***THIRD POV***
"Alice, I know you're angry, but I honestly was just sent up there to get you two" Seth pleads his case from behind Jake and Leah.
Alice continues to glare at Seth with a frown on her face while Bella goes to sit down.
"Then what was up with you saying that you hoped they were kissing when you walk in" Caleb speaks up with an innocent tone.
Seth's eyes widen and Alice's glare intensifies.
"I-I didn't say that; I swear" Seth says as he continues to cower.
"I'm not getting involved with this" Leah states as she steps away.
"And I'm no one's human-shield" Jake agrees as he steps away too.
Seth doesn't say anything as he's paralyzed by the deadly look in Alice's eyes.
"Alright, for the sake of Seth's life, he said nothing about wanting to see you and Bella making out" Anthony says as he brings the food over.
Alice quickly moves her gaze to him, but her eyes are narrowed in questioning.
"Alice, this is sweet, innocent Seth we're talking about; sure I could see it from Emmett or Caleb, but Seth, get a grip" Bella commands in an exasperated tone, finally speaking for the first time since she had entered the room.
Alice blinks before looking down sheepishly while everyone else watches on in amusement.
"Sorry" Alice mumbles and Bella sighs before smiling.
"You're cute, when you're angry" Bella says and Alice looks over at her with a pout.
"Only when I'm angry" she asks.
"Ok, you're always cute" Bella answers and Alice giggles.
"Thanks, love" Alice says as she dances over to Bella and kisses her cheek before wrinkling her nose at the human food.
"Well, I'm going to leave you all to your nasty human food; if you need me, I'll be in the game room" Caleb says before he quickly runs off.
"That boy and his games" Anthony sighs with a roll of his eyes and Bella turns to him.
"What are you three going to be doing while we're at school" she asks.
"We'll just be hanging around here and stay out of sight" he answers with a shrug.
"That has to be boring" Alice says with a frown.
"It doesn't take much to entertain us; Caleb has the video games while Leon and I have the books in Shane's study" he replies.
"It'll keep us busy until you all return from school; we could also always spar to pass the time" Leon suggests and Shane clears her throat to catch everyone's attention.
"Speaking of school; we need to go or we'll all be late" Shane says as she places everyone plates in the sink before walking towards the door with everyone else going as well.
Just as she's about to walk out the door, she spins on her heel and looks over at Leon.
"And don't even think about trying to clean up this place, any of you; it's not your responsibility to do so" she points her finger at Leon and Anthony who raise their hands in surrender.
"Won't touch a thing" Leon smirks and Shane throws him a warning look before walking out the door.
As everyone enters the garage, Jake and Leah take one of the dirt bikes and Seth takes the other while the rest get in the Camaro.
"I don't understand why we have to go to school today" Alice pouts from the back.
"Because there's nothing wrong with anyone; not to mention I talked to Esme and she said you all should go, as well" Shane states.
"We already have a college degree" she argues.
"But Bella and I don't because we aren't immortal vampires" Shane replies.
"No, you're just people who can turn into overgrown puppies" Elizabeth teases.
"Hey" Bella and Shane cry indignantly.
"It is true" Alice giggles in agreement and Bella scowls at her.
"We happen to turn into giant, fierce, powerful wolves" Bella states as they pull into the school parking lot.
"Nope, just overgrown puppies" she argues as they get out of the car.
"Take it back, Alice" Bella commands.
"Or what, you'll pout and wag your tail" Alice teases and Bella scowls at her.
"That's it; no more kisses for you until tomorrow" Bella says and Alice's eyes widen in shock.
"You wouldn't" she argues, but there's not much conviction in her voice.
Bella doesn't say anything as she just walks off and into the school while Alice turns to Shane and Elizabeth.
"She won't really not kiss me for the whole day, right" she asks.
"Knowing Bella, there's no idea what's going through her mind" Shane answers with a shrug just as the rest of the Cullens enter the parking lot.
"What's wrong, Alice; I can feel your dread, annoyance, and worry" Jasper asks as he walks over with Edward.
"Bella said she wasn't going to kiss Alice until tomorrow" Edward answers with a snicker causing Jasper to chuckle.
"Don't worry, Alice; it's just one day" Elizabeth says, trying to cheer the pixie up.
"Stupid, annoying mate; she's going to get it for this" Alice grumbles under her breath as she stalks off towards her first class.
"How much do you want to bet that Bella will cave first" Edward asks.
"I don't know; Bella can be stubborn when she wants to be" Shane answers with a shrug.
"And Alice can be really persuasive; I have a feeling she's going to be teasing Bella all day just to get the girl to kiss her" Elizabeth says.
"Good point; alright, twenty on Bella caving before school's over" Jake states.
"I'll put twenty on her caving before lunch" Leah laughs.
"Thirty on caving before dinner" Edward states before turning to Jasper.
"I'll say thirty before Bella goes to bed" Jasper says before everyone looks at Seth, Elizabeth, and Shane.
"I'll put thirty on Bella not caving; gotta have someone rooting for her" Seth laughs with a shrug.
"I'm not getting involved in this" Elizabeth states before everyone's attention focuses on Shane.
"Fifty on Alice finding a loop-hole; anyone want to match that" she smirks.
Everyone mummers a little before finally agreeing.
"Alright, I'll keep track of everything and I'll hand out the money to the winner tomorrow; now, can we please go to class" Elizabeth asks and everyone laughs before walking into the school.
How do you think it's going to turn out? We'll find out next chapter, but until then l8er.
