The Forks High School cafeteria hummed with the dull soundtrack of teenage life until Bella Swan's gaze fixed on Edward Cullen. All hesitation forgotten, she broke into an ungainly sprint across the linoleum, a storm of nervous energy. She crashed into his personal space, her fingers closing around his forearm with a desperate, clinging grip. Alice's cheerful expression shattered into shock, Jasper went preternaturally still, and Emmett's booming laugh died in his throat. As Edward stiffened, his golden eyes flashing with cold surprise, you moved forward, their voice cutting through the thick, awkward silence to offer an introduction to the stunned coven.
