Character POV:- Bella Swan

"Will anyone ever explain this to me?" I moaned as Alice handed a water-gun to Edward. He told me to hold it, and I took it.
"Patience, Bella," Alice said calmly. "You'll see in no time."
"I hope this doesn't have anything to do with Mike Newton," I said, a bit suspicious.
Beside me, Edward looked slightly nervous. Alice glanced at him. Oho.
"It does have to do with Mike, doesn't it?" I said, horrified. That would explain why Edward was often disappearing to the Cullen house.
To plan.
"Doesn't she ever have a sense of humor?" Alice asked Edward, a look of hopelessness on her face.
I scowled at her. "I'm objecting to this because-"
Alice cut me off. "Oh, yes, I know why. But after all this mess with Victoria, the Volturi and everything that happened the last six months, we thought that we should have some fun." Her amber eyes looked at me, daring me to object again.
Stupid psychic pixie fashion-loving girl vampire. Hmph.
"What's my role in this?" I asked cautiously.
"Patience, Bella," Alice sang.
"Ple-ee-ase..." I begged Edward.
Alice hit him on the head from her seat behind me. "Don't you dare, Edward Anthony Cullen!"
Edward sighed, and looked at me apologically. I humphed and turned to the window.
I knew it would be useless to object against Alice Cullen, so I subsided into silence, all the while listening to Alice prattle on and on about whatever this prank was about.
Character POV:- Alice Cullen
Time:- Morning
Setting:- Forks High School parking lot
We got out of Edward's Volvo. I heard Jessica Stanley gossiping to that self-centered fake Lauren Mallory.
I noticed Bella still had the water-gun in her hand. Mine was safely hidden in my bag. I hurried over to Bella as fast as I could at human pace.
"Bella!" I hissed her ear. "Hide the water-gun!"
Bella blinked as if she had just remember it was there, and quickly handed Edward the gun back.
"It's time," I told Edward. He nodded, and put his arm around Bella. They looked so cute, I wanted to take a picture and frame it before hanging it in the Cullen living room. But Bella'd probably protest against it.
I was about to walk forward with lover-boy and his girlfriend, when I got a vision.
Mike Newton sitting in the class...Edward and Bella snickering among themselves -it was obvious that they were enjoying themselves...
.I smiled to myself, and skipped forward. This was going to be a really lovely day.
Character POV: Edward Cullen
Time: Sometime later
Setting: Classroom
I sat beside Bella, in our usual seat. I glanced at Bella, and stopped. She was so beautiful, that it rivaled that of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of beauty.
I couldn't tear my eyes off her. She turned her eyes to me and when she caught me staring at her, she blushed the most beautiful crimson. I was stunned.
EDDWAAAAAARD!
The mental voice of a very annoying pixie vampire pulled me out of my worship of Bella. Edward, stop drooling over Bella, and get to work!
Amazing how she can boss us around. I'm sure if it was 1863 and the Civil War was still going on, Jasper wouldn't hesitate to make Alice his commander.
EDWARD! Alice's angry voice sounded again in my head. I swear if you don't start NOW, I'll tell Bella about...!
She left the sentence incomplete, but I knew what she meant. I cringed visibly. Alice must've seen my reaction for her angry yells turned into guilty apologizations.
I sighed. I took out my gun surreptitiously. That vile Newton was sitting in front of us, so it was a piece of cake.
Alice did the countdown in her head. Three. Two. One. Now!
Mr. O'Leary, the teacher called out Mike for something.
Newton got up, and I quickly aimed the water-gun at his head, and pressed. The water sailed in a perfect arc and hit Newton's over-gelled head.
His hand reached up and touched the spot where the water dripped on his head. It was soaking wet.
Huh? How'd my head get so wet? I don't remember taking a shower now...His thoughts were confused and unsuspecting.
He quickly rubbed off the water on his head. I quickly aimed the water-gun at his neck, and pressed.
Eurgh...what the hell is that? I hope Tyler didn't chuck another water-ball at me...nah, he may be a dunce, but he wouldn't stupid enough to try it out in class... Newton's thoughts were full of surprise.
