Starting to Live Christa POV

Another day, in the boring town of Forks, well at least my friends and I think it's boring. We moved here since Edward and I were 13. My dad received an offer here so we all decided to move. Edward and I look nothing alike, well except for the pale skin we both have, he has my dad's eyes beautiful emerald green, I on the other hand have my mother's eyes: gray-ish, blue-ish color. Edward has a kind of lean body, what I mean is that he has muscles but not the kind of muscles people who are on steroids have, he has a nice body, not that I'm checking my brother out but the jerk knows what he does to women and he only takes advantage of it. His hair is a weird but gorgeous shade of bronze, my mother's hair, lucky jackass; well I can't complain I got my daddy's hair, dark brown hair, almost black. In appearance we are the exact opposites, you might think I'm ugly if I don't look like my brother at all, but he doesn't seem to think so.

"Eddy, bro. would you have liked for us to be identical?" I asked, raising my head from his lap so I could see him better. We were in the living room's couch, reading, I had my head in his lap as usual. We did this since we both learned to read. Today I decided to wake up early, so I woke Edward up ha, even though he hates waking up early and even more for just reading.

"Nope. Want to know why?" he smiled. I nodded at him.

"I wouldn't 'cause you have your own beauty, with that body you have you always make a man crazy, and you know that," he gave me a pointed look, I smiled at him innocently, "Well to make it short, you have a freaking super model's body, beautiful face, mom's face, but in your own kind of way," he smiled, caressing my cheek, "And those eyes, amazing shade of gray-ish ,blue-ish color. Sis, I wouldn't have wanted us to be identical because, you're beautiful the way you are, Christa." Ha, see he doesn't think I'm ugly, and personally neither do I. I let out a giggle, oh how love my brother. I loved to hear him say that, and you can't blame me, what girl in this earth doesn't like being called beautiful.

"Thank you, I never get tired of hearing you say that." I kissed his cheek and stood up, pulling him with me, or at least I am trying to pull him up.

"Come on, Edward, we need to get ready."I whined, ugh boys! Since we woke up at six am, we didn't start getting ready for school 'cause we were reading and it was now 7:00 am. If I don't hurry up, we'll end up getting at school 'till nine and school starts at 9:30 am. I have to admit that I take too long getting ready, plus we still had to eat breakfast. You might ask what the problem is if school starts at 9:30, well us, Edward and I, and our friends always arrive at school an hour early to see each other, yeah crazy but we love being together.

"Hun, you need to start getting ready, after all you're the one who lasts forever." He smirked, throwing me over his shoulder, and started running toward the stairs.

"Edward! Put me down!" I squealed, I started hitting his back, damn if this boy drops me, oh he'll so pay!" Damn Edward be careful!" I yelled at him, when he started going the stairs two by two.

"Sis, you're not gonna fall." He laughed, holding me tighter.

"Yeah, I better not." I muttered. When he got to my bedroom he helped me to my feet, told me to hurry up and get ready, and then he went across the hall to his room. In the mean time I was getting out of the shower, and started getting ready.

After an hour and exactly 10 minutes, I was ready, and right on time Edward started knocking on my door.

"Christa, you ready?" he called, still knocking. Geez, boys are so impatient.

"Yes, come in." I called back from my closet; I just needed to finish putting on my boot. He came in and groaned.

"What?"

"Why, did they decided to change the uniforms this year, the skirts were short enough last year, now they're even more!" he started whining, and I started laughing," Now the guys and I will have to go even more, protective over you girls. On the bright side, get to kick the asses of the guys who keep staring at my lil' sis." Leave it to him, to find it awesome to beat up guys. And again he was right, the uniform's skirt is now like four fingers below my ass, last year they were like about mid-thigh. But the uniforms are so cool and hot compared to other schools that I won't complain.

"You have to admit that they're way better then last years." I smirked at him, finally able to put on my freaking boot,"Hey is it too cold outside?"

"Kind of. Christa at least take your coat please." Ah, again with the protectiveness', and we're not even at school yet."Remember its always kinda cold in the morning'."

True, I got my black coat from the hanger, my phone,my car keys, some of my make up and threw it in my purse. After putting on my coat, I turned to my brother, who was now waiting patiently in my bed.

"I am, Eddie, relax." I smiled; ha he hates that nick name.

"Chris don't call me that, you know I hate it."I tucked my tongue out at him, and raced out the door. Incredible and I was wearing hills.

