Chapter 1
I was just sitting by the beach minding my own busy when this godly like man walked by. I don't know what it was about him. He was so beautiful, so perfect it was un-human. This had to be a dream. No one is that good looking. Especially not in Forks. "Hello beautiful." He said so sweetly that, if I wasn't sitting, I would have fallen. This guy was too perfect. He glided towards me and kissed me so passionately I almost fainted. He pulled away and smiled, baring his teeth. At that moment I regretted it. Standing there, with his arms around my waist, was a vampire! "No!" I breathed. "No!" My voice grew louder and louder every time I said "No!" He laughed an evil laugh and bit my neck. Sucking the blood from my body. I knew it was the end.
My eyes flew open as I quickly sat up. Rubbed my hands on my neck making sure there were no wounds. My heart was racing. Sweat pouring on my face. "Just a dream." I whispered to myself. "Only a dream. Vampires aren't real. Especially not Edward Cullen." I tried calming myself down. After I was calm enough to walk, I walked over to the bathroom sink and splashed cold water on my face. It relaxed me much more. After wiping my face dry with the hand towel I stumbled over to my bed. I looked out the window. It was still dark outside. I could hear the crickets chirping through my open window. The smell of fresh air made me feel tranquil. I glanced over to the clock beside my bed. Three o'clock it flashed. "I don't have to wake up for another three hours." I mumbled to myself. I didn't like waking up before I needed to. Especially since I moved in with Charlie. I don't think I've had a full night's rest the whole time I've been here.
I laid back into my bed and tried to fall back asleep. I could hear Charlie snoring in the other room. I swear that guy has some sort of sinus problems. Both my bedroom door and his are shut. The walls are thick and I can still hear him. He should go see Dr. Cullen, he'd fix his problem. Now to figure out a way to get him there is a different story. As I thought about Charlie and his snoring I didn't realize I had slowly drifted into an uneven sleep only to wake up, what felt like moments later, to the sound of my alarm.
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP.. It kept going off. "No I don't want to get up." I mumbled. I pulled my pillow over my face to try to stop the noise. "Bella sweetie, get up." The sound of Charlie's voice was heard through my pillow. The beeping had stopped. He must have turned it off... unless I have superpowers. That would be freaking amazing. "I don't want to." I whined. "Get ready and go to school. I have to get to work. Love you." He kissed my forehead and left. I laid there for a good five minutes staring up at my ceiling deciding whether I should get up or not. After thinking it over I slowly got up and got ready for school.
The drive to school felt longer than before. Maybe it was because I was half asleep. I don't really know. When I got there I parked in the only remaining spot. Next to Edward's Volvo. Classes went by slow. I think I fell asleep in English... I don't remember. I was so out of it. Mr. Markenson was talking just like the teacher in Charlie Brown talks. Or at least that's what it sounded like to me.
Lunch was the same as ever. Mike would hit on me; Jessica talked about shopping and about Edward looking at me. I always found myself looking back at him. What was it about Edward Cullen that filled me with such curiosity and hunger to know what is going on in that head of his? Is it a crush? Ha, ha yeah right. How can I possibly have a crush on someone I've never spoken to? Plus the kid hates me. I move here, he stays as far away from me as possible. I am assigned to sit next to him in Chemistry class and he's suppose to be my lab partner but he moves his stool as far to the end of the counter as possible. This guy is totally weird. He wants nothing to do with me.
The bell rang ending lunch break. Before anyone got up Edward and his siblings were out the door. How do they do that? I always wondered. Chemistry class was next on my list. I arrived in class and was surprised Edward wasn't there yet. He usually was always in class before me but not today. Class went by without Edward in site. Skippy the skipper is what I call him. Chemistry finished and so did P. E. That is definitely not my subject. I have no sense of coordination at all. We had to play some game called kick ball. I kicked the ball, just backwards. I was out in no time.
I arrive home with absolutely nothing to do. No teacher gave me homework. I could call Jessica and go shopping with her but then again that will be an all night process. I'll be dead by the end of that trip. That girl can literally shop for hours on end. As I was preparing dinner that evening, a knock on the door was heard. I put everything down and went to answer it. I opened the door and couldn't believe who I was seeing.
