A/N: Hey people of the world!

Yeah, so this is a short little one-shot about my version of how Bella and Edward meet.

It includes lotsa other characters, too though!

All-human, of course (cause that's my fave)

Oh, and there is one little difference:

THIS IS NONFICTION!

That's right, people, don't let names fool you, because this story is true, and its all about me!

Well, was. It happened this summer, but I changed all the names around.

So just sayin: ALL CHARACTERS REPRESENT REALPEOPLE!!!

I sighed as the door swung shut behind me. The plain, white walls of my homeroom looked uninviting to say the least. Mr. Montell was sitting by his computer, letting everyone know using the projector that showed everything on the computer that he was playing online chess, and that he was losing.

People were chatting at their desks, probably discussing their oh-so-delightful summers. I went over to the back of the classroom and sat in one of the 2 empty seats, which I assumed was mine. The other two people, who I saw were Jessica and Angela, nodded shyly at me and said, "Hey, Bella."

In other words, I really, really hated the first day of school.

How could my life have taken such a fall in one day? My summer had been great, though. I sighed and reminisced…

I fanned my beach towel out by the ends, letting it fall slowly onto the soft sand of the beach. It was mid-August, and the summer turned out to be a drag. I had spent the first two weeks at a camp with my 2 best friends, Alice and Rosalie. Mike and Eric had come along, as well, but Eric had been busy with his girlfriend, Michelle, and Mike was flirting around with the rest of the camp girls. It was a funny sight, but what was even better was being in the presence of Jacob.

Jacob Black. It made me sigh just thinking of his tall structure, and his soft, long hair that was framed around an amazingly tanned body. I hadn't really spoken to him until the pool party, where he came up with a nickname for me: Chimes. He came up with nicknames for other people, too, but I liked to think of myself as the special first.

I had a huge crush on him, but it was soon gone when I noticed what really went on. He was always trying to impress Lauren, my evil cabin mate, and I was extremely jealous.

It was hard getting over him, but I knew that I was really close. Just the day before I had come to the beach, I went to a fountain and made a wish, not on a penny, but on a dollar coin, that I would find someone else. And it was amazing how fast and well that had worked out.

So I was tanning on the beach. My baby sister, Renesmee, was sleeping on her own towel. My brother, Emmett, was surfing and my parents, Renee and Charlie, were at the bar just a few yards away. I looked up from behind my red-rimmed sunglasses just in time to see my parents heading over to us. I waved to them, and I noticed that my mom's eyes were not trained at me, but at something behind me.

"Elizabeth! Edward!" she shouted in a high, squeaky voice that I did not recognize at all as my mother's. I turned around and grabbed my face immediately in a way that was probably making me look like a freak because, standing before me, were the most beautiful people I had ever set my eyes on.

The man, who was probably Edward, had bronze, curly hair that hung in his eyes. His eyes were a warm brown and his cheekbones were high and large. The woman, who I assumed was Elizabeth, had hair the color of onyx that cascaded down her back elegantly and eyes and intimidating bright green. They were both beautiful, but they could not compare with the boy next to them, who could only be their son.

He looked to be around my age, 17. His body wasn't too muscular, but it wasn't bony, either. He had killer abs, I could see that right through his shirt. But what really caught my eye was his face.

He had his father's bronze hair, except his was straight and stood up on edge. It framed his high, large cheekbones perfectly. He had full lips and his mother's bright green eyes. But his were somewhat different than his mother's. They had a strange look to them. They pleaded, they wanted, but I knew they didn't have to work that hard. He could have probably gotten anything he wanted with his looks.

I let go of my face quickly, hoping that they hadn't seen the shocked and amazed look that was imprinted on my face a second before. My mom ran at the two adults and hugged them fiercely, the way she did to our relatives when she hasn't seen them for a long time. "Renee?" the woman says incredulously. "What… what are you doing here?! It's been years!"

My mom kissed both of their cheeks quickly and said, "Well, you're the one to talk! How did we lose contact 14 years ago?"

Ah. So they were friends for a while, I could see that, I thought. My mom's head flicked around quickly. She grabbed my arm and pulled me up. The book that I held flew out of my hand and the blanket I had wrapped around me fell down, showing my bikini. The top was a light blue halter and the bottom was some dark blue shorts. Alice told me a million times that I looked fantastic in the pair, but I wasn't comfortable showing it off.

I found out then that Alice was telling the truth. The handsome boy gawked at me and gulped. I smiled shyly at them. "Liz, Eddie, this is my daughter, Bella. My son, Emmett, is surfing and over here is my little girl, Renesmee. But I don't believe that I met this young man when we last saw each other?" she let out the last sentence as a question.

Elizabeth smiled proudly and grabbed the boy's shoulder lovingly. "This is my son, Edward Junior. I believe he might be the same age as Bella. Seventeen, correct?" she turned to me and asked.

I nodded. All of the adults smiled smugly. "Well," my mother said. "Would you two like to accompany me to the bar? I am sure that the two big ones can take care of everything here." She looked at me, making sure that this is all right.

"Its fine, mom. You go have fun," I said encouragingly. Liz, Edward Senior, and my mother walked away, and I was left with an angel.

"So, do you live around here?" a velvety voice asked from behind me. I immediately felt limp and weak, so I plopped down onto me towel and looked over at Edward.

"I live far away in probably the worst town in the world, if you really want to know," I responded gloomily.

Edward sat flung his towel, just as I had done when I arrived and it landed right next to mine. He sat down and leaned over so his breath was warm in my ear. "Ah, but there are so many other things that I really want to know about you, Bella," he whispered seductively in my ear.

