Disclaimer: This does not belong to me but to the lovely Stephenie Meyer.
I began my life in the way that most people do.
My mother had me in the hospital while my father cut the cord. I had a brother who has very excited for playmate but didn't realize that an infant can't toss a ball back to you.
The only thing wrong with me was myself. I was ugly. Most people grow out of the ugly duckling stage but I wasn't like most people.
I had awful vision, which meant I had to wear huge, black, plastic frames for glasses. I also wore my short, mousy hair in a terrible bob that looked horrendous on my face. My mouth was full of braces that seemed magnetic to any food that somehow made its way into my mouth.
My biggest issue during my childhood was dealing with my weight. A lot of children had issues with this but mine was something I never felt like I could overcome. I didn't know to fix it so instead of fixing it I just ate more.
During my younger years everyone always told me that I was perfect and I didn't need to change but I knew that they were just saying that. I was ugly and nothing anybody said to me could change that.
Regardless of any of my issues, I had an amazing family and friends who seemed to support me.
My family consisted of my father, Charlie, my mother, Renee, and my older brother by five years, Emmett. We were the Swan's and I seemed to be the only Swan that had the stupid "ugly duckling" gene. We were a perfect family, the four of us.
The Cullen family had been friends with the Swan family for as long as I can remember. My father and mother went through both grade school and college together with Dr. Carlisle and Esme Cullen. Carlisle and Esme had a son and a daughter.
Edward was the oldest child of the two children; he was the same age as Emmett, five years older than me. Edward was as handsome as could be and had had a forever crush on him. I mean who wouldn't love the guy that seems to bend over backwards to make sure that his family and friends are happy.
Alice was their daughter and my best friend. She was the same age as me but she still tried watched over me like a mother would. She was constantly telling me how to dress and act to impress. I didn't usually take her advice but I enjoyed her company very much.
We all went through the Forks school system together and were the best of friends much like our own parents.
My younger years went along without much difficulty besides the constant teasing about being "four eyes", being overweight, and having awful mousy brown hair. This seemed to happen to everyone though so I never really paid a lot of attention to it because I had an amazing best friend and two older boys who were constantly looking over me.
Everything was as it was supposed to be until I had hit my middle school years.
As most people know the middle school years are tough on anybody and especially on someone who has trouble with their body image. Everyone at school would call me names and put me down but I always had my family and the Cullen's to help me through.
Halfway through my sixth grade year I found out the news that would change my life, family, and friends forever.
