So this is my first fanfic, so please don't be too harsh. This first chapter might be generic to what you've read sorry… BUT I promise you later it will be original since some of the stuff that will happen later on will be based on my personal experiences. (Luckily I'm a huge klutz and go to an all girl school where we don't think before we speak) If you are confused or just basically don't get what is going on PLEASE TELL ME. Lots of love. Cela (which is really my name… not trying to rip off Bella Stephanie )

First Impressions

Reminiscing on how he first met Bella when he was 5. Alice is 6 and Emmett is 7. They are not adopted.
I first met Isabella Swan when I was 5 years old and she scared me.
My family and I had moved to Forks Washington from Chicago. A place where the sun hardly appeared and the color green overlapped everything. It was our first day here in this small town. Emmett and my sister Alice were helping my mother Esme unpack our boxes in the house while I sat on the footsteps watching my father Carlisle remove stuff from the U-haul truck.
After a while I dozed off and took a nap. But it didn't last long because she appeared.
The sound of a door being slammed open and the sound of footsteps took me away from my dreams. I sat up and saw across the street a girl my age wearing a navy blue turtleneck with tan overalls running to our house. Did I say my house, no she was running towards me. Scared to death I did what any five year old boy would do, run and hide behind my father.
Without wasting time this girl intruded on us.
"Hi! I'm Isabella Swan but you can call me Bella. I live across the street with my mommy Renee and my daddy Charlie. I've been waiting for you guys to come all week!"
She pretty much yelled this at us. Her voice terrified me.
Opening my eyes warily I then analyzed this girl and noticed she had brown hair pulled into a ponytail with matching brown eyes. Her overalls had dirt on it and her shoes were caked with mud. She was definitely a tomboy. The last tomboy I dealt with shoved me off the swing and scarred my knee. No I was not looking forward to being this girls new neighbor.
I remember my father glancing at me with an amused expression.
"Nice to meet you Bella, I'm Carlisle Cullen and this is my son Edward" my father chuckled.
I slowly moved away from my dad and politely held out my hand, but instead she jumped and hugged me with all her might.
I tried pushing her off me so I wouldn't stain my shirt but she didn't get the hint. Plus she was sniffing me… How awkward.
After my third attempt I heard loud laughter which could only come from Emmett.
"So Eddie who's your girlfriend" After that she stopped hugging me and moved a couple steps away from me.
I in return glared at Emmett. But secretly inside I was glad to have her off of me. I really didn't like her smelling me.
"I'm not his girlfriend" she replied while her face turned bright red.
"Who's not Edwards girlfriend?"
My sister Alice appeared wearing a pale pink dress with a bat black sweater. Her black hair was spiky and had a matching pink beret clipped on one of the strands. As soon as she saw Isabella's overalls she cringed.
Before Isabella could say anything her mom appeared looking flushed.
"Bella how many times have I told you not to run off… Hi I'm Renee your new neighbor. I'm sorry if Bella scared you. You see she's been excited that someone her age lives close by. I told her to wait for me but as you see she doesn't have any patience and…."
Using this as my opportunity to escape, I slowly walked to my house but Isabella caught me. As I looked directly in her eyes she blushed.
Before I could ask her why she was so red her mom called her and she walked away dazed, while I walked inside confused.
That was the day I became very confused with girls.

When I first met Edward Cullen he took my breathe away.
I was so excited to meet the new neighbors and what my mom called him "my potential friend". For weeks I waited for them to arrive. So when I saw the U-Haul truck, I flipped out and ran to across the street without realizing that I had dirt all over my overalls.
As soon as I reached the house my heart stopped. There sitting on the footsteps was a boy my age wearing khaki pants and a white polo shirt. He had bronze hair with emerald green eyes. When he saw me he ran to his father who was wearing the exact same outfit as him.
Hoping to get his attention I yelled out "Hi! I'm Isabella Swan but you can call me Bella. I live across the street with my mommy Renee and my daddy Charlie. I've been waiting for you guys to come all week!"
His father smiled "Nice to meet you Bella, I'm Carlisle Cullen and this is my son Edward"
The beautiful boy I noticed looked a bit afraid and was watching me closely. He moved away from his father cautiously and held out his hand. He looked so scared so I gave him a hug to prove I wasn't terrifying. (Looking back that probably wasn't the smartest thing to do.) But as soon as my arms wrapped around his body I noticed he smelled nice. Like rain and the forest. Lost in his smell I didn't notice anything else until his brother started laughing hysterically.
"So Eddie who's your girlfriend"
I was mortified and realized that his dad and brother had noticed me smelling him.
As I saw Emmett I saw that he had curly brown hair and was tall for his age. His face held a goofy grin as I backed away.
"I'm not his girlfriend" I replied timidly while feeling my face burn up.
"Who's not Edwards girlfriend?" replied a pixie like person. I noticed she was the girlie type since she wore a pink dress and was walking gracefully.
But as I opened my mouth my mom cut me off.
"Bella how many times have I told you not to run off. Hi I'm…"
I started ignoring her when she was introducing herself because I noticed Edward walking slowly to his house. Without thinking I followed him and grabbed his hand. As I looked up I became lost in his green eyes and blushed. My mom dragged me away from him while I was still dazed from his good looks.
That was the day I started dreaming about Edward Cullen. The day I began my crush on this beautiful bronze haired boy. The day that changed my life all together.
