CHAPTER 4
It was Friday; the day of the sleepover. I was pretty excited, I had to admit. Sleepovers are pretty fun when Alice is 'in charge', though they are totally wild. I had packed all the stuff I needed before school, since straight after we were going to go to the Cullen's house − or mansion I should say.
The ride to Cullen's house was unusually uneventful. Alice insisted on coming in my cab, while dragging Rosalie along as well, both getting into the back seat. Okay. Something was up. Normally Alice or Rose would sit up the front with me or vice versa. But now they were both whispering and giggling in the back, they were going to do something outrageous tonight. And for my sake I hoped it wasn't me, but Tanya in the line of fire.
We finally pulled up in front of the large white house, Emmet and Jasper had just gotten out of their cars and Edward pulled up behind us with Tanya. Rose, Alice grabbed our bags and headed up the front porch stairs. Once we were all settled, we all grabbed seats on the couch. "So what do you guys want to do first?" Rose asked, seating herself happily on Emmet's lap. I heard Edward snort, "I'm sure Allie's got it all planned out, in a timetable perhaps? Or maybe a color coded calendar?" He said grinning. Alice rolled her eyes and chucked a pillow at him –which he caught − but said with a smirk, "Well, yes, you are actually correct my dear brother, for I did make a schedule, and we will be following it. So you guys have nothing to worry about." Yeah, toatally. Nothing to worry about. Not.
'"Well, what's first then?" I asked. She sighed.
"I'll just read the whole thing out..."
"No, it's okay Alice. You can just tell us what to do as it goes." Jasper interjected. I smiled.
"Fine, first up are games, for example: Prank calls and sliding down the stairs in our sleeping bag." She said beaming. Oh. . She was truly crazy, absolutely mental, I seriously had never heard of that one before. Everyone stared at her in silence, "What?" She asked, noticing our blank and slightly amused expressions.
"Err...Allie, how about we don't slide down the stairs in our sleeping bags; you know that's kind of dangerous..." I said.
Her face fell, "Oh...then what about prank calls?"
I rolled my eyes, "Sure thing."
"YAY!"
We spent the next hour or so prank calling people, I only had two goes, because I just cracked up or freaked out and hung up on the confused receiver. Which everyone –exception to Tanya of course− found extremely amusing. Tanya didn't even have a go, she just complained about it being childish and stupid, which it sort of was...but come on! It was also mega fun!
Esme and Carlisle got home from work and that was our queue to set up our sleeping bags. "No! NO! NOO!" Alice shouted hysterically when everyone started setting up their bags in the TV room. "What?" Rose and Emmett asked simultaneously.
"You guys can all help with dinner, and I'll set up the bags." We all exchanged slightly terrified looks.
"Whatever, though it would be nice if you put me next to Eddie, you know." Tanya said smiling sweetly at Alice. Edward looked slightly abashed, though when he turned to un-pack his sleeping bag, Tanya shot Alice an evil glare, then with a swing of her hips strutted off to the kitchen. Bitch.
Alice quickly shooed us off to the kitchen as well, claiming she needed all the time she could get to have it set in time before dinner was ready. Finally Alice joined us, we had Chinese from a local take-away shop for dinner, it was absolutely delicious.
After everyone (excluding Tanya, she excused herself to the bathroom so she didn't have to do any work) had finished cleaning up, Alice led us to the 'sleeping room'.
"So, what do you guys think?" She squealed excitedly, pointing extravagantly to the mattresses like a game show hostess.
The mattresses were set up side by side in a horizontal line occupying the whole space (shows you how large the Cullen's house actually is). Each of the 'beds' were set neatly, pillows, quilts and all. It looked very professional...in a Alice-y way. "So, what do you guys think?" Alice asked again, still grinning – though too enthusiastically, if you ask me.
"Love it Alice, very cool," I heard Emmett say, sounding amused.
Alice giggled delightedly at us, and said, "Great! Now go and find your beds," I shot her a confused look, she smiled innocently back, look closer she mouthed at me. I walked cautiously up to the nearest mattress and bent down. A small piece of paper was neatly tucked between the blanket and pillow, it read Rosalie. Wow, Alice really went full out.
"Guys, it has our names on it." I told the others raising my eyebrows in surprise, who were standing around looking rather confused, but then went to investigate the beds when they had heard me. At that exact moment I realized in awe the extent of Alice weirdness, but I still loved her.
I found my bed soon enough, I looked at the other two beds that occupied the space either side of me...I was next to...Alice, well that was good. I bent down to the bed that was on the other side of mine, I fumbled clumsily with the piece of paper, hoping it didn't read...oh no, Edward. Edward? Why did Alice put me next to him? Hold on, why wouldn't she? She didn't exactly know that I had a crush on him. It would probably be normal because Edward and I always used to have sleepovers when we were younger.
I was overreacting. Snap out of it Bella! It's okay. Just try not to puke on him or something, I felt my face heat up at the idea. "Hey, Bells, looks like we're next to each other," I heard Edward say behind me. I spun around quickly blushing slightly; he had read the paper over my shoulder.
"Yeah...fun," I chuckled nervously. He smiled his crooked smile.
