All's Fair in Love and Pranks
Chapter 3-Bets on Bella
Sorry that I took so long to update but it is kind of hard to stay motivated when you only average two reviews a chapter. Thanks to those who have reviewed and I know that there are more than 4 people reading this story. Anyway… enjoy!(Please read AN at the bottom. Important!)
"Who the hell does he think he is?!"
"Which one?" Alice was smiling evilly.
"Mike of course! His is the most immature, obnoxious… Wait a second. What do you mean 'which one'?" confusing little pixie.
"I mean Mike or Edward?" Edward as in Edward Cullen? Her brother?
"As in your brother?"
"I forgot you don't know him. Do you know what this means?!"
"Something tells me I don't want to."
"PARTY/SLEEPOVER!!!"
"What do you mean Alice?"
"Imeanthatallofusgettogetherforasmallpartywiththeboysthenweallhaveasleepoverinoneofthedormroomssowecanplaypranksortruthordareor,or,or…."She paused for breath. Rose was laughing with everyone but then, being the traitor she is gave Alice what she wanted.
"That sounds like an awsome idea Alice!" Before I could protest Alice cut me off.
"Don't argue because you will lose."
"Damn pixie. I swear you can see the future."
"You got that right Bells." I gave up protesting and turned to Emmet.
"Does this happen often?"
"Almost every week. You get used to it after a while."
"Who would usually be going?"
"None of us have any choice so it would be you, Alice, Rose, Me, Edward, and Jasper our new roommate."
"You sound so thrilled about this whole thing."
"Usually it is awesome but now that you are here the boys will definitely lose the prank war." He pouted and I had to laugh 'cause honestly, it was a pretty frightening picture. The bell rang signaling the end of lunch so Rose and Emmet had to go to class. Alice dragged me outside since this was our free period.
"Alice, where are we going?"
"We are going to beat some sense into Mike."
"Not that I mind beating sense into Mike but where are we going?"
"We are going to the basketball gym."
"Fine." We walked into the gym and I was taken aback. The court was huge! Basketball is the only sport I'm good at and this is definitely my dream gym. Then we spotted mike and the person who I think is Edward.
"Hey swan! Come to accept my offer?" This is why I hate Mike.
"In your dreams Newton and actually I need to talk to you about that." Then I heard strangely musical laughter.
EPOV
I was playing basketball with mike when he was caught off guard by something. Then he smiled and said "I'm winning the bet." I didn't have time to respond. "Hey swan! Come to accept my offer?" No way would I let him win this bet.
(Flashback)
I was walking to the lunchroom when Mike stopped me.
"Hey Mike." He was never one of my favorite people but since he is the second best player on my basketball team I had to be nice to him. I'm the captain.
"Hey Edward. Listen, I got a bet for ya." He knows I never back down from a bet.
"What type of bet?"
"Ok. There's this new girl in my math class who is incredibly hot but whenever anyone asks her out she says no. I bet a hundred bucks that she'll say yes to me before she says yes to you." Is that all he thinks about? Girls? I think it's time to take his ego down a notch.
"How about this instead: Whoever gets her to be their girlfriend first wins the hundred bucks.
"Deal."
(End of flashback)
Bella looked disgusted at the idea. "In your dreams Newton and actually I need to talk to you about that." I just started laughing at Mike's crestfallen face. Bella's head turned sharply in my direction and then she glared at me. That shut me up and she smirked. She was beyond beautiful. She turned back to Mike.
"You've been bugging me a lot lately Newton and I want it to stop."
"Well, that's not going to happen Bells." He smirked
"It's Bella to you Newton and how about a compromise?" Her voice was controlled so she must be pissed.
"What type of compromise?"
"Hmm. How about if I beat you at something you leave me alone for a week and if I lose I'll go out with you."
"Fine. But I get to pick what we are competing at."
"Deal. What did you have in mind?"
"How about a game of one on one basketball?" He was smirking openly now but so was she.
"Fine. Let's play."
Alice just looked at her like she was crazy. "How are you going to win this Bella?! You can't even walk across a flat surface and Mikes the second best player on the team!!!" She has a point. Mike is really good a b ball.
"Just watch me." Was her only response. Once everyone but Mike and Bella was off court the game started.
