Hey my fantastic readers! Sorry about taking so long to update. Just started sports practice and man does it makes all your muscles hurt. So anyway I hope you enjoy the story and review as much as you can. It always brightens my day when you review! :)

Bella's Point of View

Oh no. No No No No No. I refuse to be left here alone with him! Every time we're together it always ends up in a fight. Every. Single. Time. Please don't leave me guys.

Emmett, oblivious to everything around him (including the look of panic and terror on my face) said, "Sure you can, bro. And please, whatever you do, don't start a screaming match again cause she could probably kick your ass."

Everyone laughed, except for Edward and me. I was still horrified and Edward looked like he wanted to smack his brother.

But I wasn't going to be left alone with him. Not without a fight.

"Guys," I said trying to sound nonchalant, "Can I speak with you over here?" I gestured to my locker just a few feet away.

"Sure Bella!" Emmett exclaimed. He followed me to my locker without a care in the world, while Jasper, Rosalie, and Alice look concerned.

"Bella are you ok?" Rosalie asked.

"No I'm not Rosalie. Emmett why did you tell Edward that I would talk to him?" I asked.

"I thought that was what you wanted. I guess I just wasn't thinking," Emmett said.

"Oh you not thinking. That's a big surprise," Rosalie said.

"Emmett, if you don't go give Edward an excuse so that I don't have to talk to him I'll..." I trailed off, not knowing how to finish the threat. Emmett was so much bigger than I was and there was no way I could hurt him.

"Or you'll what?" Emmett said smugly.

"I'll give you a cookie," I said.

"What kind of cookie?" Emmett replied.

"Emmett!" Alice screamed. "What the hell? Bella needs to talk to Edward. He probably just wants to apologize or ask her out."

I looked at her. "Alice, what are you smoking?" I asked her, completely serious.

"I just have that feeling that he will," Alice said, "When I normally have this feeling, stuff that I say will happen normally comes true. Oh and just for your information I'm smoking pot."

"Alice! Don't you know what drugs can do to you?" Emmett said.

"Emmett I was joking. Are you sure that you weren't hit by the ceiling fan?" Alice asked.

"Well that's a funny story now that you mentioned it. When I was a little boy-," Emmett started but Jasper cut him off. "Alright Emmett you can tell us over there. Far far away from Bella and Edward when their talking."

"Jasper what have I ever done to you?" I asked, desperate now for a way out.

"Bella, you've been trying to get through to him that he needs to change his ways. This may be your only chance. Why are you being afraid to take it?" Jasper said.

"Damn it you're right," I said.

"I normally am. Now don't mind us as we slowly walk away," Jasper said.

"And don't think we won't be listening!" Emmett screamed as they left me standing alone, near my locker, with Edward just a few feet away.

Jasper was right. I shouldn't be scared of facing Edward. I had faced him before. I had yelled at him and told him off. Hell I had even rejected him in front of the entire school. And yet I was scared to talk to him for 2 minuets before the bell rang. Wow. How pathetic was I?

I took a giant breath to steady myself and I walked over to where Edward to talk to him.

I am a rock I chanted in my head. I am a rock. Nothing he can say will make me lose my cool. Nothing will upset me. I am a rock.

Edward looked nervous as I approached him. His tousled bronze hair was more messy than usual and he smiled a half smile when I stopped right in front of him.

"Hey, Edward. You wanted to talk to me?" I asked.

I am a rock. I am a rock. I am a rock.

"Yeah," he said. "Look I just wanted to apologize for yesterday for the way I acted. You were right I was totally out of line. And after that what's-wrong-with-you-speech you really got me thinking that my behavior has always been like that. And it needs to change."

I looked at him stunned. I didn't know what to say. I hadn't expected this reaction at all.

"Oh. Wow. Uhm..." I stumbled.

He laughed an amazing laugh, the nervous look gone. Why am I thinking this? I do not like Edward.

"Well I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have yelled at you yesterday or insulted you. I shouldn't have said anything," I said.

"No really it was my fault. You were just trying to make peace and I shouldn't have been mean or called you a bitch," He paused for a second. "I have something else I want to ask you also," he said. The nervous look was back again.

"What is it?" I asked.

"I was just wondering if you would like to go out with me sometime," he said

Oh my God. Did he just ask me out?

A little way from us I could hear Emmett scream, "Did he just ask her out?!"

And of course everyone started staring at us. I didn't need anymore attention right now. Everyone was already talking about our screaming match. I was so going to kill Emmett. And from now on I was going to listen to everything Alice said and never bet against her.

Before I knew what I was doing I nodded my head.

