The day I woke up it started like any other. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and an alarm was blaring Britney Spears in my ears. I woke up, yawned, and stretched before realizing that something was very… Wrong…. The blanket didn't feel like my blanket and the pillow was way softer then I remembered and the scent surrounding me was unfamiliar and yet strangely familiar. Like when you enter a store for the first time in years, but you never knew where the smell came from.

My eyes snapped open only to be bombarded with an eye-bleeding amount of pure, unadulterated PINK! I screamed loudly in shock and terror, my throat wanting to tear itself out. I leapt out of the bed and stumbled back against the wall, a mirror to my right caught my eye and the second I looked into my reflection I screamed again. That is NOT me. My hair wasn't this light brown wavy mess and my eyes weren't these crystal clear blue- wow it looks pretty… ANYWAY and I was not, in any way, skinny! The door to the room I was in swung open and a worried couple stepped like they were expecting to find a murder scene.

"Jessica, are you okay?" The woman asked. I stared wide eyed in terror at the unfamiliar woman, the man came and stood next to her with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Must have been a nightmare. Look Jess, you're 12-years-old now, no more screaming like that after just waking up, we know your brother does it but that's because he is only 5-years-old."

I was suddenly hit with a boat load of information that caused unbelievable pressure to my head. These were my parents and my little brother they were talking about was Maximus… But…. I'm not 12, I'm 21! I have 3 younger brothers not one… and … I was in a happy relationship, and my son had just turned one year old…

It is possible that... all of that was a dream…? But for some reason, I feel different.

"Sorry Daddy." I said softly, looking back at my reflection. This was something to get used to.

I blinked my tired blue eyes open. I stared up at the pale purple ceiling of my bedroom. The birds were unusually loud today.

Sitting up, I rubbed my head. My hair had darkened as I got older. I rubbed my eyes as I sat up slowly, stretching my arms above my head before I stood up from my bed after throwing back the covers. I made my way to the small white dresser in the corner of the room next to my closet. I pulled out a change of underwear and matching bra and a pair of form fitting jeans. Next was to pull my favorite frilly purple top. I thought about a book from my past life/dream self, and how I shared a name with the minor character, but it was a dream and there is no way that I am that person! Yeah! No way! I quickly got dressed before going over to my desk with a small mirror sitting on it. I stared at my reflection and smiled. I like this face of mine, much better than the one from before and easier to manage with routine washing. I run a brush through my loose curls and once that was taken care of I stood up and grabbed a pair of lavender socks and pulled them up before sliding on my favorite dark purple converse.

As I was just getting ready to leave my room, rapid pounding on the door startled me.

"Jessie! Hurry up! It's your first day of your 10th grade year!" My little brother's voice screamed through the wood. I swear he was more excited about it then I was.

I rolled my eyes. This is getting ridiculous. At least in this life I'll actually finish high school. "I'm coming Max, shut your trap!" I swung the door open hard enough to have him fall into my room. His dark brown hair fell into his bright green eyes as he looked up at me from my floor.

"Morning!" He grinned widely, causing me to roll my eyes once more. I loved this kid, don't get me wrong, but seriously, he can be annoying. I guess that's just the curse of little brothers.

I was only 15, going on 16 but still, living through puberty again sucked. At least in this life I'm not a nutcase with Bipolar and ADHD issues.

"Come on squirt, lets go and get some breakfast." I snorted and shook my head. My brother quickly came to my side and held my hand. He was only 8 but he was really clingy.

"Hey Jessie, I'm turning 9 soon!" he said excitedly. "Soon I will be taller than you!" He gave me a toothy grin, he was missing two of his teeth, one on the top and one on the bottom on the opposite sides. His cheeks were freckled and it was really cute. I ruffled his hair which he proceeded to complain about.

"I know you're turning 8 soon, and guess what! You've got a long time before you even hope to be taller than me." I knew I was kidding myself, I was 5'1", shorter than I was in my last life. I shook my head, before hopping down the stairs. "What's for breakfast Mommeo?" I asked, grinning as I sat down.

"French toast and eggs, don't expect this every morning. I don't work today, which is why I was able to make you breakfast." My mom turned and handed me a plate of food. Mmmmm. I love mom's french toast.

"Don't worry, I can handle breakfast if I get up early." I grinned before digging in.

Maximus made a blech face before accepting a plate from our mom. "You're cooking is gross."

I glared at him. "I'm not that bad and you know it." I pointed my fork at him. "I burn the eggs once and I can never live it down. Not my fault we didn't have any butter or spray..."

He laughed before quickly scarfing down his food.

Once I finished, I put my plate in the sink. Today I started my sophomore year at Forks High. To be honest, I wasn't looking forward to it. But at least I don't do too terribly at school. If you call getting straight A's terrible that is. It felt good being smart, since in my last life I held a D average if I was lucky. I can't help but keep thinking back to my life, I missed my family. But I love this family too. Out of sight out of mind.

