Stupid Introductory meetings. There's absolutely nothing to do. Most of the
student body is gathered out in the court. Amazing how there still seem to be
clicks everywhere you look. I looked at Leel who was chatting with a couple of
kids that would be in her classes. I noticed she was chatting up a kind of cute boy
with wavy black hair that was cut short. We were kind of distant from anyone
else. Me more then the rest. I wasn't really a people person sometimes. I had a
stranger phobia once in a while. I as weird I admit that don't need to remind me.
I already know something wrong with me move on with your lives. I looked
around the court bored. There was another group of kids quite distant, they sat
more in the shade even though it was freezing. I looked at them each in turn.
There was a bronze haired one who was ridiculously cute, a pixie like girl with
spiky black hair, a brunette that was big and burly talking to a blonde with more
curves than I could dream of and then lastly another blonde who seemed kind of
distant from the rest of them. I knew that look. He wasn't distant just spaced
out, like in a different world. I noticed the book in his hands. He was reading. I
could appreciate that. It was rare that you saw people lost in public in different worlds.
Then I looked at the cover that I could spot miles away. A Stephenie Meyer masterpiece.
The red broken ribbon clear to me as any other obsessed fan could see. Eclipse.
A guy reading Eclipse. Which meant he read the series. Which meant he had opinions.
Which meant that I was staring at a blonde guy who liked reading and had good taste in books.
Heaven shoot me this is not happening. A guy reading what I would call a girl book.
A blonde guy reading a girl book. No offense to blondes but I mean hey.
Before I knew what was happening I was walking over to them, him. The questions buzzed around in my head. I was intrigued to say the least. When I was several feet away the bronze looked up and seemed to smile. Wow, cute but the blonde I'm curious.
"Hi." I said shyly. The bronze smiled more warmly to me but it was directed to the blonde not him. Not trying to be rude. He finally looked up and nodded.
"I'm sorry not meaning to interrupt you from reading, great book by the way, but I couldn't help but notice from across the way what you were reading and I liked to ask you about it if you don't mind." He smiled in a way for me to continue.
"Mind if I sit?" He scooted over and I sat down.
"What did you want to know?"
"You're reading Eclipse?"
"Yes."
"By Stephenie Meyer?"
"Yes."
"Wow."
"What?"
"I never seen a guy read the series before. No offense but I always thought it was a girl book like guys never read that. But to see a guy read it and take an interest in it which by how engrossed you were I could tell that you were. It's intriguing."
"Interesting opinion." He smiled.
"Thanks. Can I ask you something else? And I mean no offense by this. None at all." He nodded, although he looked scared.
"Are you gay?" He was definitely taken aback. The big burly one broke out laughing. It was very loud.
"No." He was embarrassed.
"Taken right?"
"Yes." I laughed.
"Why?" The spiky girl laughed.
"Ever heard the phrase 'All the good guys are either gay or taken'?"
She giggled. "Yeah."
"I mean look at what he's reading. Ladies charmer, no." I couldn't help but laugh forgetting my fear of strangers completely. He smiled.
"Have you read it?" He asked me.
"Only once or twice or ten times maybe more." I smiled back.
"Who's your favorite character?" I countered.
"Jasper, easily." The rest looked confused. "You?"
"Alice by far." The pixie girl lit up in a smile, but I couldn't be sure. Wasn't paying attention.
"Alice is my second favorite." He laughed.
"Edward would be mind. Then Jasper, Emmett, Rose, Esme, Carlisle, and at the very end Bella. I absolutely loathe Jacob Black." He seemed interested.
"Why do you hate Jacob?"
"What's not to hate about Jacob. He's a stupid adolescent werewolf. He tried to break Bella and Edward apart when anyone who is literate can see they belong together."
"What about Bella?"
"An I idiot. I mean come on she does so many stupid things in the series it isn't even funny. She thought Laurent had her mom when it was clearly a ploy. She didn't believe Edward loved her, that is so obvious. She fell for Jacob's tricks. And most importantly she actually debated on Jacob and Edward. Anyone with half a brain would choose Edward. He's Edward. The overly protective, smart know it all who loved her and she debated it."
I lifted up my hands to show a scale. "Edward." The left hand went up.
"Jacob." The right hand fell.
"And I totally see why Rose didn't like her. She was willing to trade all her future away to be with Edward, which wouldn't be so bad. But she didn't even consider what she would be leaving. Her family, friends, getting old, having kids, retiring." I had to laugh at the last one.
"But I guess I can relate with her on some things. Yes Edward is ridiculously gorgeous. And Jacob did help her in her time of need although I still say werewolves suck. And without her we would have never met the Cullens of the Hales which are the best part of the entire series."
