THE NEW GIRL

"Rise and shine sleepyhead!" A voice – my sister, Alice – yelled right into my ear.

"Go away," I said, and rolled over, covering my face. I was not ready to be woken up, yet.

"We are going to be late for school if you do not get out of bed right now, so you have until I count to three, or I am going to help you get out of bed. One, two-"

"Alright I'm up," I said, literally rolling off of my bed. Alice chuckled.

"Just be glad it was me this morning and not Emmett, he was going to use an air horn like he did for the first day of school. I told him I would take care of it instead."

"I'm so very grateful for your presence, Alice," I smiled at her as I walked to my bathroom.

"You will be when you see your outfit for today!" I heard her call out. Oh boy.

The way my family worked was very unique. I had different relationships with all of my siblings, and I was close to them in different ways. I wouldn't say that I was closer to some than others, just that I needed some personalities over others on a given day.

Alice and I were both very energetic and we were best friends. We hung out together at school and at home. She would help me make costumes for dance and we went shopping together. She had seen me come into their lives as a sister, and had treated me like one ever since.

Jasper and I weren't very close at first. He was afraid he was going to hurt me, but then I started having nightmares when I first moved in after my mom died. He was the one who would take care of me when Carlisle was on the night shift at the hospital. He would read me stories and we would just sit and talk until I fell back asleep. We became comfortable around each other and now, he's my go-to guy to mess with around the house.

Rosalie is very much an older sister. We have a love-hate relationship. Most of the time, she's awesome. She takes me shopping and she does my hair. She is super motherly, which helped a lot when I was younger. As I got older, though, it got more annoying. She gets in moods and that's when I try to stay away from her.

Emmett is true and true a textbook older brother. He picks on me, but defends me. He plays video games with me and never lets me win. He's my partner in crime around the house when I'm bored and want to mess with people. He tries to trick me into watching scary movies, which is when I am grateful for Rosalie who puts him in his place.

Lastly, my brother Edward. Edward is a unique soul. He can read my thoughts, so we are close and I can talk to him a lot, like my relationship with Jasper. He doesn't try to trick me, like Emmett, but he will try to get on my nerves every once in a while. He is crazy smart and helps me with my homework. We also have a strong musical connection, because he taught me how to play piano when I was little. He introduced me to a lot of classical music and we have bonded over that through the years. Whenever I need a song for a routine, he's always the brother to go to.

"Danielle we are going to be late!" Speak of the Devil.

"I'm almost done, Edward! I just need to put on some clothes!" I yelled, unnecessarily. Alice was right, I did love the outfit she picked for me.

I threw on my clothes and headed downstairs to see my mom waiting for me with breakfast to go, since I was running late – again.

"Your father had to go into work early so you missed him, but he says he loves you and he will see you tonight. Have a good day, dear," Mom said.

"You too mom, love you!" I told her and hugged her goodbye. My siblings were already outside in the car, waiting for me.

I walked outside and hopped into Edward's Volvo.
