Chapter 1, Part 2
"So what do you want?"
"Well, know need to sound so irritated." She said sarcastically.
I looked at her.
"Oh, right, Carlisle wants to talk to you."
"Did you tell him?" I asked glaring at her.
"Yes," answered Edward, who just walked in with Carlisle at his side.
I growled. "Thank you, Alice."
"No problem." She chirped happily.
She and Edward left.
"So, Jasper, Alice said that you met someone in school." Carlisle said in his calm voice.
"Yes."
"Her name is Bella, right?"
"Correct."
"Short for Isabella, correct?"
"Ye- actually I don't know." I answered truthfully.
"Oh, well I thought that you would know since Edward didn't."
I stared at him. "Why not?"
"Ms. Bella's mind is not connecting to his." He answered shortly. "I don't know why."
"Hmm."
"Why did you practically bite her neck off?"
I snorted. "That's what Alice said I did?"
He smiled.
"She's different."
"I expected you to learn not to judge."
"Well, she's all carnivore."
Carlisle stared at me. "Alice failed to mention that she was a vampire."
"Thanks, Alice." I muttered.
We paused, and then Carlisle said, "Well, we still shouldn't judge, ok?"
I glanced at him, "Alright, Carlisle."
I flopped down on my couch and flipped open my worn copy of Oliver Twist. Suddenly, Alice's pixie like face was in mine.
I started. "Damn it, Alice, don't do that."
"Sorry." She said, hardly sorry at all. Quickly, she gave me a peck on the lips.
"You know, that only works with girls, not guys."
She turned her head, looking like a confused puppy.
"Kissing to get them to shut up."
She laughed. "No that's not how you do it," she got very close to me. "This is." She laid her marble lips against mine. Hers curved into mine, her tongue tracing my lips. I opened my mouth.
Suddenly, I glanced out the window.
Crouching on a branch, staring at us was Bella.
Dun, Dun, DUN!
