At lunch and in breaks between classes she hoped to finish the book in time for the release of the movie of the same name, "The Twilight Saga: New Moon," in theaters today.
Districtwide, San Bernardino middle and high school students could barely contain their excitement that the second movie in the Twilight series had finally arrived on the big screen.
"Girls like romance and being in love and I like that the main character falls in love with a vampire," said Williams.
"New Moon" is the second movie based on one of the four Twilight novels penned by Stephenie Meyer.
In this installment, Bella Swan, played by Kristen Stewart, is upset after breaking up with the vampire she loves, Edward Cullen, played by Robert Pattinson.
To try and forget, she seeks comfort in her friendship with Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) who is in actuality a werewolf.
Students were not the only ones counting down the minutes Thursday. People of all ages started lining up early to see the movie at the Krikorian Premiere Theaters in Redlands and other Inland Empire locations.
Indeed, the series is so popular that the books fly off the shelves of libraries in San Bernardino City Unified School District schools.
Teenage girls around the same age as Bella are particularly drawn to the books, which have a message of both romance and abstinence.
San Gorgonio student Denise Morales, 15, said she was eager to see the movie because she has a big crush on Jacob.
"I think he is so cute and I can't wait to see the movie to find out what happened where the last one left off," she said.
