Let's Crash The Party

EPOV:
I scratched my head in distress; this was not a good start to the day. I had approximately seven minutes to shower, change and try and tame this mess I call my hair. Why the hell didn't my alarm go off? Oh yeah, because that pixie sister of mine decided to get payback on Emmet and me, just because we un-colour co-ordinated her closet… I don't see the big deal, but hey, I'm a guy, so what do I know?
'EDWARD! You have two minutes until you have to leave for school, are you nearly ready?' Mom shouted up the stairs. Jeez, even when she shouted she managed to sound nice, what was up with that?
'Yeah mom, I'm almost done' I replied with fondness. So what, I love my mom! She is the best, that's why we spend most of our time at my house hanging out rather than at Rose or Jasper's. My mom, Esme, will make us snacks, ask us about our day, and generally just do mom things. However, that is also the reason we have the parties anywhere BUT here. Can you imagine people reacting to my mom bustling around asking if anybody needed a refill? So not cool.
Not that I liked going to these parties, anyway. If it were up to me I would stay home and play my piano, or maybe get a head start on that literature homework… But, well, I have a very persuasive sister who I did not want to get on the bad side of. Running late today was nothing compared to what she's done in the past… I shuddered at the thought of it.
'Edward, Jazzy will be waiting for us!' Allie squealed up the stairs. Shit. I forgot we were picking up Jasper today… I raced down the stairs.
'Sorry Allie, but it's not my fault that my alarm mysteriously has broken.'
She just gave me a smug grin and hopped into my Volvo. I called out a quick goodbye to my mom before we sped off to pick up Jazz. Naturally, Alice decided that on the way there I should be filled in on all the gossip that happened over the weekend. Like I cared.
'So, there's these new kids starting today, and apparently they both like, super attractive!' Allie rambled on.
To any other guy, the thought of a hot new kid coming to their school might pique their interest slightly, but not me. I know this sounds cheesy, but to me, it really wasn't all about the looks. I mean sure, I can appreciate when someone's pretty, but when they've got a head full of nothing… It just puts me off. Em teases me for being the 'prodigy child' because I get straight As in all of my classes, and I'm in an advanced program, but it's not like I can help it. Some people may see me as snobby, for not wanting to go out with someone less intelligent than me, but I just can't see myself carrying on a relationship for that long if they couldn't keep up with me. Okay, so maybe I am a bit snobby, sue me. Also, none of the girls seemed particularly interested in music at school. I mean, it was only me and Ange in our music class. Who, if you're wondering, is completely taken by Ben Cheney. They totally fit together, and they're both good friends of mine, so I could never see her that way anyway. Alice is still going on about these new kids!
'There's two of them, a boy and a girl, twins just like us! They're juniors too. So anyway, they were at the party this weekend, Rose saw them and she said their names are Bella and Jake. How cute is that! Jake is already with Nessie, I mean, can you believe that? They only moved here Friday, yet already he's snagged a cheerleader. He works quick, I'll give him that. Rumour has it Bella was turning heads too.' She nudged me, 'Maybe this will be the girl who finally steals your heart, Edward!'
I shook my head at her, 'You know, and I know, that that is exceedingly unlikely.'
She sighed, 'I know Edward.' I felt bad for her; all she wanted was for me to be happy like she was with Jazz. Speaking of Jazz…
'Jazzy!' Allie squealed, while her face lit up like all her birthdays had come at once. He was just as bad as her, though, if not worse.
'So whipped' I muttered to myself as we drove towards Forks High.
BPOV:
I woke to the sound of my alarm trilling, as I fumbled about trying to make it stop. God, my head heart, what happened last night again? Slowly, I started to remember Jake and I had gone to our first Forks party, thanks to our neighbour, and now Jake's girlfriend, Nessie, inviting us along. It sucked. I hate parties anyway, I would much rather write a new song or maybe re-read Wuthering Heights again but Jake was having none of it… You see, I'm very shy, but my twin brother, Jacob, is the complete opposite. Just by being in the room everybody seems to be happy and smiley, I haven't met a person who doesn't react to Jake that way, it's just natural.
It still amazes me how we're both so different, yet exactly the same. Jacob is my very best friend, and we have a very strong bond. So, how could I say no to going to a party with my very best friend? As soon as we arrived, though, he left to be with Nessie, and I had to fend for myself. I was not amused, to say the least. I knew nobody here! However, sensing my distress, a lovely girl called Angela came up and introduced herself and her boyfriend, Ben. We found that we actually had lots in common, and that we would be in the same music class. I wondered how she knew it would be her class I was in, but she laughed me off, informing me that there is only her and one other person in the entire grade doing music. How bizarre. So then Angela introduced me to a few others, called Jess, Mike and Erik, before she ran off. I didn't particularly like any of them, especially the boys, who were constantly leering at me, so I drank away my troubles with shots, and lots of them.
This is how I have ended up with the worst hangover ever on my first day at a new school. I also feel guilty for my Dad, Charlie, since how he was the one clearing up my puke at around two thirty this morning, poor guy. Not exactly the best impression to give the father you haven't seen in over seven years. You see, when Jake and I were about 9 months old, my mom decided she couldn't bear living in Forks a moment longer, so left with Jake and I, leaving my dad all by himself. After that, we visited him over Thanksgiving, and a week over the summer, but when I was about 10, I decided not to see him any longer. It was selfish of me, I guess, but I just couldn't leave my mom all by herself while I went to Forks with Jake, a place I hated anyway. It just seemed to make sense to let Jake go and for me to stay, that way neither mom nor dad were lonely. I knew my dad didn't understand which was why we were here now.
After mom got remarried last year, I decided I would make up for lost time and move in with my dad permanently, because mom wouldn't be lonely anymore. Naturally, Jake wanted to come too, he loves it so much in Forks. So here I am, sat in my Fiat 500 driving to Forks High School. I hoped I didn't see Erik, Mike, or Jessica again, way too embarrassing! I cut the engine and took a deep breath. Yet again, I was by myself, due to Jacob going to pick Nessie up this morning. I looked down at my outfit, wondering if I had overdone it slightly. I doubted whether anyone else had seen the new Dolce and Gabbana collection, never mind be dressed from head to toe in it for school.
I nervously fiddled with the hem of my skirt before stepping out of my car into the lot. I looked around, every single person's eyes were on me, and I could already hear the whispers. I spotted Angela, and decided I may as well say hello, so strutted up to her without looking back.
