This is just a one shot post. If I get enough review and people like it I will continue but for now read, review and let me know what you think!

-Also I just want to let everyone know that the first chapter is in Alice's point of view then the story is actually in Bella's. But on top of that- I don't know brands or anything fashion. I shop at Target and love it! So if I get something wrong with the fashion or clothes or shoes, give me a heads up and I'll correct it.

APOV

My life was ruined. Completely utterly ruined.

"MUM!" I called running around the house, tears were streaming down my face ruining my new Armani sweater. "MUM WHERE ARE THE JIMMY CHOO HEELS I GOT LAST WINTER?"

"Alice just get you're stuff together now!" My mum yelled back at me. She was running around the house in a frantic state trying to get a hold of my father.

"BUT I CAN'T LEAVE WITHOUT THEM!" I all but screamed back at her. I reached the hall closet and yanked it open. Filled from bottom to top are shoes I can't take with me. "J-J-J" I mumbled looking at the alphabetically ordered shoe boxes. I smiled and grabbed them out then froze. My Louis Vuitton- Vienna Flower High Boots were staring me in the face. I can fit them in my suit case, plenty of room.

I began to walk away before running back quickly and grabbing my Givenchy heels also. That should do. Honestly I'm only going for what? 6 months... 7 months top...

I turn around slowly, and placed the boxes on the lounge room table. Mother said I was only allowed to pack lightly... so what if I pack a lot of lightly?

"Alice honey, I'm off. I will call you soon. The Limo to take you to my dear brothers will be here shortly" She kissed both of my cheeks, then handed me her black Amex card. "For emergencies, Ok Alice?" I nodded and watched as she walked out of the door and down to the limousine.

The moment it disappeared I all but dived into the closet and began pulling out all my favourite heels. The Manolo Blahnik, the Chanel, the Ferragamo and last but certainly not least Roger Vivier-

"Ma'am the limousine is out the front for you" I nodded and put all the shoes next to my already packed 12 suitcases.

I walked brusquely to my quarter and looked around the room. Hundreds upon hundreds of things I could still take with me... My hair products, makeover creams, watches, rings, my Guess necklace... on the other hand. I quickly grabbed it and put it on, deciding then to leave before I would cry.

I made my way down to the limousine and shut myself, trying to ignore the aching feeling in my heart I felt for the Dior dress I just realized I'd left in my room. I sighed and pulled my Iphone out before taping in my pass-code and calling the one person who could make me feel better.

"Pumpkin, what's wrong?" My father answered the phone in a huff.

"Daddy why do I have to move?" I all but pouted to him. "I don't understand why I get punished for mother's mistake!" I said gripping the Iphone.

"Well, until you're mother can confess to what she did the house is going into lock-down. And I know that you wouldn't be able to learn Italian so you have to stay with my Brother-in-law"

"This is stupid daddy, I have only met them once. They could be red-necked-family-loving-hill-billies for all we know! Daddy I don't do family time! I like to be on my own in my room and accept the fact that I'm pretty much perfect!" I heard my father huff again.

"Alice, try to be on your best behaviour okay? Did Sandy give you the Amex card?" She asked sympathetically.

"Yes she did. But it has limits and she said I could only use it for emergencies. What if I get a frown line? How will I be able to cope, DADDY?" It was silent and I knew he was debating with himself. "Please daddy, I didn't do anything wrong. I love you more than anything else..." I knew my little suck up speech would work. But please keep in mind I don't love him nearly as much as I love the Jimmy Choo heels.

"Okay Pumpkin, I'll make sure it has a 5,000 dollar a day limit is that okay?" I beamed.

"Thank-you, thank-you daddy!" I hung up a moment later feeling slightly rejuvenated.

The trip to my cousins house was boring as all get out. I kept myself entertained but flipping through the Forbes 400 Richest Americans, happy to see my father's name at number 34.

