EDWARD MEETS BELLA…IN REAL LIFE

Dear Kaleb,

So up until about two months ago, my Twilight knowledge was limited to mocking any girl I saw for reading “that apple book”.

But when I moved across the country to live with my uncle, swapping into a co-ed high school with my cousin, out of nowhere there were apples, flowers, ribbons and chess pieces everywhere there was estrogen, including the desks of some of my teachers! It roused my curiosity a bit more and I asked my cousin about it, worried I’d find out she was as crazy obsessed with it as all the other girls were. To my huge relief, she informed me that she wasn’t. She was just starting the first audio-book a friend had lent her. It was supposed to be this epic love story. Bleh.

Anyway, Liz got me invited to a friend’s party later that week since I was the ‘new guy’. Just after I got there, I spotted a girl across the room chatting up with some friends. The most conspicuous thing about her was that she was wearing casual clothes at a Halloween party.

I asked Liz about her and she kinda did a double take when she saw who I was talking about. Told me that was Bella, the girl who’d lent her the Twilight audio. I felt weird just walking up to her out of nowhere so I asked Liz if she’d introduce me and she obliged.

“Hey, guys. This is my cousin,” she told them casually, “Edward, this is Bella.”

And the girls totally flipped, especially Bella. Scared the crap out of me too. They squealed and giggled and I turned beet red, feeling like an idiot since I’d always hated my full name.

“Just Eddie,” I corrected with a glare at my cousin as I shook Bella’s hand.

Out of nowhere (again) the girls decided to unanimously ditch the two of us with some lame ‘dying of thirst’ line, leaving Bella and me alone. So in an attempt to make small talk, I asked her about her outfit and if she couldn’t find a costume. She blushed quite obviously and told me she was dressed as ‘Bella Swan’

Logically, I figured that meant she really COULDN’T find an outfit. When I told her as much, she gave me a LOOK.

“Bella Swan? From Twilight?” she asked me, like it was supposed to be clear as day.

“The apple book?” I asked, not having any idea whatsoever what that had to do with anything.

“You really don’t KNOW?” she said, almost laughing.

This exchange led into a long and detailed conversation which started with explaining (to my embarrassment) about the novel’s characters EDWARD Cullen and BELLA Swan and why my introduction sent her and her friends into fits of hysteria. It lasted pretty much the entire party, about vampire baseball and how transformed human blood makes vampires stronger, the whole deal. When the party ended, she tattooed most of my forearm with websites to check out if I was interested, including this one. Thrown somewhere in the middle was her number.

So before my uncle came around to pick us up, I asked Liz, casually as I could, if I could upload the audio book to my MP3 player. She rolled her eyes, as she pulled out her iPod and lent me a headphone.

Three weeks later, we’d gone through all four audiobooks and I was starting to follow the movie news (was I the only one who NEVER saw that proposal coming?). Liz’s crowd, including Bella (who I’d been talking to since Halloween) invited me to go to the midnight movie.

As we were walking out, I figured now or never and asked Bella if she wouldn’t mind being my stupid lamb. Ignoring her friends who awwed and cheered behind us, she just laughed and told me that she was glad it didn’t take me 90 years.”

  1. Hahaha, this is my favorite yet!
    I started crackin up when she said, “Edward, this is Bella.” Because we didn’t know what his name was up until that point!

    Happy Twilighting!

  2. Awww…..It’s midnight, I just finished writing a horrible DBQ (document-based question) for history, and this just cheered me up so much. That is the wierdes thing ever! I can just imagine what was going through Liz’s mind when she realized that “Eddie” wanted to meet Bella. So sweet!

  3. awww! you see things like that don’t happen often especially to me haha, how cute how he said would you be my stupid lamb? super sweet 😀

  4. how cute was that? i had this inkling of what the name of this TwiGuy is, but reading it still caused me to go ‘aww’ because, really, how often do you find stories like that? i mean, this book series bringing so many couples together. Stephenie Meyer’s pure awesomeness.
    oh, and i found it funny that, while Edward (Cullen) minds being called ‘Eddie’, this guy wants to be called just that.
    really sweet story. when will something like that ever happen to me?!
    J.

