A/N: Hiiii! So this is my very first post on . I hope you like this. It's my spin on twilight. I own nothing, except for Aubrey and a few other minor characters and ideas that will later come up. Please review! I need all the help i could get. S.M. Owns twilight.
Rain isn't always a good thing. It certainly wasn't good first-day-at-a-new-school weather. Parking at her new school was crap. She was forced to park her purple Cadillac in the back of the parking lot. She looked at the front of Forks High, which had a frightening total of only 359 students. She was the new girl, and already could tell she stuck out like a sore thumb. Where she had come from, had been a place of vibrant color. Forks, Washington was a canvas of darker, more neutral colors. San Francisco had been bright. So with her long aqua colored hair, done in a classic scene style, and her bright clothes, she was going to stick out.
She gets out, and after gathering her stuff, locks her car and begins to head to the schools entrance. A few kids were standing outside. They went quite, and looked at her with much curiosity. She nods her head in their direction, acknowledging their existence without having to talk. This first day was going to be super interesting.
. . .
"Everyone, listen up!" Mr. Laurence says to the class while clapping his hands, "We have a new student joining our class today! Everyone this is Aubrey Reynolds."
Aubrey sighed. Why couldn't her teachers just let her sit down without bringing attention to her?
"She's just moved her from San Francisco California. Please make her feel welcome!"
To Aubrey Mr. Laurence said, "Aubrey you'll be in the back next to Jessica." Aubrey walked to the back of the class and set next to the girl the teacher had indicated. "Hi! I'm Jessica Stanley!" The Blonde said chirpily. "Hi, nice to meet you." Aubrey answers. "Welcome to forks! If you need anything, just let me know! Me and my friends are here to help!"Jessica says. "Thank you." Aubrey says. "I'd appreciate it."
. . .
Thanks to Jessica, Aubrey was able to get to her other classes just fine. Besides English with Mr. Laurence, she had a math class and P.E., which Jessica helped her find. She was introduced to tons of people! Apparently Jessica was popular; it felt almost as if she had introduced Aubrey to the entire school!
During lunch, Aubrey went and grabbed a sandwich from the café. She declined sitting with Jessica and her friends. She wasn't ready to hang out with so many people that she didn't really know. Aubrey went to exit the café, but her way was blocked by five people coming in while she was heading out. She backed up and moved to the side to let them in. They were all pale. Pale and beautiful. Their features were that of someone painted by a master artist. It was hard not to stare.
One of them, a tiny girl with short spiky hair, said "Sorry."Aubrey smiled at her. "It's fine."
"Wait a sec! You're new! Welcome to forks! I'm Alice Cullen."Alice says, holding out her hand. "I'm Aubrey." She answers, shaking Alice's cold hand. "And this is Bella Swan," Alice points to a lovely girl with mahogany colored hair, "And her Boyfriend and My brother Edward," Edward was tall with bronze colored hair that was messy in that hot kind of way, "that's Emmett," Emmett had dark brown hair, and was huge and intimidating! "And this is his girlfriend, Rosalie Hale," Rosalie was the epitome of model perfect. Aubrey shook hands with each of them, noticing that their hands were all cold. "Id introduce you to my other brother, but he's disappeared again…" Alice says.
"There will be time for that later Alice. I'm pretty sure Aubrey here was heading out when we were coming in."Edward says. "Oh! How rude of me. I'll let you be on your way. You must hang with us soon!"Alice exclaims. Aubrey smiles. "Sounds good! I'll see you all later!"
Outside, Aubrey was walking quickly along the perimeter to get to the parking lot. Between the weather, meeting so many people, and trying to get to her car, she never saw the person until she collided with them. She started to tumble backwards, but a pair of cold hands caught her. "I am so, so sorry! I wasn't paying attention…" She mumbles. "It's alright." A male voice draws. Aubrey looks up at the guy; Honey blonde hair, a lean muscular build, about 6'3", with topaz eyes. "He looks just like a porcelain doll…" Aubrey thinks. He smiles a pained smile. "So… you're new." It wasn't a question, just a statement. "Yeah, I.. I'm new. Today's my first day." She answers. "Oh. Um, I'm Jasper. Jasper Cullen." He Says. "Oh! Your Alice's brother. I'm Aubrey Reynolds." They shake hands. "Well Aubrey, you're quite the sight, with your Aqua hair and matching eyes."
Aubrey blushed. Jasper looks down and says, "you dropped your keys.." He bends down and grabs them for her. "Thanks…"
"So what classes do you have for the rest of the day?" He asks. "Crap. Um… good question. Lemme check."Aubrey reaches into her tote and pulls out her schedule. " I have music, French, and honors bio."
Jasper smiles that pained smile. "Well it looks like we'll be spending the rest of the day together."Aubrey smiles. "That's awesome! Now I know that I know at least one person in the rest of my classes!" "Ill see you in class Aubrey."Jasper says walking away in the direction Aubrey had come.
. Jaspers P.O.V .
What WAS this? Jasper wasn't sure what exactly he was feeling. Usually he kept to himself, not hold conversation. It wasn't that he was stuck up, Jasper Whitlock Hale-Cullen was polite, and very kind. It was that people made him weary. He always hurt from the burning in the back of his throat. He had a secret. His whole family did. It was just worse for him. Aubrey…. Aubrey….. He closed his eyes, every other thought lost, only the image of the beautiful mortal remained in his mind, along with a strange feeling. A feeling he hadn't felt since….. Jasper shut that thought down. No need to dwell in the past. Aubrey.. What was this feeling?
.Aubrey's P.O.V.
