I FORGOT MY DISCLAIMER LAST TIME! AHHH!
I do not own any of the Twilight characters, or anything to do with the Twilight saga. That belongs to Stephenie Meyer and she rocks so why anyone want to steal her work!?
Please read and review. As strange as it sounds I like reviews, I know weird right?
There we go. (:
BPOV
We had just moved to Seattle and Rosalie, Alice and I were busy with post moving adjustments to our new homes. My parents, Charlie and Renee, had kept me pretty busy over the last fortnight and so that meant I hadn't seen my friends in too long a time. But it was Rosalie's birthday today, and we were having a sleepover over at her house, it was further away than I'd hoped but still an acceptable distance, Alice's house was in between which we were happy about.
We were in Rosalie's new room, christening it with our sleepover, complete with dinner and a movie. Don't judge us too harshly, we had fish for dinner and desert was ice-cream with fruit. To be honest, I hate fruit...except oranges...God knows why. But I was eating it, in fact I ate every bit of it, it was for Rose, she and Alice ate it all too. We were feeling very proud of ourselves.
"Now all we have to do is keep it up." Said Alice, always the pessimist.
Alice never used to be pessimistic. When I first met her from kindergarten and up, she was the happiest, chirpiest, most optimistic little girl I'd ever set eyes on. Everything had a silver lining for that Alice. I used to call her positive pixie for crying out loud!
Flashback ,elementary school.
I was stood out on the playground, waiting, I was getting worried, where was Alice?
I rocked back a forth on my heels, my eyes shifting around to the other children playing happily. Nope, no sign of the pixie.
Hmm, maybe she got stuck up on a chair again, it's a long way down for her. I wondered, turning towards the school doors.
"RAWR!" Someone yelled as they pounced on me.
I screamed, it was probably that awful Emmett McCarthy playing jokes again. Wait, since when was Emmett that tiny?
"Ally!" I cried, outraged at the little form that was convulsing with giggles on the ground next to me.
I frowned and pouted at her, folding my arms.
"Lighten up, Jelly Belly!" Alice gasped as her giggles subsided. "No need to be so grumpy."
"I'm not grumpy, you just scared me!" I defended myself.
She got up and helped me up too." What shall we do for recess today, Jelly Belly?"
"Since when am I Jelly Belly!?" I asked her.
"Since I made it up and thought it'd be cute on you." Alice explained as if it was obvious.
Speaking of cute, little Alice Brandon had to be the cutest thing I'd ever seen. Her hair was short and spiky, she was small but it made her look adorable, I couldn't help but be jealous of my best friend.
Alice retrieved a ball from the ball bin by where we were standing, she kicked it and we chased after it into the middle on the playground.
After kicking the ball back and forth for a while we switched to throwing, when Alice threw the ball to me it went way farther than she meant it to.
We followed the ball, trying to retrieve it, but who should the ball land in front of but Edward Cullen and Jasper Whitlock.
If this was a cartoon, Alice and I surely would have been repeating the word "Hamana" over and over again.
Jasper picked up the ball and handed it to Alice, "Wow, you have a really good arm for a girl."
"Do I?" Alice asked.
"Yeah, I saw you throw it."
"Why, thank you." Alice beamed. She started to hop around slightly, Jasper smiled at her kookiness.
"You're good too, Bella." Edward said quietly.
I looked at him, okay I had to correct myself, Edward Cullen was the cutest thing I'd ever seen. Sorry Alice.
"Thank you, Edward." I stammered." Do you boys wanna play-"
"Eddie! Eddie! I got my shoe caught in the mud, help me!" Tanya was screaming from a distance.
Edward looked around to Tanya, he looked back to me as if he regretted having to leave.
"It's okay, we'll all play another time." I suggested.
"Yeah! We've gotta do that!" Alice said enthusiastically.
"Okay!" Edward and Jasper said smiling and then they went to go join the others.
I don't think we ever did play a game with those boys.
End of flashback.
Then when junior high hit, everything changed.
They started torturing us. Yes, Tanya Denali, Jessica Stanley and Lauren Mallory had been the bane of our lives even since then.After being beaten down by their constant insults year after year Alice lost hope. Her hair had been short, but always neat in its own way, but she grew it out as a symbol of her individuality I think.
She despised the bitches (from now on, just think of the bitches as name for those three...well...bitches), she didn't want to have anything to do with them, I suppose she classed having a pretty hair style as just that. Her hair was always ebony, but know that it was long people called her "emo". Every aspect of her personality had changed in some way or another. But deep down she was still Alice, and I loved my pessimistic pixie.
Although, the bitches hadn't always been evil demons. They used to be normal little girls, content with just being children. Rosalie had even been friends with them.
Alice had been cute in elementary school and Junior High, but Rosalie was…beautiful.
Rosalie was starting to become pretty when the bitches turned on her giving her a complex about her weight which escalated into the real thing. They had basically ruined her.
Flashback, Junior high.
Alice and I were walking down the hall of our new school, excited. We saw a streak of blonde flash past us and into the girls room.
We went to investigate.
We could hear sniffling coming from a cubicle.
"Hello?" Alice asked tentatively.
"Go away!" someone cried.
"Um. Is that Rosalie Hale?" I asked, knowing it was.
"No." She answered stubbornly.
"I think it is." Alice said, cheerily.
"Why would you lie to us Rosalie? We thought you were a good girl!" I asked in a mock shocked voice.
"If your just going to pick on me like the-" She began but I cut her off.
"Who's picking on you?" I asked seriously.
