Bella couldn't believe her ears. Shelly was willing to let her come with over a break from classes? This was too amazing, even for her. "I'm sure that Charlie and Renee - my parents - would be fine with it," she said. "I don't get to see my mom, though. She lives in Florida with Phil, my step-father," Bella explained. "Charlie - my father - lives in Forks, Washington."
She couldn't bring herself to tell her new found dorm mate and her family about the Cullens though. Not yet.
A smile appeared on her face. For the first time, somebody was generally interested in where she came from.
"Forks, Washington," she stated. "I lived in Phoenix, Arizona for a while with Renee before she married Phil...Moved back to Forks to be with Charlie when I was sixteen, and lived there ever since, Mister Moon," Bella continued.
She looked over at Shelly and almost grinned as she tripped over a bump in the rug. This was going to be a year that nobody was going to forget.
