Chapter 16:

Rosalie's anger goes over the top

NPOV

I could see Edward talking with Carlisle. They made me sick. I hated them so much. Well, time to put the show on the road. Dr. Cullen walked in, gave me a brief look, and went to Rosalie.

"I'll fix everything" he whispered as he walked up to the front desk. Of course he will.

"Hello, Mr. Leadersnip asked me to come in" he said.

"Ah, Dr. Cullen, such a pleasure to meet you, though I wish it was s for different reasons" Mr. Leadersnip said as he walked in.

"Me to, now, let's go and see if we can solve this problem" Carlisle said as they shook hands.

"Certainly, girls" he said as he motioned us to follow. I went into his office. It was very warm and inviting. It had a conference table at the end which is where he led us.

"Sir, she is not mine by the way" Carlisle said as he pointed to me. I have a name you know.

"Yes, I know but her sister isn't feeling well and I really didn't have a need to call her. Dr. Cullen," he began.

"Please, call me Carlisle" he hinted.

"Okay, Carlisle, there was a massive food fight in the cafeteria. I wasn't sure who started it but I saw Rosalie standing on top of a table with lasagna aiming for Mrs. Swan over here" he started

Carlisle looked at Rosalie and raised his eyebrows while she looked down.

"She looked almost like the leader of the fight" but Rosalie interrupted.

"I was not! Someone threw something at my hair and then at my face and they kept hitting me and I was mad so I got up on the table to try to see who it was who kept pelting me. The lasagna was from someone throwing it at me" she defended herself.

"You know that's a lie Rosalie! The way you looked at me was pure hatred. You were thinking of throwing it at me because your arm was going back ready to throw. You would have if it wasn't for Mr. Leadersnip over here." I argued.

"Girls, enough" Mr. Leadersnip said as Carlisle pushed Rose and me apart. I hadn't noticed we had gotten into each other's faces.

"Enough" Carlisle said to the both of us to low for Mr. Leadersnip to hear.

"Thank you girls for your argument. Now as Rosalie walked, a paper fell out of her pocket and it contained the plan for the food fight" he said as he spread it on the table.

I tried to keep calm. As I saw the handwriting, I remember I wrote it in regular handwriting in case someone found it. I let out an internal sigh.

"What! I have never seen that paper in my life! That isn't even my handwriting! Please Mr. Leadersnip, you have to believe me" she begged but I could see the anger and humor deep in her eyes. I had to give it to them, they were good actors.

"Mr. Leadersnip, my daughter Rosalie isn't like this. She would never to something like this. She is calm, gentle and kind"

Right. That was one of the biggest lies in the history of the world. I bit my lip so hard I was bleeding so I wouldn't comment on what Carlisle said but I let out a short breath.

"Mrs. Swan, do you object" he said as they turned to me.

Carlisle's eyes were pleading beyond belief. Rosalie was glaring again. I don't know why but I probably made one of the stupidest decisions in my life.

"Well, I wouldn't say Rosalie is calm or gentle but she is not too much. Just like a regular person. I happened to see that same piece of paper lying on one of the tables near the lunch line. Also, the first piece of food, which I think was macaroni and cheese, that hit Rosalie came from that section. Rosalie didn't do it" I surrendered. I couldn't believe I was defending her.

"Wow Nessie. She totally owes you know" Alex whispered in my ear making me jump. I forgot he was there. Carlisle and Rosalie looked like they heard him.

"Is something wrong Mrs. Swan" he asked.

"No, I think I sat on something sharp" I lied smoothly.

"Mrs. Swan, do you and Mrs. Hale get along"

"Nope, I totally hate her but it isn't fair for her to be blamed for something she didn't do" I concluded.

"Well Mrs. Hale, looks like you're mostly off the hook. I will still issue a detention for your actions but that is all" he said as he stood and shook hands with Carlisle.

He shook my hand and nodded to Rosalie as he handed her the detention. She grabbed it with a Humph. I walked out quickly hopping they would let it go but nooo.

"Nessie" Carlisle said as he grabbed me shoulder. I shook it off.

"Thank you, you could have blamed Rosalie but you didn't. We owe you. Both of us" he said as he patted Rosalie's shoulder.

"Yeah, thank you" she muttered. "Though you probably started it in the first place" she murmured super low.

