"Bella you don't need to move to Forks if you don't want to." Said my mom. I had this talk with her a ton of times. My mom just got married to Phil and he travels a lot. Since I live with them, my mom stays behind to keep me company. I decided to move in with my real dad, Charlie, because she gets sad when he has to leave. Now that I'm going to be with Charlie she won't have to be sad or to get left behind.

"Bye Mom. I'll visit soon." I said and walked on to my plane.

My plane landed in Port Angeles. Then I would have an hour drive to get to Forks. Forks is completely different from Phoenix because in Arizona it's really hot and nice out but in Forks I would be lucky to ever see the sun again.

"Hey Bells! You look great!"

"Thanks Dad so do you. I love you."

"I love you too Bella."

When we drove home it was mostly quiet, but we talked a little. I found out that he bought me a truck. Well, I wouldn't really say bought, more like got. An old family friend, Billy, gave it to him. I also was already signed up to attend Forks High School.

After another half hour of pure silence we arrived at my new home. I was thankful that Charlie doesn't like to hover because all that I really wanted to do now was cry myself to sleep. I knew it would be hard to make knew friends here because back at home there was a bigger population of kids my age but I didn't fit in at all.

The rain kept me up most of the night, but around midnight the rain turned into a drizzle and I was able to sleep. When I woke up Charlie had already gone to work. My dad was Police Chief Swan. I knew that in this small town everyone probably already knew my whole name; Isabella Marie Swan. My first few months of school here would be pretty embarrassing.

Time was flying by pretty fast. It was already lunch time. I met a girl, I forgot her name though, and she asked me to eat lunch with her so my day wasn't going to be totally horrible.

When I walked in the cafeteria I saw them for the first time. They were so beautiful, pale, and graceful. I don't know how, but they were graceful even when they were sitting.

"Who are they?" I asked the girl.

"They are the Cullens. They were all adopted. The one with bronze hair is Edward; the small girl seated beside him is Alice. The boy and girl that are both blond are Jasper and Rosalie. The really muscular one is Emmet. Emmet and Rosalie are a couple. So are Jasper and Alice. But don't get your hopes up because Edward is undateable; he doesn't have an interest in girls here." The way she talked about the one named Edward made me wonder when he turned her down.

My next class was biology. I walked in and put my coat on the rack. Everyone had a seat and a partner except for the angel, godlike, beautiful looking bronze haired boy; he sat in the back. When I walked up to the teacher's desk I tripped and a few people laughed, which was expected. My teacher's name is Mr. Banner. "Class this is Miss Isabella Swan," then he looked at me, "Miss Swan you may go sit by Mr. Cullen." I walked over and then turned to pull out my chair when Edward looked up. His smile was so dazzling I didn't know that I stopped breathing until I felt lightheaded. He looked at me like he knew I wasn't breathing and was debating with himself whether or not to tell me to breathe.

"Hello my name is Edward Cullen. I believe your name is Bella."

"H-H-Hi. How do you know my name?" I felt like an idiot currently.

"Oh, I think everyone knows your name." he responded.

"I mean you said Bella."

"Do you like to go by Isabella?" he asked confused.

"No I go by Bella. I just assumed that my dad called me by Isabella behind my back." I babbled.

"Oh" he just let the subject drop.

Mr. Banner began talking about blood cells but I was too lost in thought to pay any attention. It felt like someone was starring at me, which is likely because today was my first day. When I looked up I saw him starring at me again. And as if I wasn't already humiliated enough I just starred back like an imbecile. My heart started to beat extremely fast for it's usual pace. As if he could hear my heart's change in speed, he smiled.

The next morning I woke up early. I nearly scarfed down my cereal. I then ran as fast as I could to my room, grabbed my jacket, and then ran to my truck. I felt really eager to get to school today and I had no idea why, until I thought about it. I was eager to see him. I felt too eager to see him.

The morning went by in a blur. On our way to lunch I remembered the girl's name, Jessica. She sensed that I wasn't paying very much attention to her so she asked, "Bella what are you thinking about? What are you looking for?" I realized that my eyes were scanning the lunch room.

