When Ordinary Meets Extraordinary: A Love Story Defying Nature

In the perpetually rainy town of Forks, Washington, seventeen-year-old Bella Swan expects nothing but mundane misery when she exiles herself there so her mother can travel with her new husband. Living with Charlie, her police chief father, Bella's life takes an unexpected turn when she spots five inhumanly beautiful students at school-the mysterious Cullen family. Among them is Edward, whose curious glances catch her attention before he inexplicably seems to hate her on sight during Biology class. His rigid posture, clenched fists, and hate-filled glare leave Bella stunned before he abruptly disappears for a week. When he returns, his demeanor has completely changed, and during a lab on mitosis, their accidental touch sends an electric shock between them. Most peculiar of all, his eyes have changed from black to golden-brown, though he denies wearing contacts. Their conversation reveals Edward's uncanny insight into Bella's character-he sees through her facade, recognizing the suffering she hides from everyone else. This moment marks the beginning of their strange, magnetic connection-one that will soon prove impossible for either to resist.
