Chapter One: Weird Mondays
"Now I would say sorry if I meant it." –Ashley Yata
Ugh. I just absolutely hate Mondays. They are the worst day of the week. Especially this Monday. Today my twin brother and I have to go visit our mother's best friend. That means seeing her family. Not that they're all bad. Ginny is so adorable! And Ron is just a cutie pie. Fred and George are just awesome little tykes. They prank every one in sight, except me of course. I'm secretly teaching them pranks. Well actually I'm teaching them from a book that my friends and I are compiling. Percy is just pompous little child who seems to think he's the best at everything. Bill is two years older than me and he treats me like I'm actually smart. Well I am, but I'm not like my friend Monica, who is in Ravenclaw.
Then there's Charlie.
He pisses me off so much. He and Eric, my twin, are the best of friends. Good for them. This means that he gets dragged along to all of the little things we do over summer holidays. He teases me and makes all these comments about how fat I am. And that's one thing I know I'm not. Fat that is. He thinks I'm fat because he hangs around and dates all the skanky and anorexic girls in our year. I have nothing against anorexics, my own mother battles it every day. It's just that these people are bitchy drama queens and call themselves fat every second of the day. Trust me I know, I have to live with them during the school year.
There are four of these girls in my house, Gryffindor. I hate them almost as much as I hate my house. Now there's nothing bad about Gryffindor, I just don't belong. My three best friends are in Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Though Hannah is a nice Slytherin. Anyway these girls' names are Adrianna, Shelly, Sandra, and their leader, Carrie. Sandra is nice to me to my face, but she is a total bitch behind my back.
Back to Charlie, he dates these kinds of girls. It's quite scary actually. One week you'll see him with his arm draped around a skanky hoe from Slytherin and the next another one from Hufflepuff. I think he's slept with all the girls in Gryffindor alone ten times each. Of course I could be wrong, because all I hear them talking about is how hot he could be. So he might not be a male slut after all…hmmm. I'll need to do research.
Noooo! My brother just came bounding in and demand that I get up. My brother doesn't actually look like me, only sort of. He has sandy blonde hair while I have strawberry blonde hair that is layered that goes to my shoulders. It's quite amusing that I have blonde hair and blue eyes. Do you know how often I get stereotyped? It's quite amusing. But at least I have natural blonde hair, unlike Carrie and friends, who dye theirs platinum. Sandra has dark brown hair, Adrianna has plain brown hair, Shelly has dirty blonde, and Carrie, well, I really have no idea what color hair that girl has. She came to Hogwarts with it dyed pink, and then dyed it so often that it got all destroyed. Then she settled on red for three years and switched to black, then platinum blonde.
The only thing my brother and I have in common is our parents and our eyes. That's the one thing I like about me, my eyes. They are a deep endless blue with flecks of light blue.
"Get up NOW!" Eric said as he pulled away all of my covers. How rude. He can be such a prick sometimes. And I was having such a lovely conversation with myself. I told him how rude he was, but it came out more as a mumble.
"Look I know you're in love with Charlie, but can we please hurry this up?" now this was cause for punishment. I do not like Charlie. God my brother is such a moron. SO what do I do? I sit up so fast and punch him on the side of the face. Heh, boy am I glad my dad stuck me in that karate class instead of ballet.
"Ow! What was that for?" he asked.
"For suggesting that I was in love with a loser," I replied, annoyed. "And for coming in my room at the crack of dawn to wake me up!"
"Ashley, ten o' clock isn't the crack of dawn and I only said that to get you up," Eric stated matter of factly. God he was so annoying sometimes. But he was my twin and I had to put up with him.
"Good, now get out so I'm able to get up!" I snapped. I didn't mean to snap, but I am NOT a morning person. I hate mornings with a passion and Monday mornings are the worst.
"Fine. Whatever." Boy did he sound annoyed. Oh well, he'll get over it. So I got up and got dressed. I wore a plain green t shirt that said 'Please Officer, I swear to drunk I'm not God.' I love that shirt. After a few minutes I heard my mother stomp upstairs and demand if I was ready. I assured her I would be in a few minutes and she went back downstairs, probably to pace back and forth until I came down.
So I quickly snapped two black barrettes into my hair and pulled on a pair of black flairs and ran downstairs. My mother glared at me as a dashed to the fireplace and proceeded to floo myself over to the Burrow.
My brother was already there, sitting with Charlie on the couch. I noticed the punch I gave him earlier was developing into a nice black eye. Heh, he deserved it. He knows better than to say stupid stuff to me in the morning, especially on Mondays.
"Why is it that girls are always late?" that was the first question out of Charlie's mouth. Now you must know that normally, out of politeness, I would ignore that comment. But since today was Monday and I was in a particularly bad mood, I decided to act like my normal sarcastically bitchy self.
"Sounds like you were actually waiting for me," I replied.
"So what if I was?" Charlie asked.
"Well you're going to have to wait longer because I forgot my makeup bag!" I responded in a fake sugar coated obviously sarcastic voice. I then sauntered out the house. Heh. Did you know how fun it is to tell people in an inadvertent way that you don't want to talk to them? Of course there's the fact that they ignore me too, so there's really no point.
Ahh. I just love the fields around the Burrow. It's so calming. Especially this one place, where there was a cliff overlooking a beautiful forest. Oh my god that is my official hiding spot. I come out here a lot. Nobody knows that I go here, I don't think. But I have never caught anyone following me out here.
So of course I was totally surprised when I heard a soft voice in my ear.
"Since when did you keep your makeup bag out here?" I didn't think, I just reacted. I whipped my elbow around and connected into something hard. I heard a grunt of pain and I spun around.
