Ok, here's my next chapter!

Chapter 8: Preps

Emmett's POV

After the confrontation by Maddy and her friends, I was left confuzzled. Alice taught me that word.

But Alice also didn't give me time to get un-confuzzled. She grabbed my arm as soon as they were gone and said, "Come on, Emmett. You need to make friends with the football team now!"

I gulped. "Football team?"

"Yeah, you're gonna try out for that, and I'm trying out for cheerleading! That way, I can support you!"

I didn't want to play football, and I told her that.

"Too bad. If you want to be popular, then you have to play a sport. And you are more than strong enough to be a lineman."

Linemen? What was that? "What's a lineman?"

"I have no idea, but it's a position in football. Hey, girls!" We had arrived at the cheerleaders' table. The footballers table was right next to it. In fact, it looked like a lot of the cheerleaders were at the football table, and vice versa.

They all looked up at us with distain in their eyes. "Who are you?" the head cheerleader, Noelle asked.

"Yeah, who are you," the guy she was sitting on, Joe Cosgrove, pointed toward me.

"Well, I'm Alice, and this is my brother, Emmett. He was wondering if he could do a late tryout for football. And I wanted to know when cheer tryouts are!" Alice was like cheer spirit bottled up, and the top had just exploded.

"Well, I don't know about football, but the cheer tryouts for juniors are tomorrow, after school. But you probably don't care. You wouldn't make it anyway," Noelle checked out Alice from head to toe. I guess she didn't pass.

"Oh? Really? Well, no harm in coming anyway, right?" Alice was unstoppable.

"Um, football tryouts were this summer," Joe said stupidly.

"No duh, Sherlock. Emmett wants to know if he could do a late tryout tonight." Whoa, Alice was tough, too!

Joe just stared at her. For a captain, he wasn't very bright. "Um, I guess so. Coach might not let him, though."

"I'll stop by and check after school," I finally spoke up.

They all turned toward my voice, like lions smelling blood, or vampires.

"Uh, cool, I guess," Joe turned his attention back to Noelle, who was by no means as pretty as Rosalie. She wasn't even as pretty as, well, anyone. She was definitely not remarkable in any way.

"So, I'll see you all tomorrow, girls!" Alice chirped.

"Yeah, be there, don't be late," one of the other girls, I think her name was Brianna, snapped.

"I won't!"

We walked back to our table, and Alice told me, "I'm going to make it. I already saw it. They have no idea what's coming."

"Will I make the football team?"

She got a glassy look in her eye as she check. "So far, so good. Just, don't bring pie with you onto the field."

I shot her a confused look.

"You'll see. Cuz you're not going to listen to me anyway, am I right?"

"Yeah, you are."

"Stupid dumbbutt," she murmured as we reached the safety of our own table.

Yay! Alice is going to be a cheerleader! Whee! But what's with the pie, you ask? Only I know, and I'm not telling! Ha ha ha!

Ok, y'all! Review please! And take the poll! I really need your help on this one!
