The Tables Have Turned

How a Youtube video changed my life [1]

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! My alarm clock blared. "Just five more minutes" I mumbled into my pillow. Just as I was snuggling deeper into the sheets, my twin jumped out of bed and ripped the covers off of me.0

"Wakey wakey Avalon, time for school" She grabbed her makeup bag and headed for the bathroom.

Why does she have to be a morning person. Why cant she be like everyone else and hate school. I already know the answer to that: because shes popular and has lots of friends that adore her. Including her boyfriend, who she practically worships.

Sighing I got out of bed and chose my outfit for the day. I picked out my usual: khakis, slip on loafers, a Star Wars t-shirt, and a thermal long sleeve undershirt.

I'm not really into all that makeup and wearing short tight clothes. One, because I'm over two hundred pounds and it would just make me look bigger(AN: I dont think this about people but Avalon thinks this about herself I would never say that because im a little fluffy myself c(= ) . Two, no makeup can hide the amount of pimples and blemishes all over my face. Three, I'm a nerd I'm obsessed with Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, and any other fictional books and movies.

I patiently waited for my sister to get out the shower. We share a room and a bathroom. My mom says because were twins we have to share everything and be near each other all the time. But me and my sister are complete opposites.

While my sister is thin, perky, popular, and pretty. I'm overweight, depressed, geeky, and ugly. Most people say that I'm beautiful, but i don't believe it. There just trying to make me feel better. I hear them after I leave the room. They talk about me and laugh about how my sister can be so perfect and how I'm just so,so ... not.

The bathroom door opened and my sister walked out already dressed and her makeup done. Her long brown hair was done in waves that complemented her pixie like face. She wore light grey eye shadow, with bubble gum pink lipstick, and eyeliner, mascara, and a faint hint of blush. She wore black skinny jeans, a striped light grey and black tank top, grey converse high tops and a black leather jacket to complete the look."Hey Avalon" she greeted me. "All yours." she said in a sing song voice.

I mumbled my "Thanks" and walked into the steamy bathroom. Its small just like my entire house but we manage. I took off my clothes and got in the shower, the water beat down on me loosening my stiff muscles. I grabbed my shampoo and worked it into my tangled hair. I rinsed it out and conditioned it. After i showered i put my hair into a limp ponytail while it was still wet. I dried off then grabbed my towel and walked into my shared bedroom. I sighed and examined myself in the mirror. There's nothing stunning about my face except for my grey eyes. My hair wasn't too bad either, it was halfway down my back long and wavy. It was originally brown but my best friend Liz' convinced my to temporarily dye it fiery red. I looked in the mirror, I knew under all these pounds was a curvy delicate figure. I slipped on my clothes and went downstairs.

I found my dad sitting at out small kitchen table reading the newspaper for job offerings. Hes a construction worker. Since the economy has been so bad, the company that he worked for was forced to cut some people. So that explains why were struggling. My moms stood at the stove cooking bacon, eggs and pancakes. Shes a part time nurse at the local hospital.

I grabbed a plate and took some food. "Mornin' mom, dad." I said before i started stuffing my face with food.

"Wheres Avery?"

"She told me that you would catch a ride with Elizabeth."

"Elizabeth is visiting her grandma, she'll be back tomorrow."

"Oh honey, I'm sorry I didn't know."

"Its ok i'll walk, no biggie." I said brushing it off. I needed to exercise anyway. "Well mom I have to go or im gonna' be late."

"Bye honey, see you this afternoon."

I turned and walked out the door and down the street. I was raining, lucky me.

As I entered the schools parking lot I saw my sister in her car making out with her boyfriend. I'm walking in the rain freezing to death and my sister ditched me and went to make out with her boyfriend in her car. The same car that was supposed to be taking me to school. But nooo she wanted to hang out with her boyfriend instead of her own twin. How gracious of her.

I walked past the car glaring at my sister.

"Ava I'm sorry, i thought you would get a ride from Liz." She called out as I walked past her rolled down window. Her boyfriend Mitch just looked me up and down and smirked.

"Ave stop making excuses if you wanted to hangout with your boyfriend instead of me its okay you could have just said it. You dont have to lie. I get it, your popular and pretty you dont want anything to do with your lame and geeky sister. I hear the way your friends tease me. Even though we are twins we are nothing alike."

All my emotions just poured out of me and i
couldn't stop them. I was just as schocked as my sister was. I stormed past the usual crowd waiting outside. Then Chase Lockwood stepped in front of me.

"Well well well, what do we have here?" He looked at me smugly "Little Ava, only shes not so little"

His entorage laughed with him. I just glared at him with all the hate I could manage.

"Woah Avas a little fiesty toady" He said chuckling.

"Chase, im not in the mood so if you'll please excuse me i'll be getting to class." I tried to side step him. He, moved with me and blocked my path. "Chase what do you want?" " A date with that girl you always hangout with. Shes hot and i want a little make out make out, know what i mean." He said winking. "Whatever ask her yourself." I walked around him and this time he didn't stop me.

Suddenly it seemed like the floor was coming towards my face. I realized someone tripped me. Typical high schoolers, I picked up my dropped books and papers and rushed to my first period: Engish. I loved english. Scratch that, i love all my subjects. Except for one...Gym.

I walked into my english class and sat in the back near the window. A group of football players walked in the room and headed for the back of the classroom, where I'm at. I ducked my head as they walked past and sat behind me. I tried to appear causal and looked up , just to find Mitch standing in front of me.

"You in my seat you fat geek." He growled.
