Disclaimer: Unfortunatly i don't own anything twilight-y or the film Dogeball it is an amazing film though.
I slouched on the floor at the bottom of her bed in a sleeping bag while she waited expectantly. I just sighed. "Come on Lexi?"
"I just…it's confusing"
"What? Jacob?" I shook my head
"Everything" she looked puzzled, I just wanted to tell her, how I'm not even supposed to be here. That I'm not her sister that I have a real family. That I'm British! But that would majorly fuck up a lot of things, I don't even know what'd happen. I couldn't take that risk. "I mean, yeah…sure Jacob. I thinks he likes me but I dunno, I mean it's weird." I let out a big breath and whispered "I think he was gunna kiss me" she laughed at me, she actually laughed; right in my face!
"Why do you sound so sad about it? You like him don't you, what's stopping you?" she had a point, what was stopping me? I smiled "That's what I thought nothing, jeez you over think things sometimes" she rolled her eyes. I smirked, her face dropped a little.
"So…who's this Edward guy then eh?" I asked raising an eyebrow, she blushed then frowned. "uh-oh that bad huh? Spill." she groaned, then in detail described everything he did and how freaked out she was. Easy way to distract her from now on; mention anything about Edward. She even mentioned the eye colour thing; she must really trust me. I always hoped I'd be a good sister.
Bella's eyes began to droop as we talked about random things, I heard some stories from our childhood; our life sounded nice. Then I remembered Edward could get stalker-ish sometimes; he can watch Bella sleep all he wants but there is no way he's watching me. That's just creepy.
I wrote a note and taped it to the window ledge outside, in as neat a handwriting I could manage:
Edward,
Not even sure if you come watch her yet, it's fine you do but it creeps me out, so go do something else tonight. Catch yourself a nice mountain lion ;)
Night, Lex
I snuggled into my sleeping bag on the floor and fell into a deep slumber almost instantly, I must have been tired.
I awoke, yet again, with my body shaking with Bella's face extremely close to mine.
"Urgh, Bella! This better not become a habit; waking me up every morning" she just rolled her eyes.
"Someone has to wake you up, now come on. You need to get ready for school." I hopped up and gathered my clothes for the day. Getting changed after a quick shower and running downstairs to get some breakfast.
"You are aware it's winter and not summer you know" Bella asked eyeing my bare legs poignantly.
I rolled my eyes "Didn't we go over this already yesterday?" she shrugged and grabbed her bag waiting for me to follow her to the truck.
The quick drive to school was over before I knew it and I was hopping out, resisting the urge to stare at the Volvo parked at the far corner of the lot. I was caught off guard when someone slung their arm over my shoulder. Before I knew what was happening I had grabbed the arm and flipped the body onto his back. I stood there shocked for a minute until I heard a low 'Oww' resonating from the body on the floor, I had now found to me mike. I rolled my eyes - figures. I quickly rushed to the body crouching, checking for any major injures I might have caused.
"Oh my god, mike! I am sooo sorry. I didn't mean to" he blinked his eyes a few times and groaned. "Are you OK?" I helped him up and realised as well as the usual group of friends a considerable amount of the other students, and a few teachers had gathered around us. Once he stood he saw the hoards of people crowed he cringed and blushed a little. It then fully set in; I had just flipped mike who is bigger than me - slightly. How was I going to explain this? I didn't even know I could do that. The teachers had come to check on mike awaiting an explanation; there faces tinged with amusement.
"I, erm…" fuck! Explanation, explanation; got it. "…he caught me off guard, my self defence kicked in!" I blurted out, smooth; not suspicious at all. He seemed sceptical I could do it, eyeing me, then the medium built mike. He did seem far too heavy for me to be able to lift. Edward, you get another question if you help me! I shouted internally, within seconds he was stood next to the teacher explaining how I must have had an adrenaline rush from the shock and my self defence move must have subconsciously kicked in. The middle aged teacher seemed to buy it almost instantly, and I kicked my self - could have thought of that; he used that excuse for the truck. That or dazzling works on both sexes, either way I'm off the hook. No-one second guesses the mighty Cullen's. The bell rang dispersing the students almost immediately, I apologised to Mike again and scuttled off to first hour dragging Bella behind me.
After practically running to English to sit in our seats near the back I turned to Bella. "OK, how the fuck did I do that?!?" I whispered angrily getting a slap on the arm for swearing, I rolled my eyes "Really Bells? My language is hardly the issue here. I didn't know I knew how to do that?" she looked confused.
