How goes it? I didn't update sooner because of all the xmas commotion and all. Some of the content in this chapter was co-written by one of my closest friends, Grimsdaughter13. If you like final fantasy VII, Dragon Ball Z, and Twilight, you should look her up.

Saludos a todo mi gente in en El Salvador!!!!!

Here goes nothing………


"These are the Cullens, Bella." said Charlie.

"Um…hi." I said looking down, away from their piercing gold eyes. They were devastatingly beautiful, like angelic creatures grounded on earth.

"Its so nice to meet you Bella,", one of them said, "I'm Carlisle Cullen."

I looked up to see a very handsome blonde man, smiling down at me.

The woman next to him spoke next "I'm so happy to finally meet you Bella, I'm Esme Cullen and these are my children…..".

Esme pointed out each one and said their names.

"This is Alice…" she said nodding towards a small, pixie-like girl with short, spiked hair sticking out at all directions. Alice nodded and said "Very nice to meet you Bella."

"…..Jasper…." Esme said pointed in the direction of a tall, blond male with movie star- like qualities. He looked as if he were in pain and said nothing.

"….Emmet….". A large, well muscled male with dark brown, curly hair smiled and greeted me.

"…..Rosalie….". Now this was sad. The blond female that Esme pointed out was so beautiful that it hurt to look at her. I immediately felt like dying seeing as I knew I was extremely insignificant. I was crying inside but managed to return her smile.

"….and this is Edward." Esme pointed at the last of the infamous Cullens which was a tall, bronzed haired male with a face that would make any male model frustrated and jealous. He gave me a smile which in result made my heart stop. I was so embarrassed I didn't even return it.

" Hi" I said to all of them in a small voice.

"Dr. Carlisle and his family here, brought you presents." Charlie said to me.

"They're over with the rest of the pile." the doctor said.

"Thank you all so much, but you really didn't have to." I said.

"No, really", said Alice with a huge grin, " it was our pleasure".

"Thank you." I said once more. I wonder how they were able to buy something so last minute.

"Bella!"

I turned to see who was calling me. It was Jessica running over to me with a piece of cloth in her hand.

"Hey", I told her, "what's that for?" waving at the cloth in her hands.

"Oh you'll see." she said taking my hand and leading me to the backyard.

When we got there, I saw that all the kids from school were there in a circle around the tree. Jessica led me to the middle of the circle and I suddenly got stage fright.

"What the hell Jessica!" I whispered to her while blushing.

She ignored me and proceeded to speak to the kids gathered.

"Okay everyone! It is time for the party games!" she said. Oh no!!!!

Off in the far distance I saw that the Cullen kids were headed this way. Oh Crap!!!

Next thing I know, I had gone blind. Someone had put a cloth over my eyes.

"Hey--!" I exclaimed.

"Just relax Bella! Your just gonna play Pin The Tail On The Jonas!" Jessica yelled.

Did she say Jonas?!

She spun me around and pushed me forward. Surprisingly I didn't loose my balance or trip over anything. I just stalked forward all the while yelling "Damn you Jonas Brothers!!!!" and stabbed the pin that was handed to me before hand on the tree.

I could hear cheering and laughing as removed my blindfold. I had pinned the one called Joe below the waist. After seeing that I couldn't help but laugh and others took turns pinning something on the Jonas.


Its was almost the end of the party and I had left my friends for a short while to get some punch. I still wasn't over the humiliation of opening Jessica's present and finding short shorts. It wasn't that I didn't like them, it was the fact that all the boys in the room at the time had each given me cat calls after seeing me blush at the first whistle.

I felt someone by me and I looked up to be met with the eyes of Edward Cullen.

Oh wow!!!

It was like meeting a rock star in person. I felt my knees go weak as gave me a smile. I blushed and gave him a smile of my own. He was the first to talk.

"Hello. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to properly introduce myself, I'm Edward Cullen."

"Uh hi nice to meet you I'm Bella but you probably already know that" I said letting out a nervous laugh.

"Great party you threw out here."

"Oh thanks but I didn't do this all by myself. My friends helped out."

After a few seconds of silence he asked "I hear that you also go to Forks high school?"

"Yes" I answered, "I'm a freshman there."

"I see. I just wanted to know since I'll be starting there as well. As a freshman that is."

"Oh really? Your starting on Monday?"

"Yes. Myself and the rest of my siblings."

"I see…um…so what brings you to the little town of Forks?"

"Well my family thought It would be nice to start over again. You know, clean slate and all."

"Oh that's nice."

"And you?"

"It's a long story." I told him. I was about to drop the subject but he started talking again.

"I can listen."

There was something about his scorching gold eyes that made me want to bear my soul to him. To show him everything. I know that if he just smiled one smile at me my clothes would just slip……

"Um…..well my mother died when I was nine, and Charlie was an officer back in Phoenix. He felt that due to my mother's death, everything for us had changed. So he decided to move here to a little quiet town and I been living here since."

He was just staring at me now, and for some reason I felt naked. I put my hands on my shoulders and waited for him to say something.

"I'm sorry…for your mother." he said.

"Please don't. You had nothing to do with it." I said looking down.

After a long uncomfortable silence he said "I can see that your trying to hide something….trying to push it down deep."

His words pierced me. My breathing became shallow and I smiled bitterly at the floor.

"I'm sorry" he said, "I didn't mean to be hurtful……it's just that you're very difficult to read."

I felt a cold hand at my cheek and I looked up. Edward had brushed a tear away from my face. I felt heat rising in my cheeks.

"I-I'm sorry" I said feeling embarrassed, "I didn't mean to start crying. I'm such an idiot sometimes." I laughed a shaky laugh.

"It's alright." he said dropping his hand from my face. I had the urge to grab his icy hand and put it back on my face. His expression shocked me. It was one of…..wanting?

"I have to go" he said slightly looking as if he didn't want to.

"Oh is that so? My how time flies by." I said lamely.

"Yeah, but I'll see you at school?" he said grinning a crooked grin.

"Yeah." I said feeling a little dazzled by his grin.

"Okay……… I'll see you later then?"

"Yeah, you will." I said giving him a smile. Oh my god!! Did Isabella Swan just flirt?!

I walked away feeling his eyes on my back the entire time. For once in my life I felt…..sexy. Ha!


That night I fell asleep thinking about Edward Cullen and that beautiful crooked grin of his. But if drifted to sleep having the fantasy of kissing him on his lips.

So what do you think? Please review. It took me forever to just come up with one conversation!!

Rosalie: that's because your brain is the size of a peanut.

Me: Shut it Barbie!!