BPOV
Mike was going down. The game had started and I have had the ball for almost the whole thing. We had ten seconds on the clock and I was just about to take my last shot when Mike stole the ball but he was not fast enough and I stole the ball back taking a shot from half-court and it made it in just in time. The final score was me 30 Mike 6.
"BELLA YOU WON!!!!" Alice was squealing in delight and then I couldn't breathe.
"Emmet…can't….breathe!!!" Emmet was hugging me.
"Sorry sis' but that was awsomelicious!!!"
"Why are you here?"
"Skipped class."
"Oh."
Mike was sulking but before I could say anything Alice was dragging me back into the school.
After school in Alice's room-
"Alice your brother is so annoying!!! He is in every one of my afternoon classes and he keeps winking at me!!! Can't he take a hint?!"
"Don't worry Bells! I'll tell him off at the party tonight if it makes you feel better."
"Thanks Ali."
"I have a better idea! If you let me play Bella Barbie I'll tell him off."
"No."
"Please?"
"Fine." Stupid pixie and her pout.
"ROSE!!! IT'S BELLA BARBIE TIME!!!" oh god what have I gotten myself into
3 hours later-
I looked at myself in the mirror. They actually made me look kind of pretty. I was in a tiered black cocktail dress that hit at my knees. A thick black ribbon wrapped around me right under the bust line and the top was covered in lace and went into a deep v. (link on profile) Alice paired my dress with a pair of black stiletto sandals with rhinestones going across the toes. (Link on profile)
"Wow bells. You look hot!"
I felt the heat rise in my cheeks. "Thanks Rose. I think…"
"She's right Bell. You do look hot!"
"Thanks Ali."
"Well we better get going. The boys are here." We all smiled evilly and then linked arms and walked into the living room to find the boys already playing truth or dare. It was Emmet's turn to ask someone.
"Eddie boy. Truth or..." He didn't get to finish before Alice cut in.
"We want to play too!"
All of the boy's heads turned in our direction at the same time. Emmet was of course, staring at rose and it was making her blush. She looked amazing in her red bubble dress and gold metallic heels. To the right was a blond haired, blue eyed boy who I assumed was Jasper. His eyes were wide and looking at the little pixie to my left. Alice for once was quiet. She was wearing the same thing as Rose but her dress was purple and her shoes were black. Then I turned to Edward. He was staring at me with wide eyes. I looked away and blushed. Wait, what? Why was I blushing? Rose broke the silence.
"Hey Edward! Keep your Eyes inside your head." I looked up to see him blushing.
Emmet of course had to make a big deal out of this. "Awwwww. Eddie boy is blushing!" Edward just turned a whole new shade of red. This time no one could control there giggling. Alice let go of my arm and went to confront Edward.
"Can I talk to you for a moment Edward? Alone."
EPOV
Why did Bella have to be so damn beautiful?! Then Alice walked up to me.
"Can I talk to you for a moment Edward? Alone." I just stood up and followed her into the kitchen.
"What's up Alice?"
"I'll tell you what's up. You're hitting on one of my new friends even though she's not interested! Why don't you just leave her alone?" I didn't know what to say. "Why don't you just try to be friends before you start flirting with her?" She did make sense. I was really starting to like her.
"I see your point Alice but..." Should I tell her about the bet?
"But…?"
"Fine. I'll tell you, but you cannot tell anyone. Especially Bella."
"Ok." I looked at the floor and told her about the bet. When I looked up she had a look of disgust on her face.
"Why Edward? I know you are better than this."
"I know and now that I look at it, it is really immature and stupid. Just promise me that you won't tell Bella."
"I don't know…"
"Please Alice."
"Okay but this will end badly."
"Thanks." Next thing I knew I heard a screech. Not just any screech. A screech from Bella.
"WHAT THE HELL EMMET?!?!?!"
BPOV
Edward stood up and followed Alice into the kitchen. What is she up to? Oh well.
"Now that Eddie boy is busy... Bellyboo! Truth or dare?" I had to laugh at my new nickname. It was so like Emmet to just continue with the game even without some of the players gone.
"Dare, and make it good."
"Okay Bellyboo. You asked for it! I dare you to stay inside your car for 24 hours with a guy of my choice."
