Below is a teaser of what is going on inside Bella's head. Hope you like it, I wanted to give her a voice and show you that his side of the story is not the only story to be told here.


I can still remember the first time that I saw this boy, he took my breath away and really made me sit up and take notice. He was tall, maybe a little over 6 feet tall. With a slim build, he was clearly not one of the school jocks. He wore glasses which he was pushing back up his nose as they kept slipping down. He also had bronze hair which fell over his face, almost as if he was trying to hide behind it, although he could not hide from me. He was on my radar now and I had no intention of ignoring it. He was certainly someone who I wanted to know more about. He was walking through the yard during lunch one day, head down, minding his own business when he suddenly looked in my direction. I felt that chill go through my body as we made eye contact for the briefest of moments before he put his head back down and practically ran away. I looked to Jessica asking her as casually as I could muster,

"Who was that?" She looked around before groaning in answer to me.

"Oh, him? He's no-one, Just Edward Cullen or as we like to call him,Freakward."

She laughed at her own joke, but I could not see what was so funny about it. The others were obviously all in on the joke as they started laughing with her. I didn't know what to say in response. There was just something about this boy that intrigued me, and I knew, then and there,I wanted to get to know him better.
