Chapter 1

my name is Emily Stevens. I'm 16 years old and i have the most umm interesting best friend. I live in a really small town, Forks Washington. Well i technically live in two towns. I live on the dividing line of Forks and the La Push. I spend most of my time alone, well i use to, in the woods drawing or writing stories or poems.

I don't really have many friends, there are a few people at my school that talk to me, but none i would call a friend. Except maybe this one boy, Jacob Black, he has always been nice to me. I live to far in the woods to go to Forks high school so i go to the small high school in La Push. I besides Jacob though i don't talk to anyone but Rose.

I was born in Forks, and grew up in town, but one day my mom decided she needed a change and we moved to the woods. Its just my mom and me, i don't know why she got such a big house for just two people. I like going into town sometimes. I still talk to the kids from when i was younger and they call me.

About a year ago now i got a call from my old best friend Angela she called to tell me about the new family that moved into town.

"Emmy you have to come visit and see them!" Angela screamed into the phone. Angela is a very quick girl but she does like to gossip.. with me.

"Why Ang? Don't you think that's a little weird?"

"No i mean, they are hot!"

"ANG!? Thats so shallow."

"ok. But still you have to see them" she laughed.

"Sure Angela" i laughed. "i gotta go bye!" i didn't really. I never went to see them i always had an excuse it broken my heart to ignore Ang like that but she had Jessica now she didn't need me. After about 3 weeks Angela stopped calling about the Cullen's, the new kids in town, she called every once and a while to ask me to hang out. And i would but not a lot. There wasn't much gossip until the second semester of school started. When the police chef ,Charlie Swan, signed his daughter Bella up for school. Than on Bella's first day i got a call but not much else until one night at about 10 i got a call.

"EMILY!" mom called up the stairs to my room.

"YA!?"

"PHONE! AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS NO CALLS AFTER 9 ON SCHOOL NIGHTS!"

"YES MOM" i yelled back and walked to the phone. "Hello?" i couldn't think who would call at 10 at night.

"Oh my Gosh EMMY! You will never guess what happened tonight."

it was Angela and she was right i would never guess i never do. "what Ang?"

"EDWARD CULLEN CAME AND PICKED UP BELLA AND TOOK HER TO DINNER TONIGHT!!"

"Oh my god Ang? That's amazing" i replied sarcastically.

"Oh Emmy you know it is. I think they are dating!"

"so?"

"So, Edward Cullen is smoking, every girl thinks so."

"And? Whats wrong with Bella?"

"Nothing its just will she's plain. I mean shes pretty sorta but plain. I thought Edward would date like a model. Or some blond if anyone from school i thought maybe Lauren"

"Oh, well than im Happy for Bella but im going to bed. Night Ang."

"Night she signed." it was 2 weeks after that call that i met Rose. And a week and a half before i saw them.
