Ok So this is my first story so I hope it isn't to terrible. This is probably going to be the average length of my chapters but there is probably going to be some that are going to go a bit over board though. Hope you like it.

Summary: In attempt to call a friend, Bella accidentally dials the wrong number and soon finds herself talking to a stranger. When they start to call each other regularly they decide to meet. What happens when Bella finds herself falling for the attractive, yet obviously taken Edward Cullen? All human. BxE fluff.
"Bella, Stop your complaining and suck it up
"Bella, Stop your complaining and suck it up. You look gorgeous, and if you make another negative comment about yourself I will personally pull your hair out." Alice sneered.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
"Fine, but tomorrow I get to do and wear what I want. Got it?" I asked, compromising. My eyes opened, searching for an answer.
Her face lit up with a glow as a huge smile crept onto her features. She then took my arm and dragged me upstairs and pushed me into the bathroom.
We live in a modern apartment in New York just right out of the city, almost in New Jersey. Alice had insisted on having a huge apartment complete with a master bedroom, three guest rooms, a kitchen, living room, office, and two bathrooms. I was currently pushed into the bathroom located in between my bedroom and Alice's. It was decorated uniquely thanks to Alice. The walls were a warm blue, the floors where tiled in white that rain up one of the walls where the shower was. There was a black marble sink area that was loaded with multiple beauty products, and on the wall behind it was a huge mirror that took up about 95 of that wall.
"Strip your clothes and hop into the shower. Don't make it long young lady, 15 minutes top." And with that she skipped out of the bathroom and into my room, probably towards my closet to pick out what I was doomed to wear tonight.
I stood there for a few seconds not moving. Oh how she never seized to amaze me. Alice and I have known each other sense we were practically in diapers. Our parents are great friends and we almost immediately took to each other. Notice how I say almost. At first she was a little to over the top for me. She, even young, had random mood shifts and was always a little fashionista. But we soon became the best of friends.
My train of though was interrupted by a perky voice coming from the other room, "I don't hear the water running!" I shook my head and started to do as told and hopped in the shower. I tried not to think about the fact I was being dragged out tonight to an unknown place, but most of all I tried not to think about what Alice was going to put me through in order to get ready for the long night ahead of us.
I shampooed my hair with my favorite strawberry scented shampoo and conditioner and then washed my face and body with my freesia body wash. It was a favorite of mine.
The instant I turned the water off and wrapped my self in a towel, I turned around and saw a beaming smile on her face. Anybody who knew Alice like I did knew she was up to something… and normally that something involved me, skimpy clothes, and make-up. I shivered at the thought.
I was forced to dry off as quickly as possible, and soon after was handed a small pile of clothes and a demand to hurry up. Geez, what ever she had planned for tonight she sure was excited about.
I took a deep breath and then looked at the clothes Alice had shoved at me. It was turquoise, with an accentuated waist. I was form-fitting at the bust and then flowing from the waist down. There were buttons on the front and a bow in the back of the dress. It was a strap dress, but thankfully the straps were at least three fingers in with so it wouldn't feel like it was going to fall off. I felt a smile creep across my face, it really wasn't too bad.
With a new boost of confidence I put on my bra and panties, and then slipped the dress over my head. As to be expected with Alice- it was a perfect fit. I looked at myself in the mirror of the bathroom. Thankfully it wasn't too short, it came about an inch above the knee, and surprisingly enough it was actually really comfortable. She paired it with a pair of simple white flats which I was thankful for because of my defaulty feet that never failed to make me stumble at least once a day.
Alice then marched through the door and looked at me, obviously appeased by the dorky smile on my face.
"Knock much?" I said playfully.
At this she just simply rolled her eyes. "Puh-lease, I have seen everything you have. It's nothing new sweet heart," she stated. I slightly blushed, knowing it was true and I shouldn't be embarrassed about it, though I couldn't help it.
