Wow. I'm so happy cuz I would never think that I would get 32 reviews! Reviews make me smile. On with the story! Huzzah!
The first thing Alice said that she wanted to do was the hair.
"But, Alice, why do I need a different hair cut? Edward said he likes my hair, already!"
"Bella, this is a complete makeover, which means new everything. And besides, if Edward likes your hair now, then, he'll love it after we're done!" She explained with a wink.
Ugh. This was going to be a long day…. Again.
We walked into the hair salon, and the hair product smells made my head swim. Alice walked confidently up to the woman at the small desk and said, " I made an appointment under the name of Cullen."
The woman looked down at her clipboard on the desk lazily and said,
"Sorry, Ma'am, I have nothing under the name of Cullen." Then, Alice winked at me and slipped a few dollar bills on the desk with the numbers 100 printed in bold. I really didn't want to know how much money she was spending on me today, but I did know that this was just the start.
"Um, uh, come this way." The woman said, conspicuously sliding the money in her pocket. I rolled my eyes, but followed anyways.
I sat in the plush chair and leaned back, closing my eyes. I was still a little tired from my early wake up call. I listened to the soft piano music (that seemed insignificant after listening to Edward's playing) until the woman came to cut and, to my dismay, highlight it.
Alice promised me that my highlights would look natural, so it wouldn't look bad. My hair took forever just to cut!
Then, the highlights. By the time I was done, I thought it would take forever to get the rest of the day done! This was just the first stop!
When the woman was done, she turned my chair slowly to face the mirror. When I saw my hair, I gasped. It was still as long as it had been- a little longer than elbow length, but I had many, many layers now and a side bang.(Bella's haircut in my profile) The highlights were a dark bronze color, like Edwards hair, but a tiny bit darker so that it would go with my hair. Alice will be Alice. My stomach did little flips when I thought of Edward. I was so nervous of what he would think….
But I had to admit that it made me look prettier. Alice and Rose grinned like crazy when they saw me. Alice had already seen my hair in her vision, but she was still excited.
Alice paid at the desk and also bought a lot of hair supplies like a new strawberry scented shampoo for colored hair with matching conditioner, a new brush, (Alice said my old brush needed to be replaced- I just shrugged) and a bottle of hairspray.
"Now for clothes!" Alice and Rosalie shouted in unison. I followed them in almost EVERY STORE. At one point, Rose had to run at vampire speed to put some bags in the car. Luckily, people at the mall don't pay very much attention because of all the sales going on.
Shopping for clothes and shoes took up most of the day. A lot of my clothes were shades of blue, others in reds, whites, blacks, and greens…. But there were tons of new jeans. I had to say, Rosalie knew how to find jeans to fit my figure perfectly. Dark wash, skinny jeans, light wash…. I even picked out a few pairs of silky pajamas for myself; Alice said my old ones wouldn't do any longer. Then, of course Rose found some dangerously soft, fuzzy slippers to match, that just happened to be on sale….
I thought we would be done after clothes but I was wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. We had to do makeup. Ugh….
All I had to do was sit down on a chair while the woman put makeup on my face, but good grief! How many times do you have to put on the same eye shadow before realizing that it doesn't go with my complexion?
Finally done with makeup, I looked in the mirror. I didn't recognize the person staring back at me. I really didn't. She was wearing a very thin layer of powder to even out the color of her creamy skin, rosy blush that made the rest of her face look flawless, and her huge chocolate brown eyes were perfectly outlined with black eyeliner. Her long, curled eyelashes looked even longer with mascara, and her slightly sparkly brown eye shadow made her look beautiful and a little older than she looked. Her full lips had a pink gloss on that made them look perfect and soft. She looked like somebody that could stand next to Edward.
I looked over at Alice and Rose, my hair swishing slightly because of the layers, and they grinned at me hugely. I stood up while Alice bought the makeup I was wearing.
I walked over to Rose and she smiled at me.
"You look wonderful, Bella!"
"Thanks," I said shyly. This makeover had Rose all happy and friendly towards me, so I was going to take what I could get with her kindness.
Alice came out of nowhere suddenly and was bouncing on the spot so fast that she was a blur.
(A/n- I couldn't resist the mental image of Alice jumping up and down so fast that she was a blur with people passing by wondering what she was on.)
"Alice stop! People are staring!" I whispered nervously. People weren't only staring at both Rose's and Alice's beauty (or Alice's happiness for that matter), but they were also staring at me. This makeover must really be working, to my extreme embarrassment….
"Okay, okay! The next and last stop! Jewelry." I was tugged to so many jewelry stores that I was about to be in tears because I was just so happy that my mother forced me to get my ears pierced when I was 12, or Alice would have held me down while the two women put holes in my head.
In the car, I sat in the back seat while surrounded by so many bags of clothes, boxes of shoes, a bag of makeup, and a huge bag of earrings, necklaces, watches, bracelets, and charms that I couldn't even see the front seat.
But Alice and Rose seamed to hear me through the wall of bags and boxes when I shouted,
"Thank you guys for doing all of this," because I heard a muffled chorus of "Your Welcome, Bella's" through the wall of bags and boxes.
I had suggested that Alice sit in the back since she was smallest, but she had insisted on driving her "baby". The Cullens and their obsession with their cars….
Finally getting everything in Alice's room, Alice had to leave for 5 minutes an wouldn't tell me why.
"Bella just stay here with Rosalie, and I'll be right back!" she had said right before disappearing into a blur of black and white.
I hated when she kept those evil secrets. They never lead to anything good…. (oooh! Hint, hint! -waggles eyebrows mysteriously-)
4 MINUTES AND 59 SECONEDS LATER:
"I'm ba-ack!" Alice sang.
Rose didn't even look up from her magazine when she said,
"You're early."
"I'm having a good day," She replied sarcastically as she walked by the chair that Rosalie was sitting in.
"Alice where did you go?" I asked suspiciously.
" I went to your house…."
"To do what?!"
"Well…."
"Alice!"
"Okay! I threw out all of your old clothes!"
" What?!"
"You heard me! There would be no room for your new stuff!"
I grumbled under my breath about personal belongings and permission about trashing things for what was the rest of the day.
When I lay in Edward's bed that night, I couldn't sleep. Tomorrow Edward was coming home, and I had to go to school where people like Jessica and Lauren would be waiting to see Edward girlfriend- less. They must be crazy to think I was going to break up with him. But now I had to see what " taking things into our own hands" meant.
But, Edward was coming home tomorrow! Did I mention that before, cuz if I didn't let me say it one more time! EDWARD. COMING. HOME. TOMORROW. What would he think?!
I would have to wait until he came home to see what his reaction was….
-creepy organ music- DUN DUN… DUNNNNNNNNNNNN!! What will his reaction be?! Well, that's going to be in the next chapter. Then the school's ( Lauren's, Jessica's, and Mike's especially) reaction in the next next chapter, so hang in there! R&R!! It makes me smile!!
