Right. So. Random idea. I hope you like it. My first story.

I don't own Twilight, ect...

I'm gonna try to improve the length of my chapters, but tell me if it's too short!

Enjoy!

Summary; She had a super power and a bad temper. It didn't work on him. See how Jasper finds love in a human who can stop and start time.

He knew that she was his mate from the moment he saw her in the school cafeteria, on his very first day. Well, he had been to that school before, several times in fact, but it was the first day that it actually meant anything.

She had choppy hair that reached her shoulders, which was cut in odd places and was what Alice would call a fashion disaster. But it worked. It was dyed blonde (her brown roots showed at the top quite obviously) and was almost as pale as her skin. A perfectly diagonal fringe hung across her forehead, the longest side finishing just above her left eyebrow. It looked... Different. It was pulled back off her face in an almost 40s fashion by a navy bandanna the same colour as her large eyes.

Thick round glasses rested on her nose as she looked over the top of them around the white-waled cafeteria. Her eyes were amplified by thick black eyeliner, her plump limps exaggerated by red lipstick. She wore no foundation or blush - the paleness suited her. She had several piercings. In her nose, cheeks and all down her ears. A bag hung loosely from her shoulder, with a picture from a black-and-white Vampire film, saying "Dracula; The Damned And The Beautiful". Two drum sticks poked through the top of the bag, worn and chipped from avid use. Black jeans hugged her short but thin legs, a blue Oasis shirt tightly showed off her slender but curvy torso, and navy Doc Martins clunked across the floor as she walked to the food line.

She had noticed the Cullens - Everyone had - and wasn't particularly bothered by their sudden appearance. They were all in couples, besides from a fairly lonely looking blonde boy, and seemed quite happy to stick to their own bubble. Not that a girl like Jessica Stanley would understand such a thing.

"Hey," Jessica said nasally, walking up the table the new family had adopted. "I'm Jessica. But you should already know that already."

The blonde girl passed Jessica as she said this, an apple in her hand from the school kitchens (anything actually made there would give you food poisoning, so she stuck to fruit), and snorted loudly at the curly-haired girl's remark. Jessica's heard snapped toward her, glaring.

"Did you just snort at me, Harri?"

The blonde girl straightened back and turned towards Jessica, using her right hand to adjust her glasses. "Harriet." She corrected, a little bitter. "And yes, I did. You sounded ridiculous."

"Not as ridiculous as you look in that shirt."

Harriet rolled her eyes. "Brilliant comeback." She said, shaking her head as she started to walk away. As she turned, one of her drum sticks slid from her bag and clattered to the ground. Jasper could feel her irritation as she leaned to pick it up. Jessica beat her to it and childishly held it above her head. Jessica may have been small, but Harriet was a little smaller. She'd have to jump to reach it, and didn't fancy the humiliation.

"You are so fucking childish, Jessica." Harriet said, lifting her chin as she glared. "Hand it over."

Jessica ignored her, starting to speak in her annoying voice. "You don't even need this. We all know you're shit on the drums anyway. You might as well give me the other one and let me burn them."

Harriet's fists clenched by her side.

"At least I have a hobby other than fucking boys in the school toilets."

"At least I'm not a virgin."

Harriet looked at her incredulously. "In what way is that an insult."

"Because no one wants you." That seemed to really, genuinely hurt her. She flinched as if someone had moved to hit her, and she swallowed hard. Waves of anger and pain smothered Jasper, and he struggled to contain it as he watched. His body ached to stand up and take her into his arms. No one should feel that pain. Certainly not her. The apple she had been holding fell to ground with a thud, completely forgotten.

Suddenly the air felt almost electric. Her eyes seemed to flash, and everyone in the room froze, as a pained gasp moved from her lips. Jasper looked around curiously, and noticed that a boy had dropped his can of Coke. It was mid-air, the fizzy liquid hovering as it spilt from it. Jasper glanced at the clock. And waited. The seconds didn't tic by. The time didn't move. He looked back at Harriet in shock. She was doubled over, hands on her knees, breathing hard. She looked up at Jessica, who was frozen with the drumstick in one hand, stretched up high.

Jasper watched as Harriet finally moved, plucking the can from the air as she walked back over to Jessica, dragging a chair behind her. She hadn't noticed the blonde Cullen.

She hopped up onto the chair and tugged the drumstick from Jess's hand, putting the coke in it's place, and tilted it downward so that the liquid would pour all over the poor girl.

Resuming her original position, time continued, and Coke splashed down onto Jessica's makeup caked face.

Jasper remained frozen, shocked at what he had seen. Jessica squealed and dropped the can, cursing loudly.

"You really ought to work on those reflexes, Jessica." Harriet said calmly, turning to walk away, twirling the stick in her hand.

"I'll get you for that, Harriet Hyde!" Jessica screeched, stamping down on the now empty Coke can.

"Whatever." Harriet called lazily, her anger depleted completely as she left the cafeteria.

Jasper sat for a moment, completely stunned.

"Did you see her move?" Alice asked, wide eyed. Rosalie shook her head.

"No. That can was just suddenly there."

"Do you think she's... Like us?" Emmett asked, hushed.

"Well she isn't a Vampire," Edward reasoned, "But she certainly isn't normal. It's impossible for us to have missed her moving to take the stick if she's just a human."

Jasper suddenly jumped to his feet, heading off in the direction Harriet had. His family called after him, but he ignored them as he pushed open the door. Heading outside, he followed the girl's scent until he reached the small seating area outside - it was deserted apart from her, and all of the wooden seats were damp from rain. Beside that, she had perched herself onto one of the tables, oblivious to Jasper's silent arrival.

He had to confront her straight away. This wasn't something he could ignore.

"I.. I saw what you did in there."

Harriet's gaze snapped to him, and she climbed down from the table gracefully. She stepped closer to him, laughing lightly.

"Oh, you're Jasper Hale, right? She had that coming. It's not a big deal."

"No... Not with the can." He was watching her carefully, his eyes taking in every detail of her face. She was beautiful. To him, she surpassed Rosalie's looks easily.

Her expression turned confused, and he could feel her wariness.

"I saw what you did."

"Wait, what do y-?"

"I saw you stop time."

So I dived straight into that, and let Jazzy confront her straight away. Assumed he wouldn't wait, because they would have to treat Harriet like a threat at first if she did have an ability, and Jasper knows that she does. There is no logical reason for him being able to move whilst time is paused.

I hope you liked this.
