Chapter 3: GLEEK WEEK part 2

Sorry I haven't been updating lately. Uni. Don't give up on me! I have a easier timetable this semester so I will update more often. Please review. I really don't know how many people are reading this, if it's good or bad or anything... so please, please review.

Edward's Point of View

Everyone's standing in complete silence as Esme walks to the front of the room, envelopes in hand.

"The votes are in! My husband, Carlisle and I-"

Carlisle? When did he get here?

"-have divided you into three groups; females, males and counsellors. Each group will have someone in first, second and third place and will be awarded points, first place getting 20 points, second place getting 15 points and third place getting 10 points."

Esme is interrupted by Emmett – who else – as he yells, "JUST TELL US WHO WON ALREADY!"

"First group will be female campers..." Esme begins, ignoring her bear of a son, "third place is the song Cold Hearted sung by Katie-"

Huh, I know a Katie…

"- and Lauren-"

…and a Lauren…

"- of the GLEEK cabin!"

…and I'm in the Gleek cabin…

Oh. We Won.

WE WON!

Yeah, yeah kids. Don't get excited… there's still 8 more people to be placed… and you were only third…

I know. I'm pessimistic. Deal with it.

Katie and Lauren run up onto the stage and squeal loudly into the microphone making my ears bleed.

"Second place is the song Don't Stop Believing," Esme continues, after snatching the microphone from the two girls from my cabin, "sung in a stunning performance by Jasmine from the WARBLERS!"

Emmett just shrugged and Jessica unenthusiastically yells, "Yay team!"

Esme frowns at the lack of encouragement from the counsellors of that cabin, then continues, "And the winner is the group performance from every girl in this cabin, the song Run the World (Girls) sung by the females of the UNI-BICORN cabin!"

To my (not so) utter shock, Alice – who is a counsellor of this cabin – jumps up and screams, "YES! GO UNI-BICORNS! WE RULE! EVERYONE UP ON STAGE!"

Esme looks very pleased by this enthusiastic display of leadership from Alice. Her co-counsellor, Mike Newton, however, sits there glaring at anything and everything that gets in his way… or looks at him…

If looks could kill…

Actually, I would win. I am a vampire after all.

Oh! Esme's talking. I better listen.

"Now to award the male campers," Esme says, Alice had obviously stopped her ear splitting screaming…

"With the song, It's My Life/Confessions, third place goes to…" Carlisle starts, "The quartet from SLUSHIED cabin, is Josh, Michael, Jamie and Liam!"

And this was obviously Jaspers cue to scream, and for said quartet to jump up and throw slushies at the boys in Emmett and Jessica's 'Warblers' cabin, while screaming, "you've just been slushied!"

Real original Jasper….

The boys were told to clean up. When they return Carlisle starts to announce second place.

"With a spectacular version of the song, She's not there," Carlisle smiles, "it's the GLEEK cabin with Jason!"

Everyone – and I mean everyone in our cabin screams. And then the girls shriek, because apparently, this guy is 'hot'.

Whatever.

Once the shrieking dies down Carlisle starts speaking again, "And last but not least, with the song, It's Not Unusual, first place goes to Chris from CHEERIOS cabin!"

Rosalie looks so goddamn pleased. She looks like she just won the lottery or discovered the cure for cancer.

I think she's just happy to have won something at this stupid camp.

"Now," Esme begins again, "the counsellor performances. These were judged by the campers. Third place is, scraping by on pure comedic value, with the song Hit Me with Your Best Shot/One Way or Another, is Emmett and Jessica from WARBLERS cabin!"

Jessica squeals and hugs Emmett – oh! Rosalie won't like that. Not at all. And, yup! Total death glare from Rosalie to Jessica. Once again, if looks could kill…

Emmett, to be fair, looks completely shell shocked. Once he gets over it, however, he gently (by our standards) pushes Jessica away and shrugs apologetically to Rosalie, who doesn't notice because she's still too busy glaring at Jessica…

Oh well. More entertainment for me…

"Second place," Esme hurries on, seeing the look on Rosalie's face, "is… oh! This is a surprise…. The song, Trouty Mouth sung by Rosalie from CHEERIOS cabin…"

And cue another satisfied smirk on Rosalie's face.

I turn around to check if I was right, and sure enough, Rosalie is smirking as the mutt pouts. Ha! Take that dog!

"And finally!" Esme yells, to get everyone's attention after that shocker of a placing, "First place is Misery sung by Jasper from the SLUSHIED cabin!"

They better not throw anymore slushies!

Thankfully they didn't. Instead they –not so thankfully- screamed until my ears bled… or they would have if they could have…

"So," Carlisle continues, "The scores are thus: Cheerio's cabin are in the lead with thirty five points, Slushied cabin is next with thirty points, tied for third are the Warblers cabin and the Gleek cabin with twenty five points and bringing up the rear is the Uni-bicorn cabin with twenty points. Don't worry, you will have more opportunities to earn points, however, now it is time for free time and then bed at ten pm. No talking after eleven or your cabin will lose privileges. Good night!"

Alice does not look very happy about her cabins placing but after getting a vacant look in her eyes as Carlisle mentions 'other opportunities' she walks off with her cabin with a grin.

I don't even want to know what's going through her little pixie head…

Jasper's Point of View:

My day totally sucked! Though I did win a singing competition I did not and I repeat DID NOT want to enter…

And now I have to look after 18 kids on my own… though Bella sleeps with the girls in their room, just to make sure… nothing bad… happens. Like me drinking their blood….

That would be bad.

Very bad.

Anyway, now we are off to our cabins. My cabin is Cabin number 4 though it has 'SLUSHIED!' painted on a banner in bright colours which in immaculately draped across the front of the cabin over the door.

Esme. Never underestimate her.

Ever.

We Cullens can give this advice, but never follow it.

Except Edward. He's the exception.

Anyway, since Bella's taking care of the girls, I head to the boys room, and see a war zone.

Esme won't be impressed at Inspection tomorrow.

"What is going on?" I ask sternly, just as an errant sock flies past, an inch away from my ear.

"Nothing!" they all chant at once, in very weird voices. Something boys do when they know they've been caught.

I should know. I'm a boy.

Oh god. Emmett's rubbing off on me.

Not a good thing.

"Josh! Michael! Jamie! Liam! Peter! Caleb! Colin! Warren! What the hell is going on?" I ask, with my I-am-a-major-in-the-army-do-as-I-say voice.

Surprisingly, they all snap to attention and look to one another for guidance.

"We were having a luggage fight. Don't judge us. Its fun," Warren says, obviously seeing my confused judging face.

"Whatever. Just go to sleep. NOW." I want to leave. So sleep little children. Sleep.

Obviously children at this age are defiant because Jamie decided to be a little jerk.

"NO. I will not sleep! You cannot make me." He snaps, crossing his arms and stomping one foot.

"It's ten thirty. Please just sleep." I ask, sighing as they all shake their heads.

Suddenly, just as I'm about to give up, there's a knock at the door.

And in walks Edward, carrying with him, eight cups of hot chocolate…

And that's supposed to do what?

"Hot milk, Jasper." Edward replies, continuing his explanation when he sees my confused face, "It's known to help people fall asleep. Esme recommended we give a cup to the kids."

Mercifully, it works. The kids are all asleep within half an hour.

Edward's a genius…

"Why thank you, Brother."

And with that, Edward leaves my cabin, leaving me to clean the boys' mess, or face Esme's wrath.
