Chapter 3

Rosalie's POV:

We went to the little café around the corner. Luckily, it wasn't very crowded so we found a table to sit at. "I want a café vanilla frappe!" Alice screamed. Bella and I laughed at her. That's Alice. "I wonder how hyper you are going to get when you take a dose of the caffeine,"I said thoughtfully. She ignored the comment. "I also want a blueberry scone !" she announced with a child-like squeal despite the looks we were getting. "Ummm... I need to go to the bathroom" I said looking at her, then back to Bella. "I'm going to take her with me"I suggested pointing at Alice. "Do you mind getting the food?"

"No, of course not. What do you want?"she responded knowing I was going to take a while. "I want a skinny cinnamon dolce latte"I called back catching up with the skipping Alice.

I swung the brown-colored door open and quickly slid to the mirrors. My crystal hair band was a little crooked.I frowned. I took it off and replaced it carefully until it was it looked absolutely almost perfect. I smiled at my reflection. "Hello?"Alice waved her hand in my face snapping me out of my reverie. "Let me fix your make-up for you,"she pleaded. I happily let her knowing my make-up already has faded and I was going to re-apply it anyways. Alice was always skilled at being a make-up artist but took a little long but was worth each second. When, I looked at myself in the mirror, I thought I looked absolutely complete and perfect. I was still staring at myself when Alice finished hers.

I looked at my new cell phone. It was the latest in style and the commercials for it was going to start this week but I already got it with my best friends last week. It was mainly for AIM and talking. It was a slide phone but slid so that the keyboard was showing for texting in chat rooms. Alice, Bella, and I got the original phones in a new condition and got the original screen names. I had a pink, rose color so my screen name was Rose. It was such a coincidence. Alice had the original in aquamarine, so her name was Aqua. Bella got hers in a lavender color and her name was Blush. (The color is like the color of the dress she bought for the dinner.) There were only six originals and I didn't know who got the other three. They must have been very lucky to get them. We just had connections because my father are friends with the person who owned the company and they loved Bella, Alice, and I, so they decided to give it to us as gifts. Who doesn't love us?

I looked at the time. "Alice, we better get to Bella soon because we took about thirty minutes. Alice rushed out leaving me behind as soon as those words left my mouth. It took me a second to realize that she was leaving me. I quickly ran after her. I saw Alice standing in the middle of the room looking confused. I watched her as she stormed to our table and saw her shaking Bella out of her daze. She was clearly annoyed. I reached the table.

"Wait, what time is it?"she asked not wanting a reply only to check her phone. "How come you never answered my texts?"Alice commented. "I...umm..,"she trailed. "Sorry, it's just that I kinda tripped and had to collect my stuff that was all over the floor,"Bella confessed. "Here are your drinks though." Alice's anger evaporated like just how it came as she looked at her frappe with thirst. She grabbed it and danced back to the Porsche. "Ok..."I stated as I wondered why she had so many mood-swings. She was never moody. I glanced at Bella with a confused look as I walked but saw she was still daydreaming. "What's wrong with everyone today?"I thought. "It must have to do something with the coffee." I just couldn't figure out why Bella was weird. She was usually so down to earth and would be shaking me out of my dazes. I quickly grabbed my latte.

It was an all too quiet drive home and Bella wasn't even complaining about my driving as usual. Alice was quiet too. It was kind of normal for Bella to be quiet but not so much for Alice. I decided I was going to ask them at home when we get to the room across from mine.

I slowly turn the door knob and stepped out of the car. I quickly sped into the house and noticed no one was home. "Good,"I thought. "More time to question them." I went and sped up the cream-colored carpet and past the pictures of us when we were little. I opened the brown door and took the scenery in. It was a beautiful, wide room with light blue walls and while cream-colored carpets. There was a big flat screen tv on the west wall and a view of the ocean in the north. On the west hallway, there was a hall to our walk-in closets. On the east hall was a hall to a kitchen specially made for this room. I remembered the times when we used to throw sleep overs with our friends Maddie, Bri, and Kayla. We would stay up all night and watch movies and play games such as truth or dare. I chuckled when I remembered the stunts Alice would pull when she would pick dare.

I made my way in there and set my bag down as I stood and turned around. I glared at them and told them to shut the door. "Alice, confess now." I motioned them to sit over on the carpet and pointed to Alice. "Start and no lies." "Fine, I'm so happy about seeing my brother again and I'm a little nervous about college. Ok, now what about Bella? Doesn't she have to confess?" Bella blushed and glared at the floor. "Of course, now Bella, spill" I couldn't imagine why it was so embarrassing for her to tell us. She opened her mouth. Vibration. She looked relieved but confused. She slowly took out her cell phone, biding her time. She took it out with a shocked expression and showed us her cell. It was the original Emerald-colored one. "How...?"I stammered. Bella just shook her head in a daze while Alice remained unfazed and quickly stole the phone.

"Well, you just got a text message from your phone..."Alice trailed. "That sounded weird." I smiled but being rather nervous for Bella. I watched the conversation on the screen.

Italics is Bella Italic and bold is the other person

blush: Umm, I think we switched...

emerald(Bella): Yeah, I think so too... How are we going to switch back?

Blush: I don't know exactly. Maybe I go to the same school as you. I go to fill in the blank (I still need a name for the school...Any suggestions??)

emerald: Oh, I'm going there too. We could trade them there!

blush: Yeah, that's a good idea.

" Bellaaaaa!!"Alice screeched. "What is all this talk about trading?" Alice looked at me. I mirrored her confused expressions. "Bella, talk to that person later ok? Right now you have to tell us what happened while we were in the bathroom!"I demanded. Bella looked crestfallen.

Emerald: Umm.. I have to go now! We'll just discuss this later because my annoying (I smacked her on the arm) Ow... I mean best and nicest friends are pestering me to tell them about our encounter.

Blush: Laughs, ok. Don't worry, I'm in the same situation here. My so called friends are smacking me and teasing me until I tell them about it. They keep jumping to conclusions!

Emerald: Well, I guess this is bye...for now. ("Owww..."Bella screamed and glared at me. "Wasn't me,"I said in an innocent voice and glared at Alice. Alice looked at us sheepishly "You are taking to loooong and the suspense is killing me!"she whined. Bella sighed.)

Blush: For now...

Bella logged off.

We both stared at Bella intently until she burst out laughing nervously. She quieted down when we glared at her. Trust me. When Alice and I glare, it's fierce. "Where should I start?" she partly asked herself and us. "Maybe from the beginning,"Alice said sarcastically. I smirked as Bella blushed. "Ok."

Flash back...

Sorry for cliffie but I need ideas for the encounter. I think that will be the name of the next chapter. The dinner will be on the chapter after that one. Any ideas for the banquet? Ideas for the encounter? Sorry this chapter was a little lame because I didn't know how to start the conversation without it being awkward. It is awkward now though... Well, please read and review. It's pretty obvious though. Here's a poll. What should the person be getting when he (yes it's a he) is in the line at the café? He's also with his friends also so he's just like Bella getting something for his friends too. Review and tell me! Your votes matter!

A. Smoothies( if so what kind?)

B. Coffee (again, what kind?)

C. Other ... which is what?

Or

D. All the above which is one smoothie, coffee, and another type of drink? Remember to tell me which kind though! I also need suggestions for the school and you will get credit for it!
