(This is my FIRST ever Twilight story, also my first story posted on THIS website. So, please read and review)
I sat in the back of my first period Spanish class not really paying attention. Which was probably a bad thing to do in a class that was known to be very talkative. I was completely concentrated on one thing and one thing alone... Edward.
"Señorita Isabella. Te gustaría hablar por teléfono con tus amiga Courtney todos los días?" asked Señor Jose
I sat there for a minute not comprehending what he had just said to me. The entire classes attention was transferred to me. Quietly sitting in the back corner of the classroom Courtney; who sat in front of me turned around and gave me a look that just screamed " You should know what he said. Pay more attention."
"Do you like to talk on the phone with me every night?" Courtney whispered
"Me gustaría escuch...hablar por teléfono con mis amiga Courtney todos los días." I said semi-confidently.
Señor Jose looked at me for a moment as if trying to understand what I had just replied. "...okay..."
After our little conversation (if you could call it that) ended I completely toned the class out. I kept thinking about "him". I sat in my desk and doodled on a piece of paper. When the end of first period bell rang I looked down at the paper to see what I drew and smiled. In the center of the paper a big heart with the words "Edward and Bella" was nesseled. Smaller hearts scattered through the rest of the pages as well as the words Edward and Bella in early 1900's scroll. One thing caught my eye thoug; in the upper right hand corner the words " Emmett and Bella" sat in the middle of a heart with wings. I tried to remember drawing it, but the bad thing was... I couldn't remember drawing ANYTHING. I just remembered letting the pencil take over. I didn't intend to draw anything; it just happened.
"Why?" I asked myself. "Why?"
I got up from my desk and ran to my locker. I shoved the paper into my purse...which Alice had graciously FORCED me to carry. When I got to my locker I saw Edward who stood next to my locker with a small smile on his face.
"Bella, what took you so long?" He asked.
" Huh? Oh, I was zoned out for a while after the bell rang."
He looked at me suspiciously but let it slide. Edward took my books from me and with vampire speed put my books from my first period into my locker, took out my second period US History book and binder, and put them into my arms. Sadly, my second period class was an all girls class...why; i don't know. So again, just like my first period...no Edward. I needed Edward around me, so I could get my head off that stupid heart in the corner. It was weird because I don't even know why it bothered me in the first place. One thing was certain though, it got my attention.
I looked over at Edward as we walked around the corner something was off. Normally, he held my hand, put his arm around me, kissed me before we left my locker. Today he wasn't. He was worrying me; and I didn't like that feeling. Just as I was contemplating that over in my head I noticed he was starting to talk.
" Bella, I know we had plans for you to come over today, but I really need to go hunt. So could you come over tomorrow possibly?"
" But you just went hunting." I knew he went hunting on Sunday. He always goes on Sunday's, never any other day.
" I know but you're blood has been getting to me recently."
" ...Oh. Well okay. I'll just hang out with Alice then. Maybe let her buy me a new wardrobe or something. I think I need a new look anyway." I looked up at Edward, he seemed to be holding something back. That much I knew. He just wasn't acting right. Something was up with him... I mean, it could be my blood, but was that all that was bothering him?
" She'd like that. I know she would." With that he kissed my forehead and ran (human pace) to his second period.
I walked into my second period in a daze. I walked to a desk in the back, pulled out my little paper that I doodled on earlier and just stared. When Renee was in one of her "phases" she read a book about feeling things subconsciously. Was it possible that I have some kind of hidden feelings for Emmett? No, I couldn't that would be ridiculous. With that I folded the paper and tried to concentrate on something diffrent. I didn't pay attention to my class though. I saw that the projector was on so I knew we were just taking notes. Nothing very important. I wondered what made me think of Emmett in mindless doodling, I remained lost in thought until...
"Ms. Swan...Ms. Swan... ISABELLA.!" yelled the teacher.
"wh..huh?"
"Gather your stuff. You've been signed out by Jasper Hale." She gestured towards the door where Jasper stood leaning against the door frame. A sligh smile etched into his perfect features. I was actually surprised he came to get me...whatever the reason was as to why he came to get me.