"Come here," he called, and I could hear him starting running behind me. Only matter of seconds 'till he catches me, my dear brother is fucking fast. All of a sudden two strong and familiar arms wrapped around me, picking me up, and taking me to the garage.

"Edward, what about breakfast? I'm hungry!" I whined, if I don't at least get my orange juice in the morning I'ma be all cranky 'till lunch.

"Don't worry, sis, we'll stop at McDonald's to get you your orange juice." He affirmed, putting me down in front of my cars, "Which car you taking?"

"Of course my Lamborghini!" I exclaimed happily, I absolutely adored my Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, it was perfect for school, well it's the less flashy among my cars, or so I think.

"You takin' the Ferrari or the Lamborghini?" I asked, opening my car door and putting my purse and my backpack in the passenger's seat.

"I'll take my Lamborghini, Rose would kill me if I ruin her entrance, remember she wants her car to be the only red one, she already called Anne to tell her not to take her mustang." True when Rosie wants something, you don't get in her way unless you want to get on her bad side, and trust me it's not pretty. We've seen Rosalie mad too many times. I nodded at my brother, remembering all the times Rosalie got angry with other kids, ugh it makes me shudder.

"Yup, I prefer a happy Rose then an angry one." He only nodded and went to get his car keys from the hanger-like thingy were we putted all of our keys then he went to his car and turned it on. My phone started ringing, damn the twins already getting impatient and it's not time still. I got my phone out and sure enough, it was Alice who was calling.

"Good mornin' Alice, Anne." I greeted, knowing she had me on speaker and Anne was there listening too.

"Mornin' Chris." They both sang,"Hey I just called to ask if you guys were ready."Alice's musical voice asked through the phone.

"Yes, Ali, we're ready. I'm just gonna stop at McDonald's to get myself an orange juice. You girls want something?" I asked.

"No thanks." They said in perfect harmony."Put us on speaker." I did as they asked, and gestured Edward to come closer, again knowing that they wanted to say something to him.

"Good mornin' Edward!" they all but sang again, I giggled.

"Mornin' girls, sorry but I'll give you two a proper hello when we're at school. We have to go if you want us to be there on time." He explained apologetically.

"No worries Ed see you at school." Anne said.

"Yeah, see you guys at school, bye." Alice giggled at the phone.

"Bye." Edward and I said.

"Well sis get your ass in your car and let's go." Edward exclaimed pushing me toward my car, I laughed.

"Yes, sir." I saluted him, laughing. I turn on my car, putting the music on all the way and accelerated out of the garage, Edward right behind me. 8:20, great I hope they're no cars in the drive-thru. In less than two minutes I got to McDonald's, awesome no cars. I ordered my juice, speeding down the street Edward still behind me, damn only five minutes. I called Edward, and put it on speaker.

"Bro. race ya'?" I asked.

"You're on. 50 bucks I win." He declared smugly.

"1… 2… 3!" and with that, I stomped down the pedal and my car roared to life. Edward right next to me now. Fuck, we have to turn, ugh he's gonna win. I could see my friend's cars getting into the parking lot, right on time. Wonderful, I owe Edward 50 bucks. Damn it he just won 'cause of the turn, oh well I got in after him. We parked in our usual spots, I drank my juice fast, long enough for Edward to get out of his car and open my door for me.

"I win." He smirked,"You owe me $50." he offered me his hand, and I took it not before slapping his chest. He faked hurt, and helped me out of the car.

"Lucky Bastard!" I glared at him.

"Aw, you still love me." He kissed my cheek, and we walked toward our friends who were greeting each others.

"Chris!" Anne and Alice screamed, I squealed and went to hug my best friends.

"I missed you girls." And I truly did, I hadn't seen my friends in a month when our parents decided to take us to Canada.

"We missed you too." I kissed their cheeks and moved on to Rosalie.

"Rosalie!" I squealed again. I basically jumped into her arms.

"I missed you too, sweetie!" she laughed, hugging me tighter.

"Christa!" Kristen and Angela sang, I let go of Rose after kissing her cheek and turn to hug the girls. Not before letting another squeal out.

"Ah, I missed you two!"

"We did too." They gave me each a kiss and a tight hug.

"Oh and no kiss for me?"

"Jasper!" damn I'm squealing too much today, ah who gives I missed my friends.

"Muaaaa!"I gave him a big kiss on the cheek; he picked me up in a huge hug. Putting me down and kissing my forehead.

"Ah, I missed you darlin'" he exclaimed, giving me another hug. I giggled.

