Bella
After spending half an hour turning Alice's closet into a war zone, we sat down on her gigantic four poster bed to gossip whilst half heartedly watching desperate housewives on the television.
"So..." I started drumming my fingers on her bed. There was no way she was getting out of this conversation, even if she thought she had! I just made sure I bided my time so that I could hit her with it out of the blue, and get a genuine response! "Who got your attention today at lunch? Because I know it wasn't the newbies!" I pressed, noticing her stiffen up and beginning to panic! Ah the cleverness of me!
"Oh you mean the new boys?!" She suggested, as if she didn't know what I was talking about.
"Don't play miss innocent with me missy, I know you better than anyone! Who were you eyeing up?" She gulped, trying to wash her face of shock with innocence but I could see right through her, as always.
"I don't know what you talking about!" She whimpered, pretending to watch the television now.
"Suuure you don't! Just like Rosalie didn't want to admit she was totally eye fucking with that Jock today! Just spit it out Al it's me Bella...you know you can trust me!" And that was true. Only Alice and Rosalie could fully trust that anything they told me in confidence would go no further than us. Just like I could with them. It was a rule. Anyone else the rule didn't apply. She sighed defeated and began fidgeting with her jeans.
"Don't be angry ok?" She asked, a little scared as she peered up with her eyes to watch my face carefully. And then the ball dropped, and I knew exactly who she was staring at today. How could I not know? A shred of anger washed over my face now, at the realisation.
"ALICE!" I screamed, so disappointed in her. She hunched herself up to avoid my glare.
"I know!" She screeched.
"What are you thinking?!" I shook my head.
"I can't help it Bella!" She defended herself. I just glared at her more. How could she possibly still be fixated on...him! Eurgh, the very thought made me want to puke.
"He's a fucking bible bashing, nerdy, weird boy! He sits alone all the time, nobody likes him because he just wants to talk about god and shit all the time, and make you feel like your doing something so wrong by not saving yourself for marriage! I mean what utter bullshit is that?! He's the only boy in the entire school who is a fridged prude, and thinks sex is like murdering someone! It's total sick! HOW can you still like this loser? Even the losers and nerds of the school have gotten laid!" I stated, cringing at the image.
"Seriously?" She asked scrunching her face together in horror.
"Yeah..." Then I gagged.
"Eurgh now that's disturbing!"
"Yes it it! But so is you, crushing on Jasper Whitlock! You'll never get him into bed, and even if you did...eurgh I can't even think about how revolting it would be!" She chuckled a little. I couldn't see what was funny about this.
"That's exactly it though. You have to admit he is pretty fucking hot! Yeah he's a complete freak, but that delicately refined body of his, those big gaping eyes, and that GORGEOUS curly blondish hair, it's just adorable! Don't you see...?" She hinted, expecting me to just suddenly see exactly why she wanted to bed a freak, even if he was kind of hot. "He's a challenge, and I love a challenge. The harder the better!" She enthused, literally almost bouncing up and down like a little girl about to go on some wild, exciting adventure.
"A challenge he might be but I seriously think you'd be wasting your time on this guy! Don't think people haven't tried before! I mean this school is full of girls flashing their goods about, and making it known that their easy! Does he even look at them? No. Tasha, the biggest fucking breasted girl in the school tried real hard last year, and failed miserably. Now I know your prettier but come one...he's fridged! Just face it Al, you'd be better pursuing a gay man!" She winced her face a little subdued, dropping the subject now as we sat quietly watching the tele. She knew I was right about Jasper. He was so into his religion, nobody could crack that whip. And if I knew Alice, there's no way she could have a relationship with anyone without the sex! No way!
Edward
The following day I woke up in a pool of cold sweat. My head was banging at the walls ready to explode, and there was a nasty stench of vomit seeming through my nose. I had been sick all over my bed, floor and clothes, and what's worse I now didn't have anything clean to wear! I slowly went to pick up the alarm clock, unwillingly, and could see it was only 6am. Enough time to do laundry, I thought.
As I passed Emmett's room holding a bunch of stale clothes I could see he was in a worse state than me, to the point I thought I might actually be sick again. I slammed his door shut and ran down the stairs to escape the eye blinding stench he'd mustered up. Carlisle had already left for work so I didn't have to explain why I looked like the anti-christ, and I could quietly put a wash on without his harsh words.
Emmett came down, zombiefied, an hour after, rubbing his eyes and forehead and groaning in pain.
"What the fuck did you give me last night?" He slurred, stumbling through the laundry room door.
"Zanex!"
"That wasn't fucking Zanex! Do I look calm to you? I was fucking flying of the walls all night, and not in a good way! Felt like I was in a fucking washing machine on full fucking blast!"
