(Jasper's Point of view)

It's 10th period, the last full day of school and Bella and I are hanging out in ROTC. She's so caught up in telling me about her accident in field hockey, that she doesn't notice me staring at her. She's so beautiful. I can see she doesn't believe me when I say it, so I leave subtle hints every now and then. It's our third year in high school and I can't help but relive the memories. Bella and I started out as enemies. I would cut her the eye and she would mumble about my stupid dirty blonde hair. We despised each other, but then one thing linked us together. Edward. He and I were brothers long before she was born, but she managed to squeeze her way in our hearts. We were known as the trio. It started when Edward bumped into her on the first day of middle school. They instantly connected. Turns out they even had classes together, but what's really important was that they got to know each other. They were falling for one another so it became my job to watch my brother's back. I didn't want him to get hurt. I checked her out. She was a tallish brunette who was nicely tanned, hot, and all around a sweet girl. I approved. They got more serious though. By 8th grade, they were openly flirting, holding hands and such. It was cool because I was with Alice at the time, and even though Bella, Edward and Alice had classes together, we still became tight. Alice and I were on and off and so I was bored. That's when I noticed that there was a new girl nicely dressed with her hair out. I walked up to her only to be stunned that it was Bella. I said hi but I guess she didn't want to talk. She opened her locker and she shoved me telling me to leave. I ignored her because I actually attempted to converse with her. That's when she sprayed her limited edition of Black Current Vanilla perfume on me. I was pissed. She walked away with a smirk on her lips. Bath and Body Works followed me that day. Gosh that….uuuggghhh she was so irritating. That was just the beginning though. Freshman year was the year that put us together.

FLASHBACK

"Edward! I'm so glad we have classes together!" Bella squealed. She was so anxious now that we finally made it to high school. I walked up to her and Edward to compare my schedule.

"Hey guys! So, we all have B lunch. Who's saving our table?" I flashed Keisha a dazzling smile. I'm getting her number tonight.

"I got it." Bella volunteered. Just as we were about to share summer stories, Bella got called down to the upperclassmen gym. Edward and I pouted.

"Edward, don't forget we have ROTC later. Love you. Bye Jazz." She smiled that shy smile. She needs to…

"Hey Jasper? What do you think about us?" I snickered. My brother is asking me of his opinion, this is good.

"She's great go for it man!" We did our handshake and promised to meet next period.

…..

So that day at lunch we argued. Well, more like took turns flirting with Bella.

"You are walking me to class right?" She whispered. Edward and I both took her. We were a wolf pack. Were one went the other followed. We got her to her study hall before getting to our own classes. This routine switched soon after because she was walking me and Edward to class by force getting to her own 15 minutes late.

"So Izzy, why did you say no to Edward? I thought you two were the real deal?" The heat must've rushed to her face because she turned red.

"He is great but he's in it for sex." She looked hurt. Wow. So this is what guilt feels like? I was always in it for sex because I didn't see the point in love. Not that I went around sleeping with girls. Mostly just made out with them.

"No he's not like that. It's just that a man has needs." Hmm, I could use that in a poem.

"So do young women." I hugged her and she left in a heartbeat.

"Room Attention!" ROTC class started.
