In Six Months I Lost My Mind But Found My Heart

Chapter Eight: Drama Queen

5th February

4 Months 3 Weeks & 6 Days Left

Alice's POV

I could tell that today was going to be a struggle. Edward and Bella weren't speaking to each other, what else is new? Edward also spent far too long in the shower this morning making us late. We all entered the English classroom and the teacher decided that if we couldn't be punctual to her lesson then we could be punctual to the detention we were given for that afternoon.

Bella and I scowled at him as we sat down. I needed them to start speaking to placed myself on the end so that they had to talk to one another. Edward knew what I was doing and glared to his heart's content at me. I was just trying to form some kind of bond between the two of them. They're both in denial. They should both trust me when I say they will get together. It's inevitable.

All was well until we were asked to work in groups with who we were sitting with. The minute we were given the work they both started arguing over what to do. I sat there watching the two of them with annoyance. This is not how it is meant to happen.

After some harsh words on both sides they sulked. I wanted to take a photo of how cute it looked with both their backs turned to each other, pouting and scowling. Picture perfect moment. So basically we didn't get the work done as neither would look nor talk to each other so I was the middle man.

These two are so immature.

But it wasn't all sour between them. When Bella was being grilled by the teacher about the work we never did Edward was writing the answers done for her to see, so she wouldn't get in more trouble. Then after the teacher found another prey Edward scrawled, in his neatest writing, a note across the page.

Sorry for being an idiot.

Friends?

I miss talking/arguing with you already.

Bella read it then laughed and turned to him smiling. He grinned back at her when she apologised too. I rolled my eyes at how ridiculous they were being. One minute they fight then the next they make up.

"What are you rolling your eyes at?" Edward asked raising an eyebrow.

"You two." They both looked at me like I had gone mad.

"What about us?" Bella asked turning in her chair to face me.

"You guys go hot and cold all the time. Friends, not friends, friends, not friends, frie-"

"We get the idea Alice." Edward said cutting me off.

"You two should just stay friends and stop with all the hassle of making up."

"Thank you for your opinion, I'll take that into consideration." His voice was dry when he said it. I was under the impression he didn't want me to expand on my views about their friendship.

The teacher saved him an awkward conversation when she informed us what the homework was to be. We had to work in partners of our choice, Bella and I paired up, and work on another one of her sheets.

The bell rang shortly after so we split off to our next lesson. We all met up again at lunch but Edward still wasn't going to eat the school food. He claimed it was life threatening. Bella and I shook our heads as we sat down and then were quickly joined by Mike, Jacob, Angela, Ben, Lauren and Jessica.

It suddenly became crowded.

Lunch became the best time for me to observe the two of them. After what happened yesterday, them getting all jealous, I was curious to see was going to happen today. When Edward and Bella spoke to each other they were both smirking and smiling at one another, I know they're perfect for one another.

But when Jacob spoke to Bella, or even when Mike spoke to Bella (come on he's not even a threat) Edward would watch intensely and the demon would come back in his pitch black eyes. It's good that he's jealous but not to the point where he looks like he could commit murder. I don't want him turning into a monster.

The same thing happened with Bella aswell when Edward was speaking; well really he was flirting, with Lauren and Jessica. Bella looked angry and slightly hurt so she just turned back to the guys that were paying her attention and encouraged their affections, which got Edward more annoyed.

It was actually quite funny to watch but I was in constant fear one of them would dive over the table and deck someone. If Edward's case it would be Mike or Jacob and in Bella's case it would be Lauren or Jessica- probably Lauren if I was to chose she really hates that girl.

Mike and Jacob started up a heated debate about something, leaving Bella sitting there playing with the contents of her tray. I leant over and very quietly whispered to her.

"You like him." It was a statement. Every few seconds she would glance at Edward, it was now obvious how she felt.

"Who?" She as trying to play innocent but there was an edge to her that told she knew who I was referring to.

"Santa Claus, who do you think?" I said sarcastically sending my gaze over to Edward so she couldn't be mistaken about who I meant. The blush on her face confirmed that she did in fact like him.

Perfect. We're now half way there. I just have to get my idiotic brother to admit the same then I can set my final plan in motion.

"How did you know?" Bella asked quietly, not wanting to draw attention to what we were talking about.

"Yesterday when you stormed off, you stormed off like a jealous girlfriend. Then just now, the more he talks to those two the more you look angry at him. If I was to sum you up in one word it would be jealous." She smirked bitterly.

