An annoying sound wakes you up, and for a moment, you don't recognize the place. For a few seconds, you don't know where you are, until you see your backpack lying on the floor and a dog watching you at your right. You remember you just moved to Forks, to live in with your dad, and THIS is your new room. In your new house... with Charlie's dog.
You turn off the alarm by tapping your phone's screen.

You toss and turn inside the warm sheets a couple of minutes, hating the fact you'll have to abandon them to enter the cold atmosphere, but you have never been the one for missing school, so your inner voice claims you to get up.

As you make your way to the bathroom, you hear your father's voice from downstairs as he's talking on the phone. You don't get to hear anything, but you weren't interested anyway.
As you climb downstairs and sit on the kitchen table, your father, Charlie Swan, the chief of police, serves you a plate with eggs, bacon, fries and a slice of toast.

"Wow" you say, "you can cook, dad?"
Charlie smiles and serves you a cup of coffee, while sitting next to you.
"You're damn right, I can" he laughs.

You both have breakfast and make small talk between bites and sips of coffee.
"So " he starts, "we have a couple of neighbors. The Smiths, across the street, who are a nice and quiet retired couple. You can always stay over with Mrs. Smith if you want to spend some time with a grandmotherly figure. She makes uh... cookies and sweaters and all that.
And we have the Cullens, next door. They are a nice couple who have like a hundred foster kids... who happen to go to Forks High."
You keep on chewing your food, and nod to everything he just said. You don't really mind for this information, since spending time outside the house sounds like something everyone will avoid... its always raining in Forks. Charlie sips his coffee again and without taking his eyes off from his cup, he continues.
"I called Doctor Carlisle and asked him if his kids could drive you to school. I just got a call from the station with an urgent matter and your car is not ready yet."

You want to answer, but your mouth is full. Everything is starting to sink in, and when you're about to say anything, there's a knock on the door. Charlie picks up his and your plate and walks to the zinc.

"So go ahead and say hi to your new neighbors. You'll be carpooling today, sweetie. Im sorry" he says from over his shoulder.

Swallowing a groan, you stand up and walk towards the door. For some reason, when you arrived this town, you felt like it was a new stage in your life, but after opening the door, you felt like your whole life changed. A tall, pale and well shaped man with bronze hair is standing outside. His marble-shaped face seems confused, and he stares into your eyes, with his golden pupils, like a fly drawn to a light; hypnotized, trying to find an answer to his thoughts in your eyes.
You start to feel nervous, or dazzled, or maybe hipnotized as well. You startle when Charlie stands up behind you.
"Edward, you met my daughter, Bella."

The god-made-man named Edward clears his throat, and you see the nerves on his neck and his collarbone react to this, as he cleared his throat, reincorporating himself.
His eyebrows dance as he tries to regain posture.
"Yes, hello" he stretches his hand to you and offers a warm smile. "My name is Edward Cullen and I live next door with my family. My siblings and I are going to ride to school and we wanted to take you with us."
You seem amazed by his politeness. He stated everything as if it was his offering, not Charlie's idea.
"Hi, Bella Swan. Thank you... very much" you manage to answer.

You kiss your father goodbye and walk besides Edward to a shiny silver volvo.
In front of the volvo, there's a Jeep, where you see two people inside. A blonde girl and a bulky boy.
Inside the Volvo, there are other two kids. Now you understand the "a hundred foster children" part.

A very nice, big eyed girl with a pixie haircut greets you from the back seat, as you sit in the passenger seat. "My name's Alice, and this is Jasper." she says, referring to a blonde boy next to her. She's grinning widely, as if she was excited for you too be there.
You introduce yourself and embrace for a small talk ride with strangers to school.

At least you would not be alone.
