Summary: Bella Swan lives with her two sisters in Forks, Washington with their dad, Charlie. Her world is turned upside down when she meets a certain boy who her father defiantly would not approve of. But everyone knows the forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest.

I smoothed out any wrinkles I spotted on my yellow dress. It was simple with spaghetti straps and flowed effortlessly down to my knees.

I was wearing it for the end of school party our school was throwing at the beach a little ways out of town.

Yes, school was finally out. Now all I had was one more year of high school left before my fraternal twin sister, Alice, and I moved to college together. Alice told me and my other sister, Rosalie, that she had a feeling this was going to be a life changing summer. Rosalie had scoffed at Alice and went back to painting her nails. But I had a feeling Alice was right. Just like she had been right about my dress, I thought to myself with a chuckle.

It had been one of the very rare days that Alice was sick. She was mad because we were supposed to go shopping. I, myself, was relieved. Shopping plus Alice equals torture for Bella. Alice, being the shopping addict she is, went online to find outfits. When she found mine I was afraid it wouldn't fit right. I remember Alice saying it would fit perfectly while hitting the order button. And, of course, she was right.

Right now Alice was fixing my hair and make-up for the party. I was perfectly capable of doing it myself but I let Alice have her fun. Not only was she my sister but my best friend. She was the only person in my life I could trust completely.

Rosalie and my relationship was different that mine with Alice. I did love her, she was my sister. But she didn't seem to understand problems Alice and I might have. Everything came easy to her. She was easily the most beautiful girl in the city if not the state. With long, golden hair and eyes the color of a sapphire she was the envy of all. And even thought she could be vain, Rosalie was unbelievably smart. I had never seen her study, but she had never gotten lower than a ninety-five on anything, ever. Then to top of all of that she had her perfect boyfriend, Emmett McCarty. It is crazy how much they were made for each other.

Emmett was very muscular and had dark curly hair. I had to admit that I was intimated by him when we first met. But after talking to him for five minutes it was obvious why Rosalie was head over heels for him. Emmett was one of the friendliest people I know even if his newest hobby is embarrassing me to death. They were lucky to have each other.

I glanced up into the mirror and sighed. Alice was done with my hair and digging through the drawers to locate the make up. It wasn't that I thought of myself as ugly, there just wasn't anything special about me. I had ordinary brown hair and brown eyes. I always felt so plain compared to my sisters. Sure, Alice wasn't the kind of drop dead gorgeous beauty like Rosalie, but her short, black hair and pixie-like feature made her beautiful. I paled in comparison to those two.

I always found it funny how different the three of us were. There was Rosalie; tall, blonde, dark blue eyes, and a body any model would kill for. Then Alice; short, black-haired, pixie-like features, and here eyes were a funny color. Turquoise almost but with gold flecks. And finally me; brown hair, brown eyes, and average height. And pale, very pale. The only thing that set my apart from others was my inability to walk over a smooth surface without coming face to face with the floor.

"All done," Alice said calling me from my thoughts.

"Great. Is Rosalie ready?"

"Yes, I am," Rosalie said strolling into the room, "You two look amazing."

Alice and I both thanked her and complimented her dress. It was a white eyelet dress that reached her mid thigh. I turned to look at Alice's dress. It was bright pink and had pockets on the sides. Very Alice.

"Is Charlie at work?" Alice asked Rosalie.

"What do you think?" Rosalie scoffed.

I rolled my eyes. Of course Charlie was working. He was always working. Charlie was our dad. He was a CEO but I wasn't sure what his company did. He never bothered to tell us. Charlie was only around when he couldn't be working. Like Christmas.

The three of us walked out into the hallway.

"Let me get Izzy," Alice said jogging down towards the end of the hall.

Izzy Rose Swan. My niece and Alice's daughter. Izzy had just turned four last month. She looked a lot like Alice. Izzy had the same pixie like features and turquoise eyes, but her hair was a lighter shade. Her father had bailed as soon as Alice had told him she was pregnant. Alice hadn't heard from him since and didn't have any idea where he was.

"You look pretty," I heard Izzy say. I looked up to see Alice walking towards us with Izzy on her hip.

"Thank you Izzy," I said to her, "Are you happy you get to see Seth?"

"Very, very Auntie Bella," Izzy said.

"Him and Uncle Jacob are downstairs," I told her. She took off running.

Technically Jacob wasn't her uncle. He was Rosalie, Alice, and my cousin. But Izzy called him uncle. It was almost humorous that Izzy's aunts and 'uncles' were all teenagers and her grandparents weren't even forty. I mean her great-grandparents were only sixty-five.

We walked down the stairs to see Jacob, Seth, and Izzy. Seth was only fourteen but he was good friends with Jacob. He was a good babysitter for Izzy.

"Thanks for watching her Seth," Alice said to him.

"No big deal," He said.

"Okay let's go," Rosalie said impatiently.

Jacob was coming to the party with us since he was only a year younger. The four of us went into the large garage in the back of the house. I smiled at the three shiny cars parked in their spaces. Rosalie's red BMW, Alice's yellow Porsche, and finally my black Mercedes.

"Driving!" Rosalie shouted. She hustled over to her convertible.

"Shotgun!" Alice yelled as she danced to the passenger door.

I slid into the back seat next to Jacob and we sped of to the party.

It wasn't a very long ride and we were soon parking next to a multitude of cars. We made our way down to the sand where sticks were set up for the bonfire later. Food was placed near the fire and someone was playing music. People were scattered in groups and a couple people were playing with a frisbee. It was hard since the beach was rocky but somehow they managed.

Rosalie left us as soon as she spotted Emmett and Jacob went to find some of his friends. Alice and I went to sit down on the logs that were scattered around the fire pit.

