A month
Chapter 4
I was asleep on the couch when Jake and Sam decided to barge in. "hey sleepy head how long have you been on the couch for?" shouted Jake as he made his way into the living room. I looked at the clock it was 11.00 on Saturday morning. "well I woke up and 8.00 had some breakfast then promptly fell asleep after taking my pain meds" I said getting up they looked concerned. Are you sure you want to do this today?" asked Sam, "of course I do wolves couldn't keep me away" I joked and they grinned. Since Wednesday the third point on my checklist has been in the process of being achieved ands plus we are doubling it up with my fourth point as well. We had two days to put together a flash mob with all of the pack and twelve of my friends from school. We will be doing it in the mall and it is in aid of cancer research.
3. Be part of a public display of stupidity
4. Raise money for charity
Now the thing that makes this flash mob is that it is a mash up off all the stupidest and funniest dances of all time. And after the flash mob we will be going around with charity buckets and we have a stall for anyone who wants to get their head shaved in aid of cancer research. We will also be selling cakes in case the shaving idea goes bust. I got up and went into the kitchen, were the boys were already raiding the fridge. "Hey no time for food we have to be the first ones there to set up the stall and get everyone together to start the flash mob." I said they rolled their eyes stuffing as much food in their mouths as they could before making their way to the door. Sam drove while me and Jake sat in the back squashed in because of all the boxes and stall equipment. Charlie was coming later in the day to help with the stall and see the flash mob, I had tweeted the whole school about a charity event but I had left out the part about the dancing that was a surprise. It took half an hour to get to the mall and I was so happy that I was bouncing up and down. We unpacked the van, well they did and I carried the cupcakes. The mall director showed us to where we were allowed to set up the stall and he shook our hands saying that it was great what we were doing and that he will be back to see how we were doing. It took ten minutes to get the stall set up, it was quite easy, well it was easy for me I was ordered to sit down and watch so I didn't over tire myself.
Around the time the boys were setting out the cupcakes and I was setting out the chair and charging the electric shaver when everyone else got here. I smiled and looked as they had all come in the cancer research shirts and had arms filled with charity bands. They all hugged me and grinned, I looked over to see Jessica eyeing Paul and Jake who were going to be selling cakes while all the girls did the shaving I thought it looked quite comical such big men selling dainty cupcakes. "Why do you look like that Jess" I asked she raised an eyebrow. "well don't you think we would get more money from the lady folk if those men were really showing of how buff they really are, I mean they run around with their shirts of anyway why stop now?" I chuckled she was devious. I dished out buckets too everyone who wasn't being on the stalls and made them spread out over the mall, and told them to be back by 1.00pm when the music will start. I then took Jess over too Jake and Paul, they were messing around waiting for customers. "Hey guys Jess had a brilliant idea on how to get more customers" I said they looked up smiling. "Take your shirts of" I said they looked baffled and looked at each other. "Why would that get us more customers?" asked Paul, I rolled my eyes. "Because I am pretty sure that the women of this mall would appreciate it and the men would get jealous and come and donate to look good to the ladies." I said and they nodded and looked at each other sheepishly, "you owe us big time Bella" stated Jake taking of his shirt I grinned as Jess's mouth dropped. "See!" I said and they grinned as Jessica turned beetroot, then Paul followed suit. "Oh and while I am offering favours why don't you earn another one and put these on" I said chucking some pink frilly aprons that went around their waist. I ran off before they could argue and went to the shaving chair waiting for my first person. Leah was over their grinning holding a donation bucket with Angela. "Hey guys!" I said "Bella you absolute minx! How did you get the boys to do that?" exclaimed Leah. "I have my ways, maybe I will write a book about it, how to get Quileute tribal boys to put on pink frilly aprons half naked." They burst out laughing, "So how is it going with Terry?" I asked coyly and Leak looked at my sternly. "You know how it is going, I like him a lot" she said and then leaned in and whispered to me "I am telling him tonight, can you be there? I mean you had the talk once before about us I think it will be good for him" she whispered and I nodded and she gave me a hug. No one was really paying attention to the shaving but a crowd had formed waiting for someone to be brave enough. I sighed we needed someone to start it off. Mike bounded over with his bucket I looked at him he was meant to be on the balcony collecting money. "Why did you come over here Mike?" I asked he looked a bit nervous, "I was thinking I would get the ball rolling you know with the shaving." He said I was shocked he was giving up his crowning glory! "Are you sure Mike don't feel like you need to just because you are helping out" I said he shook his head "I want to do it" he said defiantly. "Have you asked Jess?" I asked he shook his head, they were going out and Jess was the one who wore the pants. I pulled him over to the chair and he plopped down, "oh my god Mike!" said Jess as she saw what was happening, "someone get this on my camera" I said chucking my camcorder to Angela how was giddy. She put it on and the crowd grew and some of the collectors stopped to look. "It's our first shaver of the day and I promise Mike I am a very good hair dresser" I said he chuckled "how can you be good when all the people out of the chair will be bald?" he asked and I shrugged and turned on the clippers.
The crowd shouted words of encouragement and he closed his eyes as I made the first cut. I made it fast and I was surprised at how okay Mike was with it. By the time I was finished he still hadn't opened his eyes, I put the mirror in front of him and he opened his eyes Angela zoomed in close and waited for his reaction. He looked at himself and practically whispered "my mom is going to kill me" I burst out laughing and the others soon followed, and the crowd cheered the first shaver of the day. I could see this day turning out just fine.