Mr. O'Leary was asking Newton about some question that Newton got wrong.
"...and I want you to submit the correction before lunchtime," O'Leary was saying to Newton.
Newton wasn't paying attention, since he was still pondering over the wetness at the back of his head. Hey...did O'Leary say something? I think it was about the correction...
"Um...you or me should submit the correction?" Newton asked nervously. His pen was pointed to the teacher in his state of confusion.
And at that moment, I aimed the water-gun at O'Leary's mouth, not far from where Newton's chewed-up pen was pointing at.
Bella, Alice and I were sitting near the front, so the water had no problem reaching its target.
O'Leary swallowed in surprise. Did something enter my mouth? I hope it wasn't a bug again, it was hard enough last time that happened...
"I meant-" O'Leary said, just when I targetted his eyes with the water-gun.
The water hit his eyes squarely, and the teacher jerked back in surprise.
"!" His loud, annoyed exclaimation of surprise was enough to startle the entire class.
"Um...what?" Newton stammered.
I shot a quick look at Bella, just to make sure. She was frowning in confusion.
"What's happening?" She mouthed to me.
I opened my mouth to say, but Alice hurled a thought at me.
Not now!
I sighed, and closed my mouth.
"Later, I promise," I mouthed back.
Bella's eyes fell on the water-gun hidden under my desk, and her eyes grew the size of saucers.
She heaved an annoyed sigh, and shook her head at Alice.
Meanwhile, Newton was currently wondering what had made O'Leary so mad.
O'Leary decided to forget about the weird water incident. I shot another line of water at him, this time at his huge nose.
Water squirted over his nose, and O'Leary sneezed.
Newton's pen was still pointed at O'Leary, so the angry teacher pounced on it. Literally.
I have had enough! First my mouth, then my eyes, then my nose! Aaargh!
O'Leary then started examining the grubby pen he had snatched from Newton's hand over and over again.
This pen must be some sort of device with a water storage...I know it's there...it should be there...Where can the water be stored! I can't find it...bad enough when Newton did those stupid stunts last year...farting in class, and an exceptionally loud one! Now, where can the water be kept? Perhaps the refilll...possible...the stunts the children do these days! Punks, the whole lot of 'em...lot better children in my days...atleast I didn't do stupid stunts like taking bath in mango juice in the cafeteria...
I had to stifle a snicker. Boy, Emmett would certainly have fun with O'Leary.
Bella poked my arm.
"What on Earth is happening!" She hissed. "First you, then Alice!"
I looked behind at Alice. She was clutching her stomach, and giggling madly to herself. She was already getting odd looks from the other children. Unfortunately, I couldn't escape the irritating thoughts.
That girl, Alicia or whatever her name is, she sure is a nut!
Ugh...why did the Cullens' have to come here! We were happier without them before! Parading around like kings and queens...Pah!
What the hell does Alice see in that bone-head Jasper Hale anyway? I'm better for her!
I shut the obnoxious thoughts away, and focused on the teacher and Newton.
Character POV: Bella Swan
Time: Continuing off from where Edward's POV stopped.
Setting: Classroom
It was chaos around me. Technically.
The students were gossiping among themselves. Edward was paying attention to Mr. O'Leary and Mike's thoughts. Alice was laughing to herself. If it were possible, she would be crying now with mirth.
Mr. O'Leary was yelling at Mike about the pen.
Honestly, I had no idea what the problem was about a pen. It was just a pen, for Pete's sake!
Just then, I remembered what I had seen on Edward's lap.
A water-gun.
Oh! I pieced everything together.
Alice babbling about class in the Volvo. Water-guns in both of their bags. Edward, when he thought I wasn't looking, targeting Mr. O'Leary and Mike with the water gun.
Oh. Oh.
I ripped out a piece of paper and furiously scribbled on it.
[Bold - Bella; Italic - Edward; Bold Italic -Alice]
You're involved in this, aren't you?
Sorry, love. But Alice made me do it.
Hey, I remember VERY well that you LIKED the idea! Don't lie, or you'll regret it!
