13. Shopping choices

The first week of the school passed really quickly. We were all having such a great time here in our own little apartment. School was going great, even though I was a little nervous for our performance on the Thursday that was coming. Lauren had spent nearly every second of the day tagged along to my arms, asking me questions about Edward, which I didn't really want to answer. I hated her even more, now knowing that she was such a hypocrite!

Mike laid off the whole teasing Edward thing and he understood everything that had happened. The other night, Edward and I were talking and he said he wanted to tell me something important. Feeling privileged I asked him to carry on. However, everyone came in the room and then he didn't get a chance to tell me. After that, I've just been wondering what it is but I haven't pushed him to tell me again, he can tell me when he feels right.

I got out the bathroom and was now changed into a baggy Eminem top, which was black and silver and I had black baggy stonewashed jeans on. I put my cap on and headed downstairs. I had a huge smile on my face. Sunday was my favourite day! A whole day of chilling out and nothing else to worry about.

As soon as I came in sight, everyone greeted me with a hello and good morning but Alice said,

"Oh My God Bella what the hell do you think you are wearing? We are not going shopping with you dressed like that."

Oh no, she did not just mess up my day.

"Shut up Al. Let me have a decent day please without you whining." Edward laughed, choking on his juice a little while Jasper rolled his eyes at Alice. Emmett was too busy scarfing down his breakfast.

"Okay, us girls are going to go shopping today."

"Hmpph." Emmett grunted, as in approval. Edward and I shared a look and laughed.

"He likes his food, eh?"

"It took you a week to notice?" Edward grinned at me. During breakfast we only spoke about random things, and Alice was busy planning a shopping list.

"Okay there is this dance on Friday, the day after Bella and the other dancers have their performances in front of the judges and we need to buy some clothes for that so, come on, cop chop." She got up and clapped her hands together in an orderly manner.

I groaned and sank in my chair.

"God help me." I muttered.

"UP." Alice shrieked. I jumped up and off the table,

"I'm going I'm going. Stupid damn shopping pixie." I muttered under my breath. I heard Edward chuckle as I put on some trainers and grabbed the car keys. Rose ushered me out from the back.

"See you later." I shouted and the next thing I knew, we were sat in my car, I was driving, Rose in the passenger seat and Alice in the back. Rose turned up the music full blast and we all started singing and dancing to Beyonce's Check On It. It was pretty warm today so the roof of my convertible was off. Everyone was looking at us and giving us weird looks as we sang and danced like crazy. I was Slim Thug.

I was doing all the back up parts and acting like a rapper. To add to the fun I even put on a deep manly voice so that I actually sounded like Slim Thug. It was so funny! Alice and Rosalie were doing all the right parts, flinging there arms here and there and going wild in my poor car. They were singing perfectly along to Beyonce's voice. This song was one of Alice's favourites and it was really cool, even though I sometimes preferred classic music to Alice's music. As we were singing a car parked up next to us in the traffic line, followed by loud wholf-wistles. I turned around to look at Rose and Alice. They all looked as pissed as me.

"Rock on Babes," came a voice. I was about to glare and say something really rude to them stupid guys when my gaze met with an amused pair of green emerald eyes. I gasped and so did Rose but Alice just giggled like crazy. I blushed and pushed my cap even further down my face so that no one could see my deep red blush spreading across my face. How embarrassing! But no one else didn't seem as bothered about it or as embarrassed I was. Rose was snickering and Emmett was whistling and shouting things at Rosalie in a very flirtatious manner, Jasper was shaking his head at Emmett's ridiculous behaviour in public and Edward was laughing so much. I could hear his musical laughter all day but, right now, it wasn't really the time.

"Have a nice time ladies, we'll see you there." Emmett shouted from the roof of the jeep and winked at Rose just as we sped off towards the mall. Rose and Alice were gushing over Em and Jazz and I was laughing at how crazy they sounded.

It was actually really cute.

"Emmett is such a hunk." Rose said, sighing into the space in front of us. She had a far away look on her face. I snorted but thankfully she didn't hear.

"Last night was amazing." She said.

"Ewe Rose, TMI." Alice shrieked from the back and I laughed along with Rose.

"Well, Jazz is so cute." She said. I looked at her through the mirror.

"Ewe Ali, TLI." Rose copied her in the same tone. Alice whacked her arm playfully.

"What is that supposed to stand for?" I asked looking confused. I had heard of Too Much Information but never 'TLI'.

"Too Less Information." She said giggling. I shook my head and laughed at Alice's expression. She actually looked dumbfounded.

"Alice, what's up?" I turned round from the driver's seat to glance at her. Rose and I exchanged a look. What was up with her?

"EEEE." Suddenly we heard a loud shriek and I jumped in my seat.

"Alice, what the hell? You scared the life out of me." I glared at her.

"They are coming shopping with us." She said, bouncing up and down in her seat.

"What?" Rose and I said simultaneously.

"Look." She pointed to the car park, which we had just entered. Emmett was sitting on the car bonnet and was talking to Jasper. Edward was leaning against the side of the Jeep. My breath hitched, man he looked good!

Alice jumped out of the convertible. Rose quickly flung the door open and quickly danced to Emmett who gave her a passionate kiss right in the middle of the car park.

