Well I needed to edit this because I read back through this and some of it just doesn't suit their characters. Hope this is better :)

Chapter 5

"Alice can you come in here please me and your dad need to talk to you" My mum said in her soft tone but this was with a worried undertone.

I tried to be quite when I came in. Obviously not quiet enough. I was in deep shit with dad. Mum might be a bit easier. If I'm completely honest shes a bit of a pushover. She loves me too much and after her ex-husband she won't lay a finger or shout at anyone

"Whoa whats wrong mum?" I said as innocently as possible.

"Can you please tell us why you skipped school. They called me and your father saying you didn't turn up?" She said trying to hold back the tears

"I didn't feel too good mum. I knew you and dad were at work so I went to Jane and Aro's. They looked after me well. I just came home after I knew you would be home. Sorry I should of told you"

"Well at least we know you were safe. Oh and Ali you have to go and get changed."

"Mum. What for?"

I dread to think what she has planned now. When she plans stuff its usually at the wrong place and they get very drunk.

"I forgot to tell you. The Hales are coming over for dinner. Go have a shower and get changed. You have 2 hours. Behave."

"What... The... Hell?" I said as the anger built up inside.

"The Hales are our friends and you should get on well with their children. They're about your age you know. Both twins. A girl and a boy".

I nodded my head keeping my eyes fixed to the sparkles in the marble floor.

I stomped up to my room and threw my clothes onto the floor before getting into the shower. Ugh. I hated mum and dad being friends with EVERYONE! Why can't they hate people?

My worries usually wash away with the water in the shower but this problem will not go away in a flash.

I jumped out the shower with my hair dripping wet. I flew into my walk in wardrobe and looked at my best dinner clothes. I may be a geek but I know A LOT about fashion.

I finally decided on a green silk shirt and a white ruffled skirt. I paired it with a black waist belt and black ballerina shoes.

"Alice dear, our guests are here. Come down soon." Mum said in her 'innocent' tone. That kind of tone that all parents do when they're around other people.

I had to do my hair first and I took as long as possible doing it. I did short blasts with the hair dryer then decided to straighten it. My hair was worse than normal today.

"Its okay hair. I don't mind you going the opposite way than the way I want" I muttered to myself. I then heard my fathers muffled laugh.

"DAD BUGGER OFF"

The laughing stopped then, and I heard the stamping of his shoes down the hall.

I took one final look in the mirror and took as long as possible to get down the hall and the stairs...

Only to be met by Jaspers smiling face and Rosalie's scowl.
