Ch.1 – Always the Little Sister

Beep. . . Beep. . . Beep. . .

Ugh – was it time for school already? Terrible news! It felt as though I'd only been asleep for two minutes. I sighed as I rolled over in bed to turn my alarm clock off. The first day of the new school year was always the toughest. It was the official mark that sleazy bikinis and summer night parties were over, and school was in. Not that I truly minded though, I was never much of a party girl; I left that for my brother Emmett.

I reluctantly got out of bed and starting my usual routine for getting up in the mornings. I sighed as I slipped in the shower and felt the hot water roll off my back. I sat in the spray for a few more moments before lathering my hair, strawberry suddenly filling my nostrils. I reluctantly got out of the shower a few minutes later and dressed in my usual t-shirt and jeans with a pair of vans. I brushed my chestnut hair and put it back in a simple pony. After brushing my teeth, I grabbed my jacket, soccer bag, and headed down stairs.

"Morning sweetheart", I heard my mother say as the smell of pancakes clouded my senses.

"Oomph", I managed to grumble out as I dropped my things by the door and headed to the table to sit down and enjoy my breakfast with what little time I had left.

"Hey Bells", Emmett managed to mumble while stuffing his face full of chocolate chip pancakes.

"I know you didn't eat the last of those chocolate chip pancakes Emmett!" The sheepish grin he had on his face told me otherwise. Oh well, I wasn't in the mood for pancakes anyway.

"I'll see you at school Em", I said as I walked out the door with a pop tart in hand. I threw my things in the back of my silver jeep and climbed the steps to get in. God only knows why I let Em put a lift kit on it, but apparently it's the 'cool' thing to do.

I rolled my eyes and smiled as I thought back to the day Emmett and his friends decided to do the lift kit themselves. For our 18th birthday, our parents got Emmett and I the cars of our choice. Mine being a jeep of course, since we did live in Forks and it did rain 60% of the time, I didn't want to get stuck. Em of course chose some gigantic thing that resembled truck. I wasn't positive though, he could have a party due to the size of the damn thing! Our mother being head doctor at Forks hospital and our father being the head (and only) police chief, I can't complain.

I was pulled from my thoughts as I pulled into the parking lot. I parked next to a familiar Ford F 150, glad that Leah was here already. I grabbed my gear from the back and headed inside to the cafeteria to meet Leah.

"Bella!" I heard Leah squeal as she ran up and hugged me. I smiled and hugged my best friend back.

"Hey Lee", I replied with a warm smile on my face. I continued to smile as I felt Leah dragging me to the table where the rest of our team was located. I heard choruses of "hellos" and felt welcomed by the numerous smiles of my fellow teammates.

"Are you ready for lunch Bella?" I heard someone ask me. A confused look crossed my features until it finally hit me – the postings for head captain were up today at lunch! I worked long and hard alongside my team all summer long for position as Varsity Captain of this years' soccer team.

"Oh please, we all know she already got it!" I heard Leah laugh behind me. I smiled as laugher burst across our table.

"Hey, it's not a for sure thing yet guys", I sighed at the thought of my dream of varsity captain becoming true.

"Oh please woman, as if you didn't work for it all summer long! Don't doubt yourself B!"

I smiled as the bell that signaled for classes to start rang. We all said our 'goodbyes' and promised to meet up in the lunch room and look and the posting for varsity captain together. Leah and I linked arms and walked to calculus together – oh joy. We took our seats in the back and I pulled out my notebook fully intent on taking notes until God himself walked in.

Jacob Black was nothing short of an Adonis with beautiful Quileute skin. He came sauntering in the room and sat towards the middle of the room next to his girlfriend Lauren Bagley. How a slut like that ever got a guy like him, I'll never know . . . correction, I do know. Standing at a minimum of 6' 5", spiked hair black as midnight, rippling muscles all over his body, perfect teeth to go along with his perfect smile, Jacob was nothing short of sex on wheels and I'm sure being on the football team didn't dampen the situation at all, considering Lauren was a cheerleader.

