"Dad, that's really not necessary. Why don't you just let me cook?"

"Bells, don't be ridiculous. You just got here today, there is no way I am making you cook for me. And besides, I'll bet there will be some kids from school at the diner. It wouldn't hurt to know a few people before school starts tomorrow." Charlie finished.

I guess he was right. I just got in from Phoenix today and I was starting school tomorrow. Summer ended a week ago, but we didn't finalize the situation in time for me come before the year started. It wouldn't hurt to know a few people. That way it won't be as awkward.

"Let me just grab a jacket, I think it's still raining out," I said as I turned to go up the stairs. I grabbed my jacket off my bed after nearly tripping on my unpacked suitcases. I lived with my mom my whole life, but since Charlie and Renee separated she has gotten a new husband. Phil is a minor league baseball player and travels a lot. I could tell Renee wanted to go with him, but she always stayed with me instead, so I decided it was time to pay Charlie a more permanent visit.

Forks, Washington was tiny. And Forks High School isn't half the size of my old school. Everybody has known each other all their lives, and I'm coming in at the start of junior year. It was going to be interesting.

The Carver Café was pretty small, but Charlie knew everyone there. I went threw many introductions, and apparently I was reacquainted with people I had met during summer visits. When we finally reached our table and I started to scan the menu when the most beautiful family I'd ever seen walked in.

The father figure was tall and blonde, and the woman I assumed to be his wife was a gorgeous brunette. They had two kids who appeared to be my age with them. The girl was tiny and had short black hair. And the boy. Oh my. He had gorgeous, disheveled, bronze hair and a perfect face with stunning emerald eyes. He was much taller than his sister.

"Char- Dad, who's that?"

"Who? Oh, they're the Cullens. That's Dr. Carlisle Cullen and his wife Esme, and their children, Edward and Alice. I think they're around your age. Nice family. Good kids. They moved here a few years ago from Chicago." Charlie was police chief and knew everyone's story. Each family was judged by the behavior of their kids.

We finished our meal in silence but when we got up to leave Charlie went straight for the Cullen's table instead of the door. I followed obediently and stood beside him.

"Hi Charlie!" Alice said cheerfully. "Is this Isabella?" Charlie nodded and Alice jumped up to envelope me in a hug.

"Alice," Esme warned.

"Oh! I'm sorry, Isabella! My name is Alice. We'll be going to school together. It's so nice to meet you!"

"It's nice to meet you too, Alice. And please, call me Bella." I told her, surprised at her giddiness.

"Bella, this my father Carlisle, my mother Esme, and my brother Edward." Alice pointed everyone out with her arm still around me.

"It's nice to meet all of you." I said politely.

"It's a pleasure to meet you," Carlisle said as he shook my hand.

Esme shook my hand as well, "It's very nice to meet you, dear."

"Bella, it's so nice to meet you," said Edward in a velvety voice. As he took my hand, I swear I felt a jolt of energy.

"Y- You too," I smiled. His was amazing as he smiled back.

"I wanted Bella to know some kids before school started tomorrow," Stated Charlie.

"Well it looks like Alice is already taken with Bella," Carlisle laughed.

"Oh Edward! We should drive Bella to school!" Alice started clapping.

"That'd be great. But Alice, why am I taking you and not Rose?" Edward asked her.

"She's fixing her car so Emmett is taking her and Jasper," Alice explained semi-calmly.

"Oh Bella!" Goodbye calm. "We're going to be the best of friends! Me, you, and Rose can have sleepovers, and go shopping!" Alice started clapping again.

"And she's off," Edward murmured.

"And we can get mani-pedis! Oh! And in the summer we can go down to the beaches at La Push! Bella we're going to have so much fun!" She enveloped me in another hug.

"Well Bells, we'd better get going," Charlie stated.

"Alright, it was nice meeting you all!" I smiled at everyone. I started to feel a little dizzy when Edward smiled his gorgeous smile back.

"I'll see you in the morning, Bella," He said in his magnificent voice.

"We'll be there first thing!" Alice told me as she hugged me once more. "Do you want me to come over early and help you pick out an outfit?"

"That's okay," I laughed. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"They're such nice kids," Charlie said again as we left.

"Yeah," I said absent-mindedly, I was too busy thinking about those beautiful green eyes and that perfect bronze hair.

I woke up the next day and instantly remembered I'd be seeing Edward in 45 minutes. I got up and brushed my teeth and did all the regular bathroom necessities. I walked to my closet and couldn't decide what to wear. I had all these ridiculous v-neck and low cut shirts Renee insisted on buying me but I just chose a plain, semi-tight fitting, blue t-shirt and my favorite pair of jeans and black cons. I went down to the kitchen and found Charlie was already gone. I ate a granola bar and waited patiently with my jacket in hand for Edward and Alice to arrive. A shiny, silver Volvo pulled up and I assumed that was them. I got up to throw away my garbage and when I grabbed my book bag the doorbell rang. I opened it expecting Alice to find Edward standing there, looking stunning.

"Good morning, Bella," His voice was even better than I remembered.

"Good morning, Edward," I replied kind of shyly, "I'm sorry if you were out here long before you rung."

"Don't even worry about it. That color blue looks lovely on you," He complimented.

"Thank you," I blushed. He just smiled as he opened the door behind the driver's side for me.

"Good morning Bella!" Alice chirped before Edward could even shut the door. I could see him chuckling as he got in.

"Good morning Alice."

"Okay, so I want to tell you who everyone is so you'll know when you come and sit with us at lunch. My boyfriend is Jasper. Rosalie is his twin sister. She is Emmett's girlfriend. Emmett is Edward's best friend. Do you have all that?" Alice asked.

"Yeah, I think," I was relieved that it seemed Edward was single.

"Jasper is the blond, and Rosalie is too-"

"Alice," Edward cut her off, "You don't have to describe them. I'm sure they'll introduce themselves."

By then we were there.

"Jasper!" Alice screamed as Edward opened my door for me. "Edward, show Bella where her classes are!"

"She hasn't seen him for two days, that's like an eternity for them," Edward explained Alice's eagerness as she jumped into his arms.

"Shall we?" He held out his arm for me to take. As I slipped my arm into his, I felt that shock again. Did he feel it too? He had to. We started walking towards what I assumed to be the office. It was going to be a long day.
