Bella Swan was a girl who did not like Twilight.

She did not like many things. She liked 4thwallcore bands and second-wave feminist literature. That was about it.

On the other hand, she didn't dislike many things. Twilight was one of them.

Her parents had named her Bella Swan because they were down on their luck, and an equally down-on-luck magazine was jumping the shark and offering a cash prize for a Worst Baby Name contest. The magazine went out of business before they could get the prize. Instead they got one of its laidoff minor executives as a personal servant for satisfyingly less than minimum wage.

When Twilight came out, this unusual name earned her a lot of frenemies and a lot of embarrassment. These frenemies used to joke about how one day, she would meet a vampire named Edward Cullen and fall in love with him. When her parents heard about this coincidence, they bought Twilight, read it, forced her to read it, told every media outfit they could find about their daughter's name, and took to frequently making this joke too.

It would be a bit cliché to say that Bella never expected it would come true. It would be better to say she rarely thought about it.
