JESSICA WAS INVITED DESPITE BELLA'S PREVIOUS SENTIMENTS.
Elise found her more tolerable without Lauren Mallory — the girl from Newton's store — to belittle everyone around her.
Elise and Carlisle planned for dinner after he was off work, so she'd spend the majority of the day with Bella and her friends.
Apparently, they were having a winter formal, a Sadie Hawkins dance (girls ask guys, the like of which Elise boycotted with Leah because of blatant sexism, and instead went to each other's respective dances and spiked the punch, ensuring absolute chaos) and the girls wanted to shop for dresses.
By girls, it was definitely more Angela and Jessica. Elise always enjoyed getting dressed up for Prom or Homecoming when she was in high school, but Bella had always been the opposite.
Dancing, everyone in the family knew, was nothing short of hazardous for Bella. Added to the fact that she didn't have a date — and was not going to ask Mike or Tyler, she'd said numerous times to Elise — she was instead going shopping for books.
The drive to Seattle went fairly quickly, the three alternating CD's and Bella cringing at their loud, off-key singing voices.
Elise texted Leah for half the drive, slept for thirty minutes, and received a few brief, but sweet texts from Carlisle. The thought of going on a date with him made her stomach flip ten times over and she couldn't be more excited.
By the time they reached Seattle, it was nearing midday and the foursome ventured to a cute boutique selling dresses.
"I like that one," Elise commented, looking at Jessica's chosen dress. "It brings out your eyes."
Jessica beamed, her eyes catching Elise's. She ran her hands along her body. "You think Mike'll like it?"
Elise shrugged, exchanging a look with Bella. "Mike's a teenage boy. And the dress makes your tits look fabulous, so I'd say the answer is a big, fat yes."
"Perfect," Jessica thanked Elise and scurried back into the dressing room to see about another dress.
Angela came forward with another one and Elise moved her hand side-to-side. "You could look better. Try purple or green. I think you'll look better in dark colors."
"Bella?" Angela asked her friend, who was staring blankly. "What do you think?"
Before Bella could answer, Jessica came out in a pink dress. "How's this one?"