Jasper gave Alice a soft peck on the cheek and hugged her tight. Alice gave a shy giggle. I jumped out of the top of my car. It was a good thing that I wore flat trainers and not high heels otherwise I would have fallen, but as always I jumped out perfectly and landed softly on my own two feet.

Edward grinned and walked over to me.

"Hey," I said and he gave me a quick hug! I felt a bolt of electricity go through me as our bodies met, as soon as he let go I was in shock and had this sudden craving of having to touch him again but that was so wrong, and he probably didn't feel that way anyway. Damn it, why was he so tempting? Why did he have to make my life so much harder for me than it already was?

We walked up to the rest of the group.

"Okay," Alice jumped up and down, "Us girls are going shopping and you guys are going to go shopping but obviously for different stuff. So, we'll meet upstairs at the smoothie machine at around 12.30ish." She said as she dragged Rosalie and me towards the entrance. The boys followed behind us, all chuckling. As we entered I suddenly noticed the big sign on in my favourite sports shop. It read, "New Nike 99 Jeans."

"EEEK." I squealed like Alice as I ran towards my favourite shop. I knew that the faster I was the less chance it was for Alice to stop me.

"Wharrup Bells." Jed called from behind the counter and grinned at me. I ran up to him, I clapped hands with him and bumped shoulders with him. I always greeted him like that!

"I see you got the new jeans." I squealed excitedly. Jed grinned at me.

"Well at least you've got great eyesight." He said. I rolled my eyes and he laughed.

"We only just got the new stock today actually." He said. Smirking at me. Jed had grey eyes and blonde hair. He reminded me of Mike, he had a cute baby face and was a light tanned colour.

"Good, can you get my size please?" I turned around and saw the rest of my family approaching me. "Quick before the pixie attacks me." I pouted at him.

"No problemo." He said as he dived inside the door behind him where all the stock was kept.

"Bella, Bella, Bella." Alice sighed, shaking her head. Everyone else was grinning and smirking at Alice.

"What am I going to do with you?" She had her hands on her head and acted like such a tragedy had taken place.

"Sorry, mother." I backed towards the counter as I saw Alice coming towards me. She nodded towards Rose who nodded back. They shared some sort of signal as they approached towards me, probably to drag me out of my favourite shop.

"JED!" I screamed.

"Chillax B." He said as he came out with the package. He chuckled when he saw me cowering behind a model and Rose and Alice glaring at me. Whether playfully or not, I had no idea! When it came to shopping, things got pretty serious.

"Here." He tossed the package towards me and I caught it. Somehow.

"Cheers." I high fived him and he laughed.

"And who might this be?" Asked a very strained looking Edward. I turned to face him and he looked as if he was debating with himself.

"Jed meet the Cullen brothers. Cullen Brothers, meet my favourite shop keeper." I said as I introduced him. Emmett and Jed began talking quickly and Jasper was in the middle of the conversation, looks like they all enjoyed sports then!

"Bella, you're lucky you got away this time. Honestly, why can't you get a pair of skinny jeans or tank tops rather than this baggy stuff." She said, making a disgusted face at my jeans." Rose giggled and Alice was talking to herself, muttering something quite un-Alicey under her breath. I turned to Edward who immediately smiled at me but it didn't reach his beautiful eyes.

"What's wrong?" I asked him, concerned now.

"Nothing." He replied and this time his smile did reach his eyes making them sparkle.

I turned to Jed and quickly paid him for the jeans. As soon as I had hugged Jed, Alice dragged me out of the shop. He grinned at me and said,

"Have fun."

"Thanks." I muttered sarcastically as Alice dragged me out of the door. I was surprised at how strong Alice was sometimes for such a tiny person!

"Okay, we're off. See ya ladies." Emmett said before kissing Rose and Jasper was having his little moment with Alice.

"For God's sake it's only one hour and a half that they'll be gone." I said chuckling at my weird friends.

"Aw, I'm going to miss you too." Edward pouted, he looked so cute! Suddenly his arms enveloped me and I realised that he was hugging me. Again! My body froze as I felt the electric shock again and quickly hugged him back before he got the wrong impression that I didn't want to hug him. Heck yeah I did! We broke apart and Edward grinned at me, which made my stomach flutter. We said our goodbyes and then we headed off in the separate directions.

A/N: Okay I know its short but its something right!

Okay thanks for everyone who supported me in my "time of need" haha! I love you guys a lot. First of all, I wanted to say that I formally apologise to the Maroon Hoodie Army. I did not realise how important it was for you ;) LOL. So, for that matter, in time to come, Alice will destroy Bella's blue hoodie! Haha, that's right, pixie Alice has some evil tricks up hr sleeve!

Secondly, I spoke to my big fanfic sister Carmelina, hehe, and she read my story and she said that our stories were quite smililar but there were also some differences too! So, at least that's out the way. Anyway, who could've known fate would turn things around and give me a big sister!!! Amazing eh?

Also, I will shortly delete my two authors notes, I don't really like them! So that you can have proper chapters and not AN's in between!

Thank you all for you excellent reviews, gosh 101! That's really cool!

I love you guys,

Review this chapter please!

Ans just to mention, Jed is NOT in love with Bella and NEITHER is Mike. Bella just acts like a guy so that is why they like her, you know, she's very tomboy-ish!

Love you all!