"That's because we took 3 instead of the recommended dosage! One wouldn't of cut it the state you were in last night, desperate for a fucking fix, you would of bulldozed your room!" I pointed out, feeling like absolute shit myself. Washing machine? That's putting it lightly!
"Have you seen my room? It stinks of vomit, piss and shit...I think it pretty much has been bulldozed!" He groaned in pain again falling to the floor and leaning against the wall hunching his knees into his chest. "Never again!" He groaned again. I laughed.
After a much needed shot of vodka, and glass of water we were ready to drag our selves into school. We covered our eyes with our sunglasses again, and unwillingly stepped into the school grounds, still being scrutinised by everyone.
"HEY!" Someone shouted behind me. I spun round to see the principal with a very quizzical brow, staring right at me, definitely pissed! I sighed and dragged my feet over to him.
"Yes sir!" I said with a rather rude tone.
"Mr Banner said you were missing from class yesterday! I suppose you have a good reason for that?" He pried sarcastically, knowing full well I just ditched for no reason.
"Got my period!" I joked, clearly he didn't see the humour. I could hear Emmett bellow into laughter behind me, until the principal stared him down harshly.
"GO TO CLASS BOY!" He screamed at him, turning his attention back to me. "I will NOT take your nonsense! Do you hear me boy?" He yelled, emphasising each word like they were important or something. He reminded me of this dickhead preacher who had tried to convert me by asking me to go on some Christian walk about to ask god to be re-born and revived or some shit like that. I laughed in the fuckers face. "You may have been able to pull stunts like that at your own school, but not here! This is an upstanding school, we don't tolerate ANY hooligans!" He carried on preaching. I wanted to laugh in his face. Was he blind? Could he not see how provocatively dressed all the girls here were? Could he not see couples all but having sex in between periods scattered around the halls and cafeteria? This school was more like a brothel than upstanding! I just nodded to him and went to class, really wanting to avoid sitting in his office all day every day! I guess I was going to have to bite the bullet and go to Biology, as much as I hated it!
Alice
I pulled up outside school this morning, purposefully parking my car next to his. Jasper always got to school 2 hours to early, so I knew he'd be inside somewhere studying. As much as Bella's words rang true in my head, that it would be an impossible task, I still couldn't listen. The more impossible the task the more I couldn't resist. I would not stop until he was mine! Whether I had to use force or not!
Rosalie and Bella met me at the front doors as we went to our first class and ranted on about the party coming up this weekend. Mike Newton, the most VILE boy in the school, was throwing a huge bash at his parents house (whilst they were away on some cruise). As much as everyone hated Mike, because he was such a pervy bastard and not even remotely good looking, he knew how to throw a kick ass party, and the night was always pretty wild. The last party he threw ended up causing 20 grands worth of damage, and got Mike and a few other of his closest mates thrown in a cell for 48 hours. His parents didn't really care much. I guess I felt sorry for Mike in that way. Neither of them cared about him, not even a tiny bit. When they were home they were always at work or staying in their private condo not to far away. And the rest of the time they spent on holidays. Still being rejected by your parents didn't excuse his disgusting behaviour towards women. And I mean disgusting!
"What are you guys wearing on Saturday?" Rosalie asked whilst we all sat painting our nails in...maths class was it? Ah who cares!
"The blue silk dress over my other leather pants. And some big ass heals of course!" Bella enthused. We both oohed and ahed at her, because it was customary with Bella to always make sure you were enthusiastic about her wardrobe choices! No one ever dared question. But her choice sounded really good! Blue suited her complexion really well, and she had the best figure for leather pants!
"I think I might wear the mini red frilly dress, the one daddy bought me for my salsa showcase!" Rosalie suggested. "I wore the black one for that though. Scored me extra points with the judges if you know what I mean!" She winked, laughing to herself. I rolled my eyes at her.
"What are you planning to wear Alice?" Bella asked blowing at her nails.
"No idea yet!" I answered. Bella and Rosalie always pre picked their outfits in advance with a back up outfit standing next to them. They were always so prepared. I on the other had could never fully decided until last minute. Bella shook her head at me.
"I can't wait for this party it's going to be rad!" Rosalie enthused practically jumping up and down.
"Looking forward to seeing Mike again are we?!" Bella joked laughing. Rosalie pulled her face up at her. "I still can't believe you slept with him!" Bella added, laughing more now as I joined in.
"SHUT UP GUYS!" We laughed harder.
"Wasn't he your first as well?" I asked, grimacing at the image of anyone even going near that frog let alone sleeping with him!
"Look it's not a fucking big deal guys leave it!" She ordered, blushing beetroot colour.
"Not a big deal?! Mike was your first are you fucking kidding me?!" Bella screamed as quietly as she could so no one else could hear.
