Chapter Two
So someone thought that I was beautiful. Me? Ha. They're either a. deluded, apschyo or blind, b. saying it as a joke or c. never met my sister. I was going for all three.
Who would think that I was beautiful? I knew I wasn't, so what's the point in deluding myself into thinking that too? Kelly was thepopular one, the head cheerleader at high school,who was beautiful and got every and any boythat she saw or wanted in the palm of her handsand who got a cheerleading scholarship tothe same college I had toactually get goodgrades to get into.
I was invisible to everyone except my best friend, and I don't even know why she hung around with me.
Alice Brandon, beautiful, desired and incredibly hyper. She would normally be the type who would hang around with Kelly, and she had met Kelly plenty of times andshe claimed her to be a complete bitch whichhad a massive tree trunk shoved up her ass,and then claimed the stickup her butt stage was way gone.
I remember when I first met Alice, she is my roommate in this collegeand she actually liked me for some reason that I couldn't think of.
I forgot I was just standing on the side of the road again, not having moved an inch since thebeautiful demi-god had left.A carpulled up beside me. It wasn't Kelly three hours late, but in fact Alice.
"Hey, thought you could use a ride home, I just got off of work, hey do you wanna go out tonight! It'll be so much fun! We could go to that new club which has just opened! And I could give you a makeover and everything! You know, if you stop hiding yourself behind that hair and those baggy clothes people can actually see that your pretty." I almost snorted as I got into the car.
Alice seeing my face said, "Okay, you've pushed my limits, I'm going to do what I want to do, I'm not going to have any more resistance from you otherwise I'll give all your books away to charity!"
"Fine!" I huffed.
I half knew she wouldn't do what she said she would do,but I still had my doubts.Alice was usually stubborn and had a spectacular style taste. She was always reading style magazines and usually thought of her own trends. She knew what was hot before it became into the trend, it was kind of half scary, half 'that's how Alice works', it was as if she knew about everything before it happened.
"Yes!" She squealed and then gave an evil smile. "Shopping time!"
"What? Alice, no!"
"No moaning, otherwise those books are going into charity bags as soon as we get to the dorm."
My eyes widened, she wouldn't actually do that...would she?
"Oh yes I would." She said as if she read my mind.
We drove to the mall and she practically had to drag me in there. She was about to drag me into the expensive clothing shops when I put my foot down. "We are not going in there. I can't afford it and you know it. So let's just go home, relax and watch a good movie, okay?"
Alice waved it off with a flick of her hand and a roll of her eyes, "P-lease," Making the word tun into two syllables. "We both know that I'm rich, and that I'm a shopaholic, and that all these shops down here have no baggy clothes. That's why you really don't want to go in here." I was about to open my mouth when she cut me off. "No buts! Another protest or complaint about me buying you stuff and them books will go to charity and any other books you buy from now on, understand?" I nodded my head. "Good. You'll thank me later for this."
After outfit after outfit she piled onto my hands and forced to try on, I still felt that even though they weren't baggy, I still felt ugly and that I wasn't tall enough, standing at a measly 5"4'. After checking my appearance for theumpteenth time, Alice just screeched,"Oh god, stop comparing yourself to Kelly! You're the beautiful one, you're the beautiful Swan Bella! And she knows it, and that's why she makes you feel negative about your appearance so you won't show your beauty, just because she's fake doesn't mean you have to be. You're beautiful Bells, and it's about time you feel that way and stop hiding it. Your sister's pretty, but my god she's nothing compared to you! She's a plastic barbie, where you've got natural beauty! You shouldn't be comparing yourself to Kelly, Kelly should be comparing herself to you!"
I felt tears pricking at my eyes, and even though Alice's words made me feel a little better, her words didn't take any effect on my appearance or ego. "Thank you."
"Now, go back in there, hand me all these outfits and I'll pay for it and no 'But-', or 'I'll pay you back later', I'm paying and that's final."
I did as I was told and we went from shop to shop until I was about ready to die on my feet.
I wanted to complain to Alice millions of times, but everytime I opened my mouth, I could see my precious books piled in bags and being sold at the local charity shop and every other book after that would have the same fate. So I never said anything. Alice knew where to hit me when she wanted me to do something that I didn't want to do.
Alice had basically reinvented a whole new wardrobe for me.
Alice forced me into this hairdressingplace andspoke to the hairdresser about cutting my hair this way and that.
"Disagree with me and your favourite movies go too." She whispered. "It'sfor your own good Bella. Youneed to stop hiding behind this long and lanky hair and get some morevolume into it."
I hat to smile as I saw the results. My hair just a little over shoulder-length and had bangs and layers to go with it. It looked nice on me, but it also stopped me from pulling my hair around my face to hide from the world.
We went into a shop and eventually me and Alice just ended up having a clothes competition, who could find and put on the most ridiculous outfit, and other stupid things, and I finally let my hair down for once. After we were pushed out of the shop she said, "And that's why I love you Bells, because when you're yourself, you're funny, sweet, kind and not to mention fun." Her eyes lit up and her eyebrows rose, all you needed was a lightbulb on top of her head to go with her, 'I just realised something' look."You know there's only one way to give your ego a boost, and thats to date a guy! I know the perfect guy for you, he's shy, definetly cute and doesn't date! He's even turned Kelly down!"
Before she could go on any longer..."One, if he turned down Kelly, he'll turn down me and two, he doesn't date and three, what if I don't want to date him?"
"Oh nonsense," There goes that flick of the wrist when she dismisses something, "You're perfect for each other! You're both smart, he's cute, he's studying to become a doctor, I've known him since high school and he's Jasper's best friend!"Alice was nearly jumping up and down with excitement from all her ideas.
"Alice, I thought Emmett was your boyfriend's best friend? And this is not going to work. Come on Alice, who would want to date me? Let alone the fact that set-ups never work."
"A little faith here wouldn't go a miss."
"I don't want to Alice, you and I both know it's just going to end with me getting heartbroken and my already non-existant ego will just disappear into thin air. He'll choose Kelly over me, they always choose Kelly."
"Just because one boy-"
"One boy? How about every guy I come to like as a friend or meet, Kelly gets thier claws into them and I never hear from them again? Do you know what it's like to be second best at everything Alice? My own mother chose her over me, I don't even know my father. Every single guy likes her better than me, all my old friends liked her better than me, everyone loved her, and everyone just saw me as 'Kelly's little sister' or a nobody, an invisible, someone who couldn't compare to her. Do you know what that's like? How I wake up everyday wishing that I was that much taller, skinnier and prettier? How I want parents who love me as much as they do her or how your parents are both rich and love you too? Alice, you're the only real friend I've had. Everyone just used me to get to Kelly, how will I know that anyone else will do the same?"
I felt the tears slide down my cheek and I felt like chocking. I had never admitted that to anyone, so why now? Because Alice wouldn't choose Kelly over me, she loved me for me.
I felt her small arms hug me and hold me as I started to sob and she whispered calm words into my ear. Once I was calm enough she phoned Jasper to help her out with the bags.
Her dainty hands wiped away my tear marks as I heard Jasper approach and say curiously, "Alice?"
"Kelly." The one word said it all.
I turned my head to hisand saw him nod."I brang Edward too, seeing as we were just heading out when you called."
"You okay?" Jasper asked me.
"I'm fine." I said wiping my eyes a little more. "Just fine and dandy really." I said in a fake voice.
I heard a small chuckle come from my other side and I turned my head, my eyes grew wide and his chuckle immediately stopped. I was looking into the same green eyes I had seen earlier today.