I was half shocked to see Charlie laying on the ground, covering his eye.
"Now I would say sorry if I meant it. But I'm not so are you okay?" I asked, somewhat concerned if I had blinded him in one eye. It was a well known fact that Charlie was a fantastic seeker and would probably play for England once he graduated. I didn't want to ruin his chances at anything, so I decided to worry slightly.
"I'm fine," he replied shortly. "What are you doing out here anyway?"
"Looking for my makeup bag," I smirked as I replied. I started walking back towards the house, making it known that I wasn't going to waste my time talking to him. He didn't get the hint and started following me. God, guys can be so dense sometimes. I mean really!
"Where did you come from?" he asked me. Wow, he was serious for once.
"Whatta ya mean?" I ask. I mean come on! I've been here all along. Dumbass.
"I mean whenever you were around me you'd always never talk. I'd insult you to see if I could get some emotion out of you. Where did the sarcastic, mean, cool girl come from?"
"I never talked to you because you were an asshole to me. We were friends before Hogwarts, then you guys got all 'oh my god! Girls are so evil! If we touch one we'll DIE!" I said as I did an overly dramatic interpretation of how they were when they were twelve. "So I ignored you. Then you started insulting me, so I ignored you even more and secretly tapped your face to my wall and threw darts at it." Why I was telling him this, I have no clue. He weaseled it out of me. Heh.
"Ahhh." He looked as if he had just seen the light at the end of the tunnel. I took this opportunity to whip out the tape I had made of Carrie screeching 'I SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUUUUUUNNEL!' I was experimenting to see if muggle electronics would work at the platform, but it didn't. It did, however, when we left the platform and I had the unpleasant experience of being right next to her when she burst into screech.
"What the hell is that?" Charlie asked, surprised. Heh, I'm surprised he can't recognize the screech as his girlfriend. Yes, Charlie is now going out with Carrie. They've been going out since the end of school and Carrie thinks they are meant to be because he hasn't dumped her yet.
"I can't believe you don't recognize your girlfriend!" I said in mock surprise.
"Phht. I only have her as a girlfriend so I don't have girls throwing themselves at me. It gets annoying after awhile."
"Wow! THE Charlie Weasley has gone from an all out player to a dedicated boyfriend in two seconds! Amazing!" I said, sarcasm dripping from my lips.
""I only have cause I know she'll freak out and go all evil if she sees a girl so much as look at me," he snorted as he replied. God when did he ever snort? Snorting is so unattractive. That's why I do it all the time. I mean I get all the guys' attention and they flirt with me! Wait…wow I'm really confusing myself here…strange I tend to do that.
"Heh, it's so funny to listen to her ramble on and on about you. I swear she has your wedding all planned out, she even named your kids," I said, with a twinkle of amusement in my eyes.
He looked at me disgusted. "Well then I think I'm going to dump her when we get back to school."
School. He had to bring up school. I thought of my friends. Hannah is in Slytherin and has wavy black hair that falls to half way down her back and navy blue, almost black eyes. She can be a tad evil and self centered sometimes. This can get annoying, so I usually remedy the situation by smacking her. But she is still one of my best friends. She also has a younger sister named Lily, who is the same age as Ron. Hmm they'll be going to school together. I'll have to make a bet with Hannah about how scared Ron is going to be of Lily.
Monica is in Ravenclaw and she has long chestnut hair, longer than Hannah's, it goes all the way down her back. She has bright hazel green eyes, always searching for random facts to memorize. Monica is actually quite pretty, and even though she doesn't notice, she's one of the most sought after girls in the school. All the guys are scared of me and Hannah, though, and they stay away from her when we're near, which is most of the time.
Chaki is our other friend. She's the brains of our group. She has brown hair that, depending on the lighting, has a slight tint or red or a slight tint of blonde and green eyes. Chaki does extremely well in all her subjects, but she is athletically impaired. In first year, I heard that she flew straight into a tree.
School brings wonderful thoughts. But there is always Carrie, who is such a moron. I don't even want to start ranting on her again. Wherever she is, Charlie is. And wherever Charlie is, my brother is.
Well I don't want to make my twin out to be this moron who follows people around like a lost dog. He's actually much deeper than that. But I don't feel like explaining the inner depths of my brother's mind. It's too complicated for my confused brain to handle.
"Whatcha thinking about?" I heard Charlie ask me. Great now he suddenly cares. Whoopee.
"I'm thinking about all the practical jokes I can play this year in an attempt to forget about the fact that I haven't done any of my homework," I replied snootily. I love that word. Snootily. SNOOT.
Heh. I amuse myself so easily.
Charlie just raised an eyebrow. We finally got back to the house and my brother was there smiling. I knew he was thinking something along the lines of 'having fun.' Great, just what I needed. My brother making comments on the fact that I was acting like a normal human being for once. Well around the Weasleys I always act civil; I just was being weird before.
"Have fun having fun?" he asked suggestively. Ew, how did I know he was going to say that? Sheesh.
"Now Eric what kind of sister would I be if I stole your boyfriend? I mean c'mon, you wouldn't steal any of the guys I date now would you?"
They both stood there with their mouths slightly open. Heh. I love being evil.
"Well I gotta go write my friends, see you guys at dinner!" I just winked and walked upstairs.
What a weird Monday.
HALLELUJAH! IT IS DONE! Wow it took me forever to write this. Three weeks! Wow! Long time. Well I'm glad I got this up, now I will go play Rose Online. I WILL update this, don't worry. I have a rabid monster after me if I don't (Hannah). So cya next time!
June 14- I changed a couple things around, hope you don't mind
