Pride and Prejudice
It is a truth universal acknowledgement that a young woman does not exactly need to be in want of a husband at such a young age, well it was a young age for her, to her mom she was already classified as a spinster. Even though she has told her mother many times that it was the twenty-first century and that a woman who was twenty- five years old and not married was considered normal, her mother still didn't listen. So now here is the story of how a woman who never intended on having, or getting a husband ended up landing one.
"Lizzy, Lizzy, come on wake up I have news!"
Elizabeth heard the sentence being whispered in her ear by her older sister Jane. Elizabeth groaned and rolled over in her soft bed and tried to burrow deeper in her comforter.
"If it is mom on the phone tell her I have cramps and cannot talk to her". Elizabeth replied.
Their mother had a tendency to call fifteen times a day and that is when she was busy doing God knows what. Elizabeth opened one eye and saw her sister's long hair pulled into a high ponytail and her eyes shining down at her.
"Our dear mother just called to tell me that someone was finally moving into that mansion they called Netherfield. She says the millionaire Mr. Bingley is moving in, along with his sisters, or sister I believe." Jane replied
Elizabeth chuckled and lifted her head up to look at Jane. Her sister was beautiful there was no doubt about that and there was also no doubt that their mom was trying to hook up Jane with the new millionaire coming to town.
"You do know as soon as mom heard that she started seeing wedding dresses and her beloved Jane walking down the aisle with doves flying!" Elizabeth answered back to her. Jane shook her head her ponytail swinging back and forth.
"Not true! Lizzy she could be trying to match make anyone of us!" Jane said. Elizabeth just shook her head at her sister's words. Jane was the eldest of five, Lizzy the second. While Jane was an average height with a mix of light and dark brown hair, with hazel eyes inherited by their mother and a beautiful elegant face, with a slim figure, Lizzy was the complete opposite in some parts. Elizabeth had long curly dark brown hair, with bright green eyes that had a touch of grey, which many people said was her best feature, which she inherited from her grandmother.
She was also petite with a height of five feet and one whole inch, not that it really made a difference. While having a slim figure she had curves and a bust, which came in when she was in the sixth grade causing the young girls who were in her class to make fun of her because she was out of her training bra before them and causing the boys to look at what they thought was her eyes. While Jane was the elegant beauty, Elizabeth was as some people say the sexy type of beautiful. She used to hate when people would say how her, and her sisters were exotic because of the colour of their skin and eyes. Their mother was white, and their father was a black man from the Caribbean. All the Bennet girls had a different physical trait to them in their looks that made them different from each other. Mary dyed her hair red to be different from the group which nearly caused their mother to have a heart attack and had grey eyes. Kitty and Lydia the second youngest and youngest both had a black birthmark under their eye, and to separate that similarity Kitty had cut her long brown hair to her shoulders.
Their mannerisms were entirely different too. Jane was the sweet, loving and caring sister who saw nothing but good in the world, Lizzy was the sassy, witty, and saw the world through as she said her majorly tinted sunglasses. When things were good, they were good, but when things were bad, she didn't try to pretend things were peachy. Mary was the, well it was hard to describe Mary sometimes. She went through a gothic phase, then what she liked to call her enlightenment phase. Where she started playing the piano all day every day. It was fine in the beginning until she started singing with her playing, and if there is one thing Mary can't do is sing. Kitty and Lydia were basically the same people. Even if Kitty was older, she followed Lydia around like a lost puppy. They were flirts, Lizzy was sorry to say it, but it was true. Guys and nothing but guys were all they worried about. Which in turn made Lizzy worry for them, but her mother said that it was girls being girls.
"That is very unlikely Jane, and you know it, but there is something else is there?" Lizzy questioned her sister. Jane smiled and nodded her head, placing her hand on Elizabeth's arm and rubbed it saying "Mr. Lucas is hosting a party at his hotel, and mom said we have an invite and that we must go! Come on Lizzy it would not be boring, and Charlotte would be there! You will have a good time, I promise." Lizzy watched her sister and watched as Jane's face lit up in excitement, Lizzy sighed she would do anything to keep Jane happy. "Alright, fine I will go, but only for you and Charlotte!" Eh one party wouldn't hurt.
