He glared her down, knowing there was no way she could make him smile. He had practiced his whole life to hide emotions when had to,"No way possible," he said stubbornly, his arms still crossed tightly.

Alice`s smile became mischevious. "Then cheer up. And I can read your emmotions, so it wouldn`t do any good to try and hide it." Her eyes gleamed.

Nate stared and thought of nothing after she had said that. He erased his thoughts and tried to think of nothing which half way worked. "No i dont want to," he said in a even toned voice.

[potter_fan122]

"Think of Jackie, the way she smiles, the way she laughes." Alice whispered. Her voice was like a light breeze. "How she holds your hand when you walk together."

[nate]

Nate closed his eyes and tried to block out what she was saying so she wouldnt win. A grin pulled at the corner of his lips but he didnt smile. He was smiling in the inside but it didnt matter, she wouldnt know,"It didnt work," he said with that still even tone.

[potter_fan122]

Alice laughed again. "I can read your emmotions, ya know." She reminded him.

[nate]

Nate smiled,"D*mn and i was so close." He uncrossed his arms and slid them in his pant pockets.

[potter_fan122]

Alice smiled. "There`s really no chance of you winning anything against me." She said.

[nate]

"Ooo im scared!" He teased,"You may be wiser but im nicer."

[potter_fan122]

Alice raised an eyebrow. "Hey, I`m nice." She said sweetly.

[nate]

Nate rolled his eyes,"Pssh in your dreams"

[potter_fan122]

Alice rolled her eyes. "In your dreams. Remember, I just split a seven-foot-in-diameter tree."

[nate]

"Doesnt mean your nicer," he sang in a soft voice. He put on a white smile.

[potter_fan122]

Alice smiled sweetly. "Doesn`t mean you`re nicer." She sang back.

[nate]

His eyes shined with amusement,"I think t does," he said cutely.
