The way I saw it was that Jasper Cullen must be a god or something. From his blonde curly hair, his red lips to his sleek, pale body, he was stunning. I felt so ordinary compared to him. He was utterly gorgeous but he seemed so mysterious. Him and the group of Cullens. They kept themselves to themselves.

     I stared dreamily out of the window. God, it’s so rainy!! I’d spent the summer (I’d hardly call it a summer, there was so much rain) here in Forks and today was my first day of Forks High School. I wished I was away from the rainy town of Forks and was back in Phoenix with Mom. She’d split up with my dad, Charlie, a long, long, time ago. She got together with another guy Phil, who was ok, but obviously not good enough for her. So now she was all on her own. I wanted to be with her to make sure she was okay. But I was stuck in Forks because Charlie’s my dad and I don’t want to hurt his feelings by moving away.

     “Bella? Earth to Bella?” I tore my eyes from the window. I was sitting in the canteen with my new friends. I’m really shy and not so good at making friends but they sort of just picked me up. I was so grateful. They were nice people. I took a bite from my apple and gave Angela Weber an enquiring look.

     “Time to go Bella! You’ve got your first lesson of Biology, remember?”Oops. I forgot I actually had lessons to go to.

     “Thanks!”I said gratefully to Angela. She laughed. I swung my bag over my shoulder and left the canteen, glancing one more time at Jasper. Angela grabbed my arm and basically hauled me out the door. Thank goodness she was there! Next thing I knew, I’d be drooling over the sight of him!

     Angela left me and I wandered off down the corridor in search of the science classroom. Damn. I was in the Art Department! Must have taken a wrong turn somewhere. I bit my lip. I wish I had Angela with me. She was so sensible and organized. I carried on down the corridor when someone grabbed my arm.
