Chapter 1

Crap! It happened again. I fell for a totally cute guy and, two days later he's going out with some girl off the cheerleading squad. Damn! Anyway, time to get up.

I climbed out of bed and walked towards the bathroom. After I got dressed and showered, I headed downstairs for breakfast.

I was eating toast when the phone rang. Of course it was Alice, my best friend.

"Hello."

"Hey Bella. Guess what?"

"What?"

"Jasper bought me a necklace!" She screamed into the phone.

"That's great Alice!"

Jasper was Alice's boyfriend of about 2 years. They were completely into each other.

"Anyway Ali, I got to leave or I'll be late. I'll see you at school."

"Ok. Bye Bells."

I hung up the phone and went to retrieve my jacket off the hook. I opened the door and stepped out to another dreary day in Forks, Washington. But today was different. Because in the house next door there was a moving van and, beside the van, there was one of the cutest guys I had ever seen!

I stood frozen by the door. Staring at the godlike creature next door. Then he turned to look at me. He smiled and I felt my heart melt a tiny bit.

After I gained control of myself I walked to my car, a beat up old Chevy, and started for school. As I drove by the new neighbour's house, the godlike boy waved at me and I almost crashed. I was really in trouble now!

When I got to school, Alice was waiting by her car with Jasper. Like usual. She waved as soon as she saw me get out of my truck.

As we walked to class I saw Jacob, the guy who I had liked talking to Jessica, his new girlfriend. As I walked by he smiled and I felt like barfing. I hated when this happened. Someone rejected you then tried to be nice about it. What's the point?!

When I got to my class, Science, I sat at my normal seat. It was at the very back. Just the way I liked it.

I was doodling on my notebook when he walked in. The godlike creature himself. My new neighbour!

He talked to the teacher, then made his way to the back of the class. Right towards me! He continued to walk then sat in the seat in front of me. A few seconds passed then he turned around to smile at me. Once again my heart melted a little.

"So you're my new neighbour?" He asked.

A simple "Mmm-hm" was all she could muster.

"Well I'm Edward Cullen" He continued. "What's your name?"

"B-Bella. Bella Swan."

"Well Bella, I think we're going to be the best of friends."

"Umm…sure." I whispered back. This was going to be a very long class.
