Prologue
In a world where some love is forbidden, there's a place where no matter what people say or think, its undeniable.
Chapter 1- Love at first sight
Forks High School… the school where ill be staring tomorrow. My name is Edward Cullen. My family and I moved to Forks, Washington, also known as one of the wettest places in the world, from San Francisco, California. My family has seven people, my father Carlisle, my mother Esme, my oldest brother Emmet, my oldest sister Rosalie, me, my youngest brother Jasper, and my youngest sister Alice. Carlisle's job is being a doctor, he loves his job. Esme is a stay at home mom. Me, Alice and Jasper are going to be in the 11th grade and Rose and Emmet are in the 12th grade. I'm not looking forward to Forks High School.I was still unpacking my stuff from the trip, it was almost 9 P.M. when there was a knock on my bedroom door. Alice walked in, " You have a guest Edward, she's down in the living room." I looked at her. Alice has a petite body and brown pixie like hair. I walk out the door leaving my stuff still unpacked. Who can be visiting me, we just got here and I don't know anyone here. I walk down the hall to the stairs to see a blonde haired girl waiting by the bottom. She had an athletic shaped body. Her hair was in a pony and she had on blue jersey shorts and a white tank top. Ill admit, she did look pretty. I started walking down the stairs. Do I know her. She doesn't look familiar. Maybe she was in my class at one time. "Hi Edward, how have you been, I haven't seen you like in forever!" I looked confused and at once she introduced her self. "You don't remember me do you? I'm Jessica, we used to hang out when we were five." She smiled and I realized that show of remembrance was on my face. "I've been good. I haven't finished packing yet so I'm kind of busy right now." She stopped smiling as soon as this was said. I should talk to her so I can have at least one person to talk to tomorrow. "Do you want me to leave--," No you don't have to leave. Its nice you came by. Want to go outside?" I looked back up the stairs to see a quick glimpse of Rose and Alice spying on us. Jessica laughed. I cant believe them, cant anyone in this family get any privacy?! As if she read my mind Rose said," We live in a small town now, no one is going to get any privacy." Rose's voice was soft and velvet like. Jessica looked confused for a second and then happiness showed up. " Well lets go outside. See you at school Rose! Bye.. Alice… was it?" Jessica turned around and I her Alice mutter " Oh, sure she'll remember Rose's name but not me." Alice's voice was just like Rosalie's but quieter. I chuckled to myself. "What's funny?" Alice looked like a little kid that got in trouble for sneaking candy before dinner. "Nothing Rose." Me and Jess walked out the door to the front porch. " I like your house, its so open and bright." "That's because we don't got all our furniture yet." I heard her mutter." I can see that" We looked at the ground for a while when a low rumble started in the sky. "Well I better go, looks like rain." "Well we live in Washington its not a big surprise." "Ill see you at school tomorrow." And just after she said that rain started pouring down. In a second, she was gone. I went back into the house. Rose, Alice, Jasper, and Emmet were all waiting for me. " So… how'd it go with Jess." Rose asked. I rolled my eyes at them at walked back up the stairs. When I got to my bedroom I saw the clock on my desk. It was already 9:30 P.M. I hadn't realized it was so late. I wanted to hurry up and finish packing so I could sleep. I hung up the rest of my clothes up in what was the rest of my closet space. I took my bathroom stuff to the bathroom, and when I got back it was 10. I was tired from all the packing so I decided to take a shower in the morning and go to sleep. I laid in bed think… thinking about school, and Jessica. Before I knew it, I was sleeping.