I then sat down on the stool in front the huge mirror, knowing the drill, and like always started eyeing the beauty products in front of me. I took a deep breath and made a small nod of my head letting Alice know I was ready. She approached me quickly with a spring in her step and stood in front of me for a second. Her expression went from happy to serious in a blink of an eye, she stood there studying my face for about three more seconds until that happy, Alice smile danced its way back onto her lips. I knew that from knowing her all these years she had already planned out what I was going to look like in her head and now she was just delighted to be able to play "Bella Barbie" with me.
I closed my eyes and tried to ignore the pulls, and tugs of my hair and the multiple brushes faintly making their way across my face. I sat there for about what I guessed to be 20 minutes or so just waiting for the torture to end.
"Okay, you can open your eyes now," I heard her say.
I opened my eyes and gasped. I was shocked at how Alice managed to do the things she does. I was no longer plain ol' Bella. Actually I was anything but plain. She had given me a light liner on the bottom lid, a pale gray by the brow line and a darker gray, almost black by the lash line, and a just a tad of mascara giving the affect of a smoky eye. I had a pale pink lip gloss on my lips that was an enhanced version of its original color. My hair, she had kept it my natural straight style but had obviously straightened it making it pin straight and hanging flawlessly over my shoulders in a water fall of hair. Needless to say, I was over the moon.
"What do you think?" Alice said with a little worry in her voice. It was then I realized I probably looked like an idiot just staring at the mirror not saying anything.
I jumped up from my seat ad engulfed her in a big hug.
"I love it Alice thank you so much!"
When we pulled back we both were smiling at each other. It was then that I saw what she was wearing. She was wearing a blue and brown patterned halter dress. It's strap wrapped around the neck with the same pattern as the dress and blue and brown beads in the middle of the dress. It came up to about mid-thigh and was a sorta like a bubble dress on the bottom. She wore a simple brown heel with it. It looked fantastic on her. Her make up was light with a shimmering purple eye shadow, mascara, eye liner, and a nude lip color. Her hair, for once wasn't spiked, but instead it was straight like mine making it reach a little past her jaw line.
"Alice, you look very nice as well." I hinted. "Where would we be going on such a night like tonight?"
She just smiled and answered with a simple 'you'll see'. We grabbed our purses and we headed out the door.
We got in Alice's yellow porsche that she had gotten for her 17th birthday from her parents last year.
It was a pretty quiet ride to the unknown destination, with exception of the radio in the back round. I was trying to figure out where we were going and Alice was just paying attention to the road like any good driver should.
We started to pull into a neighborhood. I didn't recall it to be familiar so I sat patiently staring out the window.
I started to hear loud music, and then a few seconds later Alice parked across the street from the house in which the music was coming from. From the obvious number of cars near the house, the music, the lights, and the shadows being displayed for us in the windows, it wasn't too hard to figure out Alice was dragging me to a house party.
She got out of the car and made her way around the car and just stood there for a second, waiting for me to follow her lead and get out of the car, but truth be told I didn't exactly want to go.
I saw her sigh and then open my passenger side door.
"Are you coming or what?" she asked in a tiny bit annoyed tone.
"Um, I guess, but before I go, can I ask you a question?" I asked.
"One."
"Whose house is this?" I asked nervously, not sure if I wanted to know the answer.
"Mike Newton. I know how you feel about him Bella but you agreed. One question and then you'd come in." she pointed out. "And I don't see why you don't like him he is nice!"
I snorted. "Yeah, sure what ever" I said under my breath, and got out of the car.
We walked up to the door and I raised my hand to knock on the door but the door was instantly yanked open. There stood Mike with a huge goofy grin on his face.
"Hey Bella You look Great!" he exclaimed "Hey, Alice"
"Hi Mike" we both said at the same time only she said it in her normal loud, happy voice while I practically whispered it meekly.
Mike instantly grabbed my arm and started to pull me into the sea of people. I stole a glance back towards the door, and saw Alice smiling up at Jasper who was greeting her.
'Grand' I thought, now I am not going to have any help getting out of Mike's attention, This is going to be a long night.
Don't worry, Edward will be in the next chapter. I am going to try to get the next chapter posted on Monday.
