Chapter 1
I was starting my Junior Year high school. My mom and I just moved to Forks 3 weeks ago so I am the new girl in school. Great.
My mom is a doctor and got a promotion at work, so that meant we had to move here. She was all for the idea. Me? Not so much.
It's one thing to move at the beginning of the year, but in Junior High? I might as well jump off a cliff now.
But thank god I am not the only new girl at school. At least someone else has to share the burden that comes with being in a new school.
My mom was ecstatic when she heard that I wasn't going to be the only new girl. You're going to be best friends she said, your gonna bond she said. Well I sure hope so.
My mom dropped me off at school, basically speeding down the highways because she was late for work.
"Love you, bye" She said, not even looking at me as she began to reverse the car before I barely got out.
"Love you too mom." I said, taking out my vanilla chapstick from my bag and applying it on my lips, while walking towards the school.
I only stopped when I saw a ratty old truck pulling up into the parking lot and a almost translucent girl got out.
I quickly learned she was new too when I saw everyone whispering to each other as she got out.
Being braver than usual, taking a deep breath, I walked up to her and decided we should be friends.
"Hi." I said, smiling at her as we walked.
"Hey." She said walking a little slower so I could keep up with her.
"I'm Josephine Baker, but you could call me Josie." I said, still smiling and showing my bright, straight teeth.
"I'm Isabella Swan, but please just call me Bella." She said smiling slightly now.
"Isn't it so weird being the new kid?" I said, trying to make conversation.
"Yeah it is. They won't stop staring, It's like they haven't seen new kids in years." he said now fully looking at me, making it easier for me to examine her.
She was extremely pretty with her long dark brown hair which helped frame her heart shaped face, full pink lips and deep brown eyes. And her being pale made her features really show.
"I know right. Like I'm just a regular person, hello? I'm not Michael Jackson." I said making us both laugh as we got to our lockers, which were across from each other's.
As we put our stuff away we heard the bell ring for class and quickly got out our schedules that were mailed to us a week ago.
"What do you have first?" I asked her with my schedule in hand.
"Spanish. What about you?" She asked looking at me
"Looks like I have Biology. Ugh" I replied, groaning. I have a headache already and they give me this?
"Aw man. It would have been nice to know somebody in there." Bella said pouting slightly making me giggle.
"Well, we have lunch together so… I'll see you there." I said making hand guns at her before turning to the Spanish classroom.
It was lunch and I was sitting at a table with Bella, Mike, Angela, and Eric. They all seemed nice but there was a girl named Jessica who I didn't like. She seems fake and jealous, but Bella likes her so I won't say anything about her, for now.
I was simply eating an red apple when I saw Bella staring at something. I swiftly followed her gaze to see a group of people walk in. They were fucking gorgeous.
Two had blonde hair and two had brown. They looked like they were gliding.
"Who are they?" I heard Bella ask.
"The Cullen's" Jessica answered
"Dr. and Mrs. Cullen's foster kids, they moved down here from Alaska a few years ago" Jessica continued picking at her salad.
"They mostly keep to themselves." Angela said, biting into an apple.
"Yeah, because they're all together. Like together together." Jessica said empathizing together. "Like the blonde girl Rosalie, she's with the big dark haired guy, Emmett. They're like a thing. I'm not even sure that's legal."
"Jess, they're not actually related." Angela said rolling her eyes and chewing on her apple.
"Yeah, but they live together. It's weird." Jessica said then pointing to a short pixie haired girl with a blonde-haired boy. It looked like they were dancing.
"That's Alice. She's really weird. And the blonde guy that looks like he's in pain, that's Jasper. There together, too."
"She looks like a little pixie!" I said, smiling at Alice as she gracefully walked over to her table.
I swear I saw her smile as she sat down making me giggle and turn around and grab my apple from my plate.
"Who's he?" I heard Bella ask again as I once again followed her gaze to see a tall light brown haired boy walk across the room to the Cullen's table.
"That's Edward Cullen." Jessica said not even looking up as she took a bite out of her salad.
"He's totally gorgeous, obviously. But apparently, no one here is good enough for him." She said her tone now bitter.
"Sounds like you've been turned down quite a number of times." I said bluntly still looking at him as he sat down smirking.
I didn't bother acknowledging Jessica's gasp and Angela's giggle as I saw Jasper staring at me from the corner of my eye.
I trained my eyes on him as I started smiling at him flashing my bright straight, teeth. But I soon started blushing as I saw him smirk at me then start talking to Alice.
Then I heard the bell go off and I took one final bite of my apple and threw it in the garbage across the room and pumping my fist in the air. Score.
Then I got my stuff and went to history.
Jasper's POV
She was beautiful. If I had breath it would have been taken away.
From her curly hair to her mixed tan skin to her beautiful smile. She was just beautiful.
"Jasper, are you okay." Alice asked me as she put a hand on my shoulder.
"I'm just fine." I said smiling down at her. Alice and I had a long history together.
We use to date but after a while we realized that we should just be friends when she had a vision about my mate being born.
"You're doing great today, by the way. I'm proud of you." She said patting my arm before grabbing my hand. "Now come on before we are late to class."
I sat in the back of the history class pretending to look over the notes I had seen a hundred times already.
Then I smelt it. The most beautiful scent that I had ever came across. She was here.
I quickly looked up and saw her. With her curly hair reaching a little past her shoulders and her hat sitting in the middle of her head.
She was beautiful. She is beautiful. I will say those words for the rest of my days.
"Hi. Is this seat taken?" she said bringing me out of my thoughts
"No." I said breathing in deeply.
"Thanks." She said smiling at me. I just wanted to take a picture and keep it forever.
"I'm Josephine. But you can call me Josie." She said still smiling.
"I'm Jasper" I said holding my hand out to her.
I felt her shiver slightly at the lack of warmth in my hands. But she brushed it off and pulled away, taking her notebook out and listening to the lesson as I stared at her trying to memorize her facial features.
Too soon for me the bell rang and she got up and got her stuff.
"I hope to see you again soon, Jasper. Good day." She said smiling and walking out making me smile and leave as well.
