The first three periods of the day were so boring. All anyone was talking about was this feisty, hot new girl who pushed Eric out in the parking lot just for asking her out. There was so much lust and jealousy floating around the school today that I was going crazy. Even the teachers were either felt either lust or envy towards this new girl. It was so obnoxious. Edward and I walked to lunch after English class complaining to each other about our days. He was in the same boat as me except he had to listen to the details of their fantasies to. I was silently grateful I could just feel the lust instead of hearing all the details. We walked into the lunchroom and it hit me like a tidal wave. All the lust and envy that is. Edward made a face of disgust as we joined our family at the table. Edward instantly wrapped himself around Alice and kissed her passionately.

"Please, please stop." I begged them. "I can't deal with anymore lust."

Emmett let out a loud booming laugh. "What's wrong, Jasper?"

"Every guy in this school is so freaking lustful for the new girl even the teachers!" I groaned.

"They all have sick minds! Dirty fantasies." Edward shook his head in disgust.

Emmett laughed even hard at our discomfort. "She can't be that hot."

At that very minute, the door opened. Everyone looked over at the same time as if practiced numerous times. Then she appeared. The most beautiful person I have ever seen. All I could tell she was wearing was the long black coat that was buttoned with three big buttons and black knee-high high-heeled boots. Her long, wavy brown hair cascaded down her back. Her pale skin contrasted brilliantly with her chocolate brown eyes.

I felt my own lust rise in my body as I stared at her. She scowled at everyone who looked at her. Her eyes fixed into a glare as if it were stuck that way as she gracefully glided to an empty table and dropped her bag with a heavy thud.

"I could be wrong." Emmett mumbled. I heard Rose slammed him hard on the back of the head. "Ow, Rosie you know you are the hottest woman ever."

"Jazz." Alice called me. "Jasper!"

"Huh?" I snapped back to reality and looked at her.

"Oh my god, you think she's pretty!" She squealed.

"Yeah, he does." Edward grimaced causing me to glare at him. "You should hear what he's thinking about her."

I ignored him and flicked my eyes up to the new girl. She was staring in our direction. Then it was like shock slapped her in the face. She rose quickly and dumped her tray. Grabbing her bag, she briskly yet oh so gracefully walked out. What the hell was that?

"What was that?" Rose asked.

"I don't know." I said still staring in the direction she left.

"Edward, did you get anything from her head?"

"No. Nothing."

"What was she thinking about?"

"No, I mean, I couldn't hear anything at all." His eyes were wide with shock as his own words seemed to register in his mind. This had never happened before except with a few select vampires who had a shield. But she was human!

"That's impossible." I told him. "Maybe you weren't close enough."

"I can hear Mike's nasty thoughts, and he's on the other side of the cafeteria."

I ran at human speed to my car. I needed a place to hide out until lunch was over so I could call Aunt Nicole and tell her about this development. In all my years, I had only ever come across three vampires who were passing through Boston on their way north. I had only directly come in contact with two, and one of those meeting didn't end so great. He ended up trying to bite me, and I had to tear him to shreds, which is hard when you also have to be concerned about not cutting yourself on anything in the process.

"Aunt Nicole." I said as I unlocked the door to my car.

"Bella? Is everything okay? Why aren't you in school?"

"I am in school. But there's a problem…"

"Oh god, I knew I shouldn't have let you go alone at such a fragile part of your life. I'm sorry, Bella. What happened? Did someone find out?"

"No, no, Aunt Nicole. It's not like that. Nothing's happened to me. I was in lunch, and I saw these five way too beautiful people. I mean inhumanly beautiful people." I stressed the word inhumanly.

"Vampires?" She gasped.

"Five of them." I sighed resting my head back on the headrest.

"Bella, you must get away from them. Come home, please."

"Their 'veggie' vampires, Aunt Nicole." 'Veggie vampire' was my cute name for what my biological father was. Since he didn't drink human blood, he was like a vegetarian.

"But you don't know what they'll do."

"My father didn't hurt my mother." I pointed out.

"That was one vampire, Bells. This is five that we know nothing about."

I sighed heavily as I heard the bell sound. "I have to go."

"But…"

"I'll be careful. I'll call you as soon as I'm out of school, okay?"

"I'm worried…"

"People like me are rare. There's a good chance they had no idea what I am." I said as I walked back towards the school. "I'll talk to you later." I said, hung up, and slipped my phone into the pocket of my bag. I walked into building C for biology. The teacher looked up, and his eyes widened. This was really getting old. After the whole discovery at lunch thing, I was in no mood for some disgusting old man to gawk at me. I walked up to the desk and handed him the slip.

"Hi, you must be Isabella Swan." He smiled creepily at me. I glared at him as he took my hand to shake it. When he didn't let go of my hand after introducing himself, I got mad.

"Do you mind giving me my hand back?" I snapped.

He looked embarrassed and signed my slip quickly pushing it and my book towards me mumbling for me to sit at the middle back table with someone named Jasper Hale. I gave him one last stern glare before moving to my seat. I hate people, especially old people who look at like you're a piece of meat. Ugh, it's so gross. "How could I get back at this teacher for being a dirty, dirty old man?" I silently mused, waiting for class to start.

I couldn't stop thinking about the new girl as I walked into my next class, biology. I mechanically walked to my table not even noticing someone was sitting in the seat beside mine until I felt anger. I glanced up and froze when I saw her sitting in the once empty seat at my table looking too distracted to notice my presence. I inhaled through my nose expecting to smell her scent. There was the smell of something mouthwatering that I could place coming off of her, but I didn't feel my usual blood lust. What the hell was going on with this girl? I found myself staring at her as I sunk into my seat. She was even more beautiful up close. After a second, she seemed to snap back to reality as her head whirled around to look at me. I felt worry and lust wash over her. Odd combination.

"Hi, I'm Jasper Hale." I introduced myself before I really thought about it. She seemed to tense a little before relaxing again.

"Bella." She replied with a small smile. Her voice was musical and soft yet had a little edge in it. And there was the tiniest trace of a Boston accent laced within it. God, it was beautiful. Just like everything about her.

I was at a lost to what to say next. I want to keep her talking. I wanted to hear her voice. "How do you like Forks?" I blurted out. This wasn't like me. What is wrong with me? I never 'blurt' things out.

She shrugged and looked at me. She seemed hesitant as if she had a reason to be afraid of me or something. She did, but she didn't know it yet. Maybe it was instincts. But maybe not. There was a significant amount of worry in her emotions as if she knew she needed to worry over something. But what? And why would she be lustful if she knew what I was? This is so confusing!

"It's alright. I'm still trying to get used to it."

"Where are you from?"

"Boston."

I was about to ask her why she moved here but the teacher cut us off. She turned back as her eyes turned into a glare. I could feel the lust rolling off the teacher in wave. Disgusting old man. Maybe she had noticed it too. But she wasn't empathic like me. She couldn't be because she's human after all. She had blood pumping through her veins and a heartbeat. But her blood didn't appeal to me like other human's. Something was different about this girl. What? I don't know yet.