He pulled his face away and gave my body a look-over. This gave me both an uncomfortable and amazingly jumpy feeling. "Well, we can get one thing straight for sure. You are beautiful."

I blushed furiously and Edward chuckled. "Your blush is cute," he said. He leaned in so our faces were only centimeters apart. My heart was racing a mile a minute and I could tell, from our intense closeness, that Edward's was, as well. Huh. That's unusual, I thought. "I like it. I could see right through your façade, you know. This is new to you. Different, in a way, and you like it. You enjoy new things. I do to. Now there is just one thing I want to try."

He leaned his face ever closer to mine and I was surprised to feel his soft lips on mine gently. It was a bit too forward of him to kiss me when we only knew each other for about 5 minutes, but who is to say that I didn't enjoy it anyway?

We had spent about 5 additional minutes kissing after that, and when we finally stopped, we talked. We talked a lot. He told me about his ex-girlfriend, Tanya and I told him about Jacob. We sat there awkwardly after that, but soon we both got over it and started talking again.

My brother, Emmett, came over about a half hour later, soaked through and through. "Hey, Bella," he said teasingly, "Who's your new boyfriend?"

I didn't correct him there. After that kiss, I had no idea what we were. "Emmett, this is Edward. His parents are really close friends with mom. Edward, this is my brother, Emmett."

They shook hands politely. Edward beamed up at Emmett and said, "Wow, I saw you riding those waves. Your pretty good, man."

Emmett tried to keep a straight face, but I could see that the flattery had taken the toll on him Edward had intended it to. "Thanks, man," he replied. "You wanna ride?"

Edward shrugged. "Sure," he said nonchalantly. "Just give me a sec." Emmett shrugged and ran at the ocean. Edward stood up and took off his shirt, revealing a better view of his body's amazing perfection. He bent down and kissed my lips quickly but passionately. I hoped we would be able to see each other again some other time soon after that, but I knew the chances were small, since my family was leaving 3 days later.

I watched Edward surf. He had amazing skills with a board, I had to admit. I felt jealous. Not of Edward for being able to surf so well, but of my brother. My brother, who was having a great time with Edward right then.

Edward came back about an hour later. He was drenched all over, and when he saw me, he sat down on his towel, placing his board next to him, and leaned over to kiss me. His lips tasted salty in an amazingly delicious way. We did this for about 10 more minutes, and then broke apart when probably the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to me in my entire life occurred.

"Uh," someone from behind us said uncertainly, then coughed a bit. Edward and I split apart quickly and looked up to see our families looking down at us uncomfortably. Even Renesmee, who I thought was still asleep, was in my mother's arms, clapping excitedly. I blushed so much; I thought my cheeks were being ripped off.

"Sissy," she said happily, "You finally have a boyfriend!" Everyone laughed at this, including Edward. I even giggled a bit. Renesmee loved discussing relationships with me, even when it made me feel uncomfortable. The laughter died down and changed into an awkward silence.

"Well, this sucks," Emmett spoke up. "We were watching you two go at it forever, and you ruined it."

"Emmett!" my mother shouted disapprovingly.

We waited for the rage that filled our inner circle to die down, then my dad, for the first time in a while, said, "Well, you guys are kinda fast." He noticed Edward and my confused gazes and explained, "We were down by the bar and were talking about how you two would be the perfect couple. We spoke too soon, I see." I blushed yet again, and when I looked over at Edward I was surprised to see a bit of pink lighting up his pale cheeks, as well.

When, finally, everyone's laughter died down at our blushes, we exchanged goodbyes. I had hugged Edward Senior and Elizabeth already, and then I was on Edward. He was clapping my brother on the back, but when he saw me standing there he let go of Emmett's shoulder and stood in front of me. I wrapped my arms around his waist and kissed his cheek. "Stay in touch," I murmured into his ear.

He lifted his hand and cupped my cheek gently. I started the kiss this time, starting out light and then more passionate. When we split up, I finally noticed that all eyes were on us, and I blushed for what seemed like the millionth time that night.

So there I was, thinking about the marvelous time Edward and I had together on the beach as Mr. Montell called attendance. I muttered "Here" absentmindedly when he called my name. I wasn't really concentrating on the names he was listing until he called one out that caught my attention. "Edward Cullen?"

I sighed. There must have been a new kid named Edward. What a strange coincidence, I thought, just as my angel stepped into the room and said in that soft voice that I loved, "Here."

Every girl in the room gasped at his beauty. I couldn't control my shock. His piercing green eyes looked around the room, probably searching for the empty seat. I stood up and his head snapped quickly to me, and then he was smiling. He was smiling my favorite smile, that gorgeous crooked smile, and then he was there in front of me, and I was in his arms…

I hugged him close. I looked up and saw that Edward, my Edward, was smiling down at me. "What are you doing here?" I managed to choke out.

"Surprise," he murmured. He leaned down just as I drew is face close, and we kissed passionately. People were gawking at us, even Mr. Montell, and they started clapping. I felt embarrassed. What are they seeing, looking at us from the outside? Probably two strangers who somehow felt a connection and started making out.

But I was in Edward's arms, so all my cares seemed to slip away…

And at that moment, I made a decision.

I loved the first day of school.

Ya like?

Ya dislike?

Please like…

Yeah so I was just thinking about the time when this happened to me, and I was letting it all out, and I'm like "Wow, he's like Edward and im like Bella wow…"

So it kinda grew on me.

Ok, so we didn't kiss in front of the whole class when it happened to me, but we did hug in a way that people stared, believe me!

R&R!

And while you're at it, take a look at my story-in-progress, Freedom of a Kiss!

It's going really great!
