I don't own Twilight.
Ok so I was reading a story by newcomer77 and I rely liked it. (Its called Slide number 14.) And so I based my story on it. Go and read her story. I hope you like both. Mine will not be a one shot it will have chapters. And I still am working on my other story Hope has come. Please read both. It dose have some cool twists along the way. So please read.
First day of school. It had been 8 years since Nessie was born and she was physically 18. Japer and I were sitting at lunch with the rest of the family. Nessie was at school with us now along with Jacob, Leah and Seth.
The only reason the dogs came with us after we left Forks was because Jake didn't want to leave Nessie so he came with us. So his pack had to come with us as well and some of us did not like the idea mostly Rosalie. Esme was just happy to have more kids. And we all got along like siblings. Mostly getting into fights about us calling them Mutts and them replying with Blood Sucking Leaches.
I got out of my thoughts when Rosalie said that we had 10 minutes until class. Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, Leah, Bella and Nessie are passing off as Seniors, well the rest of us, Edward, Seth, Jacob and I are passing off as Juniors. I got out my schedule and saw that my next class was American History in room B227, along with Leah, Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie. Well Edward and Bella had Biology ironically enough, Nessie had art and Jake and Seth had Math.
I got my prop tray and bag and dumped the food that I didn't eat into the trash and headed out the door along with everyone else. After we went through the courtyard and in to the main hall we all split up. Leah, Emmett, Jasper, Rose and I all went up stars, and in to the classroom.
The teacher was there and he said to pick any seat and that will be are seat for rest of the year unless he moved us. So of course Jasper and I sat in the back next to each other, well Rose and Emmett sat in the seats right in front of us. And Leah sat in the middle of the room away from us.
We talked for five minutes until the bell rang. The teacher then stood up in front of the class and said, "Hi everyone and welcome to another year of school." Everyone groaned at the same time. "Oh come on now that's no way to act. I promise this class will be fun. My name is Mr. Whitlock and I'll be your history teacher."
Rosalie, Emmett and I all looked at Jasper who had sunk into his seat.
"Ok so in this class we will mostly be learning is Civil War times. Mostly because that's my favorite period of time. And not just because my great, great grand Uncle was in the war ether. Everyone in the class laughed at that except the four of us.
Jaspers hands tightened into fists as he said that and I did not blame him.
A hand shot up. At first I didn't see who it was.
"Yes dear." Our teacher said.
"Um I have a question about him." She said
"Go ahead and ask dear."
"You said that he was in the army. Well I was wondering what side he was on."
I finally figured out who asked the question and why the voice sounded so familiar it was Leah. No I wanted to shout but it was to late. Jaspers head shot up. Maybe he thought that it was a different Whitlock.
"He was a Confederate solder."
After that all of the hands in the room shot up, except for the four of us.
"Let's take roll first and then if you have a question I'll answer it." Everyone who had a hand raised lowered it. "Thank you ok Jamie Anderson."
"Here"
"Haley Burns"
"Here"
"Leah Clearwater"
"Here"
"Alice Cullen"
"Here" I said.
"Emmett Cullen"
"Here"
"Jackson Dyer"
"Here"
"Patrick Fay"
"Here"
"Sonora Gorge"
"Here"
"Jasper Hale"
"Here" Jazz said shyly looking at the table. Hands still clenched in fists.
"Rosalie Hale"
"Here"
I didn't pay attention to rest of the names because they were not important to me.
"Ok so are there any questions?"
Hands shot up like rockets again.
"Yes Miss Montenegro."
"Ok so Why did he want to Join the army?"
"Good question. You know we don't rely know why. No one in our family know. I'd have to do some research. But I will find the answer for you."
"Ok" she said.
"Because I felt like it." Jasper said under his breath.
"Mr. Hale did you say something?"
"No sir." He lied
"Sit up straight please Mr. Hale."
Jazz sat up in his chair keeping his head down. Fumbling with his fingers. He reached down for my hand and I took it willingly. I could tell that if he were still human his hand would have been sweating with nervousness. I could tell because his hand would always heat up and he would loosen his grip every once and a while like a human would when they would sweat. Only knowing this from Bella telling me.
"Next question. Yes Mr. Fay."
"What state was he's representing?"
"Texas. Mr. Dyer"
"What was his rank?"
"He was a Major."
"How high is that."
Mr. Whitlock went to the board and drew a diagram.
In order form Least to greatest bottom to top.

*Major

Sergeant
Corporal

"So majors third in command." Leah said.
"That's correct Miss. Clearwater. Mr. Howard?"
"How old was he?"
"He was 17 when he first started and he was 20 when he… Diapered. Miss. George."
"What was his name?"
"His name was Jasper Whitlock. Miss. Thomas."
"Did he have siblings?"
"Yes a sister Nicole and a brother that was born a year after he joined the army."
Jasper gowned. The bell rang good and we were free until tomorrow.
All four of us left in a hurry to get out of the class room.
"Oh My God that's freaky." Rosalie said.
"I know Jazzy are you ok? Jazz." I looked around and Jazz was gone. Edward then showed up behind me.
"Hay why is Jazz so pissed?"
"Why were did you see him?"
"Yeah he said that he was going to go wait in your car until school ended."
"Thanks." I said, leaving them to go to Jazz. "Hay Rose do you think you can tell our teacher that I had to leave early along with Jazz?"
"Yeah."
"Thanks" I said leaving to go to the parking lot to talk to Jazz.