"Oh." with that I rose from my seat, grabbed my things and walked to the door.
I looked at Jasper as I made my way towards him. He smiled at me, and that got me thinking. Maybe I could get him away from Edward and talk to him about the whole situation.
"Hey Jasper whats up?" I asked
" Nuttin much...Oh, I guess I need to clue you in. Don't I..? Well, Alice had a vision that confused her; and I will not elaborate. So, she decided we all needed some time away so she planned for you, me, Emmett, Rosalie (though she said something about wanting to go to Paris.) and herself of course to go to New York City. Edward wanted to go to least that's what he said." As Jasper was talking I could tell he was editing. i now knew something was definitely up.
Jasper and I arrived to my locker and I flung my books into it so all I had was my purse. We walked down the halls, down the main staircase and out the front door. He then led me to a very stylish black Ferrari where he opened my door for me.
"Thanks." I said as I got in.
"No problem."
He was around the car and in the driver seat starting the car by the time I was buckled in. We were driving down the main highway and passing the Welcome to Forks sign when I first thought of Charlie.
"Does Charlie know-"
"Alice called Charlie yesterday and asked him. He said it was a good idea due to the fact that you were going to get bored of dreary old Forks sooner or later. Alice didn't tell him it was going to be cloudy the whole trip." Jasper looked away from the road and smiled at me.
"How long are we staying in New York City anyway?"
"We are staying for two weeks. Then Alice said something about LA. I personally don't want to go to LA but whatever. What Alice wants..Alice gets. You know that." Jasper said with a slight chuckle.
"So why isn't Edward coming? The longest he goes hunting is one day; maybe two. Another thing, why is he going hunting in Alaska? Why couldn't he of went yesterday and came with us today?" I realized my voice sounded with anger in it.
"Hunting? That's what he told you?" An astonished look on his face.
"what do you mean? Did he lie?"
"well.."
"Jasper."
Lucky for Jasper his phone rang just as he was about to answer. He snapped open the phone so I decided to listen in on the one side of the conversation that I could hear.
"Hello?"
"Five minutes ago."
"Who is going?"
"Oh, so its just us and him then.?"
"okay."
"Talking."
"What do you think?"
"I think so." I noticed how he stressed the I.
"Yes."
"Its not the right time."
"Because.."
"Alice I have to go. Her emotions are going crazy."
"Ya, you too."
"Uh huh. bye"
His phone shut with a snap and he looked over at me. He pulled over to the side of the road and grabbed both of my hands in his. I looked at him in confusion. What the hell is he doing? He smiled and closed his eyes. I suddenly felt the feeling of calmness just wash over me. His eyes opened up and he smiled again. I noticed he didn't talk a lot but he sure did smile though. I smiled back at him but I was still determined to find out what was going on. No matter how many times he played with my emotions.
" Jasper, where is everyone else?"
"Alice left after first period to go pack her clothes, my clothes, and she went to pack your "good clothes"." He paused. "Then Rosalie decided to go to Paris, but Emmett is going with us... He doesn't really like Paris all that well. I don't really blame him though...and as you know Edward is going to Alaska."
"Well, okay."
Jasper pulled back out on the road, smoothly gliding along the empty two-lane road. I looked at the speedometer and it said Jasper was going a fast 100 mph. I couldn't even tell; his driving is so smooth. He doesn't jerk you everywhere, when pulling out onto the road. For the next few hours we were both quiet, I was watching the landscape change as we went by. We had turned on music somewhere along the road but i wasn't sure who turned it on. I looked over at Jasper and wondered if I should ask him now about what was going on.
"Jasper tell me whats really going on."
I didn't care if he was a vampire that could manipulate emotions, I wasn't going to budge on the subject. I had questions and I wanted answers.
" What do you mean?" He asked.
" It's Edward isn't it?"
"Yes."
(A/N... So,this is my first story here on Fanfiction. Also my first Twilight story EVER. So, for a new be how did I do so far? was it good was it bad? Also would any of you mind to tell me any places in New York City that Alice could drag Bella to? I have a few places in mind, but it couldn't hurt to get some other options. Anyway please review.)
