Beep. Beep. Beep. Bee-

A small hand shot out from under the blanket and smashed down on the small red machine that was sending out the shrill noise.

Ugh. What the hell? She thought as she rolled over and snuggled back down into her warm, thick blanket to sink back into the deep sleep that she had just been yanked out of. But a few seconds later she was yet again interrupted from her comfortable sleep.

Her bedroom door was thrown open, loudly banging into the wall. Why?

"Good morning, Bella!" A voice chimed from the end of her bed. "Time to get your lazy ass out of bed and out into the land of business."

Alice.

"Go away." The girl mumbled into her pillow.

"I cant do that unless you want to be late for your job interview with C and C Publications..."

Job interview?

"Oh my god! I'm gonna be late! Alice, whay didnt you wake me up sooner?" She screamed as she threw her blankets off of her body and almost sprinted to the bathroom, nearly tripping over a pair of shoes that had been obviously kicked in random directions the night before. Meanwhile, Alice stood in the same place laughing hysterically at her friend who was running around the house like a chicken with its head cut off.

"Bella calm down you still have two hours to get ready." The girl still didnt seem to hear her as she ran around her bathroom trying to find everything she needed. Alice was making her way to the door when she stopped and looked over her shoulder to yell, "Oh and Bella I set you out a new outfit that I bought for you yesterday. The one that you set out was just not acceptable."

The girl stopped and looked over to her friend with wide eyes. "Alice you just bought me that outfit a month ago."

A stern looked replaced Alice's happy smile. "Exactly. You cant just be running around in outdated clothes. Havent I taught you anything?" She gave her friend another stern look before exiting the room. The girl just shook her head at her style obsessed friend and went about getting ready for a nice long warm shower.

About fifteen minutes later the girl stepped out of the bathroom with a towel tightly wrapped around her body only to find an outfit laying neatly across her bed. A white button up shirt was first. It had a low scoop neck and a tie around the waist. She looked at the shirt skeptically before looking down at the note that was laying next to where the shirt used to be.

The note was written in her friend's perfect cursive writing.

Bella,

I know your already doubting the clothes but please just trust me they will look fantastic on you.

Love,

Alice

P.S. No arguing!

That was Alice for you. Sometimes she wondered if the girl was psychic. Ever since they had both met their freshmen year of college they had been bestfriends. Alice was her roommate and had had two of her classes with her. To say that they had spent a lot of time together was an understatement. When they both finished college they had decided to stay roommates, so now here they were in New York together and happy as ever. Alice busy with her new boutique she's opening and me trying to find work as a publisher.

With a sigh, she began putting on the shirt and skirt that Alice had left for her. Once they were on she walked over to the full length mirror that she had on her closet door. The outfit actually didnt lok bad at all. The shirt's neckline didnt go down to far it went just far enough to show a little bit of cleavage but it was still classy looking. The tie around the waist accentuated her small and emphasized her nice hips, bringing out her curves. The skirt was a high waisted mini that stopped a little abover her knees and brought out her long legs. When she walked back to her bed she spotted a small blue shoe box laying on the floor with a note on the top.

Bella,

I know your going to freak out but just give it a chance please.

Love,

Alice

Oh god this cant be good. When she opened the box she saw why Alice thought she would freak out. Inside of the box were a pair of dark grey 4' small platform pumps.

No way! Uh uh. Not gonna happen. Is she crazy? I cant even walk flat footed what makes her think I can walk four inches off the ground? She threw the box down on the bed and walked to her closet to find another pair of shoes. However when she opened the door she groaned in frustration. Where are all of my shoes? On the floor of her closet where all of her shoes should be was another note from Alice. When did she have time to do all of this?

Bella,

I know your probably tired of getting notes by now but I left this not to tell you that all of your other shoes are safe and sound. Oh and dont bother going to your stash in yout trunk, in the hall closet, or your gym bag because they are already taken care of. You'll thank me later!

Love,

Alice

Another groan escaped from her mouth. Damnit Alice! She made her way back to the bed to put on her death traps. After applying some subtle make up that consisted of a little bit of eyeliner that made her eyes stand out and some nude lipstick she had finally started to get used to the heels. By the time she looked at the clock it was already ten o'clock and she had just enough time to get to C and C Publications by ten thirty.

She grabbed her purse and a cup of coffee and made her way out the door to hail a cab.
