It was March 10, 1991. Also known as the day that the twins were born. Rosalie and Jasper. Mr. and Mrs. Perfection. The only reason I call them that is becuase, well, it's true! They both have beautiful honey blonde hair, blue eyes, and gorgeous bodies and facial features. They get most of their traits from my father, Carlisle. And me, well, I'm just me. I get most of my traits from my mother Esme. But I'm different from her with the way I put my hair and I have different facial features. And unlike me, she has green eyes. I have hazel eyes, dark brown hair, and let's just say that I'm not the most graceful person in the world. Especially compaired to Rosalie. I know what you're thinking. How can someone like me actually be related to the people in this family? Well, I don't blame you. I was wondering the same thing. I know my mother hates it when I ask her if I was adopted, but I just can't help it! Rosalie and Jasper are just so perfect and the only thing that I have in common with anyone in this family is my hair. Esme and I both have brown hair. But the only thing is, hers is more of a carmel color. So that fact kind of puts me down sometimes, but at least I can pretend that we have the same hair.
But the point is, I'm majorly jelious of Rosalie and Jasper. I hate to admit it, as obvious as it is to everyone else in the world who knows me, but it's true. I'm jelious, okay? I'm jelious! But how can anyone not be jelious of Rosalie? She's the meaning of beautiful. Heck, if you looked up beautiful in the dictionary, you'd see a picture of her in it! Her figure is like a models and it makes you think about why models starve themselves or go bulemic when there's people like Rosalie in the world. Now Jasper, he's another story. He is seriously like a god! Girls are always hitting on him and it seems like every day there's a new girl after him. It's like guys with Rosalie, they're pretty much glued to her side. I still question how I could possibly be related to either of them. It's like I was meant to be ugly just so they could look even better. I know, I know, it's not good to be jelious. You should be thankful of what you have, not what you don't. But yet again, I can't help but be jelious! The only thing I have in common with them, at the moment anyway, is that I don't have a boyfriend. Don't pretend you're surprised that I don't have one, you should be surprised that Jasper doesn't have a girlfriend and Rosalie doesn't have a boyfriend.
But like every teenage girl, I do have a crush. His name is Edward Cullen. But of course, I have no chance with him at all. Oh well, I might as well continue watching Spongebob. Hey, don't make fun of me! Besides, it's not like you don't watch him still.... What? You don't? Oh, come on! It's always just me, isn't it?! Isn't it?! Sorry about that, I tend to freak out sometimes. Actually, a lot. Anyway, I have to go to school now. The worst place ever in my opinion and probably everyone else in the world, too.
~* Lunch *~
I'm so glad it's finally lunch. My first two classes are so boring! I have Trig and Biology and the only thing good about them is that I have my best friend Alice Cullen in my class. Yes, her brother is my crush. And she knows too! I don't keep anything from her like she doesn't with me. We've known everything about each other since kindergarden. But she has one other brother, his name is Emmett. I guess he's my friend since he sits with me and Alice at lunch sometimes, but usually he's at Rosalie's table with his other friends and her's. I decided to just get a salad so I sat down at my usual table to wait for Alice. Oh my God, no, no, no, no, NO! She's with JASPER! Okay, calm down, Bella. Maybe they're just having a friendly conversation. Yeah, that's it, a friendly conver- Oh, what am I saying?! Of course it's not just a friendly conversation! They're going out! I'll just wait for her to come over here, no need to freak-out right now.
"Hi, Alice", I said as soon as she sat down.
"Hey Bella, what's up?", She asked.
"Oh, I think you know what's up"
"Um, I do?"
"Yes. You're going out with Jasper, aren't you? Aren't you?!", Everyone in the cafeteria turned around to look at us and Alice turned around to see.
"What are you staring at, turn around!" I yelled to everyone.
"Ummm, no?", Alice said, trying to act innocent.
"Don't lie to me, Alice"
"I'm sorry, Bella"
"We tell each other everything, Alice. Why didn't you tell me THIS?"
"Because I thought you would hate me if you knew I liked your brother. And apparently I was right"
"I don't hate you, Alice. Just a little upset"
"I know, I really am sorry. I truly never intended to like your brother the way I do"
"I know. You can't help who you like"
"Are we still best friends?"
