So I couldn't help but feel a little pissed when Alice decided to ditch me. Part of me really wanted to find her and shock but I knew that I had to control that and couldn't shock whoever I wanted. Hmm maybe I could take my frustration out on a tree. But I would have to make sure I wasn't standing in the part in the way that it falls down. Maybe I could just shock some small animal…okay I have some serious issues for thinking about that. I'll just yell at her tomorrow at school. That seems like what they did in those high school shows.
I made my way home and noticed that Uncle Charlie's car was not in the driveway. I sighed wondering what I was going to do for dinner. I noticed that there was a number for some sort of pizza place on the fridge. I decided that I should probably give them a call. I had never had pizza before so I decided to order whatever was the most which happened to be pepperoni. That wasn't that surprised because the people were always eating it in the high school shows. I wonder what it tasted like.
They said that it would be 45 minutes for the pizza to deliver so that would give me time to take a shower. Once I was done with that, I grabbed some of my new clothes. I decided on a checkered sweater with a tank top underneath and a blue jean miniskirt. I tied my hair in some of kind of updo so it could dry faster. At least I think that's what it was supposed to do. I went downstairs and waited for my food to arrive. I was not the best at waiting for food. I turned on the TV to see if one of those high school shows was on. I turned on 90210. One of the first things I noticed was the fact that Naomi, the main girl was hot. I didn't know who played but that didn't matter. The doorbell then rang. I opened it and it was the Asian guy. Derek…no…Edward no, that's not it…Eric.
"Eric, you're a pizza guy?" I asked. That must have been one of those part-time jobs that I heard of. I probably wouldn't do anything though.
"Yeah that will be 12.23" He said as I handed him my credit card. He swiped it in some sort of machine that was on his belt. I took the pizza from him and noticed he was still standing there.
"Yes?" I asked
"This is the part where you're supposed to give me a tip." He told me.
"What's a tip?" I questioned.
"It's where you give me money for bringing it here. Cash that is." He explained.
"Oh I don't really have cash." I said as I looked around. "But you can have…this pen."
I handed him the pen and closed the door. I then carried the pizza to the kitchen. I poured myself a glass of milk and took a bite. I was then hit with the revelation that pizza was delicious. It was very good.
As I was eating my first slice, Charlie walked into the house.
"Hey Kid." He greeted. "Ooh pizza."
"You can have some as long as you don't eat it all." I told him. "You didn't tell me that I had to have money for a tip."
"I thought that went without saying." He responded.
"Well Daddy never let me have pizza so I didn't know." I replied. "I also don't have any money, just my credit card."
"There's probably some sort of limit on that." He warned me. "So would you be interested in heading to the store and picking some stuff out?"
"What kind of stuff?" I asked.
"Well probably some food, you should probably get some bathroom supplies and anything else you wanna get." He explained. "Some school supplies would probably be good."
"Okay yeah I'll go there." I replied.
So I went to the store that night. Uncle Charlie had given me a list because I had no idea what to get. When it came to shampoo, I made sure to smell each one. Some of them just smelled just like regular poo. I definitely didn't want to put that in my hair. Smelling nice was probably definitely good.
The next day I went to school and decided that would confront Alice in the parking lot about leaving me. Maybe if I was lucky, I could get her alone so I could give a few warning shocks so she'll never do that again. Though, I don't think that the chances of the last part were very good. I looked into the parking lot eventually the Cullens arrived. The most unusual part was that the big guy, I think his name was Emmett was standing on the back of a Jeep. Finally I saw Alice step out of the car. They saw me looking at her rather angrily.
"Uh Rosalie, I need you to come to the bathroom with me." Naomi said as she pulled her taller sister away. Emmett and Jasper didn't say anything, they just left.
"So you want to talk about yesterday and how I abandoned you." Alice guessed. She seemed pretty certain that's what it was. "Let me say that I'm really sorry and I probably should have told you that I needed to leave early ahead of time."
"You're damn right you should have." I responded, gritting my teeth
"How about I make it up to you?" She suggested.
"What?" I asked in surprise.
"I could take you out shopping again." She suggested.
"I think I have enough clothes." I told her.
"You can never have enough clothes." Alice argued.
"I'm pretty sure that I filled my entire closet." I told her.
"Okay then I can take you our swimming pool." She replied with a smile on her face. It was such a nice one. How did she get teeth like that?
"A pool with like water in it?" I asked. She nodded and I shuddered. I'm pretty sure that pools and electricity don't mix.
"Do you like not know how to swim?" Alice questioned.
"I don't like water." I replied. "Water is bad."
"You picked the wrong place for that." Alice said. "So maybe I could take you to a movie then."
"Damn it I had this whole speech planned and you're being really nice to me. This isn't how I planned for this to go." I whined.
"Well I am not someone that you can stay mad at." Alice responded with a giggle. "I'm a really loveable person. So do you wanna go to a movie with me?"
"Sure I guess." I remarked. This might be the point where some people ask 'what movie?' but since I've never been to a movie theatre I would see whatever she wanted to see. "Why are you so nice?"
"Would you prefer me to be mean?" She asked.
"Well that's how a lot of the girls in the shows I watched were." I explained as I began to walk towards the building, Alice was walking beside me. "I thought that was how people acted at high school."
"I think you've been watching too much television." Alice responded. "Though if I was a character, think of me as Haley from One Tree Hill."
