Twilight: Chapter 4 {Invitation}

My favorite quote: "I don't see how that is any of your business." Stupid, shiny Volvo owner. (page 83)



Bella starts seeing Edward in her dreams-what warm blooded girl wouldn't? She sees herself as pathetic for letting Edward's very existence penetrate and influence her every thought.


Jessica pleads for Bella's blessings to ask Mike to the school spring dance. Is Bella Mike's mother now? Would Jessica honestly not ask Mike if Bella had a problem with it? I doubt it. Jessica, being the center of her own universe, is peeved when Mike doesn't give her an immediate answer. Mike and Jessica deserve each other.


Edward's eyes go through the transition of getting darker then back to liquid gold. Is Bella the only human who notices this? Maybe she's the only human naïve enough to get within range to notice.


Bella fails miserably at her attempts to pay Edward back with indifference for ignoring her-so she thinks. She wants him, and she won't be happy until she possesses his heart.


Edward makes his first attempt to warn Bella that he's hazardous to her health. Yet, he always appears out of thin air to retrieve her fallen items. Who's obsessed with whom?


After a long, agonizing day at school, both Eric and Tyler add fuel to the flame when they ask Bella to the spring dance. She attempts to save their egos by going with the ruse that she'll be in Seattle on that day. Of course, since Edward can't seem to stay away from Bella he offers to drive her to Seattle himself on the day of the dance.
