"Em, put me down." Bella said
"Say sorry, then I'll put you down." Emmett replied.
Edward and Rose interceded at that moment, they knew this could go on all day. Edward made a grab for Bella, whilst Rose tickled Emmett. In surprise Emmett let go, but Edward caught Bella. Bella then started to blush.
"Did you think I'd let you fall?" Edward whispered.
She just laughed in response that was before she saw every eye on them.
Edward's POV
Everyone was staring at us. It was quite disturbing actually. Rose and Bella weren't comfortable with other people staring at them, Emmett and I kind of were. Still only a few short weeks ago Emmett and I had made a deal/promise, we would protect our 'sisters' from jerks. If you get what I mean.
All of the boys were ogling at Rose and Bella, my protective streak kicked in and I wanted nothing more than to knock them to the ground. Emmett grabbed hold of Rose's hand and pulled her into a hug, just as quickly they kissed.
Bella and I had found out a few years back that there was a mutual attraction between the pair, it took some work, and some encouragement from my parents, but they finally were comfortable to be seen as a couple.
"Oh man, that hot blonde taken..." I heard one boy whisper to his mate.
Emmett knew how uncomfortable he made everyone around him that was why Rose was always relaxed when with him. She could tell by the disappointed looks that no-one was going to bother her. Instead all of the boys decided to stare at Bella, and of course, she blushed.
"Come on Bells, don't worry I'll protect you." I whispered to her.
I put my arm around her shoulders, and back as a group of four we headed to the desk in the reception. The receptionist handed us our schedules, Emmett went off to find his first class, seeing as he wouldn't have any with us. Rose, Bella and I looked at the schedules given.
"So what do you two have first?" I asked, glancing at mine.
"English, with Thompson." They both replied.
I was long used to hearing them both say the same thing at the same time, everyone around us on the other hand, burst out laughing. Honestly it wasn't that funny.
"Me too, so should we find our class?" I asked before we headed off to find Block 2.
As we entered into the class, our teacher stopped us. Sensing we were the new students Mr. Thompson made us introduce ourselves, I offered to go first.
"My names Edward Cullen, my Dad just got a job as a Doctor that's why we moved down here, I'm looking forward to being here with everyone." I flashed a crooked smile, Bella's favorite.
"My name is Rosalie Swan, but everyone just calls me Rose, Dr. And Mrs. Cullen adopted me into the family, due to some 'personal' issues." Rose said quite bravely.
"Hi I'm Bella Swan, Rose and I are twins, I'm the youngest, and like Rose I am also adopted into the Cullen family." Bella said blushing, she never likes this stuff.
"You're twins?" A blonde-haired girl in the front row screeched.
"Yes we are," Rose replied harshly "Why do you think that's hard to believe? We're fraternal twins if you want to get technical."
That's the thing I love most about Rose, she always speak her mind, she's never scared to say things the way they are meant to be said.
"Lauren! Well anyway we hope you enjoy it here, you can sit at the back of the class, the two tables that are together..." the teacher droned on.
We made our way to the back of the class, everyone was watching every step that we took, the two tables at the back we're empty, which meant one of us was going to be sat on our own.
"You two sit together, no-ones going to bother me once they see me with Emmett, if they do I'll set Emmett on them," Rose kindly whispered.
As we sat in our seat the Teacher got a message that took him out of the class for about 15 minutes, almost as soon as he left the classroom everyone turned round to us and we're firing questions.
"So do you live together...?"
"Are you seeing anyone...?"
"When did you move down here...?"
"Do you fancy going out sometime?" this question was fired at Bella by a baby-faced boy who was sat in front of us.
"SHUT UP!" I yelled "Jesus, we haven't been sat down for 5 bloody minutes and you keep firing questions at us without even a chance to answer. Christ, where are your manners?"
Everyone stared at me with the mouths wide opened.
"That's better. Right, yes we do live together; we have a house just on the outside of town that's secluded. My brother and Rose are going out so don't even bother harassing her, we moved down here a few weeks ago. We would like some time to settle in and get used to our surroundings before you harass us again, and no Bella does not fancy going out with you sometime." I finished. "Why don't you introduce yourselves, otherwise we will be calling you horrible nicknames behind your backs." I threatened.
"Edward, wow, seriously you are the best big adoptive brother a girl could ask for. How did you catch all of those flaming questions?" Rose asked.
"Well it's the same old same old. They all want to know the same thing, but they asked it in different contexts."
"I'm Mike by the way, and why did you say that Bella wouldn't fancy going out with me sometime?" the boy called Mike said.
"Tell you what Mike, you'll understand in a few years time. I know what my sisters 'types' are and you certainly don't fall into either of these girls category, and you wouldn't fit in with my little sisters either, so don't even bother to ask her."
