Intro. The Untouchable of Forks: Solitude in Silver and Marble Edward Cullen didn't walk through the halls of Forks High School; he walked through them like a vision that didn't belong in that setting of metal cabinets and worn-out linoleum. With his 1.88m height, he had an elegance that bordered on the supernatural. To the girls in town, he was the most eligible bachelor, a gold trophy that no one could even touch. To the boys, he was an annoying enigma, a competitor who didn't have to work hard to win. The Wealth That Silenced The Cullen fortune was a constant subject at the Forks' dinner tables. Everyone saw the impeccable silver Volvo parked in the yard, a car that cost more than the sum of all the other vehicles around. They saw the finely woven clothes, the tailored cuts that shaped his sculptural body, and the way he never seemed to repeat a piece. But Edward's money was not good for flaunting; It served to drive away. His wealth was a wall.
