Tell you
something Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight. The amazing
Stephenie Meyer does!! Bella and Alice go away to college to
Dartmouth. That's where they meet a cocky Edward Masen. Bella likes
him when she first sets eyes on him, but promised she would never
fall for a player like him. She promises to never talk to Edward ever
again. That is, until Alice starts dating his roommate, and best
fried; Jasper. What will happen when the two are forced to hang out
together? Will they end up falling in love or will they end up
killing each
other?
Bella's point of view:
"Alice!" I whined dropping my empty suitcase on the floor of my living room. "Last time I let you pack for me you got rid of all my old clothes and got me a whole wardrobe!" I complained further. "I want to do it myself. I'm a big girl you know."
"Okay, Bella."
Alice, standing with a bored expression, wouldn't give up that easily. I knew she would pull something else and I would end up agreeing to her request.. Like always.
"But, don't blame me if your suitcase just happens to disappear at our next rest stop on the way there." she shrugged. I looked her up and down, trying to find anything that told me she was kidding, but I knew I would find nothing. She had never been more serious. I cringed when I thought about her throwing my clothes out the back of her car when I went to the bathroom, and leaving it in a ditch for some homeless person to find. Of course, that would lead into one of Alice's many shopping trips..
"Okay you win!" I gasped before I could think more about shopping with Alice. Of all the things to be afraid of..
"Yay!" Alice chirped jumping around clapping. She grabbed my hand and quickly ran up the stairs with me, grabbing my suitcase with her in her haste. She climbed the stairs almost three at a time and threw my door open, flinging me inside.
I sighed and slowly walked over to my closet. Alice was already there throwing clothes out onto my floor.
"No. No. No. Bella! Have I taught you nothing?!" She yelled at me throwing my gray t-shirt onto the growing pile of clothes on the floor. I pouted and sat down on my bed watching my clothes fly.
"No. No. No. Oh!" She stopped throwing clothes. "This may do." She said throwing a pink tank top with a pink bow around it towards me. I caught it and held it up with a frown on my face.
"Alice, this is what you got me last week. I hid it for a reason." I complained to her before she threw a denim skirt at me. (Both on my profile.)"Put them on, Bella. You want a cute outfit for today don't you?" She yelled from in my closet, throwing more stuff onto the ground only approving things she'd bought for me. I watched sadly as she threw my clothes into a large pile and stepped out to look me up and down.
"Bella! Now!" She hissed at me. I sighed and bowed my head.
"Alice, today isn't special. We're just moving into our dorm room. Nothing special about that. I don't want to play dress up today! Please!" I begged her finally looking back up at her. Her bottom lip was trembling and she gave me a look that she knew I couldn't refuse. I sighed with frustration and stripped my clothes off as Alice clapped and cheered.
When I was done Alice whistled at me and told me I looked good.
"Glad you approve, Alice." I said bitterly. Alice giggled and looked back down at the clothes on the floor. They went to her waist. She then frowned and looked back at me raising an eyebrow.
"No." I already knew what she was thinking. What else would she be thinking about? "No, Alice. I refuse." Her face lit up and she bit her bottom lip. I knew I would loose anyways.
--
In the past thirty minutes I had somehow walked out of my room with no clothes, no suitcase, I had a makeover, and a promise to Alice that she could take me shopping and get a whole new wardrobe. She told me I could say no to five things, but that was it. Everything else was her call.
We got to her car and I got in. I sat in the passenger seat and did the only thing I felt like doing. I sulked.
"Oh Bella! This will be so much fun! Can you believe it? We're college students!" Alice said enthusiastically. I moaned and listened to Alice ramble about things to come.
"Oh and boys! Cute boys! And shopping, of course. I can't wait to decorate the dorm room! Hehe! And then we can join a club, and the dance, and-" I sighed and tuned everything out except for the purr of the engine. Before I knew it I was asleep.
--
An hour later and we finally pulled over at a small restaurant called MA Raffa's Italian Restaurant only a few minutes from campus. When we got out of the car, I shielded my eyes with my hand to keep the rain out of my eyes, just like Alice. We ran to the front and opened the door where we were welcomed with warm air, and friendly chatter among the restaurant.
"Hello, I'm Mike and I'll be your server." Somebody said from behind me. I turned around to see a boy with blond, messy hair and a cute face. He had deep blue eyes and a bored expression. When he saw me looking at him he looked me up and down and smiled largely. He glanced at Alice once to notice her horrid expression and blushed heavily.
We stood awkwardly in the front of the restaurant for a couple minutes while Mike stared me down. I blushed a scarlet red and coughed. He looked up at me and his eyebrow went up like he was truly curious what my problem was.
"Um.. We need a table, please. Preferably a booth." I whispered motioning to a booth in the corner and blushing deeper when Mike winked at me.
"Of course! Right this way!" He chirped and grabbed two menu's off the stand. He led us to the booth I had asked for and turned professional again. "Just tell me what you'd like to drink, and I'll be on my way." I nodded and crawled into the booth opposite of Alice.
"Water, please." Alice smiled warmly without looking at the menu. I pursed my lips and asked for water as well.
"Certainly, ladies. I'll be back with your waters in a second." He bowed, actually bowed, and walked towards the kitchen. Alice giggled and I turned towards her wide eyed.
"What?!" I begged, truly curious. Alice rolled her eyes as if I were missing something very obvious, which I probably was.
