Young Bella Swan, adoptive sister of Sam Uley, is a werewolf in La Push. She imprints on her best friend Jacob, but when she meets the charming Edward Cullen, will ancient folklore or true love be stronger?
Last night was one of the best nights of my life. Me and Edward just connect, we are always comfortable around each other. No matter what happens he can talk to me and I can talk to him. I don't feel shy or nervous with him like I did with Jacob, with Edward I feel at home. Speaking of Jacob I need to talk to him, we need to get what happened out of the way. As much I don't agree with what he said to me, he still is my best friend. I have to leave to go to school in 20 minutes, I grab my phone and text him.
Hey, Jake.
His reply comes back instantly.
Hi, Bella.
We need to talk to Jake.
Yes, we do, when should we meet.
Does the treaty line work for you?
Yeah, it does bring that blood-sucker to, he's the reason we're in this mess.
Jake, this is not his fault. Don't blame him. I'll ask if he can come.
Yeah, right, Bella. If you hadn't met him, you and I would still be together.
Jake you and I aren't meant to be, can't we talk this out like civilians.
Bella, just come to the treaty line today at 4.
Ok, fine. See you soon.
Bye.
I quickly get ready for school. I grab my black leggings with my off-white sweater and pair it with a necklace and cute ugg boots. It's perfect for the weather outside.

I grab my back and open the door. I see Edward and I smile.
"Good morning. Would you like a ride to school?" He asks.
"Good morning. Sure." He smiles.
We get in the car and sit in silence. We would look at each other once in a while and smile.
Edward breaks the silence," Bella, I have something to ask you."
"What?"
"I..uhh..was wondering. Uh... if you would like to... Uh... be my girlfriend." He stutters.
I am screaming with joy inside, but I don't let him see W that. I try to keep cool, so he doesn't think I'm crazy.
"I would love to be your girlfriend Edward," I say grinning.
He grins and takes my hand in his.
I prepare myself to ask him about meeting Jacob. Better now than never.
"I texted Jacob this morning." I blurt out.
His grin falls and he looks serious," Oh."
"It wasn't anything like that, I asked him if we could talk to clear things up."
"What did he say?"
"He said to meet him by the treaty line and... To bring you. So will you come?" I ask nervously.
"Yeah, of course. We do need to clear things out and I need to apologize for my behavior towards him. Also, you don't need to be so nervous Bella."
"I was afraid of what your reaction might be. I didn't want you to be mad."
"You don't need to be afraid of me Bella, and I could never be mad at you."
The car stops since we reached and I lean over to hug him. He instantly hugs me back, I squeeze him harder and so does he to me. We both pull back and look slightly, and look into each other's eyes. His onyx to my chocolate brown, he slowly leans in and kisses me. It was just like yesterday, I don't know if he feels it but every time we kiss I feel electricity go through me. His lips are soft against mine, he pulls me closer so our chests are touching. Even though it pains me I pull back. His eyes fill with hurt.
"I'm sorry if I went too far." He says apologetically.
"No you didn't, I only pulled back because we're late. Class is about to start, and I don't want us to get detention."
"Oh, right let's go."
We get out and walk to class our hands together. We're by our lockers to get our books when Mike comes up to me. He's asked me out several times even though I've told him I'm not interested. Edward growls next to me, not loud enough for Mike to hear though.
"Hey, Bella."
"Hi, Mike."
"I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me?"
I look at Edward and see that he is glaring daggers at Mike. If looks could kill Mike would be lying dead on the floor right now.
I grab Edwards's hand and he stops.
"I'm sorry Mike but I'm not interested. Plus I have a boyfriend."
"Oh, it's fine I guess."
He turns around and leaves.
"That Mike Newton is really getting on my nerves. He has thoughts about you that a gentleman should never have about a lady. Obviously, he's not a gentleman."
"No, he isn't. But you are, thank you for keeping you cool. It must not be easy reading his thoughts."
"Your welcome, but if it wasn't for you, I don't know what I would have done."
The bell rang; we said our goodbyes and left for our classes. The rest of the day passes by pretty fast. I was getting nervous and anxious by the minute as 4 o'clock came. Me and Edward reached but Jake wasn't there yet.
Edward could tell I was nervous so he grabbed my hands and looked at me.
"Calm down, Bella. Nothing is going to happen."
"You don't know that, I've known Jake for a long time. He is a great person his only problem is that he is possessive. What if he gets angry and transforms and hurts you. "
"That's not going to happen, just take a deep breath."
I take a deep breath and that actually helps. He could tell that worked by the way he smiled.
He leans in and so do I getting the idea.
Before our lips could touch a cough interrupted us.