  5. That was the best story so far!! Well, it might be tied with the proposal, or the boyfriend who doused himself in sparkles and climbed through his girlfriend’s window.

    I would have died if I witnessed that exchange. How meant to be is it?! Edward, this is Bella. Jeez. Poor guy. Had no idea what he was getting into lol. I had a feeling when he noticed the girl dressed casually at a Halloween party that she would be dressed as a Twilight character haha. What did surprise me was the name significance.

  6. I love this story. Am still trying to convince my guy that being a twilight guy isn’t the worse thing in the universe…he’s starting a support group for The Significant Others of Girls Who Like Twilight. He did go to the movie with me though…

  8. hahaha that is awesome 🙂
    lucky bella.
    it is a little odd however that no one had ever told him the main characters names…or that he hadn’t seen them printed on a bilboard somewhere[or everywhere] :p

    …and i never thought the audio book would be as good but it must be okay

  15. oh, this is just priceless. I’m still swooning and giggling. Loved how he finally asked her out and her response! Absolutely Edward-tastic!♥

  17. awww !

    that was faith ! who knew an Edward would actually meet a Bella .. in real life !
    -and he was so clueless ! ♥

    this probably one of my favorite stories yet 🙂

  22. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

  26. Hahaha! I love how at the end she was like I’m just glad it didn’t take you 90 years :p This was soo cute! It brightened up my day considerably.

  27. How Queer! At least you both were made for each other. Funny thing is my guys name is James Edward Howe. Hahahaahaaha!

  32. Oh my goodness. That was soooo cute (insert AAAAWWWW! here). Wish my name was Bella and I met an Edward. Maybe I’ll change my name someday 😛 Juuust kiddin’. But it was a really good Twilightguy story. It was so, so, so sweet. The best so far I think.

  35. HAHAHA! That’s freaky, funny and quite cute all at the same time. A couple named after two people in a book, especially Twilight. It’s kinda cool! 🙂

  37. Awwww that’s so cute!

    I would have died laughing if I had seen that introduction. So great, especially how he was completely clueless about what his name just caused. lol And I loved how he asked her to be his ‘stupid lamb!’ Adorable. Why can’t that ever happen to me????

  38. That super cute! “Bella this is Edward” Ingenious 😀 Best story ever! Wish all well to Edward and Bella -real life. <3 You guys are so lucky to have eachother.

  41. W. O. W. That was friggin’ amazing! Tehe 😉 That was definately my favorite, ever. Hehe 🙂

  42. awww that is so sweet!! i love the ending when he asks her out saying ‘will you be my stupid lamb’! x

  44. Oh, I forgot! It can’t be THE BEST, because I’m in love with the one about the guy who put glitter all over himself and snuck through his girlfriend’s window, and the Twi-Grandpappy…and some other ones. Tehe 🙂 And also, I would have died laughing at that meeting. “Edward, this is Bella.” Hahahaha 🙂 I would have been rolling on the floor for ages, and it’s be more like gasping for air or hyperventilating than laughing…And I’d also get a lot of weird looks. Tehe 🙂 Oh well, I already get those more than twice daily! 🙂

  45. That is indeed very cute XD Wow. And unexpected, too! I don’t think it would happen as easily with people with names in other languages, though 😛 And I don’t have a famous book name either, so there we go.

    As they said above, this is the nicest story yet 🙂

  46. I hope they won’t have the same problems that the fictional Edward and Bella do. Hopefully there is no “Jacob” around to keep them apart. Adorable story, Kaleb. Thanks for sharing.

  48. Awww….. kinda want me to change my name to ‘Bella’ now and try to ‘randomly’ *coughyeahrightcough* bump into a guy named Edward (not that I know one which means I have to go hunting for one first 😀 )

  50. Awwwwwww!!! That was so adorable it made me cry a little from the sheer adorable-ness! And I have no idea why I’m crying!!! GAH!!! This was just made of awesome. “Edward, this is Bella” XDDDDD I literally, went “NO. FRICKIN. WAY.” and then promptly broke out into fangirlish squeals of glee. XD Hahahaha…ahhhh!! *dies of cuteness* This has got to be one of my faves. ^^
