HELLO, ALL! This is my first fanfic, so go easy on me! I've had this idea in my head for FOREVER and I just wanna get it out there. I'll update every so often, maybe every week/weekend. This first chapter might be a tad bit short, but have some faith, they WILL get longer.

Disclaimer: Stephenie Meyer owns all, I just make Edward and Bella my little puppets. ;)

"Bells! Let's go! You're gonna be late for your first day of senior year!"

Ah, senior year. The beginning of the end. My last year at Forks High School.

Thank the fucking lord.

I've lived in Forks, Washington my whole life. My mom died when I was three, which left me with my father, Charlie. He's the chief of police here in Forks. When I was little, I thought it was cool; driving around in the cruiser all the time, people waving from their porches and stoops. Now, it's just plain embarrassing.

I REALLY need my own car.

"BELLA!" my father yelled, breaking me out of my reverie.

"I'm coming!" I grabbed my orange backpack off my bed and ran downstairs. Charlie sat at the kitchen table, coffee and the weekly newspaper in hand.

"Well?" he asked quietly.

"Well, what?"

"How does it feel?" Here we go.

"How does what feel?"

"Oh c'mon. Senior year… turning 18…anything?" Did I forget to mention it's my birthday? Yes? Oh, well…

"Am I supposed to feel different?"

"You will after this."

"Wha-"

But I was cut short by a honking noise outside. What the fuck? I ran to the screen door and there sat Sue Clearwater, my father's girlfriend, in a BEAUTIFUL orange Chevy truck with a big red ribbon around the hood.

"OH MY GOD!" I turned around to see my father's smirk.

"Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I ran to give Charlie a hug, which he awkwardly accepted. Just then, Sue walked in carrying a key.

"You better get going, you're gonna be late!" She said as she approached me. She dropped the key into my hand and gave me a hug.

"Later, dad! Bye, Sue!"

I climbed into my truck, got it started and was off to school. My day was like all "first days of school". All 6 six classes consisted of talking, syllabi, and more talking. At lunch I sat with my friends; Angela, Eric, Ben, Lauren, Jessica, and last but LEAST, Mike.

On my way home, I was stuck behind a U-Haul truck. Maybe we're adding a handful to our 3120 people. I stopped for some groceries to make dinner for Charlie and I.

When I turned onto my street, the same U-Haul truck was parked across the street from my house. Weird. Boxes were already unloaded, and lined the curbside. I walked up to my front door, opened in and went inside.

The last thing I saw before I closed the door was a tall head of bronze hair.

7 DAYS LATER

The next Monday after school, I stopped for more groceries before I went home. I started in the cereal aisle and went on from there. I got to the frozen food aisle, and began stocking up for the next week. Stuck between choosing TV dinners or potpies for that night, I felt someone bump into me from behind, causing me to loose my balance and begin to fall.

But I didn't.

A pair of strong arms had caught me. I looked up at the heroic stranger, and my heart stopped.

HOLY FUCK.

I met the most beautiful pair of emerald green eyes I had ever seen in my entire life. He had a strong jawline, a thin, perfect nose, and the most kissable, plump lips you could ever imagine.

Woah. Where did that come from?

"Are you alright?" a perfect, velvety voice asked me. I realized I had been staring for quite some time, and quickly gained my composure and got to my feet.

Play it cool, Bella.

"I…uh…mhmm."

Very intelligent.

"You sure?" the stranger asked. I simply nodded. "I'm sorry for bumping into you."

"Don't worry about it."

"Ahh, she speaks.", he smirked, a gleam in his eye.

SWOON!

"I have to get going. Sorry again…" subtly asking for my name.

"Oh, uh, Bella. Bella Swan."

"The chief's daughter?" I nodded. "Nice to meet you, I'm Edward Cullen."

He held out his hand for me to shake and I took it happily. There was a jolt through my finger tips all the way through my body when our skin touched. We both jumped and met eyes for a brief second before backing up again and letting go of each others hands.

"Well, uh…", he gestured to his cart. "I guess I'll see you around." I kept staring and nodded. He turned his cart toward the front and started down the aisle.

Dear God! Look at that ass!

I finished my shopping in a daze, put them in the truck and started home. I'm not sure how I got home, but I did, and plopped down on my bed after putting them all away.

Edward Cullen.

Good? Yes? No? Maybe so? Should I continue? SEND ME LOVE!

R&R! 3
