Summary- An all-human romance tale of the meeting between Bella Swan and Jasper Whitlock. OOC- that's your second warning which means I'm serious. =D
He twirled the pencil between long fingers with a deep sigh. If this class went on any longer, he was pretty sure he would scream. Loudly. Plus side being he'd get out of class...downside being his friends would taunt him mercilessly about having a nervous breakdown in the middle of literature class. He couldn't help it- Shakespeare had that effect on him. The pencil twirled a final time before being used to tucked a lock of blond hair behind his ear. Maybe a haircut was in order...it was getting a bit long...there was probably a school dance coming up he didn't care about going to. Or hey, maybe he could finally dye it black with that blue streak he had contemplated a couple months ago. If his friends were going to call him emo there was no real sense in not giving them a better reason than 'because I can'. Ah well. The class door swung open slowly breaking him from his thoughts, and brown eyes peeked in tentatively before a new girl entered the room.
The teacher looked up with a warm smile, hand gesturing her inside. "Welcome! We just started discussing Shakespeare's beginnings, but you haven't missed much. Please introduce yourself and take the free seat."
She smiled with a slight nod. "That sounds good. My name is Bella Swan, I just moved back into the area."
"Fantastic!" the teacher replied with another smile. "How long have you been away from Forks, Bella?"
"Um..." she bit her lip in thought before shrugging. "It's probably been five or six years."
"Where did you move back from?"
"Phoenix, Arizona. Where it seems a tad drier." she smiled a little more brightly as the teacher chuckled.
"Agreed. Well thank you for humoring me a few moments Bella. Please take your seat."
"Yes sir. Would you like my sign in sheet now or later?" she held up the half slip of paper with a little flourish.
"Forgive my manners, my name is Mr. Varner. And after class would be fine Bella, thank you." Mr. Varner smiled, extending a hand into the classroom.
Bella slid quietly into the room, catching her boot toe on one of the chair legs halfway back. She stumbled slightly with a good natured chuckle before smiling slightly at the tall blond in the second to last row who was watching her with cocked head, a pencil tucked behind his ear. She sat down to his right as he pulled the pencil from behind his ear, taking notes. Bella tossed her black and neon green tote bag next to her seat, pulling her literature book, notebook and mechanical pencil from within it's depths.
Her brown eyes slid quickly around the room before landing on the tall blond beside her once more. Her eyes started at the toes of one well worn black lace up boot, scuffed toe peeking out from under the faded slightly baggy blue jeans. A silver wallet chain hung at his hip, danging over the edge of his seat. He had on a snug black tshirt and rope necklace with a silver charm decorating the end. She couldn't quite make out what it was from here. One silver hoop earring decorated his upper earlobe, just glancing out from the collar length blond locks. His chin rested on one fist, eyes slightly glazed over before he felt her stare. His lips quirked just a bit, one eyebrow arching her direction before he scribbled in the corner of his notes, ripping it from the book, sliding it onto her notebook. Bella slid the slip closer before arching an eyebrow at his scrawl. 'My name's Jasper. I can pass you a picture if you think it'd help.' There was a smiley face after the statement. She could see him grinning, chin still on his hand, pencil tapping a staccato against the notebook.
She turned her head slightly, rolling her eyes before rubbing her forehead with her middle finger. She heard a ghost of a chuckle before she scribbled quickly, sending it back. 'Oddly enough, I think I'll be okay without one Jasper. Nice to meet you.' She signed this with another smile, passing it back. Bella could still feel his smile before both turned back to face the teacher who was in full English accent mode, getting well into his lesson.
End Prologue Chapter
Author's Notes- Hi everyone! Thanks so much for reading the prologue. This is my first go at Twilight fanfic (and my first fanfic period in...an embarrassing number of years. Lol...let's say 2006). I love the Jasper-Bella pairings but I'm unsure how to approach it in the typical Twilight-Vampire world. So I'll settle for all human stuff until I decide. :) I have warped the characters to my own vision- Bella will not be a damsel in distress constantly- needy female leads are draining. :) I hope you like the quick prologue!
