Chapter 8 - The Good Life according to Alice

Two days worth of cleaning and I had finally gotten through Charlie's bed room. He had a lot of stuff. It was Monday night. 8:00 pm. I had to go to school tomorrow. Alice said I had a choice and I was not ready to go today. I admitted to myself earlier that I was a chicken and wasn't able to face all the new faces giving me sympathy looks. I was brave, but not that brave.
I went into my room and went through my microscopic wardrobe. Everything I had brought with me was still at the Cullen's house, or it was to reveling for Forks. I sighed. Deciding I had enough money to go out and quickly buy an outfit, I ran downstairs. As I reached the bottom of the stairs, some one knocked the door. I quickly ran to the door and opened it to reveal Alice.
"Hey Bella! I realized we never went on our shopping trip! So, are you up to it?" Alice said bouncing up and down a little bit not being able to stand the suspense.
"Uh," I really wasn't up for going somewhere with Alice, but I couldn't turn her down. She would probably cry if I said no. "Sure Alice I was just gonna go anyway."
"Yay! Come on we gotta hurry!" she said as she grabbed my wrist and rushed me out of my house. I silently thanked god that it wasn't the one with the brace on it. The two of us made our way to the car. Actually it was more like Alice dragged me to the car. When I saw the Porsche and I stopped dead.

"What is it with the expensive fancy cars?" I asked and Alice laughed. Her laughter reminded me of bells ringing.

"I wouldn't be caught dead in something that was rusty and slow. That would be a sin," she explained and I couldn't help but laugh. Even though I didn't want to associate with the Cullens, Alice was making it very, very hard to do that. We got into the car and Alice sped off making me quickly put on my seat belt fearing for my life. Alice turned on some music and it took a second for me to realize what it was.


I'll tell you what we're gonna do,
What you need to know,
What you gotta get to get where you wanna go.
Never ever miss a noun,
Keep your eye on all displays.
When you find your style,
Everyday's a holiday.

I'll show you how to work in,
To find the fit that's perfect.
You know that you deserve it.
(Whoa, whoa whoa!)

This is the good life,
Take a good look have anything you want.
This is the good life,
Dining with your friends at the fancy restaurant.
Living the good life,
We have such a good time,
I know.

"Alice? Why are we listening to Hannah Montana?" I asked in shock and she gave me a look that said I should probably know the answer to this question.

"It's about shopping, Bella. Of course I'm gonna listen to it!" Alice exclaimed, I looked out the window and tried to tune out what I thought was terrible music. I must have offended her because she didn't say a word until we got to the store. Then I spent the rest of the time with her wishing she would be that quiet again.


Eventually Alice dropped me off at home and it couldn't have come sooner, that girl was crazy when it came to shopping. It took me four trips to get all the bags into my room. As I started putting the clothes away I heard Alice's voice in my head talking about how amazing they were going to look on me if, and when, I wore them.

"Go try these on they will look FABULOUS on you!" Alice squealed as she shoved clothes into my arms and pushed me towards the dressing room. I put on the clothes she'd handed me and stared at my reflection.

"Alice I look ridiculous. There is no way in hell I am going to be seen in public like this!" I whined. Honestly I really didn't want to be there, in a dressing room, for three hours. I was already dead tired and I really needed to go to bed if I wanted to go to school in the morning.

"Bella? How many times do we have to go over this? No one ever dressed by me-"

"Looks ridiculous. Yes Alice I heard you the first thousand times." Even though I was dead set on hating the Cullen's there was really no way to hate Alice, even as annoying as she was.

"Good." She started and took a deep breath and then said the longest string of words I have ever heard in my life. "NowyouneedtocomeoutsoIcanseewhatyoulooklikewithyourpileinthereandhowitlooksonyou. Theboyswillbealloveryouintheseclothes. IjusthopeCarlislewillbeokaywiththebillfromhere. It'sgonnabeexpensive!! NowcomeoutsoIcan-"

"ALICE! Do you ever breathe in between words?" I cried and she laughed.

"Breathing is for wimps," Alice replied and I rolled my eyes. "Now get out here so we can get out of here before they close." I sighed and stepped out and Alice screeched in joy.

"I'VE DONE IT AGAIN!"

"Okay Alice. Whatever you say."

After half an hour of putting clothes away I finally was able to go to bed. 12 am. I was never going to be able to get up in the morning. I quickly threw on my pajamas and before my head could even hit the pillow I was out for the night. Or morning I guess.