"That's not bad."
"I wasn't done. If you leave the car for anything exept for potty breaks the guy gets your car." Everyone was silent for a minute then I exploded.
"WHAT THE HELL EMMET?!?!?!" Alice and Edward came in with concerned looks on their faces, but I couldn't care less. I was furious!!!
"What happened?" Alice looked concerned.
Emmet was about to answer but I cut him off. "I'll tell you what the hell happened! Emmet's what happened! And that stupid dare!!!" With that I stood up and stormed off to my room. I need to cool down. Once I got in my room I kicked off my stilettos and landed face first on my bed. Emmet was going to pay.
EmPOV
Maybe I shouldn't have done that… What am I talking about?! That was an awesome dare!!! Wait. She's probably planning her revenge right now. OH CRAP!!!
BPOV
Paint the jeep pink… Maybe. Put exlax in brownies and feed it to him…eh. Have everyone disappear so he thinks he's the last one on earth AND paint the jeep pink….Now that has potential! I was in the middle of planning my revenge when I felt the side of my bed sink down. I looked up to see the most annoying Greek god ever, Edward.
"Emmet told me about the dare, but why does it affect you so much?" he sounded truly curious.
"It affects me this much because it is my dream car and I paid for it all by myself."
He still looked confused. "What type of car?"
"It's silver Aston Martin V12 Vanquish." (Car on profile) He started laughing and I sat up and glared at him.
He put his hands up as if he was trying to make peace. "I can see why you are upset. If Emmet did that dare with me and my camaro I would be pissed!" (Car on profile)
"Yeah. Your brother is an ass."
"Yeah I know." Then we both started laughing. "Listen. I talked to Alice."
"Did she tell you off?"" I was smirking now.
"Yeah and I wanted to say that I am so sorry for the way I have been acting."
"Well let me tell you something. I…. What?" was he actually apologizing?
He was the one smirking now. "Yeah. I know that I have been a jerk but I was wondering if we could maybe be friends. I promise to behave."
"That sounds nice." He seems really sweet when he lets his tough guy guard down. "But it will have to wait."
"Why?"
I had an evil grin plastered in my face. "Two words. Prank. Wars."
"Oh dear god I am scared." With an evil laugh I walked out of the room to find Alice and Rose. I found them in Alice's Room.
Alice had a determined expression on her face. "Thank god you are here Bella! Now we can get started! Oh, and Emmet told me to tell you that he will pick out the guy for your dare tomorrow at lunch."
"Oh, the joy!"
"Yeah ok. Well this is how it works. During prank wars it's boys against girls. Each team tries to make the other surrender by pulling pranks on them. The war starts at 7:00 and ends at 12:00 or when one of the teams surrenders. Before we start... we need to change.
After about ten minutes we were ready for war. (Outfits on profile) Rose was dressed in a plain gray sleeveless tank and gray camo pants. Her hair was in pigtails to keep it out of her face. Alice was in a pair of hot pink camo pants with a black t shirt. I was in a pair of green camo pants and a sleeveless green shirt that had a buckle around the bust line. It was camo on top and plain green on the bottom. Alice insisted that I wear a camo cap over my hair that was pulled up into a high pony. We all had matching silver sneakers.
Alice had that determined look on her face as she explained what was going to happen. "Okay girls, listen up! We have about twenty-five minutes before the war starts and we need a leader. I for one believe that Bella should be leader. Any objections, none good. Are you okay with that Bella?"
"Yeah I guess."
"Great. What should we do first Bells?"
I was in the zone. "I suggest that we get a tactical advantage by spying and finding out who their captain is and then listen in on their plans using some of my pranking equipment. One of us should go at a time so we can plan while we spy. If we can find out what they are planning we can use their pranks against them. Okay, so who is going to spy first?"
Alice was bouncing up and down on her bed from excitement. "I will! I will!"
"Okay Alice. You will concentrate on finding out who the leader is and their strategy." With that I pulled 3 handheld messaging systems out of my pocket. I came prepared. "You will communicate with us through this instead of running back and forth. We'll get more done. Ready Alice?"
"Ready." The war has begun.
Please Review! I would like 4 reviews before I update. Thanks for reading!
