I want you to do is stay well away from my boy. He belongs to me. Ever since eighth grade," Mike continued. "I don't want a useless poo-poo weenie hogging my Eddie-Poo."
All I could do was stare profoundly at him, my mouth hanging wide open.
Mike was gay. What is with this school? Everybody was either gay or a playboy.
"Um, okay, Mike, what makes you think I want your, um, Eddie-Poo?" I shuddered slightly at the grotesque nickname Mike had created for Edward. Edward just didn't seem like the Eddie-Poo type to me.
"Call me Mikey-Boy or nothing. You always hang on him like a hair clip," He pointed to his pale blue hair clip. "You're dragging him back. I want him back. He's mine, not yours," Mike pointed at his chest to emphasize his point. "Why do you even deserve to share his room? Huh? You don't, that's why. Keep away or watch it. Anyways, he probably doesn't like you, much, anyways."
He gave me a shove with one perfectly manicured finger, causing me to drop all my coins onto the ground.
"Oi, Mike, you made me drop my money," I shouted at him in shock, bending down to pick up my scattered coins.
"Too bad, poo-poo weenie," He fluttered his eyelashes at me three times flirtiously and walked out of the cafeteria.
There were definitely bitches in boys' schools as well, I decided as I gathered all my coins in my pocket and walked over to buy my lunch.
"Isaac, a parcel for you!" Ben and Tyler barged into my dorm room, waving a light yellow package in the air.
"Hey, Isaac, open it! I want to see!" Tyler bumped into Ben in his excitement.
Edward looked up from his piano, obviously annoyed at our intruders.
"A parcel?" I looked up from my homework to look at Ben and Tyler. "For me?"
"Yeah! I was just going to the Green Box, you know, the one where presents from outside gets put in, to check if my mom got me something. And I saw yours, so I thought I'd helped you take it. Now open up so I can see!" Ben informed me.
"Thanks, Ben," I reached out for my parcel.
I peered curiously at the writing on the package.
For Our Sweetie!
Alice, Rosalie, Angela, Tanya and Irina
Oh, no! It's something from the girls! What am I going to do? I hope it isn't anything embarrassing!
"Oi, Isaac, here's the card!" Tyler screamed, waving the card in my face. "Open it! Who are Alice, Rosalie, Tanya and Irene, by the way?"
"Um, just my friends, from my Phoenix school," I stuttered as I reached over to take my card from Tyler's grip. I slowly slid my index finger under the envelope and opened it, taking out a small card.
Hey, sweetie! How's it going in Forks? We miss you already! It's boring here without you, and nobody to play the piano for us when we're down!
Here's a prezzie for you! Hope you like it!
Love,
Alice, Rosalie, Angela, Tanya and Irina.
I quickly held my card to my chest. I hoped that the boys won't ask too much about the card.
"Isaac, open it up already. We want to see," Ben tugged at my sleeve. They seemed more interested in the actual present.
"Okay, okay, I'm opening it," I said my last prayer as I slowly peeled at the wrapping paper.
There was a box inside and as soon as all the wrapping paper was off, Tyler and Ben lunged at the box.
They ripped off the lid and a queer look clouded their faces. Slowly, they pulled out a red bra and thong from Victoria's Secret.
I gasped in horror. Alice, Rosalie, Angela, Tanya and Irina could not do this to me!
The boys, including Edward, glanced at me, their mouths wide open in shock.
"I can explain," I looked back at them, eyes wide. My worst fears were coming true. My secret was coming out.
"I KNOW YOUR SECRET!" Tyler screamed in my face, a drop of spit landed on my chin.
"Y-you do?" I was confused. Tyler figured it out already? That's it, I was dead. I was exposed. I was going to get kicked out of the school.
"YES, YOU'RE A CROSS DRESSER!" Tyler screamed again, waving the thong wildly in front my face. "Why didn't you tell us before, Isaac?"
I could swear that I heard Edward stifling a laugh in the background. I decided to ignore him.
"Hahaha, yes … Yes … I'm a cross dresser, it's, uh, fun, yes, it's fun being a cross dresser," I breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that my secret was not yet exposed. Being a cross dresser was better than being a girl right now, I guess.
"Man, how could you not have told us before?" Ben asked, struggling with the red bra, trying to fit it on his chest. "How do you work this thing?"
"Um, you put your arms through the lace, like that," I instructed him, a slow blush started to creep onto my cheeks.
"Oh, gee, I don't get it," Ben sighed in defeat, pulling off the bra.
"Oh, well, I guess that's all then," Tyler peeked into the box. "Well, come on, Ben, let's go now."
They chucked the underwear set back into the box and walked out of my dorm room together, arms around each other's shoulders.
"Bye, Isaac!" They waved at me.
"See you guys tomorrow," I managed a small smile back.
"So … You're a cross dresser?" A smooth, velvet voice whispered close to my ear.
So, what do you think? Yes, I know, it's a Hana Kimi scene, but it was funny! Except in Hana Kimi it was a dress and in my story it's an underwear set from Victoria's Secret, so yeah!
