"I'm Edward Cullen."
Edward. I haven't heard that name recently unless talking about grandparents. But staring at him, I couldn't picture a more perfect name. I reached out my hand to fully greet him, but he just stared. Yup, he did not like to be touched. A germ phobic? Not likely considering he just pulled my cab out of a huge mud pit.
"Well, I can't thank you enough Edward."
"Don't worry about it. I'll just think of it as my good deed for the day." He smiled crookedly again at me. My knees went weak and my heart race accelerated. What was wrong with me?
I attempted a smile through my little fainting spell. "Do you go to Forks High School? I don't think I have ever seen you there before." Nope. Definitely would have noticed a Greek god roaming the halls.
He shook his head. "My family just moved here about a week ago from Alaska. We start on Monday."
"Oh, well if you or your family need any help, I'd love to return the favor."
He nodded his head but looked hesitant. Did I do something to offend him or something? I thought through our interaction over the last couple minutes and couldn't find any sore spots.
Okay. Now it was just getting awkward.
I started to head to my truck to get out of the weird atmosphere that now surrounded us. "Well, thank you again and I will look to see if I notice you on Monday."
He nodded his head again and headed for the woods. For a beautiful man, he wasn't much for words I guess.
I woke to the sound of the repeated beeping of my alarm. I hit the off button and pulled my pillow over my head. Ugh. I could already hear the rain. I missed the warmth and sunshine that never seemed to shine in Forks. I pulled myself out of bed and got ready for the school day.
When I made my way to the kitchen, Charlie had already made his way off to work. I made sure to write him a note reminding him that I was spending the afternoon down in La Push with Jake. After the note, I grabbed my bag and headed off to school.
When I pulled into the parking lot, the first thing I noticed was the new car in the parking lot. A shiny, silver, Volvo. Yup, it definitely stood out among the parking lot. And so did the five people surrounding it.
The only thing I could do was stare. Never in my life did I see that many beautiful people all at once. They put Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt to shame.
There was two girls and three guys. The first girl was really short and petite. Her hair was short and spiky but beautiful at the same time. Her face was beautifully proportioned and looked as if it came off of a makeup add.
The next girl caused my self esteem to go down ten knots. She was blond, tall, and looked as if she walked right off the runway. Her body was one that men only dreamed of. I made a quick mental note to never stand next to her in a room.
The guys were just as beautiful as the girls. The first boy looked like a body builder. His face was beautiful of course, but he was defiantly the scariest one of them all.
The second boy was smaller, but still looked strong. He had blonde hair and was holding hands with the pixie like one.
And then there was the most beautiful one of them all. Edward Cullen.
This must be his family. How in the world could a family be that good looking. It's just not humanly possible. And all of them had Edward's golden eyes. I was almost a hundred percent sure that that was not a common eye color. I certainly had never seen it before in my life.
Wait, why were they holding hands? I am close with my family, but not that close.
I knew I told Edward that I would say hi if I saw him in school, but there was no way that I could go up to that family without making a fool of myself. I slid out of my car and made sure to get into the school as quick as possible.
I was not the only one who noticed the beautiful family. The halls were buzzing about their arrival. It was as if five movie stars went to our school now. Everyone was talking about the same thing I was just thinking.
"How are they all so beautiful?" "Are they "together", aren't they brothers and sisters though?" "Where did they come from?" "Do I have a chance with any of them?"
During lunch, Jessica could not stop talking about our new classmates. "I have never in my life seen people that beautiful. Where did they come from I wonder?" She gazed at the table that the five of them were sitting at. Not eating. Strange.
"Alaska."
Jessica snapped her head towards me. "You talked to them?" Her chin dropped.
I shook my head. "See that one with the bronze hair? I actually met him the other day when I had some car trouble. He helped me out and told me his family just moved here."
"Did you catch his name?" Yup, Jessica was infatuated already. But really, I could not blame her. He was beautiful. Even as a happily taken girl I could appreciate that.
"Edward Cullen."
Jessica nodded her head, please with the name I guessed.
"Hey Bella?" Jessica asked in a singing like voice.
"What?" I looked up from my tray of food."
"Edward Cullen is staring at you."
My heart started to accelerate yet again.
Thanks for the reviews I received. I'm really excited about this story! Next chapter we will be getting some EB bonding, and maybe some Jake. Things will be getting good. REVIEW PLEASE!!
