A/N: Hello! It's me again! First of all, I want to thank to ALL my lovely reviewers who took their time writing a reply! And that's why I've already got the second chapter done and ready! I'm really glad you guys liked the idea, I had thought it was going to be rather unpopular around here. But I'm happy because, apparently, it's not! And to answer the question if Alice is going to be paired up with someone, I don't know. I'm just writing along and seeing how it goes.
Anyhow, enjoy!
I walked to my next class, hoping it would end sooner – I never liked spend too much time apart from my twin sister, and she felt that way too. I walked inside the classroom and gave the slip so that the teacher could sign in it, then he told me to sit on an empty seat so that he could begin the lesson.
I turned around and froze.
I had spotted the empty seat just fine, but there was only a problem. It was right next to the one and only Jasper Hale. I gulped and started walking towards the seat, trying to not grip the books on my hand not too hard so as not to rip them with my super-strength. I had the perfectly plan on my head; walk to the seat, set my books down, sit and try not to stare so much to the blond-haired Greek God next to me. But of course, my life can never be that simple.
The plan worked perfectly fine, that is until I got about five feet from Jasper, when I started to feel sick. Well, not exactly sick in the I-want-to-throw-up-because-of-my-nervousness sick, more like there-is-a-stupid-piece-of-Kryptonite-somewhere sick. I was confused. Why there was a piece of Kryptonite in Forks? Or better, where was that piece of Kryptonite?
As I walked to my seat, the sick feeling got stronger and stronger. Just as I was about to reach my seat I did something I never thought I would.
I tripped.
My books went flying all over the floor, and I sighed in frustration. I tried to ignore the few snickers from my classmates as I gathered the scattered books again, only to find them on a pile being handed to me by a pair of extremely pale hands, and in one of them there was a ring with a small green rock – Kryptonite. Mystery solved, at least. I looked up, only to meet a par of deep black eyes staring at me.
I grabbed the books quickly and muttered a 'thanks' to Jasper – the owner of those deep black eyes that seemed to get darker by the instant – and sat down on my seat.
As the class passed by, I tried really hard to focus on what the teacher was saying, instead of the constant feeling of sickness that stupid little piece of meteor rock was provoking on me. God, how I wished I could just take that ring off of his finger then smash it to tiny pieces until the feeling was gone. But then again, that would mean touching him and then… OH GOD, what am I turning into? Bella?!
Breathe, Lorraine. Relax. Forget about Jasper, forget about the ring, focus on the lesson…
Fortunately, the bell rang and Jasper was out of the classroom in a flash. Well, not really, but it was really quick for a human, anyway. As soon as he was gone I took a deep breath, calming myself. I stood up a little shakily – being exposed to Kryptonite this long certainly didn't do me any good – and walked out of the classroom and towards Gym, where my sister was waiting me.
"Are you okay?" She asked when she saw my face.
"What do you think?" I snapped at her, but immediately felt guilty for snapping at my own sister. "Sorry. I just had a really long class."
"Alright, but you have to tell me everything." She said, guiding me into the Gym.
Luckily, the teacher let us just sit out and watch the multiple volleyball games going on, giving us time to catch up.
"So what was that all about?" Bella asked me, arms crossed over her chest.
"Well… Jasper Hale is in my class. In the seat right next to me, actually." I said after a pause.
"Really? Edward Cullen is in mine."
"Yeah? So did you guys talk or something? 'Cause…" I tried changing the subject to avoid talking about me making a fool of myself in front of the whole class. Too bad she picked up on what I was planning and cut me off.
"Don't try to change the subject, sis. What happened?" She asked.
"I— tripped."
"So? I do that— sometimes." She admitted.
I sent her a mock glare, "Sis, you're the clumsiest person I have ever heard of."
"That's not true!" She exclaimed, but not loud enough to draw attention to ourselves.
