Bella's P.O.V.
I am so sick of Mike Newton always flirting with me!
When will it end?
While Edward was on one of his "hiking trips" this
morning, Mike took advantage of his absence and tried to
ask me out again at lunch.
I had hoped Alice would be there to back me up, but no,
she and Angela were giggling with their hands over their
mouths, just watching us.
"Why didn't you help me?" I complained after I sat down.
"It was just funny seeing the look on your face!" Alice
laughed. I glared at her, but I couldn't stay mad at her for
long, and she knew it.
"Sorry, Bella." Angela apologized. I smiled. "Don't worry
about it." I told her. "Where's Ben?"
"He got sick yesterday after school," Angela said.
"Stomach flu. I just hope it doesn't spread again." "Yeah,
that would be the last thing we need." I agreed.
Alice leaned forward. "So what are we going to do about
Newton?" She asked in a low voice.
"What do you mean?" I asked surprised. Angela raised her
eyebrows."We are going to prank him of course!" Alice
said in a surprised tone that implied I should have realized
this sooner.
"We need to prank him with something that will make him
realize that Bella is taken." Angela put in.
This surprised me. Angela was actually plotting to prank
someone with Alice!
We sat in silence for a few minutes, thinking of ideas.
Suddenly, Alice burst out; "Fake tattoos!" Two pairs of
eyes questioned her sanity.
"We should make fake tattoos," She said impatiently.
"Bella will wear one, and Edward will wear one! It's
perfect! I can see it now…"
What was funny was that she really could see it happening,
so I couldn't back out of it. "That's a good idea!" Angela
grinned. She and Alice looked at me.
"All right. I'll do it."
"You want me to wear what?" Edward asked. "It's a fake
tattoo!" Alice exclaimed to him while we were at their
house.
"I honestly don't see the point in wearing one. I won't do
it." Edward said firmly. He turned to go back to his piano.
"It's a prank on Mike Newton!" I called to him. He was
back at my side in a flash, his golden eyes lighting up. "I'm
in." He grinned mischievously.
"I made them already, too!" Alice held out her tiny hands,
where two fake tattoos sat there, still in their plastic
wrappers.
"This is going to be good…"