I shook my head and grinned. "Time to go!" I grabbed my jacket and gloves. "I'll see you after school!" I called as I grabbed my bike helmet and bike lock. Stuffing the bike lock into my purple and yellow backpack I made sure I had my house keys before slamming the door behind me.

Once I hopped down the steps of the porch I went and got my shiny metallic purple mountain bike from the garage. My pride and joy, at least until I can get my first car after getting my license. I strapped on my purple bike helmet and started the ride to the school. God, I love that everything can be bought as purple, I just need a reason for my mom to take me to Hot Topic for purple pants. I smirked slightly. I can't wait to see Angela and to ask her how her family trip went. Angela was my best friend, she was quiet, bookish and nerdy and I loved it.

Once I reached the school I locked up my bike at the bike rack, double-checking the lock, and skipped happily towards the usual hang out where Angela, Eric, and I usually hung out. Seeing the two black haired kids I grinned and burst into a hug. "ANGIE!" I screamed once I was close enough to tackle her in a hug. "How are the twins?" I grinned after I finished laughing.

"They're good. Both brats as usual, but good." Angela replied after finally calming her heart.

"Cool, I should bring Maximus over to play some time, he misses his friends." Her little brothers were a year younger than my brother but he got along with them well enough.

"They would like that." Angela agreed with a smile.

I grinned back at her. "So! Let me see your schedules!" I held my hand out with a serious expression to both her and Eric.

It was halfway through this year that it happened. Something that shocked me to my core. The Cullens registered. They were sitting at my friends usual table, all cool and sparkly, not literally sparkly but god damn were they beautiful. And man that was a lot of white.

I snorted. Just my luck, huh? I gazed around before my eyes landed on Angela getting harassed by a girl named Lauren Mallory.

Storming over I took my tray full of gross cafeteria spaghetti and casually dumped it onto the front of the snobby blonde's top. That was definitely not going to wash out of that pale blue shirt.

"Ooooooh!" She screeched, turning her sharp blue eyes in my direction. "You'll pay for this, Stanley!"

"Try me, Mallory." I replied, shoving her out of the way and plopping down next to Angela who was too nice for her own good to stand up for herself.

Lauren stood there sputtering as she tried to find the words to combat what I just said, but I knew she wasn't smart enough for it. Yeah, she's got good grades but she also knew I would throw it back in her face if she tried. I've been doing it since middle school after all. Perks about this high school not having a zero tolerance policy yet.

Deciding to ignore her, I turned to my red-faced best friend and gave her a scolding look. "Are you okay?" I asked, tilting my head so I could get a better look at her..

She nodded silently, adjusting her glasses so that they were more up her nose. I didn't miss that one bit. I'm so happy I don't need glasses in this life.

I looked and quickly noticed Eric taking his seat across from Angela. "Who the heck is sitting at our table?" he muttered.

I shrugged. "Beats me, I couldn't tell you even if it's to save my life." I cringed, laying it on too thick Jessica, dial it back a bit.

Sitting without eating at lunch was becoming a norm for me. I was either wasting by dumping it on Lauren or it was just too nasty to eat. I spent the whole half hour talking with Angela and Eric, catching up on missed weekends.

After the last class of the day, which I shared with both Eric and Angela, I waved goodbye to them both as I headed to the bike rack to unlock my bike and ride home. It was February 8th, 6 days before my birthday which fell on Valentines day. I winced slightly, I hate that. I miss having a September birthday.

Turning my bike down towards the road I turned and caught eyes with the copper haired cullen. I felt myself freeze. Why the fuck does he get to be so beautiful?! He's not even a girl!

I felt myself go red. I hate that. I thought I was pretty, but next to him I look like a hobo! Slamming my helmet onto my head in annoyance I climbed onto my bike and rode away as fast as I could without crashing my bike or slipping on the ice.

I felt tears fill my eyes, from the wind or from the frustration I couldn't tell.

Once I reached my house, I stored my bike back in its place in the garage and I quickly stormed into the house, I knew from the look on Ben's face that he wanted to ask me something but he could tell I was angry and he was a bit apprehensive to ask.

I just ignored him and ran up the stairs to my room. I hate my life already! Almost 16 years old and I can't stand living in this world… plopped onto my bed and screamed into my pillow. I must have laid there with my face smushed into its squishy surface for 15 minutes at least before I looked up and stared at my headboard covered with my favorite stickers from my childhood. I looked at Princess Aurora and Ariel with a contemplative expression on my face. I just need to figure out how to keep Edward fucking Cullen from reading my thoughts, that's all. Easy. I think…

Sitting up, I decided the best course of action was to do my homework first and worry about this later, Grabbing my bag from where I dropped it at the foot of my bed. Pulling out my textbooks and homework pages, I was quick to get to work.

I must have been working for an hour before a tentative knock pulled from my concentration. My door creaked open slowly and Max`'s small face peeked in.

