One Night Standards

Superlatives and the Reasons Why

"Hey, Rem! Coming to the game?" Mike asks loudly, approaching me through the crowded, end of school, hallway. 

"Hey M! And yeah, I just have to go get Ada and then we'll be back for you're and Jaxon's game," I explain, us heading out the exit. 

"Awesome! I tried talking the others into coming but Ang and Eric have homework, Jess just hates sports, and Bella is going to Edwards," he explains, my heart tightening at the idea of Bella going to Eds. 

"Well, I'll have the best company there is," I state cockily, us stopping outside the gym, which is right between the schools. "Ada Mae."

"Remmie!" I hear my sister yell, her running from beside her teacher to me. 

"Oh Ade, where did you come from?" I question, glancing to Ms.Weathers. 

"The rest of the children had been picked up by their guardians, so I thought I'd save you part of your walk," She explains as Adalyn starts to climb poor Mike, who plays along happily. 

"Thank you, ma'am, we'll see you tomorrow," I thank her with a wave, her heading to her school as I pull Adalyn off of my blondest best friend. "Come on Ada Mae, you might hurt Mike and he's on Jax's team," I explain, walking into the gym. "We'll be cheering for you Mikey, go kick some Jaguar ass," I encourage, immediately turning to Adalyn. "You aren't allowed to say ass," I warn, Mike laughing as he kisses her forehead and leaves with a wave. 

"If that isn't little miss Adalyn Mae," a familiar voice calls out, making Ada begin to bounce. 

"Emmie! Rose!" My sister calls, running to Edward's siblings. 

"Hey sweetie," Rose greets, picking Ada up like she's weightless, "And hey Rem."

"Hey Rose, Em what's up?"

"Just came to watch the game," Emmett explains, the four of us entering the small gym. 

"How is it that Coach Clapp hasn't recruited you yet? He's he giving first dibs to Coach Kahn?" I question, laughing at my own joke. 

"Sadly, I have a condition so that I can't play football or basketball," Em says, and although it doesn't seem entirely true, I ignore it. 

"You good sir, are the reason the coaches of Forks cry themselves to sleep."

"She's right," Coach Clapp states suddenly, making me jump at his appearance as the boys team runs by, Mike, Ty, and Jax giving me high fives as they go. "But you're gonna give me a good player like your brother, right Tiny?" He asks Ada.

"She's leaning that way, Coach. I'll be sure to keep you in the know as she grows," I assure, him giving me a quick smile before walking off, already yelling at the boys. "So, how was your guys day? Good I hope?" I ask, the couple following me to our usual spot on the bleachers, Ada excitedly pulling Emmett's hand. 

"It was fine, just a normal day in high school," Rose answers, sighing quietly. 

"But your day sounded interesting, given the yelling during lunch," Emmett comments, and as soon as he does my heart rate increases, and I'm more than grateful that they can't hear it. 

"Oh, we were just talking about the end-of-year superlatives and why Bella doesn't like me," I explain, Rose raising a perfectly shaped brow at me, asking for more. "Bella isn't a huge fan of mine, as is obvious to everyone ever. I asked the crew why and their reason was the superlatives."

"What do those things have to do with it? Other than making Jasper question his relationship every year when you and Alice are voted 'Most Likely to be in a Secret Relationship'?" Emmett questions, laughing at the obvious memory.

"No, no," I let out with a laugh, us sitting down and Ada sitting on Emmett's knee. "The one where Edward and I are always voted Most Likely to Come Back a Couple. I think Bella's heard and isn't my fan for it."

"Well I'm not a fan of her, so you and I can avoid her together," Rose states, the voice of the game announcer cutting off anymore there was going to be to the conversation.
