(I always forget these) Disclaimer: I own Twilight…………..in my dreams. But in reality the wonder Stephanie Meyer owns it!
Sorry it took me so long to update! I've been really busy, but here's the chapter and I hope you like it!
Previously in Sparks: I laughed, "Thanks Alice. Night."
After she went to bed, I got some water and went upstairs to my room. Right before I went to bed, I imagined what exactly I will do tomorrow. I mean, I didn't have much time to plan it out, but hopefully Alice is right about Bella and I working out. I can sure see it.
Bella POV:
"Bella, Bella, Bella! Wakey-wakey!" I heard before I was even fully awake.
"Alice, its Saturday! Why do I need to be up at," I sat up, looked over the clock and gasped, "6:30!?"
"Silly, silly Bella! I'm taking you on an all day shopping spree! From whenever we get ready until 7:00!" I groaned. I hate shopping.
"7:00 AM?" I asked hopefully but doubtfully.
"Of course not! 7:00PM." She said with an expression saying 'duh'.
"Alice, I really don't have the money right now to be buying a lot of stuff." I said hoping this would change her mind.
She sighed, "I can pay for your stuff. Duh! I'm not going to invite you on a shopping spree and make you buy your own stuff! And I'm not taking no for an answer, because if you do say no, I'll just buy you clothes anyway, don't you at least want input on them?"
Now I'm the one who sighed, "Fine, let me get ready." I said and trudged off to take a shower. I put my I-pod into my doc and turned the water on. I closed my eyes and let the hot water run down my face and body. It felt so good to take a nice hot shower, especially when its so early. I took about a 15 minute shower, wrapped a towel around me and walked back to my room, which I might add, was a mess. Alice was there, with an outfit in her hands.
"Um, Alice, I sorta have to get dressed." I said wondering why she was just sitting there.
"I know. I was just waiting for you to finish your shower so I can give you your outfit!" she held out in her hands the most adorable blue v-neck shirt with a denim skirt. I held up each and saw that the skirt was really short.
"Alice!" I moaned. "I cant wear this! It's way to short." I said.
"Stop being a baby and put it on, then I'll do your hair!" she said with a smile.
There's no use in fighting with Alice, this I have learned so I sighed in defeat. "Fine, I'll be right back." I went to the bathroom to get dressed and then looked in the mirror. The outfit actually made me look good! Alice may be overly hyper, but the girls got taste. I went back to my room and saw Alice with a brush and a hair tie.
"Bella, sit right there!" she said pointing to my desk chair.
"Yes sir!" I said and she glared at me. I just smirked. I sat down and let Alice mess around with my hair. She brushed it then put it in a very tight, high pony tail. Then she did my make-up. She put on a little eyeliner, eye shadow and mascara. After my eyes she put on a nice light pink lip gloss.
Then while putting blush on she said, "We won't need much of this will we? You blush enough as it is." And as if to prove her right I blushed. "See!" she exclaimed. She did one last touch up of my eyes and said, "Okay, look in the mirror."
I went to the mirror on my armoire and gasped. I, plane-jane Bella, looked awesome! I couldn't believe it. My makeup was done perfectly and even my hair looked awesome.
I went over to Alice and gave her a big hug, "Ohmigod! Thank-you Alice, it looks awesome!" I gushed.
"Bella, don't start crying, then I'll have to fix your mascara!" she laughed.
"I'm sorry, it's just, I've never looked this good! I mean, I've gone from a nothing to a something!" I said.
"Wait, wait, wait, backup a minute." She said and I looked at her confused. "What do you mean, you were a nothing Bella?"
"I never looked this good, I mean, I'm not the prettiest girl, but what you've done actually makes me look somewhat attractive!"
"Haven't you noticed all the guys at Forks High staring at you? Not only are you something Bella, your beautiful! Your name fits you well." I just looked at her, "You know, cause Bella in Italian means beautiful."
"N-no, I know what it means. And you're my friend; you have to tell me the good things about me." I said, she couldn't possibly mean everything about me being beautiful.
"No I don't, I really mean it. I can tell you this: you snore loudly, your not a morning person, and your feet can really stink sometimes." She said with laugh. "So, friends tell the truth, not just the good things."
"W-well, thank you." I said and smiled. I cant believe she actually thinks I'm beautiful, I mean look at her!
"No problem! I speak the truth! But we have to go now! Come on it's going to be so much fun!" she said and we were out the door, when I saw the Saab 9-3 in the driveway. "Oh yeah, forgot to tell you, your car came. It's nice I'll tell you that! So do you want to take your car or my Porsche?" she asked.
"Um, can I drive my car?" I asked her. I've never really drove in such a nice car. Even in Arizona I only had a Chevy truck. Don't get me wrong, I loved it and it was sturdy, but this car was just awesome!
