I do not own the characters…they are owned by Stephanie Meyer. Got the idea from Katy Perry's song, "One of the Boys". Enjoy!

It was the summer of 2008 and baseball season was winding down. Bella Swan pulled her batting helmet and stepped to the plate. As the only girl playing in the league, she was used to the catcalls and jeers from the other team. She let the first two balls fly through with out swinging, both strikes. The bases were loaded and the Forks Spartans were down by 2 runs with 2 outs at the bottom of the 9th inning. After seeing the 2 strikes, the Port Angeles Angels were ecstatic, sure they had just won the state championship.

Bella took one last look at the runner on 3rd, Edward Cullen. They had been best friends since he moved next door 10 years ago, and Bella simply gave him a smirk and a slight nod. Suddenly the 3rd pitch was thrown and Bella swung with all her might. The ball flew over the heads of the Angels into far left field. She took off running, knowing she'd be rounding second by the time the other team lifted their jaws off the ground. Bella crossed home miles ahead of the ball and jumped into the arms of Edward, swinging her around and laughing. Before she knew it Jasper and Emmett were tearing her out of Edward's arms and hoisting her up on their shoulders to celebrate their unexpected win.


Later that night Bella and Edward were sitting in the oak tree separating their yards. They were discussing the game when Edward suddenly stopped talking and leaned in towards Bella, looking in her eyes. Just as Bella thought he was going to kiss her, Edward's eyes were diverted across the street. Bella followed his gaze and saw a girl getting out of a car.

"Who is that?" Edward asked. "I haven't seen her around before."

Bella immediately began racking her brain trying to remember if Charlie had said anything about someone moving in with the Denali's. Carmen and Eleazar were like grandparents to Bella, but she couldn't ever remember anyone coming to visit them in years.

"I don't know," Bella said. "I'd go find out tomorrow but my flight for Phoenix leaves at 8. Renee wouldn't be pleased if I didn't show up for her 2 weeks. I guess that leaves it up to you to find out who she is."

"Okay," mumbled Edward, still staring at the girl. Bella took another look and saw she had long strawberry-blonde hair that curled to her waist. Bella ran her fingers through her won dark hair, wondering what Edward was so taken with. She didn't see anything special.

First fan fiction…let me know if I should continue. Will try to have 2nd chapter up by the end of the week.