"Of course", I said and we hugged. I may be upset about the fact that she's dating my brother, but I could never be mad enough to not stay best friends with Alice.
~* After School *~
Now I'm going home, and of course, to the twins. I'm in my car, about a mile away maybe, thinking about the day the twins were born.
~~** FLASHBACK **~~
March 10, 1991. It was a Sunday and pretty warm out. I may have only been one-years-old, but I was a pretty smart baby. So therefore, I remember everything. I could even talk! Anyway, I knew my mother was pregnant and I was actually pretty excited. I was really hoping for a little sister that looked like me. But I was sadly mistaken. Not to say that I wish the twins weren't born, I do love them, but I was just really looking forward to having someone look like me in the family. My father was driving me and my mother to the hospital and we were almost there. As soon as we got there, Carlisle picked me up and brought Esme inside where one of the nurses brought her to a room down the hall. I wasn't aloud inside the room for some reason, but Carlisle was so a nurse held me until Esme finally gave birth. I'm pretty sure I had to wait for two hours, but I wasn't too sure. Again, I was a smart baby, so I knew everything that was going on. If you don't believe me, ask my mom. Anyway, after the two hours was up, the nurse brought me inside the room so I could see Esme. I was sat down by Carlisle and I saw that there were two babies instead of one, and it was obvious that Esme hadn't known that she had twins until they were born.
"Bella, honey, come here", Carlisle brought me to Esme's side and I sat there, looking at Rosalie and Jasper sleeping.
"You have a brother and a sister now, they're twins", She said. I was a little shocked. There wasn't much debate about names because Carlisle agreed with what Esme thought of for names. Finally, they decided on Jasper and Rosalie. When we got home the next day, Esme and Carlisle realized that Rosalie cried a lot and Jasper didn't really do much but sleep. Pretty much the way they are today, except for the fact that Rosalie doesn't cry, she yells.
~* Present *~
Again, even though I'm jelious of Rosalie and Jasper, I do love them. A lot. I just can't stand the fact that they're so much better than me. At pretty much everything! Jasper's a soccer star, a great writer, and an awesome poet. While Rosalie's the perfect dancer, singer, and actress. And me, well, I'm Bella. I suck at sports, a terrible writer, the worst poet on earth, I'm clumsy, couldn't hit a high note if my life depended on it, and my acting just plain sucks!
~* At Home *~
"Bella honey, how was school?" Esme asked when I walked through the front door.
"Fine", It really wasn't, but I didn't feel like talking.
"That's good. Have you seen the twins?"
"No"
"Oh, well, do you know where they might be?"
"I don't know, mom", That may have sounded a little too angry on my part, but I couldn't help it. I don't know where they are!
"Are you okay, sweety?"
"Yeah, I'm fine, Mom"
"Alright. Well, I ordered a pizza for dinner, it should be here in about twenty minutes"
"Okay", Oooooooooooo, pizza!
~* Twenty-Five Minutes Later *~
"Hey Mom", Jasper and Rosalie said, ironicly at the same time, when they walked through the door.
"There you are. Where have you two been?"
"Soccer practice ran late"
"Same with theatre", Blah, blah, blah..........
"And how did that go?"
"Pretty good. We're doing Romeo and Juliet, so I auditioned for Juliet. There were so many people there for the part, that's why I was late"
"That's good. What about soccer, Jasper?"
"Same. We were just practicing for the next game. That's why it took so long"
"By the way, when is your next game?"
"Next Saturday"
"Alright, I'll tell Dad so he can try to get the day off"
"Okay", This is so boring! I hate hearing about the twins constantly.
Now we're eating and the only person that's not here is Carlisle because he's working. He's a great doctor, but he's never home. Anyway, it's very quiet tonight and I'm not sure why. Usually someone starts a conversation and it goes on from there.
"I'm gonna go do homework", Jasper said and ran upstairs. For some reason he always does that. There was only one piece of pizza left and both Rosalie and I were about to take it.
"You can have it, Bella. More than two is bad for me", Rosalie said. My mouth hung open a little and I walked upstairs.
"Where are you going, Bella?" Esme asked.
"No where", I said and walked off.
