I do not own Twilight. Too bad cuz that would be really cool!
Now for the story...
Alice POV
…."The star Polaris is around 450 light years away. So when you see the light coming from it, that's the light that left that star 450 years ago." My professor droned on and on.
Welcome to my introduction to astronomy college class, and gosh is it boring! I still don't know why I took this class, I guess I just had one of those moments when your brain turns to mush and what you do doesn't register to you.
I swear I'm going to fall asleep in this class at some point, I can promise that.
Luckily there's only 10 minutes left, and then I can be free from this prison! WooHoo!
"Any questions?" He asked the class. I'm praying no one asks any.
"None? We'll I guess you can go early; I don't have anything more for the lesson. Have a great weekend, see you Monday." He said with a smile. There is a God!
I all but bolted for the door, and I almost knocked someone over, oops. "I'm sorry." I said quickly and left.
In the car…
Dang traffic was slow, it's like the world was against me today. And on top of that I have a feeling something bad was going to happen….weird.
I still have one more class today, but I got a hair appointment to make, I've really been needing one for the past week, it's getting harder to fix my hair in the morning, not to mention it's starting to look creepy when I wake up.
I pulled into the salon parking lot with 5 minutes to spare before I was late, thank God I made it! And right in the nick of time I might add.
I rushed in; my stylist looked up, seeing me she smiled. "Right on time, as always Alice. I'm almost done here; I'll be with you in 5 minutes." I smiled back at her. "Of course." I sat down in one of the waiting chairs.
Five minutes later she came up to me. "I'm ready for you. Let's get started."
"So how are you today?" she asked me curiously.
"I'm okay, just finished my first class for today, got one more at 1:30." I answered back.
I sat in the chair as she made the back of the chair go backwards till my neck was leaning on the edge of the sink. She started washing my hair; it felt so relaxing, especially after dealing with my last class.
When she finished she turned off the water. "Just go sit in that chair over there and I'll be right there." I nodded and headed over to the chair on the other side of the room.
She came over and started cutting my hair and in the process making small talk about what was going on in each others lives. Barbra has been my stylist since I was 7 years old; she knows me like the back of her hand.
When she finished, she let me look in the mirror. My hair was its beautiful short and spiky self again. I turned and smiled at her. "Thank you so much! You saved my hair."
She laughed. "Well your welcome."
I quickly paid and left.
I still had 2 hours before my college success class, so I decided to do a little shopping at my favorite store Charlotte Russe.
I saw these awesome sleek black stiletto heels that would go great with the black dress I bought for the banquet I was going to with Jasper.
Yay! They fit! I bought the shoes and headed back to Seminole State for my second class.
2:45…
"Please don't forget to do the homework. And I'll see you Monday!" Professor Walker told us all.
I left and got to my car and texted my best friend, Bella, about our plans tonight. I'm so excited! We are going eat dinner at Olive Garden, and then we are going to the movies to see Vampires Suck that came out last Friday….well I talked her into seeing it with me, she didn't think it looked good, I'm so going to prove her wrong.

'Are you almost ready to go? I just got out of class. We're going to eat first and the movie starts at 7:30, so we need to go pretty soon.'
To: Alice
From: Bella
'I'll be ready in like 30 minutes.'
To: Bella
From: Alice
'Okay, I'll pick you up at your house in an hour :)'
I headed to my house and went straight to my closet in a rush. Ok what am I going to wear?
I think I'll wear my black jeans with my off the shoulder jade green top. Yeah that will work just fine.
I put on some dark gray eye shadow and mascara; I then fixed my hair to make it spike out everywhere. Ok I'm ready, time to get going.
Pulling up to her house I checked the time, 4:10, well we're not doing too badly.
Bella came out of the house a couple minutes later wearing jeans and a dark forest green shirt. She jumped in the car and shut the door.
"Hey how was class?" Bella looked at me expectantly
"Well my second class was great, but astronomy isn't my favorite. Yet, I thought of this thing to describe it."
"Well let's hear it!" She said impatiently.
"A dash of history, a pinch of math, a whole lot of science, hey throw in the galaxy and you got yourself astronomy!" I said with a grin as I pulled out of the driveway.
"What got you to think of that?" She asked.
"I don't know, I wasn't really even thinking about it, it just hit me."