"Lex, what are you talking about. You took all types of self defence for 5 years when you went through your martial arts obsession a while back"
"Whoa, so your saying I actually know all that stuff?" she nodded hesitantly. Ok now I'm confused, I though I made that up? I know I made it up so how the fuck did I just flip Mike? The teacher called class to attention while we were assigned our work. Half way through the class Eric tried to get my attention.
"Psst, Alex!" I groaned.
"What Eric?!?" he looked hesitant "Yes?"
"I though you made up the whole thing to get people off your backs. Did you really put the teacher in a wheelchair?" I looked to Bella, because to be honest in this world I had no idea what I had done any more. I hesitantly shook my head at Eric. While he sighed in relief, he actually believed I'd do that? Thanks a bunch Eric for the vote of confidence. When the bell finally went for chemistry I was quietly shitting myself because I told Edward he could have another question and he would probably make it a good one this time.
Opening the door to chemistry; making myself later than usual on purpose - I found almost all the students in their seats already. I quickly shuffled to my seat and sat down giving Alice a smile as I sorted out my books. That was one thing I noticed I didn't seem to be finding the school work that hard; it sort of came naturally. Which I was super grateful for because it meant I had more time to do other things like think about how to get out of question time with dear Edward in front of me. When the teacher asked us to work in small he turned around, a smug smile on his face. I groaned Just get this over with and ask away.
"Well now, I have a few questions I'd like to ask as well as some from the rest of my family" I groaned and slapped my forehead.
"Well tough shit, one question only then get out my face; I really can't be arsed today. The Mike thing was weird enough without freaky sparkly creatures playing one sided twenty questions with me." He chuckled at my little rant while I shot him a dead eye in return. Ass face I growled at him mentally. He put his hands up in surrender.
"Fine, fine. I would like to know exactly how you know about what me and my family are?"
"Why the fuck? Urgh your such a prick! Fine you want to know?" He smirked and nodded. "I read it!" His mouth dropped open a bit, but before he went to ask another question I interrupted. "Ah ah Cullen, I think you'll find that you've had your question and I answered it." I heard Alice tinkling laugh at Edwards annoyance, while I smiled. "Thanks Cullen" he gave me a questioning glance through his annoyed expression "Annoying you has really brightened my day up - we should do it more often" he growled under his breath quietly "Alice give me one reason I shouldn't let Jasper and Rosalie kill her" I ground my teeth "Because Cullen I can help your family and mine you fucking prick, so be grateful I'm doing something you ungrateful sparkly jerk off!" I spat out at him. Alice and Edward both had shocked faces, mouths slightly open.
Alice was first to speak "How did you even hear that?" she whispered.
"I'm not deaf - he was only whispering" she shook her head.
"No, he was talking vampire quiet; not human quiet" she spoke slightly shocked. I could hear him perfectly fine, maybe it was just Bella who was deaf; I shrugged. Then quickly scrawled the rest of my answers on the worksheet before the bell to stop them trying to interrogate me some more.
Then quickly rushed off to trig, soon to be met by Jessica giving me evil eye - probably for flipping her 'perfect boyfriend'. I rolled my eyes and flipped her off before I sat down next to Bella; resting my head on her shoulder with a sigh. "Why does my life have to be so fucked up all the time?" she chuckled and stroked my head tucking my hair behind my ear.
"Because li'l sis, you are so fucked up" I gave her a mock evil glare and laughed with her.
"Thanks a bunch" I muttered completing the trig sheet in about 10 minutes leaving me the rest of the lesson to contemplate things. Half way through the lesson I noticed Bella had finished too and was doodling what appeared to be Edwards eyes across her notebook.
I shook my head "Ooh, your getting good at drawing your boyfriends eyes aren't you Bells" I taunted earning me a scowl which quickly turned into a blush. "Hey by the way, can I drive?" she gave me one of those confused looks.
"Your asking me if you can drive?"
"Well...yeah"
"Not that Renee ever found out; but I taught you last year. After you begged me for months and hen bribed me. You were a natural but since you didn't have a permit then we never told her."
A grin spread across my face "Didn't?" Oh I can't wait to drive; stupid law in England having to be seventeen.
"Yeah you got your permit just before we left, Charlie pulled some strings and your license should arrive my mail in a month - just before your sixteenth birthday." I was literally grinning I can't wait to get behind the wheel, lets hope the talent for driving kicks in like everything else. Wait, my birthday?
"Awesome, I'm gunna have to find a car then because there is no way I'm driving your orange tank anywhere except to the junk yard."
"Hey, the orange beast is amazing. Also you don't have to worry about getting a car" she stated smugly.
