Jasper: It was the first day of school…a fresh start, a new beginning. Except for the way it started…continued…and ended. That was the day I met…him. Now I'm not gay or anything. My heart beats simply for Alice, but….it's hard to explain. I suppose you'll find out eventually-
Alice: Jasper, sweetie, you know I love your voice, but I think it's about time we started with the story.
Jasper: I was just trying to build suspense! What do you guys think?
Jacob: Well, I think it sounded a bit gay, mate. Ya know, with the whole 'That was the day I met… him' If Alice said it, it would sound alright, but when you say it just sounds... well, gay.
Jasper: Really?
Alice: Yeah, Jazz, you might wanna cut back on the narrating just a bit.
Bella: Yeah, Jasper, I think I have to agree with Jacob on this one. That was, the Gayest. Opening paragraph. Ever.
Jasper: Well, if you all think so…
All: WE DO!
Jasper: sighs angrily Narration terminated.
It was a typical day in music class or, for lack of a better term, the Circus. The drums were beating, the trumpets were trumpeting, and Trombone was stealing the show…and…our hearts. It seemed like your average day. The Ringmaster (or our music teacher) was shut up in her office. All the students were chatting to their heart's content. Alice and Bella were discussing their usual unusual topics while Jacob franticly attempted to win Bella's attention.
"GAWD! Why aren't Mitchell and Tyler in this class?" yelped Alice.
"They're such lame-wads!" replied Bella gustily.
Suddenly Jacob began poking Bella in the arm. "Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella!"
"Yes?" she answered, turning around.
"Hi." he said with a huge smile on his face.
Bella rolled her eyes and continued her conversation. "If there was a town called Lames-Ville, they would be the mayors!"
"Yeah, sure Bella." replied Alice, looking a bit frightened. "Did you know, that I bought seventeen pairs of piano shoelaces this weekend?"
Now it was Bella's turn to look frightened. "SEVENTEEN?? Why on earth would you need that many?"
"Well, I have a lot of sho-" she began.
"Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella." started Jacob once again.
"OI!" exclaimed Bella, again turning around to look at him.
"Your hair is long." he said, smiling.
"I've noticed." she answered, returning to her conversation.
"As I was saying!" said Alice. "I have a lot of shoes, and you never know when you might need an extra pair of piano laces."
"That makes sense….I guess." answered Bella, looking out the window.
"Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella." once again, Jacob.
"WHAT!?!?!?" Bella yelled.
"There's someone at the door!" Jacob answered. "MS! There's someone at the door!" he yelled gleefully.
The Ringmaster burst out of her office. She looked around with her nostrils flared. "EVERYONE!!! Silence!!!!" She went to the door. She opened it, and there standing in the doorway was…
"Hi, I'm Jasper Hale." He said with a few casual flicks of his blond mane, which set off a chorus of giggles and even a slight glare from Trombone.
"Yeah. Hi." she barked, completely unaffected by his blonde splendour.
He flashed her a dazzling smile and said "I was transferred into this class today." with two more casual flicks of his head.
"Well, what do you play?" she said, in her meanest, most military-like voice.
"I play…" two more casual flicks. "The triangle." He said in his most seductive voice.
"Well, that's alright. We don't have any of those. Go. Sit. Play." She barked, waving her hand in the general direction of the other students and once again re-entering her secret lair.
Suddenly, CHAD BROWN pops his head in the doorway. "Hello everyone. Have a good first day!"
Bella's head snaps upwards and she screeches "CHAD BROWN!!!!" while flailing her arms in the air.
A random kid pops up at the window and repeats Bella's behaviour by yelling "CHAD BROWN!" and then running away.
Everyone stared for a few moments, and then resumed what they were doing before Jasper had come.
Jasper began gliding gracefully across the classroom seemingly unnoticed as his eyes scanned the room. He paused when he reached his target.
"Jasper Hale is looking at you." said Jessica in her girly voice, poking ….Jacob(?) in the ribs.
"Wot?" he said looking around franticly, his eyes wide with confusion.
Alice slapped Jacob on the back of the head. "He's looking at me." She hissed. "Jazz! Over here!" she said, waving, suddenly her dark mood lifted when her eyes met his.
He glided over to them and sat next to Alice, causally slipping his arm around her waist. "Fancy meeting you here, Alice."
Suddenly Jacob started snapping his fingers in Jasper's face. "Oi, Oi, Oi, Oi, Oi, Oi!"
Jasper looked down his nose at Jacob. "What do you want?"
