B POV
I yawned as I woke up from a deep sleep. I didn't even remember what I had been dreaming about, except that it had been about Alice. I know it's because I like her, but was it really healthy to dream or think of a person this much? But I didn't feel unhealthy. In fact I felt as healthy as ever. Alice's peppy attitude is rubbing off on me.
Charlie had already left for work, and I had gotten up early, so I decided to take a longer shower than usual. I wanted to stay this tranquil for as long as I could. Not that I wasn't at peace around Alice, but I was a bit nervous. Was she ever nervous around me? It never looked like it.
After a long shower, I ate my cereal and headed out to my truck. I put the key in the ignition, and turned it, only to hear a stuttering sound and then nothing. I tried again several times only to get the same result. I stepped out of my truck and looked at my watch, and realized I had been trying to get my truck started for longer than I'd thought. I still had a reasonable amount of time to get to school on time. If I was driving. Right now walking seemed like my only option. That is until a silver Volvo stopped right in front of my house.
Alice rolled the window down and poked her head out. "Hi Bella!" She greeted, as cheerful as ever. "I was wondering if you wanted to ride to school with me?" She asked.
"Alice, you are a life saver."
"Why?" She asked, confused.
"Because, my truck broke down just before you came here."
Well then come on, we don't want to be late." I got in the passenger seat.
So, as your savior, do I get a good morning hug?" She asked. I blushed, and she leaned over to hug me. I was able to wrap my arms around her, even though my thoughts weren't really coherent. God, she smelled so nice. I didn't want to let go. But I managed to force myself away at an appropriate time. After I had pulled back and looked at her face she looked almost disappointed that I had pulled away, but then she smiled again and continued to drive us to school.
"No offense, but your truck doesn't seem that reliable. For starting up at least." She commented as we pulled into the school parking lot. "Hey, my truck is old enough to be your car's grandfather. Respect your elders." She starting giggling at that, and I couldn't help but join in. I looked at her face again. She was really beautiful when she laughed. And I almost told her that, but was able to bite my tongue at the last second. Alice stopped laughing and started into space for a while, a look of shock on her face. Then she recovered and smiled probably one of the happiest smiles I had ever seen. "Sorry, I just remembered something, it's no big deal." She said, and continued on as if it had never happened. I was curious my she did that. It had happened a couple times before, but she always said it was no big deal, just lost in her own thoughts.
My thoughts were interrupted by Alice. "Come on, we're going to be late." She got out of the car and walked around to my side, opened my door, and practically dragged me out. For someone so small, she sure was strong. People were gossiping all the way to first period about me riding to school with a Cullen.
After class Alice drove me home, chattering about the essay. We were almost finished, Alice having looked up so much information, much more than I had. After the essay was done, would we stop hanging out so much? I must have looked a little sad, because Alice asked me what was wrong. I almost told her, but then decided I would sound too clingy. "Fine, just tired."
So after this essay is turned in" she said. Here it comes. "Do you maybe want to go to Seattle with me? We could go shopping for cloths, and some books." What? She saw the look of confusion written on my face. "What, did you think we would stop being friends after this? Why?" "Well I'm not really all the interesting, or all that fun to hang out with." I admitted. "Isabella Swan, you are one of the most interesting and fun people I've ever met. I hang out with you so much because I like to." At that I think my heart melted a little. Alice really was my best friend. "Thanks Alice." I said.
"So, what do you say? Seattle this weekend?" How could I not say yes. "I'd love to." "Yay!" She squeaked. "We're going to get so many cute clothes!" I wasn't a big fan of clothes shopping, but as long as I got to spend time with Alice I'd get through it. Maybe shopping with Alice would be fun.
I hope you guys like it. :D
