A/N: This is the very first chapter of my new story idea. Yes, Bella is a little OOC, but in my opinion the Bella portrayed by Kristen Stewart is pretty boring(lol). Review, review, and tell me what you guys think! I'd love to know what you guys think of the idea so far!

By the way, the rating may be changed later. :)

" Bella, why must you be so stubborn? You know I'd make sure you have the perfect party,"

Bella rolled her eyes as she approached her locker, immediately turning her attention to the mirror she self-installed into the door.

She would be eighteen years old; an adult in only three short months. It was hard to believe that she had been making arts and crafts and going fishing with her father just yesterday; and now she was preparing to finish her senior year of high school, and journey off to college.

She couldn't say her high school experience had been an average or boring one. She was admittingly popular; a former cheerleader, now holding a proud position as the class president of her fellow peers. Her club activity ranged from the chess club to prom committee, not to mention she was well-liked and admired by nearly everyone in school.

Raking a hand through her hair, she checked the light makeup she had applied earlier that morning before school- glad that her characoal- colored eyed she chose to wear hadn't smudged yet.

" That's the thing Alice. A perfect party in your eyes means something way over my head. I want my birthday party to be simple- if I ever decide on having one in the first place. You know me, I'm a simpleton," Bella replied. Her eighteenth birthday party was still a few months away, but Alice being Alice, was already planning everything.

" Well Bella Swan doesn't exactly scream simpleton does she? For crying out loud Bella! You're popular. And when you're popular, people expect nothing but spectacular!" Bella applied a cherry-colored lip balm to her lips and rubbed them together; dropping it into her bag afterward.

" Alice-"

" Remember your sweet sixteen? The one I happened to plan? Your dress was gorgeous, not to mention the whole school kept complimenting you the next day! I mean come on, how could you not want a party for your eighteenth birthday?" Bella sighed and slammed her locker, leaning against it.

" Don't forget all the people that were passed out around the house and on my front lawn the next day. We had to clean up and get everyone else out of there before my father and his girlfriend came back from that trip to Vegas. But that's beside the point. I don't want some big, dramatic party for my eighteenth birthday, and as my best friend, you should respect that," Bella concluded, arching a brow.

Alice sighed and furrowed her brows. " Please don't do that. You know, you're being really unfair about this,"

" What seems to be the problem?"

Bella's eyes brightened up at the voice and walked past Alice, embracing the person who had decided to show up.

Bella whined." Your sister is trying to plan my birthday party. Again."

Alice placed her hands on either of her hips. " Edward, please explain to your girlfriend that having a birthday bash will only benefit her! There is nothing wrong with it being over the top. I mean come on, this is her last year in high school! What's so wrong with going out with a bang?"

Edward opened his mouth, but no words came out, then he chuckled at his sister, while his arm wrapped around Bella's waist. Bella smirked at Alice in triumph and leaned her head against his shoulder.

" Listen Alice, it's Bella's decision of she wants to have one or not. As much as I am all for the...alcohol and grinding, Bella has a right to say no. It is her birthday after all," Bella grinned and grabbed Edward's chin, bringing him in for a kiss. She smiled as she felt his lips gently kiss her back and pulled way, beaming into his eyes.

"I love having such an understanding boyfriend," He smiled.

" That's me," Bella smiled as he leaned in for another kiss, but stopped short when she heard Alice cough.

" Um, as much as I am all for watching you two playing lovey dovey, we have a class to get to Bella; and so do you Edward,"

Edward cleared his throat. " Uh, right. Guess I'll see you two later," He replied, and quickly kissed Bella again before walking away towards the opposite side of the hallway. Bella shook her head at Alice and laughed. Alice arched a brow.

" What?"

" Don't be so bitter about it Alice, it's my decision to make. If it makes you feel any better.. I won't exactly turn the idea down anymore," Bella decided afterward, and grinned at Alice's bright change in personality. She beamed up at Bella and hugged her excitedly.

" I knew you'd come around,"

" I didn't exactly say yes Alice," Bella reminded as they walked to their homeroom class together. Alice shrugged.

" It's good enough for me. By the way, after school we need to head to Port Angeles pronto. Rosalie is in a extreme need of girl time,"

Bella looked to her concerned. " Is she okay?" Alice sighed. " She found James cheating on her with some blonde bimbo. Can you believe his excuse was that he was so intoxicated that he mistook the girl's blonde hair for being Rose? How pathetic!"

Bella scrunched up her nose in disgust. " Are you kidding me? I can't believe he would do that to her! And to think we were friends with that guy. I swear, I am going to be the last person James want to deal with right now," Alice nodded agreeing.

" Does anyone else now about this? Edward or Emmett?" Bella asked. Alice scoffed.

"God no! Do you know what they would do to James if they found out? Okay well, maybe Edward being the more logical and sensitive brother scare the crap out of him rather than beat him to a pulp. But Emmett? He would go to jail Bella. Needless to say, Rosalie does not need any more stress right now," Bella nodded agreeing, almost forgetting how far either brother would go to protect their little sister.

" She told everyone that she had a killer migraine and figured sleeping in would help. She's even taking chewable vitamins disguised as Advil to avoid suspicion," Bella smiled at that a little but shook her head still.

" I just don't understand why this always has to happen to her. Rose deserves better than that. I mean, she puts everything she has into these relationships and just gets heart broken in the end. It's not fair you know?"

" You are so right Bella. I just hope the right one comes along, and soon. I can't say for sure would will happen if it keeps ending like this for her," Alice replied sadly as they entered their English class and took their seats. Bella grabbed a pen and notebook from her bag and set them on the desk as the teacher began lecturing.

Stuffing her hand into the small pocket of her bag, she grabbed her cell phone and expertly sent a text to Rosalie, barely looking down at all to avoid the teacher catching her. Practice throughout her middle school years and high school made her a wizard at texting during classes.

'We're here for you Rose.~ Bella'
