Chapter 3 (APOV)
I skipped into the cafeteria and bought myself some lunch. I met the student earlier this morning and offered her a seat at our table. The only word that I could think of that represented her was strange. It was definitely strange how her eyes would wonder to all the exits unconsciously. I doubt she even realized she did. Not only that, but her always flashed with fear when someone came up behind her or when something loud happened.
She watched everything with scrutiny and from what I could see she always folded into herself. Her shoulders hunched in as if she was protecting herself or waiting for something to come in contact with her body.
But in all the strange looks and odd behavior I kept thinking how she looked so familiar. It was absurd thoughts because I had never met her in my life, but I couldn't shake the feeling.
I had all these thoughts about her as I walked over to our table. Jasper hadn't yet arrived, but I knew he would be pissed because he would have most likely heard all the whispers and rumors. Some were kind of funny while others were really hard to listen to. I focused in on what Emmett and Rosalie were talking about. Edward was of in his own little world again.
"Yeah, she's in my history class and every time I looked at her I got this weird feeling that I knew her from somewhere." Emmett said.
"Me too, I had her in my gym class. When class she first entered the gym she was late and I thought she would have just sat out like all the other girls at this school, but she actually started playing soccer with me and the guys." Rosalie stated.
"Well, I invited her to come and sit with us for lunch when I had her in my class for second period." I said, proud of myself for going to talk to her.
Jasper came and sat down across from me. "What's her name?" He sounded stiff and I could just make out the undertone of rage in his voice.
"Isabella Swan-Campton." Jasper choked on his drink. I continued as if he hadn't. I knew he would be fine, but I started to wonder why he seemed so shocked. "But she prefers to be called Bella." I saw him flinch when I said Bella; I would have to remember to ask later on.
"What did you just say her na-" I cut him off before he finish.
"Oh, look here she comes." I started bouncing in my seat. Jasper turned around in his seat and looked at Bella. His face stared at her in shock, wonder, happiness and confusion. I myself was confused. I looked at Bella and she was staring at Jasper. For a few seconds I could have sworn I saw recognition in the depths of her chocolate eyes. Then it was gone. I became even more confused. Did they know each other? I hadn't noticed Jasper had stood up, his expression only held confusion now.
"Hi." Bella said cheerfully, I noticed she hadn't taken her eyes off Jasper, my jealous side started flaring.
Jasper didn't answer, but he did keep staring at her. I rolled my eyes at his rudeness and stood up and pointed to the chair next to me. "Hey, Bella. Come, you can sit next to me." She gave me a small smile and quietly sat down in the chair. Jasper never took his eyes off Bella.
"Hello, my names Edward Cullen." I looked over at Edward he had his hand outstretched to Bella. His green eyes held awe and something else, I couldn't place.
I looked over at Bella. Her face had turned a scarlet, as she took Edward's hand in her own small one. I smiled to myself. This could get interesting. I wonder idly if they liked each other.
Before anyone could say anything else Jasper stormed out of the cafeteria with and agonizing look on his beautiful face. Bella watched after him before turning to me. "Did I say or do something wrong?" Her eyes held a strange amount of fear.
I sighed. "No, you did nothing wrong. It's September 13." I said simply. Not even thinking she wouldn't know what that means.
"Yeah, what does that mean?" Bella asked confusion filling her voice.
"Oh, right, sorry. I'm used to everyone knowing what that meant. Okay, um where to begin?" I asked.
Edward started talking before I could think. "You, see we-me, Emmett and Alice-all met Jasper when he was five. We all knew something was off about him. He would yell at kids when they talked ill of their siblings. He used to yell at us about how lucky we were to have each other, but we never really thought anything of it. Anyway as the years went by He became more and more angry on this day, September 13. He would just start freaking at anyone who talked to him. He's gotten better over the years, but his temper is always on edge on this day." He concluded.
"Why?" Bella still looked confused, but she also looked sort of touched. Like what Edward had just said meant much more to her then anything in the world.
"That's what we want to know. He's never told us." Rose said looking at her plate.
Emmett was still looking in the direction Jasper had left. "We plan to find out today."
"How?" Bella questioned.
"No idea. We had one, but it won't work." He replied looking at her.
JPOV
I stormed out of the cafeteria. I chest hurt with the pain of losing my big sister. I ran to the parking lot and jumped onto my bike. I sped as fast as I could in the rain out of the lot. The rain hit my helmet with a soft click. I hadn't cried over Bella in three years and I don't plan to now. I rode to La Push and walked the beach.
My thoughts ran with how my life could have turned out if Bella didn't die. It hurt looking at this Bella. She looked exactly like I thought my sister would have looked like. I quickly stopped that train of thought in its tracks. I thought for about three hours before I made up my mind to tell the guys what's up. I knew they had been planning on asking me and I figure that I might as well just tell them. I sighed.
They ride back to school was filled with me thinking about how to tell them. When I arrived at school the other students were just coming out. I watched as Bella started walking home. I felt bad for her having to walk all the way home. When I turned my attention back to the school doors I saw Edward, Alice, Emmett and Rose all looking at me with worry filled eyes. I gave them a small smile and waved them over.
They walked over and watched me with curiosity. I let out the breathe I hadn't realized I had been holding and started talking. "I know what you guys were planning, so you can stop it right now." They all opened there mouth to protest, but I silenced them all with one look. "Look, I don't care what you want to says. I will tell you myself. Just follow me home and I'll explain everything there, alright?"
They all nodded. Without further questions I hoped back onto my bike, threw on my helmet and drove to my house. There's no going back now, I thought quietly.
Okay, so please R&R. Also I think I want to start another story. I want to know what you guys think.
Summary: Isabella Swan is a three thousand year old vampire/werewolf hybrid. One day while out hunting she gets cornered by the Cullen's and the La Push werewolves. What will happen when the Volturi come to kill the La Push Pack for being what they are?
So what do you think? Please tell me and if you do I'll update another chapter faster. ;)
