I remember the first time I saw him... The trees were greener than usual – or maybe it was just my imagination – in this grey hell whole I live in and it was one of those days, in the beginning of winter, when you could smell the snow the minute you stepped out side of the door. I shivered.

"Damn snow" I muttered and walked to my car without falling. I looked down by the car door only to see the biggest ice patch and I sighed doing my best not to fall when I had gotten this far.

While driving I imagined that I was in Phoenix instead which made me loose control over my car but regained it after a few seconds. I had stepped on the breaks and where now standing in the middle of the road. My heart was racing and I began to shake due to the adrenaline rushing through my veins. I hadn't seen anyone one before I lost control but then suddenly some one knocked on my window. My hands were cramped around the wheel so it took a lot of my power to make my hands relax enough to be able to open the door. He had bronze uncontrolled hair and perfect manly features. His jaw was just perfectly edgy and I guessed that he was around 20 years old but then I saw his eyes. The color was a topaz so it looked like liquid gold and they looked so childish.

"You're in my way" he said grumpily and woke me up from my 'dream'.

"Yeah… sorry 'bout that." He made me feel really guilty about it even though it was the ice's fault. "I kinda lost control of my car but I'll move it now" I said.

"Good." He said with a clear hint of anger.

I closed the door and he walked back to his car. Who the hell was that! I thought. New in town perhaps? Wonder if he's gonna go to school or if he's too old for that… I started my car and he sped past me.

When in school I parked my car in the middle of the parking lot and decided to sit there until the bell rang. After a while people stared to arrive and I saw that they were running to the doors of the different buildings and I realized that it was raining. I sighed, jumped out of the car and started to run as well but then I froze. HE was walking past me looking just as angry as before.

"Why the hell are you so mad at me?" I yelled and as soon as he turned around I understood that it was a bad idea. "We haven't really talked." I added and looked down at my feet.

"Why are you assuming that I'm mad at you?" he said, looking surprised.

"You look mad…" I had lowered my voice, to ashamed to speak up.

He was now standing no more than a meter away and then he suddenly pulled out his hand from his pocket. "Edward" he said and smiled to show off his extremely white teeth.

I was star struck for a while until I realized that he wanted to know my name. I took his hand. "Bella"

"Nice to meet you Bella" He started to walk away. "And yeah, I'm not mad" he shouted without turning around.

He's young enough to go in my school! I smiled and blushed. Wait… where's everybody? I looked at my watch. FUCK! HOW THE HELL CAN I BE LATE AGAIN! Stupid Edward…

I went through the day without being really present. There were a lot of times when the teachers or my friends asked me something and I had no idea what they asked.

At lunch, Jessica, had enough. "Bella! What the hell! Where are you today!" she screamed at me.

"…what?" I woke up from my day dream – Edward.

"What the hell are you thinking about?"

I didn't know what to say at this point so I just stared at her.

"It's got to be something. You have been distant the whole day" she lowered her voice and sounded more concerned. "Right guys?"

"Right…" the others mumbled.

"Erm… it's nothing" I said at the same time as Edward walked through the cafeteria door. I stared and Jessica followed my stare.

"Aah… it's a guy." She smiled at the same times as Mike and Eric started to look a bit panicky.

"A-a-a guy?" they asked in monotone.

"Who is he?" Jessica asked in hopes for some gossip.

"I don't know. Met his this morning." I said, not really happy about talking about him.

"What's his name then?" still looking for gossip, Jessica couldn't take her eyes off him.

"Erm… Edward." I said and looked down. My face went really warm.

"Well.. This Edward, is looking at you" Jessica said and smiled.

I looked up only to meet his gaze. He smiled and waved slightly but then his eyes turned confused and he put his hand down in his pocket again. What can make him confused about me? I asked myself. "Should I talk to him?" I asked Jessica.

"ABSOLUTELY NOT!" Mike yelled.

I turned to look at him but he avoided my stare.

"I think you should. He is clearly interested" Jessica said with a smile.

She only wants some gossip. Don't give her that I thought. But I do want to talk to him again I thought and blushed. Maybe I should wait. He doesn't look to happy. Yeah… I'll wait!

"Well?" Jessica asked.

"I'm not gonna do it." I said and smiled. The redness was starting to fade and it was time to go to class anyway. Jessica looked grumpy when we rose to put our trays away.

I was just about to walk out through the cafeteria door when someone put their hand on my shoulder. For some reason I thought it was Jessica that wanted to talk me into talking to him so I just ignored it. Then I heard that everyone in the cafeteria had stopped talking so I turned around only to see Edward standing there.

I looked around and confirmed that EVERYBODY was staring. I tried to say something but the words got stuck so I blushed and almost ran out.

"Hey! Bella wait up!" I could hear him closing up so I stopped. "Why did you run?" he asked and turned my head so I looked him in the eyes. The touch was so light that I barely felt that he was abnormally cold.

"I'm sorry.." the words got stuck yet another time but this time I got frustrated so I looked down again.

"Why are you blushing?" he asked. "Are you nervous?"

I touched my face to confirm the heat in my face. "No!" I lied. A bad lie. So bad that my voice cracked. He laughed and I had to look up to see if it was him. That it wasn't a recorded laughter from a god or something. "Are you real" I asked without thinking. He laughed again.

"I was the last time I checked"

"Erm.. I gotta go to class." I said and sped away. Is this guy for real? How can he be so perfect and so willing to talk to me? I just don't understand it! I thought. I was so in to my thoughts that I didn't notice that the door was closed so I walked right into it. I fell backwards and hit my head on the concrete.
