Hey everyone. I'm sorry about the wait for the update but I've been crazy busy with classes because all I do is run from my apartment to my classes and then back again with different stops to work and say a hi and bye to my family.

So please forgive me for the delay.

I wanted to say thank you for those few of you that reviewed. Though this is just a small little project to do between my major stories I still love reading reviews both good and bad. And also thank you for those of you who has added this story to your alert list. Lastly thanks to those who have somehow managed to read 'A New Life' and has added it to their favorites, it means a lot mostly since that was really my first story that I did.

FYI, Alice may seem a bit pushy or bossy in this chapter, but as she says she has much to do and little time to do it in.

Disclaimer: Obviously I'm not SM since I chose to have a Geekward rather than a perfect Edward lol

EPOV

It was Thursday and I was waiting in the library for Alice and Bella. I was wondering if Bella was even going to be here because I didn't see her since before lunch. I tried to look my best today for her. So I wore my beige dress shirt that had dark brown checker print. Also, I had my navy dress pants pressed to perfection with black dress shoes and I even had a new pocket protector on. I finally got some new glasses and they were spotless. Everything one me looked perfect, well except my hair, that would never look perfect unless I shaved it all off.

I looked down at my watch and heard the chair across from me being pulled out. Quickly, I snapped my head up hoping to see Bella. Instead I saw Alice sitting down.

"Oh," I said once I noticed Bella wasn't anywhere with her.

"You sure know how to greet a lady Edward," she replied sarcastically.

"Sorry, I was just umm…"

"Hoping to see someone else?" she asked as she raised an eyebrow at me.

"No, I mean I'm tutoring you aren't I?"

"And Bella."

"Yeah, Bella too. By the way…where is she?"

"Hospital," she shrugged.

"What? What happened? Is she okay? Is it serious? Maybe you should be with her since you're friends. Why are you so nonchalant?"

"Jacob Black happened. She skipped out on school for lunch to hang out with him. But they ended up going up to Port Angeles to do something called Extreme Running or Free Running or something like that. Long story short, Bella's clumsy, she always gets hurt, she should've known better, and it's nothing serious," she shrugged.

"Are you sure you shouldn't be with her? What did she do?"

"I'm not totally sure, but she has a broken arm so now she's broken both arms in her lifetime."

"Okay…so…do you still want to have the tutoring session?"

"Actually I'm getting an A in biology. But I guess we still can have a tutoring session," she said as she looked at me as if seeing something that wasn't there.

"What do you mean? If you're getting an A then you don't need any tutoring."

"No, but you do," she smirked as if she saw something that no one else could.

"Not to brag, but I have a perfect in that class so I don't need to be tutored; and that's the same with all my other classes."

"Edward, Edward, Edward," she tisked, "not all learning has to do with school." I just looked at her confused as she stood up gathering her things. Once everything was put away she stood there staring at me. "Aren't you coming?" she asked in a duh voice.

"Coming where?"

"The mall…duh, so hurry up and gather your things we're wasting time," she sounding annoyed.

"Why are we going to the mall?"

She sighed frustrated, "For me to teach you some things. And can't you gather you're things and ask questions at the same time so that we can at least multitask as we do this?"

"Umm ok," I said gathering my things quickly. Once I did she grabbed my arm and drug me to the parking lot.

"We're taking your car since it has more trunk space that my Porche," she told me as she walked to my car with me behind her. Once she did she stood there by the passenger seat as I fumbled trying to get my keys out. I finally did and unlocked the car letting her in as I threw my stuff in the backseat.

"Okay so why the mall?" I asked starting my car.

"First we definitely have to get rid of this," she said as she grabbed my pocket protector throwing it out the window before I could protest. "But to answer your questions it's because I am going to tutor you about the fashion world my fashionless friend," she smiled at me.

"Alice I'm fine I don't need any more clothes. Besides the ones I have are fine," I shrugged.

"Whatever you say Edward. The ones you have work, but I'm gonna get u a better wardrobe and teach you how to dress. I mean the way you dress is…okay, if you're running to be the Mathlete president but—"

"But I am the Mathlete's president," I said interrupting her.

"Ummm…ok…anyways we need to update your wardrobe. And I haven't been able to shop in a while and I need to before I explode."

"You need to shop?"

"Yeah…shopping to me is like educational work or the Mathletes are to you. You do it because you're good at it as well as like it. In my case love it."