"A pregnant teenager?" I responded. That what I best remembered her for.
"No, the nice girl." Alice responded. "So my class in the other direction and I'll see you in gym."
"Okay." I replied as she dashed off. I realized something. Apparently Alice was in gym class. How did I not notice her before?
I walked to gym class and we were playing some other sport that I've never heard of. According to the gym teacher guy, it was called soccer.
"So what's this soccer about?" I asked Alice.
"It's only the most popular sport in the world." Alice explained.
"Then how come I've never heard of it?" I grilled
"Well it's not very popular here." She further explained. "And by here, I mean in America. Anyway the object is to get the ball past the goalie and into the goal and you can't use your hands."
"So it's kind of hockey." I stated,
"Sort of, but there are no sticks, skates, or ice." Alice replied. "It's not that hard to understand."
So there were also people that tried to take the ball away from me, my instinct was to shock them but I knew that I wasn't supposed to do that. This is not being able to shock people whenever I want thing is kind of annoying.
Later Alice and I were getting changed, She looked a little uneasy like she did yesterday.
"So it seems that the boys at this school really like you." Alice commented. "Any of them really caught your radar?"
"What?" I asked. I didn't have any sort of radar. I knew the company used some sort of radar to find super people but I didn't have that.
"I mean do you like any of them back?" She clarified. I thought back to the guys that had shown blatant interest in me and none of them really seemed that interesting.
"No I don't really think so." I answered. "Why, do you like any of them?"
"No I'm more of the notion that a girl doesn't need a man to be happy." She responded. "I mean who's to say that my potential soul mate, whoever they may be, is not a girl. It's a distinct possibility."
"I guess that could be true." I remarked. "So can I sit with you at lunch?"
"No I don't know how my siblings would feel about that." She replied. "But I'll be sitting next to you in Biology."
So I decided that I would with the same people that I say with yesterday. I noticed that I think Jessica was looking at me funny.
"Yes?" I asked.
"I noticed that you seemed pretty chummy with Alice." She said as I tried to figure out what she meant by chummy. I've never heard anyone use that word before, not even on TV.
"And?" I replied.
"Well no one really talks to the Cullens." Mike replied.
"Why not?" I asked as I tilted my head.
"Because…uh…I don't know." Mike answered. Yeah this guy wasn't attractive at all.
"Well we're friends so I guess that proves what you just said wrong." I pointed out. I reached my hand under the table and sent a small shock towards Mike's leg. It wasn't enough to hurt him but it was enough to make him jump.
"Ah what was that?" He asked.
"What was what?" I questioned innocently. I added in a cute smile for good measure.
"It felt my something just shocked me." He explained. The rest of the group shook their heads. That would be a mission accomplished.
I walked to biology by myself because as tempting as it was to shock Mike again, I didn't want to be around him. I remembered how to get there. I was really glad that I got to sit by Alice.
"So what are we doing today?" I asked the pixie. Well she didn't really have a pixie cut but her hair was short.
"We are studying mitosis." Alice explained. I stared at her. "It's the process of cell division."
"What exactly is the point of that?" I questioned. "What's the point of learning about cells at all?"
"It's mostly just something that Biology teachers teach in order to say that they taught." Alice responded. "I agree it isn't very useful. But we get to use microscopes. Those can be cool sometimes."
"Ooh how does it work?" I asked, fascinated in the machine that was on the table in front of us.
So it was a little cool seeing what things look like under the thingy. It apparently let you really small things but why did they have to be lazy cells.
"So why are the cells so lazy?" I asked.
"Because most of them aren't even going through mitosis most of the time." Alice answered.
"Then why are we looking at them?" I replied.
"I don't know but teachers like to use onions to demonstrate this." She said. "So have you decided what movie you want to see?"
"No I don't know what anything is about so I think that it would be a good idea by you to choose." I said "I imagine you must have something that you have been wanting to see."
"Well there are a few movies that I want to see." She declared. "I'll make sure to tell my mom that I won't be home for dinner. I can eat later."
"Yeah that would be really rude of you to leave me again." I added. "I would not be very likely to give you another chance if you did that."
The subtext of that was 'I am going to definitely shock you hard if you do that again.'
"I promise I won't abandon you like that again." Alice said. "But I won't be available to do things all of the time."
"Do you have one of those part time jobs that I keep hearing about?" I questioned.
"Sort of." She answered. "I volunteer at the hospital where my dad works."
"What's volunteering?" I asked
"It's working without getting paid." She replied.
"Oh I've done some of that too then." I told her. I obviously wasn't going to tell what it was and it was kind of forced, but I was definitely not getting paid. "Don't ask what it was."
"You know maybe if you're interested, I can talk to my dad about letting you stop by." Alice suggested. "That is if you don't have a problem with blood."
"I don't know and it doesn't really have anything to do with the blood." I replied as the final bell rang.
"So I'm gonna go home for a little bit and I'll pick you up at your house." Alice told me. "It's the least that I could do considering that had to drive me around yesterday."
"Technically I only drove there." I replied as we exited to the parking lot.
So it looks like Elle and Alice have a date. Well sort of. Mike continues to be a punching bag. And Eric...he gets a pen. And then there's the fact that Elle can't stay mad at Alice. Who can stay mad at Alice. please review.
