Chapter 13: Whatever happened to Alice?

Practice started that day for me, and boy, was it not what I was expecting!

I got out there early and talked to the coach. He said I was playing tackle. It was a defensive position and since I was so big (I looked at my muscles happily at that) I would be a good person for that.

I was only replacing the first string guy, Tito. He had broken his leg in a game. I smiled and said nothing like that would happen to me. Which, of course, it wouldn't.

So, I was suiting up for practice. The coach had given me a loner uniform until mine came in. Joe came up and said to me, "Yo, Emmett! What's popping? The guys are all excited to have you on the team!"

I looked behind him where the rest of the guys were assembled. They didn't look excited.

"Cool," I said. "So, what do I do?"

Joe stopped smiling at that. "Haven't you ever played football?"

"Nah, I prefer baseball. Much more entertaining."

I could tell he wasn't expecting that. Oh well, he was going to have to teach me how to play. I mean, I didn't think it'd be too hard. All I had to do was make sure no one got by me. That wasn't so hard!

So after Joe explained the stuff to me, we started practice. Basically all Joe said was don't let anyone touch me.

Okeydokeyartichokey!

I thought it was going to be easy, but apparently it was "let's all gang up on Emmett" day.

I'm serious! It was like, look, Emmett! Get him! I had no idea football was so hard! But now I know what to expect. I just feel bad for the poor guys who tried to get me at the end. They'll be hurting for days and Jimmy is in the hospital for broken everything!

Well, that's what you get when you mess with the man.

The man being me, Emmett.

Alice's POV

My practice started today and I was pumped! I was just like a real cheerleader, spirit and all!

Oh, let me explain. I'm not an actual cheerleader. I'm the manager. As in, I hold their stuff, carry their stuff, and I don't even get a uniform. I mean, what a waste! It's like they were trying to annoy me!

Seriously, why waste a perfectly good person, well, vampire, and not let her cheer? I wanted to cheer!!!!!!!!

So, I went to the team room and watched as all those girls got to put on those cute little uniforms when I had a great idea! Ding! Went my head!

My idea was this: make a girl fall, break something, and then convince the coach to let me on the team! I know, it's mean, but hey! These girls were mean! I wanted to be on the team and I was going to! No matter what it took.

Being superfast, I was sure I would be able to push the pyramid enough to make a girl fall, without anyone noticing I had moved.

Oh! I hope my plan works!

Go team! Whoo!

Gawd! That chapter sucked. Sorry, but now you all know why Alice is all depressed! Yay! Ok, review and you get to find out what happens next faster!
