After the disastrous Monday morning that I faced I was hoping that Tuesday would turn out to be marginally better. I should have known not to ask for to much. Nothing ever works out the way I would like it to.
As I got ready for school I was looking in the mirror trying to decided what to do with myself today. I usually didn't care, and just put my hair up into a ponytail and didn't even take a glance at the little amount of make-up I owned. But for some reason today I actually felt like doing something a little different.
I decided to leave my hair down for once and let my naturally wavy hair fall into place. I pick up my mascara and just twirl it around in my hands before actually opening it and using it. Of course being who I am I end up poking myself in the eye with the wand, but I do not let it deter me.
After finally getting ready and being satisfied with the way I look I quickly get dressed and head downstairs for a quick breakfast before getting in my big lug of a truck and heading to school.
Entering the parking lot I do a quick scan of the entrance of the school to see if I am going to make some sort of escape route in my mind to avoid anything like what happened yesterday.
As I am scanning I see a familiar blonde head of hair and quickly do a double take to see if I had seen correctly. Jasper is leaning against his car watching me as I pull into the parking lot. I pull into a parking spot, put my car in park, turn off the ignition, and quickly get out of my truck. Of course in all the hurry I completely forget to grab my backpack.
I try to make it as fast as possible to grab my bag and head toward the school. But of course when does anything I want to happen actually turn out the way I want it? Right as I go to close my door I see Jasper's reflection staring back at me from my window.
I turn myself around and have a momentary lapse in memory of living in the rainiest town and start to slip on the wet ground. I brace myself for the fall I know I am about to take, but suddenly realize that I am still standing. I slowly opening my eyes and look up into a pair of the bluest eyes I have ever seen.
"You have got to be the clumsiest person on the face of the Earth," he says with a light chuckle.
I am in complete shock and probably stand there staring at him for a good five minutes before my brain finally kicks in and tells me that I need to respond to him.
'Um, yeah, I, um, wouldn't doubt it," I stumble. I quickly berate myself for such an eloquent speech. But it seems that for whatever reason I have completely forgotten how to actually form a coherent sentence while in still being held up by Jasper's hands.
"I'm sorry if I scared you. I just wanted to come over and say hello." He must have noticed the effect him having his hands on me was having, because just as fast as they were on me they were gone.
"Oh, um, well hello, then, I guess," apparently my brain still didn't want to function correctly.
"Hi," he said in the softest sigh I've ever heard and with a slight smile on his face.
I think time must have been moving very slowly, because I could have sworn that I had been standing there for a good ten minutes staring at Jasper and not saying a word. Although its not like he was very talkative with me either.
"Jasper!"
We both turn our heads quickly to see a very angry looking Edward Cullen on the other end of the student parking lot. I don't understand what his problem is exactly and why he looks so angry it's not like he owns his friend. Jasper is capable of making his own decisions and allowed to talk to anyone he wants to. But then I quickly remember that this is Edward Cullen, and in order to be a part of his group, he did in some small way own you.
I see Edward start to make his way over to us and feel a slight panicking feeling come over me. I try to quickly think of something to say to Jasper, so I won't have to deal with both of them at one time.
"You better go he looks pretty upset about something," I look down at the ground quickly and bite my lip.
"There's only one thing he would be upset about," I hear another slight chuckle and look up to see that he has a somewhat sarcastic smile on his face and is looking in the direction of his friend.
"I should go though. My class is on the other side of the campus and we only have about five minutes before the bell rings." Jasper looks back at me and smile one the most beautiful smiles I have ever seen.
"Oh ok then," seriously my brain must not want to work today.
"I'll talk to you later," and with that he turned around and walked away, to his still angry looking friend.
I watched as Jasper caught up with Edward and saw how Edward was practically whisper yelling at him. No doubt trying to figure out what Jasper was even doing talking to me. Which is something I would like answered too. In all my years here in Forks no one from Edward's group dared talk to me unless it was to insult or make fun of me.
I stood there replaying everything that just happened in my head trying to make sense of it when all the sudden I heard a ringing. Realizing that I was hearing the first bell for school I quickly grabbed my backpack, and as carefully as I could, ran towards my homeroom.
Alice was going to kill me for not showing up this morning.
