Chapter 12: Text messaging
After Edward left I decided I should try to get to know Sheryl. We talked a little and she told me some stories about when she and Charlie were younger. It seems they grew up together and then went their separate ways in high school. It turns out she's actually nice although I still think she's trying too hard. After talking to her I went up and got ready for bed then sat there staring at my phone.
RING- come on just one little ring. Urg okay so I can't make Edward my phone ring. I had started reading my favorite book- Wuthering Heights when I heard message received.
Save me! Alice has officially gone crazy… I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to last.
Me: Well I would say you could come over here…..but we spend too much time together.
Ha I knew that I didn't like his new plan but I can't wait to make him hate it. (Evil Smile)
Edward: I knew my plan would backfire
Me: You should have listened to me… ;)
Edward: Oh well…I guess it's too late now…. Alice says she wants you to be at the house early in the morning.
Me: Do I want to ask why?
Edward: I doubt it. It involves an 8 letter word.
Me: ugh shopping.
Edward: Bingo. She wants you guys to go shopping for the wedding.
Me: Are you sure Rosalie wants me to go?
Edward: Of course. You're Emmett's sister and she knows how important you are to him and she also knows how important you are to me.
Me: Really? Because I wouldn't mind staying home…
Edward: You could but I'd say no to Alice AFTER I become a doctor. I wouldn't want you to make her angry.
Me: Good point.
Edward: You should get some sleep. It's already 1 and you have to be at the house early.
Me: Alright. Night
Edward: Sweet dreams Bella.
Me: they'd be better if you were here…. *hint hint*
Edward: Nice try
I decided to try a little harder to get some sleep but I kept tossing and turning. All of a sudden I came up with a brilliant plan…
(THE NEXT MORNING)
Something was flying at me, high speed. I quickly put my head under my pillow only to discover that what hit me was soft. I looked up to see half of my closet thrown on my floor.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!" I yelled.
"Don't worry Bella. I brought you clothes to wear today. After all, you said you needed my help."
"Alice! Not with my wardrobe!"
"Um…sorry to disappoint you but I've looked through your entire closet. The only clothes that you don't need help with seem to be the ones that I bought… you know the ones with the tags still on them."
I instantly turned red. "I told you. I don't need new clothes mine are just fine."
"Bella hear me out. You asked me to keep you distracted and make sure that you give Edward his space right? Well here's the plan- We're going to play Bella Barbie and I will teach you how to properly put makeup on. Then we are going to transform your closet. After that's finished we are going to make Edward insanely jealous because you are hanging out with your friends looking like that." She said smiling triumphantly.
"Hmm…" After I thought about it, she does have a good idea. "Okay but here's the conditions. 1 None of my clothes get thrown away. 2 I don't want to push Edward further away, just mess with him a little- a taste of his own medicine. 3 I don't want to wear a ton of makeup- just a little to bring out my features 4. I can change these conditions at any moment. 5. Edward can not find out about this. Got it pixie?"
"I only agree with #2 and #5." She said stubbornly.
"Okay. I guess I'll do this on my own." She got that look in her eyes, the one when she was having a vision.
"Fine I agree to all of the conditions, but only because of the vision I just had. You were completely lost without me. Rosalie, come on we're leaving!"
Rosalie was in Emmett's room. We were soon in Alice's car and on our way to the mall. Our mission: To find bridesmaid dresses along with the other necessities needed to carry out my plan. Oh and I do mean necessities- there's no way I'm letting Alice take full control over this operation.
