AN: After many months of reading this is my first attempt at Fan Fiction so please be nice. And please let me know if the format is easy to read or not, and if I should even bother to continue posting this.

I logged into my computer and opened up my chat program. In a month I would be moving from my home in Phoenix, AZ to go live with my father in Forks, WA. I had only ever spent a few weeks in the summer at my father's house and didn't really know anyone there. The thought of having to make new friends at the end of my junior year filled me with dread. I was the shy awkward girl that kept to herself. No matter how many boys had tried to pursue me I could never understand what they saw in me. I was much more comfortable behind a monitor talking to someone online.

As I stretched out on my bed I chose tonight to log into a Washington chat room in an attempt to maybe make a friend. I knew the chances were slim because Forks was a small town, but I had nothing better to do on a Friday night.

After an hour of sifting through instant messages from older perverts and horny teenage boys I was about to log out, having lost hope. One last IM window popped up from someone named EmeraldEyesForU, and I instinctively rolled my eyes. Another guy thinking he's god's gift to women. Great!

EE4U: Good Evening.

UngracefulSwan: Hi. How are you?

EE4U: I'm doing ok. Yourself?

UngracefulSwan: The same. Interesting screen name you have.

I knew how to draw the jerks out early. I figured we'd get this over with quickly.

EE4U: Yeah, LOL, you can thank my bear of a brother for that. I think it's a little corny.

UngracefulSwan: Just a little.

Okay so maybe he wasn't a jerk. Well no t a blatant one anyway.

EE4U: So since you commented on mine, what does yours mean?

I felt my face flush red at his question. I bit my lower lip crossing my legs up behind me lying on my stomach contemplating how to approach this topic. I must have been taking too long because the next message I got from Mr. Eyes simply read.

EE4U: ?

UngracefulSwan: I'm here, just trying to figure out the least embarrassing explanation.

I smirked to myself. I stretched my arms up over my head and then pulled my laptop closer to me as I sat in bed. I glanced out the windows for a moment before looking back to my screen.

EE4U: I promise not to judge.

UngracefulSwan: Okay well I'm pretty much a klutz with a capital K.

EE4U: Okay that explains the ungraceful part.

UngracefulSwan: Well my last name is Swan, and most people think that entitles me to automatic grace.

EE4U: LOL

UngracefulSwan: You said you wouldn't judge me.

EE4U: I'm not, just laughing.

As I chuckled at this girl I was talking to I went back and reread our last few exchanges.

EE4U: Our police chief's last name is Swan.

UngracefulSwan: My dad is the Chief of Police in Forks, is that where you live?

EE4U: Yes! You live here? Do I know you?

UngracefulSwan: Not yet. I'm moving there to live with my dad in a month. I don't know anyone.

Hearing the news of her upcoming move I felt for this girl. I remembered what it was like moving here several years ago knowing no one but my family.

EE4U: Well now you will know me. I'm Edward Cullen. Nice to meet you Ms. Swan.
