Bella POV

I sat on my bed reading as my best friend of 11 years, Alice Brandon, flew around the room, packing. We were going to Camp Green Lake for the summer to work as counselors. I knew Alice was excited just because it gave her a reason to go shopping.

Alice and I have been best friends ever since Kindergarten. I was the lonely girl in the corner while Alice was the freakishly small girl with an incredible fashion sense. Outsiders to the core, we blended immediately. Ever since, we have been best friends, who do everything together. No, scratch that. Almost everything together. While Alice adores shopping and tries to drag me out everyday to a different mall with a sale, I would rather sit at home reading a good book. Right now I'm re-reading Wuthering Heights.

"Bella?"
A high pitched voice drew me from my mind.
"Bella?" screamed Alice.
"What?" I asked annoyed.
"Which bikinis do you want to take to the lake? The blue and brown polka dotted one? The deep blue one piecer or the bright red one?"
Not thinking, I replied, 'Pick whatever you like best."
"Ok! All 3 of them they are." Alice exclaimed happily.
I groaned.
"Bella ya never know! You might run into a hottie and need the red one!"
"Yeah right!" I replied before turning back to my book.

Boy was I clueless that this summer, for the first time, I was going to use that red bikini.