"Rosalie! I can't believe after what I just did for you, you blame me. You are impossible. Carlisle was describing the total opposite of you when he said you were kind, gentle and calm. You're one of the most terrible persons in the world. If you want to do me a favor, then leave me the freaking ALONE!!!" I said as I made a dramatic exit.

"Rosalie, you shouldn't have accused her, this doesn't help. Now behave" I heard Carlisle say.

"Nessie, whoa Nessie, you okay" Alex said as he appeared in front of me and pulled me into a hug.

"Yeah, I was just so mad but I'm fine. She was right. I also thought Carlisle should know how other people feel about his daughter" I said as I walked.

"Yeah, hey, nice job. All 5 are in the bag" he said as he gave me a 5 five.

"Totally, now let's go, we're already late, he didn't give me a pass but I'll tell them. You just appear suddenly" I said. He nodded, ruffled my hair, and ran off. I ran close behind him. When I opened the door, I felt him walk in as well.

"Ah, Mrs. Swan, so nice for you to join us. Why are you late?" he wondered.

"I was helping Mr. Leadersnip catch the culprit of the food fight" I said.

"Ah, very well. Is your brother Alex with you to?"

"Um, he should be here. Ah! Look. He's right there next to Will" I said as I pointed to Alex.

Everyone turned and shock colored their face as they saw Alex, with all his supplies out, look up innocently.

"Is something wrong Mr. Buildenstein" he asked

"N-n-n-n-o-o-o-o. Nessie, go take a seat with your brothers" he ordered.

I nodded and sat next to Will.

"What happened" he asked.

I did a quick replay of the office scene.

"Nice, I'm coming early to see the faces of the Cullen's in detention" he said. "Look, Melinda took a couple of pictures of them, they're pretty hilarious" he said as he showed me them on his camera. I nearly burst out into laughter. These were hilarious. They were definitely going on the school website.

"Okay, for the last few minutes of class, I want everyone to sketch a draft for their miniature building. It must withstand an earthquake at least 2. It must also have explosives attached if it withstands the hardest earthquake. You may add people if you like. Now get to work" he ordered as he handed out blueprint paper.

We decided on a 10 story office building. Alex helped design the support and Will did the shape. I designed the inside. As a joke, I designed for the Cullen's to be inside when we exploded it.

"Nice" Will snickered when he saw them.

"Nessie, may I ask why you put the Cullen's in that building" Mr. Buildenstein asked, his tone disapproving.

"Well, they are so beautiful and their features are so perfect and sharp, I thought they would make great models" I said as I looked down, pretending to be embarrassed. He fell for it.

"Very well, put all your stuff in cabinet 5d" he said as he walked on.

We packed up all our stuff and designs and put them in a big rubber band. We went over to out cabinet and slipped it in. I happened to look up at cabinet 4d and gasped.

"What's wrong Nessie" Alex said.

"Looks like none other than our best friends have this class before us" I said as I saw the names Edward, Alice and Rosalie printed in elegant script over a blueprint.

I opened the cabinet quickly and pulled it out. I folded it a bunch of times and slid it in my pocket. I looked at Will and Alex and crossed my fingers. They nodded.

"Promise" they whispered as they crossed theirs and we walked back to our seat. Our secret language. The bell ran as we got up and left.

"Oh yeah, gym! Now we can innocently pummel them down to a pulp" Will said as they walked into the locker room. I walked into the one next to theirs and got dressed. On my way out, Rosalie pinned me to the wall.

"Why are you being so rude and mean to my family and I" she said as she pushed harder. I held back my wince as pain shot through my shoulders. Did she not remember I was still part human?

"I helped you" I said through my teeth.

"Uhuh. You don't fool me, you got me in trouble in the first place. Now answer my first question" she said harshly.

"You know why" I said which made her tighten her hold.

I heard a couple of things crack but she looked as if she didn't hear anything. Was she crazy? Gone psychotic? I bit my lip to keep from screaming at the pain. Since I couldn't call for help without screaming, I did the only thing I could think of. I kicked her really hard in the gut. She flew back a bit but it was just enough for me to run out and meet my family. I was rubbing my shoulder softly. My cool skin hardly helped.

"Nessie, what happened?" Melinda asked when she saw me rubbing. I stopped immediately.

"Nothing" I replied.