The first periods of the day had gone by pretty slowly. Part of it had to do with the fact that Alice hadn't shown up for school. I had sent her a quick text in between third and fourth period after not seeing her in Spanish to see if she was alright.
She responded rather quickly saying that she had to stay home today due to "major cramping and feeling fat." I wish I could use that excuse anytime I needed to, but I know Charlie would know I was lying and quickly start with the doting dad stuff, which I didn't need.
As I was sitting in my fourth period math class I started thinking back over what had happened with Jasper in the parking lot that morning. To say it was weird would be an understatement.
I couldn't get over how nice he was. Granted we didn't spend a lot of time talking, but the gesture of it all was nice. And boy, his eyes are blue. One of prettiest blues I have ever seen. Prettier then all the oceans, seas, and lakes combined. Even prettier then the sky in every part of the day.
"Bella!"
I quickly snapped out of my day dream and realized everyone was staring at me including .
"Welcome back to the world of the living Ms. Swan, would you care to give the answer to the question on the board?" asks as he points his chubby pointer finger in the direction of the chalk board.
"Su…sure," I quickly mumble out and hope to God I know the answer to question.
Lunch couldn't have come fast enough. After being humiliated in math I could not wait to get out of there and have some quiet time.
I went through the lunch line like I did everyday and grabbed my essentials. A bottle of lemonade and a slice of pizza. As I was paying for my food I looked over towards the table where Alice I usually sit to make sure it was still empty. What I saw was so surprising to me I nearly dropped my pizza to the floor.
Edward Cullen was sitting at my table staring directly at me, and he did not look pleased.
I walked as slowly as possible to the now aptly named table of doom. As I got closer and closer I could feel a sort of tension in the air. I don't know what was causing it, but I know for a fact that I did not like this feeling.
When I was finally standing in front of the table I hesitated and did not take my usual seat. I looked down at the ground a bit my lip unsure of what was going to happen.
"Are you just going to stand there like an idiot or are going to sit down?" I looked up and saw the rather angry face of Edward Cullen, but also saw a hint of amusement in his green eyes. Which was probably not a good thing.
I sat down and placed my food on the table. Trying to ignore the fact that almost everyone in the cafeteria was staring at us. No doubt trying to figure out the same thing I was. Why was Edward over here talking me?
"I saw you with Jasper this morning," I waited for him to go on thinking he was just going to say something about how I was just being played again.
"Yes," was all I could manage to get out, in a breathy tone, "he came over saying he wanted to say hello."
I never had this hard of time talking to anyone else except for Edward and I have never been able to figure out why. There was just something in my brain that would not allow me to have function between it and my mouth.
"I though I should just let you know its all a bet to see how easy you are," I looked up at his words with a confused look. I had no idea what he was talking about and was about to ask him when I saw a shadow come across the table in front of me.
"Actually there is no bet and I never even had the chance to ask her." A little smile formed on my face before I could stop it. I noticed Edward flinch at that moment.
"What's going on? I'm confused," I turned my head so I could look up at Jasper and saw a very sincere smile on his face. I couldn't help it as my smile got a little bigger.
"Edward interrupted me this morning before I got to ask you a very important question and it seems now he is trying to make it sound like I was going to lie to you."
I looked back over at Edward and saw his form shaking. I was still confused on the whole situation which meant I still had no idea what was making him so angry.
"Oh…and what was this important question?" I asked as I turned my whole body in the direction of Jasper and his very tall frame. Why am I just now noticing all of these features on him?
"It doesn't matter cause its not going to happen," Edward spat out.
"Actually that's all up to Bella, but I would at least like to ask her before she makes a decision," Jasper smiled down at me.
"Ok. What is it?" I looked down at the floor thinking it was probably a better place to look at the moment.
"Bella would you like to go out with my on Friday night?"
My head quickly snapped up with a shocked look on my face. Holy mother…did he just…I think…yes, he did. Oh.
I heard a very loud scraping sound and turned just in time to see Edward getting up rather quickly and walking out of the cafeteria. Um…alright.
"So, what do you think? You and I? Friday night?"
I looked up at Jasper once more and couldn't help the big cheesy smile on my face.
"Yes, of course."
