Hi everyone! So here is the first chapter of my new story, Masked. I hope you all enjoy! I might keep writing, if I get nice reviews. Enjoy! Also, all the outfits are on my profile.

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight.

Chapter One: Any normal day:

"Bella! Will you pah-leeseee wear this?" My best friend, Alice, whined. She was holding up an outfit that I would never wear. It was a baby blue knit dress with flowers on it. The dress was a little to low-cut for my liking, but Alice loved it. She paired it with leggings and a pair of ballet flats. (Dress on profile) "Come on, Bells! Rose loves it, too!" She said looking over at Rosalie, who nodded with a wide grin.

Alice and Rosalie were sisters and my two best friends. Rose was a year older than me and Alice but that didn't bother us. Every morning before school I would go to their house—which was across the street from mine—they would dress me in their fashionable and expensive clothes. I didn't have the best clothes because my father was always working and my step-mother never let me leave the house.

My mother died when I was young and my father remarried. I was now the "brat twins'" new-stepsister. The "Brat Twins" as Alice called them, were really named Connie and Brina.

"I don't know you guys…it's not me" I told them. Alice threw the outfit at me and told me to get dressed because that was what I was going to wear. They searched through their clothes and found their own things. Once Rose was finished, she worked on my hair.

"Rose, why do you guys get me dressed up when you know all day that we are going to be laughed at?" I asked her. At our school in Forks, we were at the bottom of the food chain. Not the bottom, but the bottom of the bottom. Everyone hated Rose for her good looks. I had to admit she was drop-dead gorgeous. She had long golden waves for hair and soft violet-blue eyes. She looked like a model. They mostly hated her because the uber-bitch, Tanya, hated her. Tanya—the girl who ruled Forks High—was jealous of her. Rose beat her and her strawberry-blonde hair by landslide. Most people liked Rose before Tanya spread rumors about her.

They hated Alice for a different reason, her clothes. Alice had an eye for fashion. She knew what styles were in and out. She could pick a rocking outfit in seconds flat. She had the best fashion sense and best clothes in school. Tanya always hated her for that. Whatever Tanya hated, everyone else hated also.

Now for me, I think it was many reasons. I was smart and always had good grades. I was also best friends with the sisters that everyone hated.

Rose then responded to my question. "Because, people will someday realize that Tanya is a bitch and they will all want to be friends with us." She told with a sad smile, I instantly felt bad for asking her. Rose was teased a lot in the past few years. It hurt her pretty bad, but she always pretended to brush it off, when I knew it was really hurting her.

I quickly tried to change the subject. "So my cousin is coming to Forks tomorrow." I said.

My cousin, Emmett, was coming to visit for summer break. Since he knew I wasn't treated well at home, he decided to come and spend the summer with me. Emmett, to me, was like a big teddy bear. He looked like a body builder, but he was really gentle. He was like a little kid inside. His brown curls were always bouncing up and down when he was really excited. He might act like he was five, but really, he was super smart. He would always help me with homework, if I needed it.

"Oh yeah, I forgot…Emmett, right?" Rose asked and I nodded in response. She simply went back to curling my hair.

"Yeah, he's thinking about transferring to college around here, so he's going to look while he's visiting. I think you will like him. He's so your type!" I said, she smiled and rolled her eyes. Rosalie was gorgeous and many guys drooled over her, but she was never interested. "No really, Rose! He's has dark brown curls and hazel eyes. He's also very muscular!" I told her. She seemed to swoon at this, but quickly recovered and her face went blank.

"Whatever…you're hair is done." She said, changing the subject. I chuckled and she just glared at me. Alice walked in and gave me a smile saying, 'you look HOT!' I smiled one back, she did look good. Her short dark hair was in spikes, like usual. Alice was wearing all Marc Jacobs clothing. She wore a sweater with multicolored stripes and dark blue stretch shorts. Her shoes were pale pink heels. The whole outfit made Alice's legs look long and she looked much taller.

"Rose, you look good!" She said, admiring Rosalie's look. Rose was wearing a dark blue woven dress with a belt. The dress was by Diane von Furstenberg. She wore brown heels to top it off. She looked totally gorgeous, like always. Rose smiled and tossed Alice the keys to the yellow Porsche that they shared.

"Come on, you guys! We need to buy our tickets to the end of the year masquerade ball!" Alice yelled to us.

Every year, our school had a masquerade ball. It was full of long gowns and dancing. My favorite part was that I could talk to people without being glared at. Nobody told anyone who they were. It was crazy and total mayhem. I loved it! I was so excited because if you danced like a total dork, no one who it was. I couldn't wait to buy my ticket.

With that, we headed off to another dreary day of high school.

So a few things:

I hope you guys liked the chapter. Please Review!

If I get more than 10 reviews, I will update!

I wanted Tanya to be the Queen Bee for many reasons, which you will find out why soon enough. Hope you'll forgive me if you are a Tanya Fan.

Edward will come into play soon, so will Jasper and Emmett and the rest of the Cullens.

All of the outfits are on my profile.

Live. Laugh. Love.
