Seriously
Author's note: Its Jasper's POV and Bella's too. I thought of mentioning both! As a writer I am very much new and hope everyone will cooperate. I found this problem that sometimes things are so clear to me that I don't bother to mention some details of the story. If you think it's confusing, please inform. Thanks you all for reading it and thank you Trish for being my Beta!
"Seriously?" I heard Alice's chirping from downstairs; sometimes my high-powered hearing pisses me off, as I can't have a quiet moment in my room. So, it simply distracted me from my long-awaited peace-time, I wonder how they can act so normal, while the truth is we are far away from normal…
Climbing down the stairs, I listened to the problem, which caused the fuss. Apparently Edward's mind-reading wasn't working; I wish it was true as I always went far away just to think let alone talking because of his mind-reading capabilities. Yes, I was pretending to be someone I was not, but what could I do, aren't we all pretending?
"Who's this girl?" Rosalie mouthed as I suggested nonchalantly, "Let's hunt her if she is causing you so big problem". I thought my slight comment would match the normal-life they are trying to have but suddenly noticed that every eye in the room was on me. I got the vibe of danger from every heart. Yes, yet another problem of being an Emotion report guy! So I stood there, pretending to be a statue.
It's been ten years with the Cullen family and it feels as if they have always been my family. However, everyone is very talented and kicks the hell out of my life. Like Edward always informs Carlisle when I feel disappointed and Alice sees me killing a human whenever I plan to. As one of my supposed brother is mind-reader and the other sister is future-seer! Seriously? Could life be worse than this?
However, being a vampire….a powerful predator yourself, you can't really stop yourself from following your instincts. It's not my fault I crave for human blood…and there are others who are enjoying their human meals everyday. But I have always been taken by surprise when it comes to my family's feeding habit….as they reject Human blood to live a more cultured human life. And look at my bad luck, I have to share my victim's emotions before killing them….can't even eat in peace!
Coming back from my thoughts I heard Edward moan "See, this isn't funny Emmett that girl is extremely delicious, and when I want to hear her thoughts the most, some defect come up with my mind-reading capability!"
It was funny how everyone gathered in the living room surrounding Edward. To me it looked like a kid had problem with a girl in his class and everyone in the family gathered to resolve it. I have nothing against Edward but that's what it seemed to me like.
"What if she is some other creature blocking my abilities!" I heard Edward add.
"Well, I would like to meet her." I offered thinking about ending this stupid conversation here, "and I could check if my ability works on her!"
I felt the atmosphere of the room to become tensed again, so I quickly added "don't worry, I will be away. I will just access her emotions and see if she is an alien or something" Everyone seemed to be slightly relieved by that avoiding how mocking my words sounded!
The night passed slowly as I waited for the morning and hunted some wild boars as my brothers suggested. It wasn't like I was excited to meet this girl. Edward was just having a crush, I thought, and anyway, he is pampered too much in our family! So, I was checking out this girl in School tomorrow. Staying in a room full of blood was never liked by me, but to keep people from suspecting us, all of us had to join Forks High School.
...
Morning:
I am graduating this year but still I managed to convince the office that morning that I wanted first year trigonometry to brush up my basics. To tell the truth I WAS nervous now. Maybe he enhanced it but I did feel the craving for the girl's blood in Edward memory, which was weird. Like everyone else, Edward was very much committed to the non-human diet too, so the girl must be really tasty to make him crave it!
"Bella Swan" the wonder girl of the day had Trigonometry too. Edward informed me that Mike Newton (Bella's classmate) sat beside Bella in Trigonometry and so Edward said it was a good idea to get that place. Emmett punctured Mike's car tire which caused him to be late for the class and I took his place. Mischief was not my thing, and being the attention seeker wasn't either. It was extremely hard for me not to look at the class while I could feel their emotions: mockery, confused, agitated….everything was there. But I silently took my place where I assumed was her seat. The next moment I look up and there she was, Bella Swan.
"Bella was not a usual Girl."
Even before the scent of the blood, I get the emotion of the person near me. I have always been in an atmosphere of emotions, but this one-I never tasted. The emotion was very different, yet serene like it spread a calm fragrance. I was so absorbed that I couldn't take my eyes off of her. She looked up and I involuntary said, "May I". She nodded.
Bella POV
This Cullen boy was better than Mike for sure. I really cannot take another class having to sniff my shirt all the time though to check what smelled so bad. Yes, that's exactly how the other Cullen brother acted in Biology!
The Cullen's are supposed to be very introvert as Jessica mentioned in the cafeteria. They are all weird and very pale…I only saw them all once and started having dreams about them. Maybe because I was single at the moment, but who wouldn't want a boyfriend like…the Cullens'. I didn't understand why, but Jessica's babbling pour into my ear and I kept learning how the Cullens behaved, when they moved in Forks, how Carlisle adopted them and how Jasper was graduating this year!
I realized, he is not supposed to be here, he's graduating! I wondered why, but then the thought of Edward came up. He looked awesome but acted like a jerk! I was extremely mad about how he behaved with me previously and I felt like asking Jasper about it. But soon my attention drifted towards his honey blond curls, pale, smooth skin and muscular body. He definitely looked like a Greek God. And his pink lips…
"Isabella, could you solve this problem" the teacher asked and I quickly got out of the Cullen-Angel dilemma. Noticing Jasper's Copy, I saw how behind I was, so I quickly concentrated to catch up.
"So, how are you doing with the Cullen boys?" Jessica asked sheepishly as I met her in Literature, "Everyone is talking about how you and Jasper sat together…." Her babbling went on and I hope she didn't catch me blushing! I mean it was alright… having a crush isn't bad right?
On the other hand I didn't really see Jasper. When the bell rang, he was already gone-to where no one knows.
