Chapter One
--- In which cookies are lied about and books are thrown about ---
My Hands slid over the sticky leather of the steering wheel as I pulled into my new apartment . Eger to check out my new home , I swung my legs out of the door and pulled myself out . Too fast . I slammed face first into the gravel drive way . typical . After finally pulling myself up of the painful floor- and brushing the loose rocks from my face -I caught a glimpse of myself in the rearview mirror of my antique truck. I cringed in realization that I really shouldn't have driven through the night . I looked like I had been dragged through a hedge backwards as my mother would say . My deep brown hair was sticking out in several directions and my eyes had dark rings underneath them.
I reached into the cab of " Old Bessie " and grabbed two large cardboard boxes from the passenger seat . Me being my clumsy self failed to realize two boxes was going to be to much for me to carry dropped one on my way to the door . I silently thanked Charlie for taping up the tops of my boxes as it was starting to spot with rain and I didn't really want to be picking up my junk in the pouring rain .
As I stepped into the apartment I was greeted by the smell of freshly baked cookies . I hastily dumped my boxes in the first bedroom I found and sprinted through my new home towards the heavenly scent . Luckily I only tripped once and that was on the edge of a rug so it was technically not my fault .
Sitting on the kitchen table was and a stack of milk chocolate chip cookies on a white plate with a folded note beside them. The note read .
Dear Occupants of apartment 206

I spent the rest of the night unloading my stuff into my bedroom and eating the cookies . I really hopped my room mate was alright about having the other room because I sure as hell was not shifting all of that stuff again . That night I was so tiered that I fell asleep on top of my quilts at 7 pm
______________________
I woke up to the sound of shuffling coming from somewhere outside my bedroom . I quick glance at the clock told me it was gone half two in the morning . Instantly I began to panic that someone was breaking in the apartment.
After a quick feel around in the dark I found something that felt reasonably hard and decided to take it out with me as a weapon . I opened my door inch by inch trying to swallow the fear that threatened to incapacitate me and slipped out into the living area as quietly as possible . The light was on and It momentarily blinded me .
By the time my eyes adjusted to the sudden brightness the intruder had made their way into the same room as me and was standing with their back to me . The person look around my age from behind , he was wearing low cut jeans with a dark grey hoodie pulled up over his head covering his face.
My plan was to creep up on him and knock him round the back of hopefully hard enough to knock him out . Luck wasn't on my side though . I wacked him round the head but not hard enough to knock him over . He quickly spun around to face me . I was met by the most handsome man ever to grace the earth . His not quite red but not quite brown hair had strands flopping down onto his forehead and his forest kissed green eyes look confused .
" Get out of my apartment or I'm phoning the police !" I Managed to croak out .
" I'm not going anywhere ! I live here " His voice was like melted honey and he had me momentarily dazzled .
" Wait your Edward Cullen ?" I felt guilt and embarrassment wash over me as my face heated .
" Yes and I'm assuming you must be Isabella Swan ?" I managed to nod stupidly at him not bothering to corret him.
" I'm so sorry . I didn't hurt you did I ? Crap how can I make it up to you ?" I asked in a panic. Great start Bella Hit your roomate round the head before you even get to say hello . His mouth curved up on one side into a crooked smile that made my heart skip a beat and for my breathing to increase.
" Hurt me ? What with an old copy of Wuthering heights ? I think not . I'm starving my friend text me telling me he got cookies in his apartment . Did we get any cookies ?" I had been so set on knocking him out that I didnt even realise that I was using my favorite book as a wepon.
" No we didn't get any cookies " I lied . He cocked his head to one side and looked at my dubiously .
" Oh Okay . . . I think I have an apple in my bag. I'll have one then go t bed " I nodded quickly
"Good night Edward "
" Good Night Isabella "
What's your favorite type of cookie ?
