"Mother I have to go to the market I have to pick up some coco for the brownies." I told my mother we were making brownies for a bake sale for my mothers club. We weren't really out of coca but I really just needed to get out of the house for a brake. "Okay sweetie do you need me to go with you?" "No its fine I will be right back"

My name is Isabella Marie Swan Im sixteen years old going on seventeen in a week in this year of 1918. I have brown curly hair and chocolate brown eyes. I'm a natural born klutz and am ordinary and plain in every way. I've grown to accept this.

My mother Reene and father Charlie Swan the town's police chief live in Chicago, IL. We have lived here since I was born and surprisingly enough I've never really made very many friends but you know what I was okay with it because I would much rather snuggle up with a good book.

As I was walking I wasn't paying attention to were I was going and ran into someone. Of course me and my clumsiness would not prevail at this moment; I feel at my rear "Oh my goodness I'm so sorry mam are you alright" I heard this voice say this beautiful voice. I looked up to see who the voice belonged to and was temporally stunned he was gorgeous.

He was tall with the most beautiful shade of green eyes I had ever seen with a color hair that I couldn't place maybe bronze or a dark caramel that went out in all directions. Moving away from his face I looked at the rest of him and he was wearing a pair of dark dress pants a white top and a coat. I was stunned into silence.

I think I temporarily lost consciences cause I didn't even notice anyone talking until I felt him. He was trying to help my up so I finally sat up and brushed my self of. "Miss I'm so sorry I wasn't paying any attention" "it's fine really it is I wasn't paying any attention either." "Im Edward, Edward Cullen" "Isabella Swan but I prefere to be called Bella" "Bella"he held out his hand for me to shake I took it and I swear as god as my witness a felt a jolt of electricity go through my veins from that one touch. I quickly let go feeling a little embaressed but he shoked me by his next question "did...did you feel that" I must have looked crazy with my mouth a ajar but quickly shut it and answered "Yah I did" I blushed and looked down at my feet "Im sorry I have to go" "Wait I can escort you were are you going" "um the market" "great im heading there too" I thought he seemed a little enthusiastic but I dismeissed that as just him feeling guilty for knocking me over. There was a nagging voice in the back of telling me to accept his offer even though I hardly knew this man but a an even stronger feeling was pushing me to say yes. "um sure thankyou very much" he held out his arm for me to take and I looped my arm through his.

"so bella tell what brings you to the market today?" "well honestly I told my mother it was just to pick up an ingredient for desert but really I just needed to get away from the house." I didn't know why I was telling him this but I just felt like I could be so open with him. "what about you?" "well my mother as well sent me into town to pick up an ingredient for dinner too." I giggled a little at the irony. "so bella will you tell me a little about yourself?" "only if you tell me about yourself too" "we'll how about we play twenty questins" "okay but you go first"

"okay how old are you" "im sixteen years old going on seventeen on Tuesday next week how about you?" "we'll happy early birthday and im seventeen going on eighteen in june." "happy extra early birthday" "thankyou"

"okay whats your favorite color?" "brown'' "brown?'' there was deep skeptism in my voice "sure brown is a very warm color and a natural pretty color how about you?" he looked directly into my eyes when he said this and it made me blush. "well until recently it used to be purple but now I think I would have to say green"were was this courage coming from.

We continued like that until we reached the market and he walked me into the store that I had to go into and I went with him to his. When it was time to leave he offered to walk me home and of course I accepted.

As we were walking home I began to feel a pang of sadness at the thought that this could be the end before it even began. Maybe he would never want to see me again mayb-" bella"he interrupted my thinking briefly "yes Edward" " Bella I had a really great time with you today and I was wondering if maybe you would like to spend the day with me of course you don't have to if you don't want to I mean i-" I stopped his babbling quickly by putting my fingers over his lips and told him to shhh "I also had a very nice time with you today and I would love to spend the day with you but I need a little insight of where we would be going."

His face lit up with excitement and for a moment I was kind of worried about what I had gotten myself into "it's a surprise but I promise that you will be very safe with me and I will be nothing but the perfect gentlemen" I was still a little hesitant but the I just couldn't turn him down after looking at the hope in his eyes " great I'll pick you up here tomorrow at noon how does that sound" "great" "okay I have to go need to get home but I will see you tomorrow" he picked up my hand and brought it to his lips, I was blushing profusely now "I really had wonderful time today bella and I will see you tomorrow." He handed me my shopping bag with the coco in it and took a step away and he looked almost hesitant as if he was afraid something bad would happen if he left. I would know because I was feeling the exact same thing. "goodbye bella I will see you tomorrow" "goodbye Edward" and with that I walked inside my door and shut it without looking back afraid it would take that much longer to really leave for either of us. But once the door was shut I ran to the window and peeked to see if he was gone yet. When I saw him he was smiling so wide I was afraid his face would get stuck like that and then finnaly he started to walk away.

Once he was completely out of sight I walked into the kitchen to give the coco to my mother. She was there and then just at the sight of here my mind started racing. I still had to get permission to spend the day with Edward. I started to panic until mother spoke.

"so bella I saw you were walking with someone home care to explain" obvuisly there would be no beating around the bush oh well might as well just get it over with. As I began to get into the story of how we meet and he walked me to the market and so on I could see a grin appearing on her face like a cheshire cat. "so basically before he left he asked if I could spend the day with him tomorrow and you see the thing is I really want to go mom so please what do you say." I took a deep breath it felt like I hadn't taken a breath since I walked throught the door and now I was currently holding mine awaiting her answer.

"well bella I don't know if I want you going with some strange boy who you only just met but I guess its okay but I want to meet him first okay"I couldn't belive it she had said yes I felt like I could sing "of course thankyou so much mother thankyou"

as I started to head upstairs to my room as my room I started to think about Edward and our day together. I know its way to early to think about this but I feel like maybe I might have found my soul mate. I mean it all just feels so right. I cant wait for tomorrow.
