This is an all-human story. The setting is not from Forks.
September 13th 1987
I was born as Isabella Swan, Bella for short.
July 12th 1994
"Come on Bella!" Edward is just a few feet away from me. I can catch him. I took a deep breath and ran forward. But in mid-way, I'd tripped over. "Haha. Bella the clumsy dumbsy." He sang and ran off and never came back.
He left me alone sitting on the playground floor crying. I thought he was my best friend, not any more.
August 25th 1997
The New neighbour just moved in today. I went over to greet them. As I got to the front door, there was a girl. - Who is about my height or maybe shorter.
"Hi there. Do you need any help?" I asked as she turns to look at me. I clasped my hand on my mouth. "Alice? Alice Cullen?" She nodded.
"Bella?" Now I know whom my new neighbours are. The Cullen. Most importantly Edward's room is right in front of my window.
December 25th 1997
Alice and I had become best friends. I adore her so much, like a little sister. Even though I have an older brother, Emmett. What a bear. I walked to her house at in the morning.
I knocked on her door. Mrs Cullen came and opened the door. "Merry Christmas!" I said. "Is Alice home? I was wondering could she come to my house?" I asked politely
Mrs Cullen is a nice woman. She's just like a mother to me. "Yes of cause sweetheart. But first come in." She gestured me to come in. The house inside was beautiful. Peach colour wall, chestnut colour wood floor. Ginger bread scent following from the oven.
"Mhm… Ginger Bread." I said, closing my eyes to breath in the scent. It's wonderful. I open my eyes and saw a plate of it in front of me.
"Take one dear."
"Thank you Mrs Cullen."
"Esme." She corrected me and smiled.

We went up to attic to discover something amazing, my mother's wedding dress. It's white and strapless. There's a black band around the torso of the dress. Our jaws dropped "This is beautiful." Alice said and I nodded.
We spend the whole afternoon talking about how we – Alice - want our wedding to be like. "Maybe in a chapel. That would be so traditional." Typical Alice. "Or maybe in the plaza, all grand and formal and everyone I know must be invited." We giggled at the thought of a huge party. "What about you Bella?"
"I want it to be small, nothing too formal. Somewhere which can represent both of us. Leave our mark behind. Maybe in the backyard or on the beach at sunset." I let out a sigh, imaging my wedding. How romantic.
"Well. What about the wedding dress? I want it to be strapless and short. I want the centre of attention."
"Well is it your big day. You get all the attention" I laughed.
"I know I know. But still, I need it to be fashionable." We laughed out loud.
January 6th 1998
Today is Alice's 14th birthday. I never knew she was older than Edward or me. I was invited to go to her house for a birthday party. Few days ago I brought her a friendship necklace. Best is for her and Friends is for me.
I got to her house on time. A tall, blond girl opens the door. "We don't want any cookies." She said popping a gum. She's probably around 16 years old and maybe a cheerleader. Not to self: Emmett must not see her, he'll get all flirty. Ew…
"Rose is that Bella?"
"Are you Bella?" I nodded. "Yeah, she's here Alice." She said and went up stairs. I let myself in at the end. The house is always beautiful but the smell is different this time. It's like rose, cinnamon, dry seed scent. It's splendid.
"Hey Bella." Alice said. She is wearing a pink dress. Her hair was braded.
"Happy birthday!" I screamed and hugged her. She pulled away
"Thank you" and smiled, how adorable!
*
"Happy Birthday to Alice. Happy Birthday to you!" Carlisle, Esme, her cousin Rosalie and I sang and clapped.
"Make a wish sweetie." Esme said. Alice closed her eyes then blows 14 candles on the pink cake. We all clapped.
"Here's your birthday present." I handed her a blue box. She pulled the lit opened.
"Oh! Bella! I love it!" She takes it out and gestured me to put it around her neck. It looked perfect on her. She hugged me. "Thank you!" Din Dong
"Rose could you be a sweetie and get that please." Esme said. Rose stopped popping her gum and walk towards the door.
"Hi… there. Um. I'm Bella's Brother, Emmett." I know that voice. It's a… flirty yet gentlemen voice whenever Emmett sees a hot girl. Oh no.
"Hi. I'm Rosalie." Alice and I turned out face too see what's going on in the doorway. Rosalie is leaning on the door. Emmett had his hand places on the wall outside. They are flirting. How disgusting! For a moment there I thought Emmett didn't see me but when I was about to turn away. He called out.
