Hey Guys, I didn't say much on my first chapter but I'd like to thank those who clicked on my story. Its my first one and I'd love some feed back on how I'm doing. Thanks!

Bella POV

"Who are you waving at?" a shrill voice called out from behind me. Jessica.

My dreaded older sister. She's only a year older than me, but that's enough to make her think she's better than me in every way.

She is has a constant group of friend around her and is gorgeous. And I have only two friends who aren't even with me and I'm just plain. Some how she ended up with our mom's blond hair, blue eyes, and tan skin. And I have boring brown eyes and hair and pale skin.

Jessica barged into the room so suddenly that I jumped at the sound of her voice. "What?" I yelped as I whirled around to face her.

"Why are you blushing?" she demanded the moment she saw my face. "I'm not blushing. I'm just…. It's hot in here. What do you want?"

She watched me suspiciously for a moment and then she slowly put the pieces together. "Oh, my gosh!" she shrieked. "You were watching the new guy work out, weren't you?"

She pushed me out of the way to take her own peek out my window. "Did I miss him taking off his shirt?"

Good to know stalking runs in the family.

Jessica sighed in regret, but then she pulled herself away from my window and turned her evil eyes on me. " Well, Well, Well, is little Bella Swan finally crushing on a boy?"

"What? I don't-" I started. "It's nothing to be ashamed of, Bella." Jessica rolled her eyes. "He's totally gorgeous and you're sixteen. I was starting to worry you didn't know what boys are for."

I'd already been embarrassed enough for one day with the whole being caught spying thing. I didn't need Jessica making it worse with some kind of womanhood speech.

"What are you doing in my room anyway?" I yelled. "Your bedroom window has a way better view than mine does." When Jessica saw the frown on my face, she studied me for a moment then sighed.

" I can't believe I'm about to say this but, why don't we go shopping today and get you a skirt and a swimsuit and you can come with me to the lake party tomorrow. That way you'll actually look like a girl for once. Just don't embarrass me 'kay." she prattled on while studying her nails.

"Excuse me?" She has some nerve.

"Listen. I know you miss those loser friends of your, but maybe them being gone is a good thing." I was shocked because she actually sounded sincere. Well, sincere for her anyway. " But only if you promise not to be so… you."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Had she gone mental? Well Hell would freeze over before I agreed to a make-over. I pushed Jessica into the hallway and slammed my bedroom door screaming, "Get out!"

"Freak!" Jessica yelled back through the door. I guess she was mad because I wouldn't let her play Bella Barbie.

Feeling ready to punch something, which is how I feel every time I interact with Jessica, I cranked up the My Chemical Romance and climbed out my bedroom window onto the roof of the garage where I like to go when I need space.

I actually didn't stay out on the roof that long, because Mrs. Cope pulled up in front of my house. "Bella, honey," she called to me through the open passenger window, "If you see Bruno, would you mind hanging on to him until I can come get him? I can't find him."

"He got out?" I couldn't help the surprise in my voice. It's not like Bruno was a little Chihuahua who could sneak threw the cracks in the fence. He's a 75 pound boxer. He'd never hurt a fly, but still not the type of dog you'd want to be cruising the neighborhood alone.

"Bob forgot to shut the gate after he took the trash out this morning." I laughed because it just like Mr. Cope to forget to do something like that. He would forget to get dressed in the morning without Mrs. Cope.

"Want me to go look for him?" Mrs. Cope's eyes lit up at my offer. "Oh would you? Thank you dear."

"No problem. Just let me get my skates and I'll go." She thanked me again and drove away.

Looking for Bruno wasn't going to be all that exciting but it was better than sitting in my room. Plus I could go for a could skate right now.

I went down every path in the neighborhood but didn't see any trace of Bruno. Since Forks is wet and humid around this time of the year I only did one lap and called it quits. I got to my driveway and ripped off my helmet to wipe at the sweat that had gathered around it.

No sooner did I toss the helmet in the grass than I heard the sound of paws thudding towards me. Not only does Bruno love me because I'll smuggle some hotdogs for him at neighborhood barbeques, he seemed particularly excited at the moment because of his current freedom. He came barreling at me at full speed.

"Bruno, no! Stay! Bad dog!" I called when I realized he wasn't going to stop. But it was too late. Bruno jumped up and knocked me right off my skates.

Everything happened so fast. I crashed against my driveway hard, and for a second, things went totally black. When I came to my ears were ringing, my head was throbbing, and I felt like I was going to vomit.

Then, just as I'd suspected would happen, a giant tongue attacked my face. Bruno only got the chance to give me one good lick before he yelped and fell limp beside me.

That's when I looked up to see the new guy staring down at me with the most intense green eyes I'd ever seen. And, get this. He was holding a Taser. " Hi Bella," he said in a velvety smooth voice. "Its nice to meet you."

Well of course I screamed.
