I don't own Twilight

I really hope you like it, though … and REVIEW!!

Chapter One

Phil

"So," said Renee. "I'm going out. Aren't you excited for me?" I was happy that she wouldn't be at home waiting for me, but still, it was her date and not mine. She wobbled around on the floor that needed a good clean—but Renee wouldn't do it and wouldn't pay anyone to.

Renee hugged me and wished me a good day.

She was wearing her green shawl that complimented her eyes, and her grin was genuine and ear-to-ear.

"Of course, Mom," I said. Her smile faded quickly as she dug out three dollars from her jeans pocket and handed it to me.

I turned around and closed the front door behind me.

It was sunny and hot. The desert, and where it began at the end of the street, were cold and ominous and seemed to be readying itself for a hurricane. I sat on the grass and waited for my friends.

I knew she was watching me as Lynn's blue Mercedes pulled up (don't ask). Lynn's hair was blowing in the cold wind and she motioned that he was in the back. I ran my fingers through my hair as she called,

"Come on, Ella!" The horn honked.

"One second!" I cried and ran back to our front door and opened it. My mother stood right there, only to reassure me that she had been watching my every move. "Mom," I began, "can I go out with my friends tonight—" I didn't even finish before she responded,

"Sure." I smiled as I closed the door, but she frowned.

I ran back to Lynn's car, only to run back to my front door and open it, gasping, "What's his name?" Her face suddenly lit up as she told me.

"Phil." I closed the door for the final time and opened the door to the Mercedes.

"Hey," said my boyfriend as I sat in the front.

I sighed.

I turned off the lights and stepped into the beautiful world of Phoenix at night. Renee had left an hour ago for her pointless date with Phil, who I'd heard all about the moment I (once again) opened my front door. He was a minor league baseball player she'd met online—she'd been "uber-happy" (Quoting my mother) to find out he lived in Phoenix.

Lynn beeped Gergory's horn and I ran to her car, almost tripping but catching myself. "Come ON!" screamed a guy who I guessed was Sarah's new boyfriend.

"Oh, shut up," said Lynn, and her cousin (who was new in town) said that the movie didn't start until seven, anyways. It didn't.

As I opened the car door and quickly kissed Gregory I wasn't surprised to realize that Sarah was bouncing off the walls as her mouth exploded with useless information.

Sarah's long brown curls were bouncing everywhere as her hands flailed, telling us how she had met Ben, and how wonderful he was. It was the same last week—but his name was Sam.

Ben was gorgeous, and I wasn't surprised, knowing Sarah. He had blonde curls that stayed, and he wasn't bouncing up and down all of the time. His skin was the palest I had ever seen, and his eyes were black.

"So," I asked Ben. "Why haven't I seen you ... around?"

"Home schooled," said Ben. "I'm allergic to sunlight."

So, I know it was kind of short, but that's OKAY (or I hope you think so!)! I just want some REVIEWS!!
