Hmm, I'm not too sure about this one. It's Rosalie's thoughts on Bella when Edward first starts paying attention to her... set during Twilight. Definately not my favorite.

Jealousy
What was it about her?
Rosalie studied the little human. She was short. She had wide-set eyes, lifeless brown hair, and a shy, uninteresting personality. Rosalie supposed she could be considered pretty. Cute. Maybe.
But nothing at all special.
What was the attraction? What made her dear brother want this plain little girl more than, dare she think it, herself?
It had never been a problem before. Humans were always drooling over him, and over the whole Cullen family in general. They were used to it.
Rosalie and Edward hadn't exactly gotten along from the start. He thought she was shallow, and although she was, she didn't appreciate being called superficial and small-minded.
He was the first male to resist her. She had expected him to tell her how stunning she was, to validate her, by complimenting her extreme beauty, enhanced even further by her transformation. But he had taken one look at her and never said anything of the sort.
She'd been slightly offended at first, but then realized he was just strange that way. There were countless beautiful, available vampires (she'd quite liked Tanya, actually) vying for his attention, and yet he ignored them all.
And instead went for a human.
Of all the things he could go for, he chooses a dull human.
"Emmett..." she asked, feeling sort of silly. But she needed to know. "Do you think... you know, that human Edward has the strange obsession with... is she prettier than me?"
He snorted. "Are you kidding me, Rose? No way."
It made her feel slightly better, but not enough.
She couldn't shake the feeling that this pathetic little human being had something that she didn't. Although she didn't particularly want Edward (she had Emmett, who of course was much, much more attractive than Edward), it was a little upsetting that he didn't want her. A blow to her ego, if you will.
Was she, Rosalie Hale, envying a human? She scoffed at the thought. Never. The very idea disturbed her. She couldn't be jealous.
Could she?
