The theme of trusting has been put across in most of the book so far. Edward finally decides to come clean about him being a vampire. He tells Bella up front that his whole family is vampires and that she should be somewhat frightened. However, Bella is not scared at all. In fact this intrigues her, and she finds herself happily amused. Bella's reaction on the other hand doesn't make Edward happy. He knows he will be able to trust her with all of her secrets now, but he is afraid for her dedication to him. He understands that she loves him. This saddens him because if it weren’t for his self control, she would otherwise die. The reason for this is because to him, she smells delicious and enchanting. He has never smelt anyone like her and knows he must keep her safe, because he too in return, loves her. Now they must trust each other to keep themselves together. Because of Edward’s secret and Bella’s delicate mortality they have to revolve their lives around the safety of the other.
Trusting someone can be a hard thing to do, especially for Edward because his secret is significant and shouldn’t have even been said to Bella. His life in Forks depends on Bella’s trust, being that if any other human found out about his family’s secret they would have to relocate somewhere far away. They would also have to start their lives all over again, and he wouldn’t be able to live with Bella. Trust is an important thing that is fragile and hard to give away. Yet Edward granted his trust in Bella.

Dear Edward,
I don't know why you aren't able to trust me. I just want you to know that I am a good friend who is willing to listen. I don't know what you're going through, but I do know that it is always better to let out your feelings. You should know that I'm not a mean person who likes to gossip and spill secrets, therefore you can tell me anything. I understand that you're not normal because of the recent events. Firstly, I wasn't the only one in the parking lot who saw you move that fast to save me from being crushed by Tyler's car. People have asked me questions pertaining to that. They’ve asked did you see that too. Or how come Edward didn’t get crushed, what happened when the car came? I haven’t told anyone anything but I know you’re hiding something. Also because, secondly I have found out that the people you sit with everyday at lunch are your siblings and all of you are much different than everyone else in the whole city. You guys glow, and have this presence that I can’t describe. You basically blow everyone away with your beauty. I just want to be a good friend and I hope you really understand that. I would like to get to know you, so I can understand what you’re going through. I do have a few guesses as to what you really are, but I would prefer if you just came out and told me.
Your friend,
Bella

The book I'm reading is called Twilight written by Stephenie Meyer. So far it is about a girl named Bella who recently moved from Phoenix to Grand Forks. She is a new girl at her school and doesn't know anyone yet. As she walks into school the first day, a guy named Mike greets her, knowing she is a fresh face. Mike is not the guy who sparks her interest that day. At lunch, across the cafeteria, is a whole table of pale beautiful people. One of them catches her eye. It is Edward Cullen. Although she finds him amazing, she realizes when will she ever talk to him. Luckily, her next class was Chemistry, and who other was in her class but Edward. Another thing is that she sat right next to him. For Bella, her first day went alright in the new school.
I am able to relate to going to a new school, because this year is my first year in the high school. Last year I knew everyone in my grade and almost everyone at my school, but this year, transitioning, I only know about a sixth of the school. Then again when I walked into my classes the first day of school, I didn’t know many people in my class. The thing Bella and I have in common is that we both didn’t have any of our good friends in our classes, but we were able to make new friends. Even though she knew absolutely no one, in the same way, I basically didn’t know anyone in some of my classes. Being that I knew who they were but I had never talked to them or got to know them.
