Dear diary,
I woke up in the middle of the night. Around
3:30 if we're being exact. I could hear the sound of Amber's heavy breathing, my throat felt dry and my head heavy. I stumbled into the kitchen and poured myself a glass of water. I drained my glass and then put it into the sink. I crept back into the bedroom that my twin sister Amber and I shared. We shared a bedroom ever since we were young. Amber has dark brown hair and watery brown eyes, she's a bit pudgy not trying to be mean, but she is quite sweet. I have waist length blonde hair and blue eyes. Im pretty tanned. It's not just our looks that are completely different, it's our personality's. She is the good twin, I'm the bad twin. It's always been that way ever since we were little. When we visited people, Amber would sit like a 'lady' and smile at all the old women 'cooing' at her while I would bite their fingers. When we got our ears pierced first, Amber chose a pair of small pink studs, I wanted big gold hoops. It's still the same now, except in different ways. It's not that Ambers lame or anything, it's just she's kind of boring. All she does is wake up, go to school, come home, eat dinner, study and go to sleep. Then at the weekends she just hangs out with her giggling little freaky friends or with her geeky boyfriend, Mark. Whereas me, I hang out at parties and with my friends. Iona, Bobby, Angel and Carmel. Or with my boyfriend, Max Hertz. He's very tall and good looking. He had wavy blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. His skin is very white. Im just not a 'good girl'. I smoke the cheap cigarettes that I steal, and drink beer.
"Charlie, is that you" I heard Amber's voice call into the dark. I flopped onto my bed. "Yes"I said, "I couldn't sleep".
"Oh, did you have a bad dream" I rolled my eyes. Sometimes Amber is just so innocent
"Yeah, Amber, I had a bad dream" I then said sarcastically.
I heard her sigh and lie back down on her silk pillow. Our parents are extremely wealthy. We have a really big house, it's complete  with an entertainment/game room, two large living rooms and a really nice pool. Amber designed  our bedroom, I don't really care cos I'm never really in it. It's painted vilote with pink accessories.
"Charlie" Amber said.
"Yeah"
"Nothing, I just wanted to see if you were asleep"
I rolled my eyes.
🖤🖤🖤
I rolled out of bed with a thump. The time on my phone was 12:30. I stood up and put on my dressing gown, I only sleep in my bra and underwear for some weird reason. I stumbled out the door and bumped into Nick, our Spanish student.
"Morning Charlie" he said brightly. I nodded at him and continued down the stairs. He was reasonably good looking, glossy brown hair and big brown eyes but not a patch on Max. Max is my boyfriend. Max Stone. He has white blonde hair and beautiful bright blue eyes. He's the 'bad boy' of the school. Amber hates him with a passion. She's always trying to convince me to break up with him since the moment he asked me out. I walked into the kitchen. Of coarse, little mrs perfect -aka- Amber was already dressed and just back from swimming. I gave her a sickly sweet grin, she smiled back. Then I grabbed the pot of coffee and poured myself a cup.
"Oh, morning Charlotte, I didn't notice you" my mom said looking at me.
"Morning" I grumbled.
"Good morning Charlotte " my Dad said looking at me from over his newspaper. I rolled my eyes, "Hi Dad". I grabbed my coffee and walked up to our room to get dressed. I took off my dressing gown. I put on a green crop top and black shorts with white trainers and a silver anclet plus the necklace that Max got me for my birthday last year. Then I just brushed my hair, brushed my teeth, washed my face and put on a thick coat of mascara. Max's parents were actually going away for the weekend so max is throwing a big party at his house this evening. I kind of want Amber to go because she gives me a bad name sometimes so I'd really like to get her drunk so she'll act normal for once. I know that sounds mean or whatever but seriously, we all know that I'm just doing her a favor. I even have a dress for her to wear. She'll probably refuse to go but I'll just pretend that I've tried so hard on picking her dress that she'll have to go. But for now I'm going to Iona, my best friends house to get away from my pathetic family.
