"Come on, Bella! If we don't go now we won't make it there in time." Alice whined at me from the driver's seat. I rolled my eyes. That girl was really impatient; a few more minutes would not kill our schedule. It was the day we were leaving for Dartmouth, and apparently we need to leave right now or else, actually I don't really know what we were in a hurry for.
So I was saying my goodbyes to Charlie. I had spent the last week in my room packing all my worldly possessions, not that I had as much as Alice; it was still a lot to go through. Who knew I had so much junk. Even though, I'm not taking it all with me right now, I didn't especially want Charlie packing up the stuff I left before he shipped it in the fall. I'm only taking my clothes and a couple other things I might need. Seeing as we wouldn't get our apartment until close to the beginning of school, and we are staying in someone else's house, we decided we only needed the bare essentials. Which to Alice is almost everything she owns, seeing as she still had to hire a moving van to take all of her clothes?
I gave Charlie an awkward one- armed hug, as per usual, and told him I would see him soon. I didn't know when exactly but, I guess that's what's expected of me to say. As much as I hated it in Forks, I was going to miss Charlie; I mean he is still my dad and all. So, I turned and walked down the short driveway and hopped into the passenger seat of Alice's canary yellow, Porsche 911 Turbo. I nodded my head that told her I was buckled in and ready, and we were off.
We had already been on the road for about five hours and we were about to stop to get something to eat for lunch. It had been quiet for about an hour now, most of the adrenalin wearing off, probably from our lack of movement. I started to ask Alice something, but had to stop, clear my throat, and restart.
"Hey Alice?" I said.
She looked up startled due to my choice to break the comfortable silence. She looked lost in thought before.
"Yes," she said as her voice crack a little bit, from lack of use.
"Why were you in such a hurry to leave earlier?" I saw something flash in her eyes but it disappeared so quickly that I was starting to think I had imagined it.
"Umm, no reason really. I just wanted to get all the driving over and done with so, we could start relaxing with the guys." She said slowly. I looked at her skeptically.
"And that's the only reason?" I asked pointedly
"Yep!" She said in a happier tone.
"Uh, huh." I stated disbelievingly. She just smiled at me.
"Okay, fine, whatever Ali. If you don't want to tell me, your best friend, who you have to spend days in a car with, then that's just fine with me." I tried to look as if I didn't care, but she could see through my charade.
All she did was smirk at me. "God, you're such a drama queen. If you really want to know, I just see great things in our near future." She said the last thing in a sing-song voice, like a fortune teller. I thought I heard her mutter something along the lines of, "especially yours", but I couldn't be sure.
Alice likes to think she can see the future, although she's not really clairvoyant, she seems to always be able to tell someone's future. She doesn't know specific dates, people involved, etc.., but she can tell if you're going to be happy, sad, and heartbroken. Things like that. It's also pretty creepy when she's right, which she generally is, but still it would freak you out if you hadn't been hanging around her for years.
"Me, a drama queen?" I scoffed. "Says the girl who held a funeral for her favorite pair of shoes." I laughed. She looked shocked for a second, and then scowled at me.
"Hey, you know me and shoes, it was sad when they broke. And plus, I bought them in Italy."
"You know you could have saved them longer if you didn't wear them every day, plus you could have saved you feet. You wouldn't have had so many blisters if you didn't wear them for three months strait."
She shrugged off the last comment, "fashion, has its price."
I just rolled my eyes and chuckled softly, we fell into comfortable silence once again.
I suddenly woke, probably because the car stopped moving and saw that we were at a gas station somewhere. Alice wasn't next to me, so I figured she was outside filling the car up. That is until I herd a sharp tapping on my window, causing me to jump and almost hit my head on the roof of the car. Then I saw it was only Alice who was laughing her head off. I scowled at he, but that only made her laugh harder.
"You suck, Alice. You know that right?" I asked after getting out of the car.
"Well good morning to you too." I rolled my eyes.
"Where are we anyway?" Suddenly realizing, I had no clue as to where I was or even what time it was.
"We are a couple of miles away from Jasper and Emmett's place." She said happily, no wonder she was so hyper.
"So why are we stopped? We just stopped for gas about an hour and a half ago."
"Well, we can't arrive, in the clothes we traveled in. It would make a bad first impression." She said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"What do you mean bad first impression; we're not meeting anyone new. Its just Emmett and Jasper we are talking about." I was confused
"The trip must have wiped your brain, Bella. Don't you remember the guys have a roommate?"
"Oh yeah, I did forget. Oh well, I have nothing to change into anyway, since you insisted on me putting all my stuff in the moving van with your stuff. And the rest of my clothes are dirty."
"Bella, Bella, Bella." She shook her head in mock disappointment.
"Have you no faith in me?" she feigned hurt.
"Do you actually think I would let you wear anything in that duffle bag you packed? I mean come on, first encounters here." She looked shocked, but I knew it was just a ploy.
"All the stuff you brought in for hanging out in not meeting new people." She sighed exasperated.
"Fine, what are you forcing me into? It had better not be heels." I warned her fiercely, or so I thought.
"Don't worry its not just give me a second."
She popped the trunk and started digging around in her suitcase for something. A few minutes later she emerged with a pair of grey Capri's that ties at the bottom of the leg, and a light blue, v-neck, tank top. The tank top was braided at the collar and hung loosely. It actually looked very comfortable. She then handed me a pair of silver flip flops. They had a very low, almost nonexistent heel, they were really simple which made me like them even more.
I smiled and took them from Alice before going into the restroom to change. I splashed water on my face a couple of time to make sure I was fully awake. I looked in the mirror and when I saw my hair, I figured I would just let Alice handle it, so I put it into a sloppy pony tail, gathered my stuff and walked out. I was just about to exit the building when I ran into something, or rather someone.
Soooooooooo, what do you think? Am I evil or what? Anyway, for anyone who doesn't hate me right now, I would really like to know what you guys think about it so far!!!!! Please!!!!!!!!! Oh, and if you have any questions about the story, feel free to PM me or whatever!
