1. First Sight
My mother drove me to the airport with the windows rolled down. It was seventy-five
degrees in Phoenix, the sky a perfect, cloudless blue. I was wearing my favorite shirt
sleeveless, white eyelet lace; I was wearing it as a farewell gesture. My carry-on item was a
parka.
In the Olympic Peninsula of northwest Washington State, a small town named Forks exists
under a near-constant cover of clouds. It rains on this inconsequential town more than any
other place in the United States of America. It was from this town and its gloomy,
omnipresent shade that my mother escaped with me when I was only a few months old. It
was in this town that I'd been compelled to spend a month every summer until I was
fourteen. That was the year I finally put my foot down; these past three summers, my dad,
Charlie, vacationed with me in California for two weeks instead.
It was to Forks that I now exiled myself an action that I took with great horror. I
detested Forks.
I loved Phoenix. I loved the sun and the blistering heat. I loved the vigorous, sprawling city.
"Bella," my mom said to me the last of a thousand times before I got on the
plane. "You don't have to do this."
My mom looks like me, except with short hair and laugh lines. I felt a spasm of panic as I
stared at her wide, childlike eyes. How could I leave my loving, erratic, harebrained mother to
fend for herself ? Of course she had Phil now, so the bills would probably get paid, there
would be food in the refrigerator, gas in her car, and someone to call when she got lost, but
still
"I want to go," I lied. I'd always been a bad liar, but I'd been saying this lie so
frequently lately that it sounded almost convincing now.
"Tell Charlie I said hi." "I
will."
"I'll see you soon," she insisted. "You can come home whenever you want I'll come right
back as soon as you need me."
But I could see the sacrifice in her eyes behind the promise.
"Don't worry about me," I urged. "It'll be great. I love you, Mom."

She hugged me tightly for a minute, and then I got on the plane, and she was gone.
It's a four-hour flight from Phoenix to Seattle, another hour in a small plane up to Port
Angeles, and then an hour drive back down to Forks. Flying doesn't bother me; the hour in
the car with Charlie, though, I was a little worried about.
Charlie had really been fairly nice about the whole thing. He seemed genuinely pleased that
I was coming to live with him for the first time with any degree of permanence. He'd already
gotten me registered for high school and was going to help me get a car.
But it was sure to be awkward with Charlie. Neither of us was what anyone would call
verbose, and I didn't know what there was to say regardless. I knew he was more than a little
confused by my decision like my mother before me, I hadn't made a secret of my distaste
for Forks.
When I landed in Port Angeles, it was raining. I didn't see it as an omen just
unavoidable. I'd already said my goodbyes to the sun.
Charlie was waiting for me with the cruiser. This I was expecting, too. Charlie is Police
Chief Swan to the good people of Forks. My primary motivation behind buying a car, despite
the scarcity of my funds, was that I refused to be driven around town in a car with red and blue
lights on top. Nothing slows down traffic like a cop.
Charlie gave me an awkward, one-armed hug when I stumbled my way off the plane. "It's
good to see you, Bells," he said, smiling as he automatically caught and steadied
me. "You haven't changed much. How's Rene?"
"Mom's fine. It's good to see you, too, Dad." I wasn't allowed to call him Charlie to his face.
I had only a few bags. Most of my Arizona clothes were too permeable for Washington. My
mom and I had pooled our resources to supplement my winter wardrobe, but it was still
scanty. It all fit easily into the trunk of the cruiser.
"I found a good car for you, really cheap," he announced when we were strapped in. "What
kind of car?" I was suspicious of the way he said "good car for you" as opposed
to just "good car."
"Well, it's a truck actually, a Chevy."
"Where did you find it?"
"Do you remember Billy Black down at La Push?" La Push is the tiny Indian
reservation on the coast.