Alice was telling me about some new fashion show when someone called her name. Her head shot up immediately but she looked down again and hissed something under her breath.

I looked over to see it was her boyfriend Greg Bradley. Alice did not like Greg. In fact she had broken up with him many times before. Greg didn't like Izzy. He treated her more like a pet or something than a four-year- old chile. Charlie was the one who was a fan of Greg. Well, more of the Bradley family than Greg himself. So every time Alice broke up with Greg, Greg would tell his parents, who would tell Charlie, who would pressure Alice into getting back together. I felt bad for her about the situation but I really thought she should stand up to Charlie.

"Hey Alice," Greg had reached us, "Bella."

I gave him a quick wave. Alice reluctantly got up and left with him. I was alone now. I pulled out my worn copy of Wuthering Heights. I started reading and I became separated from the people around me. That is until I heard someone yell, "Watch out!"

I looked up just in time to see a red frisbee headed straight towards my head. It smacked me square in the forehead and landed at my feet. I blinked once then touched the spot it had hit.

"Ouch," I muttered.

"Sorry Bella." I looked up to see who had hit me.

I saw a very tall boy with blonde hair and bright blue eyes headed towards me. It was Jasper Hale.

"It's okay Jasper," I said picking up the frisbee to hand to him.

"Thanks," Jasper said after taking it. He stood there, shuffling on his feet and biting his lip for a moment. "Uh. Is Alice here," He asked softly.

"Yes but she's with-" I started.

"Oh. Yeah. Okay bye," Jasper said running off in the direction he came from.

I sighed. Poor Jasper, I thought. I was the only person who knew about Jasper and Alice. Alice and Jasper, well, they were in love with each other. They had met right after Alice broke up with Greg for the first time. Jasper and Alice started going out before my dad forced Alice to get back together with Greg. Alice tried to tell Charlie but he wouldn't listen to her.

I was disappointed with Alice to say the least when she told me she was still with Jasper. But after I saw them together - saw the love they shared - I knew why she had stayed with him.

I put away my book and decided to find a safer location to sit. Unfortunately, a plastic bubble would probably still be dangerous to me. I didn't have the best luck.

I walked a little down the beach until I found a fallen tree to sit on. I plopped down and pulled out my book. I began reading again. I hardly noticed someone had sat down next to me until they spoke.

"It's beautiful," A male voice said.

I sat my book down realizing the sun was already setting. The sky was a multitude of colors; red, pink, purple, and blue.

"I've never seen the sunset on the beach before," I said.

I turned to look at the guy who was sitting next to me. When I did, I believe my heart paused for second.

He was gorgeous. Impossibly so. His face was perfect, all of the features were straight and symmetrical. His hair was the strangest shade I had ever seen. It was reddish-brown, bronze I decided. His eyes were piercing like two emeralds staring at me.

I had not realized I had stopped breathing until I felt dizzy. I let out a much needed breath and continued to stare like an idiot, unable to find the part of my brain that could form words.

"I'm Edward," He said smiling a smile so crooked yet so perfect, I found myself breathless again.

"Bella," I breathed.

Edward's grin stayed on his face as he took in my reaction to him. I finally managed to look away and grabbed my book. I quickly stood up and started to walk back to the bonfire that was being lit.

"Where are you going?" I heard him ask.

I stopped and turned to see he was at his feet, walking to me.

"Back to the bonfire?" It came out as a question. I was so embarrassed at how mindless I had acted before.

"May I come with you," He asked.

I nodded and we walked back to the fire together. I sat down next to him on one of the logs.

"What are you reading?" He asked.

And that started our never ending conversation of the night. We talked for hours about our likes, dislikes, hobbies, favorites, and embarrassing moments. I had never been so open with a person I had just met. I felt like I could tell him everything. Alice was the only person I felt like I could trust this much.

The night grew old and most the people had left. Alice finally came and found me.

"Bella," Alice called out, "Rosalie and Jacob are waiting in the car."

"Okay," I said to her. She nodded and walked towards where we had parked.

"I guess you have to go," Edward said.

I nodded and frowned. I didn't want to go.

"I'll see you around," I promised him.

I got up and started walking towards the car.

"Bella wait!" Edward yelled.

I stopped and spun around. As soon as I did I felt him press his lips to mine. His lips were soft and warm and the second they touched mine, I felt the entire world melt away. There only one word to describe kissing Edward, perfect.

"Wow," I said breathlessly. It was all that ran through my head.

"Yeah," He breathed, "Wow."

"I have to go now, before Alice comes back to get me. She's very impatient," I told him.

"Okay. Goodbye Bella."

I kissed him once more. "Bye."

I turned around and headed towards the car. I met Alice halfway there. She didn't look happy.

"What took you so long?" Alice demanded.

"Sorry." I could feel myself smiling.

"Why are you so happy?" Alice asked, grinning.

"No reason," I said matching her grin.

"Does it have to do with a certain guy you spent all night with?"

I couldn't help but blush. "Maybe."

Alice's eyes lit up. "What's his name," She asked hurriedly.

"Edward," I answered. My smile grew when I said his name.

Alice's smile shrank a bit. "Edward what?" She asked cautiously.

I tried to remember if he mentioned his last name. "I don't know."

"Wait. What color is his hair?"

"How does that have to-"

Alice cut me off. "Just tell me what the color of his hair is."

"It's a bronze-ish color."

Alice started to mutter something quickly, under her breath.

"Alice!" She looked up at me. "What's wrong?"

"Well, I'm not sure about this but I am almost positive that the Edward you met here was Edward Masen."

"Masen?" I gasped

Review and tell me if you think I should continue. I have some good ideas where to take the story but I don't want to waste my time if no one likes it.
