So I was watching Legally Blondes and an idea popped into my head. "What if Bella was a twin?" So I made this! I just want you to know that I'm gonna put this symbol- ∞ if I have a scene I don't want to describe if it was already in the book. And also some things from the book or movie aren't gonna be in here because I may not like it, or it doesn't fit with the twin thing. Hope you enjoy it!!
Double The Trouble
Chapter 1: New Home. New School. For Two.
BPOV
"Oh girls what am I gonna do without you? You know you can still back out." Our mom, Renee, said almost crying. We were at the airport in Phoenix about to get on a plane but not without a goodbye from our mom. worry." I tried to reassure my mother. Tried being the key word.
"We'll be fine mom. You go with Phil, and we'll be with Charlie. No need to
"But you guys haven't seen your father for over 10 years. How can you be so sure?"
"Mom have we ever disappointed you? Besides Bells and I have each other and c'mon he's our dad and he loves us. What could go wrong?" My identical twin sister, Ellie, said. It's always Ellie who comforts people. My mom was extremely against us leaving Phoenix just because of her. And to tell you the truth I'm pretty reluctant too. I'd miss the heat. But as long as I have Ellie I think I'll be okay. After all, it was her who convinced me to do this. The night before I threw a fit about leaving but she calmed me down. (I was gonna do a flashback, but you all know how stubborn Bella is so you can kinda guess how that went down.) We're more than sisters we're also best friends, who tell each other everything. We've never kept anything from each other. Nothing. If Ellie wasn't doing this I wouldn't be doing this. Except we kinda had to.
"Yeah besides we wouldn't be doing this if we didn't want to." I glanced at Ellie and she looked back, knowing what I really wanted to say. "Yeah besides, you know me and Ellie we can't be apart so if I she didn't talk me into it then I wouldn't be doing this. I mean not that she wants to do this either." But I knew that wouldn't convince Renee to let us get on that plane. So I did the easy thing. I lied. However that usually doesn't work. I've always been told I was a horrible liar. However, Renee was pretty gullible.
"Flight B45 to Washington, now boarding. Flight B45." A voice from overhead said.
"Oh, alright. I guess I'm gonna have to let you go. Don't forget to call everyday, and e-mail." Renee said her voicing getting louder as we walked away backwards.
"We will!" Ellie and I shouted simultaneously. I've always been clumsy, so it wasn't a surprise when I fell backwards, tripping over my own feet.
"Oh! Bells are you okay?" Ellie said reaching out her arm. I took it and she pulled me up.
"Yep, I've kinda become immune to it." I laughed. Ellie laughed and we kept walking.
The flight wasn't that long only about a half hour. Once we landed and got off the plane, we looked around for Charlie. Once we spotted him, we started to walk over.
"Ugh what a surprise it's raining." I said quietly to Ellie.
"Would you stop? We're doing this for mom. I don't want her to be unhappy, because we couldn't take a little bit of rain."
"A little bit? Face it Ellie we're never gonna be dry again." Ellie laughed. We reached Charlie and gave him a hug.
"Hi girls. I've missed you." Charlie said sincerely.
"Us too." Ellie replied.
"Well let's get home." He said, taking our bags.
The drive home was awkward. Ellie and I just kept looking at each other, wondering why Charlie wasn't talking. Once we got home, things were better. Ellie and I went upstairs to our old rooms. I put my stuff down in my room and looked around. (you all know what Bella's room looks like so I'm not explaining it, and as for Ellie's, just pretend it looks the exact same.)
"Hey Bella. Dad said we start school on Monday." Ellie said. "And since today's Sunday… we start tomorrow." I closed my eyes and fell back on my bed.
"It sucks that we start in the middle of the semester." Ellie nodded and walked out.
EPOV
"Ellie wake up! C'mon wake up!" I woke up to Bella shaking me. "C'mon Elle we start Forks High today. Ugh!" I laughed. I know she was frustrated with the whole, new home, new school thing, but my sister could definitely be funny when she didn't want to be.
"I'm up, I'm up." I wasn't what you would call, an early riser. I like to stay up late. However, my sister is definitely not a stay-up-late kind of girl. Bella loves waking up just after sunrise. I like waking up just after sunset. We may look alike, but we are different in some ways.
Bella and I left the house ten past seven. Dad said the school was just a few minutes down the road. He gave us directions and Bella drove our new car. It was a Chevy pickup truck. Perfect for us, might I add.
When we got to the school we noticed a lot of people staring at us. It was very uncomfortable. I mean it's like they've never seen twins before.
"Everyone's staring." Bella pointed out the obvious.
"Like I hadn't noticed. I mean it's like we're aliens that have come to take them all back to our home planet." I laughed. Bella laughed too and we kept walking into the first building. We made it to the office, without dying of embarrassment, got our schedules and a map of the school, and left for homeroom. Bella and I were in two separate homerooms, which, of course, sucked.
As I was walking to homeroom, I was stopped by a boy. He was smiling way too wide, to the point where it was scaring me.
"Hey, uh your- you're uh Isabella?" He looked pretty certain, but said it as a question.
"Actually that's my sister." I said. I was about to introduce myself but he did it instead.
"Oh so your Ellen?" Ellen. Ugh. Way too formal.