"Bella!" he gestured me to walk to him. He handed me the keys to the house. "You forgot about these."
"Oh. Thanks Emmett."
"So. Emmett where are you heading?" I asked.
"I need to go to football practice."
"Oh. You're a football player?" Rosalie asked. Oh no.
"Yeah. You wanna come and watch me play?" Emmett asked. She nodded.
"Wait a minute." She got into the house. A minute later she came back out with her handbag. "I'm good to go." She hooked her hand in his and off they went. I sighed. Oh no.
"What's wrong Bella?" I shook my head.
"I'll tell you later."
January 23rd 1998
Emmett and Rosalie are officially dating. Rosalie lives only a few blocks away from ours. They are deeply in love. My cousin Jasper came to our house today. I introduced him to Alice…
"Hey Bella. Whose this?" She looked at Jasper
"Jasper. Alice. Alice. Jasper." I introduced them.
"Hi." Jasper said.
"Hi." Alice reply. There was a faint blush on both of her cheeks.
*
Jasper left hours again and Alice had been blabbing how cute my cousin is. It was not pleasant having your best-friend telling you how cute you cousin is.
March 8th 1998
Jasper came to visit again. Unexpectedly, he asked Alice out and Alice said… yes.
March 9th 1998 [5:00pm]
"What should I wear Bella?" Alice asked me in a panic tone while taking out 3 tops "Should I have the blue, black or the gray?"
"Black. It looks good on you."
"Ok. Black it is." She sighed. "I can't believe. My first date ever!"
April 10th 1998
Alice and Jasper are officially dating. They meet each other once in a while. Jasper – of cause – never cheated on her. He's not that type of person. They love each other.
May 7th 1999
"I can't take this anymore Bella? What if he is cheating on me? We barely see each other! And we've been together for a year…" Alice complained.
"Alice. Don't worry. Jasper is not that type of person who would cheat on his girlfriend, let alone that fact you love him." I assure her.
"Really? Are you sure? Aw! That's so sweet of him! I wish we are like Rose and Emmett is right now. So in love." I actually want to gag when Alice mentioned my brother and his girlfriend.
"Yes. Very." Fighting away my nauseous.
"Bella you should go and find a boyfriend, someone who is not Edward. He got tons of girls and they are all big bust or cheerleader. Since he is the best of the best football player." This rings a bell. Wait. This is just like Rosalie and Emmett.
"Just like Rose and Emmett?"
"No, actually Rose is not a cheerleader. She's a science nerd."
June 8th 1999
Alice told me she's going to a boarding school with Jasper, in the same school. I'm going to miss her so much. At that afternoon, Emmett received a mail, which accepted him into the university he wants to be in, with Rosalie. Now I got no best friend and no brother to take care of the bullies for me.
September 10th 1999
Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie had left for 3 weeks ago. I miss Alice. Now I have to stick with Edward.
March 9th 2004
'Do not swear at all;
Or, if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self,
Which is the god of my idolatry,
And I'll believe thee.'
'I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung'
'if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self,
Which is the god of my idolatry,
And I'll believe thee. Romeo.'
'If my heart's dear love—'
'Wanna pull up tough
Cuz you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh, baby I wanna get with ya
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But that butt you got
Make me so horney'
'Well, do not swear: although I joy in thee,
I have no joy of this contract to-night:'
'I like big butts and I can not lie'
"AGH!" I rushed to the window and yanked it open. "Hey! HEY!" Edward Cullen, sick and perverted ass. Who is from a well behave family but turned out to be that type. Where is Esme and Carlisle anyway? They must be busy in the hospital or something. Since Carlisle and Esme are doctor and nurse. "HEY!"
He looked over to me and as well opened his window. "What?"
"Turn down your music please. Some people need to study!" I screamed.
"No. Who told you to study now?" he snapped.
"Well no one told me not too."
"Tell you what Isabella… right?"
"Bella!" you little frustrating and annoying —
"Ok. Tell you what Bella. If you give me a flash or something, then I'll turn the music down. "
"No! Never! In your dream!" I slapped the window close and yank the curtain to one side.
"Fine. You're choice!" AGH! Curses were following in my head. I lay on my bed and tried to relax. Before I knew it, I'm sleeping like a baby.
