I just downloaded minecraft pocket edition. My friend wants to connect with me in her world. Problem is I have no wifi and she lives in a different state.

The simple answer... Is no. Unless your willing to use Cellular. Lots of it.
Minecraft PE is a game that currently does not officially support Bluetooth functionality so Wi-Fi or Cellular is the only way. There are some "fixes" people do online allowing you to play over Bluetooth, but you said your friend lives nowhere near you so that won't work.
