Summary: Bella moves to Forks from NYC and deals with the struggles of moving to a new town her senior year.

Chapter One

Bella's POV

I woke to the annoying sound of my alarm clock. My name is Isabella Swan, Bella for short. I just moved from my hometown of New York City to the small town of Forks, Washington. I am a senior in high school. My parents are divorced.

My mother, Reneé is the coolest mom anyone could ask for. She is a 3rd grade teacher at an elementary school in NYC. She is young, and doesn't like feeling old. That's why she's more a best friend than a mom, although she still is strict when she needs to be.

My father, Charlie, is also pretty cool. He isn't as young as my mom, but he gives me my independence. He makes sure I have the necessities, but he doesn't nag me about anything except for boys. That's okay though, because I never had a boyfriend.

The closest thing I ever had to a boyfriend was a crush that I had my freshman year. His name was Jacob Black, the hottest guy in school. He was incredibly good looking, kind, smart, and funny. I asked him to go to our freshman dance that spring. He rejected me, and told me I wasn't right for him. I cried for weeks, and never attempted at love again.

I came to Forks to live with my dad because my mother got remarried. He is kind and funny, and his name is Phil. He is an actor, and he travels all over the world to act in plays and movies. My mother always stayed home with me, but I could tell she wasn't happy. I came to Forks so she could travel with Phil.

I got into my Smart Car that my dad got me as a welcome home present. He said it was smart like me. How cute is that!?

As I drove into the school parking lot, everyone stared at me. I guess that's what you get when you're the new girl in a small town. News travels fast. As soon as I got to school, four boys and three girls offered a seat at their lunch table to me. I gladly accepted, they seemed really nice. I later found out that their names were Tyler, Mike, Eric, Ben, Jessica, Angela, and Lauren.

I found the office and retrieved my schedule. I also took a map of the school. It was smaller than my school in New York, but it was still easy to get lost in.

My schedule read:

Period 1- Math - Mr. Smith

Period 2- English- Mr. Banner

Period 3- Art- Mrs. Loringer

Period 4- History- Mr. Pabam

Period 5- Lunch- Cafeteria

Period 6- Biology- Mr. Molina

Period 7- Chorus- Mrs. Prazo

Period 8- Physical Education- Mr. Mardello

It was a pretty decent schedule, except that I have to come to school and go straight to math to work my brains out. English is great, I always wanted to be a writer, so I get that after the horribleness of math.(no offense to people who like math)

Today in math they were doing advanced equations and it went by quickly, especially because I did these in my old school last year. English went by quickly, we just read 3 chapters of our novel. Art was easy and fun, we drew still life's of fruit. History was boring, I don't really like learning about dead people. (no offense to people who like history)

I sat with Eric, Tyler, Mike, Ben, Jessica, Angela, and Lauren at lunch today. Turns out that they're in most of my classes too.

All of a sudden, I turned around to find the most gorgeous people at the table behind us.

"Who are they," I asked.

Jessica and Lauren squealed at the chance to talk about them.

"They're the Cullens, Hales, Whitlocks, and McCartys. The gorgeous blonde is Rosalie Hale. She models with Tyra Banks. That brought our town some popularity. The muscular guy next to her is Emmett McCarty. He is on our wrestling team and wins every time. He is dating Rosalie. The blonde boy is Rosalie's twin brother, Jasper Hale. He is mysterious and no one knows much about him. He is dating Alice Cullen, the tiny ball of energy. She is the short, spikey haired, pixie. She is obsessed with shopping and buys only designer clothes. And last, but DEFINITELY not least is Edward Cullen. He is Alice's twin brother and is incredibly gorgeous. He is the one with bronze hair, and those stunning green eyes. They seem to look right through you." Jessica finished her descriptions with a hopeful look in her eyes, but Lauren quickly added, "Don't waste your time, Edward doesn't date. Everyone girl and even some boys have tried but he always rejected them." She finished sounding jealous of anyone he would go out with.

"Oh," I simply replied. I was too busy staring at that Greek god of a person.

The bell signaling lunch was over took me out of my trance. When I stepped into biology, expecting it to be boring, I got a big surprise.
