Twilight

The book I have started to read is the ever so popular, Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. Even though I have only read the first three chapters, I am hooked. Bella Swan is the new-girl in Town to Forks, Washington. At first, she didn't want to move. Her mom re-married and thought it would be the best to get away and live with Charlie, her dad. There were many things wrong with Forks already. First of all, it rained almost everyday, unlike Phoenix. Second, She had met few friends the first day and people seemed to all know her name. Third, it seemed as if Edward Cullen, the most handsome guy she had ever seen, hated her with a passion. She didn't know why. It's not like she had done anything to him! During Biology, she sat next to him and his dark eyes looked full of hatred when he looked at her. "I peeked up at him one more time, and regretted it. He was glaring down at me again, his black eyes full of revulsion. As I flinched away from him, shrinking against my chair, the phrase if looks could kill suddenly ran through my mind." (24) After school that day, Bella made her way to the front office and she saw Edward arguing with the receptionist. She couldn't help but listen in while he was fighting to get out of his Biology class. What had she done wrong? The next day, Bella came into school scared. She couldn't have another encounter with Edward, even though every time she turned a corner, she watched for his charming good-looking face and dazzling smile. She would look at his brothers and sisters and wonder where he was. In Biology, she came to class and immediately sat down. Right then and there he came through the door. Bella stared straight at her notebook pretending to be interested in something else. To her surprise, the words that came out of his mouth were actually heart-warming. "'Hello,' said a quiet, musical voice." (43) Completely shocked that he was being nice to her she didn't know what to say. All Bella knew was that she was starting to like Edward Cullen a little bit more now.
