Chapter 2, Twin Intoxication

I heard a horrible beeping sound and it took me a moment to realize what was going on. When I finally figured it all out I reached over and shut off my alarm clock, I got up and stretched and noticed that someone had set out clothes for me already. Damn that Alice I thought. I listened more closely and I noticed I could hear her singing Piece of Me my Britney Spears in the shower. I headed over to my vanity to see what Alice had picked out for me and to also turn on my hair straightener. I picked up the note Alice had left on top of the clothes.

Bella,

Don't worry it's nothing too fancy and I'm letting you wear your converse. So please no violence when I see your beautiful face. Your hair would look cute either down or in a messy pony tail the choice is yours. And don't forget natural looking makeup with no blush. I love you twinie poo. Alice

She is so sweet I love how she finally started giving me some choices instead of completely taking over. I picked up my outfit to find my favorite faded pair of pre-ripped blue jeans, my blue black and white swirled belt, a blue tank top, a white tank top, my black zip up hoodie and my blue converses with white laces. I wanted to run into the bathroom and hug Alice for giving me just a simple outfit but in the back of my mind I knew this was just making up for what she wanted to do to me on the first day of school. I sat down and careful straightened my hair so it was perfect. I heard Alice getting out of the shower as I started my makeup, all I put on was some foundation, cream colored eye shadow, black eye liner and mascara. I quickly got dressed pulling my hood over my head and grabbed my Ipod and shoved it into my back pocket with the headphones sticking out like a little tail and headed down to the kitchen. When I got there Mom was already there plating some eggs and waffles. I sat down at the table and she set a plate and the peanut butter in front of me. I smiled at her and starting eating away. I didn't notice Alice come downstairs until Mom whistled. I turned to look at my twin and my eyes nearly popped out of my head. Alice was wearing white skinny jeans with black high heel boots over her pants, she had a blue tank top with lace on the top and bottom under fitted black blazer. Her hair was perfectly spiked and her makeup was runaway worthy.

"Hot damn Al, are you sure we are related?" I questioned.

"Bella, where did you pick up things like that? It must have been those kids you hung out with back in Chicago." Mom stated.

"I'm sorry Mom, can we please just not bring up them?"

"Sorry honey. Well Alice are you hungry?"

"No, I ate earlier. It's about time to go though." Alice mentioned.

"Well isn't someone dressed up and in a hurry? Alice you have nothing to worry about they will still have room for you two." Mom answered.

"Mom, I don't think Al here is worried about seating. I think she wants to get there early so she can scope out cute single twin boys," I told Mom, Alice suddenly got really interested at her shoes but we could both see the blush.

"Alright then let's go so Alice can find her man candy." Mom said as she headed for the door purse in hand.

Alice looked at me, "Do you think she will embarrass us today?"

"Me no, you yes." I answered as Alice and I headed to the door. "Hey do you want to put weird names on the name tags they will probably make us wear?"

"Bella, what makes you think I would want to do something like that?"

"It was just an idea don't get your panties in a bunch. Let's go before mom starts playing some annoying crap she calls music."

Alice and I locked up the house and headed to the car where our mother was already fiddling with the radio controls. As soon as we got in the car I put my iPod on and Alice started talking to Mom about the outfit she had planned for school on Monday. Knowing Alice she has had this outfit picked out since we first heard we were moving. I was fearful of what she had picked out for me, but knowing my sister it will somehow match to whatever she wears. The drive to Port Angeles wasn't too bad Alice talked the whole time and I thought of a new song I wanted to try on the piano. The next time I looked out the window we were stopped at some rec center.

"Well my lovely girls here you are. I will be back at 4 to pick you up. Let me know if anything changes or you want to hang out later. I love you." Mom spoke all of this in one breath.

"Alright Mom, see you at 4." Alice and I answered together as we got out of the car. Mom chuckled as she drove off.

Alice took a deep breath and grabbed my hand. I gave her hand a tight squeeze and lead the way to the front door. Right when we walked in we saw a table with a bunch of blank name tags and marker on it. I looked over at Alice and wiggled my eyebrows, she just smiled at me and walked to the table and filled out a nametag for each of us. I was happy when I saw she put Bella instead of Isabella like she likes to do sometimes. We moved off to the side and started looking around at the people and things around us. I was trying to see if there was some sort of drink or snack station when Alice elbowed me and whispered,

"Coffee in the far right corner." I glanced over and saw the beautiful coffee my sister spoke of then I grabbed her hand and drug her to where it was. We almost took out three sets of twins on the way passed them. While I was getting my coffee Alice leaned against the table to survey the room.

