"Illegal Russian spy that is plotting a terrorist attack?" I said into the receiver. "You couldn't make it a little more believable?"
"I'm just having fun, Bells." Protested Cooper from the other line.
"You didn't happen to watch Salt lately, have you?"
"Huh?"
"Point being, this isn't a movie. It's ridiculous! And no joke, that movie kind of sucks too. But that's beside the point!"
"Wait, but how did you even know about the plan? I didn't even tell you yet."
I sighed. "Alice is like, psychic or something."
"She's what?" He asked, completely flat.
"Psychic or something" I repeated.
"What?"
"PSYCHIC OR SOMETHING, you dimwit!"
"Oh. True. But like, what?"
I sighed again. I knew this sounded crazy. "We were mid conversation when she looked at the Exit sign and suddenly knew about our plans."
". . . the Exit sign told her?"
"Yes."
"And you saw this happen?"
"Yes." I breathed.
"Hmm . . ." He replied, seemingly deep in thought. "I gotta go eat dinner, I'll see you tomorrow."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Click.
I continued to browse Facebook, cursing Alice for not having a profile.
I would so be in her top friends. . .
...
I was late when I got to Biology, and apparently someone had taken my spot.
Sitting at my desk was Edward Cullen - Alice's brother, from what I knew by my creeping.
I sat in the chair beside him, seeing as it was the only empty seat, and was just about to introduce myself when I saw him cringe away from me.
What a dick.
"Hi," I said. What the fuck is your problem?
He looked like he was about to throw up.
Insulted by his non-reply, I flipped my hair to create a wall between me and Dickhead.
This causes him to fall out of his chair.
I find this hilarious.
Why?
I don't know, but I made an effort to flip my hair as many times as I could.
Flip.
Cringe.
Flip.
His pencil is shattered.
Flip.
Another pencil.
Flip.
This was YouTube.
I didn't care that I probably looked psychotic, constantly flipping my hair. But Willow Smith did it and now she has a music video.
Whatever.
Flip.
"Sir I need to go to the bathroom!" He cried, running out of the room.
What a weirdo.
Edward didn't come back the entire class, and I respectively took my rightful seat back.
Silly albino, taking my seat.
...
I was on my way to English when I nearly crashed into a curly-haired Cooper.
"Cooper,"
"Hey Bella."
We were standing outside of my English classroom.
"What are you doing here? Don't you have Phys. Ed.?" I asked him.
Cooper looked a little bit embarrassed. "Yeah . . ." He muttered.
I raised my eyebrow at him. I looked directly above us and saw the Exit sign. The sudden realization almost made me laugh.
"Cooper, were you staring at this Exit sign?"
"No," He defended, but I knew him better than that.
"You so were."
"Fine. I was."
"And?" I pressed on.
"And what?"
"What did you discover." I said, waving my hands around all mysterious-like.
"Nothing." He stated.
"Exactly. Because it's just a damn Exit sign." I said, smacking him in the head."Go to class Coop."
"But it's so fascinating! I need to find the meaning behind it." He said, evading another one of my swipes.
I rolled my eyes. "Whatever. I'm going to English."
"Later."
Walking into the class, I saw Alice there, already with her books out.
I squirted my mouth with my new peppermint spray.
Oh yeah.
Alright, let me explain the Russia thing.
I just wanted to throw something in there to sorta reveal a little bit of Cooper and Bella's character.
Naturally, I thought of the most ridiculous thing I could.
Deportation to Russia. Haha, and I love it.
