Bpov:

Forks looked cold this morning. But unlike the usual norm in Forks (which is a near constant cover of clouds and rain) it's going to be a warm day today. I smiled, what a perfect way to start my birthday. I could ride my baby to school. Alice will hate it of course but then again she never had any tolerance for motorcycles. She will eventually give in, it being my birthday and all.

I'm seventeen today. Nothing extraordinary happened in these seventeen years. School, friends and family was what my life was made out of. Something was different this time, it felt like a storm was coming.

I stood up from my favorite rock up on a hill just outside of Forks. I jogged here every morning. Watched the breaking of dawn and then jogged back home. Watching Forks this early in the morning, watching a new day arrive lets me remember that what happened in the past, is past. Tomorrow is a new day, and no matter what happens today it will also soon be history.

I started to run back settling into the rhythm pretty fast. So it surprised me to see my house loom up out of the dark so quickly. But what surprised me more was that Alice stood on the front porch waiting for me. Alice usually (almost always) slept late. I smiled, Alice is my sister. She's my best friend. We shared almost everything with each other. We told each other our deepest darkest secrets without any fear that the other would spill the beans.

She stood there grinning widely, "Come on Bells. Hurry up and go take a shower. I'm going to make you a breakfast you'll never forget. I already picked out an outfit for you to wear to school today. It's on your bed".

All this was said so fast I had to strain to hear it all. I smiled, " The sun's going to shine today Alice. That means jeans, a T-shirt and a leather jacket. I'll let you pick out the jeans ok." I tried to sooth her out of an almost hart attack while trying to hide my smile.

"You can't. Not on your birthday. You're supposed to look beautiful. Not that you don't always look beautiful. It's just extra special today."

I started to walk towards my room, "Sorry Alice. There are just too few sunny days in Forks. Say... oh... about twelve. I'm driving my bike." With that I closed my room door. I heard a loud huff and something that sounded like "spoilsport" from behind the door.

I sighed and opened the door. Alice was almost at her room. "I love you to Alice, even if you are the most annoying little person on earth."

Alice turned around smiling. "Yeah I love you too, even though you've got no fashion sense whatsoever." With that I knew she wasn't mad at me anymore. I showered, dressed and went down stairs for the big breakfast.

It was big, pancakes, waffles, eggs and bacon. All trough breakfast I opened presents. Charlie gave me a Camera and Renee a scrapbook that went along with it. Alice gave me clothes (like I actually expected something else). Finally, when everyone stopped fussing about me I managed to finish up and mounted my bike happily. I liked driving my bike, it made me feel free. Like nothing could touch me, almost like flying.

School was pretty boring until lunch. Alice and I shared a table with her boyfriend Jasper, his twin sister Rosalie, her boyfriend Emmet and last but not least my best friend Jacob. Jasper and Rose could not be more different. He was quiet and drawn back but gorgeous of course. Rose was strikingly beautiful and some what of a drama queen. Emmett was big and by big I mean muscles upon muscles but he had the softest heart. He was my own personal teddy bear. Jacob was like my personal sun.

Lunch started with more presents. A book from Jazz, a voucher for motorcycle parts from Rose and Emmett and a mixed CD from Jacob. Jacob and I were in the middle of a heated discussion on whether Batman qualified as a superhero or not because he had no super powers, when we had to leave for our next period.

I was still preoccupied with the discussion that I didn't realize that there was somebody sitting at my usual empty table in biology. It was a new boy. He had bronze hair that stood in every direction possible. Striking green eyes and he was for the lack of a better word beautiful. He looked away when our eyes met but not before I saw the troubled look in them.

I took my seat next to him, "Hello my name is Isabella Swan but most people just call me Bella." I held out my hand. He just looked at it and then looked out the window. "What you don't have a name?" It was clear after twenty seconds he wasn't going to answer. "Fine then I'll call you No Name, since we'll be doing some projects together."

Just then our teacher handed each table a pair of pencils and an eraser. "Please sketch the following from the board." There wasn't much time for small talk after that. It was almost the end of class before I had a chance to speak to him again.

"Can you please pass me the eraser No Name?" He didn't look up and he didn't pass me the eraser either.

"This is the part where you pass the eraser to me, you know," I said stretching to get to the eraser. When he finally moved and passed the eraser to my out stretched hand the bell suddenly rang, making me jump. I started to gather my books, "You know No Name a little friendliness never hurt anyone." I only gave two steps toward the door when I heard a whisper behind me.

"My name is Edward, Edward Cullen."

I turned with a smiled. "Enjoy your day Edward." And with that I walked out of the door.
