It has been FOREVER. I KNOW. I'M SORRY.

Alice POV

We walked around with too much complaining from the guys; and a bit from Bella. We've been in so many stores that I lost count. We already got candy, and then Emmett ate it all… Yes… 2 bags… And he's not sick… Crazy boy. So, we had to go get more. Then I remembered about the party I was planning so I had to get about 8 bags. I had Edward guard them with his life. We also got all of the decorations so; all that was left were costumes.

"I have an idea!" I screamed, causing people who were passing bay to look at me.

"Oh, God. This can't be good…" Jasper said with wide eyes.

I glared and playfully hit him in the chest. "Shut it, Whitlock."

Jasper straightened up and saluted me, which, in truth, was pretty cute. We locked eyes and we both grinned.

"Did we miss something?" Bella asked.

Jasper and I both looked over.

"Anyway…um… I forgot what I was gonna say… I forgot my plan… It's all Jasper's fault," I glared. Curse his dark blue eyes.

"Let's just go get the costumes," Rosalie said.

We all agreed and I walked backwards in the most gracefully way I could as we made our way to the costume store. I suddenly stopped when a vision hit me.

"Jazzy!"

I growled. I knew that voice anywhere. Maria the devil herself. I glanced over at Jasper and saw him tense up.

"Alice!"

Edward's voice made me snap out of it. I blinked and looked around.

"You spaces out again…" Emmett explained.

"Oh.. I did?" I asked, playing dumb.

Everyone nodded.

"Sorry…" I said, looking around and found exactly what I was looking for. Maria and her group of wanna bees, Jessica and Lauren. There was also a new face. Dark skinned, black hair, glasses…Angela from my History class. She looked as if she didn't want to be there or…with them.

"Jazzy!"

Glancing at Jasper, he did indeed tense up. Maria was running up, arms open wide for a hug. That's when I remembered that our dares were still on. I quickly whispered, "Jasper! Our dare!"

He wrapped his arm around my shoulders which oddly felt comfortable and… I kinda like it…

Anyway… Maria hesitated for a second, dropped her arms and glared at me. I kept my face emotionless as she walked over here.

"Well, Jazzy, I see you found a bitch to date," she said and Lauren and Jessica laughed.

I rolled my eyes and I saw Edward, Emmett, and even Jasper get a little defensive.

"Don't you dare call Alice a bitch again," Emmett growled. He stepped forward a bit, glaring, with fist clenched. And with that Maria slowly backed away then ran off with Jessica and Lauren following.

"Alice?" Angela asked.

"Yeah?"

"Can we talk?"

"Sure." I walked away from Jasper and felt a little cold scene his arm wasn't around me anymore.

"Be careful," Angela said.

"What?"

"Jasper will screw you over like he did every girl in school," Angela said, then walked off.

I stood there, confused. Shaking it off, I walked back over to my family and friends. We then went to pick out our outfits.

I got a sexy butterfly outfit, Bella got a sexy Harry Potter outfit, and Rosalie got a sexy Aphrodite's outfit. Edward was a vampire, Emmett was a Dallas Cowboy football player, and Jasper was a cowboy.

And I have to say… the costume looked REALLY good on him.

Sorry that nothing interesting happened…. School's been getting to me… If you want pics of the costumes tell me.
