I Don't Have To Try;
Alexys Swan;
"You've got to be kidding me."
I stared out the window and looked at my new home: Forks, Washington. So far, my first impression of it wasn't good. All I could see was a cluster of houses, trees, and rain, a place I
could clearly see I wasn't going to fit in well. As if life wasn't a bitch enough. It all started when I got kicked out of boarding school. Apparently, they considered me a 'bad influence' and a
'menace to society'. Because of that, all the other schools refused to take me in. My mother, being extremely strict as she is, decides to send me to some dreary dwelling to live with a
cousin. Looking out the window, a queasy feeling started to build up in my stomach. These houses were all…perfect. Not one thing stood out of place.
"Mom, who is this cousin anyways?" I asked suspiciously.
With all the last minute arrangements, my mother didn't even bother telling me the name of the people I was staying with.
"Well, the only relatives who could take you in on such short notice are Charlie and Bella!" my mother replied nervously, glancing in the mirror to see my reaction.
Bella Swan? Oh God, no! The last time I saw her was two years ago, before she moved to Forks. She was clumsy and awkward, and was always complaining about things. I don't like her.
At all. The problem is, Bella is drop dead gorgeous, and she doesn't even see it. I hate people like that. My boyfriend was fawning over her the last time we met! And she was as clueless
as a piece of bread. She makes me feel so insecure about myself. I looked at the window again, imagining me and Bella living together. I couldn't. We are so different from each other, it's
funny, but this was hardly a time to be laughing. I slumped down in my seat, pissed off as hell. Bella Swan was the person Mom considered to be a good influence? Really? I wasn't
planning on forgiving my mother for this, ever!
Bella Swan;
"Bells? She's coming! It's time to come on down!"
"Yeah, yeah," I grumbled to myself, tying my messy brown hair into a ponytail. I still couldn't believe we were having my cousin over at such short notice. When I heard the news, Charlie
told me when she was coming and all the details, but he failed to mention who she was. I had no idea which relative was staying with us, so I guess I was going to find out.
"I thought you were going to look nice for this 'cousin' of yours," said a voice behind me, and I felt a tug on my ponytail. It was my boyfriend, Edward Cullen, god of all gods, perfection of
perfection, and resident vegetarian vampire.
"Ha ha, very funny. Now remember, be on your best behaviour. I don't want anything to go wrong, okay?" I instructed to him, hoping he would take it seriously. Edward cocked his head
and smiled charmingly at me.
"You are a strange creature, Bella," he purred, his voice golden. Sometimes it's weird being the ordinary, plain girlfriend of an extraordinary vampire. I tousled his already perfectly tousled
hair and rolled my eyes.
"Just shush and let me do the talking, okay?" I told him.
Clasping his hand, I walked down the stairs to wait for my cousin. I know I planned to know who she is when she came, but my suspicions got to me.
"Alright, Dad, you can tell me who she is now and stop trying to hide it from me," I told him, and he went red. I knew Charlie much too well.
"Well, Bells, I know you're not going to like this, but Cousin Lexy is going to stay with us!"
My eyes instantly went wide with horror. Alexys? With her colourful makeup, colourful hair, and bossy attitude? I didn't like her one bit, especially since we had nothing in common. Even
though she decided to cake herself in makeup, I was nothing in comparison to her. Alexys was stunning, and I was sure everyone would fall to her knees, like they usually do. Edward
frowned at my disappointment, and asked, "Alexys? What is she like?"
At that moment, the doorbell rang.
"Oh, you'll see."