"Am I that pathetic?"

"Nope, not at all. I don't see the appeal of Edward but then again he is my brother and that would be kinda sick to think of him that way-"

"I get you." She said cutting me off, clearly as disturbed as I was by that thought. Yuck!

"Well yeah, but he does have his charm, looks- apparently-, and I've heard that he can be sweet when he wants to so I can completely understand why you like him." She nodded then bit her lip.

"Do you think he knows?" Bella asked nervously. I laughed and shook my head.

"Are you kidding? This is Edward we're talking about; he's a fool and an idiot when it comes to these things. It would take him centuries to work this out."

"Although if it's any consolation, he looks as jealous as you when you talk to Jacob or Mike." I winked at her and stood up to put my tray away. She followed but didn't say anything.

Edward cut off his conversation with Lauren and Jessica when he saw us leaving. Quickly he walked over to catch up with us.

"Why did you leave in such a hurry?" He asked, as though he wasn't happy to break away from their painful company.

"Bored, and I was finished. Why did you want to stay?" He shook his head violently and grimaced.

"No thanks. I can only take so many sexual innuendos in one day; I think I've reached my limit for now." He smirked as we walked away from the lunch hall, only to hear someone running behind us.

"Eddie!" Lauren called as we walked towards the other building where our next class was.

"Oh god, save me."He muttered under his breath, I snickered and watched him grimace when she ran up to us.

"Edward I was wondering if I could be your partner for English? Sorry I forgot to ask earlier, you had me dazzled and I couldn't think straight." Lauren asked, petting my brother's arm. I felt like growling protectively at her, she should take her skanky paws off my brother.

"What's your excuse when he's not around?" I asked, she glared at me but returned to bat her eyelashes at Edward.

"I guess I could be your partner." He nodded and Lauren leant closer to him.

"You're the best Eddie!" With that she leant over and kissed him, full tongue action too. I was slightly grossed out considering this is my brother she sucking face with. Though I was glad to see he was not kissing her back. "See you around." Lauren pulled back and winked then walked away leaving Edward just standing there.

"I feel faint, do I look faint?" He asked exceedingly anxious. Here it comes, the drama queen of the family. "I need bleach or disinfectant, maybe some antiseptic lotion. No that might be too thick; I could dilute it with water. Yes there's an idea! Alice I need the lotion now!" I rolled my eyes and turned to him.

"What are you going to do with the lotion?"

"Drink it of course. That germ carrier aka Lauren just shoved her gross saliva covered tongue down my throat, who knows what ghastly diseases I've contracted. I'm becoming light headed so I need this lotion fast Alice; the germs are already destroying my body."

"Stop being an idiot." I told him as I sat down on the wall a few feet from him. Edward coughed slightly then his eyes grew huge.

"Oh my god I feel a cough coming on. A cough! Alice I have a cough!" How am I related to this lunatic? I stood up and slapped him across the face, hopefully knocking some sense into him.

"Did you just hit me?" He asked looking completely astounded.

"Oh my god." I cried as I put my face in my hands.

"So here I am, your loving brother and you go and hit me on my death bed. Some sister you are!" He proclaimed as I collapsed against Bella who was laughing at our antics.

"That's it, if neither of you will help me I'll have to take matters into my own hands." He rooted around his bag and pulled out a small flask.

"What's that?" Bella asked admiring the engraved silver liquor flask that Edward was opening.

"Alcohol. It can kill germs so hopefully it will kill the ones I just received by trading saliva with that virus magnet."

He pulled the top off and poured half of it in his mouth. Then he did what you normally do with mouthwash and rinsed out his mouth, gurgled the alcohol then spat in a bush a few feet away. Edward then drank the rest and returned the flask to his bag.

"What alcohol was in there Edward?" I asked suspiciously, my brother can't exactly hold his liquor. Light-weight!

"That was a flask of Dalmore 50 year old Decanter- single highland scotch malt whisky. If that can't cure me then I don't know what can." I stood there gaping at him.

"Edward that's a £5000 a bottle whisky and it's 52 percent pure alcohol! Are you trying to get drunk?!" I screeched.

"Of course not Alice. Don't be silly." He tried to sit down on the wall but missed and went straight over it, landing with a thump in the bush on the other side. Bella and I raced to see if he was alright but he was giggling his arse off.

Today is going to be very long.