"Hiya! I'm Jacob! This is Bella!" gesturing dramatically in Bella's general direction.
"I know Bella. Why do smell like dog?"
"Ha! I do not!" he said, whining a little. "Bella, do I smell like dog?" he asked, grabbing her face and forcing it against his chest. "Breathe deeply now."
"Urg. You smell fine." she said, her voice muffled a little. "Do you think you could let me go now?"
"Oh yeah." he said releasing Bella from his werewolf-strong grip. "So take THAT Mr Hale. Bella said I smell fine and dandy! AND DANDY!"
Everyone is so used to this type of behaviour that no one even glances in his direction.
"PLAY TIME, EVERYONE!!" Yelled Ms., brandishing a thick stack of sheet music with impossibly high notes and many codas and other miscellaneous confusing objects. "This one is March of the Gingerbread Man!" She barked. "We played it for the Queen in '82 in the military band. Quite the solid piece." She snapped her fingers calling for Kim and Molly to pass out the papers. They quickly got out of their seats and walked to the front to hand out parts while giving each other comical expressions of boredom and dislike. Once everyone was comfortably seated with their respective pieces, she raised her baton and waved it dramatically. "This piece is in 27/32 time. Very fast, with short notes. Play quickly now!" and with that she begin waving her baton with such speed that it appeared she was having a seizure.
The band raised their instruments and grudgingly began to play the piece, with a few mumbles from some at the back.
It sounded absolutely awful, all except for Jacob, and Trombone. (of course). Ms swept her baton dramatically yelling "STOP!" and smacking Bella across the face. This caused Bella to drop her clarinet clumsily. Alice went to grab the clarinet before it hit the floor, but her heroic efforts were thwarted because she hit Bella in the back of the head with her flute.
Alice handed Bella her clarinet gently patting her on the shoulder as Jacob burst out in laughter from his place amongst his fellow trumpets. Alice glared at him muttering "I'll see you after class, Mr Jacob Black!" so quietly that only the super-natural beings in the room could hear. Jacob's laughter immediately seized, replaced by a low chuckle from Jasper.
Of course, his laugher was ended when he received a vicious glare from Ms. "And what do we find so funny, Mr Hale?"
Jasper's head ducked down, now under the protection of lustrous bangs. "Nothing Ms." he muttered sullenly.
"Back to business people! That was awful! Didn't you see the 17 codas? And flutes, you were supposed to play in the key of E flat natural! It's normally undetected by the human ear, but I can still hear it." screeched Ms.
"I can't hear it Ms!" said Kim cheerfully.
Followed by a "I can't hear it either!" from Molly.
The rest of the class nodded their heads in agreement.
"We'll work on it." barked Ms. "And Trombone, fabulous job!" she said batting her eyelashes and giving him her most seductive smile.
"Ms! Ms! How did I do, Ms?" called Jacob, bouncing in his seat with anticipation.
"Well Jacob, the notes were played correctly, but you were off-key. It's supposed to be da-da-da-da-du-da not da-da-da-da-du-du!"
"I was da-da-da-da-du-da-ing perfectly! I even played the dum-dum-dum right!" cried Jacob.
"You got the dumb part right." mutter Jasper sarcastically.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME?" cried Jacob, while being restrained by Oana and Lilly so that he didn't lunge at Jasper.
"Yes Jasper, let's say we go over your part now." sneered Ms. "You were a little off on…EVERYTHING! John, Andrea, play along with Jasper. See if he can do anything right." Ms waved her baton summing them to play.
John and Andrea started playing and Ms waiting expectantly for his big solo. The entire class turned to watch. Jasper blinked wide and hard two times and completely froze.
The entire class became panic-stricken and started to scream while Alice and Jacob began rolling on the floor with laughter. Jasper blinked again, hit the triangle half-heartedly, while the class continued to scream. Ms began to sob uncontrollably, while Bella threw her books in the air in panic, hitting Jessica straight on the head, knocking her unconscious.
Then Bella began to sob as well, yelling "I'VE KILLED HER!!"
Alice and Jacob managed to drag themselves off the floor so they could survey the havoc Jasper had brought upon the class. Once they realized what had happened, they collapsed in laughter once again. Jacob had noticed Bella crying, and after wiping his own tears if laughter, he walked over to console her.
Jacob wrapped his arms around her and said comfortingly "Calm down Bella. Everything is okay."
"EVERYTHING IS NOT OKAY! I"VE KILLED JESSICA! I'VE MURDERED HER WITH A BOOK!" sobbed Bella into his chest.