I pressed lightly again the door of the cubicle she was in. It was open. I pushed it slowly to find her sobbing, her back to us.
"You can tell us, you know. We'll understand." Alice assured her.
Rosalie then turned to us, her face stained with tears.
She explained to us how the bitches had been calling her fat. She was anything but, besides she was too young to be worrying about such a tedious thing.
"I thought they were your friends." I said.
"So did I." Rosalie said looking at the tiled floor, "But over the summer they've been acting really strangely towards me. And then out of the blue today they were just so mean! I was talking to Emmett McCarthy and then Jessica just pushed into me, claiming it was an accident. She said "Sorry, there's just so much of you to walk into"."
I looked Rosalie over, it was obvious that the summer had been kind to her. She was even more beautiful than usual.
I looked at Alice, she knew what I was thinking. We both hugged Rosalie.
End of Flashback
We had been fast friends with Rosalie ever since.
No matter what we told her though she always thought she was fat. She turned to comfort foods. Kind of ironic.
And me, well I had never been pretty, but everything about me was wrong now. I just couldn't muster up the energy to try.
Just then there was a knock at the door, Rosalie's parents walked in.
"Happy birthday sweetie!" They sang.
"Aw, mom, dad." Rosalie cringed. Alice and I chuckled.
"Would it make it better if we said we had another present for you?" Her mother, Cassandra, asked laughing.
We all sat up then, Alice and I interested, Rosalie excited.
"Maybe." She replied, dragging out the "a".
"Well, It's for all of you. Follow us." Her father, John said leading us downstairs.
"We've seen that you girls have been making a real effort with the whole healthy eating thing. We're very proud of you." John said, as we made our towards the room that none of us had been allowed in for the last fortnight we had moved to Seattle.
"So, we figured that to be truly healthy, you have to have a balance of diet and-" Cassandra said as John dramatically threw the door open.
"Exercise!" They both exclaimed.
We looked into the room that was a home gym. An awesome one at that! Treadmills, weights, aerobics areas the works!
"Do you not like it? We worked on that introduction all week." Cassandra said sadly.
"It's amazing!" We all exclaimed at the same time.
They beamed at us.
EPOV
It had been a fortnight since Bella, Alice and Rosalie had moved from Forks. I couldn't feel more horribly about it.
"We should have stood up for them." I groaned again to Emmett and Jasper.
"We know." They said mechanically.
Jasper sat up on his bed. "I feel so bad, those girls are so sweet. The nicest girls in our year by far."
"In Forks." Emmett corrected.
"Or they were." I corrected.
We all sighed.
"Can…can I tell you guys something?" I said slowly.
"Sure." Jasper said.
"What's up?" Emmett asked.
"Bella…Bella was my first crush." I said, embarrassed.
They stared at me.
I huffed. "I know it's stupid, I just-"
I was cut off by Jasper saying, "Alice was mine."
"Are you kidding me? You sad people!" Emmett smirked, trying to keep up the male bravado. It failed him. "Mine was Rosalie."
"I don't feel anything like that for Bella now but…I still think of her as the little girl who was my first crush and that's something that cant be taken away." I said, resenting Tanya and her crew.
Jasper and Emmett nodded in agreement.
The joint break up between me and Tanya, Emmett and Jessica and Jasper and Lauren was not a pretty thing the next day.
BPOV
Misguided Ghosts- Paramore.
Okay, it's a beautiful song but not what I'm looking for right now.
Uprising- Muse
Hmmm, that could work, another great song, but just out of curiosity…
Hello, Brooklyn- All Time Low
Yes! That's what I'm talking about! That'll get my heart pumping.
"What are you so excited about?" I heard, muted.
I took out my earphones and turned to see Alice and Rosalie dancing along to Lost in stereo (remix) by All Time Low.
"Landed on an awesome song, that's all." I grinned holding my I-Pod up and waving it. The song changed. "Crap! It shuffled."
That distracted me, I almost fell of the treadmill I was running on.
As I balanced myself, they laughed, "Enough for one day?" Rosalie asked.
"I think so." I said stretching. My body was getting more used to the work out, we'd been doing nothing but hanging out, working out…damn I thought I'd be able to think of another that ended with "out"…anyway…
You could see a drastic difference in Rose already, she was getting slim again, and with all the healthy eating she'd retain her curves too. The work out wasn't hurting Alice and I either. We were getting toned, maybe even…dare I say it, getting some curves too!
Alice took her long hair out of her messy bun, it fell upon her face, damp.
"Alice." I said.
"What?" She asked muffled by her hair.
"Cut it!" I begged, putting my hands together so it looked like I was praying to God.
She lifted her hair back to expose her face and walked over to me, "Never!" She exclaimed. Wow, had she grown? She was never able to look me straight in the eye before. No, not in three weeks! That's stupid! But maybe she had been getting taller and no one noticed, she was just midget-emo to everyone besides us.
"You will get it cut, Alice." I said mock threateningly.
"Oh yeah?" She said barring her teeth to expose those shiny braces. "Well you'll have to catch me first!"
She ran from the room giggling, giggling! Alice is giggling! Somebody pinch me!
Rosalie and I looked to each other, pleasantly surprised looks on our faces.
"I get the shower first!" We heard Alice yell from the top of the stairs. Man, she is fast.
"No fair!" Rose and I called as we ran after her, laughing too.
I hope you liked this chapter. Writing about the girl's past was cool.
By the way, sorry if the physical transformation of the girls isn't very realistic, I'm not quite sure how that would work so…yeah.