I woke up just before 6 in the morning. I was still tried but I had to wake up. I got out of my bed, grabbed any pair of pants and any shirt off the hangers and went to the bathroom. It was very quiet, I guess no one was up yet. I took a 5 minute shower, when I was dressed I heard noise form beyond the door. My family was up, let the noise begin. I went out the door down the stairs and went to the kitchen for breakfast. Rose and Emmet were talking, Carlisle was reading the paper, Esme was making pancakes, and Alice and jasper were talking. When I walked in everyone went silent except for Esme who was setting pancakes on plates. When I sat down, the noise started again. " Edward, honey, would you like some pancakes?" Esme's voice was soft and quiet, but loud enough for a whole room of people to hear. I replied," Sure." She set a plate down, it had two pancakes and butter on them. I went to the frigate to get some syrup. When I turned around Alice said " So today's the first day… again." "I'm sure it'll go by just fine." Carlisle's voice was slow and soft. I looked around the table and everyone was eating. I started eating my pancakes. It was almost 6:30 when I was done. I put my dishes neatly in the dishwasher. I went back upstairs to brush my teeth and then I had about half an hour on my own. I went back to my room and started to go through the one last suitcase of my stuff. It had all my books and music. A suitcase of books and CDs would seem heavy, but to me they weren't. I put the suitcase on my bed and started pulling the books out three at a time. One both of my hands were full, I set them on the shelf by my door. As soon as I set them down Jasper called me. I went to the living room. "Edward, we have to go now." I looked at the clock about the front door, it was only 6:45. Carlisle said," School starts at 7:15. If you want to get all your things settled in at school you need to leave now." So I grabbed my jacket off the coat rack by the door and went outside. Rose followed, then Emmet, followed by Alice and Jasper. We walked off the porch, everyone quiet, to the garage. When Emmet lifted the handle to open the garage door, four shiny cars were parked there. My shiny silver Volvo, Rosalie's shiny red convertible, Emmet's white spotless jeep, and Carlisle's shiny black Mercedes. I got in my Volvo. Alice and jasper got in too, but Rose and Emmet got in her convertible. We drove out of the garage. It took about 5 minutes for us to get to the school parking lot. No cars were parked there yet. Me, Alice and Jasper got out. We walked to the building labeled with a black 1 on the corner, guessing it was the administrative office. When I walked in the door Emmet and Rose were just getting out of the car. I could see why. Cars started to arrive. They probably just want to make a grand entrance. Rose always wants to be in the spotlight. When Alice, Jasper and me were in the office, a lady who must be the secretary, asked " Are you guys the Cullen's?" She said our last name with disgust. "Yes ma'am, I'm Alice, this is Jasper, Rosalie, Emmet, and Edward." She said my name like I was winning an award. She look at me, then Emmet. "Which one was Emmet-- never mind, you need to fill out these papers," she hands each of us a emergency card and a pink slip that must be for the teachers. " When you go to your classes, make sure you have each teacher sign the pink paper, and fill out that emergency card. Give these papers back to me at the end of the day." Rose and Alice looked disgusted at her then walked out, leaving me, Emmet and Jasper. "Uh, we need our schedules." Jaspers voice was soft usually, when he talked to her it was ice cold. "Ah yes, here." We grabbed five schedules, one with each of our names on it. "Give those to your sisters." Emmet walked out of the room with Jasper smirking at the lady. I looked at her then walked out. My locker was at the same building as my first two classes. I looked at my schedule, when someone called my name. Jessica. "Edward, wait for me!!" I stopped walking. When she caught up with me she took my schedule. "May I?" I shrugged my shoulder and started walking. "You don't have any classes with me. I looked down at her, " Do you think you can show me where my classes are at?" She smiled, " Sure, it'll be no problem. And when one of my friends walks up to us, ill introduce you OK?" " Sure" I really didn't want to meet any of HER friends. We walked out the door outside. It was raining and the parking lot was full of all different kinds of cars. Jessica walked past them like it was no big deal, it wasn't to her because she saw these cars before. We walked into a building labeled 2 and as soon as we walked in we were warm instantly. We walked a little ways down to the math room with Mr. Varner. "How long is math class?" "Its an hour and a half, all the first classes are. The second classes are 2 hours and 15 minutes. Then its lunch." "Oh, OK." "I'll meet you after class and I can show you where English is." "Ok." I walked into the room, everyone was already there. I walked up to Mr.