Unfortunately I snapped out of my trance as my friend Leah laughed at my side. I turned to glare at her.

"What?" She asked.

"I can't help but laugh B; the look on your face every time you see him is priceless!" She giggled beside me.

I couldn't help but blush as her words hit me. I didn't mean to drool at Jacob every time he came into my line of sight, which was often considering he was one of Emmett's best friends. I heard Leah sigh beside me.

"Are you ever going admit your feelings to him B? It's been what, four years that you've had a crush on him now?"

Actually, I've had a crush on Jacob Black since the day he walked in my door with Emmett eight years ago, even if I didn't realize I liked him at the time. I was only ten for goodness sakes! Although, even then he looked like a god (minus all the muscle of course.)

"And what would you suppose I do Lee? Walk up to him, shove my tits in his face and say 'Hey uhm I know you're my brother's best friend and all but I have wet dreams about you, wanna fuck!' For some reason, I don't see that going all that well, especially since he's dating Lauren." I harshly whispered at her.

"You've had wet dreams about him!" Leah yelled at the top of her lungs it seemed like. And of course everyone heard her and chose to not only stare but gape at me. Of course that would happen. Oh, and to top it off, I had to blush – signature Bella move.

"Ms. Swan, Ms. Clearwater – please keep your private matters outside of my classroom and pay attention or I will be forced to move the two of you!" The old bag of wrinkles at the front of the classroom said.

If it was any possible, I got even redder. It would also happen that Lauren and her friends were snickering in our direction and Jacob had a look of perplexity on his face as if the thought of me even seeming interested in a guy seems like an alien encounter. But seriously? – I am a girl and I do have needs. I swear everyone seems to forget that Emmett is my TWIN, being older by twelve minutes totally doesn't count. I'm always 'Swan's younger sister, baby Emmett, or Little Swan', never just 'Bella or B', god it's frustrating and boy does it put a damper on my sex life. It's just basic common knowledge that Emmett is the size of a large 6' 4" gorilla, he's like one of those John Deer tractors but bigger. And of course being a line-backer on the football team made him intimidating enough to the point where guys didn't come up to me. . . ever.

Unfortunately, I'm lacking in the looks department as well, so that doesn't help my case either. I'm not saying that I'm ugly, not at all, I'm rather – plain. I have chestnut hair down to the middle of my back that I usually just shove into a pony tail every day. I have a heart-shaped face, but I don't wear any makeup. I have a decent body thanks to soccer, but I usually just wear jeans and a t-shirt. The only striking things I have about me are my eyes. Emmett and I both inherited our mother's dark silver eyes. Mine being a little light than Emmett's, but I loved them all the same. It's not very often you see someone with silver eyes.

Yet even with my freakishly cool eye color, I still lack in the boyfriend department, which brings me to my current position – sitting awkwardly with my head bowed down and an apologetic Leah sitting next to me.

"I'm sorry B; I'm just surprised that you like him that much!" She whispered to me.

"It's not like I consciously wish to dream about him Lee, in fact, I prefer if I didn't. Fantasizing about him only makes the truth hurt worse. The day Jacob Black notices me is the day pigs fly Lee." I said with a sad expression on my face.

"Oh come on Bells, you're not ugly, Jake's just preoccupied with that slut of his." She looked at me sympathetically.

"Ya, says the most gorgeous girl on this planet. You're to die for Lee; you have guys following you everywhere asking for your number day and night. And I know I'm not ugly, I'm just not exactly pretty either. . . at least not pretty enough for Jake to notice." I sighed.

Leah suddenly got a mischievous look on her face – "Well then, let's make him notice!" She said excitedly.

"Huh?" I said with a confused expression on my face.

"Exactly! We'll make him notice you Bella! God, why didn't I think of this before? This is golden!"

