So I got three reviews, and I feel a bit giddy - that's the most reviews I've ever had for a first chapter to a story! I'm like a little child ;) So thanks very much to XxNonStoppSmilerxX, candyland 426 and My Over-Protective Fool for being my first three reviewers to this story :D If I get time over the next couple of days I'll check out your stories :D
Chapter Two
Alice immediately recognised the boy who had just tipped his hat at her. She had met him the previous weekend. He was amazingly gorgeous, if she hadn't of met him before she probably would have been drooling over him and telling Rosalie what an absolute sex bomb she had just met. Unfortunately she had already met him, and she wasn't so fond of him.
"Hi, I'm Jasper we've met before haven't we?" He said with a smile and a quick wink. His blue eyes were dimmer in this bad lighting, but once we got outside I could tell that they would almost sparkle – they were such an amazing shade of ocean blue. His honey blonde hair – similar to the colour of Rosalie's was smushed underneath his hat, but it was perfectly situated in the places you could see. His clothes were impeccable (which would have impressed Alice greatly, but didn't because of that Saturday she had met him)
Flashback to Saturday
Alice had stopped to get a quick something to eat at McDonald's after getting her dress fitted for her father's party. She and Rosalie bought some French fries each and as Alice turned around to grab Rosalie's attention, she knocked a tall figure over, spilling ketchup and salt all over them.
"Watch where you're going, midget." The boy said as he stood up, but he grinned as he gained eye contact with her to show that he was joking. Alice however, was not impressed. She had always been self-conscious about her height. Judging by this guy's accent he was probably from somewhere in the South of the U.S. Where exactly, she could not specify.
"Excuse me?" She asked, shocked that a person could be so rude to someone they had never met before.
"Just because we aren't all tall like you, doesn't mean you should take the piss." Alice stated and the boy chuckled at her very English saying.
"You're not the one who has to go round with ketchup stains on his shirt." He said and Alice looked down at his shirt to see the mess she had created. It was a shame because it was a nice t-shirt that would probably be permanently ruined, but there was no way she was going to apologise to this rude person.
Before Alice even got a chance to say anything in reply to him, the boy bent down close by her face and just before she went to swat him away, he whispered something in her ear.
"Why don't you join my other lady friends on the corner table over there? If you're lucky, you might get a kiss later." He smirked as he pulled away from her face and she turned to look at the corner table where four girls were glaring at her and trying to take up as much space as possible to make it look like there was no room for her – no matter how tiny she was.
Alice could not believe that one person could be so arrogant and conceited. She was embarrassed about what she had done to his very nice t-shirt (although it made her feel better to think that his mum probably dressed him) but there was no way in hell she was going to be joining him. However, she smiled and batted her eyelids flirtatiously so that he would react and he did. He smirked. She pulled him in closer to her as if she was going to kiss him and without a second thought, she punched him in the face and left McDonald's dragging a shocked Rosalie along with her.
"Ms Brandon?" Mrs Monday asked, her tone of voice sounding slightly concerned.
"Yes Miss?" Alice replied, using her nicest smile possible without gritting her teeth.
"So glad you could re-join us, please escort Mr Whitlock out of my office and show him around. Make sure he knows where he is going for period three." Alice nodded and walked out; hoping that Jasper wasn't going to follow her even though she knew that there was no chance of that.
She felt rather uncomfortable as they made their way to the first part of the tour. She didn't really feel like conversing with someone who had been so rude to her beforehand. She took him to the canteen first and gestured with her arms to show the room off.
"This is the canteen where you can buy break and lunch or just sit with your friends during the free time."
Next Alice went through all the lessons that Jasper would have on his timetable and a few other places that he might need. She received a text message just as they arrived at the science block which was at the east of the school. She turned back to look at Jasper who looked totally and utterly bored and so she pulled out her phone. She did wonder for a second if he would tell anyone, but she shrugged it off. That was, until a disapproving tone came from behind her.
"You know, you really shouldn't be doing that. You're a naughty one aren't you?" Jasper joked and Alice cringed. She didn't want him talking to her, let alone lecturing her and calling her 'naughty' in such a perverse way.
"What are you going to do about it, Mr Every-girl-on-the-planet-loves-me?" She asked him, and she saw a glint in his eye as he looked at her smugly.
"Well, Mrs Monday has taken a bit of a shine to me. All I have to do is drop a few hints about your phone and it's your head down the toilet."
Alice rolled her eyes and went back to reading her text message. He wouldn't tell anybody. Cocky bastard. She saw that she had two messages – one from Rosalie and one from Jessica.
Have you met the new boy? Is he gorgeous? Bring him round the front of English so I can see him… x Rose.
Where are you? Couldn't find you this morning and Mr D is having a fit ;) Jess x
She replied as quickly as humanly possible, trying her best to ignore the overdramatic sighs coming from Jasper and only half succeeding.
