A/N: Thanks to everyone who've reviewed, I've read each one and let me keep going. I also want to thank those who are following and/or added this story to their favorites. This chapter's going to be divided, hopefully, evenly between Jasper and Leah as they deal with Leah's imprinting and the like. I feel they shouldn't jump into a romantic relationship right away like some people in this story.

Chapter 3
Jasper POV
June, 2004

As I sit with Rose, listening to the professor go on about the semester, I can't help but sneak glances at the girl sitting at the table with Rose and I. She's pretty, though not Rose drop dead gorgeousness, she get's more beautiful the more you look at her. The girl brushes some hair from her shoulder and that's when I get a good smell of her; Wolf. She smells of the woods, moss, river water and of wood smoke. The vampire in me reeled, instantly wanting to rip out her throat, but I kept as calm as I could.

I can feel Rose's feelings towards the girl, which are mostly nervousness, probably due to the girl's wolf status, indifference yet slight curiosity. I don't say anything to either girl for I don't know what to say. The girl prints her name on the syllabus, that's when I can make out her name; Leah Clearwater. I think I heard of her family at the La Push Reservation. I've never been there before, for obvious reasons, I always wanted to though. I stretch out in my seat, slinking down a little before crossing my arms across my chest. The girl, Leah, looks up quickly before ducking her head back down. Since the touch, she's been giving me quick looks, each time, sending her emotions in a tailspin. She'll go from fear and hatred to confusion and attraction. She must of felt it too, I think to myself, making me smile a little.

Have to find a way to approach her, I think to myself, playing with my pen. The professor announced in the background that we will be starting in chapter 3 of our textbooks. Flipping open my text book, I sneak peaks at Leah.

Leah POV

Sneaking peeks at the leech, I notice he's sneaking looks at me, too. I can't help but smile to myself, despite my concern about his status as a vampire. He must have felt it, too. I take a couple good looks at the leech and decide that he's pretty good looking, for a white guy. Naturally pale skin is lightened by his vampire status, honey-gold blonde hair and eyes. There are faint scars that litter his neck and wrists, probably extending up his arms, making him look dangerous. Looking down at my book and pretending to read the chapter, I let my thoughts take over about my imprinting.

I Imprinted...happy feelings swell in me...

...on a vampire...my negative side puts in...

...there must be a reason why I did...

...yeah...my negative side puts in again...you're a freak...I shake off that thought for the moment, I couldn't be abnormal, could I? I'll have to talk to the council when I get back after class today. I allow my thoughts to drift back to the vampire across the table from me...

...could I fall in love with him...If I fell in love with that asshole Sam, I could with him...

...he seems to treat the female leech alright...I think to myself as I watch the male and female leech playfully tease each other lightly as they read the chapter.

...I think I could live with him if he turns out to be decent, for a leech...

Pretty soon the class is over, the professor dismissing us with the request that we read the next three chapters before next class as well as be ready to discuss the effects of the printing press on 17th century life. I stood up, placing my notebook and text book in my bag, intent on getting home and discussing this to the council the second I enter La Push. "Hey," The leech calls to me, making me jerk my head up, "I'm Jasper," He introduces, extending his hand.

Hesitantly, I take his hand with mine, feeling the same tingle of electricity, "Leah," I respond, smiling as I look at him in the eyes. His eyes look warm and welcoming, crinkling around the edges as he smiles.

"I like it," He states, "This is my twin, Rosalie," Jasper turns to look at the female leech without letting go of my hand.

"Nice to meet you," I say, not knowing what else to say to a vampire.

"Whatever," The leech, Rosalie, waves her hand dismissively. I didn't expect her reaction to be much different, for she strikes me as the slightly arrogant type; aloof and indifferent.

"Ignore my sister," Jasper teases lightly as he turns back to me, "She's shy around strangers." I laugh a little and Rosalie huffs a little before stalking out of the room stating she'll be in the car. "Can I get your number," Jasper boldly asks, his eyes alight with a sense of shy curiosity and hopefulness. I nod, smiling more before exchanging numbers with him. "You live near by," Jasper asks curiously as we walk out of the class and into the parking lot.

"La Push Reservation," I reply, feeling the need to be honest with him.

Jasper nods, "Cool, I live nearby there. Just outside of Forks. Maybe we can meet up sometime outside of class. This Saturday?" That made my heart leap because today is only Thursday.

"That sounds fun," I agree. "Want to go to Forks' Library and hang out? Around noon?"

"Sounds good to me," Jasper nods. He was about to say something but was interrupted by an annoyed honk and we turned to see his sister, Rosalie in a BMW, looking mad. "I'll see you then, my lady," Jasper bows, taking my hand and brush his cool lips across the back of my hand. His kiss made my heart flutter a little in joy.

"Until then," I agree as we separate. I kept replaying the kiss in my head as I made my way home, in between what I would say to the council.

A/N: And So... I didn't want Leah to automatically and conveniently forget all the natural hate between the both of their species and want to be with Jasper like it's portayed in Breaking Dawn by Jacob's imprinting on Renesmee. I think their relationship is based on the fact Renesmee was/is only half-vampire, and the fact Jacob always had a perpetual hard on for Bella. Jasper's a full vampire, so he's more of a threat to Leah, though he doesn't want to hurt her.
