"Bella! Bella!" I turned around as I heard my name being called and I see none other than my best friend Alice running towards me.
"Hey Alice" I said to her after she finally reached me. Her short black hair was flipped in every direction and she was wearing a very cute outfit. She was all dressed up for some reason I could not understand.
"He's coming! He's coming!" She bounced next to so excited about the prospect of some guy coming towards us.
"Oh Bella isn't he handsome?" Alice breathed as a blonde haired boy rounded the corner. He was pretty tall, around 6'1, and he had these amazing blue eyes. He was a very handsome boy especially when he laughed showing his pearly white teeth.
"Yeah he is Alice. Who is he?" I asked my best friend as soon as he was out of our sights.
"His named is Jasper Hale and his homeroom is 108. He is extremely smart and he knows how to play the guitar." I looked at my best friend finally getting what was happening. She always had a thing for guys who can play the guitar.
"So you like him huh?" I asked her teasingly.
"Yes…" She said while blushing. Alice never blushed. As in never. For her to be doing that must mean that this Jasper guy must be special.
"Have you asked him out on a date yet?" I asked her; fully curious on how far she has gotten with her relationship.
"Bella, I don't even have his number yet. In fact, I barely even talked to him. I can't talk to him… " She explained to me looking frustrated.
This was completely unAlice like. She was never shy and was always forward whenever it concerns a guy she liked. She went after them was very persistent. She usually always got the guy she was after. For the whole 5 years I've known her, she always initiated her relationships.
"What? You haven't? What's wrong? Why can't you talk to him?" I bombard her with questions. I really needed to know what has happened to her to not make her go after the guy she likes.
"Bella… Jasper is… Jasper is… special. I can't just go up and talk to him. Every time I try, my confidence falls as soon as I see him. I really like him Bella." Alice confessed to me. There was just a tone in her voice that made me think. It seemed like she really like this Jasper. She never ever losses her confidence no matter who the person was.
"Wow Alice… you seem to really like him. I'll help you get closer to him in any possible way that I can."
I really wanted to help Alice. I don't know why, but there is just a need for me to help her. Specially since there was been no guy to make her act this way.
"Oh thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much Bella! You're so great!" She hugs me and I start laughing at her enthusiasm.
"Ok ok Alice get off me now. People are staring." I tell her as soon as my laughter died out. I heard the bell ring signaling us to go to our homeroom. Good thing Alice and I had the same one this year because we only have 1 class together.
"Alice I will try all I can to help you, but I really don't know him or any of his friends, but I will try all I can to get you to be with him." I clarified to her. I promised her I'd help, but I really didn't know how. She never needed help on things like these before.
"Oh Bella that's fine. I'm just happy that you're going to help me."
"Well then let's come up with an idea to talk to him first." I suggested to her.
"Oh that's should be the first step. Then maybe I can ask for his number and we can talk!" Expect Alice to already think further than what is planned. Then I remembered that our homeroom and homeroom 108 were supposed to work together to plant some flowers and trees around the school.
Our whole school has been trying to be environmentally friendly since our school year started. Each homeroom from all levels is assigned tasks to help the environment.
"Wait Alice, what homeroom did you say Jasper was in?" I asked her, trying to see if I was correct.
"Oh he is in room 108. Why?" She looked at me with a confused face.
"Well, Miss Brandon, you will be happy to know that our homeroom and his homeroom will be staying afterschool everyday for 4 months." I said to her excitedly.
"Wait they are? How? What? Why?" she asked barely containing her excitement.
"Well, you know how we are supposed to be working with another homeroom for the whole environmental thing? Well that's them." As I said it, a huge smile came to her face. She squealed excitedly and was hugging me yet again.
"Omg Bella this could not have been anymore perfect! I could get to know him more during this time and when, yes when Bella, we are going out, we have time to spend with her other!" Alice shouted out. Her old confidant self was back and I was glad I got to help out, even just a little.
We heard the bell ring, getting our attention. Alice and I left to go to out classes, promising each other that when our class together came, we would plan more on how things would happen after school.
The whole day finally finished and Alice and I met each other at the entrance of our homeroom.
"Oooo Bella I can't wait to see him." Alice said excitedly as she pulled me in the class. Our homeroom teacher explained all the details and anything necessary for us to know about this project. Alice and I barely listen as we already knew what this was all about. We were just chatting until the whole explanation was over.
"Ok class, let's go to the backyard." I heard our teacher say. I pulled Alice up and we walked outside. Even though it's almost winter, we live in southern California where its hot even at fall. It mostly never snows, even at winter, so we plant anytime. I noticed that the other class was already out there preparing everything we needed. I heard a squeal beside me and saw Alice staring at an almost shirtless Jasper.
"This is so going to be great!" she whispered to me. We were about to approach him, when our teachers told us to begin working. We couldn't really do much of our plan because there was always a teacher at our backs telling us what to do. The only thing we could do was get close a close working spot next to Jasper.
"Ok everyone it's time to go home. Thank you for the help and we will continue this tomorrow after school. Everyone please put the materials back in that door." One of the teachers said.
Alice and I were done putting our things back so we went back to our room and got our back packs. As we exited the door, there was none other than Jasper leaning by our door.
"Hey ladies, I'm Jasper." He extended his hand and Alice immediately shook it.
"Hi I'm Alice nice to meet you and this is my best friend Bella." She said excitedly. I waved my hand at him and said "Hello" and he did the same thing.
Alice went about her business in getting to know him. As I went to leave them alone, she held onto my hand and turned around to face me. There was a pleading look on her face and I suddenly knew that she needed me there to keep her courage. I found a chair close by and was just looking through my phone waiting for her to be done.
She finally came back with Jasper and another guy fallowing after her. Jasper and he said goodbye, and as they turned to leave, I caught eyes of the handsome guy with them. His eyes were so green and deep, that I found myself staring at him. We were just lost looking in each other's eyes, until I heard Alice calling my name. I broke our gaze and stared at the very happy looking girl in front of me.
"He is totally the one for me Bella!" She told me. I nodded at her and saw the boy's bronze head turn and walk out.
I continued to listen to Alice as she told me how they exchanged numbers and how they got to know each other, and everything that they told about. I was only half way paying attention, because half of my brain was focused on the bronzed haired, green eyed, Adonis I just saw.
The me at that time still didn't know that love has come to my side.
Please review. Tell me what you think of it so far.
