Ohh Forks. Boy do I dislike Forks.
I hated this constant coverage of clouds and rain. I missed Arizona, even though I had only lived there for a short amount of time. I moved here with my father when I was 5 years old, but I still remember the heat and the sun of Phoenix. I really missed that.
I got out of my huge clunker of a truck. It was a red chevy my father had given to me when I got my license. I never had enough money to buy a new one, plus it worked just fine, and I had to admit, I loved it.
I walked slowly to the purgatory that was my job. I worked at Forks Outfitters as a cashier. We sold clothes and groceries there, but I refered to it as "the grocery store", always using a depressing voice of course. The grocery store was an awful place to work. Not that this store was particularly bad or anything, its just that being a cashier anywhere is awful after a while, and I had been there a while!
After punching in I got a drawer from my manager and walked to my register as slow as humanly possible. I turned on the light to the register, illuminating the number 5 and letting everybody in the store know that they could come to my line. I saw a slew of customers look excitedly at the light and hurridely start to walk to my register.
And so it begins.

"Thank you. "Have a good day", I stated cheerfully for what id assume to be the 500th time today. I lazily started ringing up the next woman's order as I mumled a mechanical "Hi, how are you today?," for again what I would assume to be about the 500th time today. I guess being a cashier I should expect repetition, but it was still annoying. "Have a good one," I said as I finished bagging the womans order.
I turned my body around and began ringing up the next order without even looking at the customer, "Hi," I mumled almost inaudibly. "Hello, how are you?," a perfect male voice replied. I was taken aback.
I gazed up to view the mystery man with the amazing voice as I was picking up his carton of eggs. My eyes met his face and I immediately dropped the carton onto the register, breaking all the eggs and creating a nasty mess.
My jaw dropped until I could swear it was touching the ground. I took in a deep breath and loudly, very loudly, said, "OH MY GOSH!!" The customers in line were probably getting irritated and staring at me, along with the other cashiers working around me but to tell you the truth I wouldn't have noticed if there was an elephant in the store or even if the store was burning down for that matter, because there, standing in front of me was none other than, Edward Cullen. And he was staring at me like I had 3 eyes.
I gulped loudly and looked down at the nasty egg mess, trying to play it off like I had said "oh my gosh" because I had spilled the eggs, not because I was beyond amazed that my absolute favorite actor, Edward Cullen, was standing in front of me.
I quickly cleaned up the egg mess with some paper towels and cleaning spray and then continued to ring up Edwards's long order. A million thoughts were racing through my head.
Why was he here in Forks? Is he staying here? Am I dreaming? Oh no his eggs! What should I do?
When I had finally finished ringing up the order and bagging it myself I got the nerve to look at him again. His face was perfect, as usual, gorgeous and just…..perfect. His emerald green eyes were sparkling. They were literally sparkling. Wow!
"Ummm….I…I…you….eggs?"
I could not believe this was happening right now, Edward Cullen was standing in front of me and I couldnt even form a coherent sentence.
I continued slowly,"Ummm I meant let me run and get you another carton of eggs." I started to walk to get the eggs but I stoped when I heard his glorious voice again.
"That's alright…," He paused and looked at my name tag, "…Bella. I don't need them that baddly."
I immediately felt very bad for dropping the eggs. I was such a clutz. "It's really no problem. Im so sorry. I should have been more careful."
Edward held his hand up. "Seriously, don't worry about it. No need to hold up the people in line."
I still felt awful, "Are you positive? I can go really quick I promise."
Edward chuckled and my heart skipped about 10 beats. His chuckle was the best sound I had ever heard. "I'll tell you what." He said softly, " I'll just come back here tomorrow and buy them then. Will you be working tomorrow?"
His words had made me so happy that I considered letting out a "YIPPI!!!!", but I restrained myself. "Yes ill be working tomorrow from 3 to 9," I stated happily.
"Well then I promise I'll see you sometime tomorrow when I get my eggs," he said with a crooked smile that made me swoon.
He paid for his groceries and smiled as he waved goodbye to me. "Have a good day," I said very softly, my voice getting notably softer as I watched him walk away.
Holy shit, I thought to myself in disbelief,Edward Cullen. I smiled as I started to ring up the next order.
