Another tense jump, be careful of these as they throw the reader right out of the story.
Alice thought it best to stop listening...she moves back pulling her knees to her chest trying her best not to cry.
Every sentence in this paragraph begins with "she". Consider mixing it up a bit to improve the flow.
She stood stretching her arms above her head letting out a hefty yawn. She skips across the room to her dresser sticking out her tongue in the mirror. She laughs before moving over to the closet swinging it open, as the door slams against the wall she jumps back startled by the sound. She laughs covering her face in embarrassment before snatching her favorite dress and darting out to the bathroom. She stumbles around the bathroom all the while hearing her father downstairs talking on the phone.
Careful with your tenses here, you jump from past to present and back again in this paragraph.
She jumps slightly startled as a small cat rubs against her leg before starting off ahead of her creating a neon walkway
