Chapter 1- The Beginning

Edward Cullen lugged the last of his bags into his families shiney, silver Volvo and reluctantly sat down in the car.

"Mom, tell me why again we have to move to stupid Forks?"

Edward and his family were moving from the busy, fun city of New York, New York to a completely normal and boring town stuck in the countryside, Forks, Washington.

"Your father was promoted—," his mother, Renee, attempted to explain as well as convince Edward that moving to Forks was a good thing.

Mostly Edward just tuned out his mother's explanation about moving.

This time though, he listened. Maybe there was some hidden piece of information about the reason for moving, like a murder in New York, making his parents afraid to live there.

Nothing in the explanation changed, though.

As soon as Edward's father Charlie got into the car they drove off on the countless miles to Forks.

The only good thing about this whole thing is the chance to possibly meet some new friends, or some really cute girl, thought Edward.

He chuckled to himself at the thought.

A hot girl in Forks?

Not a chance.

Edward's previous girlfriend was furious Edward had to leave; so furious in fact, she broke up with him.

Edward hardly cared; he has never been able to stay with a girl.

Edward is very social though; he liked meeting new people as long as they can be completely honest with him, including his girlfriends.

It could happen, he thought. Sure, whatever.

"For the last time, Edward, do you want peanut butter or tuna fish sandwiches?" Renee yelled.

The question caught Edward off guard.

"Oh… er… um. Tuna, I guess."

After his short lunch Edward drifted off to sleep.
