Chapter 1

Ehhhh. EHHHHh. EHHHHH!!!! Frustrated, I smacked the 'Off' button on my alarm clock. Dragging myself out of bed, I grabbed my robe and slouched over to the bathroom. After a quick 5 minute shower, I ate breakfast, and packed our lunches. Packing away our homework in my backpack, I headed out the door to my bus stop.

Huh? Oh, right. My name is Bella Swan, and I live in Forks, WA. I live with my father, Charlie, like I have after my Mom divorced him. I could've chosen to live with my Mom and her new husband, Phil, in the more preferable Phoenix, but I couldn't. I couldn't leave my Dad to fend for himself - I mean, seriously! He should arrest himself after he cooks! I swear!

Well, anyway, I trudged myself to the bus stop, and it was raining. No surprise here in Forks. I took out my umbrella and handed it to Them. They're my best and only friends here at school, Lauren and Jessica. We've been friends since childhood, and we're tight. I mean, I don't see them after school much, but that's because they're busy! Or, at least, that's what they tell me.

Soon enough, the bus drove up. Lauren sneered at me, and threw the closed umbrella at me, drenching me even further. Hmm? Oh, she doesn't mean to be like that. I think she's just having a bad start to the day, which sets her in a slump. Like every day.

She and Jessica sat together on the bus, leaving me to sit alone. When I sat down, they dumped they're bags on me. Opening them, I slipped their homework inside. Hmm? What's with these questions? Well, yeah, I do their homework, cause I'm the smarter one of the group, and friends help each other out, ya know? And, i sit alone because, seriously, who's gonna watch over our stuff if someone doesn't sit with it. Well, that's what Jessica tells me. And, she knows best! Just like Lauren.

And school, I quickly gathered our stuff, and went inside the school, a little bit ahead of Lauren and Jessica. I don't want the most popular kids in school to be seen with such an awful person like me, ya know? I mean, I'm the biggest nerd and klutz, the outcast. That would make me a bad friend. Lauren and Jessica are so nice to be my friends... I put their stuff away, and set up the stuff for the first three periods for them. Because, I don't take care of my nails, so it doesn't matter if I break them. Perfect sense.

I handed off their things to they're friends today. Funny, they're always boys... nevermind! Jessica and Lauren can do no wrong, they said so! And friends don't lie to each other, you know. I quickly grabbed my own things and quickly walked off in the other direction. Or, rather, I tried to. Instead I tripped over someone, dumping all my stuff. Ugh, see what I mean about being a klutz? I flushed a bright red.

"I am soooo sorry! I didn't see you, I swear it won't...." That's when I looked up and saw who I ran into. He was the most gorgeous person I've seen in my life. He had this copper hair set up in orderly disarray, and had the most stunning golden eyes. He was strong, clearly, but not overly built up. And he had the most beautiful read lips too, though they were set into a hard line, like he was trying to stop himself from something. Like what....?

"Ohmigod, Bella! Do you have eyes?" Someone jeered, breaking my train of thought. Ah, it was Lauren.

"Yeah, walk much, Bella?" Jessica sneered as well. They have to act like we're not friends too, to keep up their reputations. I mean, that would be awful for them if anyone found out we were best friends. Best friends with klutzy, horrible me...

"Sooo... you're, like, new here, right?" Lauren said the the god I tripped over. She flipped her hair over her sholder, and smiled.

"Yeah, I mean, I've never seen you here before," Jessica interjected, turning so her good side was facing him. My friends were so smart with their looks! While me, on the other hand, had this limp, ugly brown hair, and had the palest complection ever. Even for living in Forks! Or, at least, I was the palest. This god in front of me is even paler... I wonder where he lived before? Because, as Lauren and Jessica said, he's not from around here. He must have moved recently...

"Yes, I have recently moved here with my family. From Alaska," he answered, in the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. I sent shivers running down my spine. Like listening to velvet...

"Oh! Do you have any brothers?" Jessica asked, excitedly. Lauren rolled her eyes at her, looking disgusted. But, of course she isn't. Friends don't get that way at each other, right?

"Jessica! that's not how you treat new people!" she whispered fiercely at her, but loudly. "So, Alaska, huh?" she continued ina nicer voice, directed at this god. Just then the bell rang.

"Well, I don't want to be late to class on my first day," the god said, and he quickly walked off, almost like he was running away from them. Huh, that can't be right. No one runs away from Jessica and Lauren... At least, not like that, anyway.

"Great job, Bella! You scared him off! This is ALL your fault!" Lauren yelled at me, quietly, though. Can't let others know she's talking to me directly.

"Yeah, Bella. Maybe we shouldn't be friends if you keep doing that," Jessica said, with a smug and amussed smile on her face. Or, at least, that's what it looks like. But it can't be. Friends wouldn't look at each other like -

Suddenly, Jessica's words sunk in, and I started hyperventilating. What! NO! Not friends! My heart started beating erraticly, and tears started collecting in my eyes.

"God, Bella. You're so... so..." Lauren started, but got caught up.

"M-m-melodram-matic?" I stammered out.

"Yeah! that! You're so melodramatic Bella. We were joking. Get it? Can't you take a joke? GOD, Bella!" Lauren said. Jessica just giggled, not so quietly.

Quickly relief washed over me, and I took it happily. The tears dried up slowly, and my heart and breathing went back to normal. During my 'get-back-to-normal' time, Lauren and Jessica walked to class. That makes sense. Your education should always come first. Even for friends. Content again, i walked off to class, and picked up my tardy slip from the teacher. This one was blue. Huh. my last 10 were pink. The teacher must've wanted to change it up. I shrugged it off, and was attentive through first, second, and third periods.

Lunch finially came, and, like always, i sat far, far away from Jessica and Lauren. You know, for their reps. It was no biggy. I took a bite out of my plain turkey sandwich, and that was when it happened. My first glance at all of the new people. The new family to Forks.