"Still confused here!" I said.

"We'll give you a make-over Bella – we'll have Alice help us! She's the poster child for shopping and make-up; she'll know exactly what to do!" By this time Leah was literally bouncing in her seat and Mr. Sac-O-Wrinkles up front was about to scold us again when finally the bell rang.

"Oh thank god." I hadn't realized how long class actually was until the bell rang.

"I'll see you at lunch Bella – I'll explain the rest then!" Leah rushed out of the classroom, I assume to find Alice before her next class. I have to admit that I'm curious about what she has to say but also nervous. Leah has this way of getting us into trouble with her mischievous ideas. I sighed for what seemed like the hundredth time today and sluggishly headed to my next class – AP French - oh boy.

Lunch seemed to roll by a lot quicker than I thought it would, much to my pleasure. I grabbed my food and sat down at the table with the rest of the soccer team. For once, Leah was nowhere in-site. I ate my food along with the rest of the girls and chatted about practice starting in two weeks. I wanted to go check the postings along with the rest of the team, but Leah would kill me if went without her. Finally when the bell rang and pulled me from my thoughts, I was worried about Leah, she wouldn't miss something as big as this unless it was important. I shrugged it off hoping to find her in Biology. I looked at the rest of the girls and told them to head off to class, that I'd go to the listings myself. Everyone parted ways and I left the cafeteria following the familiar hallway to the girl's locker room. Nerves racked my body as I came up to the list and looked at the top.

2010 – Girl's Soccer Roster

Varsity Captain – Swan

Team – Calloway

Clearwater

Sage

Brown

I didn't even finish reading off the names – I GOT IT! I WAS CAPTAIN! I hadn't been this excited in a while; I wasn't quite sure what to do. I felt like dancing I was so excited! More than anything, I felt accomplished. I worked ridiculously hard this summer to gain that spot, looks like it worked out after all. My happy thoughts were interrupted by the late bell – whoops, better get to class!

I almost skipped it seemed like to class. Nothing could bring me down, not today, I wouldn't let it. Everyone gave me an odd expression as I walked in late to Mr. Tanner's class. It wasn't sure the last time I walked into class with a grin so big my teeth were practically showing.

"Ms. Swan, please get to your seat, class has started." Mr. Tanner told me raising one of his ultra-bushy eyebrows at me.

I walked and plopped down in my assigned seat which seemed to be next to Edward Cullen. I didn't really know Edward, but he was attractive, that's much was true. He had messy bronze hair and forest green eyes. He was 'every girl's dream' according to Jessica, Lauren's best friend.

As I sat down, Edward turned to me. – "Hi", he said extending his hand, "Mine name is Edward." I laughed at his antics.

"Bella." I said with a giggle. Of course Mr. Tanner glared at our talking. Jeez, I was on a role today with my teachers. I was brought out of my trance though as I felt a paper hit the back of my head. I looked at the floor to see a note on the ground.

Bella – sorry I missed you at lunch today, I was on a mission with Alice! We're going to her house after school; meet us in the parking lot! Ps. I told you that you'd get captain! – Love, Lee

I laughed at her antics and turned around in my seat to nod in her direction. I turned around when I heard Edward clear his throat.

"Sorry, I wasn't sure if you wanted to check the onion slide." He looked at me sheepishly.

"Metaphase", I said as it off as no big deal.

I guess all those nights of studying and not parting paid off a little, Edward and I were the first to finish our lab, earning us an onion as a reward.

"Hey, you're Emmett's sister right?" He asked. I rolled my eyes, that would be the first the thing a guy asks me.

"Yes." I replied curtly.

"I'm sorry? Have I offended you?" He said suddenly.

"I didn't mean to offend you; you two just look so much alike." He replied. I had to laugh at that. Emmett and I looked nothing alike except for our eyes. But I'd figure I'd humor him for amusement's sake.

"Thanks. . . I guess." I laughed.

