Chapter 1
Edwards point of view.
My name is Edward. I live in Forks where nothing ever happens. That's why I and my family chose to live here. I am a vampire. I have two brothers: Jasper and Emmet. Rosalie and Alice aren't really family because they are both dating my brothers. We consider ourselves related though, because they spend almost every second at our house. Most of the time they just sleepover too, that is when I start hearing the banging of bed posts against the walls. I try to ignore it but it just makes me think about why they have girlfriends and I don't. Because I think I'm a pretty good looking guy. At least that's what all the girls at Forks High School say. Normally I would give them a chance but lately I just am not in the mood for a girl that only likes me for my looks. I want someone who can see the real me and not the man I pretend to be.
I sit down at the usual table with Jasper, Emmet, Rosalie, and Alice. When suddenly this girl walks into the lunchroom. It's like one of those movie scenes where the girl walks in slowly and the lights dim on her. Then she looks at you, winks, and flips her hair while walking to a different table. When I finally get back to the present I find myself walking towards her wondering if I should say hi. She looks like one of those popular girls that only talk to football players.
When I got to her table my mouth went dry, I couldn't speak at all. So I went back to my table with my head in my hands. I couldn't think of why this was happening to me. I have never gotten nervous around a girl my entire life. Normally I just say hey and they ask me out. I can see that this girl is going to be different from all the other girls.
What is wrong with you Edward? When have you ever gotten nervous around a girl?? Put yourself together man and ask that girl to a movie! Of course I could already tell who was thinking this. Emmet was always the football type so he could ask a girl out in 5 minutes. I really hated reading minds. I just wish I could control it so I wouldn't have to hear what Jasper says about Alice in his head. Seriously although they are dating he doesn't have to think about her fat ass breasts every second.
I kicked Jasper in the knee for thinking about that again. He looked at me with a question mark on his face. Then he finally understood, obviously he wasn't the one with the brains of the group. That was normally Alice. Since they are complete opposites I don't know what she sees in him. I obviously know what he sees in her.
A second later the beautiful girl comes over and drops this little piece of paper in front of me and says "Friday night… movies… pick me up at 8" then she just leaves with her friends giggling. So I turn the paper over and see that it's her address and her cell number. I start grinning and run to catch up with her.