"Can you help me with my homework Jessie?" He asked softly, almost meekly. I gave him a smile and patted my bed next to me. His face broke into a wide grin as he ran into my room with his book and at least six pages in his hands. It looked like one page for each subject.

I smiled a bit nervously. It didn't look like he did his homework at all in the time he had been home from school. If anything, I'd bet he spent the entire time watching TV.

"What don't you understand buddy?" I asked, taking the first sheet he handed me, it was math.

"We're doing multiplemcations… I don't understand it at all.~" He whined.

"It's 'Multiplications', and what don't you understand?" I corrected him, before looking down at the first problem.

6 x 2 = _.

Huh, that's easy. "Look at this one," I held the paper out so he could see it. He frowned as he stared at it. He was only in the third grade and always took some extra time to catch up with his classmates, he just needs to see things in a new angle. I shook my head, not the topic to be focusing on.

"I don't know…." He mumbled, looking down at his jean clad lap.

"Well… look at this way, what's 6 + 6" I asked, setting the paper down to get some scrap paper.

He frowned even deeper as his brow creased, his thinking face firmly in place. "Um…. 12…. Right?" He took long pauses as he figured out the answer.

"There you go, if you can't figure out the answer, try to count in groups, like see this problem?" I pointed to the next proble = _ "If you can't figure it out, try doing it this way." I took the scrap paper and filled out another problem 5 + 5 + 5 = _ I handed it to him.

"Okay." He nodded slowly taking the paper in his small hands.

"Remember the times table in your folder." I patted his head before going back to my own homework. We worked quietly for about 10 minutes before he was able to finish his math homework. We worked like that with all of his subjects but he was able to write down most of the solar system without my help, except for spelling Uranus… and having to be corrected on pronouncing it.

I noticed the time about an hour later, it was 6:30, a bit passed dinner time. Mom and dad weren't home yet, but I did get a text on my little flip phone from my dad that they were running a bit behind schedule so they weren't going to be home until late.

Climbing over Max to get off my bed, I stretched before looking at my brother who was dozing. I'll wake him up once I finish making dinner, I think some simple mac n' cheese with hotdogs or tuna sounds pretty good right about now.

After making my way down to the kitchen, I quickly grabbed the box of mac n' cheese and once discovering we had no hotdogs, I grabbed a can of tuna. Putting a pot of water on the stove to start boiling I went about grabbing other ingredients and seasonings to mix in.

I heard my brother coming down the stairs just as I switched on the radio. Old Time Rock and roll by Bob Segar started blasting from the speakers, causing me to laugh. I picked up the spoon I was planning on using to mix everything.

I used it as a microphone as my brother and I danced around the kitchen in our socks, slipping and sliding like we were ice skating. Maximus had grabbed a frying pan and proceeded to use it as a guitar.

I leaned down to his height so he could use the 'microphone' to sing the final words with me. "With that old time rock and roll!" He collapsed to the floor from laughing too hard and I finally got the food all mixed and prepared after cooking the noodles. I have no idea when I put them in but they were cooked. I served us both a bowl and set them at the table.

"So, how was school?" I asked, spooning a mouthful of the ooey gooey cheesy goodness into my mouth as I waited for him to respond.

"It was good, Jackson and I played superheroes at recess!" he said excitedly. Jackson was his best friend.

"And what superhero were you?" I asked, although I knew the answer.

"Captain America of course!" He grinned excitedly. Practically bouncing in his seat from the excitement. "Jackson was superman today, he was batman last time."

I grinned a bit. "That's good, do you like your new teacher? I know that Ms. Jenson had to take maternity leave."

He gave me a slightly confused look before nodding. "Mr. Robison is pretty cool, he makes history interesting." He grinned widely.

"Well, that's good at least." I smiled. "I remember when you would get in trouble for falling asleep during that lesson."

Max grumbled. "It's not my fault it's so boring!" He frowned up at me as he began to shovel his food down his throat as though he were inhaling it rather than simply chewing it.

"Slow down or you're gonna choke!" I scolded him. He finished rather quickly.

"I'm gonna go brush my teeth and go to bed." He said quickly before putting his bowl in the sink and running up the stairs.

I shook my head. "He's going to give himself a stomach ache." I muttered, finishing up my dinner in silence before putting away leftovers and washing the dishes. After I went upstairs, I checked on Maximus and snorted slightly. His shirt was on backwards and his pants were inside out as he was climbing into bed. I shrugged my shoulders before going to take a shower and brush my teeth.

Once I was dressed in my pjs I checked on Maximus once more, only to see that he was fast asleep. Shrugging, I turned off the hallway light and went to my room. I saw he had picked up his homework already, I decided to quickly finish my book report before going to bed after seeing that it was only 9pm. Once that was done, I crawled into bed and turned off my bedside lamp. Tomorrow is a new day.