That response earned a chuckle from him in return. He didn't have a deep voice like Jacob did – more like a soft melody of violins.

"So why did you seem so offended when I asked if you were Emmett's sister, if you don't mind me asking."

I paused for a second, "I don't get offended, that's just all I ever am – Emmett's little sister."

"Oh, well I'm sorry to have offended you, that weren't my intention at all." He smiled at me.

"What may I call you then?" He asked.

"Bella, please call me Bella." I smiled back.

As quickly as it had started, the bell rang signally class was over.

"It was nice to meet you Bella." Edward said with a smile as he bent down to kiss the palm of my hand. I blushed in return. I was a slightly awkward gesture, but I was flattered none the less. And that's how I left the classroom, with a slight blush on face as I made my way to my final class of the day – gym. Leah caught up to me in the hallway.

"What was that?" She asked nudging my hip.

"What was what?" I shrugged.

"Oh don't even Ms. Swan! Edward kissed your hand!" She laughed with me.

"It didn't mean anything, he's just a gentleman!"

"This might actually work to our advantage. . . "Uh oh – there's goes that evil look in her eyes again.

"Will you please tell me what you're concocting in that evil mind of yours?"

"You'll find out after school!" She pushed away from me – "Bye! I'll see you soon! Love you!" I heard her yell as she headed to English-Lit.

I went in the girls locker room and changed into my usual gym wear; a sports bra with the sleeves rip out all the down the sides and a pair of basketball shorts. I walked into to the gym and raised my hand when my name was called for roll. We were out on the field today playing soccer – woo!

"Swan and Reyes, you two are captains. Pick you teams – hurry up!" Coach shouted as we hit the field. I smirked to myself, I was always a captain when we played soccer, it only seemed fitting. I did a quick scan of the crowd and found out that Paul Meraz and Embry Call were both in my class. I made a mental note to pick them. Paul was captain of the boy's varsity team this year. He and Embry were the only ones from Emmett's little group that didn't play football.

"Swan, start pickin'!" I heard coach shout.

"Meraz!"

"Reyes - start pickin'!"

"Uhmm, Blanche!" I heard her yell. I had to smirk at that. Poor girl had no idea that Joseph Blanche was the worst soccer player on the planet, hell the worst at anything besides golf. He had plaid pants and 'fore!' written all over him.

By the time we finished, I had Paul and Embry both on my team. We were gonna win, that much is for sure. Once coach blew his whistle, we were off. We started off with the ball passing between Embry, Paul, or me. The 'team' came to an understanding to just pass the ball to one of us and we would get the goal. Things were going great; it was 4-0 until I saw Jacob Black running around the track with his shirt off. Good mother of God did that boy have a body to die for. And I did die, of mortification at least when someone kicked me in the head with the ball and caused me to face plant in the ground. Apparently I yelled because Jacob along with my stupid brother was bent over in laugher.

"Bella – hahaha – are you okay?" Paul managed to sputter out.

"Ugh. . ." I managed to groan. Paul helped pull me to me feet since Embry was doubled over on the ground still laughing.

"Shut up Embry!" I yelled. I looked over and saw the poor kid that him literally shaking in fear. What? Was I going to go over there and kick him back, I sure wanted to, but I'm not that mean. I pulled my shirt over my head and started to rub all of the dirt off of my face. I looked back down at my brother once I was done and saw him punch Jacob in the arm for something. Oh well. They started running the track again together. I was about to start walking to the locker rooms to change when I saw Jacob look back at me and smirk then turn around again. Damn, what I would give to wipe that smirk off his face with something besides my hand. Jeez I had it bad. I reluctantly pulled from my thoughts and headed back to the locker room. I decided not to change; I needed a good shower anyway. I grabbed my things and headed out to my Jeep. Leah's truck was already gone, so I hopped in my Jeep, turned up my bass, and headed to Alice's house.

