Disclaimer: I, Kimi, do not own any of these characters nor the book itself, which is really upsetting because I'm a diehard fan of twilight/new moon & soon eclipse. The only thing I do own is this plot line and if someone else has it it's pure coincidence. Thanks!

Introduction

Rain poured down from the heaven's, trickling like a flashflood down my window, and pounding against the roof threatening to break entrance into my small suburban home which was owned by my dad, Charlie. My mom used to live here too at one point, and only when I was a baby until she up and moved with me to Phoenix. Sometimes I'd find myself wishing for the warmth of the sun grazing across my skin and the amazing beach scene but then of course I reminded myself that I couldn't leave Charlie here all on his own, he could barely cook.

I paced my room from my window ledge to my closet which was opened wide with clothes neatly hanging on pristine hangers which had been empty of clothes for the past few years. My mind wandered as too what I was going to wear in such gloomy weather. Thunder roared overhead and that only distracted me for a moment.

Reaching my closet for the billionth time I grasped around a pair of light blue flared jeans with holes in the knees, very authentic might I add. I created the holes when I fell down about three concrete steps, I was always falling, I don't think I can remember one time in my life I wasn't a complete klutz.

My eyes wandered up and down, side to side, in my closet for a decent shirt, hoodie, or sweater and tee combo. I finally reached the conclusion I needed to go shopping, none of the things in my closet remotely matched the next and it was only a matter of time before I was voted by my friends onto the "How Do I Look" television show. I groaned at my displeasure and finally decided on a light purple blouse, at least I'll look halfway decent.

I walked over to my dresser where my jewelry box was placed but tripped over a sock on the floor. Laughing at myself, I opened up the small brown box filled with costume jewelry and a nice thing here or there.

Selecting a small silver necklace with an oddly shaped hear on the chain I placed it around my neck and closed the clutch. I picked up a pair of white sneakers which were soo small they resembled a toddlers shoes and a pair of white and purple tie-dye socks. I slipped everything on my feet and stared at my look in the mirror.

I nodded in acceptance and ran down the stairs to the kitchen table; my keys were lying in a bowl in the center of the table. Charlie sat in the next room over watching his usual sports, I wondered what sport it was this time but shrugged the thought out of my head. I had to hurry over to Jessica's for our small get together, if that's even what you wanted to call it. To me it seemed more like an 'I feel bad for the new girl so I'm going to invite her over for popcorn and a movie' type thing.

"Hey Charlie?!" I yelled from the kitchen and looking into the small den where nothing had changed since the time my mom and him moved in here. His blonde hair which clung to his hard lightly turned around to face me. I smiled meekly at his handsome features, why didn't I get any good looks? I thought to myself.

"Yeah, Bells?" He asked surprised that I was waiting in the kitchen smiling and slowly reaching for my keys to my new but yet ooh soo old truck. His eyes shifted from my hand which was heading towards the keys to my weirdly smiling face. "What do you need?"

"I'm supposed to head over to this girl Jessica's house tonight for a movie and popcorn… can I go or do you want me to stay home?" I asked awkwardly, I usually wasn't a social person and he obviously knew that. The expression on his face seemed to tell exactly everything he was thinking in about two seconds. First off he was surprised I had already gained a "friend", if that's what you even wanted to call her and secondly, he was surprised I was even going out in this terrible weather.

"Sure Bella, but let me drive you, the weather out is just terrible and I'd rather you didn't drive in this." He agreed and slowly rose from the couch over to where I was standing. He placed a warm, strong hand on my shoulder and smiled with pride. "I told you you'd be fine at school, you've already made a friend."

"If that's even what you want to call her." I mumbled under my breath but quickly answered back to him with. "Yeah Charlie, you were right."

We gathered our jackets hanging from the coat rack near the door, turned off all the lights, and headed out the door into the storm which could've been considered a hurricane or maybe a blizzard without cold or snow.

Rushing in the car I slid in a puddle and launched myself at the door which Charlie had opened for me from his side of the cop mobile as I called it. I clung to the door uneasily trying to regain my terrible balance.

I finally plopped myself into his cop mobile and seat belted myself in. This could almost be considered a weird ride just like the ride from the airport back to his house had been but I think we were getting better at talking to each other. His car had a tinted smell of coconut from the air freshener which hung from the mirror. I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath to gather up all the delicious smell.

We arrived at Jessica's house in the heat of the storm, lightening bolts shattered through the sky every ten seconds and thunder rumbled after it, as if it was a heavy man chasing after his light, beautiful crush. I thanked my dad for the drive and told him he could pick me up in about two hours. Maybe tonight won't be weird or awkward… maybe we'd even become real friends.
