Trying to Ensnare Edward

Hearing my alarm clock ring loudly, I leaned to the side trying to press my snooze button with my tired hand. After enough haphazard swinging with my hand, I was awake enough to sit up, turn off my alarm clock, and look outside my window. Although Forks was mostly rainy all year round, and everyone took it for granted, I sometimes wondered what it would be like to live in a place where you got surprised by the weather; to be able to look outside everyday, and guess how it would look outside. I wished there were more surprises in Forks.

Moaning, I got up off my bed, got changed, washed up, and was ready to leave for school early. I checked my makeup in my mirror, fixing a bit, and then checked my hair. Although I knew that the misty rain of today would do damage to my appearance, it was fine for now, although I made sure to bring my makeup bag for touchups. I hurried to my generic, bland car and got in.

Driving to school, I worried that although my jacket was only slightly wet, what if it soaked into my car interior? Then it wouldn't be as pretty as it was before. My mom always says that I am shallow minded and self-absorbed; only thinking about myself and my appearance. But so what? I think that I am a normal teenage girl, and isn't that what all girls think? Besides I like who I am-even though I love to be the center of attention. Anyway, who doesn't?

Finally arriving at school, I noticed a silver Volvo, which looked almost new. Wondering who had gotten a new car, I stepped out of my own and started walking to Forks High School, the school I had been attending for three years so far. As I walked to it, I saw the door to the office open...and my wish came true. There will be excitement around here-and it's all going to be about me! I excitedly told Lauren and quiet Angela that a new family had moved here to Forks, and that they were all seemingly flawless, with pure white skin, and mesmerizing eyes. I wondered if maybe their parents were plastic surgeons or something due to their apparently perfect appearance.

Once school began, I went through my classes, not caring about anything but what new haircuts the girls had gotten, and all the gossip around me. I also dreamed about the "new kids", hesitating to say "kid" when they looked so mature for being juniors and seniors (I had heard from Lauren, Queen of Gossip, what grades they were in). I also learned that they were all adopted by Dr. and Mrs. Cullen and that their names were Emmett, Alice, Edward, Rosalie and Jasper. However, Rosalie's and Jasper's last name was Hale because they were twins, although still adopted by the Cullens.

Finally, getting to lunch, I passed by the Cullens. I looking at their table, I saw that they all had almost untouched trays of food, and all were talking in quiet voices with serious faces. There was a very tall muscular boy with dark hair, Emmett, that seemed to be with the amazingly beautiful girl with blond hair, Rosalie-such an old fashioned name, I thought. There was also was an extremely petite girl with very short dark hair, Alice, that also seemed to be dating another of the adopted brothers and sisters, Jasper Hale. He had blond hair, and wasn't as muscular as Emmett, but wasn't weak looking in the least. I thought that they both looked astonishingly handsome, but the one I had my eye on was Edward. He had wind-blown bronze hair, and although he wasn't as tall or large, he wasn't taken. As well as being extraordinarily handsome too.

I hope that I would be able to show him that he didn't have to stay single much longer. I would show him just what girls in Forks were like. Then I would have a date to the Holiday Dance, and every girl would stare enviously at me! I could hardly to talk to him and set my plan into action!

As I sat down at lunch, everyone was talking about the Cullens. How handsome and beautiful they were. How graceful, and how smart. I listened, but in my head I tried to plan how I would snare Edward, the most handsome boy I had ever seen.

I thought to myself; what if I walked over to their table now? Would it be too forward? Yes, I decided. I needed to some how get Edward alone. I decided it would be pointless to plan, until I got to know all of them better. Maybe I would have a class with one of the Cullens or Hales, and I could befriend one to get to Edward. Oh well, I will wait until I have more information. Finishing lunch, I stood up still thinking.

But as soon as I did, I saw Lauren staring at me with confusion. "What are you like so deeply in thought about? I mean, you like are never so deep in though." Lauren said with a hint of disapproval in her tone.

To which I replied, "Don't you think that Edward is sooo hot?"

"Um, duh. Anyone with eyes can see that."

"Well that is what I am thinking about. Gosh, haven't your eyes ever glazed over at the sight of perfect manliness?" I replied, not telling her of the preparations I had made to win Edward over. I didn't want her to try to out do me, like I knew Lauren's devious mind would think.

Leaving the cafeteria, I stopped off at my locker, and then was on my way to classes. I went through the day, finally realizing last period that I didn't have any classes with Edward, and that the classes that I had with his siblings were taught by strict teachers that would not let me talk at all in the class. I wished that we somehow could have had a class together, but I didnt think that there was anything that could change that.

As I made my way through the halls disappointed, I caught sight of an auburn head of hair. Walking quicker, I was very happy to see that it was Edward! Quickening my pace, I went to walk next to him. Finally beside him, I said in a flirty way, "Hey, Edward. I'm Jessica, but you can call me Jess!"

He responded looking slightly bored, in a way that totally shocked me. After all, most guys at our school would be more than happy to chat with me. I am popular you know.

"Hello Jessica. I am having a pleasant first day. Thank you for your concern." And with that he was gone. He swept through the hall with an amazing agility as I stared at his leaving (hot) form. I sighed disappointed, but figured that it couldn't take much longer for him to start to like me.
