2. So did you stab Edward Cullen with a pencil or what? I’ve never seen him act like that. (Mike)
3. Forks was literally my personal hell on earth. (Bella)
4. Once people start throwing wet stuff I go inside. (Bella)
5. Edward Cullen is staring at you. (Jessica)
6. wasn’t interesting. And he was. Interesting…and brilliant…and mysterious…and perfect…and beautiful…and possibly able to lift full-sized vans with one hand. (Bella)
7. Bella it’s not my fault if you are exceptionally unobservant. (Edward)
8. Stupid, shiny volvo owner. (Bella)
9. It was hard to believe that someone so beautiful could be real. I was afraid that he might disappear in a sudden puff of smoke, and I would wake up. (Bella)
10. What if I’m not a superhero? What if I’m the bad guy? (Edward)
11. His voice was like melting honey. I could imagine how much more overwhelming his eyes would be. (Bella)
12. Can you walk, or do you want me to carry you again? (Edward)
13. Don’t be offended, but you seem to be one of those people who just attract accidents like a magnet. So…try not to fall into the ocean or get run over or anything, all right? (Edward)
14. Stupid, unreliable vampire. (Bella)
15. You’re a magnet for accidents-that’s not a broad enough classification. You are a magnet for trouble. If there is anything dangerous within a ten-mile radius, it will invariably find you. (Edward)
16. I hear voices in my mind and you’re worried you’re the freak. (Edward)
17. About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was part of him — and I didn’t know how potent that part might be — that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him. (Bella)
