Chappie 2 of Opposites Attract! I will be doing Edward's POV, so for those of you who like reading from his viewpoint, it will come.
On with the story!
Alice POVI ran out the door of the school and headed straight for Edward's bright, shiny silver Volvo. I perched myself on the hood of the car as I waited for him to come out.
"Alice! I've told you thousands of times not to sit on my baby!" Edward called. "Oh yeah! I'm so sorry Eddie." I said sarcastically. Edward grimaced at the nickname he hated, and ruffled my dark spikes. He took out his keys and chirped the car, unlocking it. I got in the passenger seat and buckled up. Edward flipped through a bunch of CDs in his glove compartment and finally pulled out his Debussy CD, as I had expected. He had gotten me hooked on classical music ever since we were 3 years old, when he started playing piano. Edward hit play and the beautiful melody of Clair de Lune filled every inch of the car. Edward rested his head back on the headrest.
After a few minutes of sitting in silence, I finally broke. "What are we waiting for?!" I cried, making Edward jump. "What?" He asked, confused. "Why are we just sitting here?! Let's get going! I gotta get home and get ready for my shopping trip with Bella! There's so much to do!" "Jeez! Relax! I'm just waiting for Emmett." He said trying to avoid getting me even more impatient. "He didn't tell you? Urgh. He's at football try-outs! Now step on it!" I yelled as I turned the key in the ignition and stomped on the gaz pedal. "Whoa! What's the rush Alice! Gosh, you're insane!" Edward asked, shocked by my impatience. "What did the music make you deaf?" I cried. "I said I have to get ready for my shopping spree with Bella, and you know how I get when I loose valuable shopping time!" "Yes ma'am!" He said, knowing full well what I meant. With that, Edward pulled out of his parking space and sped out of the lot.
We got home pretty fast considering Edward's driving, to which I was grateful. As soon as we pulled into the driveway, I sprung from the car and ran into house. "Wow Ali! Where are you in hurry to get to, honey?" My mom asked as I zoomed past her in the kitchen. "Shopping." Was all I said and she automatically understood. As I ran up to my room, Edward chucked an apple my way, knowing I needed something to munch on as I prepare my shopping extravaganza. Catching it with one hand, I thanked him and bolted into my room.
I dumped my school bag on my computer chair and ran strait for my closet, or as Edward, Jazz, Emmett, Rose and Bella liked to call it, my own personal mall. Opening the double doors, I flipped on the light and a giant smile lit up my face. I walked through the aisles and aisles of clothes until I got to a rack labelled Evening Dresses. (Note: the rack says EVENING Dresses…not "dresses". Hint, hint). I stood at the middle of the neat row of colourful dresses and pushed them aside to both ends of the rack, leaving a huge gap in between. That space would soon be filled by the new dresses I would be buying tonight with Rose and Bella. I intended to fill the whole gap. I moved on to another section of my closet to the Evening Shoes area. I did the same with my shoes as I did with my dresses. I spent the next half-hour organizing my jewlery selection, my accessories and putting away the clothes from my shopping trip last week. I had just folded the last shopping bag and put it in a drawer when Edward knocked on my door.
"Alice? Can I come in?"
"In the 'mall'!" I called. Seconds later, Edward rounded the corner and sat in the vanity chair in the corner of my closet. "What's up?" I asked. Edward looked down, ran his hands through his horribly unmanageable golden locks and fumbled with the seam of his shirt. "Ummm…uh well, I-I just was wondering if, you know, you could, maybe…" Was Edward…stuttering? Is the cocky and mighty Edward Cullen…nervous? What could he be so nervous to talk to me about? We talk to each other all the time about practically everything. We have a really strong brother-sister bond, along with Emmett.