Dangerous, isn't she?
Whatever. But how come you didn't tell me?
We wanted it to be a surprise for you. Like a present.
Do I need to remind you that I hate presents?
Oh, of course. It's a present that money wasn't spent on, so you can't pull the money card. Ta-da!
What is happening now?
Well, Mr. O'Leary-
Guys, in one second Mr. O'Leary will find out that you've been passing notes in class. So unless you want your secret notes being read out aloud in class, you can put it away. Now. Oh, and there will be a little show involving Jessica now!
I crumpled the paper and shoved it in my jeans pocket.
Mr. O'Leary had stopped yelling at Mike about throwing water at him. He was now pacing the class, breathing heavily like a rhinoceros. And then he stopped at Jessica's desk, and he snatched something from between Jessica's hands. Looks like I wasn't the only one passing notes in class. Hm.
"Miss Stanley, what is the meaning of this?" He sounded mad.
Jessica was a seat away from me, so I could see she was shaking. She whispered something to him.
"Would you please repeat that?" Mr. O'Leary asked coldly.
"Uh...uh...um,I-I was t-telling Lauren about ..." Jessica's voice lowered dramatically, so I couldn't hear what she said next.
"What's she saying?" I whispered to Edward. He cringed.
"You don't want to know," he whispered back.
I frowned. "That bad?"
"You have no idea," he muttered to me.
"Oh."
Mr. O'Leary watched Jessica for a moment.
"Bella, don't listen," Edward whispered to me, but it was too late.
"Since Miss Stanley cannot say it, I will however say it," Mr. O'Leary announced and florished open the piece of paper. He then began to read.
"Lauren, don't you think Edward is sooo hawt?
Yes, I do know that he is. But how could he fall for that pig Bella? She's a total fail.
We can still win him over. This time, no mistakes.
How about going over to the Cullen house? That way we could show him.
Oh, and we could embarrass Bella! That'd show her alright for taking my Edward away.
You mean, mine?
No, Edward is mine. Besides, you can have either Jasper or Emmett.
But they're dating Alice and Rosalie.
They won't. Not after we're done with them..."
I shrank into my seat. Was it possible Lauren and Jessica could be so ...cruel? I didn't want to hear anymore.
Behind me, I heard Alice give out a low angry hiss. Either because Lauren had told Jessica to pick Jasper or Emmett, or because their hurtful words had hurt me. I didn't know. I didn't care.
I'd thought that Lauren and Jessica had decided to back off, maybe Edward and I would actually have some peace. I guess I was wrong.
Edward's hand moved to the hold my hand.
"Don't believe the lies," Edward whispered. "I still love you."
"I know," I whispered back.
Character POV: Alice Cullen
Time: After the class, in afternoon [lunch-time]
Setting: Cafeteria
I sat at my seat, fuming silently. I couldn't believe this. How dare that girl Jessica mess with my visions! Thanks to her, my entire day was ruined. If she hadn't made that super-quick decision to write to that stupid girl Lauren, we wouldn't be sitting at this table looking like miserable people.
Bella was unhappy now, but she put up a strong front. I didn't need Jazz to know that she was feeling unwanted again. Jeez, when would she ever see that Edward was perfect for her and she was perfect for him? She should have seen him in Rio! Without her, he was practically dead. And vice versa.
"So what should we do?" Bella asked.
Edward put his hand on Bella's hand. "Love, you don't have to-"
"Hold up!" I held up my hand. An onslaw of visions were shoving themselves at me. All of them contained several posibilities. And the one final vision presented it to me.
It was crystal clear, so it was set in the future, no doubt.
"Well, I'm certainly not backing down," I declared. "I say we get them back!"
"Me too," Edward said.
Bella hesitated. "I'm in."
I clapped my hands. "Great!"
I showed Edward my visions, and he smiled. Bella waited patiently, till both of us were finished.
"Bella, we're gonna prank Lauren and Jessica!" I squealed excitedly.
Hey, guys! I know that I haven't updated early, it's only because of my stressful schedule! Oh, and this chapter was really hard to work with too.
