Forks, Washington. Most people want to avoid the rain, the excessive amount of green, the colder temperatures, and the lack of sun. But these are what make the town so great to me.

I've been living with my father, Charlie, for about 5 months in Forks. My 17th birthday had just passed, and surprisingly, Charlie got me my own car. I honestly didn't think he would, because I have been ignoring him ever since he walked out on me and my mom. He got me a brand new, midnight black Porsche.

When I pulled up to school on the first day of my junior year, I instantly noticed him. As I gawked at him, I couldn't fully remember, but the name Edward Cullen was sticking out in my head.. I knew who he was from sophomore year, but I never really noticed him before. Maybe it was the light on him? Or maybe I'm just opening my eyes for the first time…

He had a slender body form, but he was also very muscular. As my eyes rose up to his face, I was even more shocked. His pale, fair skin complexion accented his golden, topaz eyes. His hair, a shade of brown that looked plain on me, but extenuated his features that much more, was chaotic and wild looking. But someone this beautiful could definitely pull off hair like that.

"Bells? Earth to Bella….ISABELLA SWAN!" The screaming snapped me back to reality. I turned, annoyed, to see Jessica Stanley standing there, screaming my name in an attempt to try to get my attention.

"Geez, Jess, you don't have to yell." I told her in a slightly annoyed tone.

"I wanted to snap you out of your trance before Cullen noticed. Oh crap, he did notice…. He's on his way over here now." I turned my head around reluctantly and saw that he was on his way over here.

Oh, crap. Oh, crap. Oh, crap. Oh, crap. Oh, crap. "Jess look what you've done!" I hissed at her.

"Good morning Jessica, Bella. Bella, I need to talk to you in chemistry class later today so would you care to join me at my lab table?" I hear the most velvet voice say. I could merely nod my head. "That's great. And my siblings and I," he pointed to the group of people he was standing with, "would like you go join us for lunch, if that's okay with you." Again, I could only nod. Not only was I entranced by his beauty, but by his siblings' as well.

To the far left, there was a small, petite girl with short, black hair and the same golden eyes as Edward. She also had extremely pale, almost abnormal white skin, just like Edward as well. Her size and gracefulness when she walked reminded me of a pixie or a fairy. I remember being told that this Alice, the sibling Edward was closest to. The other Cullen of the group, the most intimidating, Emmett, was leaning casually against his brother's silver Volvo. He was much taller than Edward and more muscular too. He has dark, curly hair and, like his brother and sister, he has the same beautiful pale skin and topaz eyes. Both Alice and Emmett looked like they were trying to listen to the conversation, although they were at least 20 feet away.

"Great, we'll see you at lunch." He walked away with the most graceful movements; I couldn't help but stare at him as he walked away…

Jess had to shake me to break the trance again.

"I can't believe that he asked you to sit with him in Chemistry. Every girl would want…" I ignored her babbling, pretending to listen.

It's the first day of the school year… how could he know that I'm in his chemistry class if we haven't even had it yet…?
