CHAPTER ONE
Forks. My new home. My old home was with my mom, in Phoenix, Arizona. Renee, that's my mom, well she recently just got remarried, to Phil, he's a nice guy. Phil's a minor league baseball player, he travels a lot. I know my mom misses having him around, so I decided to move to Forks, so she can go on the road with him, I know that makes her happy, plus I get to live with my dad, I haven't seen him for three years.
I don't know why, I just haven't.
Renee and Charlie, that's my dad, well they got married straight out of high school, and had me. Three years later Renee and I left, ever since then I would go and see Charlie during the holidays.
The trip to my new home was pleasant enough, the drive from the airport with Charlie was quiet, you can always count on Charlie to let you have your space. My room look similar to when I last was there; a few photos and childhood handprints on the corkboard, a couple of new items; a lamp, bed linen. Charlie was trying. You could tell.
Slowly I started to remember things I'd forgotten about when living with Charlie, like he can't cook, and he has been only eating food at the local diner. I will probably offer, or more likely insist that I cook at home. Plus maybe this might be a way to get to know my dad. Maybe.

It's Monday and it's my first day at Forks High. It's cloudy outside; it looks like it will rain. Just something else I have to get use to.
Everyone's staring. I was hoping that today might be the day when I could be invisible; I've never been one to enjoy the spotlight, no chance of that.
As I drove in to school, yeah I got a car, well an old red Chevrolet. Charlie surprised me this morning with my "Homecoming present", I was thrilled. I know some people would not be happy with a Chevrolet as a car, let alone a homecoming present, but I don't really care about labels. It gets me from A to B, plus I know Charlie enjoyed giving it to me.
So, when I arrived at school, my exhaust coughed out a big puff of smoke. It was like a flare gun or siren alerting everyone at Forks high that, "the new girl...Isabella Swan is here", everyone was looking. You could hear the students murmurs about the new girl, they would say things like "is that her?" "I can't believe she drove to school in that!" "Ooohh, that girl is fiiine" "she's not that pretty". Ignoring the gossip was the only way I was going to get through today.
As I was making my way to the administrators office, I could feel someone's eyes on me, it was stronger and more intense than the other students, I turned around and looked back to the parking lot, trying to find the person who hadn't stop staring at me, unlike the other student who quickly got bored of looking at me. After five minutes of looking for that person, I was turning to go to the admin office, when I caught the person eyes.
He was leaning by his black car by the side of the school, wearing old distressed jeans, a faded grey t-shirt and holding an old vintage leather jacket. He was gorgeous. He looked like the classic bad boy stereotype, a regular 'James Dean'. The thing that shocked me the most was that when I looked back at him, he smiled. He didn't turn his head away, he just continued to stare and smile at me. I quickly turned away and made my way to the admin office. His eyes stayed with me though, I couldn't get them out of my head. They were so beautiful. So magnetic.
I wouldn't be able to forget those eyes in the near future.

By the time lunch came, things had changed. Well not that much, people at school were still staring and talking about me, not as much as this morning, but still I would rather no one paid that much attention to me. Mike and Jessica were escorting me to the cafeteria; I met them during gym class. Mike, I accidently hit him in the head with a volleyball- I told them not to let me play, they're lucky I didn't send someone to the hospital. I met Jessica while I was talking to Mike, she seemed like an okay girl, but I did get the impression that she was trying to claim her territory, her territory being Mike. Mike of course was oblivious to Jessica's intentions.
When we reached the table, it was already half full with some people I knew and a couple of new faces I hadn't met yet. I was seated next to Jessica and Eric. Jessica beat Mike to the seat next to me, it was a good thing, Mike is a nice guy, but I don't think of him the same way he is thinking of me. I had met Eric this morning when he came up and introduced himself and offered multiple forms of relationships, like; tour guide, study date, shoulder to cry on. He too was nice, but I wasn't interested, it seemed like all the guys at school were looking to get a date out of me, I just wasn't interested.
I met Angela at lunch, shortly after she took a candid picture of me, the flash of the lenses sending shock waves through my system. She was nice, someone I could picture being friends with, and she was understanding and respectful when I said that I didn't want to be the feature in the school paper.
I could feel those eyes on me again. I turned to see where he was, he was sitting a couple of tables away from me, with another guy; and he looked to be puzzled by what his friend was doing. The other guy looked the opposite of his friend; he had dark skin, brown eyes and long black dread locked hair. His friend in comparison had fair skin, blue eyes and long golden blonde hair. When the dark skinned guy looked at me, he turned away and shortly kicked his friend in the shins to get his attention. He then stopped staring at me and turned to his friend.
As I was turning back to my table, I caught sight of a couple of people I was curious about. "Who are they?"
Angela was the first to reply, "They're the Cullen's".
"They're Dr and Mrs Cullen's foster kids, they moved here like a couple of years ago" Jessica said.
"They kind of keep to themselves" Angela's sensitivity shining through with that statement.
Jessica's gossip attitude however was completely different. "Yeah, because they're all together, like together together" Jessica then continue to fill me in on the Cullen's, "The Blonde girl, well that Rosalie and the big Emmett, they're like a thing. And the little one that Alice, she really weird, and the guy next to her, who looks like he's constantly in pain that's Jasper. Dr Cullen is like a Foster Dad/ Matchmaker"
"Well maybe he'll adopt me" Said Angela jokingly.
The next person that came through the door shocked me with their beauty; it was almost excruciatingly painful to look at. "Who's he?"
"Edward Cullen, of course he absolutely gorgeous, but apparently nobody around here is good enough for him. Like I care" Jessica scoffed. I'd stopped paying attention to what they were saying; instead I was staring at Edward.
He was sitting at a table with his family across the other side of the cafeteria. When he noticed that I was staring, he looked back. I couldn't look away, something about him captivated my attention, something about his family captivated my attention. When I focused my attention back on Edward, he looked frustrated or angry I couldn't tell. Was I making him angry? He was looking at me as if I angered him.
Then suddenly he turned away and just ignored me for the rest of lunch.
