50 Things To Do When You're Bored

Chapter 36: Quotes

A.N: Sorry for such a long update! My computer has some type of virus and it won't let me go on the internet. So I'm updating on my dad's work laptop. But I didn't think that I would be able to update this week anyways because everything has been so hectic- My Band concert was this week.

Bella

"I feel like quoting people today," Emmett stated, throwing the football on the ground. Jasper, Emmett and Edward had started to play catch but I guess that didn't keep them from boredom long enough.

"To be, or not to be!" Emmett quoted.

Alice looked up at him and smiled. "That's actually a pretty good idea. How about we just go around in a circle? Emmett already went, then I could go, then Bella, then Edward, then Jazz, then Rose."

"Sure, why not?" I replied. "Everyone else in?"

A chorus of 'yeah' and 'sure' came back at me. "Alright Alice, I guess it's you're turn to go."

We all sat in a circle in the Cullen's backyard. We all turned to look at Alice while she searched the quotes in her mind. "Seven and a half hours to save the world. Isn't their some written rule that says we get at least twenty-four?"

I laughed. That quote was pretty good, but I wasn't so sure where it was from. It was my turn and I had to beat hers- or at least have a quote that could match up to it. "Today was a grey day. There was greyness everywhere."

Jasper stared at me in confusion. "Where is that quote from?"

"I really don't know," I confessed, my face turning a shade of pink. "I guess I just kinda know it from somewhere."

"Well," Emmett added, chuckling. "That is some quote. Grey. Nice."

"Yep. Edward, I guess you can go now."

Edward cleared his throat and quoted some one very famous. "At the center of non-violence stands the principle of love." He smiled, and then ran his fingers through my hair. At the same time, Rose and Em shared a kiss while Alice and Jazz looked into each other's eyes.

"Huh," Jasper said, raising his eyebrow. We all turned to look at him. "I guess I'm going to have to beat Edward's cute quote. Keep away from people who to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that way, too, can become great."

I didn't recognize that quote. But I was pretty sure I wouldn't recognize a few of them. They had been alive so much longer than I have. I didn't realize it before, but that quote was really inspiring.

I wonder if that quote had ever inspired Jasper in a time of need.

Rose thought for a moment, and then laughed out loud. "I say this because I care about you: Get some help!"

"Hah!" I started to giggle along with everyone else. I was picturing her saying that to Emmett after he did something, well, Emmett-y. Hah! The room was filled with chorus of laughter.

"Awesome quote," Alice commented through her giggles. "That is definitely one I will use often."

"I can see someone saying it in a conversation with this quote," Emmett exclaimed. "I don't go looking for trouble. Trouble usually finds me." He continued to chuckle and smirked.

"Yep," Edward agreed. "Trouble always finds you somehow! Even when everything is silent and perfect, you always end up finding something all of us frown upon."

"He's just being him," I replied, nodding in agreement. "It's not like he can help it. It's just the way he is."

Emmett's mouth dropped and his eyes glistened with amazement. "Finally!" His normal booming voice was even louder, and it shocked me. "Somebody see's it my way! It's just the way I am."

He was about to get up, arms opened wide, towards me. But I held my hand out. "No thanks. I care not to be crushed right now, and I think that it is Alice's turn to quote someone or something."

Alice smiled. "I believe it is my turn, so Emmett, you can go and hug Bells later. Let us quote some more first. "Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird."

I searched my memory, trying to connect it with something familiar. Then it hit me. I had read that book before, and it was pretty good. The ending was the best though. "Oh, I know that quote!"

"You read that book!?" Alice questioned. "At least I'm not the only one."

"Yeah." I smiled, but it dimmed after I realized I had to think of another quote to say. Oh they'll get a kick out of this one! "I look like prep school Barbie. Actually, you look like prep school Barbie. I'm just Barbie's friend."

Technically, my quote could be true. Compared to Alice or Rose, I was the plain human. They were the pale, in humanly beautiful ones. If they told me I looked pretty for a special occasion, they just looked ten thousand times prettier than I did. So in other words, looks like I am Barbie's friend too.

Well, I guess I could think of myself as the human friend too. Yeah, that works.

As I snapped out of my thoughts, I heard the howls of laughter from everyone. Emmett was trying to say something, but it came out as mumbles against his guffawing. I just rolled my eyes at him, but giggled along.

I hope that that quote didn't give Alice or Rose any ideas. I did not feel like being dressed up today. Maybe if we were going some where nice, but not when we're just staying home.

"Okay, Eddie it's you're turn," Emmett stated, his smile growing into a smirk.

"Don't call me Eddie," Edward replied, a tad bit annoyed. He never did like that name, but I could tell why he didn't. Jasper and Emmett, but mostly Emmett, called him that name to make fun of him.

Emmett just chuckled and rolled his eyes. "I generally like people who are a bit crazy but yeah, that's pretty much my only prerequisite."

The whole room was silent after Edward's quote. I turned my head to look at my friends. Emmett grinned, Rose shook her head in disbelief, Jasper just laughed, Alice raised her eyebrow and Edward just stared back at his siblings.

"That quote," Alice stated, giggling. "Wasn't the guy who said that talking about the girls he usually dates?" Everyone turned to stare at me. I was in the spotlight.

I could feel my face heating up, and I was pretty sure I was redder than a tomato. Leave it to me to be embarrassed by anything.

Wait.

If the quote he said was about his girlfriends, wasn't mean the quote was something about me? So he was talking about me. Nice, so he's calling me crazy. I guess I couldn't really blame him.

"Are you implying something?!"
