Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or the characters. This is purely a work of fun I decided to create out of my love for Alice and Jasper.
Authors Notes: So please read with an open mind. Alice and Jasper are not vampires in this but I would like to keep little things that reference back to their 'vampire abilities'. I hope this doesn't disappoint and I hope you all enjoy my take on the characters. Please review with any thoughts or criticism for it's all welcomed =). The title of this story and the rest of the chapters will all be based off of songs I love and posted for you so you can look them up if you'd like:
"You Picked Me" by A Fine Frenzy
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You Picked Me
"Wednesday", she muttered to her-self, "how many must I sacrifice out of my short life before one becomes less boring than the next?"
Slow lazy grey clouds were pooling into one another to form a massive blanket over the already gloomy town of Forks. It was a pair of amber eyes that watched the occurrence, her sleep glossed eyes struggling to stay open as a teacher's words fell to deaf ears. It was like every other day, a reoccurrence Alice had yet to fall into balance with. Pouted lips quirked a bit as she spotted her yellow two door waiting for her escape in the parking lot. Her eyes rolled up to stare at the ceiling as she calculated how fast she could run out the doors and into her car without being caught by a teacher. With a sigh of defeat, Alice turned her eyes back to the collecting storm.
It was 10 minutes until the bell would be ringing when the sound of the classroom door creaking open caught her attention, bringing her back to present time. Amber brown clashed with tantalizing forest green. Seconds passed and it was the feeling of her lungs burning that had Alice realizing she was holding her breath. Full lips were turned down in pout and blonde eyebrows furrowed together, making the newcomer's face appear annoyed. Alice's own mouth, having recaptured oxygen, snapped shut and pulled into a thin line.
"Jasper Hale?" The teacher was starring at the beautiful boy with unfazed dull eyes waiting for an answer from the statuesque being. Having heard his name, Jasper turned his face away from fiery eyes to stare blankly back at the teacher. A curt nod was given as his answer. "Take your pick of seating, there's a few desks open still." The teacher's wrinkled hand pointed in the direction of the students'.
The tall blonde focused his eyes back in the direction of the eyes he had recently taken notice to, but only found a head of short dark hair. Alice's eyes trained in on her non-existent notes in an attempt to slow her rapidly beating heart. "I ask for a slight change of pace and instead I get earth shattering evidence that perfection truly does exist," her hushed tone ringing in slightly annoyed. Picking her eyes up from their oblivious state, Alice found her very own god standing right in front of the two seater lab table. 'Please no, anyone but me…' her prayer never reached its destined place as the seat next to her became filled. She turned in her chair allowing her flaming eyes to look up into the handsome face that sat next to her. She smiled a crooked grin that fell almost instantly at the sight of the frown on her newly attained partners face. His eyes boring holes into her face as if she had somehow unknowingly upset him. "Jasper Hale," he muttered in a voice that seemed inhumanly perfect, like the rest of his appearance. His large long fingered hand reached out in front of him waiting for the quiet girl to take it. Alice stared down at the offering. "You play the piano?" she spoke out the words before she fully realized what she had been saying. Closing her mouth promptly she turned back to her teacher and stared wide eyed at the chalkboard. 'Please kill me now before I do it myself,' her thoughts beating herself up over her lack of 'thinking before you speak'.
Jaspers lips twitched up into a half grin for the briefest of moments before he nodded to the girl's unseeing eyes, "I do." Alice turned her eyes to the side at the resonating sound of his answer and took in the boy from head to toe. His handsome face turned to focus in at the end of the lecture, giving Alice a breathtaking side profile view. His curly honey blond hair laid messily atop his head, obviously having been disturbed by the previous hand Alice had blatantly ignored. Her eyes continued down to the thought wrinkled forehead and golden eyebrows to focus intently on his green eyes and long lashes. A sigh escaped her small mouth as she openly was now staring at the most perfect bone structure of high cheekbones and chiseled jaw she had ever seen. His full lips were parted to allow air to freely flow. It was almost a struggle to pull her eyes away from the perfect face down to a pale long neck that connected to his lean and long torso which was covered by a dark grey T-shirt, some form of a crest necklace laying neatly atop. Alice's own face and neck blushing furiously as she lowered her eyes down his tight stomach to check out his dark blue jean clad thighs that fit inside the article of clothing perfectly, and finally ending at black converse covered feet. She'd never found herself so unbeautiful until that moment.
It wasn't until the bell rang that she realized just how long her mind had been preoccupied. Jasper stood up from his chair, grabbing his black JanSport backpack, which he effortlessly swung over his shoulder. He was about to begin his descent when a small, but musical voice stopped him. "Alice Brandon!" It was the girl he had sat next to, her voice, a little louder than necessary, answering his previously unanswered question. Jasper turned his neck to allow himself to see her face before tipping his head in a courteous Southern way, a friendlier mask set in place of his previous moody one. "You can borrow my notes if you need help catching up," she smiled holding up a notebook with blank pages open. "Well... Maybe not today's notes, but I promise my notes from the other days do exist!" her bright smile and nervous eyes warmed Jasper inwardly with their innocent offering of friendship hidden behind them. He let out a short deep chuckle and nodded in acceptance. His eyes locked on her own for the last time, their depth swallowing her and reading her like a book. She swallowed hard and nervously turned away from him to gather her own belongings up. Jasper turned back to his previously disrupted action of leaving the classroom and headed out to his black sports bike.
Back in the almost empty classroom, Alice was finding it hard to comprehend what had just happened. 'He looked at me like he was searching for something inside of me… Like he was trying to figure me out or something…' Chills ran down her spine as she replayed his image over and over in her mind, wanting to memorize everything about this person who would surely develop into her new favorite obsession.
With her belongings packed away in gold tote bag, Alice flipped her bangs away from her face and bounced out of the school with her thoughts no longer on the freedom she had been daydreaming about at the beginning of her last class. Green eyes still fresh in her mind; Alice tried to wrap her mind around the one thing she couldn't understand… 'Why me? Why would he pick me?'
