Chapter 7:
An hour later we were back home. Alice was sitting by the kitchen table, doing her homework since she remembered that we didn't have wireless-internet. She wasn't all too happy, but decided that if she made the homework for the rest of the week she could go shopping while I had basketball practice tomorrow. Cynthia and I on the other hand were having a blast. We were making chocolate and strawberry cup-cakes. We couldn't decide which one to do, so we made both. The front door opened and I heard Jasper enter with some of his friends. They were discussing something with loud voices.
"Hi Jazzy!" Cynthia screamed when she heard them and ran to the hall to greet him.
I laughed at the sight of the over energetic girl, covered in flour running out of the kitchen.
"You mess, you clean!" I yelled after her, laughing.
"Naaw, I'll help you." I heard Jasper say.
"Hey Jazz." I said as they came through the door.
It was Jasper, Adam and Chris. Cynthia was riding on Jasper's back, and the guys were laughing.
"You're so whipped man." Chris said grinning.
"Hi guys!" I said raising a hand covered in flour.
"Hi sis!" Adam and Chris said at the same time and ran up to give me a hug.
"Hello, you're interrupting my study time!" Alice whined.
"Sorry Alice. Hey, you're going homework?" Chris said, sounding shocked.
"Yes. If I finish it today I can go shopping tomorrow." Alice explained.
"Oh, need help?" Chris asked.
"Please!"
"What are you doing?" Adam asked me.
"Me and Bella are making cup-cakes." Cynthia said with a serious voice.
"You want any help eating them?" Adam asked.
"No, they're mine." Cynthia stated and glared at him.
She looked so cute.
"Too bad."
"C'mon Adam, we should leave the girls alone." Jasper said, helping Cynthia down from his back.
"Yeah, see you later." Adam said smiling.
He gave Cynthia a kiss on her forehead before he and Jasper walked upstairs. Alice and Chris went to the living room, chatting about their physics homework. I turned back to Cynthia and asked;
"Now, where were we before the guys so rudely interrupted us?"
"CUP-CAKES!" Cynthia screamed, giggling.
I laughed with her, and we went back to making the cup-cakes.
Later that evening, after dinner all of us were sitting in the living room eating the cup-cakes Cynthia and I had made earlier. We were talking about our day, and laughing a lot. Alice and I had decided to tell dad about BED. He took it surprisingly well. I think he remembered how sad Alice was when Jackson dumped her, and he didn't want anyone else to feel like that. He allowed us to keep doing it, as long as Jasper kept an eye on us. We agreed and that was that. Alice's mobile rang while Jasper was telling us about a thing Adam did today. She answered it and walked out into the kitchen.
"So, we were walking down the hallway when Kate came out from a classroom. I swear, he just stopped and stared. He was even drooling."
All of us laughed at the picture of it.
"That's not all. When she had disappeared around a corner, he was still staring after her. I had to give him a head slap to wake him up."
We laughed even more, poor Adam. He had had a crush on Kate for ages, and he didn't have the guts to tell her. We were always teasing him for it. I decided to talk to Kate as soon as possible, ask her about Adam… Then Alice came back in with her phone in her hand, and with a very sad expression.
"Mom is coming home on Wednesday, and she wants us "home" by then." Alice explained.
"No! I want to stay her with you! This is my home." Cynthia said.
She looked like she was going to cry, and climbed into Charlie's lap. Jasper leaned over and gave her a kiss on her head.
"We don't want you to leave either Cynth', but your mom misses you." Jasper said, sounding so grown up.
"I don't miss her! I will miss you!" Cynthia whined.
Alice still hadn't said a word. I dragged her down next to me, and put my arms around her. I was going to miss having her with me all the time.
"Ali, say something." Jasper said.
"I don't want to go. Who's gonna dress you Bella?" She asked, sounding devastated.
The rest of the evening we spent in the sofa, curled up together. Charlie had to go sleep at half past 10, and sent the rest of us upstairs as well. It was way past Cynthia's bedtime anyway. Alice and I put her to bed. Then we brushed our teeth and changed into our pj's. At 11 o'clock we were laying together in my big bed.
"Ali, we knew that they were bound to come back soon."
"I know that Bells. But it doesn't make it any better."
I hugged her closer and said;
"You can still text me every morning to tell me what to wear. And I promise I'll wear it."
"You do?" She asked, for the first time sounding happier.
"Yes."
I knew I was going to regret it later, but right now it was worth it.
"Okay. Now, we have to plan for Wednesday." Alice said, sounding like her usual, over energetic self.
"Not so fast Ali. Remember what your part is? We're going to find the best guy in school for you."
"Humph! Why do you have to remember everything?" Alice whined.
"Stop whining and start thinking about boys here."
"Fine…"
A few minutes later, after some serious thinking I spoke up.
"So first off we have Chris. He is a great guy, helping you with your homework, he's good looking, a basketball player, he's kind…"
"But unfortunately he's gay." Alice interrupted.
"Right, otherwise he'd be perfect."
"So Mike?" Alice asked.
"Well, he has the hot's for you, he's pretty good looking and kind. But he's not too bright, and he's like a puppy, and not one of the cute ones."
"Yeah, you're right. He can't seem to stop following me, so no."
