It's Not easy being Green

a twilight fanfiction

Fantasy Writer

It is said with each sunrise a new day dawns… But for me it seems that each day is just the same.

Wake up, walk outside – get harassed by the neighboring kids.

Go to school- get harassed by my peers.

Family get togethers on the weekends-get harassed by my little ignorant cousins.

Who am I?

For those of you who actually give a rip, my name is Olivia Grace Swan.

I am fourteen years old and I have a skin condition which makes my flesh appear green.

I've been called a "crack baby",

because my mother took drugs when she was carrying me.

Oh darling Mummy!

She's half the reason I'm being uprooted from my home in Montana
and shipped out to a second cousin I hardly know in the gloomy dump town of Forks, Washington.

See my mother Sharon,

never quite kicked the habit after I was born and now she's sentenced to be incarcerated for the next five years.

And it doesn't help that my late father's grandparents are too old to continue living on their own,

let alone with an "unpredictable" teenager like myself .

So it's off to Cousin Charlie's, to live with him and his daughter, Bella.

Oh joy!
