Bella moves from Phoenix, AZ to the small town of Forks located in the Olympic Peninsula of northwest Washington. Before reading this book I had never heard of Forks; I wasn't even positive if it was an actual place. I learned that: 1) I could feasibly drive there in about three hours and, 2) my mother-in-law lived there for a year at one point in time.
Bella first lays eyes on Edward while in the Forks High School cafeteria. She learns about the Cullen family from Jessica, one of the school gossips. I didn't know that Rosalie and Jasper were perceived as twins and shared the same last name. I also didn't know that Carlisle and Esme were so young. As I read about them and their nurturing parental roles I automatically think of them as being older.
While Bella sat next to Edward in biology class he was very rigid and antagonized. It was obvious that he was offended by Bella's mere presence. Bella couldn't figure him out. Her feelings were hurt by this unprovoked rejection.
Bella had a rough first day at school.
