"Stacy, wake up!" I moaned and threw one of my many pillows at her. Direct hit. I smiled and turned over, burying my face in another one. I heard her sigh and then next thing I knew I was on my hard wood floor in a rather rude manner. I moaned in pain but pulled my blanket on top of me and I was all good again.

"Anastasia! Get up or I'll-" She trailed off as I prompt myself on my elbows.

"You'll what?" I challenged sleepily. She looked at me uncertainly and I smirked.

"Exactly so good night." I chirped then curled underneath my blanket.

"It's the first day of school. You need to get off your lazy bum or you will be late!" She yelled exasperated and stalked out of my room. Drama Queen much? Jeeze. I groaned and caught my reflection in my full length mirror.

"You do not look good chica." I scowled and painstakingly got on my feet. I jumped in the shower and relaxed at the scalding hot water pouring on my muscles. I tried to wash away my dread with my wild rose body wash. It only worked a bit but I felt better as I reluctantly stepped out, since the water was turning cold. I turned on the blow dryer so my hair was silky and unknotty. My hair was basically the same as Elena's but my was longer, curled into ringlets at the bottom and I had a single purple strip that I had for as long as I could remember. And I couldn't straighten it to save my life. I gave up after many, many attempts in vain. And Elena's hardly ever curls. And while she has those gorgeous lapis lazuli eyes I had violet/gray. More purple than gray though. Margaret loves them. Other than that we are exactly the same. We should since we are twins. Well I might be a little curvier than her but she outshines me with her Golden Girl personality. I stood in front of my closet, not really seeing anything. I must've stood there for about five to ten minutes just staring into space. I snapped out of it when I heard Margaret singing as she hopped down the steps. I smiled ruefully at my door and focused. After a few minutes I finally decided on a gorgeous green silk jacket I had gotten from glorious Paris, my bleached capris shorts, and a golden tank top that seemed to make my creamy skin look tanner than it actually was, Gotta love the magic of clothes. I put on my usual gold gladiator heels, grabbed my single shouldered bag and my IPod before checking myself in the mirror. I sighed and put on my amethyst necklace and looked at the picture stuck on my mirror. It was of me and Elena with mom and dad and a baby Margaret. I smiled sadly at the photo, kissed my fingers and pressed them on my very dead parents. I shook my head then ran out to bound down the stairs skipping two at a time.

"Good morning to all!" I sang and kissed the top of my baby sister head. She smiled at me and I stole her toast.

"Hey!" She cried but gave up when I took a big bite of it. I smirked and hopped on the table, kicking back and crossed my legs as I looked
at the stove.

"Aunt Judith." I said in a sing-songy voice. She looked up from the newspaper and gave me a frazzled smile.

"Yes Stacy."

"Something's burning!" I pointed to the stove and she shot up. Me and Margaret laughed as she frantically trashed whatever was in the pot.

"Hope you didn't want oatmeal." She sighed and pushed her head back. I shook my head.

"I'm good with my toast."

"It was mine." Margaret pouted, as childishly as the four year old could. "But you look really pretty today." She smiled at me, eating her Cheerios.

"Aww. So do you munchkin." I cooed. She giggled then rubbed her eyes sleepily.

"Where's Elena. Did you know that she barged in my room, waking me up and she even pushed me rudely off my very comfortable bed? She then tried to threaten me! And she is taking a longer time than me! The nerve of that good looking twin!" I ranted.

"Why don't you just leave?" I gasped and my hand covered my hand.

"And leave my twin! That goes against the twin law. I cannot break it!" I said, scandalized.

"There's no such thing." Elena said coolly from the bottom of the stairs. Ah there's the ever popular Ice Queen. That looks like a raspberry sundae with the clothes she bought from our summer vacation.

"Whatever. Come on. Everyone is probably waiting on us." I said, playing with my IPod. She nodded and went to the door.

"Bye Annie! Bye Elena."

"Bye pumpkin." I called back. On our walk I started to do ballet moves to Airplanes by B.O.B.

"Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky, are like shooting stars. Cause I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now." I sang and pirouetted to a stop and faced Elena.

"Because I really want, no need, a car." I finished. She raised a perfect eyebrow.

"Okay then. Do you have a plan?" I nodded and walked backwards.

"It's foolproof." I bragged.

"Really? Let's hear it." She stopped and crossed her arms.

"Find a hot vampire, make him fall madly in love with me so he'll give me anything I want including a car and live happily ever after in the shadows for all eternity."

"Because that's totally possible." She said sarcastically. She opened her mouth to say something else but she stopped and stared at the old quince tree I was leaning against. I followed her gaze and my eyes widened.

"That is one pretty crow." I said dreamily. Elena didn't say anything so I looked over at her and was shocked to see her drop her book bag to pick up a rock.

"Elena?"

"Get out of here." She said angrily to the bird. My eyes widened at all the anger in her voice.

"Now is not the time to have a mental breakdown." I said worriedly. She ignored me and continued to death glare the poor birdie.

"Go on! Get out of here!" She yelled and threw the stone. I ducked instinctively at the explosion of foliage and wings. It flew close over our heads before giving a harsh croak and flown away. My jaw fell open.

"What the hell was that?!" I demanded and picked up a couple of feathers that was floating down. I started to braid them into my hair. Maybe I can start a new trend. She gave me a look of disgust.

"You don't know where that thing has been." She told me.

"Same thing can be said about you." I said cheerfully but got serious.

"What was that?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at her. She shrugged and fixed her hair.

"I didn't like how it was staring at us." Was all she said before she started to walk again. I sighed but smiled as a group of kids came pouring out a house in laughter. I took a flying leap next to her then took long strides.

"At least we have a story to tell the guys about our own peeping Tom." I giggled. She nodded.

"Monster, how should I feel? Creatures lie here, looking through my window." I sang along with the music on the way to school as the dread started coming back.