At the end of my little rant the big burly one started a small applause ended only by the blonde girl hitting him upside the head.
"Charlie by the way. Or you might start calling me insane." I stuck out my hand for him to shake. He took it and my hand was lost in his grip.
"Jasper."
"I love your name already." I smiled.
"You didn't let me finish." I begged for him to continue.
"I'm Jasper. Jasper Hale."
"What?" I was taken aback.
"Your kidding me right?" I looked around at them all. My eyes landed on the bronze last. He looked scared at my reaction.
"Play a prank on the different one. This is why I don't open up to people it only leads me getting hurt. Maybe they're right. Maybe I'm a tad obsessed. But this still isn't funny. Your joke is not funny."
"We're not joking." The spiky haired one which I guess would be Alice said.
"I'm dreaming. This is not happening. The greatest fictional characters known to women and some men I guess, are not real. They can't be." I felt something sharp on my elbow.
"Ow."
"What was that for."
Jasper looked at me and smiled. "I pinched you, you're not dreaming see. And I know how you feel remember. I thought you read the series. I thought you were the biggest fan."
"Stupid empath." I looked around at them all, they were staring like I was about to have a nervous breakdown. But that already happened.
"You do exist?" My question was aimed at all of them but Emmett, being the Emmett I knew from the books.
"We're fictional characters? How am I supposed to know if I exist. I'm confused."
"Idiot." Rose hit him on the head.
"Oh my gosh you are real." I put my hand over my mouth.
"And Emmett's stupidity proves that? I pinched you." Jasper said in a huff. I looked at the bronze god. Edward. Wow I now realized how embarrassing my little rant was.
"It wasn't that bad." Jasper whispered. And Edward reading his mind, duh, smiled the infamous crooked smile that was absolutely breath taking. Bella was right.
"Hey, stop lusting after my brother jeez." I almost died right there, as Emmett roared in laughter at Jasper's tease.
"Wow you are hot." I whispered burning up behind my hand. And then it all clicked in.
"No way, no way, no way!" I screeched throwing my arms around Jasper in a huge hug.
"Yes way, yes way, yes way." Emmett echoed. I ran over and hugged him too then Rose who awkwardly patted my back. Alice looked sad.
"I don't get a hug? I thought I was your favorite." She did the puppy eyes.
"Of course you do." I hugged her as tight as I could if she really were a dream she would have been gone by now. But being the real vampire she was she hugged back. Hard.
"Alice can't breathe." She pulled back.
"Sorry."
"Alice I can't breathe." I started doing a happy dance and Alice joined in.
"You can't breathe, you can't breathe."
"Way to go Edward got yourself another insane one." Emmett hollered. Only did Emmett saying his name remind me he was here. I stopped happy dancing long enough to look at him, although Alice was disappointed.
"Edward." I whispered. He looked at me and smiled.
"Edward!" I practically tackled him that would have made a normal person fall over, but again vampire he caught me and settled me on his lap as I gave him a huge hug.
"Ow your hard." I laughed at that. And then laughed harder at what I said.
"What?" He wanted to know. Emmett got it and started laughing and then Jasper catching our emotions joined in. Edward reading Emmett's mind and finally got the joke, his face turned from amused to kind of disgusted.
"That's kind of disgusting."
"But funny." I laughed.
"And disgusting."
"But funny none the less. And if you didn't want to know what it was about you shouldn't have read his mind."
"That little mind trick of yours can be a curse can't it." I realized I was still on his lap and stood up, somewhat embarrassed.
"Not a word Jasper." I warned him because his mouth was almost open.
"Can you read my mind?" I looked at Edward, he was amused again. Mood swings, something we had in common.
"No, I can't." Disappointment layered his tone. I giggled to his annoyance.
"Cool."
"Why? You don't want to share your thoughts with me?" His eyes began to smother. s this is what Bella was talking about. Being dazzled. It was one thing reading it but another entirely to witness it. and I was not going to fall for it.
"Nice try. Nope." I popped the p. I looked around at the group again they were amused. And that's when it dawned on me. Something was missing. Someone was missing. Who I kept repeating the name without realizing it. And I didn't even notice when I didn't see her.
"Where's Bella?" All eyes locked on Edward.
I hoped you liked it even if it was short but an update is better than no update. Right? I hoped you enjoyed it and won't flame me but review if you have suggestions. I'm looking for a plot in the upcoming chapters so if you have an idea you know where to send it. Anything you would like to see maybe in hte upcoming chapters.