When she finally found the music room, Jasper was waiting outside. Aubrey smiled, and he smiled that pained smile back. Aubrey tilted her head to the side. Why did he look that way? Was he shy? Was he actually in pain? She found herself wanting to take that pain away, fully. To do anything in her power, no matter what the cost.
Edward popped his head out of the class room, looking at the two curiously. "Hello Aubrey. This is Jasper, my brother."
"We met already. We collided outside the café." Japer answers; again, that pained smile. "I ran into him, cuz I wasn't paying attention…" Aubrey Mutters.
"Lets go in, the bells about to ring." Edward Says.
In class, Aubrey sat next to Jasper and Edward, since she didn't know anyone else. They were taking notes on musical theory; occasionally Aubrey glanced at Jasper. He would always be looking at her, and would smile his pained smile. "He's really cute…" She thought. "I wish I could make him not be in pain.."
Class ended, and Jasper and Aubrey said goodbye to Edward. They made their way to their French class, talking along the way. Girls and guys alike looked at the pair in interest.
"So, what brought you to Forks?" Jasper asked. "Well, my mom doesn't like staying in one place for too long. We've been moving around the U.S. since I was 4. And now, 13 years later, here I am."Aubrey answers. "That's awesome in a way though… It means you've seen a lot of places!" Jasper replies. Outside French, Jasper says, "When you feel up to it, I'd like to hear about the places you've been." Aubrey smiles. "Id love to tell you."
French went by pretty quickly. To the classes amazement, when Mrs. Noelle asked for a volunteer to help Aubrey catch up with the class, Jasper, the quiet handsome kid, volunteered. Girls eyed Aubrey in envy. They wondered how the 'Scenie' had managed to gain the attention of the very evasive Jasper Cullen.
Honors biology was much the same too. Aubrey sat next to Jasper, girls looked at Aubrey in surprise and envy, and jasper volunteered to help her catch up. Today's assignment was for the students to partner up and choose an element to do a presentation on. They picked the element Mercury, and then went on to talk about anything else but science.
"Do you like sports?" He asks. "Oh you bet! Volleyball, soccer, and baseball! Those are my sports." Aubrey answers enthusiastically. "I love baseball. Me and my family, we play pickup games." Jasper says back. "That's really awesome! What are you best at?"Aubrey asks. " Batting. You?"
"Pitching. My curveball is pretty legit, if I do say so myself." Aubrey smiles.
The bell rings and day one is finally over. Jasper walks Aubrey to her car. "This is really nice." Jasper says about her car. " Thanks. It's my baby; I bought and paid for it myself. It's a little flashy, but that's ok." Aubrey answered. "Well, I should let you go. I bet your mom is dying to hear about your first day. I'll see you tomorrow, Miss Aubrey."
Driving home Aubrey couldn't help thinking about Jasper Cullen. His family was different, and he seemed the most special of them all. He was drop dead gorgeous, and the kindest boy she had ever met. There was definitely a connection. She longed for this to go somewhere. Not very far away, a pale skinned jasper was talking to his equally pale family.
"Jasper you never talk to people! I'm so happy you went and made friends with Aubrey." Alice practically sings. "Well, she's really nice…" Jasper mumbles, unable to blush. "Just be somewhat careful, Jazz, she is human." Bella says quietly. "It has to be tempting though, she is gorgeous…." Rosalie says. "Not as much as me, but all the same."
"Well, Mr. Mind reader, did you catch any of Aubrey's thoughts?" Emmett asks Edward.
"She's definitely attracted to jazz. The pained look you make when you smile concerns her very much. She wants to make it go away… And Jasper can't stop thinking about her."
"TRAITOR!" Jasper hisses. Alice claps her hands and jumps up and down. "Yay! my brother has a crush!"
"What's this I hear about a crush?" Carlisle Cullen asks, walking in with his mate Esme. "Jasper likes a girl and she has blue hair!" Emmet laughs.
. . .
Aubrey dreaded going home. It may have seemed to Jasper that her moving around so much was a happy thing, but it was far from that. Four had been the last year of Aubrey knowing what it meant to have a family. Her mom and dad divorced, and it all went to hell. Aubrey's mom started drinking, and Aubrey knew her mom loved her, and let's face it, Aubrey loved her mom. But her mom, who suffered her own private hanging every night, began to include Aubrey, abusing her mentally and emotionally, as well as sometimes physically. But mom always apologized in the morning… and the cycle would begin again. Forks, Washington was the farthest they had traveled from her childhood home of Queens, NY. Her mom feared that the demons of the past would catch up with her; Hence moving around a lot. The last place they had stayed, San Francisco, California had been the longest place they had ever lived at. Two years. She had made some good friends in those two years. She had even had a boyfriend. Things had been looking up; it seemed like Aubrey's mom was finally ok. But nothing lasts forever… Her mom panicked, packed everything, and now they were in Forks.
She got home and found her mom in their kitchen, making rice and beans for dinner, an open bottle of peach vodka on the counter.
"Hi mom…" Aubrey sighed. Aubrey's mom looked up from the stove. Traces of her beauty still visible in her features. "Hello dear. How was your first day?" "It was good, made some friends…" Aubrey answered, heading upstairs to her room.
She covered her walls with posters of her favorite bands; Flyleaf, Picture me Broken, ADTR… There was one window that gave her a view of the woods out back. The guy that had sold them the house said there were awesome riverside trails outback. When the weather got better, Aubrey planned on walking those trails. She lay down on her bed, her thoughts on Jasper. Why couldn't she get him out of her mind?
