Bella POV

My name is Isabella Marie Swan, but call me Bella for short. I don't like Isabella. I'm seventeen years of age and I'm a brand- spankin' new resident of Forks, Washington. Since my thirteenth birthday, I've always had these two best friends- Alice Brandon and Rosalie Hale. They've been with me through everything, including my mom, Renee, passing away. They are currently residing in Forks and I'm excited to reunite with them again. Now, I'm living with my father, Charlie, who's a small-minded chief of police. Oh, and he owns a gun, don't mess with him. I start my senior year at Eastland Academy tomorrow, and I'm kinda nervous to be honest with you. See, I wouldn't describe myself as beautiful, gorgeous, or even pretty, but I wouldn't call myself ugly. I'm just a plain jane. I've only had one serious boyfriend in my life, and his name was Jacob. We dated for a year and a half then called it off when I caught him cheating on me. I was always kinda shy and meeting new people wasn't exactly one of my favorite things. Neither is walking. See, I'm kind of accident- prone. I trip over invisible things, and if that doesn't happen, then I tend to walk into things, like walls. I've been to my old hospital so many times, they knew me by name. Stupid huh? Well that's me. Isabella Swan.

Edward POV

I'm Edward Cullen. Don't call me Cullen, Eddie, or Ed; I'll bite your head off. Don't believe me? It's been done before, it's easy. I'm just kidding; I'm not that vicious, at least not usually. Anyway, I'm seventeen years old and back for another boring and pointless of Eastland Academy. But this year I'm gonna be a senior so it shouldn't suck as much, hopefully. I predicting most of the same things, Lauren trying to get me to ask her out by being repulsively flirty, all my female teachers ogling over me subtly yet thinking I'm clueless, and all my male teachers hating me, the football coach working me until I'm literally bleeding and my best friends, Emmett McCarty and Jasper Hale, urging me to get drunk for the first time in my life. I want something different this year. Maybe someone different perhaps? I've given up on dating for now, mainly because all of the girls here just want me because I'm the football captain. Dating cheerleaders isn't my thing. I have this addiction to music and I play the piano. My friends think It's pretty wimpy, but I don't care for their opinions. I listen to so much music, that my room is covered in CDs. My mother, Esme, isn't too happy that no one can see her artwork she painted on my walls. No, I'm not exaggerating. I'm not what everyone builds me up to be, really. I'm just Edward Cullen.
