Chapter 1
“Oh no!” said Christine. “I can’t believe the sun’s coming up!” Christine looks at her clock. “Its 8:00, I’m going to be so late!” Christine puts on some clothes from her dresser, and runs downstairs. “Mike, wake up!” said Christine. “What’s wrong sis?” says Mike, although half asleep. “I’m going to be late!” says Christine with eagerness. “For what?” he says. “Is it Monday?” “Yes, it’s Monday! You have to drive me today!”
“For what?” says Mike, fully awake now.”You never remember anything! I don’t even own a car yet!”
“Right.” says Mike, now standing up.”Get the keys, they’re by the door.” said Mike, trying to get dressed.
Mike is very strong. He has to be, he’s all I have. Mike is the coolest teenage boy in the reservoir. Mike is a part of a gang (not a bad one) but that’s all he tells me. Mike is hiding something…I just don’t know what is so special; he needs to hide it from everyone including me!
“Ok. Let’s go, don’t forget to buckle up ok?” Mike said as he got in the car. “Yes Mike.” I said.

At school, I have two good friends. Ben and Angels are normal like you and me. But my best friend is Isabella Swan, or Bella Swan. She is the sister I never had.
My name is Christine Meyerson. I am 17 years old and a junior at Forks High. We live on the edge of the reservoir by Forks .We live here because my family moved here a few years ago. Later on, out parents died. So it’s just me and Mike. With only one person, each other. Mike drives around a lot (although I don’t know where.) in our little red Toyota Matrix. He won’t let me drive it though. I know how to drive, but I can’t afford a car, its Mike’s fault. He was supposed to help me buy a car last year but, he never got around to it. So I rest my case!
“Christine? Are you ok?” says a voice behind me. I’m sucked back into reality. “Sure, why wouldn’t I be?” I responded without looking back. “Christine! You’re going the wrong way.”
The figure stops walking. I look back, there’s no one there. “Oh! I am going the wrong way!” I said shocked at myself. “Who was that person?” I said bewildered. I turned around and rushed to my class. The bell starts to ring, and I sit in my seat.
“Right on time Christine, for once.” said Mrs. Jefferson, my Biology II teacher.
“Class we are going to indentify our blood types this morning.” says Mrs. Jefferson. “Oh man, I can’t believe this! I’ve already done this!” I heard people murmur to each other. I also have done this lab before. I remember it all too well. Then I noticed Bella alone. “Bella, do you want to be my partner?” I asked her. “Sure. Edward’s not here.”
“That’s his name? I can’t remember names that well.” I replied. I was trying to remember his name since I moved to Forks.
“Let us now begin.” said Mrs. Jefferson in a flat tone. I started to reach for the supplies, when I caught Bella staring at me.”What’s wrong Bella?” I asked her. “I was wondering if you could do this for me.” She said plainly. “Ok, Bella. Sure.” I answered her. When I pinched her finger, she turned pale in the face. I hurried to finish, so that she wouldn’t puke or something. I finished myself, when the bell started to ring. School was over, and everyone left. Except Bella and I. Bella was really quiet, with her head on the desk.
