Note: I got the idea of this chapter from my friend Erikka. She's the one person in school I goof off with the most. Luckily she's not in a lot of my classes, other whys neither of us would get any work done. She really got this chapter going, so if you like, thank her. =] Thanks to everyone else for all the support. I really appreciate it!
Enjoy!
Chapter 3: Wednesday Alice's POV
"It has been at least 12 hours and I still can't stop laughing about yesterday," I said to Edward. He was such a grumpy face. So what if we laughed at him, it wasn't a big of deal? Okay, I admit when Emmett couldn't get up off the floor from laughing so hard at Edward's expression that was a bit bad. And when Jasper and Rose burst out laughing whenever they saw him was a bit much. At least I didn't contribute to that behavior. Well I did laugh a lot when they laughed, but only because laughing is contagious. Edward glared at me.
"How about when Esme asked how our day was and you said it was fine but Jessica finally seemed to get over me," he started, "and when she asked why you said because she lost interest because I lacked size?"
I snorted trying not to burst out laughing. "Alright I forgot that part."
"What about when Carlisle asked why I was grumpy and you said that I got pictured naked and it wasn't accurate enough because girl's imaginations were too generous now a days?"
"Alright, alright! So I made a few jokes, is that a bad thing."
"Well maybe you should think correctly instead of deluding yourself with lies."
"Is it your time of the month, Edward? It would explain so much."
Edward growled at me and walked away to his first period. He's so over dramatic. Is it my fault we saw some humor in yesterday? His expression was hilarious, it's not our fault we found it extraordinary funny. I heard Emmett walk from behind me. I turned slightly to smile at him.
"Why aren't you walking with Edward?" I asked.
He groaned. "That menopausal woman? He's such a downer. I couldn't even tell him how much my night was last night without him finding everything negative about it. I felt like I wanted to swallow pills, if it could effect me."
I giggled. "He's just upset because we laughed a little too much yesterday. Oh and your night was disgusting. When you and Rose have your moments, please take it somewhere else next time." I shuddered; it was going to take weeks before I could look at Rose again without horrifying pictures bursting into my thoughts like cannon balls.
Emmett chuckled and tried to shove me before I danced out of the way. "Yeah sorry about that. It was unexpected. She looked so hot when she tried-"
"I honestly don't want to know." I interrupted. Thankfully my class door was two feet away so I escaped him without being too rude.
I spent the rest of the morning drawing up fashion ideas for next month's wardrobe. I pushed that off for too long. Occasionally I peeked on Jasper, but I tried not to. He was doing well, so I shouldn't feel the need to keep watch him like an annoying mother, that's what Edward was for.
Lunch came around the corner and to my disappointment; I didn't see anything exciting coming up. Only Edward being Mr. Grumpy-Bear and trying to talk us out of going to the dance. He really needed to get another hobby other than being depressed whenever we had a laugh. Well, we usually had a laugh at his depression, but how is that a bad thing?
The lunch bell rang and I met up with Jasper and Rose.
"Anything going to happen?" Rose asked hopefully, me and her both.
I shook my head. "Nope. Edward is just going to be depressing and beg us to change our minds about the dance."
Rose rolled her eyes. "He's such a jerk. Why can't he let us have some fun?"
Jasper chuckled. "He would, if he wasn't the one we were making fun of."
Rose huffed and led us through the lunch line and to our table. "He could at least have a laugh about it too."
Emmett sat down next to Rose with his tray. "I'm telling you, the man is gay. Ouch!"
He jumped and Edward appeared behind him smirking.
"I told you to cut it about the gay jokes," Edward said righting his chair after Emmett kicked it.
"Well you should get laid someday," Emmett retorted. "Then it wouldn't be an issue."
Everything faded, replaced by the scene in front of me, but different.
"Oh will you shut up about it!" Edward said angrily.
"No I will not. GET LAID! It's not a crime!" Emmett said back just as mad.
"Sorry if I choose not to tear the house down with my repulsive acts unlike you!"
"At least I score once and awhile. When was the last time you… oh wait. You haven't!"
"Would you stop reenacting last night in your head!"
The scene faded and the present lunchroom appeared. Oh great. I thought. I saw Edward about to open his mouth to retort and make my vision come true, so I stepped in.
"Let's have a thumb war!" I held out my thumb to Edward. He looked at me like I had three heads. Would you just do it!
He sighed held out his thumb. "Fine."
