I am so sorry I haven't updated in a few weeks. I have been so busy it's ridiculous. I won't babble so you can continue with the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own it but I really wish I did -cries-
I trudged up the stairs at six. I was so tired; I barely got any sleep last night.
When I got into bed I thought I heard something scratching at the glass, but it was just branches. This was going to take some getting used to.
I quickly fell asleep and dreamed of angels and Cullens. One in particular.

I woke up with a start when I caught sight of the time. I had fifteen minutes to get to the bus stop.
I threw back the bed covers and got ready for my shower. I had no time to relax the muscles that had just tensed. I let the conditioner sit for a total of five seconds instead of the usual 2 minutes. I got out and toweled myself off as I half ran back to my room.
Ten minutes.
I pulled random clothes out of the dresser, making sure that they matched first. I ripped the brush through my hair, nearly making myself bald. I glanced at the clock again. Five minutes. Charlie wasn't here so I couldn't catch a ride with him.
But I had my new truck. I forgot about that. I quickly realized that I had about 25 minutes until school started. It took about five minutes to drive there. I lived close.
I slowed down and I went into my bathroom to go through the process that was cleaning my teeth.
When I was done I grabbed my book bag and my copy of Wuthering Heights. I would have to get another book soon; I was almost done with this one, yet again.
I headed out the door to my truck and I was off to school.
When I arrived, I found that I had roughly 10 minutes to get to my first period class. English was my favorite subject.
When I walked in I heard a squeal come from Alice's direction. She ran up to me and I barely comprehended what she was saying she was talking so fast.
"Slow down Alice, I didn't understand a word you just said."
"I said I loved your top. Where did you get it?"
I looked down and realized for the first time that I was wearing one of Raven's tops, and none had been released to the world for purchase. I had grabbed clothes from the wrong dresser. Oops. I was also wearing Raven's famous pair of white skinny jeans (outfit on profile). Crap.
"Um, I don't remember really." I tried to deter her from the subject by asking her a question. "Where did you get yours? It looks really cute"
My strategy worked for two seconds. "It's Armani. It looks like a Raven outfit, where did you get it?"
My hands started to clam up. "It does? I got it for my birthday. My birthday is next week but my aunt wanted me to have it early."
"Can you ask her where she got it?"
I tried to control my slight shaking. "She probably doesn't remember."
"Well she could look at the receipt." Her tone was sounding suspicious.
"I went with her when she got it for me so she new it would fit me. She didn't save the receipt."
She looked defeated. She also looked like she had already guessed the origin of my outfit. "Wait until everyone hears that Raven outfits are out. They'll flip!" We went to our seats. Actually, Alice went to her seat, I went to the teacher to ask for a bathroom pass.
She gave me permission and I raced out of the room and into the bathroom. I walked over to the mirror and let out a gasp.
I looked almost exactly like Raven. Oh my goodness. I already screwed up my chances of trying to live a normal life. Everybody will know before the day is done. I washed off my make up and re-applied with some earth tones, trying to look as not Raven as I could. Gone was the blue eye shadow and blue mascara. Gone was the navy blue eyeliner. Gone was the blush. I put on a gold eye shadow and regular mascara. I skipped the blush and eyeliner.
I walked out of the bathroom and back to class, avoiding eye contact with anyone in the hallway. I slipped into the classroom and into my seat next to Alice.
"Why did you go?"
"I re-did my make up."
"Why?"
I thought for a nanosecond before I responded. "I had too much blue. I felt like going with the Earth today."
She looked at me suspiciously before turning back to the front of the room.
First and second period flew by and I headed to my next class. I was dreading what I was going to have to face when I got there.
Sorry I ended so early, but I have to type something that was due two weeks ago. I hope you like this chapter and will try my best to update tomorrow, though I can't guarantee that I will. PLEASE REVIEW, I MIGHT UPDATE FASTER!! It will only cost you a second, not a dollar. But if it did cost a dollar, I'd have 34 dollars just from this story! Hehehe.