"Our good friend, Mike, likes you Bella! Didn't you see him checking you out? And he's totally cute!" She giggled and winked at me. I rolled my eyes again and went back to my menu.
"Sure, sure Alice." I said as she continued giggled. She finally stopped when Mike came out with two waters in hand. He sat them down lightly on the table and turned towards me.
"Ready to order?" He asked and I nodded. Alice giggled silently and I hissed under my breath.
"I'll have the stuffed shells with meat sauce, please." I nodded setting the menu in his hands. Our hands brushed leaving an odd, cold feeling and I blushed. We both turned towards Alice who had her menu closed in front of her.
"I'll have a small Chicken Antipasto with hot garlic bread on the side." She said as Mike took her menu. He turned back towards me and told me our food would be here shortly. I looked down at the table so I wouldn't have to see Alice's expression.
The silence was maddening so I looked up to Alice's face, and she was staring at me with a large grin on her face. I sighed and prepared myself for wheat was yet to come.
"Here you go ladies, this is from the man at the table over there" Mike pointed to a table across the aisle and added bitterly, "He told me to tell you that you're looking ravishing today." Alice and I looked over to a man with a brown jacket and slicked back black hair. He was smiling and he winked at us. I heard Mike cough and curse about how stupid he was before stomping off.
I turned back to the two Shirley temples sitting on the table, and laughed with Alice. "Do we really look that good?" I asked. Alice looked at me incredulously and rolled her eyes.
"If by we you mean you then yes." Now it was my turn to roll my eyes. She giggled and I joined in. We began talking about our shopping trip.
"I can pick you up at your room" Alice winked at me and I giggled. We shared a dorm room. "Then we can drive to the mall off campus and go to forever 21. Maybe wet seal. Those are some of my favorites! And of course, Victoria's Secret." Alice winked at me and I groaned.
"Why would we need Victoria's Secret, Alice? I know you aren't talking about regular underwear." I hissed thinking about the past clothes she tried to make me get from there -if you would even really call them clothes. More like strips of cotton or silk to cover up a little bit of your body-.
"Come on, Bella. What if we meet some hot guys? Seriously, you don't want to be wearing granny panties when they unzip your pants with their teeth." She moaned dramatically and I sighed. Like that would happen to me.
"Alice.." Before I could finish Mike came with our food. His face was sweaty and he was panting. Did he hear us talking? I looked down to his pants and noticed a bulge covered slightly by the apron. I looked back up at his face and he blushed embarrassed. I blushed again for the millionth time tonight and thanked him before he walked off towards the bathroom.
"That was.. awkward." Alice said obviously acknowledging our little scene. I nodded and started to devour my food in silence. Alice talked about small things like how she hoped our room was big, and told me about the classes she was taking.
When we were finished Mike came back and I didn't look back at his face until I had to. He handed me the check and I smiled after I thanked him. I read the bill. 14.98, not bad. I laid my money on the table along with a five dollar tip when I felt somebody tap my shoulder. I turned around to face a red faced Mike.
"Here, take this." He handed me a folded up piece of paper and winked. I opened it up but before anything Mike told me what it was. "My number. Call me sometime. See you later, um.." He bit his bottom lip and I smiled.
"Bella." I helped him out.
"Yeah! Bella. Call me later, okay?" He walked off and I read the paper.
Mike Newton. 928-368-3113. Call me, beautiful.
I shook my head and crumbled up the paper. I turned to face Alice, but gasped when she was nowhere to be seen. Does that mean she didn't see this miserable attempt Mike made to get a date with me? I smiled, hopefully, and shoved the paper into a nearby trashcan before running out into the rain in search for Alice.
I didn't have to go far to find the car. Alice had it parked and running in front of the restaurant. I smiled and jumped into the passenger seat. Alice was blasting music and singing along to the lyrics.
"We could take a ride fly across the sky.." She turned towards me and turned the music down so it was just a low sound in the back. I frowned knowing to well that she was about to bombard me with questions.
"So.." She asked raising an eyebrow. "He ask you out, yet?" She giggled and I rolled my eyes.
"Let's go Alice." She squealed and started driving. The rest of the ride took about ten minutes, but when we got to the front I couldn't help but smile.
It was beautiful. Green grass everywhere. Tree's growing tall, and healthy. Hundreds of people hanging out around the building. The actual building was huge. I looked to the left towards the dorm room and motioned for Alice to drive forward.
When we got to the front Alice was glowing. A large smile was placed on her face, and her eyes sparkled. I knew I would have a similar expression and that made me giggle. Alice grabbed two of her suitcases from the back and motioned for me to get the other two. She said she would come back for the rest later. Did she really need so many bags?
We walked in and found our room. 27. Alice looked at me at the same time I looked at her and pulled out our room key. She unlocked it and opened it.
It was a large 14x14 room. It had one window in the back and two beds. It had blue carpet and white walls. Alice sighed and looked over to the left before screaming in my ear. She ran over to the closet and almost fainted. She screamed again and ran out, pushing me to the floor.
"It's huge! I love it! We need to touch it up, furniture, walls. You know? But I can so work with this!" She jumped up and down. When she finally calmed down she told me she had to unpack.
"Oh me too!" I said then rolled my eyes. "Oh, wait. I forgot. My certain best friend threw all my old clothes out leaving me with two outfits!" I hissed before regretting it. The look on Alice's face..
"Shopping!" She squealed and I moaned.
"Shopping.."
