Summary: Bella's gramps gives her a locket with a picture of her and a civil war soldier... who is this new family moving to town...better yet, why does the new gorgeous student look just like the soldier in the locket?

Today in History, we began going over the civil war. It was, to me the most interesting war. There was

so much that went on and to think that it all started here in the States is crazy. It would be so romantic to have

been the lover of a major in the war. Men back then were so much more attractive and gentelmanly. As I was

thinking, or more like fantasizing about a gorgeous major from the civil war, the bell rang.

My grandparents were coming over for dinner tonight and I was at the mall trying to find a nice dress. I

ended up going with a dark blue satiny dress that stopped just above my knee and criss crossed in the back. I found

some cute sparkly gold flats to go with it. When I got home My mom (renee) and My dad (charlie) were cooking

dinner, mushroom ravioli, my favorite! I went to my room and changed. I took my hair out of its braid and let it

cascade down my back. The doorbell rang and I bolted to the front door.