"Right now I only see one girl that could be our age."

"You mean she is alone?"

"Well she probably has a twin somewhere but I can only see her."

"So are we going to stand here all day or should we go say hi?"

"We are going to go say hi, I think she is going to become a great friend to us. I also think she has a brother twin."

"Well lets go find out." With coffee in hand Alice and I walked over to this amazing looking blonde. The girl looked like she should be on a runway not here at some crazy twin thing. Her blue eyes looked bored and kind of cold. By the way she was dressed you could tell she loved to shop. Yes, I thought Alice can have someone other than me to drag along in the mall for five hours. Alice was the first to approach this blonde girl.

"Hello, my name is Alice and this is my twin Bella."

"Hey," the blonde girl spoke, "my name is Rosalie and the blonde boy in the chair over there is my twin Jasper."

"I figured you had a brother." Just then a boy kind of built with bronze hair walked up and put his arms around Rosalie and kissed her cheek.

"This is my boyfriend Edward and the big guy behind him is his twin Emmett. Guys this is Alice and Bella." When Alice saw Emmett her eyes got big and her mouth dropped open. Sure he was good looking but he was so big. He could probably eat Alice if he got hungry enough. I pinched Alice's arm to get her to shut her mouth. She quickly put a smile back on her face and stuck out her hand to shake Edwards and Emmett's hand. Emmett ignored her hand and I could see Alice was hurt at first and then he picked her up into a giant bear hug, and while he was still holding Alice he picked me up too.

"I can't . . . " Alice started.

". . . breath Emmett!" I finished. They all laughed as Emmett put us down.

"Wow, I've never met twins who actually finished each other sentences," Emmett said.

"Let's go grab some seats and talk." Edward finally spoke. Rosalie led the way to where Jasper was already sitting. When we got closer I was able to see his face better, he had blonde hair like his sister's but his was shaggy with one of those pieces that wouldn't stay out of his eye. His eyes were just as piercing as his sister's but look liked they held many more secrets. He pulled his headphones out of his ears when he saw us all coming towards us.

"Jazz I want you to meet Alice and Bella. They are new here." Rosalie stated. Jasper looked up at Alice first and then me, Alice was too busy flirting with Emmett to notice but I gave him a nod and a smile and sat down. Once everyone was seated questions were just fired all over the place. I learned that Rosalie and Jasper lived in Forks and have been there since day one. They lived with their dad not too far from us actually. They were only a couple months older than us. Edward and Emmett on the other hand had just moved to Forks about three months ago. They lived with their dad on the other side of town. All four of them were juniors like us so at least we would know some kids at school. We had been sitting for about an hour and I had ran out of coffee so I was in desperate need.

"Does anyone else want anything while I get more coffee?" I asked while I stood up. Rosalie, Jasper, Edward and Emmett all said no. "What about you Al, want anything?"

"No Bill I'm fine." She said never once looking away from Emmett. I quickly made my way to the coffee and back in no time.

"I have a question," Edward looked confused, "Bella when you got up why did Alice call you Bill?"

"That's easy," I started, "When I was younger I used to call her Al when she was being lazy like Al Bundy off of Married with Children and she didn't like having a man's name so when I would do something nice or polite she would call me Bill like Bill Cosby from the Cosby Show. I guess over the years the names just stuck." Everyone started laughing and even Jasper smiled. I looked down at my watch and realized how quick time had passed.

"Hey, Alice it's already 3:30 Mom will be here soon."

"You guys don't have to go. Rose and I can take you home you are just down the street anyways. We always go to the diner after these things so you can just go with us." Jasper said looking at me.

"Bella that sounds like so much fun, can we please." Alice looked at me with her puppy dog eyes.

"Are you sure that's alright?" I questioned the rest of the group.

"Of course I don't mind driving you home." Rosalie answered. Edward just nodded.

"Hell yeah it's alright!" Shouted Emmett.

"Alright then that's settled. I will go call mom. I will be right back." I headed outside where it would be a quiet. The phone conversation with my mom was quick she said to have fun and be careful and that she might stay late in Port Angeles because she met up with some old friends. As I was turning around to head inside I saw Jasper resting under a tree. I decided to get to know this mysterious and handsome creature. I went over to the tree and plopped down next to him.

"Hi," I whispered.