"I missed you too Jazzy," I gave him another kiss in the cheek, in return for the hug," I'ma go hug the guys." he nodded, and turned to hug his girlfriend, Alice, they looked into each others eyes, their gaze full of love and devotion, I turned away feeling like I was interrupting their moment.

"Demitri!" I sang, and ran to his waiting arms. He twirled me around in his arms.

"Munchkin' I was going crazy without you! What would I do without my partner in crime, my other half, my little munchkin, my—"

"Oh, shut up," I giggled," I missed you pumpkin'!" He laughed, and told me to go hug my boys, before giving me a kiss and another hug.

"Zac, Dylan!" I squealed, they turned around with huge grins on the faces.

"Babez!" they yelled, I jumped on Zac and then hugged Dylan tightly.

"I missed my boys!" I kissed their cheeks, and gave them another tight hug.

"Hey sugar." Two arms wrapped around my waist, and I let out an excited scream.

"Gabriel!" I squealed," I missed you!" I turned around to hug him, Ah how I missed all my best friends, I love them, I have no idea what I would do without them.

"Missed you too," he kissed both of my cheeks and my forehead,"Damn next year we need to do something together, all summer."

"Yeah, we definitely have to." I laughed.

"Aw, how cute. Isn't this such a lovely moment, Violet?"

"Sure is Nat, but guess what?" the voices of the two bitches I didn't want to hear, said from behind me, "It's pathetic." Breathe, Christa, breathe, you need to calm down. Edward sensing my mood came up to me. I turned to face Natalie, Jacob, Violet, and their group right behind them.

"What the fuck do you want?" I glared at them,

"Ooh, the little princess is mad." Lauren taunted.

"Watch it, Mallory." Rosalie warned.

"Or what?" Victoria asked," What you gonna do?" moving closer to Rose, Rose being Rosalie moved even closer to her pushing her slightly when their bodies touched.

"Rosalie, ha what's that bitch gonna do?" Natalie smiled at her, Rosalie turned to glare at her.

"The same thing I will do to you if you keep talking to her like that." Now it was my turn to glare at her, "Don't push me, Smith. You wouldn't want your pretty little face ruined, again. Would you?" I smirked.

"Try me, and we'll see whose face gets ruined." She smiled back at me."We could do it right now and get it over with." This bitch is pushing me too far. I started shaking slightly, if she keeps saying shit like that, we'll end up pretty bad— my brother's arm wrapped around my waist, and he started whispering in my ear, interrupting my thoughts.

"Christa, she's not worth it sis. I promise you'll get her back, but not now. Wait 'till there no teachers around at least." The last part made me smile, oh I love my brother. I could see Gabriel do the same with Rosalie, trying to calm her, but failing miserably. He basically had to grab her by the waist, pushing her back with him, James doing something similar to Victoria.

"Sure, Smith. Whenever you want, just let me know." I smiled at her. I could see anger, determination and a little shock and fear in her eyes, but she hid it quickly. Maybe remembering the last time she got me pissed and I ended up on top of her punching the hell out of her, i just had a feeling she wont let that happen again. I turned around and walked away, with my brother's arm now around my shoulder. But when I turned to my left, I saw the most beautiful guy I had ever seen, he had short dark-brown hair, he was a bit more muscular then Edward, he looked so hot, and I thought the uniform made other guys look horrible in them, of course besides my friends and unfortunately Natalie's group they putted their own touches in their uniforms making them look good in them. But this guy looked absolutely gorgeous in the school's uniform, his eyes were a beautiful gray color and his lips, oh god his lips I wanted so badly to kiss those lips. Oh my god what is this guy doing to me, I haven't even met him and I already wanted to make out with him. All these thoughts happened in matter of seconds, good thing I'm good at hiding my emotions, much to my brother's dislike. Though he always ends up knowing anyways. I threw the guy my favorite smile, and he winked back at me. I giggled and continued on walking.

"Oh I'm already loving this school year." I said out loud for my friends to hear. They laughed with me.

"Oh yeah, this is going to be a great year." Edward agreed, I had a feeling this comment had to be about the girl who was next to my beautiful guy, who in fact was not ugly at all, she had pale skin, brown head with kind of red highlights in it, she had a perfect body, curves in all the right places, beautiful blue kinda green eyes, I'm impressed usually all the girls that had blue eyes we're all freaking' dumb in this school, well of course again besides my friends, but she looked like a smart, funny and cool girl. Bet we'll end up being great friends.

"Why do I have a feeling you two, are saying that 'cause of the newbies over there." Alice grinned at us. Edward and I laughed.