"Oscar and Adrian are jerks. They can't stop following Eddie-boy."
"Plus they have started to act like him, like players."
"And they always prank people, and their pranks are horrible. So definitely NOT."
"How about Erik? He's kind, one of the team, a good actor and pretty fit." I said.
"Well… he's not too bright either and he only has his eyes for you. Jazz is going to beat the shit out of him, if he doesn't stop drooling after you at practice."
"Oh. Then he's out. And so are Carl, Connor and David, they already have girlfriends. Jamie then? He's funny, kind, HOT!, loyal and could make a great boyfriend."
"But he's dating Sarah." Alice stated.
"He is?" I asked, very confused.
I didn't know that. Good for him I guess, Sarah was nice.
"Yes, so he is a no go. Alice said."
"Okay…"
"Not Anton or John. They are also worshiping Eddie."
"Eww, no. I don't like them. Maybe Patrick or Max. They are good guys."
"Yes, they're kind, good looking and they're on the team. That's a big plus."
"Yes. That means they won't dare to hurt you, since Jazz would kill them and I know them better. Patrick is a great singer, and he plays the guitar. Max is a fun prankster, everyone laugh when he prank someone."
"Yeah, they're good. Should I be writing this down? Alice asked sounding amused.
"Good idea. Write down a Yes-side, a No-side and an Okay-side. Plus, write down the good and the bad things with them."
"Okay."
She jumped out of the bed and danced over to my desk. She picked up a pen and a notepad before she came back. She sat down on top of the cover and wrote down the good and the bad ones. While she did that, I thought about the guys we had left.
"I'm done." Alice said and looked up from the notepad.
"Good. Taylor and Eric are okay, but not so much more. They are kind, and pretty good looking. I love Eric's jet-black hair, but he's always looking for something to write about in the paper. That's annoying me."
"Mm, you're right. They'll end up under okay."
"Oh, we forgot about Adam!" Alice squealed.
"Ali, he only has his eyes for Kate. And I thought you said that he was going to flirt with me."
"Yes, but we should still bring him up. We did with Chris and Jamie."
"Fine. He's a really good guy, I like him a lot. He looks good, he's funny as hell, very well trained and so kind. I think he is my favorite guy on the team."
I was of in lala-land, remembering all the times Adam and I had done fun things together. Last month on a way game, we played a pretty mean joke on the cheerleaders. The basketball team and us found it hilarious, Lauren and her clones didn't. Apparently they don't like blue and red hair. We thought it brought out a good spirit, since our team colors are blue and red.
"Hello Bells?" Alice asked, snapping me out.
"Oh sorry, just remembered the blue and red hair-incident." I said with a snicker.
"Oh, that was a good one." Alice said smiling widely.
"Hey, if Adam is on our list, so should Jacob."
"But he's your ex. I can't date him."
"Well, most of the guys on our list you can't date. So he will be on it. Plus, who said you couldn't? I want him to have a great girlfriend, he deserves it. Especially since I'm going to "date" Eddie now." I said, making quote-marks over "date".
"Fine. What about him then?
"He's fun, very good looking, a great mechanic, the kindness self and a true friend."
Alice wrote it down on the notepad and when she was done she looked up.
"Done! Now, back to business. Do we have any guys left?" Alice asked.
"Not so many that I know so much about. Alexander, Kevin and Riley are okay guys I guess. But as I said, I don't know them very well. They seem fun, kind and they are cute."
"Yeah, I'll put them under okay as well."
"So who do we have?" I asked, trying to stiff a yaw.
"Under Yes we have; Max and Patrick. And under No we have; Chris, Mike, Oscar, Adrian, Erik, Carl, Connor, David, Jamie, Anton, John and Adam. And the guys that are okay are; Taylor, Eric, Alexander, Kevin, Riley and Jacob."
"Hmm. We have a lot of guys under No, almost as many under Okay, and only two good…" I said, while I yawed hugely again.
"Maybe we should go for guys outside the school. Jacob's friends Quil and Embry are fun and kind. They have great personalities, and Embry drives a motorcycle. Or maybe Jasper." I then added.
"Your brother Jazz?" Alice asked, sounding a bit shocked.
"Yeah him, who else? He is gorgeous, smart, kind, a real gentleman. He's also veery fit, a great basketball player and he's our best friend. I don't think it gets better."
"But he's your brother." Alice stated.
"So what? Rather you then anyone else." I said, and then I think I fell asleep.
A/N: That was chapter seven everyone. I hope you all liked it. It can't be all about Bella all the time, so this chapter was the start of Alice's Game. BED will be back in action next chapter.
I have noticed that it some takes time for me to write each chapter, maybe because I want it to be perfect before I let any of you read it. Or maybe it's because I have a lot to do, and a lot to read :-) any way, I'm sorry. I'll try to write faster.
By the way, if you talk about my story in one of your stories then I'll mention your story here. We all should help each other.
Since I like your reviews so much, I've decided to thank you for them. I love the ones that give me good feed-back, so the 3 best reviews are going to get a sneak-peak of chapter 8 before everyone else. I hope that motivates you. With best it doesn't need to be the nicest, but the one I like the most. Again, Thank You so much for your support. Love, A.
