So this is where it all started. In the next few months I would learn what it felt like to fall deeply in love with your soul mate, know what it felt like to be the happiest you have ever been, know sadness but

learn having someone there to comfort you makes all the difference, and I would learn what it felt like to have your family ripped away from you in one savage blow.

I am the eldest of two daughters. My mother is Renee and she and her new husband Phil don't have anything to do with us. When she found him, he persuaded her that she didn't need us anymore, that we were a waste of space! My father was the Chief Police Officer in Forks and when my mum had left my sister and me and ran off Charlie was devastated. Needless to say he was never the same. When I was sixteen he was shot by a man robbing a bank. He died a week later. I live at home with my sister who is now sixteen. It has been a year since dad died.

My sister Ellie is a nice, kind, polite, shy girl who does pretty much what she's told when she's told by anyone except me. I look after her, cook and clean for her and she goes out with whoever whenever, but I don't mind she's my sister after all. I tell her to be home by ten and she comes in at midnight but I don't mind, at least she's safe.

I don't do much; I go to school and keep to myself. I get good grades and tutor Ellie when she doesn't pay attention in class, but I like it. I like my job in life and I accept that I am Plain Jane and I never will be pretty and my only special qualities are that I read and study and have a reasonably good taste in music. But that's my life, I will get a good job, earn some money, buy a house somewhere remote and grow my own vegetables in my garden but I'm content with my lot. Or at least I was until they came along. I was late and there they were in the office talking to Mrs. Cope . . .

I was late! How did that happen, I'm never late and now because my alarm clock didn't go off I've made Ellie late as well. How could I be so irresponsible?

I sent Ellie off to her first lesson of the day, so I was only ten minutes late but that wasn't the point. I walked toward the small building that was Forks High School's office and noticed that it was raining. Perfect, I just love rain. I walked through the door into the white room that was the office. There was a small potted plant in the corner and a fan next to the desk. A group of people were standing around the desk talking to Mrs. Cope. I sat down on the only available chair next to the potted plant and waited patiently for them to finish.

There were two girls and three boys; all looked about my age or slightly older. But there was something about them that made me feel young and insignificant, as though they were hundreds of years older than me. This is obviously why it's not a good idea to read as many books as I do, my imagination gets slightly out of hand at times.

The girls were about as different as you could get. One was tall and extremely beautiful; she looked like she could be a model in a swimsuit magazine. She had long blonde hair that fell in neat waves down her back and she had her arm around one of the boys. The other girl was in short but still beautiful but not as beautiful as the blonde. She had short, spiky, black hair and almost pixie-like features. She was leaning back into the embrace of another one of the boys.

The boys were all tall and muscular. The boy holding onto the blonde girl had short, curly, brown hair and looked like a serious weightlifter. The looked down at the blonde with pride as she viciously replied to Mrs. Cope's statement. The boy holding the pixie girl had bronze hair and didn't have as much muscle as the other two but he didn't look weak; not by any stretch of the imagination could he look weak. He looked almost possessive of the pixie girl, but she didn't seem to mind. Then there was the last member of their little group.

He was about the same height as the bronze haired boy; possibly slightly taller. He had blonde hair that was wavy but didn't go anywhere near his shoulders. His face was flawless, his every feature looking as though it had been carved from marble. He had light butterscotch eyes and he was muscled nicely, almost leonine. He was so beautiful and it nearly took my breath away, but I stopped my gasp just in time. It wouldn't have been appropriate; he probably has a girlfriend.

Finally they finished speaking and swept out of the room. The bronze haired boy turned to stare at me and his expression turned from confusion to annoyance to what looked like anger. I was dismayed; what had I done to offend him. The blonde haired boy left last. He turned and looked at me and smiled slightly and I felt immediately calm and reassured. I smiled back slightly finding confidence from somewhere and his smile brightened considerably. One of the others called to him and with his smile still in place walked out of the office.

I stepped up to the table and looked Mrs. Cope.

"Sorry my sister and I were late and missed the register, I came to let you know we were here."

"That's all right dear; you enjoy your lessons and thank you for coming to tell me." I was about to walk out and go to my lessons when an idea came to me. I turned back to Mrs. Cope who was busy filing papers.

"Mrs. Cope who were they?" I felt slightly silly about asking this but I really wanted to know.

"They moved to Forks yesterday and this is their first day at school. They're the Cullen's and the Hale's."
