Bella's POV

"Dad, we have to go now!" I yelled in exasperation.

We were moving, again, and I had to pretty much take care of everything, again. Although both my parents were unorganized since the divorce my father has been much worse, even though it was half a decade ago.

"Coming! I just forgot the…hey…where did I put my sunglasses?"

I sighed. Great. I turned my head to look at Charlie. He was a balding man, average height with a stocky figure. He wasn't extremely tall, but he had well muscled shoulders. Charlie was always kind, but both of us didn't like to get too emotional. It was only when he smiled, which didn't happen that often anymore, that I could see the young, handsome side of him.

He and my mother had gotten married right out of high school after Renee had figured out she was pregnant.

I leaned forward to pull his sunglasses off his head and hand them to him. I turned towards the car as his face turned a nice tomato red. That was another thing we had in common. Whenever we got embarrassed, even the slightest bit, we would both turn the color of a ripe cherry. Even my sister, Alice, and brother, Emmett, didn't have that trait (we are triplets).

Alice was a lot shorter than me with darker hair than mine. She got more of Renee in her, so her eyes were blue. When we were kids we used to get into lots of fights with everyone else, so she cut her hair really short so that the boys couldn't pull it. Eventually she let it grow a little longer and spiked it. She loves shopping, make-up, shoes, fashion, and the bass. All three of us were in a band together.

Emmett looked more like Charlie's brother, Ted, than Charlie did. He was taller than both Alice and I, and he was well muscled. He had short brown hair, curlier than Charlie's. He had a hilarious sense of humor and had no temper to speak of. He was always watching out for Alice and I, and he was most of the reason I actually survived my childhood wars. Emmett was a football fan, and loved video games. He and I were always beating each other's high scores on Burnout and Halo. He played the drums and he also came up with the name of our band; which was Classic Beat.

As for me? I'm not very special. I have long brunette hair and boring brown eyes. My skin makes me look half albino, while my blush makes my emotions easy to read. I sing, play the guitar, and also the keyboard. I was the songwriter for our band, and I love music. The only thing I did that brought me a lot of attention was play baseball. And I love it. I had a dream to get onto a professional men's team and be put in the Hall of Fame. I also skateboard better than anybody I knew, although both Alice and Emmett skateboarded too.

I climbed into the Minivan's passenger seat and closed my eyes. I can't wait till be get there. Dad's company said that we weren't going to move anymore. They signed a contract that said they wouldn't move us until after graduation.

I heard the door slide open and I glanced into the back seat. Alice was designing clothes on her computer, while Emmett was watching a football game on his laptop. I smiled as I looked at them.

Alice was one of the few girls I talked to. Since I played baseball on the boy's team, the other girls thought I was a disease. They only tolerated me because of my siblings.

I had also never had a boyfriend, though I did have something else. All of the boys I knew though of me as a buddy, not a girl.

"Don't worry, Bella. I know that we'll make friends in Forks. I have a feeling that life is about to get a lot more interesting." I loved Alice; she always knew who to make me feel better. And she had this uncanny way of knowing things.

"Thanks, Al." She nodded and pulled her head-phones back on.

"YES! TOUCHDOWN!" screamed Emmett. Alice and I traded looks and then burst out laughing. Whatever happens, I'll always have them. I think.

******************************************************

"WELCOME TO FORKS, WASHINGTON!" said the sign. As if anyone would come here if they didn't know about it. It's a tiny town in the middle of nowhere.

"Yay! Hey Bella, will you go shopping with me once we get there and unpack? I want to see what type of clothes they have, and shoes, and I need another purse, and…" Alice rambled on. She could talk for hours about shopping without realizing that no one was interested. I couldn't wait until she got another girl friend to go drag to the mall every other day; I hated playing "Bella Barbie" as Emmett calls it.

As we drove through the little town, I saw the high school. It had a nice baseball field. I could see Emmett eyeing the football field, and knew that he would immediately get on the team when he tried out. He had checked online before we got here, (I was surprised they had a website) and tryouts for football and baseball were next week.

The very green scenery flashed before my eyes, and I remembered the last time I had been somewhere similar to this. I was jolted out of my thoughts by a sight that made my whole day better.

"Hey, look! A skate park! Hey dad, can we go there now? We'll be back in time for dinner!" I loved skateboarding almost as much as baseball and music.

"Well…I guess. Just be careful." Charlie was really easygoing for a dad.

As he pulled over, I jumped out and raced to the back of the car. I had put my baseball gear and my skateboard gear on top so that I wouldn't have to dig for it later. I grabbed my awesome board, and Alice and Emmett followed suit. I had hand painted both of their boards, and they both loved them.

I waved as Charlie drove away, and then jumped on my board. I pushed off, speeding towards the edge of the bowl. I started out with a Nose Grab, and then added a Faber Flip. I laughed as Emmett tried to do the same thing and ended up on his butt.

I helped him up, and then I noticed that there were two boys near the ramp. One was staring at me. He had messy bronze hair, and he was a little bit shorter than Emmett although he didn't have Emmett's muscles. I wondered why he was staring, and then headed over in his direction.

I glanced at Alice, who had gone over to talk to the other guy. He was staring at her in much the same way that the bronze haired one was staring at me. This one was only a little taller than me, but still seemed way taller than Alice. He had blonde hair; a little longer than the other boy's. He was good looking, and so was the guy before me.

The blonde guy started talking to Alice just as I reached the dude staring at me. I flipped my board up, grabbed it, and hoisted it over my shoulder.

"Hey, I'm Bella. What's your name?" I said, smiling.

His emerald green eyes glazed over. I had seen that look before on guys Alice had talked to; the guy liked my looks. I had probably just given him a heart attack or something.

"I-I'm Edward. Edward…um…Cullen."

Wow, how slow can you be? Did he "like" me so much that he forgot his own name? I decided that I wouldn't like this guy much.

Well, at least I won't be bored here in Forks. Guess Alice was right.

"Do you go to Forks High School? I'm starting tomorrow, even though it's Wednesday." He nodded, still not talking.

"Hey, do you know anything about the baseball team?" I switched subjects fast, trying to get him to stop staring at me.

That seemed to snap him out of it. "Yeah. Why, does your brother play? I'm on the team as the pitcher. You should tell him to come to tryouts, they are next week."

Okay, now I really didn't like him. He didn't even think once that maybe I was the one who wanted to try out! I was about to set him straight when a light-bulb went up in my head. I could have fun with this.

"Sure, I'll tell him." I pretended to look at my watch. "Whoops, I gotta go now, catch you later!"

I then sped off to grab Emmett's arm. "Hey Em!" I whispered desperately. "We gotta go, now!"

"Huh? Oh-oh yeah. Hey, sorry Jasper but we got to go. Call me, dude!"

And with that, he single-handedly picked up Alice. I grabbed her board, and we began to leave.

I saw Jasper look at us with a strange expression on his face before we sped off towards our new home.