We grasped each other's hands and let our thumbs up and started crossing them.
"One," I started, "two, three, four, I see a thumb war-"
"That's not right." Edward said, his thumb freezing in air.
"Yes it is."
"No it's not. It's one, two, three, four, I declare a thumb war."
"No I declared the thumb war."
"I know you did. But that's what you're supposed to say."
"Well I don't want to."
"Well you're supposed to."
"But this is my way. So deal!"
I smiled and started crossing my thumb. He sighed and after a moment did the same.
"One, two, three, four, I see a thumb war. Five, six, seven, eight try to keep your face straight!"
"You're doing it again!"
"What are you talking about? I'm trying to play the game and all you are doing is complaining."
He huffed. "It's supposed to be five, six, seven, eight try to keep your wrist straight."
"Well that's not much of a challenge."
"Well that's what your supposed to say."
"But trying to keep my wrist straight is easy. Trying to keep a straight face is hard. I like to smile; I'm a smiley person. See, more of a challenge."
Edward ignored the others laughing and took a deep breath trying to calm down. "Alice, will you just say the words right?"
"No. I'm doing it my way, because I declared the thumb war!"
"FINE!"
I smiled and started crossing my thumbs again. "One, two, three, four I see a thumb war. Five, six, seven, eight try to keep your face straight."
I let my thumb go up in the air trying to see his moves. His thumb remained straight hearing my thoughts about my moves while I saw all his moves. We sat there the rest of the lunch, un-moving and just staring. The others soon got bored and left us, probably to walk around the school. The bell rang and we stood up. I pointed at my brother.
"It's on like Donkey Kong after school."
He smirked. "What ever you say Diddy Kong."
The rest of the classes went by in a blur and when the last bell rang, I rushed to find Edward. He was ready and held out his hand. I took and stuck my thumb up the same time he did. We broke apart when we got in the car but immediately reconnected. I wasn't going to give in. Jasper said something to me when he got in the car as we drove off but I didn't hear him. My concentration was on World War Three going down in the car between Edward and me.
***
It was about two o'clock in the morning when I heard Emmett huff again. Edward and I were sitting criss-cross on the couch. We hadn't moved an inch since we got home and sat there. I faintly saw Emmett going to get up, but he changed his mind before did. He better not, because I was going to win this.
"Yeah right. I'm going to win." Edward said for the first time since lunch.
"Whatever. I'm so going to own you." If our voices could go hoarse, they would have. We hadn't talked for hours.
"I'm going to win."
"No I am."
"No me."
"No me."
"No me."
"No me!"
Emmett got up so quickly I didn't even see him before hand. He slammed both our thumbs down.
"ONE, TWO, THREE! THERE! YOU BOTH WON!" He shouted and let our thumbs go.
Edward gapped and I stood up tackling him. "NO FAIR! I was going to win. Thanks a lot Emmett!" Emmett stood his ground as if he didn't have a tiny vampire dangling from his neck.
Jasper entered the room with Rose.
"Is it over?" Rose asked.
Emmett nodded while Jasper tried to pry me off of him. "Yes. I got so sick of them just staring at each other."
"Well you could have left!" Edward said trying get on Emmett too.
Esme and Carlisle came in. Esme joined Jasper in successfully prying me off of Emmett while Carlisle sat Edward down.
"Alright, alright," Carlisle said, "Emmett you shouldn't have ruined your brother's and sister's game. Edward and Alice, you two should have called a draw a few hours ago."
I crossed my arms and walked away to my computer. I still needed to finish my wardrobe. Edward wandered to his piano narrowing his eyes at Emmett. Esme smiled at Emmett.
"Emmett," she said, "I think you should apologize to your brother and sister."
Emmett gawked while Edward and I both turned to stare at him. "Why?"
"Because it would be nice, and I told you too."
Emmett huffed and turned to us. "Sorry." His voice sounded as if it took everything to force the word out. "For you two being idiots who don't know when to quit." He muttered under his breath.
Esme placed her hands on her hips. "What?"
"What?" Emmett said looking stunned. He edged out the room and made a break for it towards his room. Edward chuckled and started playing. I turned to my computer and started drawing up my wardrobe project.
We're getting Emmett back at the dance. I thought to Edward. I heard him chuckle again and I knew he agreed. I'm thinking tomato sauce down his pants, or pantsing him in front of everyone. Edward snorted and continued playing. I let him do that while I thought up my diabolical plan. Oh, Emmett was going to pay.
