Shopping with the Girls
BellaPOV
" Bella, snap out of it. He will be back next week," Bec snapped at me during Maths. I ignored her and went back to me daydreaming. It was about Edward. The Cullens had been gone for four days now and I was seriously starting to go insane. So was Jasper.
" Don't you ignore me, missy. Today, you, me and Ella are going shopping even if I have to drag you to the shops," Bec snapped. I groaned and dropped my head onto the desk.

" Come on, shopping time," Bec sang as we walked through the doors. I groaned and Ella just laughed.
" What shop first?" Ella asked Bec.
" Well we have the school dance coming up in a few weeks so let's go dress shopping," Bec suggested. I groaned again.
" Oh stop your whining. This will be fun," Ella laughed and we stepped into Fashion Fair. I have to admit Fashion Fair is my favourite shop and soon I was lost in the racks and racks of clothes.
" How about this one?" Bec called. We were the only ones in the shop and the shopkeepers were helping us find dresses. Bec held up a short, white, flowy, strapless dress. It had a large orange and pink flower design and a pink top with a pink trim. Ella wolf-whistled and I gave Bec the thumbs up. She grabbed her size and ran to the dressing room to try it on.
" I can't find anything," Ella grumbled.
" What about this for you?" I asked holding up a short, black dress with white polka dots. It had spaghetti straps with a wide, black trim and waistband. The shopkeeper gave it the thumbs up and Ella went to go try it on.
" Just me now," I said to myself. The shopkeeper, Bree, came over.
" Do you need any help?" she asked.
" Sure," I said smiling.
" I think you could wear a black and white dress too. Follow me to our black and white section," she said. I followed her and when we reached the section she turned and looked me up and down.
" I know the perfect dress," she almost sang. Bree turned and grabbed a short, white flowy, spaghetti strap dress with black top. It had white bow things on one strap and lace around the bottom hem. It was gorgeous.
" I love it," I cried and I ran to the changing rooms.
We all ended up getting those dress and we left feeling very happy with ourselves.
" Shoes now," Bec crowed. It was nearing 4 0'clock.
" One sec. I'll just text Jazz so he doesn't freak out," I laughed and pulled out my phone.
GOING 2 B LITTLE LATE… HOME BOUT 6… TELL DAD… LOVE BOO…
" Ready," I smiled and we headed for the nearest shoe shop.
*****
" But I will be more comfortable in them," I said pleading with Bec and Ella.
We were in a shoe shop and I was trying to convince the girls that I should wear flats.
" You can't wear that dress and flats. Alice would slap you silly," Bec said. She had a point there. If Alice found out I was wearing flats she would scream.
" Fine," I grumbled.
The girls grinned and ran off, coming back with some black heels. They were quite pretty and they had a strap around the ankle so I wouldn't fall over.
" Try them on," Bec urged. I slipped off my black ballet flats and buckled up the heels. I stood up.
" Woah," Ella said. I walked over to the mirror and automatically fell I love with the shoes.
" I am getting these," I cried.
" My turn," Ella said and ran to the white shoes. After mush decision she ended up getting the same shoes as me but in white.
" Should I get white, orange or pink shoes?" Bec asked us.
" Pink," I said. Ella nodded and Bec skipped over to the pink section.
It took us a while but finally we decided on a pair of pink and white heels. They were so different but very exotic, just like her dress. I had picked them out. Alice would be very proud of me.
We paid for the shoes and I checked my watch. 5 o'clock.
" Jewellery," Bec sang.
" It is just a school dance," I said.
" But we are in Grade 9 now. That means this school dance isn't the kiddie school disco that we went to last year. This is Prom," Bec said exasperatedly.
" Prom?" I asked.
" Yeah," Ella said.
" Okay maybe we do need the jewellery," I mumbled. Ella laughed while Bec nodded.
" And if you do it now you won't have to come back to the shops with Alice," Bec said. I sighed.
" Okay, okay. Time for jewellery," I agreed and Ella and Bec grabbed my hands and lead me to their favourite shop. Adorn.
" This shop has the best jewellery ever," Bec gushed as we pushed the doors open. Since it was so close to closing time we were the only ones in the store. The storekeeper looked a little cranky about being kept back later.
" She looks a little grumpy," Ella whispered as we walked to the corner of the store. I smirked.
" Not fir long," I giggled and pulled out my purse. I rummaged inside it trying to find the one thing I have received from Edward that I didn't like. I finally got my fingers around the offending object and pulled it out. A credit card.
Straight away the storekeeper came rushing over.
" How can I help you?" she asked kindly, " My name is Jessica,"
" We are looking for some jewellery for our Prom," I said sweetly, " Just the basics. Bracelets, earrings and necklaces. Maybe a ring or two,"
" Sure thing. Now do you have your dresses? We can match the jewellery to the dress. Who first?" Jessica asked.
" Bec," Ella and I said in unison. Bec smiled and nodded.
" Rightio over here," Jessica said and she set to work. She was actually quite nice and new a lot about fashion.
Soon after an hour of looking, trying-on and haggling, Bec, Ella and I walked out of Adorn with our new pieces.
" Come back to my house and we can put on a fashion show for Dad," I giggled.
The others agreed and I text Jasper to come pick us up.
Soon Emmett's Jeep pulled up next to the curb and we hopped in.
" Nice time shopping girls?" Jasper asked.
" Great," I answered.
In Adorn, Bec ended up getting a pink, three-layer necklace with pink beads situated at different positions on the string, a chunky, pink, timber bracelet and some simple heart shaped studs.
Ella bought the cutest little necklace I had ever seen. It was silver and had two little deer hanging from the chain. She also bought silver, diamond, heart shaped earrings and a silver, diamond, cuff bracelet in the shape of a serpent.
Finally, I bought a black, enamel, heart necklace, black rose earrings and a black and white chunky bracelet.
All in all I was very happy with my buys. Alice would be so proud.
We got home and us girls had our fashion parade, showing off our buys. Dad was beaming the whole time. I think he is just happy that I am not sulking anymore and that I am hanging out with people other than the Cullens.
I fell asleep that night dreaming of Edward. Only five-six days left.
A/N: Hey everyone… this chapter is just a filler and I felt like Bella deserved a little fun with her human friends… all the Jewellery, dresses and shoes that I described can be seen on my profile…
