Summary: Liha and Bella are best friends. They have one special thing in common. The Cullen's! Jasper, darker than most would suspect, has a thing for the certain mortal girl. So does the mortal boy, Nathan. With the Cullen's, completely oblivious to Jasper's moods, and Bella occupying all of Alice's ability, what does Jasper have in store?

Chapter 1: Introductions
The sun shone through the cafeteria windows, glinting off anything metal. Bella sighed.
"I know," you said. "I hate sunny days to."
Here in forks, only around 1/10th of the days were sunny. And when they were, it was hell for Bella. She smiled at you gratefully.
"So why does his family leave during bright days?"
"Liha, you know why," Bella sighed.
"I think I know why…" you replied.
Bella's boy was pulled out of school on exceptionally sunny days to do special activities with his family. Or so they say. You, for one, were a little suspicious.
"But every sunny day? How is that even possible? How can you know it's going to be sunny if it's overcast all mornings?" You huffed.
Bella smiled to herself, as if remembering someone.
"I don't know how they manage, but they do," She sighed. "I wish they didn't."
You brushed your Medium length, brownish-black hair back behind your ear.
"I wish they didn't too," you muttered.
She looked at you in surprise.
"What do you mean?"
"Hmm?" You asked, startled.
"What do you mean, 'you wish they didn't too?"
"Oh…" You blushed. "I-I just meant that… When they're gone…You're unhappy!"
You smiled at yourself and your well-accomplished lie. She continued to stare at you, an almost worried look gracing her soft face. Well, almost accomplished lie.
"Liha, if that's all, then why are you blushing? Does…someone have a crush?"
She seemed to stutter on the last word. "Was she seriously worried that I'd steal Edward? I mean, look at me!" You spotted your reflection in the nearby announcement television. Your nearly black hair hung just beyond your shoulders. Your piercing eyes looked black, but you knew their color well. Compared to Bella's warm brown, yours were a cold, icy blue. At least it set off your pale skin with a glow. Though, with Nathan's constant compliments, you couldn't find it in your heart to truthfully bash your well-endowed body. Well, well endowed for your size, anyway. You snapped back to attention when you realized she'd spoken.
"What? What did you say?"
"I said, is it Emmett?"
"Is what Emmett?" You replied, confused.
"So that's a no."
Her body tensed and her eyes dropped.
"Is it Edward?"
"IS WHAT EDWARD?"
She smiled and shook her head.
"I should have known."
You tilted your head.
"Should have known what? What did I just agree to?"
She said nothing, and took a bite of her cafeteria pizza thoughtfully. You glanced at her quizzically.
"Hey, Bella?"
"Hmm."
"How did you and Edward get so close, so fast?"
She froze and looked deep in thought. "Damn her and her immense internal monologue!"
"Looking to snag a Cullen?" Said Jessica, leaning into your personal bubble.
You stared at her in surprise. "Where did the gossip queen come from?" She waved her hand through the air.
"Well, too bad. They're all taken. Bella got the last one!"
She walked away. Bella stared at you intently.
"Jasper has Alice, Liha."
"I know that!" You said, a little too quickly. "What makes you bring up Jasper?" You blushed. Suddenly, and all too familiar form slid in next to you.
"Hey Nathan," You said evenly. Bella gave you a knowing look.
"What's up, hot stuff?" He smirked at you. You stared into his heated brown eyes. "Geez, Bella, Nathan, and the Cullen's! Damn those eyes!"
Your eyes moved to his soft, light brown hair. Hair you've always wanted to run your fingers through but could. His even toned skin made yours look like paper. But if he knew you were treating you thins way, he'd be upset….
"You feeling ok, short stuff?"
He furrowed a worried brow and felt your forehead. Bella shot you another glance before standing to empty her plate. "Why does Nathan have to be so hot? And he interrupted my Jasper thoughts!" You sighed outwardly. He chuckled.
"Mesmerized by my sexy body? Should I give you a warning next time I approach you?"
You shoved him playfully and stood with your empty tray.
"No thanks, the stink of your ego is warning enough."
"Who made you quick witted-today?" He said, laughing.
You frowned. "And there goes my ego for the day…"
"Well, I was going to ask you if-"
The bell signifying the end of lunch interrupted him. He looked around the swiftly emptying room.
"Yes?" You prodded.
"What? Oh, it's not important, I'll ask you later…See you later."
He hurried out the door.
"Damn," you sighed under your breath.
