BELLA POV

I remember the exact date when I met him. It was 5:34 in the afternoon. I remember it because that was the end of life as I knew it. It was one of those lazy Sundays. I was at work trying to clean the front desk from all the clutter it had. Rain was falling outside in a small drizzle and some people were out and about. The only customers we had in the music store today, was a kid around the age of 12. I was keeping an eye out for this boy. His back was turned to me and he thought that meant that he could get away with stealing a C.D. He started to sneak it into his jacket. Without even looking up I said, "Are you going to pay for that?" He quickly put it back and ran out of the store without looking back once.

I'm a vampire, not the kind that can only come out at night and turns into a bat. That is all movie magic. I'm the real kind but I only drink from animals don't worry. Not many of us do this but my family does. I have been alive for a little over a hundred years. I don't remember much about my life before I was changed. I don't have any kind of fangs and my skin is hard as granite, pale, and cold. I can run at great speeds and can crush just about anything. All vampires are completely and inhumanly beautiful. Most people think that this would be reason enough to become one of the undead, but it's not all its cracked up to be. Eventually you come to terms with what you are but sometimes that's not enough. Sometimes you hate what you have become that you end up trying to kill yourself. There is only one thing that will kill a vampire. But that's for some other time. Anyways back to the story.

I was sitting there trying to figure out what I was going to do till tomorrow morning and then he came in. He was the most gorgeous human I had ever seen. His green eyes were hypnotizing and his bronze hair had that just out of bed look. He had a skate in one hand. He wore a sense's fail t-shirt and dark blue jeans. He smiled at me and walked over to the rock section. He had the most delicious smell. It took almost all my strength to not jump his bones and I mean literally. With every step he took his mouth watering scent hit me like a ton of bricks. I was gnawing at my lip trying to get control of myself. He picked a C.D. and walked towards the cash register. I stopped breathing and forced a smile on my face. My mind was calculating different scenarios on how I would kill this human. I rung up his purchase and told him how much he owed. He starred at me with his eyes all big. He looked like a little kid opening the best present on Christmas morning. He blinked and took a deep breath clearly dazzled. He handed me the money and left not even bothering to take the change, not that it was much just a couple of pennies.

I saw him walk outside and slap himself on the forehead. I had to laugh and he turned and looked at me. Now that he was outside the store and his scent wasn't so thick in the air I could concentrate. I waved at him and he smiled and put his skate down. I looked down wondering why I had never seen this gorgeous guy around. I didn't understand how some simple human boy had made me have to fight to control my thirst. This had never happened before. Well it had but when I was new born. It hadn't happened in years. What was so special about this human that he could make me have to fight to keep control? I pushed these thoughts away as I got ready to go home.

Everyone was playing outside when I made my way into the driveway. I joined in on the game of baseball and soon forgot all about the mysterious human that had come in to the music store earlier that day. Alice kept looking at me in concern but I didn't pay any attention to this since I was having too much fun.

The next morning I got ready to go to school all thoughts about the human gone completely from my mind. I made my way to school as usual with Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie in my car. As we made our separate ways to our lockers I heard chatter about a new kid. Now this is really a nuisance if you can hear everything a thousand times better than humans. Fork's is a very small place so of course everyone knows everyone's business. I spotted Alice and Japer standing beside their locker and headed in their direction. Maybe they could talk to me about something other than this new addition to the school.

"Hey guys." I said.

"Hey, have you heard about the new kid?" Alice asked with a devilish glint in her eye. I let out a sigh. I thought that maybe my family would not be brain washed and have to talk about the new kid. But oh well, I knew she knew something I didn't or she was up to something but I pushed the thought away. With Alice it was always better to not ask.

"Yeah, haven't seen him yet though. Why is everyone making a big deal anyways?" I asked.

"All the girls are swooning because "he's oh so gorgeous" as so many have put it." Jasper said while rolling his eyes. I laughed and waved bye as I made my way through the crowds. All the unimportant talking of the teenage humans was giving me a headache. A couple seconds after I sat in my seat, in my first period everyone started coming in. The bell rang signaling the start of first period and Mr. Sweeney came in.

"Good morning class." he said. I started playing with my pencil behind my text book. It was twirling in the air as if an invisible string was holding it up. Suddenly a knock at the door interrupted Mr. Sweeney mid sentence. Everyone turned to look at the door as some one came in.
