Chapter 11
"Okay, just before we start, how old are you actually Emmett?"
"Ummm, Joe, how old am I?"
"He's twenty" Joe responded in an entirely bored voice, like he'd reminded Emmett of his age too many times to count.
"So what exactly are you doing here?"
"I'm going to be a teacher!"
"Oh dear god. Okay, so why are you in the students building?"
"I was walking Bella back and we were scaring Joe"
"Okay then"
"Shall we get started then?" Emmett said, starting to bounce up and down slightly in what was presumably excitement.
"Yeah, I'll go first!" Abi said, looking evilly at me. "Bella, truth or dare?"
"Dare" I replied, I'm not going to come across as a wuss this early in the game, I just hope I'm not going to regret it. Abi motioned Emmett to come over to her and they started whispering conspiringly. Yeah, I think I might regret this.
Joe stood up and walked over to listen to them and soon started talking too, I caught occasional words like 'wok' and 'sausages' but then decided that I really don't want to know what they are planning. Eventually the three of them turned around with identical evil grins and Abi said,
"We've come up with your da-!"
"Prank call!" Emmett shouted interrupting her and she growled at him.
"Is that it?"
"Oh, you'll regret taking this so lightly when we get further in to this game" I gulped and their evil grins returned. "Okay, so as you know, you have to prank call someone. The number is on my phone, speed dial on number 4. You have to put this end on speakerphone and you have to read exactly what we write down to the person on the phone." I gulped again, this sounds a little worrying. I watched as Emmett started writing something down on a large sheet of paper and Abi grabbed her phone out from a pocket somewhere on her overalls. I listened to the dialling tone and the first sheet of paper appeared in front of me with the phone.
"Hello?" The voice on the phone said
"Hallo, Ich bin Klaus, möchtest du eine dich Esel?" I asked in what was presumably German
"I'm sorry, I don't speak German"
"Ah, ja, ja, okay, vous comme un âne gros ?" I grimaced at the paper that Emmett had put in front of me but still had no idea what the words meant.
"Umm, do you speak English" The voice said, it was fairly obviously male but I didn't really recognize the voice.
"Ummm, du hat keine hose-schlange"
"I'm sorry?"
"I have fallen in love with your Chanel high heels in baby pink, I demand you let me see them at once or I shall see you in court for custody battles!" I glared daggers at the others while saying this; they just grinned. There were spluttering sounds on the other end of the line before the guy spoke in hushed tones,
"How do you know that I have pink high heels?" At this I nearly burst out laughing but saw that I had been given a final statement to read.
"I'm awfully sorry but I appear to have stolen them, have fun finding them now sucka!" I said and then put the phone down before starting to laugh hysterically, joining in with the laughter of the others. I recovered fairly quickly and glared at them all. "It's my turn; I pick Joe, truth or dare?" My evil grin filled my face and he gulped.
"Ummm, dare?" I started to rub my hands together in addition to smiling evilly but then my phone rang. I held up a finger to the others and flicked it open.
"Hey Bella, its Edward"
"Oh… hey… how did you get my number?"
"Alice took it from your phone when you were unpacking and she gave it to me so I could check you got back okay"
"Yep, I'm here okay; in fact I'm in Joe's room"
"Really?"
"Yes, we're playing truth and dare with Emmett and Joe's roommate"
"Oh dear, I'll come rescue you" I giggled in to the phone and I heard a few hurried footsteps before the phone was hung up. Dang, now I'm going to have to think quickly if I'm going to give Joe a good dare.
"I know! I've got it, when Edward gets here you have to declare your undying love to him, you must maintain this for the next twenty four hours" Emmett and Abi smiled in approval at me and Joe gave me an odd look
"Just out of interest, who is Edward and why is he coming here?" Abi asked.
"Oh, well he's my second cousin or something and I presume that he's coming to rescue Bella from playing truth and dare with Emmett"
"Oh, okay then"
"Umm, can I ask what I actually said to that person on the phone?"
"Sure, well, first you said 'hello my name is Klaus, would you like a fat donkey' then the same but in French followed telling him that he has no trouser snake in German and then you told him about these babies" Emmett replied, pulling a pair of pale pink high heels out from under a chair. I glared at him then started laughing uncontrollably.
"Umm, dude, how did you even have time to get those?" Joe asked.
"I got them on the way from the woods to here, I just ran the whole way, the guys two doors down had left their door unlocked and I just snuck in."
"I despair of you sometimes, I really do" Joe shook his head at Emmett which was replied with an evil laugh. Just as I recovered the door opened.
"Bella?"
"In here Edward" I called and saw Edward appear in the doorway, he smiled when he saw the four of us leaning around the table on which were the sheets of paper covered in Emmett's incredibly neat but very large writing.
"So, how's the game going?"