The English blocks had a whole wall made of glass in an attempt to modernise. Unfortunately for teachers, this meant that the students were often distracting by things going outside, especially in room 29 – where Rosalie was, because you got a complete view of the front of the school where everyone seemed to walk past.
Alice stopped directly outside of Rosalie's class and showed Jasper where he would be learning.
"This is the English block, you'll be in room 29 in third period today which is that one there," She said, pointing exactly towards Rosalie's seat hoping to catch her attention. "You have to get in through the back way so I'll show you that later-"Alice explained, but she was interrupted by Jasper.
"Is there any reason why a complete babe in that class is gawking at me, waving at you, texting and trying to do her work at the same time?" He asked Alice who cringed again. Of course he would call Rosalie a babe, she was. Although only 15, Rosalie was easily the best looking girl in Folkestone. You could see why when you met her mum – she was an ex supermodel. It's easy to get overlooked by boys when your best friend's with someone like Rose.
Rosalie was trying very hard to look like she wasn't staring at the students at the other side of the glass. She tried to concentrate on her work, while trying to text Alice and stare at them both at the same time. She found it extremely difficult, but once she had finished texting she did an over exaggerated wink at Alice and got back to her work.
The second that Rosalie had put her phone away, Alice's phone beeped.
"Is she a friend of yours?" Jasper was curious. He was hoping she was because then he could hook himself onto a gorgeous girl and his social status would climb up. He was hoping that he could melt the icy glares that the gorgeous, tiny brunette was giving him, but since he had no luck he might as well go for someone more willing for now.
"Yup." Alice said, popping the 'p'. Jasper knew this would be much easier to get the blonde girl to go on a date with him.
Alice looked down at her message.
OMG OMG OMG, HE'S YUM. Ask him out for me! X Rose
"So… you like the look of Rosalie do you? Do you want to go out with her sometime? She asked me to ask you, since she can't." Alice asked, going bright red. It wasn't even her date and she was embarrassed in-case he said no.
"Sure," Jasper said casually although he found the idea of getting Alice on a date more exciting – more of a challenge.
Jasper really liked the thought of Alice. She was gorgeous, sexy, dressed well and she would be just perfect to wrap his arms around and let her hang off his every word for a few weeks before he got bored and moved onto the next girl. That's how long it usually took before he found someone better or more interesting.
Jasper waved at the window where Alice saw Rosalie blush and look down at her work, so she rolled her eyes and walked off. She was in no mood to watch her best friend flirt with another guy – and an arsehole like Jasper at that.
At break time, Alice ditched Jasper as fast as she could and he went off to meet his friends who he had met on Saturday. Rosalie and Jessica were waiting for her in the canteen and Alice looked at Rosalie disapprovingly with her hands on her hips, shaking her head.
"What?" Rosalie asked innocently, her voice raised and slightly panicky at the end.
"I thought you liked Emmett?" She asked Rose who looked down at the ground sheepishly. Emmett was Alice's older brother who had just gone onto college as he was turning 17 this year.
"I do, but Emmett's not going to be interested in a school girl. Plus he's your brother so it would be weird." She explained and Alice took it all into account – even if Rosalie was wrong. It was only last year that Emmett had been in school himself. He had liked her then and he still liked her now, she didn't get why the pair of them didn't just get together.
"Whatever, just be careful. Jasper's a player. We saw that on Saturday, it's not a good idea to go out with him. You know it can't last." Alice warned her.
Jessica asked all about Jasper and just what had happened on Saturday that had made Alice dislike him so much. She let Rosalie explain as she was listening to the conversation on the table behind her. It was Jasper and his gang of girlie groupies. They practically dripped off him and laughed at every lame joke that he fed them. He lent back on his chair and she could feel the body heat rolling off of him. She tried to move away but he took up too much. She took a deep breath and caught a whiff off his cologne. Oh well, if she couldn't escape him at least he smelt nice. Jessica and Rosalie laughed at Alice squirming to get away from Jasper who might as well have been taking up two tables and finally when lunch was over, Alice could escape.
That night, Alice didn't wait for Jessica. She rushed out of class so that she could walk home alone and have a quiet think. Folkestone had always been a nice place to live. She could walk and think and reflect quietly by the beach – although not today as she didn't want to get her school uniform dirty from the sand and pebbles.
When Alice got home, she did all her usual things. She did her homework, she talked to her friends online, she watched a bit of TV, she had dinner, spent some time with her mum, dad and sister and then went to bed.
And that night, she had another weird dream.
So aren't I amazing? Two chapters in two days! Sorry about all the English talk – you can always google it if you don't know what I'm talking about ;) Thank you! And don't forget to give me feedback via review. You can review even if you aren't signed in because I turned on anonymous reviews :D
