Okay, I am so happy! I would never think that so many people would like my first chapter! Thank you :0)
"Bella! Bell-a!! Come on! Wake up!" Alice's demanding musical voice woke me up with a start. As I ever so slowly grasped where I was, I moaned and rolled over. I could still remember very vividly what happened yesterday at school, and just wanted to get the weekend over with lying in bed.
Even through my early morning daze, I could tell that something was off. I rolled over in Edward's huge bed and look outside at the huge wall of glass. It was still dark! I glanced at the watch I had left on over the night and did a double take. It was 5:30 in the morning!
"Alice, what the heck?!" I shouted.
"Bella I told you that we were going to fix this didn't I?" she asked as if it were obvious why she had woken me up at 5:30 in the morning.
On a Saturday. In the morning. Not. Cool.
"Wait, who exactly do you mean by 'we'?" I asked confused and slightly disoriented from being awake at 5:30 am. My eyelids were slowly starting to get heavier and heavier, but what Alice said next had them snapping back open as wide as they could go.
"Just you, Rose, and me," Alice said casually as she started looking through my over- night bag for clothes that I could change into for today. As if on cue, Rose came walking in, graceful and beautiful as ever.
Rose and I had grown a little bit closer as she slowly grew to accept that I wasn't changing my mind about becoming one of them, but I still got very nervous about being around her. Maybe something about her being the most beautiful woman on the face of the earth who hated my guts had something to do with it….
Obviously, Alice had told her about what had happened because she started muttering under her breath about Jessica and Lauren being wastes of life and space, ECT….
"Alice what exactly are you going to make me do?" I demanded, but the next thing I know is that Alice is shoving me into her huge bathroom, locking me in. I stumbled around, dizzy and confused.
"Now, Bella just take a shower, and put on the clothes in your bag. But hurry up! The mall opens at 6!" She shouted through the door. I clenched my teeth.
"Wait! The mall? What about your plan?!" I asked completely lost now.
"All a part of the plan!" she shouted, then started talking at vampire speed with Rosalie. I caught the word "wax" over the running water. Oh lord. I groaned at and climbed into the shower.
In the car Alice finally, finally, told me her plan.
"Alice!" I had moaned on the way to the mall.
"Okay fine, fine!" she said in her silvery laugh. Yes! I thought.
"But…" She began smirking at Rose.
"Noooooo!" I moaned, banging my head against the seat.
"Relax, Bella. You just have to promise us something," Rose said, in a relaxed voice.
"What?" I asked cautiously.
"You just have to promise us that when we do this, you're going to have to go all the way with it. No backing out," she said each word precisely, like she didn't want me too miss the meaning of her words. This only meant one thing: that I wouldn't want anything to do with this plan of hers.
I sighed. "I promise."
"Okay then. We, Bella, are going to give you the hugest makeover we have ever done! Hair, nails, wardrobe, makeup…." she trailed off getting excited about all of the possibilities.
I felt like I was going to explode!
"Alice! How would that change anything!? How will that make Jessica and Lauren back off!? I don't know what's going to happen, but it's not going to be good!" I was on the verge of hysteria.
Alice seemed perfectly at ease.
"Maybe you don't know what's going to happen, but I, Bella, do!" She paused to tap her temple and grin at me; slightly reminding me of Edward when he said that he had 'built in radar'….
"And to answer your question, we're going to give them something to talk about. We're going to show them just how beautiful you really are! Were gonna make them eat their words. And think of this, Bella," she said giving me a wicked grin. " Think about how Edward is going to think of your makeover…."
I gulped nervously. What if Edward didn't like the makeover? What if Jessica and Lauren made fun of how I looked?
Rose could tell I was nervous by my heartbeat accelerating, so she said in a teasing voice,
"Bella, I'm a little disappointed."
"What?" I asked. I was confused and a little scared to be on her bad side when we seemed to be on good terms.
She laughed. "It's like you don't even trust us!" She laughed harder at my expression.
I couldn't help but laugh with her and then Alice was laughing with us. The more I thought of it, the better the idea sounded. Maybe if I looked good enough, Jessica and Lauren would back off…. And then maybe I would look a little bit worthy of Edward….
But then we drove into the mall parking lot and the thought of a whole day of shopping made me want to be sucked into the black leather interior of the car seat. I took a deep breath as we walked into the entrance of the mall. Alice and Rose seemed perfectly at ease, but I was everything but that. Shopping: not my thing.
Phew. The next chapter is going to be fun to write, because it's the whole day of shopping with Alice and Rose. I know the end when they all start laughing is kinda cheesy, but I think that Bella needs to be able to laugh with Rose and Alice like this if she's gonna make this big transformation. For those of you who wanted Alice's plan to be more EEVIL, sorry. (ha. Go read Notes With Alice, Bella & the Cullens by Lanna- Misssunshine to get the joke. It's hysterical! ;0)
Review please!!
