I was walking to school this morning, thinking about nothing in particular. It was just a normal morning. Like every day, I woke up got dressed for school, grabbed a bagel from the counter and munched on it while walking to school. When I first arrived in the school yard everything seemed normal until I saw Alice.
Alice had been my best friend since Grade 2 when I first came to Rowson P.S and we had been best friends ever since, doing practically everything together. We had never budged to let anyone in on our own private life, until today. What I saw in the school yard that day, surprised me more than anything I'd ever seen.
Alice was pinned against the wall her long, blonde hair pressed tight to the bricks. On top of her, his lips pressed on hers, was Jasper, the hottest guy in school.
I mean, I've always known that Alice was pretty, wherever we went we got stares from some passing boys. Alice had long, wavy dirty blonde hair that always seemed to give off a sparkle. She had light blue eyes, thin neat eyebrows and a long perfect face. She was one of those girls who was always at the mall shopping or on a cleansing diet. Really, she was totally different from me, a ordinary girl with straight brown hair and dark eyes, I never stood out in the crowd. I guess that's what made the both of us such good friends. But I would have never expected to see her making out with a guy, at least not this early, I mean we were only in Grade 8.
Before she got a chance to see me staring at her I turned my back to her, refusing to look at her again, and walked quickly into the school.
The bell rang to announce the end of the school day and I was hoping to catch up with Alice. Surprisingly, I hadn't seen her all day and I wanted to speak to her about this morning but before I could even think about where to look for her, I heard a loud voice from behind me.
"Bella! You would never guess what happened today, you know that super hot guy, Jasper…" I blocked the rest out of my mind.
I guess I didn't really have to ask her about anything that had happened this morning. The whole way home she kept talking about Jasper. I blocked her talking out of my mind. I had better things to think about and right now I didn't feel like listening about her new boyfriend for hours.
When we finally got to Alice's home I was relieved as to not have to listen to her blabbering about Jasper anymore.
Alice's home was huge and quite beautiful from the outside. A large black fence surrounded the property and the house had 2 wings. What I loved the most about Alice's house though was her room. Her closet was enormous filled with hats, clothes and a full wall contributed just for storage of her shoes.
We walked into her neat, organized room and I slumped down onto her King-sized bed. She sat beside me resting her head on the wall.
"You know" she said sighing softly "it really does feel good to have a boyfriend. I mean I just can't wait until tomorrow to see him."
She then walked over to her dressing table, pulling out her giant make-up bag and reapplying her already perfect make-up.
"Hey! Bella" Alice yelled across the room as she applied her second coat of bright red lipstick "maybe you could come to Cruzans, it's a club, tonight with Jasper and I. He's invited a few of his friends; maybe you could hook up with one of them."
"Uggggggh!!" I groaned out load, I didn't really love clubs. "No offense but I think it might be better if I just left you alone tonight. Plus tomorrow is school and I don't want to stay up late."
"Oh come on Bella" replied Alice "It's only one night and your mom won't have to know. You'll just sneak out of the house when your parents have gone to bed and they'll never notice. It'll be fun. Please!!"
"Oh fine" I just couldn't resist Alice's pleads and it did sound like fun. I just hoped my parents wouldn't catch me.