"Ma'am were almost there" the driver announced as he turned into a putrid street. I cringed at the rain and wished that my uncles house would have a concrete drive-way. But alas, as we pulled to a stop it was made of mud. I waited patiently as the driver made his long route around to open my door and I bit my bottom lip frantically as My uncle and cousin made their way down the porch. My uncle looked almost identical to my mother but a male version, short stumpy hair particals, a moustache... doesn't he know that went out of fashion in 1963? And not to be rude but get a look at my cousin... Long brown hair with split ends- bleugh! And I supposed she would have a nice body if her baggy clothes weren't covering it up.

The driver finally opened my door and extended a hand to me and I held onto it for the life of me as I stepped out and straight into a puddle.

"Alice Brandon" Uncle Charlie called as he helped me out of a puddle, I felt tears spring to my eyes as I looked down at Ferragamo's vintage shoe line. "Nothing a bit of elbow grease can't fix" He said with a smile holding me at arms length. My hand shot to my mouth.

"Elbow grease?" I asked cautiously. He chuckled before pulling me over the puddle rather roughly I might add. "Alice, this is Bella. I think the last time you two saw each other was when you were five" She smiled at me and I didn't want to be rude so I gave her a quick bouncy hug and smile.

"So, Uncle Charlie" I began, "Care to help me take my things to my room?" he smiled as the chauffer began to pull out my suitcases... then his smile faltered.

"Sure kiddo" he mumbled. I smiled and held my Gucci bag closer to my chest, scared somebody could quickly run up and grab it.

"Come on Alice I'll show you to your room" Bella said as she nodded toward to the... is that seriously their whole house? I gave a tight lipped smile and followed her inside,

"My Shoes..." I cooed as I gently took them off and left the at the front door.

"I thought you'd be taller..." Bella muttered as she opened the door.

"My mother is small" I retorted. I walked in and felt my top lip what to curl up in disgust. "This is... cute" I managed to force out. When you first walked in there was a small room with a Television and two couches next to that was a door and I could see the kitchen, on the wall in front of me was stairs heading upstairs, but on the wall to my direct left was another door. She took me upstairs and I did a double take.

Three doors... and I could already see into one of them which was a bathroom... then that must mean.

"Dad's putting together the spare room downstairs. So were sharing for the time bring" She looked so damn happy and I could only force out a small smile.

"Brilliant... like every night is a sleep over I said. She took me in and I was wide eyed. "This is your room?" I asked

"Yes... that's my bed, you can have the bed over there and my desk, I've already moved most of my things out of the cupboard... I didn't really need that much room anyways..." Her entire bedroom was the size of my jewellery room at home... well my old home now.

"Ok. That's fine..." I put my bag down and sat down on the bed. It seemed comfy enough "What do you guys do for fun?" I asked because I think I already knew the answer. I could tell the moment I met her.

"Oh... well I like my study because I want to get into a good university and I don't really-"

"Do you have friends Bella?" I asked abruptly. She looked down quickly then back up at me with a big smile.

"No really... I like my study"

"Right..." I murmured and looked around the room awkwardly. "So I start school tomorrow... that should be good" I said. Bella took a seat on her bed and nodded her head. "Are the people nice?" I asked again. Maybe I was a little nervous.

"...sure" She muttered before pulling her hair up into a tight bun. I watch her as she awkwardly got up and left me alone. I stood and looked out of the window to see Charlie struggling up the footpath... SPLASHING MUD ALL OVER MY BAGS!

"Daddy I can't do this!" I frantically whispered into the phone, afraid someone would here me if I spoke to loud.

"Alice you've been there what? A whole of ten minutes?" His deep voice echoed into the phone.

"Yes! And I've already stepped in a puddle, ruined my shoes, found out my cousin has NO friends is a complete loser AND I have to share a room. Please let me come over with you, please..." I new if I gave him my sad voice he would give in.

"No. End of story you are staying. Just try to make the best of this situation please. I will call you tomorrow" The phone line went dead and I looked around the room in surprise.

Who new that my father could stand up for himself?

And I would do what he said... but how...

"Alice do want to come help me make dinner?" Bella asked in a soft voice. I new at that moment she had heard me and a sudden thought came to my mind.

Bella.

BPOV

When I found out that Charlie's sister Amelia's daughter was coming to live with us I inwardly groaned. I'd heard over the years she was a high class princess- used to getting everything in life she ever wanted and I knew when she'd get here she would be in for a rude awakening.

