JPOV
Rosalie, Emmett, Edward, Alice and I quickly hurried out of the lunch room. Just a little while longer, I reminded myself. I was walking with Edward down the halls while Alice walked with Rosalie and Emmett. She seemed a little tense. I guess it was because of Bella. Back in the lunch room, when Alice looked at Bella, I felt anger and jealously coming from her, but then as quickly as it came, it faded away and was replaced by guilt. I have no idea what is going on with her. It's not like Alice to keep secrets from me. Edward was unusually quiet, so I asked him about Alice.
"Edward have you noticed anything weird about Alice lately? I think she's trying to hide something from me." Just as I said that, I saw panic flash in Edward's eyes, and then quickly disappear.
"Hasn't Alice always acted weird?" I smiled.
"Yes she has. But this time it's different." Edward had no response. I could tell he was trying to think of something to say, but he stayed quiet.
"Do you know something I don't?" I was looking Edward straight in his eyes, but he kept his eyes on the ground.
"No. I don't." That's all he said. I didn't know what he feeling because he was hiding his emotions from me
"Okay." Edward walked into his class and I went to mine. I know there is something going on between him and Alice. I will find out what it is.
I felt as if I was sitting in class of hours. I already knew about what the teacher was talking about, so I didn't bother to listen. I sat there and thought about Bella. Why is she having this kind of effect on me? I haven't met her, and yet I can't get my mind of her. She's not like the others. She didn't spend her lunch period gossiping about the kids in this school. Instead she sat there and listened to Jessica do it. I don't know why I am so amused by her. It's no surprise to me that Edward showed interest in her. Edward's been alone for alone for a long time. Speaking which, I'm pretty sure he's in biology with Bella right now. I overheard her conversation with Jessica in the cafeteria. What if Bella shows interest in Edward and he decides to act on it? I don't know what I would do. But it's not as if Bella belongs to be. She can like whoever she wants. If not me, she should go for Edward, other than the fact that he and the rest of our family are vampires. I sighed. I want her I said to myself as I got sucked into a day dream. The rest of the class went by in a blur. The bell shook me back to reality. I remembered Edward told me meet him back at his class, so I left the room and headed for his direction. I was still thinking about Bella as I walked through the halls. My mind was so far gone that I didn't see her. She ran right into me and dropped all of her things on the ground. Bella seemed to be at a loss for words.
"I…um…I" I laughed on the inside about how easily flustered she can get.
"I apologize. Let me help you. As we both bent down to gather her books, I took in her scent. It was intoxicating.
"Thank you. And you don't have to apologize, it wasn't your fault. It's just me being my normal clumsy self." Her voice was music to my ears.
"I wasn't watching where I was going. I should be more careful next time."
"Yeah me too." She smiled so I returned it. She extended her hand out towards me.
"I'm Bella."I wasn't sure if I was strong enough to touch her, even if it was just a hand shake. When I didn't take her hand, she instantly dropped it. I watched as the pain of my rejection wipe the smile off her face. She was about to walk away. Just then I made up my mind. I extended my hand and smiled.
"I'm Jasper."

"I wasn't watching where I was going. I should be more careful next time."
"Yeah me too." I smiled. I was happy to see him smile back. I wasn't sure what to do next, so I reached my hand out and introduced myself, although he probably knew who I was already.
"I'm Bella." He stood there staring. Not once ever taking his eyes off my face. A few seconds went by and I put my hand down. The pain hit me hard in my chest. I was just about to walk away when I saw him stick his hand out.
"I'm Jasper." His smile made me feel as if I've known him for ten years rather than ten minutes. I took his hand in mine. This coldness of it took me by surprise. I gasped and looked up at him. My shock of it didn't seem to register in his mind.
"It's very nice to meet you Bella." We were still holding each other's hands as Edward came up beside us.
"I see you met my brother." He said. Jasper's hand was still locked onto mine, but things were starting to get awkward, so I let go. I instantly missed the coldness of his hand in mine.
"So I'm assuming you guys know each other." Jasper said, smiling at both Edward and I.
"Not exactly. I didn't get the chance to introduce myself. I'm Edward, and you're Bella." I didn't know what to say so all I said was,
"Yes." Jasper and I stood there staring at each other. The silence was broken when Edward spoke.
"Jasper are you ready to go?" Jasper blinked a few times and turned and looked at Edward.
"Yes I am."
"Bella." Edward nodded his head towards me and I did the same.
"Goodbye Bella." Jasper said as he was walking away.
"Goodbye."
"I'll..see you tomorrow?"
"Yes." I said as I smiled, turned and walked away. I quickly got in my truck and drove to the store remembering that I needed some groceries to make Charlie's dinner. While I was at the store, I thought about Jasper, but my mind kept going back to his brother Edward. It was as if he was showing some interest in me but I couldn't tell. He wore no emotion on his face. Edward. He was different like Jasper was but Jasper, he makes me feel so calm. Nothing can ever happen with us. He's with Alice. Alice looks like a nice person and I don't want to ruin her relationship with Jasper. But who knows what will happen. I went to the check out, loaded the food in my truck and drove home.

