Chapter 14: The Pranksters.

Gabriella's POV

The ride home was silent. I guess it was because we were all lost in our own thoughts. I couldn't stop thinking about lunch at Emily's; Embry was probably thinking about how he wished he was there for the cake and Alex... Well I wasn't sure.

"So, what are you guys going to do now?" Embry asked, breaking the silence that loomed over the car.

I thought about for a while. What were we going to do now? Just then an idea came into mind.

I looked over at Alex, "Alex, do you remember the good old times back in LA?"

Thankfully she got what I was talking about. "Oh yes. You and I were experts at it."

"Experts at what?" Embry asked confused.

"Oh nothing, just this and that." I answered.

"Aw come on! I'm not a mind reader you know. Just tell me, please." He said pleadingly at me while giving me sad eyes. Damn, he knew I couldn't say no to him if he did that!

I sighed, "Fine. We used to play pranks on people back in LA."

"Pranks? But you're girls!" he said.

"And your point is?" Alex countered.

"Nothing, I just didn't think that girls played pranks on people." He said, shrugging.

"Well you thought wrong." Alex said. "But anyway, I've already got a prank in mind."

"And I know just the person to pull the prank on." I said with a devious smile. "Embry, can you take us to the Clearwater Supply Store?"

"Sure." He said before driving in the direction of the store.

"Ok, we need to get a fake spider, jelly, honey, whipped cream and chocolate."

Me and Embry both gave her a confused look. "For what?"

"Well, the spider, jelly, honey and whipped cream is for the prank and the chocolate is for me. Because I'm still hungry and that's what I'm craving." She explained.

When we walked inside the store, I saw Sue at the counter flipping through a newspaper looking very bored. I fiddled with my fingers uncomfortably. I hadn't talked to Sue or Leah since me and Seth had broken up.

Sue looked up and saw me. "Hey Gabriella, how've you been?"

"Good." I answered awkwardly.

"So, did you guys need anything?"

"Yeah, we need a fake spider, jelly, honey and whipped cream." Alex answered before she realised what she had said.

"For what?" Sue said, eyeing us suspiciously.

I glared at Alex, "Because we need it for a project."

"Yeah, an art project..." Embry added.

"Oh my god look there's the chocolate!" Alex squealed before running to the aisle, giving Sue a distraction and a chance for me and Embry to get away.

"That was a close one Alex! Be careful." I warned her as her eyes were scanning through all the different kinds of chocolate on the shelf.

"Fine, but we've got a bigger problem right now," she started to say, "Should we get the cookies and cream Hershey or the almond Hershey?"

I looked at her in disbelief, "Really? That's your problem?"

"Well, the cookies and cream one is-." she said before Embry cut her off.