It didn't matter that she was coming to live with us because finally I would be able to talk with someone my own age about important things, like politics, the economic crisis... but the sad this was when I first met her I knew she wouldn't have any idea about Barak Obama or the Ozone Layer. Alice on the other hand would probably know what shimmer stuff would suit my eyes.

"Daddy I can't do this!" I heard her whisper in the phone quiet loudly as I left the bathroom. I froze and looked at the gap in the door. "Yes! And I've already stepped in a puddle, ruined my shoes, found out my cousin has NO friends is a complete loser AND I have to share a room. Please let me come over with you, please..." She groaned before putting the phone down.

I looked down at my hands twisting together and bit my bottom lip. It's not like I didn't notice these sort of things, or hear them from people at school, I guess it just hurts a lot more when you're own family points it out. I put on my brave face and knocked on the door.

"Alice, do you want to come help me make dinner?" I asked with a small smile. I heard her sigh and I began to walk down the stairs. She bounced along behind me.

"You never answered my question before" she seemed a lot happier than 5 minutes ago. She must have noticed I knew she was annoyed.

"Well their is bowling... and-"

"Alice honey" Charlie called as he opened the front room.

"Yes Uncle Charlie" Alice said as she danced to the front door.

"I don't think we have enough room for all of this..."

"Well I'll make you a deal" She said a small smile on her face. My gosh this girl was giving me whiplash. "Bella said you were making up a room for me. So I'll share with Bella for the time being and my things can go in there?" She smiled a big smiled again and I rung my hands together.

"Sure honey" Charlie said, beginning to load her things into the room with barely a floor. "Just be careful entering it okay?" She nodded then turned to me.

"We were making dinner Bella?" She asked

"Well actually I thought we'd have take-out" Charlie said stretching his arms.

"Pizza?" I asked going over to the pamphlet in the kitchen.

"Sure" Charlie murmured and took his regular seat on the one man couch in front of the telly.

The night progressed slowly and I learned very quickly that Alice didn't shut-up. If she wasn't complaining about the amount of Carbs I just ate it was about how my hair looks dead. I clearly pointed out to her that all hair is dead anyways and she huffed and went onto the brand of shampoo I used.

"And did you know that if you put a little bit, only a little bit of hair spray over you're face in the morning after you've put you're make-up on it stops it from running through-out the day"

"I don't wear make-up" I grumbled back, rolling over to my other side of the bed giving her a clear dismissal that I wanted to sleep.

"OH! I almost forgot to tell you the most important bit-"

"Alice it's one in the morning..." I grumbled.

"Oh... I guess it is" she said softly. I felt bad in the end and asked her to continue. She acted ecstatically and even sat up. "If you apply eyeliner, very lightly to the top of you're eye lid instead of the bottom it makes you're eyes look twice it's size-"

"Why do I want to have eyes twice my size?" I asked.

"Because ever guy notices a girls eyes first... well after the initial eye-fuck" I sat up straight and looked at her suddenly. I flipped the lamp on quickly.

"The initial-what?" I asked.

"Eye-fuck..." Oh... what? "Oh please Bella. Tell me you've heard of that?" she asked quickly.

"No" I said looking around the room. "Eye..."

"Ok. Take me for example," She said with a sly smile. "Tomorrow I'm going to your high school to look absolutely irresistible. Every guy will want a piece of me, just from the way I will look-"

"I thought it was all about personality?" I asked.

"Pffft. It is. But you have to get their attention first"

"GIRLS" I heard Charlie yell from the room across the hallway. I knew he couldn't hear what we were saying. Just out voices. "I HAVE WORK IN 5 HOURS. PLEASE SLEEP" I groaned and turned the lamp off.

"Goodnight Bella" Alice said before rolling over. I lay there awake for a few minutes just thinking.

Boys don't notice girls personality's first. They notice how they dress.

No Bella. You need to focus on you're school work, definitely NOT HIM.

My mind chided in with my ample thoughts. Yet... it would be nice to have some male attention.
