**AN - Hi. My name's Gabi. I write a few different fan fictions, and wanted to post them on here and see how people like them. If you all do, letting me know would be great. I'm going to be posting from five different stories: Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, Jackson Rathbone, Jasper Hale, and xOC. If positive comments come in, I'll continue the stories. If you don't like them, please let me know because I will certaintly remove them if people don't want to read them. Thank you for taking the time to read this. =]
I sighed as I walked through Forks High on my first day of school. Everyone was staring at me. I couldn't believe that my parents had moved me here, to Forks, Washington, after living in NYC my whole life. Can you say big difference?
My style reflected where I had come from. My rainbow converse stood out here, but fit in perfectly in my old school. I was also wearing black skinny jeans and a green button up shirt. The green shirt was covering my black cami. Even in NYC, I had stood out. My mom was from Houston, Texas, and my dad from London, England. My hair was long, dark, and perfectly straight reaching my mid-back with my side swept bangs almost always hanging in my face. I was taller than the common 17 year old, towering over them at 6 feet even. I was never a freak, but always seemed to be looked up to. (In more ways than one. Ha.) I've been told my eyes look like the sea, blue gray with the slightest hints of green when the light caught them just right. My record showed my straight a's every year since kindergarten, and most people said my personality was as flawless as my grades.
By the way, my name's Amethyst Emerald Ashford. Amethyst because my mom was born in February, so my mom put amethyst first. I was named Emerald because my dad was born in May. Ashford became my last name because, well, I assume that you can piece it together. My friends mostly call me Em, but my best friends called me Amy, in a bantering fashion.
I sighed and turned my IPod up louder. I had always been stared at, and this was nothing new. I looked at my Nano and switched the song to Hot 'N Cold by Katy Perry. I closed my eyes as I let my feet lead me to the office. I was just getting to the chorus for the second time when I ran into something cold and hard. I snapped my eyes open, and noticed I had run into a person. Whoops.
"Hey. You ok?" I asked, playing with my New York and Southern accents into a very weird twang accent.
The guy looked down at me surprised. Yeah, down. This guy was like…. 6'3" or something. "Yeah. Thanks."
I heard his accent that everyone on the Olympic Peninsula had. "It's cool. By the way, I'm… Amethyst, but call me Em, please."
The guy shot me an inquisitive look. "I'm Edward Cullen. Why Em?"
I sighed, thinking of how many times I would have to answer this question today. "Because my middle name's Emerald, and I prefer that to Amethyst."
Edward smirked as he looked me over once. "Your parents into gemology?"
I rolled my eyes and muttered under my breath, "Something like that."
Edward laughed. "Hey, Bell, Em, Rose, Jazz, Al, come over here. I have someone I want you to meet."
A girl with short black hair danced over, beating everyone else. "Please, Ed, can you not call me Al? Why not Lice? (Pronounced like lis) I hating going by a guy name."
Edward rolled his eyes. "Ok, ok. Oh, and here's everyone else."
This really strong guy came up to me and held his hand out. "Hi, I'm Em, or Emmett."
I noticed Edward smirk behind Emmett. "Hi, I'm Em or Amethyst."
Emmett laughed at me. "Nice to meet you, Em."
"Likewise."
The girl with black hair danced up to me. "I'm Alice, or Lice. What ever works for you."
I shook her hand. "Lice. I like it."
Everyone laughed as a girl with blonde hair walked up to me. "Hi, I'm Rosalie, or Rose."
I shook her hand and nodded in acknowledgement. The only girl left walked up. "I'm Bella."
She spoke so quietly I almost missed it. I smiled at her and accepted her outstretched hand. I noticed that her hand was warm compared to mine which felt cool… From the handshakes with the Cullen's… Weird. But Bella didn't seem to think anything of it, and walked back to Edward. The only one that was left walked up to me…
Good God.
He was just about 6'3", seemed muscular, but obviously lean, purple circles under his eyes… I looked at the Cullen's… They all had the same dark rings that he had. I wonder why… But they also all had dark golden eyes. But this guy… He had a really unusual affect on me. He made my breath catch, and my heart skip a beat. Then, he smiled.
I swear, I couldn't tell if God sent him here to be my own personal hell keeper, or for me because maybe we had a chance in some way.
"Nice to meet you." His accent was obviously southern, and seemed to be from around the same place as my mother's. "I'm Jasper, or Jazz, Hale. I'm Rosalie's twin."
I snapped back into reality. "But Edward said his last name was Cullen, and you all look so much alike…"
I noticed a light grimace on Jasper's face. "We were all adopted by Carlisle Cullen. Rosalie and I are twins and kept our last names, while everyone else took up Carlisle's and Esme's last name."
I nodded, not really taking any of this in. I looked down at my IPod, which had switched songs on me, and looked back up. By this point, everyone else was gone except for me and Jasper. I looked at Jasper, and he rolled his eyes. For a second, I thought about where everyone had gone and how they were gone so fast. My thoughts centered around this before Jasper's voice entered my head.
"Come on, I'll walk you to the office. By the way, where're all of your books?"
I sighed as we started walking. "My dad dropped them off yesterday so I wouldn't lose them on my way to school. Ever since I got my license, my dad's been treating me like a baby. It's even worse than it was before."
Jasper groaned sympathetically. "That's horrible."
I sighed. "Tell me about it."
"So, what're you doing here? From your accent, I can't decide if you're from the south or New York."
"Somewhere in the middle. My mom's from Houston, and I'm from NYC."
"Ah. I'm from Houston myself, I should've recognized it."
We began discussing anything and everything as we continued our leisurely stroll to the office. All too soon, the office was in sight.
"Thanks for walking me, Jasper. I think I can get everything from here." I said, leaning against the door frame.
Jasper gave me another blinding smile. "Sure. I'll see you at lunch? You can sit with me and my family."
I smiled. "That sounds nice. I'll see you later."
Swiftly, Jasper leaned in and gently kissed my cheek. "Until then, Amethyst." - I breezed into the office. Wow, had he really just kissed me?