"Everyone face the front of the class please; let's begin our lesson shall we." The teacher said walking into the classroom "You guys at the back have any of you read Wuthering Height." The teacher asked us.
"Yeah, Bella likes to read those types of books so one day we decided that she would read the story out loud, Carlisle and Esme came in and decided to get Edward and I the same books, so we've read every book on this list you gave us." Rose told him.
The teacher just stared at us with his mouth wide open. Then again what do you expect we were only in 7th Grade, we weren't supposed to be reading 'grown-up' books.
"Sir, you may want to close your mouth, otherwise a fly may fly in." Rose said cheekily "What Carlisle a Doctor he's always saying this stuff."
"Rose..." Bella and I harshly whispered at her.
"'What?'" she mouthed back.
"Any way carrying on, you all have an essay to do for homework. It will be due in, in two days; these are the subjects that you may broach..."
Looking at the board Rose, Bella and I realized we had already done this shit, where did I learn that, probably from Emmett. We spent the rest of the first period in silence, writing down notes. Soon enough we had finished our first morning at this school. We walked our way to the Cafeteria, and chose a table in the far corner, now we were just waiting for Emmett to come.
Emmett finally came in 3 minutes later, walking with another boy. We assumed that he had made a friend already. He looked as though he was in a deep conversation with the guy, eventually they made their way over to us.
"Guys, this is Jasper Hale." Emmett said introducing him.
"Hey Jasper, I'm Edward and this is Bella and that Rosalie, but she prefers being called Rose." I said pointing to the girls.
"Nice to meet you all," Jasper replied.
"Jasper, is something wrong?" Bella asked.
I should mention, Bella can tell a lot about a person, she's quite perceptive, she's sees things that other people can't or what they won't notice. Everyone always finds this weird, but I like it, also the fact that no-one can lie to her is pretty impressive as well.
"Well, um..."
"Jasper what's wrong? Don't lie to me I know something's up." Bella quickly responded.
"How come someone who had barely known me 2 minutes can sense that something's not right..." Jasper whispered to himself.
"Jasper, I'm a good people reader, so tell me what's wrong?"
"There's a problem at home..."
"What's happened to your parents Jazz?"
Everyone turned to stare at Bella, even Jasper. When Jasper look surprised at Bella, we knew then that something wasn't right.
"How are you doing that?" after a minute he said "They passed away a few weeks ago..."
"You've been living on your own?" Bella asked.
"Yeah, if I told anyone they would take me away from this place." Jasper looked gloomy.
Everyone else didn't know what to say. We were all still shocked, well apart from Rose that Bella quickly picked this up.
"Come back to our house with us tonight, I'm not going to let you go home alone, we'll help you sort things out." Bella told him.
"If you want to stay at school till you finish maybe Carlisle and Esme can be your temporary guardians, they would certainly be of help." Rose contributed.
"Yeah they would, Jasper come back with us." I finally said.
Jasper had agreed and later on that day he came back home with us. I had already texted my mom and dad to inform them of this, just so that there was no surprise. We stopped by Alice's school to pick her up before we began to walk home. Mom met us halfway, and drove us the rest of the way back.
Carlisle was waiting for us. He told me that he'd already started sorting out everything so that Jasper would stay with us, at least until the end of his current Education. For this Jasper was extremely grateful. I could see that Alice and Esme had taken a shine to him. Carlisle showed him the guest room he could use.
"I've just met you guys, I don't even know how to say 'Thank You' it doesn't seem enough..." Jasper was currently saying.
"As long as you enjoy yourself here, and join in with our family activities that is all the thanks that we want Jasper, please make yourself comfortable if you ever need anything just tell us," Esme said interrupting him.
"Well Jazz, you can thank me by protecting me from the jerks at school, now that everyone knows that Rose is strictly of the market there all asking me out, and god knows what, I hate it."
"Bella I would be honored to protect you, no-one going to want to mess around when they catch the sight of me with you..." Jasper trailed off "Thanks for the nick-name by the way."
"Well now that your an honorary brother of ours, how would you like to play some 'game' with me and Eddie?" Emmett asked.
"Don't call me Eddie, Emmett or I swear down I'll..."
"Swear down you'll what?"
"Right outside now."
Of course everyone but Jasper knew what that meant so the prepared themselves. I saw Alice whisper to Jasper that we were going to fight.
"Hey Jasper wanna join in, we'll go easy on you." Emmett said.
"Sure why not,"
And from that we had an amazing friendship with Jasper. He knew that he was now one of us, and for that we were all finally comfortable.
SO I finally got to introduce Jasper into the story, I'm going to skip a few years, but I hope you can give me some ideas of some things that may go on later in the story. Remember your idea could be featured into the story especially if I'm stuck and I just need a filler.
Next chapter Alice will have finally been in the same school as the others for two years, what could be going on...