"Really? Great! I'll pick you up tomorrow at 7. See you in biology," he said.

I nodded my head again.

The bell rang and Edward said he had to leave for class. He walked away but not before looking back a couple of times before he was out of sight.

I went to class and after I sat down the realization of what I had done sunk in. I had just said yes to a date with Edward Cullen. The person I disliked. The person that I swore I would never go out with. And for the first time I was speechless around him. What had changed?

Maybe it was because he said he realized that he needed to change. That he needed to show that he wasn't someone who was always mean and rude to people. He was going to change, hopefully. Maybe this was the first step.

The rest of the morning flew by very quickly and I was still thinking of ways to kill Emmett. Though him putting me on the spot had worked out, I still didn't like it and he was going to pay.

I got my food and headed over to my lunch table and stopped dead in my tracks. Edward was sitting with Emmett, Jasper, Rosalie, and Alice.

Breathe Bella I thought. It's ok. He's a friend now and he's not trying to embarrass you or make you lose your cool.

"Hey guys," I said as I walked over to the table and sat down.

I was met by a chorus of heys and come sit downs. I sat down between Emmett and Edward. While everyone else at the table was talking, both Edward and I weren't. I was flustered and nervous around him, but I couldn't let him know this. His ego would be even larger than normal.

"Edward," I said nervously.

"Yes, Bella," Edward replied, his green eyes staring into mine.

"What brought all this on? I mean it went from both you and I yelling at each other to you asking me out. What made you do this?" I asked.

"You made me really look at myself Bella. If I could get you, the most patient person at Forks High, to hate me then something must be wrong. Does that answer all your questions?"

"I didn't hate you," I said.

"Sure you didn't," he teased.

"Whatever, Edward," I replied, rolling my eyes. He just laughed at me. We talked a little about biology and what we could have missed yesterday when I remembered my plan to kill Emmett. And now that Edward and I were ok, I could use him as a recruit and as a way to find Emmett's soft spot.

"Edward, what is Emmett's weakness?" I whispered to him.

"He's super ticklish. Touch him anywhere and he'll start giggling like a girl. Why do you want to know?" he asked.

"I'm going to take him down. I was thinking I could hit him with my truck, but he might break it with his abnormally large size."

"I'm in," Alice whispered.

"How did you hear us? Do you have vampire hearing?" Edward asked.

"No. You guys just whisper loudly."

I nodded toward Alice, signaling that she could be in on it.

"Well are you with me Edward?" I wanted some more recruits. Alice, I had discovered, was a mastermind of evil plans from when her, Emmett, and Edward had gone camping with their family and Rose and Jasper. She had managed make them go skinny dipping and took all their clothes (the only clothes they had) and hid them in the woods.

"Yeah I'm in," he replied.

"Excellent," I said. This was going to be good. Emmett wasn't even paying attention. He was too busy being dazzled by Rosalie's beauty. Thank god for Rosalie.

I signaled to Edward to move right beside Edward. It was his turn to roll his eyes at me and I glared at me.

"Ruin this and I kill you," I mouthed to him as Alice giggled. She had taken her spot behind Emmett.

"Ready?" I mouthed to them and they both nodded.

"One. Two. Three!" I screamed.

All three of us started to tickle Emmett. At first Emmett didn't know what was happening. But once he did he started screaming and laughing and trying to get us to stop tickling him, though it didn't work. Everyone in the cafeteria started laughing at the giant man being tickled, including us. We were laughing so hard that tears were streaming down our faces and our stomachs hurt.

"Why the hell did you do that?" Emmett asked, still giggling.

"That was payback for putting me on the spot. Don't you ever do it again or you'll get something worse," I replied.

"I hate you, Bella. And for you two," he pointed towards Alice and Edward, "You will so get it at home."

"I love you too, Emmett!" I said. I turned toward Rosalie and Jasper. "You have to admit that it was awesome," I said to them.

"I hate to say it Emmett but it was," Rosalie said as she kissed him on the cheek.

"The look on your face dude was priceless," Jasper said. "Good job, Bella."

"Thanks. I couldn't have done it without the help of Edward and Alice though."

They both bowed and the bell rang.

"You know that this means war Bella. You ready to get crushed?" Emmett whispered in my ear.

"Bring it on, Emmett," I replied.

"Let's go Bella," Edward said, grabbing my hand and pulling me away from everyone. He kept holding my hand after we had gotten out of the cafeteria and through the halls.

I blushed as everyone stared, though I was pleased.

Wait. Pleased?

It was with Edward holding my hand that I realized that I was falling for Edward. Hard.
