Ellie's POV

So, mornings, great right? Just kidding.

I'm pretty sure all normal functioning humans find mornings as deplorable as I do. So why my best friend Nat does not makes me wonder how she is one, a human I mean. You see, Nat practically lives at my house. her "home" isn't quite nice (we'll get to that later) and with well off parents like I do, we have plenty of room. Ergo, she sleeps over a lot. She even has her own drawer and section in my closet.

On the topic of my room, let me inform you it is an outlier in my mansion style home. My twin sister (you may know her, Lydia Martin, "most popular girl in school) finds my room "dark and cluttered" but it's me. Honestly, I thinks she's just jealous I have the bigger room, but I pulled the "I need space to practice dance" excuse. We may have very different opinions but I mean she's my twin sister, I love her. we are polar opposites, but it works. Like Yin and Yang.

So back to this beautiful morning.

"Wake. UP!" I heard the familiar voice of illegitimate roommate Natalie, Nat, yell as she chucked the pillow she used the previous night when she slept on my couch, again. I lifted my head weakly from the duvet cover that I had somehow tangled up around my head and saw her standing there, fully dressed in her usual dark brooding attire, but for once she looked...classy. "It's the first day back, so look nice," she said before swiveling on her heel and marching back to the couch, aka. her bed away from bed. Growling I buried her head back down. Damn Nat, knew that once I was awake I couldn't go back to sleep. With this dilemma I dragged myself up and grabbed a few items from my closet before remembering what Nat said. I threw the sweats back in my closet and grabbed some heels and a blazer. These were dressy so I "nerded" them up by adding a pair of pineapple socks, a space themed skirt and a Zelda t-shirt. Lydia would approve half of my outfit at least. I clacked my way to the bathroom. I shoved Nat's dark makeup to the side of my messy vanity, and started to heat up my curling rod while I tried my hand at winged eyeliner.

Let's just say, it was a shaky hand. So I wiped it off and went with a light coat of mascara. By then everything was heated so I curled my short hair so it was bouncy and wavy. I sprayed hairspray all over it, managing to cough up a lung in the process. How does my sister manage this everyday. I made my way back to room to see Nat sprawled out on her "bed", my velvet couch, scrolling through her phone on some website. She must have heard me because not two seconds had I walked in, she rolled over and stood to her full height. She wasn't too short, only about 5'2, I only stood a whopping 2 inches taller than her at 5'5. Luckily we both wore heels, so we stood a heck of lot taller than normal.

"Do you want to stop for breakfast or be brave and see what my mom managed to scrape together?" I asked as I dumped my books into my backpack. My mom tries to cook for us, but never really turns out well. Grabbing her bag as well, she shook her head.

"We can stop by the diner, Carol won't mind," She replied leading the way downstairs. She stopped in her tracks. "Your cars in the shop, we have to ride with Lydia," She groaned stomping her foot.

"Don't whine you loser, I'm pretty sure we have toaster waffles in the freezer," I replied with a roll of my eyes. Her eyes lit up at the word waffles, and she raced down ahead of me. There are few things that can get past her dark exterior. Aparently one of them is waffles.
I made my way to the kitchen at a much more leisurely pace. By the time I reached the kitchen I found her sitting in front of my toaster her head rested on her hands in wait, with what I'm guessing, waffles inside. She was so funny looking, that I couldn't help but laugh. Lydia pranced and in took one look at Nat and shook her head. She was about to leave, and I could tell because she had her coat and keys.

"Wait!" I cried. "Don't leave yet, we need a ride." She rolled her eyes and tapped her foot, sending Nat a glare before giving me pointed glare. This was how we communicate. I heard a pop and Nat made her way over to us juggling a hot waffle in one hand while on hung out her mouth.

"Weh cwan gwo now," She gurgled though her waffle. I laughed and noticed Lydia hold in her giggle before she swiveled on her heel. We trailed behind a sashaying Lydia to the car. Nat looked over to me worriedly and I caught it before she could hide her face.

"Whaaaat?" I asked as we made our way down the long driveway.

"Nothing, I just want to make sure you're okay, it is your first day of school in Beacon Hills since you were 12," She said sending me a sideways glance. Whoops..? Did I mention that?

Yeah, so I was accepted into a math and science program in the sixth grade. Lydia decided to stay in Beacon Hills, reasons unbeknowndt to me. The reason I stayed longer than eighth grade is because I was a counselor for a year, but being o close from my best friend and twin sister. The camp was great, and I really delpoed my own style and found my passions, which funnily enough was science fiction. I kid you not if you want someone to recite a Star Trek episode or give you a complete layout and detailed map of the Death Star, I'm your girl. My sister found it gross and weird but it's just something I really like. She teases me that she got all the feminine genes and I the masculine, but what she finds finds masculine about Skyrim, I don't know. Plus my childhood love of superheroes never went away.

"I'll be fine, plus now that I've grown into my body, and gained some damn confidence, I wont be scared to talk to anyone, and I wont be the awkward sister of Lydia anymore," I said pushing some hair behind my ear.

Lydia sent a glare over her shoulder. "Just don't embarrass me." She said bluntly.

So? What do you guys think? Who do you thinks ends up with who? This is a weird chapter, but I just wanted to test out these characters and really try to get their style and personalities across. Ellie is played by Emma Stone, and Natalie by Maddie Hasson. Sorry for so many links, I just really like to have a picture to go along with the story it helps me, at least. Please reveiw and favorite!