"Edward? What is it? You're freaking me out with all your stammering. You're never nervous to ask me anything." "Alright. Well, you know how I date a lot of girls?" He asked hesitantly. "You? No! Really?" I said, raising my hand to my mouth in fake shock. "Seriously, Alice. Well, the thing is, I actually have my eye on this one girl who, from what I can tell, either hates my guts or just doesn't know I'm alive. I'm really hung up on her and I can get her out of my head! She is all I can think about! She never leaves my mind. Ever! I don't think I'll be able to get over her and I desperately want to be with her! I can't help it! She's the most beautiful girl I have ever laid eyes on. She is so genuine, unlike any other girl I've ever met in my whole life! Whenever I look at her my palms start to sweat, my heart rate speeds up to the point where I think I'll go into cardiac arrest, and if I want to be with her I definitely can't have a heart attack get in the way, and…" His words got faster and his voice got shriller by the second. "Whoa! Edward! Deep breaths." I said in a calming tone. "Now, are you telling me you have a huge crush on one specific girl? You're telling me she makes your heart race and beat out of your chest? You're telling me that this one girl you are crazy for doesn't know who you are?" I asked. Edward simply nodded. I thought about the information I was given for a moment, and a light bulb lit up brightly in my head. I smiled at him proudly, knowing I had figured out what was up with him. "Sweetie, I don't think you have a crush on this girl." He stared at me in confusion. "Care to explain then?" He asked, getting impatient. "Well, Edward it seems to me that you're…in love with her." I said, beaming. "What? Really?" He asked, completely shocked. I rolled my eyes. "Are you kidding me? The girls you usually go out with are mostly sluts and you even admit you don't even know why you date them. Then suddenly this one girl makes you feel all, well…different. I'm telling you! You're in love!" I said giddily "Yay! Finally the "idiot fog" has lifted and you've found the perfect girl!" "Oh my God…" Edward whispered. "You're completely right Alice! Oh my gosh! I am desperately in love with her!" That struck a question in me. "Who's this her? Huh?" I inquired. Edward touched his index finger and thumb together and ran them against his lips in the "closing the zipper" motion and threw away the invisible key. "Awwww! Come on! Why won't you tell me?" Edward simply shrugged and walked out of my room. As my eyes followed him out of the room, they landed on my nightstand, where my clock radio was situated.
3: 17.
About ten minutes before I gotta pick up Bella. Well, always better to be early than to be on time…when it comes to shopping. (A/N: I know she says that a lot, but hey, that's Alice!)
I grabbed a few articles of clothing that would be perfect to wear for the shopping spree. A black cropped leather jacket, a fuschia ruffle tank top, and a pair of grey skinny jeans and cute, simple fuschia ballet flats to match my top. I quickly changed into my outfit and grabbed my favourite light pink Louis Vuitton purse with gold, pink and purple accents off the shelf that held my long, extensive collection of purses. I added a purple, green and blue plaid scarf to add a little flair to my ensemble and I was out the door. (Pics of clothing on my profile.)
I jumped down the stairs to the kitchen and grabbed a couple of energy bars…for Bella. She needs an energy boost every half-hour whenever she goes shopping with Rose and me.
I ran to my mom and gave her a quick kiss to her cheek. "See ya mom! Don't wait for me to eat dinner. I'll be with Bella and Rose most of the night because the mall closes extra late today! Oh, and tell Dad I say 'Hi' when he gets home" "Alright Alice! Have fun! Be safe when you're driving!" She called. "Will do!" I called back.
I opened the door to our massive garage. I walked passed Emmett's Jeep…man, that thing needed a wash, my dad's black Mercedes S55 AMG, Edward Stupid shiny Volvo S60, and finally came up to my canary-yellow Porsche 911 Turbo. Edward got me this beauty last Christmas. It's one of the reasons why I love him so much. Kidding! I unlocked my car door and settled into the jet black leather seat. I inhaled the sweet aroma of my car and smiled. I put the key into the ignition and the Porsche purred to life. With a smile of satisfaction plastered on my face, I pressed the garage door opener and, right away, sped toward Bella's house for a hell of a shopping spree!
