CHAPTER ONE

BPOV

I moved to Forks when I was 15, and stayed with Charlie. He's my dad, but i hadn't seen him since I was 8. I used to come visit him for a few weeks every Christmas. I went in the old, white and creaky house. Charlie showed me to my old room. He didn't change anything except for the size of the bed. The walls were an off white and there was a desk in the corner of the room.

I went to Forks High School a few days after I arrived. Charlie surprised me with a truck he bought from Billy Black, his longtime friends. It was raining and cold as usual. I parked in the back of the lot so people wouldn't see my old truck.

I trudged over to the building. I saw a group of students that were all perfectly flawless. They were like models. One of the boys kept staring at me, and another girl smiled at me. I continued to the office, I picked up my schedule.

Of course it was the middle of the semester so I was going to be the new girl. I waited in the office for papers to be printed out. The receptionist said "Alice, do you mind showing Miss Swan to her class?" I turned around and it was the beautiful girl who smiled at me. She introduced herself as Alice Cullen.

She had the nicest clothes and shoes. "I'm in all of your classes!" she said excitedly pointing at my schedule. I was glad someone would be nice in my classes. We stopped at the Biology 101 room. We sat down at a lab table together. I glanced around the room and saw the boy who kept staring at me. I assumed he was a Cullen, they all looked related. "Who is that Alice?" I asked looking at him.

Alice turned around and started giggling. "That's my brother, Edward". "What about the blonde one sitting by him?" I questioned. "That's Jasper, we're together". She waved to him and he smiled back. She was in all of my classes so we got to know each other really well.

When I first saw Alice I thought she was a model or something like that. She was always compassionate but controlling nonetheless. When we'd go to lunch at school Alice, Jasper and I would sit away from her siblings because i had a feeling they didn't like me. Especially Edward, he always gave me looks like he wanted to kill me. Rosalie was the most beautiful girl in school, she kind of scared me. Emmett was just plain unapproachable being his size.

SENIOR YEAR

I was planning on going to the Cullen's house on a Friday night to work on an assignment with Alice and have a sleepover. I never was one to want a sleepover, but Alice insisted. Alice said she was going to pick me up but when my doorbell rang, it was Jasper. "Do you need any help with your bags?" he asked me. I shook my head, and he walked me to the car.

Jasper opened the trunk and I put my stuff in there, then he opened my door and we left. It was a silent and VERY awkward car ride, but at least he drove fast so it didn't take long to arrive. Jasper brought my bags upstairs to Alice's room. Esme was first to come over to me. She was gardening so I greeted her and went into the house. Alice was waiting, of course!

For some reason she always knew exactly when I arrived, I never questioned it. Alice motioned me to Carlisle's study to find the books for our project. He had books from the 1800s if we needed them. Carlisle said he got them passed down in his family, but they were like new. We walked into the room to find Edward there.

He gave Alice a glare and made a face like they were talking to each other. They always had silent moments in front of me; I was going to have to ask Alice about that.

Edward then nodded to Alice and said "Hi Bella". He had a crooked smile on his face but I could see the agony behind it. I always wondered why he looked in pain when he saw me. Edward left and Alice and I started working on our project. I couldn't help but ask, "Alice, does Edward hate me?"

She replied with a smile almost devious, "Actually he really likes you". I was stunned by the answer, and kept working. Alice knew I liked him, he was perfect and gorgeous and sweet behind the glares. I was getting tired so Alice and I went to her room. As we went up the staircase Jasper passed us and whispered something in Alice's ear.

Then she nodded and we continued up the stairs and into her room. Alice let me sleep on her bed. It was soft and was king sized with old carvings on the headboard. The Cullens had the nicest things especially compared to other people in Forks. I laid down and pulled up the covers then Alice said that she was going to go talk to Jasper about something important and then left.