"Oh…okay. Well…I guess that could make sense," I replied as I drove.

"Before we get there we have to go through some terms so you can keep up and we have more time to shop so I'm not standing there trying to explain something to you," she said as she pulled her cell phone out texting someone as she started to explain to me some, what I guessed was, fashion terms.

"Wait, Alice, slow down. How does anyone ever understand you?"

"It's called keep up or play catch up Cullen. I don't have enough time to go through everything before today is over. So listen closely and you won't be left behind."

"Okay, okay," I replied.

So I kept driving as she kept talking a mile a minute. Though I was mostly able to be able to hear something and then get it fairly easily, I'm not used to have people talk as if they were in a marathon.

When we reached the mall Alice ran over to my side, threw my door open and then proceeded to grab my shirt pulling me in the direction of the mall. I was barely able to get my keys out of the ignition to be able to lock it.

She didn't let go of me until we were in some kind of clothing store. The only reason she let go of me was to grab clothes to throw at me to hold. As she did all of this she would keep talking telling me about the clothes she was grabbing for me and why she was doing it.

"Alice?"

"And then you need to understand the conditions to be able to wear certain colors and then just what kind to never wear. Because believe me there are some that should've never been invented—" she kept rambling on.

"Alice?!" I yelled getting the attention of everyone in the store and she just stared at me as I smiled at the people staring at both of us. Slowly they went back to what they were doing before. "Alice," I said calmer this time, "why do I need these two shirts?" I asked as I help up two blue shirts that were pretty much identical.

"Edward, Edward, Edward, have you not been listening to anything I've been saying?"

"How can I understand you when you talk so quickly?"

She sighed aggravated. But then she looked as if she was trying to figure something out. You could see the wheels turning and things clicking as she stood there for a second thinking.

"I got it! I'll just write everything down and then email it all to you tonight. That's even better because then I can have Rose help me as well. This is going to work so much better. So for now you hold as I pile clothes on," she commanded as she threw more clothes into my arms.

So the day went as followed: go into store, hold clothes, go into changing room trying the clothes on, buy the ones that worked and then repeated at the next store. Once we were finally done I had too many bags to count with way too many new clothes to even think about putting away when I got home later.

But of course being me I hung up and put all the clothes away immediately because I just couldn't stand looking at the bags, I already had buyer's remorse the second they handed me the filled bags. And besides if they were just left there in the bags they would get ruined and I would have to iron them, because the cashiers in the stores don't know how to fold clothes properly.

When I got done with that very long task, as I also emptied out my closet a bit or else it wouldn't all fit, I checked my email and just as promised Alice emailed me with all the fashion rules as well as what I was, again, commanded to wear tomorrow.

I printed out the many rules, using my 3-hole puncher so I could put them in a binder so that I could keep referring back to them, because God knows I would need to. After I did that I sat the binder on my nightstand so I would remember to read it before I went to bed.

Thankfully my mom made a huge meal and I was starving after a long day. Really, I couldn't understand or see why girls enjoyed that so much. I couldn't find one thing fun about it the entire time we were there. I wish Alice would give me a guide on how girl's minds thoughts.

Once I was done with everything else and reading 'Alice's guide to fantastic fashion', I turned the light off, rolled over and went to bed. Only in sleep were my nerves calm about what I would be doing tomorrow.

I hoped you all enjoyed it and keep staying with me. And again, I have to apologize for any mistakes there may have been. And with that apology goes out a announcement that I am looking for a Beta to help correct my work, keep me motivated to update and write as well as help me with little ideas for the stories that I have planned. So if yu want to try out your hand at Betaing just send me a message and I'll back to you ASAP.

And if you want to see what Free/Extreme Running is just go to my profile page and check it out. Or you can also watch Paul Blart: Mall Cop because the robbers that do the crazy jumping from the stairs and high things and all that, that's what it is. Also, if you haven't seen any of them I have links to the 'Hillywood show' because they did parodies on Twilight and New Moon (persoally I thought both were pretty good) and also I have a link to 'How Twilight Should've Ended' (which I loved lol)

If you ever have any ideas or things you want to see let me know and I'll try to get it in, because though I'm writing these stories because I like to and to make more room in my brain, I also write them for the readers, becasue without the readers there would be no story. (Damn that sounded really cheesy lol.)

Please Please Please review.