While Jacob frantically attempted to calm Bella, Alice marched over to the percussion section, bringing a new wave of panic onto the class. She grabbed Jasper by the shirt collar, pulling him close to her. She began angrily running her fingers through his hair.
He gave her a questioning look and asked "Alice what are you doing?"
"Calming myself down." she replied through gritted teeth. She pulled his face close to hers and whispered in her most frightening, vampire-like voice "Jasper Whitlock Hale. I don't care how panicked you are about your stupid triangle. I do not want the rest of the class to hear about it, feel it, or notice it in any way, shape or form. Do you understand? DO YOU?"
"Yes ma'am." he replied, gulping.
"Now fix it!" Alice cried.
As soon as the words left her mouth, the class's wails subsided into gentle sobs, which eventually calmed into an awkward silence which was only occasionally broken by a slight giggle at the sight of Ms crying.
Ms reddened and after wiping her eyes said "Jasper, you need some work." and with that she shuffled into her office.
The second the door closed, the class began gossiping about the events that just occurred. Jessica slowly regained coconsciousness and the other Jacob rushed to get her an ice pack. While Alice dragged Jasper over to Bella and Jacob.
"Jasper would like to apologize to you Bella." said Alice coldly.
"YEAH! APOLOGIZE!" said Jacob in an accusatory manner, refusing to release his grasp on Bella. She gentle pulled away so that she could face Jasper.
Jasper started at his feet and mumbled "Sorry Bella."
"It's alright." she said sighing. "So now that we've saved Easter, I kinda wanna know. How is it that you and Jacob didn't get affected by Jasper's panic attack?" she asked Alice.
Alice smiled and said "That's cause we've got…"
"SELF CONTROL!" yelled Alice and Jacob in unison while slapping five.
"Oh please!" muttered Jasper.
"Oh please yourself. You play the triangle. That's a bit gay, don't you think?" said Jacob.
"It's not gay! It's a very vital part of every good band! How would you feel if you were listening to a piece and you couldn't hear the 'ding' of the triangle?" Jasper replied.
"I already know how that feels. Ya never play." Jacob replied triumphantly.
"Well what about the trumpet? That's not very manly!" replied Jasper, desperately attempting to change the subject.
"WHAT? WHAT? Not manly? Look at us! We're the manliest instrument ever!" yelled Jacob, gesturing to the trumpet section.
They looked over his shoulder to observe the trumpets.
"Are you calling us manly?" said Kim.
"I'm taking no offence." replied George.
"I think he is calling us manly!" said Oana.
"Let's kill him." said Lilly and with that the three girls ran towards Jacob with their trumpets raised.
Bella stepped in front of Jacob. "If you want to hurt him, you're going to have to hurt me as well."
They all stopped for a moment, shrugged, and continued advancing towards them.
Suddenly, the door to the music room burst open and in stepped…
Almost Edward! He charged forward and stood protectively in front of Bella. The trumpets paused in confusion. Almost Edward cried "TAKE ME INSTEAD!"
"Alright. We're not too picky about who we beat." and with that they began bashing their trumpets over Almost Edward's head for 5 minutes straight.
When they were finally finished, Almost Edward crumpled into a heap at Bella's feet, reaching for her hand. He whispered feebly "Can I be Edward now, Bella?"
She paused and said "Thank for saving me Edward….Almost."
"No!!!" cried Almost Edward, dragging himself out of the music room dejectedly. Bella returned to her group friends.
"Trumpet is still manlier." muttered Jacob, quiet enough so that his fellow trumpets couldn't hear.
"Why don't we let the girls decide?" said Jasper, annoyed.
"Well ladies, what do you think is the most manly instrument?" said Jacob in a highly seductive voice.
The girls looked at each other and squealed "TROMBONE!" Which caused all the other females in the class to let out a chorus of "OOHHHHHH!"
Ms then came out of her office, with an obvious extra coat of mascara on her eyelashes. She fluttered them and said "Good work today Trombone."
Trombone nodded and played a "womp-womp-woh-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa!!!"
Both the boys huffed and looked at Trombone with disgust.
"He's not all that good." muttered Jacob.
"Not that good looking either." replied Jasper.
"Ya know, you might suck at triangle, but at least better than him." said Jacob, nodding his head in Trombone's general direction.
"Agreed." said Jasper
"Friends?" asked Jacob sticking out his hand.
"Friends." replied Jasper, shaking it.
"And so, the legacy begins." muttered Alice.