"Hey," he answered. I was beginning to think that if this was all the conversation was going to be then I was wasting time. I was considering going back inside when he started another question.

"If you put your iPod on shuffle what are the first five songs that come up?" I pulled out my iPod and put it on shuffle mode.

"Well let's see Lollipop by Lil' Wayne, Perfect Lover by Britney Spears, No Sleep Till Brooklyn by the Beastie Boys, Fight by A Rotterdam November and The Older I Get by Skillet." I looked over at him to see his reaction but the half smile never left his face. "What are your first five on shuffle?" He grabbed his iPod out of his pocket and turned in on shuffle.

"Well I don't know if my songs will be as interesting as yours but my first five are; Slow and Low by the Beastie Boys, Whisper by Evanescence, Saying Sorry by Hawthorne Heights, Starstrukk by 3OH!3, and The Freshmen by the Verve Pipe." He looked over at me nervously. I smiled at him.

"I have most of those songs on my iPod as well."

"Well great minds have the same taste in music." I laughed; he looked like he was about you say something more but just then Alice came running towards us.

"Guys come on I'm starving! Bella get up I need to eat now before I die." Alice was being dramatic. I looked over at Jasper.

"We should probably go before Alice brings on the fake tears" I started to get up. Jasper quickly rose and waited for me to get up. We were heading towards Alice and the others when my foot hit a crack in the cement and I braced myself to meet the sidewalk but I felt two arms wrap around me so I wouldn't fall. I looked up and Jasper was bringing me into his chest. He looked down at me.

"Are you alright, Bella?"

"I'm fine thanks Jasper. I should have been expecting it I usually don't make it this long in a day without falling on my face."

"Well I guess I should stick close by to save you from your feet." His face held that beautiful half smile.

"That would be nice." I felt my cheeks turning bright red especially when I realized I was still cuddled to his chest. We quickly parted and headed over to the rest of the group.

"Emmett and I are going to ride together in his jeep and Rosalie and Edward are going to go in her BMW so you two have the choice of what car you want to ride in." Alice said. I saw a plan hatching in her eyes but I waited to say anything.

"Well my stuff is already in Rose's car so that's where I'm going." Jasper answered. Then suddenly everyone was looking at me for my answer.

"I have never been in a BMW so I think I will ride with Rosalie if that's ok." I blurted out. I swear I saw a twinkle in Jasper's eyes when I said that.

"That's perfect," said Rosalie, "now let's get a move on it."

We all headed towards the cars. The ride to the diner was filled of Rosalie and Edward telling me about the students and teachers at Forks High. Jasper sat in the back just listening. I told them of my run in with Mike and during my story I saw Jasper stiffen out of the corner of my eye. I would have to get him alone and ask what that was about. Dinner at the diner was great we all joked around like we had known each other forever and the food was good. On the ride home we were in the same cars, Rosalie and Edward argued about cars and things I know nothing about. I slowly drifted off with my head against the back window. The next thing I remember I was being carried into the house. I looked and saw Jasper's beautiful blue eyes looking down at me.

"Where are Alice and my mom?" I whispered.

"Alice is already in her room; Emmett drives like a maniac so they beat us. And your mom got here the same time we did. She let me in. Now which one is your room?" I felt that we were going upstairs.

"I can walk you know. Just put me down."

"Nonsense I've already taken you this far and I'm not setting you down until we get to your room. I have to save you from your feet remember."

I sighed. "It's the first door on your left."

"Perfect. Now can you open the door?" I twisted the door open and he pushed his way in. I tried to jump down but he wouldn't let go yet. Then he walked over to my bed and set me down gently.

"Can I ask a question before I go?" Jasper asked nervously. I could tell he was nervous because he was running his hand through his hair and he was looking all over my room.

"Of course you can." I answered with a smile.

"What are your five favorite songs?"

"Well that's an easy one," I smiled at him, "here is my list; XOXO by Fall Out Boy, Ohio is for Lovers by Hawthorne Heights, Hey Jude by the Beatles, Here in Your Arms by HelloGoodbye, and Sweet Transvestite by Tim Curry in Rocky Horror Picture Show. What about yours?"

"I will tell you first thing Monday morning, but right now you need to sleep and I don't want to keep Rose waiting."

"You promise first thing Monday morning."

"You have my word. Goodnight Bella."

"Night Jasper," with that he was gone closing the door behind him. I jumped up and changed into my pajamas and curled into bed. I turned on my iPod and I fell asleep to The Freshmen by The Verve Pipe with dreams of Jasper.
