Chapter 1: Angelic Beauty
He stared at her from across the table. She was pretty. She was small. Her face was round and babyish. Her hair was long and wavy. Some would have considered it curly. The deep brown of it contrasted starkly with her pale skin. What he noticed the most, though, was her big, brown eyes-angels eyes, he thought to himself.
He wondered why she was sad. He could see it in the eyes he was so drawn to. He made up his mind right then that he would talk to her at recess.
"I'm Jacob but everybody here calls me Jake. What's your name?" he asked even though he knew it was Isabella.
Startled, she looked up into the brown, almost black, eyes. They belonged to a tall, gangly boy with chin length hair. His skin was a color that looked like a permanent tan. She thought that at that moment, while she was looking up at him, with the rays of sun all around him, he was…sort of beautiful.
"My name is Bella. Bella Swan."
"Nice Name. Can I ask you something?"
"Um, sure," she said, slightly confused.
Why was this boy talking to her? All she wanted to do was disappear.
"Why are you sad?" he asked, cocking his head.
She was a little shocked he had noticed. She had tried so hard to make the red on her face go away.
"My mom d-died."
He put his arm around her shoulders. She immediately felt better.
"My mom is gone too. She had cancer for a long time."
By this time they had started to walk around the jungle gym, holding hands. The recess guards saw them and thought it was adorable.
"Do you have any brothers or sisters?" he asked her.
She could answer that question. It wouldn't be so bad to say 'no'.
"No. H-how about you?" she asked, trying to get the focus off herself.
"I have two sisters, Rachel and Rebecca. They're twins and pains in the butt. They're always pickin' at me."
She tried to keep the tears at bay, but one slid down her cheek. She wiped it away quickly but he still saw it. He didn't let on though.
"You know what I like best about school? The jungle gym. You can hang upside down and everything, just like a monkey!" he said, showing her his best imitation.
He scratched his underarms and screeched wildly while swinging around on a bar.
Bella couldn't help but laugh at the sight. She giggled and covered her mouth. Then she started to laugh shamelessly.
He stopped momentarily and listened. It was the most beautiful sound. Like wind chimes almost, no, bells. It sounded like bells.
She had stopped giggling but her eyes were shining. Then he did something stupid. He was so busy staring at her that he didn't notice himself slipping. He fell off the bar he had been hanging on.
"Oof, ouch," he said when he landed on the wood-chipped ground.
"Jacob! Are you alright?"
"I'm okay, Bells." Oops.
"Bells?" she pondered the nickname a minute before saying,"I like it," and smiled, pulling him up to his feet.
They spent little time apart after that. They were best friends. So were their fathers. Charlie and Billy, Jacob's dad, had been long-term fishing partners. No bond between men is stronger than of those who fish together. Anyway, because of this bond, Bella and Jake were in and out of school.
Jake knew the minute that he heard her laugh, that he was very in love with Bella. It was innocent and pure, but a love all the same.