"No."
"He used to go fishing with us during the summer," Charlie prompted.
That would explain why I didn't remember him. I do a good job of blocking painful,
unnecessary things from my memory.
"He's in a wheelchair now," Charlie continued when I didn't respond, "so he can't drive
anymore, and he offered to sell me his truck cheap."
"What year is it?" I could see from his change of expression that this was the question he
was hoping I wouldn't ask.
"Well, Billy's done a lot of work on the engine it's only a few years old, really."
I hoped he didn't think so little of me as to believe I would give up that easily. "When did
he buy it?"
"He bought it in 1984, I think." "Did
he buy it new?"
"Well, no. I think it was new in the early sixties or late fifties at the earliest," he
admitted sheepishly.
"Ch Dad, I don't really know anything about cars. I wouldn't be able to fix it if
anything went wrong, and I couldn't afford a mechanic"
"Really, Bella, the thing runs great. They don't build them like that anymore."
The thing, I thought to myself it had possibilities as a nickname, at the very least.
"How cheap is cheap?" After all, that was the part I couldn't compromise on.
"Well, honey, I kind of already bought it for you. As a homecoming gift." Charlie
peeked sideways at me with a hopeful expression.
Wow. Free.
"You didn't need to do that, Dad. I was going to buy myself a car."
"I don't mind. I want you to be happy here." He was looking ahead at the road when he said
this. Charlie wasn't comfortable with expressing his emotions out loud. I inherited that from
him. So I was looking straight ahead as I responded.
"That's really nice, Dad. Thanks. I really appreciate it." No need to add that my being
happy in Forks is an impossibility. He didn't need to suffer along with me. And I never
looked a free truck in the mouth or engine.
"Well, now, you're welcome," he mumbled, embarrassed by my thanks.

We exchanged a few more comments on the weather, which was wet, and that was
pretty much it for Conversation. We stared out the windows in silence.
It was beautiful, of course; I couldn't deny that. Everything was green: the trees, their trunks
covered with moss, their branches hanging with a canopy of it, the ground covered with ferns.
Even the air filtered down greenly through the leaves.
It was too green an alien planet.
Eventually we made it to Charlie's. He still lived in the small, two-bedroom house that he'd
bought with my mother in the early days of their marriage. Those were the only kind of days
their marriage had the early ones. There, parked on the street in front of the house that
never changed, was my new well, new to me truck. It was a faded red color, with big,
rounded fenders and a bulbous cab. To my intense surprise, I loved it. I didn't know if it would
run, but I could see myself in it. Plus, it was one of those solid
iron affairs that never gets damaged the kind you see at the scene of an accident, paint
unscratched, surrounded by the pieces of the foreign car it had destroyed.
"Wow, Dad, I love it! Thanks!" Now my horrific day tomorrow would be just that much less
dreadful. I wouldn't be faced with the choice of either walking two miles in the rain
to school or accepting a ride in the Chief's cruiser.
"I'm glad you like it," Charlie said gruffly, embarrassed again.
It took only one trip to get all my stuff upstairs. I got the west bedroom that faced out over
the front yard. The room was familiar; it had been belonged to me since I was born. The
wooden floor, the light blue walls, the peaked ceiling, the yellowed lace curtains around the
window these were all a part of my childhood. The only changes Charlie had ever made
were switching the crib for a bed and adding a desk as I grew. The desk now held a
secondhand computer, with the phone line for the modem stapled along the floor to the
nearest phone jack. This was a stipulation from my mother, so that we could stay in touch
easily. The rocking chair from my baby days was still in the corner.
There was only one small bathroom at the top of the stairs, which I would have to share with
Charlie. I was trying not to dwell too much on that fact.
One of the best things about Charlie is he doesn't hover. He left me alone to unpack and get
settled, a feat that would have been altogether impossible for my mother. It was nice
to be alone, not to have to smile and look pleased; a relief to stare dejectedly out the window

at the sheeting rain and let just a few tears escape. I wasn't in the mood to go on a real crying
jag. I would save that for bedtime, when I would have to think about the coming morning.
Forks High School had a frightening total of only three hundred and fifty-seven now
fifty-eight students; there were more than seven hundred people in my junior class alone
back home. All of the kids here had grown up together their grandparents had been toddlers
together.I would be the new girl from the big city, a curiosity, a freak.
Maybe, if I looked like a girl from Phoenix should, I could work this to my advantage. But
physically, I'd never fit in anywhere. I should be tan, sporty, blond a volleyball player, or
a cheerleader, perhaps all the things that go with living in the valley of the
sun.
