ok so, I was talking with a friend about Jasper's capacity to feel stuff and how that must be in a school... then I thought about Bella's first day in midnight sun and POOF!! this popped up ahah :P anyway hope you enjoy :)
Jasper's POV
It was really getting unbearable now. Two weeks without a single hunting trip. I could feel the burning sensation in my throat burn further. I would definitely have to go hunting tonight. I felt so weak. The others didn't seem to have the same problem. I tried not too think so much about it. Instead, I tried to concentrate on the feelings in the room. I rarely did this, I usually tried to block it all out but I needed to occupy my mind right now. Rosalie felt very content and happy with herself, probably thinking about how she looks today. Emmet was frustrated with something and a little impatient too. He's been feeling this way since I beat him in that wrestling match last night. He probably wanted a re-match, well he would just have to wait until after the hunting trip. I frowned again at my failure to control my thirst. I quickly went back to concentrating on everyone's feelings. Edward was bored and annoyed... but he was also worrying. Ugh, so much for being distracted. I could guess why he was worried, it was for the same reason that Alice was right now too. I hated that they felt this way about me. Worst, I hated that they needed to.
Suddenly, a gust of air sent me a wave of a girl's sent. She had stood at exactly the wrong place and had moved at the wrong time. My mouth was flowing with poison and I imagined how good it would feel to quench my thirst. They were our prey after all. Why did we even bother... I could let my true instincts take control... just this once... It wouldn't be hard, I would just walk over and lean down as if to say something. She wouldn't see it coming. I nearly stood up from the chair but I felt a jolt in my chair I looked at Edward. I immediately felt ashamed. He had seen me nearly break. And I knew that the others had noticed it too.
"Sorry." I said.
"You weren't going to do anything. I could see that." Alice had tried to sooth me. I knew it wasn't true. I was about to do it. Alice continued to try to help me.
"It helps if you think of them as people. Her name is Whitney. She has a baby sister she adores. Her mother invited Esme to that garden party, do you remember?"
It did help a little but it wasn't necessary... or maybe it was. Maybe I was that weak. Still, I could handle it now. They didn't need to treat me like some new-born.
"I know who she is." I answered curtly. I looked out the window, I didn't want to talk about this. I heard Alice sigh and get up from her chair. I hated letting her down like this. I hated being so weak. I'm not going to think about it, I thought. I went back to focusing on peoples feelings, but staying away from those of my family, I didn't want to feel their pity.
Human emotions, especially teenager ones, were more chaotic, never in agreement. I was suddenly overwhelmed with feelings of wonder and curiosity. Ah, the new girl. She was staring at us too, this aught the be interesting. I noticed Edward turned to look in her direction but then turned back to face us. He felt bored so I guess nothing that interesting was happening.
"Jessica Stanley is giving the new Swan girl all the dirty laundry on the Cullen
clan." He said and I heard Emmet chuckle. "Rather unimaginative, actually. Just the barest hint of scandal. Not an ounce of horror. I'm a little disappointed."
This is how it was with Edward. He would have a conversation with one of us and the others would only hear one side of it. It became really annoying at times but right now I didn't really mind. Emmet had probably just asked what the rumors where. He loved how everyone feared him and he always laughed at the new theories.
Edward felt slightly frustrated and even uncomfortable, that was new. I wondered what he was hearing. He was staring at the new girl now. I almost smiled at the possibilities, she wouldn't be the first to fall for Edward. I looked out the window again, bored. But then Edward felt uneasy and was getting more frustrated. What was going on? He was still staring at the new girl. But then he turned away and smiled slightly but he still felt frustrated and then... protective? I couldn't make sense of any of this. His frustration continued to grow. I mentally asked what was wrong but he just continued to stare at the new girl. He continued to feel frustrated and even confused. My curiosity was getting the best of me. I was about to ask him out loud what was going on but Rosalie spoke first.
"Shall we?"
Edward immediately felt relief but the irritation was still there.
"So, is the new one afraid of us yet?" Emmet asked. Good, maybe he'll explain what's been going on. But Edward didn't answer. We all stood up and went to our separate classes. I would have to ask him latter. At least this provided a distraction. Maybe it would help me make it threw the rest of the day.