"Sure. Here is the key." She said unhooking a key from her keychain. "But, I get to drive on the way back!" she said.
"Thanks! And ok, fine with me!" I said, and while I drove she told me how to get to the mall. Once we got there I was surprised to find that the mall was quite big. I mean in such a small town as Forks, you'd think the local mall would be really small. Once we walked in Alice headed straight towards American Eagle. When we walked into the store, I didn't even have time to say anything to Alice. As soon as we got there she went, "Oh my God, this shirt would be amazing on you!" she said while squealing and holding a black v-neck American Eagle top.
"Bella, Bella! Go try this shirt on now!" she said and pointed to the dressing rooms. I turned to walk away but then heard her calling my name. I turned around and she threw a pair of dark blue jeans at me. "Try those on too!" she called. I turned again and once again heard my name. "And don't mess up your hair!"
I laughed and yelled back, "Okay, I'll be careful." I actually got to the dressing room and tried on the outfit. It actually was pretty cute. Fit my body perfectly. I twirled around in the mirror so I could see all the way around; I then stepped out of the dressing room to show Alice. But Alice wasn't there. I looked around the store and still couldn't find her. After searching for a few minutes I saw her outside of the store wrestling with a gumball machine that must have stolen her change. I laughed and called her name but it was too busy for her to hear me.
I was about one foot from being outside the store when Alice turned around, I smiled and said "I was looking for you," I stepped the last step and then heard. BEEP BEEP BEEP, BEEP BEEP BEEP. Beeping? What's that? At that point I looked down to see I still had clothes on that I hadn't bought! I blushed and noticed a young girl that looked oddly familiar come up to me.
"Hey, what are you trying to steal?" she said in a snooty type way. I could tell she was the type of girl that's one of those snotty popular kids. I then looked at her nametag: Tanya. That's where she looked familiar from! She is Edward's ex!
So instead of answering her question like I should've I lamely said, "Didn't you used to go out with Edward Masen?"
She looked at me, "Yeah, how'd you know?" she asked.
Right then Alice came over to us and put her arm on my shoulder while looking at Tanya. "Hey Tanya, heard the break up went swell with Edward!" she said and smiled a fake-sweet smile.
"Yeah of course" Tanya said sarcastically. "Okay, I'm confused who are you and what were you trying to steal?" she said looking at me.
I opened my mouth to speak but Alice chimed in, "That's Bella Swan, she's going to be living with my family and I due to death in her family. And she wasn't stealing anything! She was looking for me and forgot she was wearing the clothes." I smiled and nodded.
"Oh, okay so you're going to be living with Edward then?" she said.
Once again I opened my mouth to speak but Alice spoke for me. "No, she's only going to be living at my house but not with Edward," she said sarcastically, "Of course she's going to be living with Edward too!"
"So you're probably the girl he broke up with me for! He wouldn't tell me who it was, but he has never liked anyone at school enough to break up with me! This is your fault!" She pointed at me and glared.
"I-I-I," I couldn't even make the right words because I know that he really did break up with her for me.
"Bella," Alice said while glaring back at Tanya, "Let's go buy that shirt and jeans and get the hell out of here." She said, never backing down from her glare at Tanya.
"Fine with me." I said and went back to the dressing room to get back into my own clothes. I got changed and was waiting by the door for Alice to finish buying my clothes and her own accessories she had gotten while waiting for me. While waiting for Alice, Tanya came up to me and quickly said, "You better watch it Swan. I'm one of the most popular girls at school. I have my ways to make your life hell." she then left without another word. I gulped but tried to put on a happy face when Alice came back.
"Ready to get the hell outa here?" she asked while we were walking out the door.
"Most definitely" I said, While we were walking to the next store I said to Alice, "It really was my fault they broke up."
She kept walking and said, "Good, she was cheating on him. I never liked her. She's too stuck up, I mean, you saw how she acted back there. So don't fell bad, if anything you making them break up was a good thing."
"Okay," I sighed, "Where are we going next?" I asked.
"Umm, either Hollister or Abercrombie and Fitch, your choice!" she said perkily.
"I say, lets go to Hollister." I said.
"Okey dokey!" she said in the same cheerful voice. We walked to Hollister and talked about random nothingness the whole way there. Once we got there we looked through all the racks and what was on sale and what was totally unrealistically priced. By the time Alice had made me try on at least 25 different outfits and she trying on another 25, I was exhausted. It had been at least 5 hours and we have been in one store! Alice was still trying on different outfits asking me which one I liked better.
I was slouched up against the wall and Alice asked, "Okay, do you like the blue one or the red one?"
I looked up and said, "The red one."
"Okay! The red one it is! Now I need to go look for more!" she said.