"Uh-huh. If I hadn't seen our spaceship I would've thought we weren't actually related by how often you fall, trip, break something…"
"Okay, okay, I get your point!" She said, closing her eyes in frustration. "Now go on with your story. I mean, I don't think that tripping would have made you all snappy, and…" She paused, realization dawning on her. "Oh. You don't trip. Not unless exposed to Kryptonite."
"Exactly my point. So, as I was saying, I tripped. And fell. My books all over the floor. When I went to get them, guess what, Jasper already had done it."
"What a gentlemen. Not like some people I know…" She trailed off, as if contemplating something. I made a mental note to ask her about it later.
"Anyway, when he handed the books to me, guess what was in his hand?"
"I don't know, the books?" She said, sarcastically, with an irritating smirk on her face.
"No, idiot. A ring." I paused, and she made a gesture for me to continue. "A Kryptonite ring."
Her eyes widened with realization, "You had to spend the whole class next to a guy wearing a Kryptonite ring?!" She whispered to me, alarmed, "How did you manage?!"
"I didn't!" At her confusion look, I explained, "It was like hell. I felt sick the whole time. And Jasper didn't help not one bit. I mean, he sat as far away from as his desk could manage, like I had some kind of contagious disease or something. I know I was doing the same thing, but I had a reason, so spare me!"
Bella blinked twice, before speaking, "I feel sorry for you."
"Urgh. I'll have to stand that for the whole year."
"Maybe you could switch classes." She stated.
"Hell no. I'm not going to let a random guy kick me out of one of my favorite classes. No way."
"Suit yourself, sis. It's gonna be your funeral." She said, then turned back to watch one of the games.
A minute or more passed, and I turned back to my twin, sensing she had some talking to do too,
"Spill it out."
She didn't even bother turning her head to me as she spoke, "Spill what out?"
"Something's bothering you. I know." She opened her mouth to speak, but I interrupted her, "Don't even try to deny it."
She sighed, pushing a lock of brown hair out of her face, but gave up, "Remember when I said Edward Cullen was in my class?"
"Yeah…?"
"He was very rude too. It was like he completely despised me, but I didn't do anything wrong!" She sighed, again, out of frustration, "He kept glaring at me, and kept covering his nose like something smelled bad. I'm pretty sure he thought I smelled bad. Do I smell bad?"
I sniffed her, mockingly, "Nope. Nada. Even though you used that shampoo that I hate. It has a funny smell, too. Maybe it was the shampoo!" I said, mocking at my sister.
She threw me a glare, "Ha ha. Funny. You're funny."
I grinned, "I know."
The rest of the class passed on a flash, with me and Bella discussing what we were going do to about the Cullen boys. Finally, the bell rang and me and my sister were out of the Gym as quick as humanly possible. Unfortunately, some random students caught up to us and started asking me random questions.
"Go on, Bells. I'll catch up with later." I said to my sister.
"Okay." She said, and walked away.
I tried to answer the students as honest as possible, but it so happens that when people keep asking you question like 'How's the weather on Kansas?', 'Was there much corn?' and 'Did you see lots of meteor rocks?', you're bound to get irritated.
"Sorry guys," I said to the small crowd that had gathered around me, "But I have to go." I slipped out as quickly as possible and made my way to the Front Office.
I opened the door to the warm office, letting a gust of wind pass by me. I spotted Bella almost instantaneously and smiled at her. My smile faltered when I spotted Edward Cullen on the desk, speaking to the woman we talked earlier. He turned slowly to glare at Bella – how rude! – and then he turned back to receptionist,
"Never mind, then," he said. "I can see that it's impossible. Thank you so much for your help." He turned on his heel without even glancing at us, and disappeared out the door.
We gave to the receptionist our paperwork, and left without another word. During our walk to the truck, I could feel Bella being upset, and I didn't blame her. I put my arm around her shoulders, in a comfort manner. She smiled at me and I smiled back.
"Thanks," she said.
"That's what sisters are for." I told her as we drove home in silence.
Stupid Cullen boys for making us feel down.
