Chpt:1 The Start
“Nik. Nikki! Pick up the phone!” Lexa yelled to me as she entered my bedroom and woke me up.
Lexana Vine is my identical twin sister, my other half. Without her I would be completely lost! She understands me when no one does. She’s my best friend…
My name is Nicolette Vine, Nik or Nikki for short. I’m about 5”6 and I have naturally honey brown hair, and brown eyes. My sister looks just like me.
Were 16 years old, juniors at Bellwood High in *************, C.A. It’s January, the beginning of the semester.
Like most twins- we are very different. Lexa has a girly, preppy type of style and attitude.
I on the other hand, don’t. I guess you could say that I’m the laid back type. I’m not as confident as my sister. She’s comfortable in her own skin. And I’m not. I don’t know why either. It’s just me, I guess. I sat up quickly and answered the cordless phone charging on my bedside table. Cleared my throat. And spoke.
“Hello?” I asked. Still looking at Lexa standing in front of my now closed door walking slowly over to my computer desk.
“Hey Nikki its me.” I recognized my mother’s voice.
Let me cut in here…my moms name is Tracy and my dads name is David. They are both professional photographers (that’s how they met) they work a lot and work with celebrities from all over. When we were little Lexa and I used to get personal photos and headshots taken. Were really into acting. That’s our dream. To become famous and be on movies and TV shows. We’ve only landed in a few commercials when we were 8 and we’ve been completely connected to being on camera ever since. It’s in our blood.
“Oh hey mom what’s up?” I asked.
“Oh I was just calling to let you know that me and your father are going to be a little late coming home off work tonight. We have a big “17 magazine edition” were shooting of Ashley Tisdale.” She stated.
“Oh alright then have a good day!”
“Ok sweetie, Love you!” she hung up.
I hung up the phone and put it back on the charger. I looked over to Lexa now sitting at my computer desk online chatting on the Internet using my white laptop. (She has her own black one.) She turned around and looked at me closing it shut.
“What are you going to do today? She questioned.
“ Uh, I’m not sure yet…you?
She sighed. “I have to go to drive to Amber’s house rite now to work on that biology project Mr. Dasid assigned yesterday.”
“But, Its Saturday morning.” I said.
“Exactly which MEANS I only have 5 more days to work on it!” Lexa added. She got up quickly, out of my computer chair and headed for the door.
“Oh and before I go DON’T forget to feed Kay Jay! I’ll call you later on your cell.” She left. (Kay Jay’s our puppy we got last Christmas)
“Ok!” I called after her but she was already downstairs. Ready to go.
I finally got out of bed and looked over at my alarm clock. It read 10:27 am. I walked to the restroom Lexa and I share down the hall. Located rite next to our parent’s bedroom.
I reached the bathroom. Brushed my teeth, washed my face and put on some “covergirl” mascara and blush. Then I brushed through my golden brown hair and used bobby pins for a “half up half down” style I got dressed in my usual “at home” outfit skinny jeans and a white spaghetti strap with a button up blouse on top. I headed downstairs and grabbed my favorite cereal from the cabinet. Cheerios.
I sat there thinking of how I was going to spend my Saturday. When I finished eating, I cleaned my dishes and grabbed some grapes to snack on. Then I headed for the stairs.
I went to my room that is painted one of my favorite colors. Orange. My fuzzy bedspread and rugs are Brown my other favorite color. I chose the theme based on that…
I went to my new laptop that I got on Lexa and my last birthday that recently passed on December 4th. Checked my e-mail and saw that 6 of my friends were online.
Haley, Jenni, Melrose, Janae, Mark, and Noah.
I entered chats with three of my good friends there, online. Janae, Haley and Melrose. We spoke back and forth talking about school and this one new store that opened up at the mall Lexa and I work at 4 days a week.
I invited them all to come over so we could go to the mall for the day and hang out. Janae wrote back and said she didn’t have a ride over, so I got ready to go and pick her up.
As I got offline I got my money together and put it in my leather brown bag I usually use for school and switched out my folder and pencil packet for my wallet and my favorite book “Secrets of My Hollywood Life” I like to read when I’m bored. I put on my brown Chuck Taylor Converse, rushed downstairs, grabbed my keys, lo

For the market you’re aiming at this isn’t bad. It’s a little wordy with some unneeded detail padding it out. Try to work out how you can write things without it sounding like you’re saying it.
I know you’re from the States but the last time I checked with my many American friends right was still spelt with a gh. The rite you use is an advertising gimmick or trade name; Startrite, etc.
