Forks

Ok, so I live in Forks. No, wait scratch that. I don't really live in Forks. I'm just

staying here for April break, visiting my cousin Bella. I would so rather be in New York

right now in the city with all my friends, but I guess hanging with my cousin who I

haven't seen in five years is cool too....yea right, who am I kidding. I literally just arrived

at my uncle's front door. I ring the doorbell (pretty obvious I was going to do that,

right?).

"Come in," I hear a muffled male voice say from the other side.

I open the door.

"Hi Uncle Charlie, I'm here-wait, you're not Uncle Charlie," I say, startled by

this young man standing in front of me.

I dropped my bags.

"Edward, who is it?" I hear a female voice say from a different room.

That's probably Bella I'm hoping, or I just have the wrong address.

Stupid cab driver. I so should have not tipped him, I think to myself.

The man laughs. I look up at him. did Bella just say something funny that I

completely missed?

"It's your cousin," Edward (I'm guessing, unless I'm going completely insane) replies back to Bella.

"Oh my gosh, coming!" I hear footsteps descending the stairs.

Yup, that's Bella alright.

"Hey Stephanie! Oh my gosh, I've been waiting for your arrival!" she comes and

hugs me.

"Um, hi Bella. Where's Uncle Charlie and who is this guy?" I ask.

"Dad's at the police station taking care of a recent murder case." I stare at her

wide-eyed.

Uncle Charlie is part of the police department? Whoa, I so don't know my

mother's side of the family.

"Anyway," she continues, walking over to the guy, "this is Edward, my

boyfriend."

"Please to meet you Stephanie," he greets me.

"Um, you can just call me Stevie or Steph," I reply to both of them.

Here, let me show you to where you will be staying. Edward, can you carry

those bags please?" Bella says as she starts walking up the stairs.

"Oh, no, I can do it. It's no big deal," but Edward beats me to it.

His hand brushes against mine. Wow, his hands are freezing! Doesn't Bella

notice it?

"I got it," he tells me while lifting my bags.

"Um, thank you?" I mumble as I follow Bella upstairs.

She gives me a tour of the upstairs, then finally reaches my room.

"This is, well, um, my room which we will be sharing for now," she gestures to a

room with clothing everywhere.

"Uh, thanks," I reply while walking in the room, careful not to trip over anything.

"Well, one thing's for sure, she did not inherit your father's clumsiness like you

did," I hear Edward whisper to Bella.

She giggles at this and I hear the noise as Edward kisses Bella lightly on her forehead.