"What?! Alice, it's been over 5 hours, and we each have over 25 outfits just from this store! I think we've been here enough!" I said.
"Just a few more outfits please? I love this store!" she said with a pout and puppy dog eyes.
"Fine a few more outfits." I said losing the battle.
"Yay!" She hugged me, "Thanks Bella!"
"Yup," then I just kept sitting there while she went through all the racks. Who knew that a few more outfits meant 10 shirts, 15 pairs of jeans, 7 pairs of shoes and countless amounts of accessories? Not me! Believe me, I counted every single thing, I was that bored. That took another 2 ½ hours because not only did she look at so many things, she takes forever looking at herself in the mirror.
It was now 4:00 and I was starving! "Alice, lets go!" I complained.
She sighed, "Fine, lets go buy all the stuff." The total came out to be over $2,000! I tried to pay for at least some of it but all Alice said was, "I told you before we even came, I'm buying everything for you. Plus, its not like it don't have the money." She laughed, how it but rock to be rich. Well I guess I sorta am rich now that I'm part of this family. After buying all our stuff and seeing the surprised expression of the young man at the counter we were holding our bags and walking around.
"Is there anywhere to eat around here?" I said, "I'm starving." And as if to show Alice I meant business, my stomach growled.
She laughed, "Yeah, I'm hungry too." We went to the food court and ended up going to some Chinese place. I got sweet and sour chicken with an egg roll and diet coke. Alice got General Tsos Chicken, an egg roll and a diet root beer.
"So, where do you want to go next?" Alice asked while eating.
"Home." I answered.
She laughed, "I meant in the store silly!" she looked at her watch, "It's only 5:00; I told you we would leave at 7:00!"
I sighed, "Why are you so set at leaving at seven?" I asked, I mean seriously, who would care if we went home 2 hours early? I think something is up.
She hesitated, "So, back to my question, where do you want to go now?" Yup, something was definitely up.
"Alice, why can't we leave until 7? Your not telling me something." I said.
"I'm sorry! I can't tell you, it's a surprise, you'll see when you get home," Oh great……..hey I just realized that I have the keys!
"Well, I'm going home." I told her.
"Wait, how will you do—"she stopped talking then said, "You wouldn't!"
I pulled the keys out and said, "Oh I wouldn't would I?" I then grabbed my bags and ran for the car, and not surprisingly, Alice grabbed her bags and followed. I stumbled and tripped a bunch of times but never actually fell down which was very good in this case. I got to the car, popped the trunk open, put my bags in and went to the driver's side. A very out of breathe Alice, soon jumped into the car on the passengers side.
She tried to catch her breathe while I was driving and then said, "Your evil."
"Thanks!" I said and laughed. She laughed along so I'm figuring she wasn't mad at me. I then saw her texting someone on her phone, "Who 'ya textin?" I asked curiously.
She looked at me and smirked, "Oh no one." Then continued to text. Probably Emmett or something telling them we'd be home early.
Surely enough, when I pulled up front the first person I saw was Emmett. "Hey little sisters!" she said. "Back so soon?"
Alice sighed, "Yeah, a certain someone who I will not name *cough cough* Bella, made us leave!"
"Ahh, wow, I'm surprised someone could get Alice to do that," I just laughed.
I went inside and was heading outback. I loved to go outback and just sit around and read Wuthering Heights by the light of my book light. I was just about to head out to the room that would take me outback when Emmett wrapped his arms around me and picked me up.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Taking my little sis to her room, you and Alice have to go put your clothes away or something right?" Alice nodded. Something was most definitely up, and I want to know, but I didn't feel up to fighting. Besides obviously Alice wasn't going to tell me and I doubt Emmett would. I let Emmett take me to the room with Alice right behind us.
After Emmett left Alice and I put on my Taylor Swift CD and sung along to the songs while putting away my clothes. After most of my clothes were put away and it was about 6:30, I noticed a note on my bed.
On the front of the note in very neat cursive handwriting it said Bella.
I opened it up and read it, it said: Dear Bella, Please if you would, meet me outside at 7:00PM. I have a surprise for you. I'm hoping you like it. Sincerely your friend Edward Masen.
I looked up and saw Alice smiling at me. "You knew about this?"
She nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry Bella! I know what he's up to, your going to have fun trust me!"
I sighed, "Okay, I trust you, I'll go."
She hugged me and said, "Good, I'll do your hair and you'll be set! And if you ever doubt me just remember what Carlisle said the first day you came here, 'don't make a bet with Alice unless you want to lose!'" she laughed and got started on my hair.
A/N: hey pplzzzz how'd ya like it? Good? Bad? By the way, I'm sorry I didn't have Edward's plan in this chapter but I promise I'll have it in the next! PLEASE review!!!!!! Thanx!
