Okay, all readers, this is my first all human story, so I'm nervous. I would appreciate reviews to encourage me please. Thanks.

Unfortunaty for you, I usually have long pointless notes, so sorry. Sometimes they contain important stuff, but mostly they are just random drabbles or stuff said to my friends.

"Hey, Alice, sorry I'm late," I said when she opened the door. She had invited me over for the day to hang out and go swimming at her neighborhood pool. Over the course of the day, we wound up talking for hours, just the kind of thing girls do.

We did have a lot to catch up on though, we hadn't seen each other since school had ended. I was happy to just be with her again. I was usually very shy, and didn't make friends easily. I had moved here to Forks, Washington recently because my mother got remarried. Angela had been in all of my classes on my first day of sophmore year, and after sharing something about ourselves in fifth period, we sat next to each other in History and had clicked instantly. We have been friends ever since. Alice was Angela's friend and in most of my classes as well, but I had never taken the time to get to know her. Sometime towards the middle of the year, we became friends, and the next year we had most of the same classes and became closer. This surprised me. I had gone from no friends to two that were probably the best you could ever ask for. My mom of course was my friend, and we were very close, but it wasn't the same.

We laughed for hours, and my cheeks hurt from smiling. We had gone downstairs at some point to get drinks and had wound up with a new subject to talk about and had laughed at her table for a while. It had annoyed her twin brother, Edward, who was trying to read, quite a lot. Other than that, Edward hadn't even acknowledged us. Normally he tried to make his sister's friends miserable, picking on them and teasing them. He had tried to trip Angela and I in school quite a few times.

"Girls, you planning on going to the pool?" Esme, Alice's mom, asked us. We nodded, and after talking for a few more minutes, then got ready to go. Alice and I were walking, Esme and Edward driving.

I noticed that I was blushing more than usual, concerned about how I looked, and trying to give her family a good impression of me. I wasn't sure why, I had been over to her house before. Esme and Edward had gotten in the pool after us, and were tossing a pool toy around. When Alice and I joined, I had embarrassed myself by being a suckish tosser.

We played around for a bit longer, having fun, occasionaly joining Esme and Edward, or just talking. Of course, Edward must comment on this... something about why do girls talk so much or who gets in the pool just to talk.

Charlie, my dad, needed me home too soon. The time seemed to past way too fast. I still had about an hour before he would come to pick me up, but we decided to go back to the Cullen house.

And then the moment that would change my life... Edward got out of the pool. I really noticed him for the first time. He had gotten tanner over the summer and you could see his stomach muscles flex as he gathered his shirt. His hair was wet and dishevaled and he wasn't wearing his glasses. (he had not worn glasses before, he wore contacts, but in the sun it had a completly dazzling effect.)

From that moment on, I couldn't stop thinking about him. He really was the perfect guy, even if he could occasionally be rude. He was smart, funny, tall, and atheletic. He was cute in a not-that-noticable way. He liked to read, and he wasn't perverted like most high school boys. The only thing really wrong with him was that he could sometimes be obnoxious, but that was only to his sister's friends. He was usually nice.

OH MY GOSH! I had a crush on Edward Cullen, my best friend's brother. What do I tell Alice?

I know that that wasn't the best first chapter in the world, but I hope it was at least okay, and good enough for you to want more. So... review please. It would make me feel special!
