Alice
'Oh shut up you stupid blonde tanorexic' I thought and I saw Edward smile slightly. Lauren Mallory was trying to convince Mike to go to a movie with her and Jessica, and she was offering Bella up as bait. 'Being a vampire was sometimes a drag, but now I can save my best friend from a horrible non-date with those humans.' Edward looked up at me knowing what I was about to do, but I ignored him. I did not need his permission to do something he wanted to do himself.
"Yeah Mike, umm, we are going to a movie and we'd love you to come!" she was saying, motioning to Jessica, Bella, and Angela. Angela quickly amended that she couldn't go and Bella looked slightly startled and confused.
"What?" Bella said. I sighed. I didn't want Lauren to take her, but honestly, Bells was the least subtly person on the planet!
"Oh, yeah Bella. We are going to a movie. You're coming right? You too Mike?" She quickly made sure her bait was reeling in Mike.
"Well, I don't know." I was almost there. Why'd Bella want to sit with her other friends today. And why do I have to walk so SLOW?
"You don't have anything else to do, right?" said Lauren. Hah, I could solve that. Sidling up to Bella I whispered so soft no one else could hope to hear, "Play along!"
"Actually Lauren, Bella's having a sleep over with me tonight! All the boys are leaving and we're going out for some late night shopping!" Bella laughed, and I was slightly insulted. My story was entirely plausible, because it had happened before.
"Yeah, sorry Lauren, Jess. Mike you should go anyway." Bella said. Well, at least she can act when she knows what's going on. She mouthed thanks to me and I left for our table. My work here was done.
Edward
I was thankful that Alice took matters into her own hands. I didn't want Bella going out and being hit upon by any of the boys that would, inevitably, hit on her, but I also didn't want to deprive her of her friends. I was secretly glad Alice had her coming over tonight. Wait, tonight? Oh no. I shook my head frantically at Alice, but she was ignoring me, again.
She danced back to our table and thought, 'What?' I was turned away from her, so I shifted slightly and whispered quieter than a cat could hear, "Alice, everyone's going hunting tonight. I can't stay behind with her, I haven't hunted in weeks. Jasper has to go, and you go with him. Rose is, well I don't actually know where she is, but she's somewhere with Carlilse and Esme."
She thought back, 'Sorry. But it's better than her going to that movie.'
"I'd rather have her at a movie than sitting home alone all night."
'One of us can stay with her. Not Jazz, or I, or you so that leaves...'
'Cheaahhh, I can take the human for a night Eddie." my immensely huge brother said from across the table. I was not leaving Bella in the care of a three year old! So I told him so.
He thought back, 'Edward, I can hang with Bella for a night. I won't break her, I promise. Actually, don't you think some good, brother-sister quality time would be good?'
I scowled, knowing logic was on his side, for once. "Fine, but you hurt her, I hurt you. Got it?"
'Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what am I allowed to do? Can we go to the mall? How about food, I WANNA COOK COOKIES!'
I sighed and dropped my head at the immature antics of my 70 plus year old brother. "Bella has common sense. Whatever she says you can't do, you can't. Alright?"
Emmett smiled and nodded. The bell rang and we all got up and dumped our full trays. I walked over to Bella to explain the evening that she would have to endure tonight. Undoubtedly, she would like the idea very much.
Bella
'Phew..I'm so glad I don't have to go to that movie. The last time I went to a movie with Mike it was a disaster. And I get to hang out with vampires tonight! Wow, I am so messed up.'
My revelation must have been apparent on my face because Edward chuckled and said, "What's so interesting that you don't say hi to me?"
I lokked up at the perfection that's his face and said, "Hi, I was just thinking how weird I am."
"Well, that's true, but why did you have this revelation now?" He teased.
"I'd rather spend my evening with a coven of vampires than my human friends and a boy who likes me."
"Ugh, Newton." I slapped him, and hurt my hand in the process. "Think of it this way, you'd rather spend time with your boyfriend's brother than a creeper."
I smiled, but then caught the boyfriends brother. "What? You aren't staying?"
"We all have to go hunting, except Emmett. He thinks some good brother-sister quality time will be good. If you don't want to-"
I cut him off, "I'd love to hang out with Emmett."
Edward smiled and handed me my bag, that I hadn't noticed he was carrying. "Great. Just, rein him in if he gets too exuberant, alright?"
"Okay." I laughed and we walked into the loud Biology classroom. My laugh turned into a sheepish grimace that matched his as we realized why everyone was cheering. Movie Day.
Emmett
Yes! I get to hang out with Bella without Eddie annoying me. Wait, he can hear me. Ummm...How can I decide what's right, when you're clouding up my mind...