"I don't?"
"Nope, me and Charlie have it covered" I squealed and jumped up chanted 'thank-you' over and over until the teacher coughed and I noticed everyone staring at me.
I rolled my eyes "Sorry for being excited, jeez." Everyone quickly turned to the front while Mr. Varner promptly told me sit down and be quiet unless I wanted to discuss this after school. I scoffed and sat down next to an embarrassed Bella. "What? It's not like they were staring at you" she just shrunk into her chair. Great my own sister's embarrassed by me – wow I feel so loved.
I actually sighed in relief when the bell went for gym. I can let out some of the energy by beating some saps at sport. I quickly changed into the supplied sports kit and meet Angela to wait for today's activities to start. I was bouncing with excitement.
Angela chuckled "Calm it down Lexi" I grinned at her, a plan forming in my mind. I quickly put her on my shoulder and ran around to find Emmett.
"Emmett!" he quickly cut off his, no doubt boring, conversation with Edward to rush over to me.
"What?" he asked a confused expression all over his face as he looks at Angela.
Angela starts laughing and struggling to get down, I can't believe I'm strong enough to lift her; but she is a twig. "I brought you a pic-a-nic Yogi" I declared winking and putting Angela in front of Emmett. His bellowing laugh resonated around the hall as he patted my head, while I grinned in return.
"Thanks Boo-boo" I laughed and saluted him.
"Think of it as a thanks for the x-box. Which I totally broke-in last night beating the shit out of Jake" I grinned. Angela gave me a mock evil glare and went to talk to some other less weird people no doubt, after straightening her clothes out.
"Ha, I bet you wouldn't beat me" he boomed, I put out my hand.
"Bet you I would" he grasped my hand and shook it, I cringed momentarily at his icy grip but quickly recovered into a smirk "You have no idea how badly you're going to fail."
Coach Clapp blew the whistle to gather round, me and Angela ran to get to there when a bag of dodge balls were placed in front of the crowd. My eyes lit up - this was a game I knew how to play. I looked up at Emmett and smirked he grinned at me; while Edward shook his head at both of us mumbling about children.
When coach split us up I ended up on what I though was the weaker team. I did however have Angela and Emmett. Even though all the other sporty people and Edward ended up and other side; we could still win – I knew it.
"REMEMBER EVERYONE: DODGE, DIP, DUCK, DIVE AND DODGE!" Everyone gave me a puzzled stare; when the whistle blew almost immediately half our side were out. Angela was surprisingly nimble at dodging the flying red projectiles. Edward and Emmett were having troubling controlling there strength and speed. I rolled a few balls towards Emmett and motioned to Edward.
"Damn it Edward stop being so good at dodging big red balls!" I called out when he dodged all of Emmett's powerful throws. I stood behind Emmett with a ball then whispered duck, pelting it full speed at Edward, it hit him right in the face. I literally burst out laughing rolling around on the floor. Edward moodily stomped off leaving Emmett to get rid of most of the remaining players.
I stood up and saw a ball coming at full pelt towards my face; knowing it was too fast to dodge I closed my eyes and waited for impact putting my hands up to attempt to if not catch, at least slow it down. When the ball landed firmly in my hands I grinned and jumped up and down. Leaving the remaining player on the other side to stalk off after being caught out. Angela ran over to me.
"That was such a good catch, how you manage it?"
I put on a deep voice "If you can dodge a spanner, you can dodge a ball" Angela just rolled her eyes at me. I laughed and told her to go get changed and I'd see her later.
Emmett's laughter boomed around the halls as he was talking to Edward. I ran up and jumped on his back. "What's happening peeps?" He chuckled slightly and ruffled my hair.
"See Edward she's awesome, Rosalie and Jasper will just have to deal" I stuck my tongue out at Edward.
"Stop trying to get people to kill me, it's really mean!" I whined in a baby voice. "I know your jealous 'coz I got you out but fighting dosen't solve anything...It's just really fun" I stated sticking my tongue out. "Hey Yogi can you get Rosalie to come shopping with me and Alice pleeeeease" He chuckled and ruffled my hair again; I huffed sorting my hair out and putting it back into a ponytail.
"I'll try Boo-boo" I grinned.
"Thanks, see Jerk-ward at least someone likes me apart from Alice and Angela." I kicked Emmett's sides "To the changing rooms!" I declared pointing upwards, earning a few stares from the class mates and a chuckle from Emmett as he piggy backed me to the changing rooms. "Thanks Em" I said patting his head while I hopped off to go and get changed.
