Hi, my name is Isabella Marie Swan, but you can call me Bella…I am 18 years old, and just moved to Forks, Washington with my dad Charlie. Today is July 18 school will be starting soon..My dad's friend Billy Black will be coming over tomorrow to watch football with my dad..Billy has a son named Jacob, Dad said he'll be bringing him along…I'm so excited, we haven't seen each other since we were kids…My mom's been gone for about 6 months now, it's still hard, but it'll get easier as time passes I suppose. It's now about 6:00 I have a lasagna in the oven I gotta get used to cooking dinner everynight…poor Charlie, without me, he would starve. I'm headed to the shower now then I'm gonna go to my room and read Romeo & Juliet and then go to sleep.
It's now 7:00 a.m. I'm heading downstairs to get myself and Charlie some breakfast started…Charlie is reading the morning paper, and drinking coffee..Dad's been gone about 15 minutes now and this morning I have to catch the bus…grr…I hate that dadgum thing…It's now 8:30 the first bell just started I'm headed to 1st period biology. My teacher's name is Mr. Banner, he looks like a total idiot. I look around the classroom and notice a guy watching me with a look of total amazement…I notice his complextion is kinda pale, and he's got curly blonde hair and the most breathtaking butterscotch eyes you'll ever see. When he noticed me looking at him, he smiled..His smile is bright enough to light up the sky at midnight.
