I was having this really good dream about how the annoying guy from yesterday, Mike, was being chased by this huge octopus around the Starbucks I work in. But right before the octopus was about to grab Mike, my dream got interrupted by a high-pitched shriek.
At first I thought Mike was the person who was screaming, but a moment later I was wide-awake, and I could still hear the yelling.
I realized that the screaming must have been coming from Alice, so I quickly got out of bed and opened my bedroom door. Panicking, I quickly went over to Alice's room. When I opened her door, I saw Alice staring at her alarm clock as if it were the devil.
"What's wrong, Alice?" I asked as I made my way over to her. Nothing seemed to be wrong, but I was still a bit nervous.
"This-this alarm clock didn't go off!" she said exasperated. "I woke up an hour late!" she wailed.
"But Alice, it's only eight," I tried to reassure her.
"Yeah, but the carnival begins at ten! That only gives us two hours to get ready!"
I rolled my eyes. She upset because we "only" had two hours to get ready. The thought that she had planned to play "dress up Bella-Barbie" for even more then two hours was horrifying.
"Well I guess I'll have to cut off on waxing you, since we won't have enough time," Alice said unhappily.
"You were going to wax my body? Alice, we're going to a carnival! I don't need my body waxed before we go work at the carnival," I argued. No way was I ever going to go though another painful session of getting hair removed from my body.
Alice rolled her eyes and said, "Just go to the bathroom, and we'll get started."
I groaned. Alice gave me a do-what-I-say-or-else look. I sighed, but followed her orders and went into the bathroom.
An hour and a half later, I was finally out of the torture chamber, dressed-up and ready to go. Alice had made me wear a light pink tank top, and a jean skirt.
What's worse, she gave me pair of high-heels that just screamed, 'DEATH TRAPS' once I saw them. Was she trying to kill me?
The only "kind" thing Alice did for me was to only apply a little makeup. She only used mascara on me, since she claimed I wouldn't need any blush. She was right, though. I was enough of a red tomato throughout the day to not need any blush.
Alice finished up her makeup 20 minutes later. She was putting on her own pair of high-heels when I realized that I didn't even know where the carnival was taking place.
I voiced my thoughts, and Alice explained that it was taking place in the same park. "It said that on the sign that was next to the table yesterday."
Sign? I didn't even know there was a sign next to the table. I guess I was too distracted to notice.
We headed out the door at a quarter to ten. We decided to ride in Alice's yellow Porsche. We figured that if we rode in my red truck, we wouldn't be able to make it in time. Not that I even wanted to go to the carnival. The thought of kissing random strangers made me nervous. I wasn't even sure if I was a good kisser.
Then I started to really worry myself.
What if the guys I kissed ran away because I did something wrong?
What if I had to kiss a girl?
I shook my head and closed my eyes in order to calm myself.
When I opened my eyes again, I looked over to Alice to see that she was quite the opposite of me. She was bouncing in her seat as she drove. She seemed to be bursting with excitement the closer we got to the park.
Five minutes later, Alice had found us a space at a parking lot close by to the park, and we were heading over to the carnival.
You could see a huge line behind the gates for the carnival. Little kids were holding their parents' hands as they waited for 10 o'clock, while a lot of teens and young adults were hanging out in groups as they waited on line.
Alice had a huge smile on her face as she searched for something.
"There!" she pointed to a sign as she read it. "All carnival helpers please report to the front of the line in order to get the time you will be working at the booth you have chosen," I read aloud.
Alice practically skipped to the front of the line as I followed her nervously. Again, there was the same table set up as yesterday, only a different person was sitting behind it. It was a different girl who looked to be about our age.
"Names please?" she asked us both.
"I'm Alice Brandon, and my friend's Isabella Swan. We're helping out at the Kissing Booth."
The girl flipped through the clipboard with all of the signatures until she reached the right page.
"Okay, Alice's shift will be right after Isabella's shift. Isabella," she said looking at me, "your shift is the second one of the day. It starts at 10:20, and it will last for 20 minutes."
She turned to Alice. "Your shift will start at 10:40, and it will also last for 20 minutes. You and Isabella must be at your shift 5 minutes prior to your scheduled time."
"Oh, and in order for you to enter and enjoy everything at the carnival, it will be ten dollars for each of you. All of the money collected after today's events will be donated to the local shelter."
I started to reach for my wallet in my purse, but Alice beat me and held up a hand to stop me. "No way are you paying. You paid last time we went out," she argued, and then handed the girl a 20 dollar bill.
I rolled my eyes, but allowed her to pay.
Alice said a happy, "thanks!" to the girl. Soon after, the gates were opened, and the carnival began. Alice linked arms with me as we entered.
"What should we do first?" I asked Alice. A giggling little girl ran past us quite quickly. A moment later, a little boy with an ice cream cone ran past us as he chased the little girl.
"Aww, young love is so beautiful," Alice said, giggling.
I laughed and then answered her question. "Do you want to go check out the rides for 10 minutes? Then we'll have 5 minutes for finding the Kissing Booth, and we'll still be there 5 minutes before my shift."
"Sure! Let's go!" Alice tugged me towards a roller coaster. "Let's go on that one!"
I looked at the roller coaster, horrified. It looked like it had quite a few loops and sharp turns.
"Um...why don't you go on it, Alice? I'll stay here and wait," I squeaked out.
"Silly Bella! Is someone a little afraid?" Alice teased me.
"No, someone's really afraid," I said. I gulped when we got closer to the roller coaster, and could hear the loud screams coming from the people on it.
"I can't believe you made me go on that roller coaster! I felt like I was going to die for sure," I whined towards Alice once we had gotten off the roller coaster.
"Well, look at the bright side, at least you didn't die," Alice teased.
"Not funny," I grumbled. "Not only that, but you made me wear a skirt. I mean seriously! Skirts and roller coasters just don't mix," I complained.
Alice rolled her eyes as she checked her watch.
"Oh, it's already 10:08."
Alice linked arms with me again as she announced dramatically, "Let's go find that Kissing Booth!"
I hope you guys enjoyed it! I hope I didn't offend anyone about the part with Bella not wanting to kiss a girl...yeah..um, I'm really sorry if I did. I mean, I have nothing against that, but erm...it's just the fact that Bella prefers...guys?
-Awkward silence-
Yeah...anyway...please leave a review to tell me what you thought about this chapter! Bella will be meeting Edward next chapter! Yeah! :]
