"Brea! Bella! Time to wake up, don't wanna be late!" Charlie called out from downstairs.
Brea opened her eyes and groaned. She quickly ripped the covers off, allowing the cool air to hit her legs....She crawled out of bed, throwing on a pair of black skinny jeans and a baggy sweater.... Quickly sliding her torn up converses on.
She grabbed her navy blue backpack and threw her Little Women book into her bag....grabbing her iPod and hurried to the bathroom, fixing herself up.
"Hey Brea! Don't forget your bike is coming today!" Bella asked, walking into the bathroom.
"Hopefully! Phil called late last night and said it might be late," Brea sighed, feeling disappointed.
"Bye Dad!" Brea called out, while walking down the stairs....heading towards the door.
*****************
Bella pulled her truck into the parking lot... Kids started to stare, making both sisters rather uncomfortable....and very nervous.
"Hey! It's okay," Bella spoke up.
"I hope so!" Brea sighed.
"Can you promise me something?" Bella asked, turning to look over at Brea.
Brea nodded.... knowing where this was going.
"Please try and make some friends! It's always been hard for you, and I don't understand why... you are so outgoing! And super smart, NOT to mention beautiful!" Bella said.
Bella pulled into a parking spot, rather close to the school.
Brea looked down at her hands and started messing with them, they both climbed out... feeling eyes on them.
"Nice ride!" A kid called out.
"Thanks!" Bella smiled.
Both girls walked towards the building.
"Making friends isn't in my department, I-I like keeping to myself," Brea sighed, turning to look at her sister.
"Brea I love you! But I can't be your only friend," Bella replied.
"My books are my friends!" Brea said, causing her sister to laugh.
They both grabbed their schedules. Both had some of the same classes, although Brea didn't have gym. She had an off period during that time.... which made her rather happy.
While both girls were trying to find their next class, a cheerful boy walked up to them.
"You're Brea and Bella swan? The Twin sisters? Hi! I'm Eric. The eyes and ears of this place. Anything you both need? Tour guide? Lunch date? A shoulder to cry on?" Eric questioned.
Brea just stared at him....not knowing what to say.
"I'm kind of the 'Suffer in Silence' type, while Brea is the ' quiet one'," Bella smiled
"Good headline for the feature! I'm on the paper, and you're both news baby! Front page!" Eric smiled.
"I-no, we-I don't wanna be news! I-please don't," Brea blurted.
"Whoa, chillax! No feature! But my god let me just say you are beautiful, you look like you belong in the Cullen group," Eric said
"The who group?" Bella asked.
"I'll have some friends show you at lunch!" Eric smiled.
"W-would you mind pointing us towards Mr. Varner's class?" Brea asked.
Eric leads them away.
"You've both missed a lot of the semester, b-but I can hook you both up... tutor, cliff notes, medical excuse," Eric said.

"I-i think we'll manage, I-I'm a fast learner! I normally help Bella with her homework," Brea replied.
Bella playfully punched her sister in the shoulder and then laughed....Brea shoved her sister playfully, making sure not to cause Bella to trip.
Brea turned around and started looking....searching the hall, still confused on where the voices were coming... and who they belonged too.
"Brea? Are you okay?" Bella asked.
"I-I thought I heard something," Brea sighed.
After sitting through boring subjects..... and waiting for her off period to fly by, it was finally lunch.
Brea met Bella outside of the cafeteria.
"Brea! This is Mike and Jessica," Bella smiled.
"Hello," Brea said shyly.
"W-wow! Eric was right! You are so beautiful," Mike replied, gazing at Brea.
"Um thanks?" Brea replied, but confused if she was supposed to be grateful or completely weirded out.
They all four walked into the Cafeteria....Brea sat at a table while Bella, Mike and Jessica run off to grab some food.
Eric appeared and squishes up next to Brea.....making her feel uncomfortable and claustrophobic.
Bella quickly appeared and sits on the other side of Brea.
"Mike! You've met my home girls Brea and Bella!" Eric smiled.
"Oh your home girls?!" Mike asked.
"I swear it's like first grade all over again, and you both are the shiny new toy," Jessica sighed, sounding jealous.
Brea smiled awkwardly....all of a sudden a bright light blinded her for a spilt second... she looks up at a girl with a camera.
"Sorry! Needed a candidate for the feature," The girl smiled.
"Feature's dead, Angela! Don't bring it up again!" Eric snapped.
Brea pulled out her book and started to read.... disappearing into a different world, because reality was making her very uncomfortable.
Bella slapped Brea's shoulder gently, pulling her out of her reading.
"Look!" Bella said, and turned towards the double doors.... that were located not far from them.
Brea looked and noticed a bronzed haired boy walk in....grabbing her attention.
"W-Who is that?" Brea asked.
"That's Edward Cullen!" Jessica sighed, gazing into his direction.
Suddenly, Edward looked over, his eyes met Brea's... and seemed rather confused.
"He's totally gorgeous, obviously! But apparently, no one here is good enough for him. Ugh like I care!" Jessica scoffed.
Edward smiled.
"You obviously do! If you are making it a big deal! All I asked was who he was," Brea replied, not realizing what she had said.
"Y-you can't sit with us anymore!" Jessica snapped.
Anger grew inside of Brea... she threw her book into her bag, kicked her seat out from underneath her, leaned over the table and grabbed Jessica's apple...
"B-Brea.... your eyes," Bella whispered.
Brea completely ignored her....taking a huge bite out of the apple, tossing it into the trash can, that was located right next to the Cullen table.
She looked at them all.... And they were smiling, as if they were proud... but their expressions also changed, from proud to confusion.
Brea looked around....shaking her head and hurried out of the cafeteria.

