She has chosen to move from bright, sunny Phoenix, Arizona to rainy, dreary Forks, Washington. Forks is where her dad, Charlie, lives. Bella’s parents are divorced and she decides to spend some time with her dad. The new school isn’t so bad and she has even made a few friends. Except for Edward Cullen, things seem to be moving along smoothly. For some very strange reason, Bella is attracted to this pale, black-eyed, gorgeous looking guy. Not having much dating experience, she is uncertain about this hot and cold behavior toward her. Bella and Edward seem to be attracted to each other as if by animal-like attraction. This couldn’t be closer to the truth! Beautiful Edward is a vampire and Bella knows it.
