Yeah.
Good times.
The lovely Marvar has taken her own personal love for all things Sixteen Candles and Twilight and combined them into one fucking, hilarious story…”Yeah, You”.
I actually saw this story on Twilighted and was immediately drawn to it because of the banner – the classic shot of Sam and Jake sitting on top of a table, leaning over a birthday cake, their faces illuminated by the glowing candles. Feeling nostalgic already, aren’t you? When I started reading the story, I didn’t know what to expect. What I found was a witty, sharp and funny story, filled with relatable emotions and the best dialogue I’ve seen since an actual John Hughes movie.
Bella, in this story, isn’t the unassuming and painfully shy girl of the series. No, she’s in a new school, with a new wardrobe, courtesy of her new best friend, Alice. (You can’t get away from certain things in canon.) Most importantly, however, is her new attitude and confidence. When she spies the most beautiful boy she’s ever seen – insert your favorite Edward image here – she is immediately drawn to him and asks Alice who he is. Alice tells her that his name is Edward, but also informs her that he is taken. He has a girlfriend – insert your least favorite Tanya image here – and he is not up for grabs. Not because she couldn’t take him from her, but because Bella is too good to be the second-hand slut that steals boyfriends. Ah, angst already…and we haven’t even moved past the first chapter.
The POV changes in this story between Bella and Edward. When we are introduced to Edward’s thoughts, we are also introduced to the wonder in this story that is Jasper Whitlock – Edward’s best and completely hilarious friend.
“Another year at good ol’ Forks High. Fantastic. Maybe this is the year I grow a pair of balls and finally do what I want. I walked over to my best friend and slapped him hard on the back. “Hey man, we’re seniors, and we’re going to rule the school.”“Did you just quote a line from Grease?” he asked with a laugh.
“Yep. And you recognized it, so don’t judge.”
“Touché, my musical loving friend. That’s my mom’s favorite movie.”
Yes, that’s right…Jasper is my favorite character in the story. He has a secret crush on Alice Brandon, but fears that she hates him because of an unfortunate misunderstanding that took place their freshman year. His banter with Edward is always sharp and spot-on.
“The minute you get all emo over Alice I’m going to destroy you, Jazz-hole.” I gestured wildly at him with my free hand.“Relax, Ed. I’m just messing around. You’re going to give yourself grey hair from all that stress. Then all of the girls won’t be able to wet themselves over your “fabulous, coppery sex hair.”
“Coppery what?” I asked in astonishment.
“Sex hair. That’s how the girls describe it. Also, they ruin their undies thinking about getting lost in your dreamy green eyes. I have to try my best not to hurl whenever I hear that shit. The worst part of it is they are all jealous of Tanya because she is the one who is supposed to be all over your hotness.”
“Did you just call me hot? I’m flattered, Jazz. But my heart belongs to Bella. Maybe I can sign a photo for you… if you promise not to jack-”
“F-you. Don’t even say that shit.”
This story has everything you love about the movie. Bella’s sister, Rosalie, is getting married on her birthday and she’s pretty pissed and emo about it. She’s in love with the hottest boy in school…that happens to be taken. Her house is being occupied by her grandparents and James, the gay, French foreign-exchange student they brought with them (Pure genius as the play on Long Duk Dong). The school geek, Mike Newton, has a crush on her and ends up with one of her undergarments in an interesting twist to the original story. There’s an 80’s dance (complete with costumes), a blow-out party that gets way out of control, talk of Bella’s boobies and a blow-job tutorial – taught by, none other, than James. Because, who would be better to teach you about the art of felatio, than the promiscuous, gay boy that’s currently living in your house? No one.
Marvar has written a story that is pure, fucking win on every level! It makes me giddy every time I have a new chapter to read because I know that I will get to spend a few, uninterrupted moments laughing my ass off…or swooning like a schoolgirl. I had a conversation with her once about who she loved more – Edward or Jake Ryan? She complained that it was a hard question, but ultimately chose Jake. The great thing about “Yeah, You” is that you don’t have to choose. You get them both…and combined, they are the boy of our high-school dreams.