"Um, no one just trying to think of what I should get, and I was seeing what there is by what the other kids are eating." Once again I felt like a complete moron.

Today I only got lemonade. When we were seated I noticed Jessica starring at something. She turned back to me and said, "Bella, Edward Cullen is starring at you." As she said that I looked over to see him starring at me with an expression like he was concentrating really hard and a slightly frustrated look. Usually when you catch someone starring at you they immediately look away; he didn't.

* * *

I walked into biology and sat in my seat as soon as I could. Edward wasn't there yet and since class hadn't started yet I began doodling on my notebook. I acted like I didn't notice that the chair next to mine was no longer vacant.

"Hello Bella how was your evening?" he asked. Before I answered I thought about why he would ask or care about me in any way. "Fine."

I thought today was going to be a good day but then a boy came up to me. "Hello my name is Mike. I'm in a few of your other classes."

"Hello Mike."

"I know that we just met and all but I was wondering if you wanted to go to the Spring Dance that's coming up soon."

"Um, when is it?"

"Next weekend."

"Oh, sorry but next weekend I'm going to be in Seattle." I tried to say that nicely because I'm a terrible liar and I wasn't really planning on going to Seattle. Something occurred to me when Mike asked me this; Edward stiffened in his seat. I wondered if he was jealous but that couldn't be it because I was surprised that anyone would ask me out. Maybe Mike did this because he felt bad for me.

"Class, you're going to work with your lab partner with these microscopes and cell slides. Don't forget to write down your observations." As he said this I felt another stare on my face. Of course like the last time, I was pathetic enough to look up, I did it again; I met his gaze.

Maybe I was right about him being jealous. The proof was there in his eyes. At that moment the only thing that I could do was marvel over his beauty. An angel with their wings still attached would be less noticeable. My favorite color right now would have to be gold because of his beautiful golden eyes.

Unfortunately the bell rang then. "Bella would you like me to walk you to your next class?"

"I don't even want to go to my next class at all but sure."

"If you don't want to go then just follow me to a different part of school." He said in a soothing, irresistible voice.

We ended up going to the office. "Go over there and look sick." He instructed. I did as he said. I could barley hear his conversation with the lady at the front office. Then he came over to me. "Would you like me to carry you Ms. Swan?" I stood up and rolled my eyes.

When we walked out into the school parking lot it was raining. Once we were close to his Volvo I took a step away towards my truck, but as I was in the middle of making my next step he grabbed my hood. "What do you think your doing?"

"Going to my truck so I can go home."

"You are so not even going to think about leaving me Isabella Swan!" The way he said that made me think he was angry and so did his expression; it confused me. "But how am I going to get home?"

"I'm taking you home and to school from now on."

"But I told Jessica that I would go buy dresses with her and her friend Angela in Port Angeles tomorrow after school."

"Fine, but that's the only kind of exception."

"Why do you even want me around so much?"

"That's a very good question."

Out of nowhere he lifted me up and put me in his car. I gasped in shock for two reasons; it was so not expected and he was colder than a freezer. "What the heck do you think your doing Edward?" What a thrill it was to say his name aloud. He smiled but never answered. "Tomorrow can I drive myself at least for the last time?" His smile disappeared, but he nodded.

When I woke up there was ice covering everything outside, so I knew I would have to drive extra careful.

I got to the parking lot and stepped out of the truck. I slowly walked to the side and pulled out my bag when I heard a loud piercing screeching noise. I spun around to first see Edward's horrified expression, then to see Tyler's van skidding across the ice headed right for me. The only thing I had time to do was freeze and close my eyes. That was when it hit me but from an unexpected direction. It threw my body to the ice covered ground and my head smacked even harder into a tire. Suddenly the screeching came to a stop and everything was silent for a few seconds before the screaming started.

"Bella are you hurt?" the magical voice asked.

"I'm fine." I answered automatically. That was when I heard the sirens. They lifted me up and put a neck brace on me.

****

"Edward how did you stop the van? You were nowhere near me." I asked when we were both alone at the hospital.

"Can you keep a secret? Because I don't really have a choice but to tell you." He asked in a beautiful voice.