About fifteen minutes later, I pulled up to Alice's door. I didn't even get a chance to knock before they both drug me inside.

"Took ya long enough!" Alice shouted at me. Leah and I have been best friends since childbirth, we met Alice freshman year and have been inseparable ever since.

"It takes fifteen minutes to get to your house from the school Alice." I rolled my eyes.

"It only takes me five!"

"Says the woman with the 911 turbo." She had a laugh at that.

Alice's mom was song famous artist. She did everything from sculpting to abstract painting. But because of her famous nature, she was hardly home, on the occasion she did return, she always bought Alice something new. Her last visit to Italy had lasted over a month. I guess the Italians inspired her to give Alice the 911 turbo, although I'll never know why. I always imagined the Italians as peaceful vespa kind of people. I shook my head at my ministrations and decided to get right to the point.

"Why are we here?" I demanded.

"Not that I mind being here, but what are we doing here exactly?" I corrected myself. Leah and Alice both squealed.

"We have come up with a way for you to get Jacob Black!" They yelled.

"Oh please enlighten me." I rolled my eyes.

"We're going to give you a makeover!" They shouted.

"We're going to go shopping for actual clothes, not just jeans and plain t's. You're going to get shoes besides different colored Vans, we're getting your hair trimmed and died, we're getting you waxed, and we're going to Sephora in Seattle." Alice stated as a matter of fact.

I didn't have a response. My eyes bulged out of my head! Was that really their idea? Make me into a Barbie like Lauren?

"Guys, I don't want to be another Lauren." I looked down disappointed.

"Bella! You're not going to be a Lauren, gods no. We're just going to open your horizons up a little. You have natural beauty; you just need to utilize it. You always say how gorgeous Leah and I are, let us help you." Alice put her hand on mine.

I thought about it for a minute. I did have two of the most gorgeous girls at Forks at my disposal. Why not use them?

"Alright, I'll humor you. But how is this going to help me get Jacob? I want him to like my personality, not just a low cut shirt that shows my tits off." I say.

"He will love your personality Bella! We just need to get him away from Lauren so you guys can talk."

"Plus Bella, the guys are always at your house because of Emmett. Start walking around in your spankies and a sports bra! That'll get em' talking!" Leah winked at me.

"The whole point is not to be like Lauren, Leah." I laughed.

"Well pretend like you don't know that they're their! They're in your house, remember? Plus, what better way to get a guy talking than by your brother freaking out and drawing attention to it! Emmett would freak if you walked around like that, he's Jacob's best friend, if he notices, Jacob will." Leah said.

I had to admit, she did have a point. The guys were always over at my house. Many of them stayed the night. I didn't want to seem like a slut or get Emmett mad at me, but maybe I could put on a tank top and my spankies? That wouldn't be as bad as a sports bra.

"Alright. When do we start?" I asked. I could see shock covering both of their faces.

"What? I'm all out of options. I want Jacob so bad I could cry, and if this is going to get me him, then what other choice do I have?" I asked.

"Perfect!" They both said in unison.

"We'll start Friday after school. I'll call my spa and set up and appointment with my hair stylist and the lady that does my waxes. A week from today you'll be a changed woman!" Alice cried.

I had to admit, I was a little bit excited. I wasn't thrilled with the idea of changing my whole appearance, but I did need a confidence booster, so why not. If this got me Jacob, I'd marry those two girls. We sat back for the rest of the evening and planned all the stores we would go to and what we had to do to get me ready. Edward's name popped up in the conversation at one point. That had made me a little uneasy, but they seemed to think that he would help somehow, so I just went along with it. I was excited for this weekend. I wasn't exactly sure how it was going to happen, but I guess I'd have to wait and see.

So what do you all think? Bad, good? Should I continue? I'm looking for a Beta, if you're interested, please let me know. Also, I'm not sure if I should incorporate the vampire and werewolf thing, or if I should leave it all human? What do you all think? Please review!
