Chapter 1
The Beginning
Isabella's Point Of View
My name is Isabella Marie Swan and I'm 17 years old. I live in the small town of Forks, Washington and I have lived here my whole life. My mother, Renee, was a stay at home mom until I turned five. She then became a clothing designer. My father, Charlie, is the Chief of Police. I was best friends with Jessica Stanley, Lauren Mallory, and Angela Weber. We grew up together.
"Isa, come one." Jessica's voice traveled up the stairs and into my huge bedroom while taking me out of my trance.
"Yes, Izzy. We want to go shopping." Angela had said. I sighed and walked down the wooden steps. My heels click-clacked against the brown, wooden floor. I looked down. Jessica had picked my clothes out. She, of course, used my mother's clothing line.
"I don't want to wear the skirt. Plus, we're going shopping after school." I replied with my bored voice on.
"So…I heard we are having new students. Edward Masen. His dad is a doctor. His mom is a house designer." Lauren had said. She was always the one who snooped in the gossip.
I shrugged my shoulder and we headed to our cars. I had a blue Jaguar. I was the only one in town that had a nice car. The girls headed to their own cars. We drove to school with myself in the lead. Our spots were not filled so we parked there.
A gray Volvo parked next to me. I smirked and climbed out the car. The owner of the car was handsome when I saw his face. He turned and smirked at me while 3 other people climbed out. There was 2 blondes, a muscle man, and a pixie-like girl. I walked to my locker while I saw them walking to the office. Jessica's fingers were snapping in front of my face.
"Isa, you keep going in a distant world." Jessica had said.
"Sorry, Jess. I was just thinking about the new kid." I said. She smiled.
"Hot right?" I nodded in agreement when I heard a locker open to the right of me. That locker wasn't occupied after Tyler had left. He was a guy who had a huge crush on me. "Anyway, I heard those girls were trying out for cheerleading." She said. I sighed.
"Jess, don't start, please." I grumbled. "I've held captain since I was 15 years old. We are going to be fine." I said.
"Well, there is a dance coming up. Just to celebrate fall. You have a date?" She asked me.
I clenched my teeth while I remembered that. I shook my flowing, brown hair. Jess looked in my brown eyes and smiled.
"We're going to find you one." She said. I turned and closed my locker door to see the new kid standing next to it. I blushed slightly knowing that he heard our conversation. Jess walked off smiling and giggling. Ugh! She was going to set me up on another date. I turned to the new kid.
"Hi, I'm Isabella Swan. My friends call me Isa or Izzy. What's your name?" I had asked nicely. The boy turned to me and I saw his emerald green eyes.
"I'm Edward Masen." He said. Edward's voice was velvety. I nodded my head.
"I'm sorry for being rude to you earlier when I was talking to my friend. You have the same locker as this boy who had a huge crush on me." I said trying to change the subject.
"Wow. Well, do you know where Mr. Banner's class is? I have to get to homeroom." He said. I smiled.
"I hope you don't mind me asking. May I look at your class schedule?" I asked. He nodded his head and handed me his schedule. I looked at his messy bronze hair as his hand ran through it. I wish I could do that. Snap out of it, Izzy. He is a new student. Don't start thinking like that. I told myself. Edward had all the same classes as me. All the empty seats were next to me. Wow. Was this fate?
"So?" He asked getting impatient. His voice brought me mind from my thoughts.
"You have the same classes as me." I said putting my hair down to hide my tomato red cheeks. I felt shocks run through me as Edward's hands scooted my hair behind my ear. I sighed in contentment and grabbed his hand. I was about to let go when he interlocked our fingers. It was like electric shocks were sent through me where our skin connected. Did he feel that, too?
Edward's Point Of View
Alice came in my room and jumped on my bed. This was her way of waking me up.
"Come on, Eddie. We have to get to school." She said in a outside voice. I opened my eyes and sat up. Alice had clothing ready for me at the end of my bed.
Mary-Alice Brandon Masen was my annoying twin. She always had messed with me. I was older than Alice by 30 seconds. My mother, Elizabeth, and my father, Edward Senior, couldn't decide on Mary or Alice so they named her both.
"Get out, Ali." I said. She climbed off my bed and ran out the room. I changed into my clothes and walked down the stairs after finishing the regular morning routine. I grabbed a breakfast bar and climbed in my car with Alice, Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper.
Emmett McCarty was my best friend and he was dating Rosalie Hale. Rosalie Hale was a blond girl who thought she was the queen. But, she was still my friend and she never put up with anyone's crap. Alice was dating Jasper Whitlock. Jasper was my other best friend. He was a lanky blond who always knew had to make you feel any emotion. We rode in my gray Volvo, Pearl.
I parked next to a blue Jaguar and the most beautiful girl in the world stepped out. She turned as soon as she saw me and smiled. I climbed out and smirked at her.
Her brown hair flowed down to mid-back. She had curves in all the right places and was wearing an amazing outfit. She had a white skirt that ended mid-thigh with a black button-up shirt. She had on heels that were about 4-5 inches high. As she walked, her hips swayed slightly.
"Now, that girl has style. Is she wearing Renee? Oh my god! That is the new clothing line, Hot Summer. Those haven't even came out yet." Alice said as we walked to the main office. Alice went in and got our schedules still gawking over my girl's style. Wait, my? I must've had a mistake. I walked over to my locker to hear the girl talking with another girl.
"Isa, you keep going in a distant world." A girl with brown hair but was a little shorter than the first had said.
"Sorry, Jess. I was just thinking about the new kid." That girl, Isa, said. The other one, Jess, smiled.
"Hot right?" Isa nodded in agreement when I opened the locker on the right to her. "Anyway, I heard those girls were trying out for cheerleading." She said. Isa sighed. What was wrong with Ali and Rose to try out? I put my books in and took my time grabbing my things.
"Jess, don't start, please." Isa grumbled. "I've held captain since I was 15 years old. We are going to be fine." So, she cheerleads? I guess it is a good thing I play football.
"Well, there is a dance coming up. Just to celebrate fall. You have a date?" Jess asked Isa.
I could her teeth clenching together. Brown, wavy hair flowed to a fro in my path.
"We're going to find you one." Jess said. I heard a locker door close and I watched as one of the girls ran off giggling. The goddess in front of me blushed slightly. I guess she knew I was listening.
"Hi, I'm Isabella Swan. My friends call me Isa or Izzy. What's your name?" Isabella had asked nicely. I turned and looked into those milk chocolate, brown eyes that belonged to her
"I'm Edward Masen." I said.
"I'm sorry for being rude to you earlier when I was talking to my friend. You have the same locker as this boy who had a huge crush on me." Isabella said trying to change the subject.
"Wow. Well, do you know where Mr. Banner's class is? I have to get to homeroom." I questioned going along with that.
"I hope you don't mind me asking. May I look at your class schedule?" She asked. I nodded my head and handed her my schedule.
"So?" I asked sounding impatient. Isabella jumped slightly.
"You have the same classes as me." She said putting my hair down to hide her face. I felt shocks run through me as my hands reached out and scooted her hair behind her ear. Her face was completely blushed with red. Isabella sighed in contentment and grabbed my hand. She was about to let go but I didn't want her to. I didn't want to let go so quickly I interlocked our fingers making sure she couldn't. It was like electric shocks were sent through me where our skin connected. Did she feel that, too?