Jasper was quiet during the ride home. I didn't know what he was thinking about because he hid his thoughts from me. Jasper finally decided to break the silence.
"So. Bella's in your biology class." I gave simple short answers, not wanting to get into a conversation about her.
"Yes. She is." He didn't say anything else. I pulled into the drive way, noticing that Rosalie's convertible was already there, which meant Alice was home. Once I walked through the door, I headed straight for the stairs. I looked at Jasper. He looked as if he wanted to tell me something, but he changed his mind and walked away. I went for Alice's room. I didn't bother knocking. I opened the door, walked in, and found Alice in her walk-in closet.
"What are you looking for?" Alice was going through her clothes rack.
"I don't know exactly. I always come in here and rummage through my stuff. It helps when my head is filled with too many things."
"What's on your mind?"
"Um, I don't know Edward, Jasper?" I flinched at her sarcasm.
"I'm sorry. The guilt is eating me alive."
"I know me too. He knows something."
"WHAT! WHAT DOES HE KNOW!? TELL ME!" Alice ran to me and grabbed me by my shirt. The panic and guilt of everything was evident in her eyes. I shook her off and grabbed her hands.
"I don't know but he's starting to catch on. He knows we're hiding something from him. I don't like this Alice, we should just tell him."
"We can't do that Edward and you know it. It'll kill him."
"And what if he finds out from someone else like Rosalie or Charlise? That would just make things worse."
"I know." Alice sighed.
"Oh Edward what are going to do?"
"I don't know but we'll figure it out."
"I hope so." We stood there for awhile hugging each other, neither of us wanting to let go.

I wanted to break the long silence in car.
"So. Bella's in your biology class."
"Yes. She is." That's all he said, obviously not wanting to talk about it so I let go. I didn't say anything after that. When Edward pulled into the driveway, I noticed Rosalie's convertible in the driveway. That meant Alice was home. We walked inside an Edward started for the stairs. I wanted to talk about whatever was going on between him and Alice. Edward saw that I was about to say something, so he stopped and turned to me. I started to talk but then changed my mind and walked away. I paced around in kitchen, unable to make up my mind.
Should I go talk to them? I must know what it is they are keeping from me. Yes. I'll go. I started up the stairs, heading in the direction of Edward's room. I heard two voices coming from Alice's room and I knew Edward was in there. I didn't want them to know I was on the other side of the door, so I quickly blocked all of my thoughts and made it so that Alice wouldn't be able to see my future for the time being. It was easy for me to hear every word spoken. I was taken aback by what I heard.
"What's on your mind?" Edward asked Alice.
"Um, I don't know Edward, Jasper?" Edward didn't respond.
"I'm sorry. The guilt is eating me alive." Alice said.
"I know me too. He knows something." Edward said.
I can feel Alice panic as she shouted at Edward.
"WHAT! WHAT DOES HE KNOW!? TELL ME!"
Edward wasn't as panicked as Alice was.
"I don't know but he's starting to catch on. He knows we're hiding something from him. I don't like this Alice, we should just tell him."
"We can't do that Edward and you know it. It'll kill him."
"And what if he finds out from someone else like Rosalie or Charlise? That would just make things worse." What are they talking about? I thought to myself.
"I know." Alice sighed.
"Oh Edward what are we going to do?" She sounded so worried. As if she cared about hurting me.
"I don't know but we'll figure it out."
"I hope so." I knew something was going on between them. I felt remorse towards them both of them. I didn't want them to know that I found out about them. Just as I was about to dash down the stairs, I heard Alice gasp.
"Edward I know what we can do!" Edward laughed at her excitement.
"What?" Edward was curious what Alice's idea was.
"You know that new girl Bella?" Edward felt confused.
"Yes what about her?"
"Don't you see where I'm going with this? If you start to show that you're interested in her and start spending time with her, Jasper will never suspect that there's something going on between us!" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Edward shushed her.
"Keep your voice down Jasper's down stairs." Alice giggled.
"Oops sorry. But anyway, back to what I was saying…" Alice jumped into the crazy plan she had. Wow. I never saw any of this coming. So for this whole time, while I was trying to learn how to control my thirst for human blood, Alice and Edward were sleeping around with each other. How could they do this to me? I thought Alice loved me, but I guess I thought wrong. I ran down the stairs in disgust as I started to her kissing noise on the other side of the door.

We were still hugging when Alice gasped.
"Edward I know what we can do!" I laughed at her sudden burst of excitement.
"What?" I listened intensively, wanting to hear what Alice was going to say.
"You know that new girl Bella?" I was confused.
"Yes what about her?" I asked.
"Don't you see where I'm going with this? If you start to show that you're interested in her and start spending time with her, Jasper will never suspect that there's something going on between us!" I immediately shushed her.
"Keep your voice down Jasper's down stairs." Alice giggled. I smiled at the little girl that was inside of her.
"Oops sorry. But anyway, back to what I was saying, you would start to hang out with Bella, you know, be her friend and make things look serious between you two. If you keep that up for a little while, Jasper will never suspect a thing."
"I love the way you think." I said.
"And I just love you." She said. I bent my head down and placed a soft kiss on her lips. Alice licked my bottom lip, wanting entrance. I opened my mouth and deepened the kiss. I broke the kiss to talk.
"Not here. Not while Jasper's still in the house." We were both gasping for air.
"Fine. But I will have my way with you later." Alice said in a whisper.
"Whatever you say." I said smiling on her lips.
Okay! So now you know Alice n Edward's dirty little secret. And so does Jasper. What'll he do tomorrow at skool? Wait for my next chapter to find out! AND PLZ PLZ PLZ REVIEW!!!!!!
