Chapter One:
New Kid I n School
I sat down at my desk, early as always. It was the first day of the fifth grade and I was a little overly excited. There were nametags at are desks and I noticed that I didn't recognize the name of the boy who was suppose to sit next to me.
That's odd, I thought to myself, I thought I knew everyone at this school. This must be a new kid. His name was Edward Cullen.
I mentally prepared myself to be polite. If I was going to sit next to him, it would be a much-needed thing. That's when I heard the chair next to me pull out and slide back in. I looked up and did a double take. This boy was so pretty I could barely stand it. With his bronze hair and his green eyes, he was perhaps the most flawless thing I had ever laid my eyes upon.
My stomach began to do back flips and I didn't recognize the sensation I felt in every limb of my body. How could this boy make me feel this way? And how could I feel this way in the fifth grade? I hadn't said two words to him, but when I looked into his eyes, I felt like I had known him for years.
When I finally caught my bearings, I looked up to find him with a peculiar expression on his face… almost as if we were on exactly the same page.
"Hi, I'm Isabella Swan," -it was very difficult to choke out those words- "but you can call me Bella for short."
"It's nice to meet you Bella," he managed to get out with difficulty. "My name is Edward Cullen."
We continued to stare into each other's eyes until we heard a chair across from us scoot out and slide back in. I felt the warmth in my skin as I began to blush. This cannot be happening! I'm 10 years old! I don't even know what these feelings mean but they cannot be good.
I decided that there was no way I was going to let this painstakingly beautiful boy have this affect on me. I would talk to him like I would any other person and ignore the woozy feeling I felt in my stomach.
I noticed that Edward had a deep cut on his right arm and decided to ask him about it. I did not, however, meet his questioning gaze, for I could feel his eyes boring into the side of my head.
"So, Edward, may I ask what happened to your arm?" That was an easy enough question, but my voice still shook a little on the way out.
He looked down at his arm and laughed. "I fell off of my bike in the middle of the road. It really looks worse than it feels."
His voice was like music to my ears and as soft as velvet. He was so lovely… Wait, what was I saying? How could this boy have such an intense affect on me?
When I looked up again, he was still staring at me. I wanted to swim in those vivid green eyes of his… Snap out of it Bella, he's just a boy.
I stared at him a second longer, then I decided to continue on with our conversation just to give myself something to do.
"Did you have a nice summer?" What a brilliant question, but it seemed to snap him out of his deep thoughts.
"It was okay; I spent most of it moving." He seemed like he was having just as much trouble carrying on a conversation with me as I was with him. That made me nervous. Did he too feel the connection between us? Like we've known each other all of our lives?
"Where did you move from?" That was all I could think to ask. I was seriously off my game while talking to Edward.
"Chicago."
"Well then, I guess the move to Forks isn't that depressing then."
I live in the small town of Forks. I t rains here a lot and almost every day is cloudy. On the rare occasion the sun is out, no matter how cold it is, the kids here where shorts and a t-shirt.
When he gave me a questioning look, I continued. " I just mean that, since you lived in the windy city, the rain and the cold couldn't be all bad."
"Ah." That's all he said because the shrill shriek of the bell resounded in the classroom.