"Shh! Look I knew him since kindergarten right? And then one night when we were 12 we decided to experiment on each other that's all! I wish it had been anyone but him but it wasn't! Just drop it guys please, I'm already embarrassed enough!" She pleaded.
"You never told me this!" Bella accused, looking a little mad.
"She never told me either" I added quickly. "well not all the details. I didn't actually believe he was your first! I mean what the hell were you thinking?"
"I wasn't!"
"That's for damn sure!" Bella said shaking her head. For the rest of the lesson we were all quiet. I took a quick glance to see if Rosalie was ok. It looked as though she had a tear running down her cheek, but the way she was trying to hide her face let me know she wanted to be left alone. So I turned back and pretended to do some work until the bell rang and I hastily made my way to the cafeteria to see him again! The beautiful, stunning Jasper. And then I sighed. This is going to be very hard indeed!
Jasper
"Jasper your science work is slipping!" Principal Aro went on as I sat awkwardly in his old, smelly office. "Your grades in all your other classes are out of this world! Never below a 97% score which is what we strive to find in student! But for some reason your science work reaches no more than a 70% average! I'm thinking maybe we've loaded you with too much, by having you choose the top science class, and maybe we'd be better bringing you down to an intermediate level" It wasn't even a question. I nodded in agreement knowing I didn't really have a choice. Not that it mattered, science was never my strong subject! I didn't see the damn point in it! "We'll test drive it any how, and see how it goes! Effective immediately!" He stated, writing something down on the papers in front of him. I grimaced at the thought of being in another class with different people. I was so used to my original class, and I hated change, because change meant things could get worse. "Looking at your schedule for today it looks as though you have biology before lunch today...instead of going to your normal class please go to Mr Molina's classroom instead, you know where that is don't you?" He asked peering up out of his huge, granny specs!
"Yes I do" I replied smiling confidently.
"Great! Your one of Forks' best students Jasper Whitlock, we just want to see you blossom into a magnificent success!" He boasted, with all this over the top enthusiasm that really wasn't necessary. I knew what I wanted to do with my life, and nobody could make me think differently!
I turned up to my 'new' biology class, scared out of my wits. The kids here were unpredictable, and I had managed to mould into all my classes without receiving any trouble. So this was really pushing my boundaries, especially when I knew a lot of students who were just waiting to jump me at any chance they could! I clutched firm hold of the door and pushed it open, being met with many preying eyes, and a harsh look from Mr Molina.
"Can I help you?" He asked, looking me up and down. "Are you lost boy?"
"N...no" I stuttered, feeling my legs vibrating dementedly underneath me. I didn't dare look at the rest of the class, at risk of being scorned. "Principal Aro sent me here...erm...to join your class..." I said hoping he had been informed to save further embarrassment.
"Ah yes! It's Whitlock right?"
"Yes"
"Well take a seat, anywhere that's free, and don't ever be late to my class again! Lateness is not acceptable in this class!" He informed, with scornful eyes. I hesitantly smiled, and turned to find the nearest, empty seat I could. My mouth dropped to the ground when I saw who was in the class. ALICE! FUCK! SHIT! BUGGER! OH no! Please forgive me god, I thought, mad with myself for using foul language. Damn Alice and her affect on me! To make matters worse she was the only one with a free seat next to her, so I had to painfully stand every day now sat just a few centimetre's from her! It was bad enough we had drama together two times a week, now I had science class with her every single day! What was next? Sex Ed! Blooming Nora!
"Hi" She smiled, as I sat down beside her. My heart stopped beating.
"Hi" I shuddered, smiling back at her like a possessed clown! She didn't seemed too freaked out though.
"So how did you get banished to this sorry class then?" She asked, giggling.
"Erm...Principal Aro sent me. Wasn't doing too well in my other class so I got downgraded!" I replied, attempting to smile normally.
"Well just thank goodness you did!" She said smiling to herself. I blushed bright red and gulped.
"Thanks...I guess" I said, confused as to why she was complimenting me. Maybe it was ok that she liked my ideas in drama, but to actually like...me...was just WOW!
"How you doing these days?" She asked quizzically. I was doing pretty awful, but I wouldn't admit to that.
"Good...yeah. You?"
"Yeah! Fab!" She over exaggerated.
"It's funny talking to you again! Feel like it's ages since we last properly spoke! Madness hey?" She commented, seeming to stare into space.
"Yeah it has! I guess though we...you have your own clique now so, makes thing...difficult!" I stated looking away feeling sad. She seemed to take a deep breath and shift awkwardly.
"Yeh...difficult" She said in a monotone voice. I looked up at her looking very defeated and depressed. I guess life wasn't as peachy for her as I thought.
