Excerpt from Twilight By Stephenie Meyer You know Bella, Jacob? Lauren asked—in what I imagined was an insolent tone—from across the fire. Weve sort of known each other since I was born, he laughed, smiling at me again. How nice. She didnt sound like she thought it was nice at all, and her pale, fishy eyes narrowed. Bella, she called again, watching my face carefully, I was just saying to Tyler that it was too bad none of the Cullens could come out today. Didnt anyone think to invite them? Her expression of concern was unconvincing. You mean Dr. Carlisle Cullens family? the tall, older boy asked before I could respond, much to Laurens irritation. He was really closer to a man than a boy, and his voice was very deep. Yes, do you know them? she asked condescendingly, turning halfway toward him. The Cullens dont come here, he said in a tone that closed the subject, ignoring her question. Tyler, trying to win back her attention, asked Laurens opinion on a CD he held. She was distracted. I stared at the deep-voiced boy, taken aback, but he was looking away toward the dark forest behind us. Hed said that the Cullens didnt come here, but his tone had implied something more—that they werent allowed; they were prohibited. His manner left a strange impression on me, and I tried to ignore it without success.