"Ellie." He repeated it and smiled.
"Oh um I'm uh I'm Mike." This guy was really annoying me. I was gonna be late for homeroom, and considering it's my first day, that's not good. I don't want my first impression to be someone who's always late.
"Look Mike I gotta get to homeroom. I'll see you around." I walked away and heard him mumble a quick, "Bye".
My first few classes were pretty uneventful. Then came lunch, where I met up with Bella.
BPOV
"Bells!" I turned around to see Ellie walking towards me. I stopped walking towards the lunch table Jessica and Eric were sitting at, and waited for Ellie to catch up.
"Hey Elle, so how were your classes?" I asked as she stopped in front of me. We started walking towards the table.
"Boring. What about you?" I laughed. Ellie always found school boring.
"Eh. Nothing major. So meet anyone?"
"Just this one annoying guy, Mike." She whispered to me. He was probably around here somewhere.
We got to the table and sat down next to each other. When some guy decided to speak. I think his name was Tyler, but I wasn't so sure.
"Whoa guys. Pinch me I must be dreaming. I'm seeing double beauty." We blushed and pushed our hand behind our ears at the same time.
We talked for about ten minutes until I decided to look around the cafeteria. I noticed five teenagers, all staring at me and Ellie. I got confused.
"Who are they?" I asked the table. Everyone looked to what I was looking at.
"The Cullens." Angela answered simply.
"They moved here from Alaska like two years ago. And they're all together. Like together together. They're all adopted. They're foster parents, Dr. Cullen and Esme Cullen, like, can't have kids so they just adopted. They went a little overboard if you ask me." Jessica explained. "The blonde one is Rosalie Hale, and she's with Emmet, the big one. The short one is Alice; she's really weird, and sometimes she just like spaces out, for no reason. Anyway, she's with Jasper, the other blonde one." Interesting, but she left one out.
"What about him?" She knew who I was talking about.
"Edward Cullen. Totally gorgeous, obviously, but he doesn't date. So don't even try." You could tell by the way she was speaking that she was one of the girls who was rejected, no doubt.
"Wasn't planning on it." Ellie and I replied.
When the bell rang, Ellie and I made our way to our next class, Biology, which we happened to have together. (Don't get mad. I was debating for a while whether they should both be in the same Biology class or not. I came up with something that I could do if I did. But you'll just have to wait till that happens to find out what I mean.) When we got to the class we noticed there were two seats empty and both were separated. Well kinda, I mean one was by the window and the other was in the middle, and they were in the same row. Also, they were next to each other, with a gap between the two seats, but still they were separated. The worse part was, one was next to Mike and the other was next to Edward Cullen.
"Ah. The Swan twins in the same class. Well this will be confusing. Well uh, Isabella why don't you sit next to Edward and Ellen you sit next to Mike, there." I could tell Ellie was annoyed by her partner, but I wasn't gonna say anything.
We took our seats. As soon as I sat down…
(You know how Edward reacts.)
"Man Bella. What happened with Edward?" Ellie asked as we walked out.
"I have no clue. He acted as if I was gonna do something to him. I felt so uncomfortable." She laughed and we walked towards our next class, which, surprisingly, we had the same one again. Too bad I hated it. Gym. Ugh my clumsiness just makes me hate it more. Ellie's lucky she is klutz free. Not fair if you ask me. We're twins we should both be clumsy. But no, Ellie had to be the lucky one.
Gym was absolutely horrible. I fell down five times, and got hit in the head with the ball, during dodge ball, twice. Even Ellie laughed, but can you blame her? I didn't get mad though, because I could see in her eyes that she felt bad for me.
After school we walked through the parking lot and to our tuck. People were still staring and I didn't know why. They had to of known that we were. Just then Edward and his family walked out and everyone turned to either look at me or Edward. Man gossip travels fast it was just three hours ago. Edward and I locked eyes for a split second and then I shook it off.
"Gees what is with that Edward dude?" Ellie asked me.
"I don't but he's kinda creeping me out a little."
"Actually I think you're the one creeping him out." Ellie said as she got into the truck. We both laughed.
"Well honestly I don't care. If he wants to hate me, he can hate me. After all, he's just one person."
"True. But there are five of them."
So what'd you think? Please review! I don't care if it's good or bad. The more reviews the faster I'll update! This is my first AU story so please help me out! I just want you to know that SOME stuff that was in the book won't be in my story. It's either because I have a better way of doing it or it just doesn't fit. Also some stuff will be out of order. And just remember when they say they tell each other everything, they mean EVERYTHING. :)
Okay so I'm wondering about how Bella and Ellie figure out the Cullen's secret. Ellie will find out there's no doubt, but what I want to know is when do you want her to. Do you want 1. Her and Bella to find out at the same time or 2. Ellie finds out after Bella does? Please review and say only 1 or 2 and then explain why. If you have another idea or want to say something on what could happen if Ellie found out after then please tell me cause I kinda have a view on both but would like some of your ideas to be in the story too. Please tell me!!!
I will not be updating to 2010. I really just want to see how the feedback is before I continue, but I have already started writing the next few chapters. So please review and if I get enough I MIGHT update before 2010. MIGHT!