"Just great, hey Edward, did I ever tell you how much I love you?"
"Ummm, no"
"Well, I love you so much, like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, like Mr and Mrs Smith, like Katie and Peter Andre… like Shrek and Fiona!" Edward looked worriedly around the room before backing away slowly.
"Bella, do you want me to take you back to your room?"
"Sure" I said before skipping out of the room joining Edward's hastily retreating form.
"Did you let Joe at his drugs again?"
"Joe takes drugs?"
"I dunno, he might, it would at least explain his frequent lunatic outbursts" I laughed
"You know that you can't blame all craziness on drug use right?"
"Yeah yeah, it's just last time he started shouting 'butterflies' and pointing at my ear and that kind of sounded like drug use to me" I just continued laughing and in my lack of attention I tripped over thin air and landed on my ankle. Edward looked at me and picked me up from the floor and walked the rest of the way with me in his arms
"You know that I can walk"
"It's more fun this way though and this way you can't fall over"
"Is there something about all of the guys in England that means that they like picking me up not letting me down at all?" Edward just laughed before dropping me to open my door. I winced as I put pressure on my ankle and knew it was sprained but not broken.
Edward opened the door and reached out towards the lights and turned them on. As the lights flickered on one by one around the room two figures were illuminated. One was about an average size and standing up and one appeared to be tall and statuesque.
"Tanya? Rosalie? What are both of you doing here? Isn't this Alice and Bella's room?"
"Yes" I couldn't quite work out what she was getting at, her tone sounded kind of patronizing.
"That doesn't answer my question Tanya" Edward sounded annoyed.
"We're here to make sure Bella got back okay because Jasper and Alice decided to go into town together." Rosalie spoke up, I was a little shocked, and I hadn't really thought that either of them liked me that much.
"Thanks guys, you didn't have to that though, you knew Emmett was with me"
"Exactly"
"Tanya, if you aren't going to say something worth saying would you please not say anything at all" Edward was starting to sound really annoyed now.
"Fine, well, if you are going to make me feel so unwelcome, I'm going to leave. Are you going to walk me to my room?" It sounded as though she was trying to make her voice sound seductive but I personally thought it sounded a little like she had a cold.
"No, I'm going to make sure Bella is alright, she fell down in the corridor and I want to check her ankle." He sounded almost professional as he said this.
"Right Mr. Doctor, we're going to leave you in peace. Come on Tanya, we ought to go" Rosalie stood up and headed for the door. For some reason I felt myself liking her a lot more.
"Night Edward" Tanya called in her 'cold' voice as she flounced out of the door, completely ignoring me.
Edward walked across the room and disappeared into the bathroom. He reappeared seconds later with a bandage and some plasters.
"How the hell did you know where those were?" I was a little shocked, this wasn't his room, and how did he know where everything was? I didn't even know where everything was!
"I've lived with Alice for 16 years; she always keeps medical supplies on the upper left hand shelf in the bathroom. It's kind of like OCD. She also always keeps her passport in the toaster so watch out for that one"
"Ah, thanks, I'll look out for that one, it's good to know"
"Okay, now sit down so I can look at your ankle"
"Come on Edward, I know that it's only sprained. I've had this happen like a million times" However, I sat down on the couch anyway.
"Fine, but I'm going to bandage it up anyways"
"God, you really do go into doctor mode don't you"
"Ha, yeah, it's a habit of mine; you'll learn to love me for it"
"I really doubt that you know" He sat on the floor, picked up the roll of bandages and started to wrap my ankle up. As he worked he talked.
"I'm sure you will. Anyway, do you want to watch a DVD or something?"
"Sure, I could live with that, do you know what Alice has?"
"Well, I know that she has 'Cheaper by the dozen', 'Legally Blonde', 'The little mermaid' and my personal favourite 'Shrek" I couldn't help but giggle at the choice of DVD's that he had presented me with. He had finally finished wrapping up my ankle and looked up at me. "Hey! It's not funny, Shrek's a good movie!" His expression was wounded and it made me laugh even harder. In between catching breaths and attempting to control the escaping giggles I managed to explain.
"I know, it's one of my favourite movies too, it's just the choice of movies that you knew she had. It is a little funny"
"Whatever" He flicked his hair and placed a hand on his hip which made me burst out laughing yet again. He got up and opened the cupboard which the TV was sat on and pulled out the movie and put it in. He sat back on the couch and I relaxed into his side as the opening song started, I couldn't help but laugh again as we both started singing along. I don't think I've laughed this much in a very long time.
Okays, so it's not really a very well written truth and dare and if anyone wants to help me out and like rewrite it or something that would be good,
so, this is all kind of light and fluffy which I don't really like writing but it seemed necessary but yeah, things will get depressing later probably so no worries there ;)
nothing left to say but let me know what you think
