"Josh you better be back in time for supper, you hear me?"

"Ok, sis" Josh yelled as he was halfway down the gravel road. Then I see that he is just a blur, no doubt going to meet up with several of his friends down the road. It irks me that it didn't take my 11 year old brother Josh long to make several friends in the short time we had been here. And I had made only one. But hanging out with his friends helped take his mind off of past events, so I welcomed the distraction.

My mind wanders back to our mother, Renee, and stepfather, Phil, who were killed when the small passenger plane they occupied, along with a few of Phil's teammates, crashed into the side of a mountain several weeks ago. Phil was a minor league baseball player and they were on their way to a game in Georgia.

So Josh and I came back to Forks, Washington to live with our father, Charlie. He is the Chief of Police here. We arrived just as summer break was beginning and it was now fall and time for a new school year to begin. A new high school and strange faces - - I wasn't looking forward to this at all. There was a world of difference between Phoenix, Arizona and Forks, Washington. The most obvious difference: cold, dark, wet and rainy vs. hot, bright, dry and sunny.

Oh, yea, I'm Bella. Bella Swan. I hate cold, wet things.

I didn't know any kids my age at all with the exception of Angela. Angela was the daughter of one of Charlie's deputies and we met during the 4th of July picnic Charlie had for all his employees.

She and I are going to go shopping for school clothes today.

[Honk – honk] There she is. "Come on, Bella, let's go. We've got a ton of shopping to do. Then we're going to meet up with Jessica, Mike and Eric for lunch at the diner."

Oh no, I really don't want to meet new people right now, but when I give her my annoyed look, she just responds, "Oh it will be fun, they are my best friends". How can I say no to her, she looks so excited. "Ok" I relent.

She proceeds to turn on the radio, full blast, blaring…"Oh, girls just wanna have fun"

I am in for a long day.

"So, Eric, who is this girl that Angela wants us all to meet?" I'm feeling really bored right now.

"She's Isabella Swan. Chief Swan's daughter." Hmm the chief's daughter. That could come in handy in the future to be friends with the chief's daughter. [Mike walks into the diner] "Hey, Mikey, we're over here." Jessica shouts too loudly. "Hey, Jess, I heard you along with the rest of the population. And you know I don't like being called Mikey" and leaning over to whisper to her "Except when we're alone".

"There's Angela's car. They're here. That must be Isabella"