______ and handed him the card he was supposed o sign. "Are you Edward Cullen?" "Yes." He signed the card and gave it back to me. I was hoping he wouldn't introduce me, but he did. "Everyone this is Edward Cullen." He pointed to a seat in the back. "That's where you'll sit, next to Mike Newton. I walked to my seat and sat down. "Hey, I'm Mike." "Hi, I 'm Edward." It was about 15 minutes later when I asked Mike, " Hey, do you think you can show me where English is? Jess is supposed to show me, but--." " No problem, I know Jessica can talk a lot." "Thanks." I was listening to Mr. Varner for the rest of the time. I kept constantly looking at the clock. Five minutes before the class was supposed to be over, we were dismissed early. I was happy so I wouldn't have to explain to Jess. "Where do we go now?" "Well English is up the hall by the door outside. Hey Eric," He looked at boy with black hair who was walking behind us. "What?" "Aren't you in English next? Do you think you could walk with Edward?" "Sure but you said you would." "I know but I have to go to my locker and everything. Bye." He was walking further down the hall to some lockers. "Whatever, Mike is too lazy to do anything." "Your names Eric?" "Yeah." We started to walk back toward the English room. When we got in, I walked up to the teacher, Mr. Mason and gave him my card. After he signed it, he told me to sit next to Eric without introducing me to the class. So far he was my favorite. This class seemed to go by even slower than math. I remembered that Jessica told me this class was 2 hours and 15 minutes. "Hey Eric, do we go to lunch next?" "Yeah." I watched the clock and tried to listen to Mr. Mason. After watching the clock for what seemed like hours, and it was, the class was over. "Where is your locker Eric?" "Right next to yours. If we hurry, we can miss Mike." I laughed at him when he said this. We went out the door and down the hall to our lockers. We walked out of the building and went to the cafeteria building. When we got in the cafeteria I looked at the tables. At one table where Jess, Lauren and two girls I didn't know were sitting. At another table my family was sitting at. "Edward, do you want to sit with me, Mike, Tyler and Ben? Or your family?" I looked at him. "Who's Ben and Tyler?" "Well if you sit with us you'll find out." "I think I should sit with my family today. But tomorrow for sure I'll sit with you." He looked at the table where my family was. "Sure whatever." I walked to the table and sat down. Alice said, "So Edward how did class go? Did you make any friends? I have two friends, Angela and Lauren." "Um, yeah Mike, and Eric." Rosalie said," Me and Emmet have two classes together now." "What did you do to make it "now"?" She looked at me with evil eyes. "I didn't have to do anything, there's this one boy in my math class, Tyler I think, and he had a class whit Emmet and I asked him to switch me. And he did." I looked all around the cafeteria at all the people. Jessica was looking at me with angry eyes. I looked away from her and saw a girl sitting all by herself. She had brown hair and pale white skin. " Hey Alice, who's that girl over there sitting by herself?" Alice looked up from the table and looked for who I was talking about. "Oh, she's in my class. Her name is Bella. She doesn't talk at all to anyone and when I asked some girl in my class about her all she said was Bella's too intimidating for people to talk to her." Bella looked up form her table at Alice. When she looked up I noticed her eyes. They were red. And she had purple circles under them like she was tired. She looked at me and looked like she smelled something no one else could. I looked away from her, "Why are her eyes red?" "I don't know, no one knows." "She's so pretty though, wouldn't people want to talk to her?" "Edward?" I looked up and saw Jessica. "Can I talk to you?" I was dreading this moment. Maybe I could ask her about Bella. "Sure." We walked to a empty table. "Why does Bella sit by herself?" She looked disgusted when I said her name. "When she moved here from Canada two or three years ago the boys went crazy over her. They kept trying to talk to her but she gave them weird looks. No one talked to her after that." "But she's so pretty, why would they just give up, maybe she's shy." "Did you just say she's PRETTY? I wouldn't even bother with her, she'll just ignore you like she did with the other boys." "Oh." I looked up at her and she looked like she was about to cry. "Well I'm going to go sit by Lauren now. See you later!" I watched her walk away. No matter what people said I was going to make it a number one thing to talk to Bella. I liked her so much and I didn't know her. I wanted to know her though. It was love at first sight.