*************
Brea, Bella and Mike enter their Biology class. Brea's eyes caught Edward's.
"She is really mad at you Brea," Mike laughed.
"I didn't even realize what I said until it was over," Brea sighed, feeling just awful.
Brea and Bella handed their teacher their class slip, Brea moved in front of a fan.
"Welcome! Swan sisters. Follow along the best you can, until you both get caught up," Their teacher smiled.
"Bella you can sit with me!" Mike called out front the back of the room.
Mr. Molina gestures Brea to sit next to Edward.
When she approached him, she's taken aback when..... She saw how his eyes had such repulsion, fury... a look that could kill.
Brea gently sat in the chair next to him.
Brea turned her head to look at him.... Edward giving her a surprised expression.
"W-what? Is there something on my face?" Brea asked.
"W-No!" Edward said, rather rudely.
Brea sighed with such sadness, and turned to look at the front.
"
For the whole hour, she felt him glaring at her....but she ignored it, the best she could.
As the bell rings, Edward bolted out the door.
"Oh-okay um see you tomorrow...I-I guess," Brea whispered.
Brea walked out of the classroom and looked down the hall. Edward was nowhere insight.
Bella and Brea walk into the Office....Brea dropped her head when she saw that Edward was in front of her.
"Hang on, girls! I'll be right with you," The office lady smiled.
"There must be something open in the sixth period! Physics? Biochem?" Edward asked
"No, every class is full. I'm afraid you'll have to stay in Biology. I'm so sorry," The office lady sighed.
"Fine! I'll just.... Endure it," Edward snapped.
He suddenly snapped causing Brea to jump.
Edward quickly turned on his heels and bolted out of the office... as he was leaving he looked at Brea, Utter regret filled in his eyes, when he noticed she was staring at the ground.
Both girls drop off their class slips, and hurry out to the parking lot... both wanting to get out of there quickly.
"Hey Brea!" Mike said walking up to the sisters.
Brea rushed past him....Ignoring him.
Brea climbed into Bella's truck.... Slamming the door, her eyes started to well up but she fought back the tears, getting furious.
"W-what a jerk! I-I don't understand what I did," Brea mumbled.
Bella opened the driver door and looked over at Brea... she then looked over at Edward who was staring at Brea....she sighed. Climbing into the truck, quickly starting it up.. Pulling out of the parking lot and driving to meet Charlie at the local coffee shop.
"Brea? You okay?" Bella asked, pulling into the parking lot of the coffee shop.
"No, but I'll get better," Brea sighed.
Both girls walked into the coffee shop....and was greeted by their father.
"Can't get over how much you girls have grown. And both so very gorgeous," A woman smiled.
"Brea! Bella! You remember Cora, Right?" Charlie asked.
Both sisters nod.
"You remember me? I was Santa one year," An older man smiled walking up to the girls.
Brea turned to Charlie and gave him a confused expression.
"Waylon, they haven't had a Christmas here since they were both four," Charlie smiled.
"Bet I made an impression, though," Waylon smiled.
"You always do!" Charlie laughed.
"Let the girls eat their food, Waylon! When you both are done, I'll bring your favorite berry and peach cobbler. Remember? Your dad still has them both. Every Thursday," Cora smiled.
"T-That'd be great! Thank you," Brea smiled, even though she didn't remember.
Cora shoos Waylon away. Brea started to eat her food quietly... she looked at Bella and motioned for her to talk to Charlie.
Bella nodded.
"So.... you eat here every night?" Bella asked.
"Easier than washing dishes," Charlie said.
"I-we can cook!" Bella smiled.
Charlie looks up, as if he was confused.
"We do the cooking at home...In Phoenix. Mom's not great in the kitchen," Brea replied.
"I remember," Charlie said.
They all three laughed.
"H-How was school? You both meet anyone?" Charlie asked.
"A-A few people," Bella said.
"D-do you know the Cullen family?" Brea asked.
Bella snapped her head towards Brea. shocked by the question.
"Are people talking about them again?" Charlie said.
"No-well, a little," Bella replied, staring at Brea.
"Just cause they're newcomers. We're lucky to have a surgeon like Dr. Cullen at our Podunk hospital. Lucky his wife wanted to live in a small town. Lucky his kids aren't like a lot of the hell-raisers around here," Charlie sighed.
"Okay," Brea said.
They all three quickly eat and then head home.
Brea sits on her bed...looking out into the fog. She heard a gentle knock and turned.
"Mom is on the phone, you wanna talk to her?" Bella asked.
Brea nodded...missing her mother a little more than usual today.
Bella put their mother on speaker phone.
"If spring training goes well, we could be living in Florida permanently," Their mother said.
"Please insert 25 cents to continue," The telephone operator said.
"Mom, where's your cell?" Brea laughed.
"Okay! I didn't lose my power cord. It ran away! Screaming! I literally repel technology now," Their mother sighed. Feeling completely defeated.
"Now! Tell me about the first day of school, my babies! What are the kids like? Are there any cute guys? Are they being nice?" Their mother asked.
"Well! Brea almost got in a fight today," Bella laughed.
"W-what?! No I did not!," Brea groaned.
"Brea! Honey! You need to make friends.... Not fight with them," Their mother sighed.
"Well I do have to say! They've all been really welcoming," Brea said..... thinking about Edward.
"Mom, we should go! We have to wake up early in the morning," Bella replied.
They all three said their goodbyes....
Bella got up to leave....
"H-hey Bella! Could you sleep with me tonight?" Brea asked.
Bella smiled and jumped back on the bed.

If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website.
