Hello there! Yup!Two chapters in one day. I was too excited about this one to let it go for another week. Also, I'm going to be pretty busy next week, so this might be a present to you guys for possibly making you wait for another chapter. I'll definitely try to post one though.
AN: Okay, so you know how I'm new to this, right? Well I was just wondering if you guys knew what "Life" means in document manager. You know, the life of the document. Is it going to disappear after 90 days? Thanks!
Do I really have to admit that I don't own anything but Bella's attitude? Yes? *Sigh* Stephanie Meyer is the woman who created all of this
Chapter 4
After a little while, the bell rung and I packed away everything but my schedule. I squinted, trying to decipher the messy writing on the piece of paper. I guess the printer must have been broken or something.
"Here, let me help you figure that out," Rose said as she snatched the paper from my hands. "You have gym next," she said after looking at it for a couple of seconds. How she managed to figure that out, I have no clue. Then, I realized what she said and got excited.
A year ago, I would have shivered at just the mention of Phys. Ed, but now I get a rush of excitement. I had managed to hone my motor skills in the past year, and could play practically any sport. I wasn't about to become a wnba player, but I could if I wanted to. I thanked whoever was watching me from above that I had thought to bring gym clothes with me, although I wasn't too sure if they were appropriate for school. Whatever.
"Bells! Jasper and I have that class with you, yay!" Emmett was practically jumping. He was looking more and more like an overgrown child, which amused me to no end. I could have some fun with this kid. I smiled wide, his mood affecting mine.
"Let's do this!" I said as I raised my hand to high-five him. Without thinking, I directed my other hand towards Jasper, which he thankfully returned regardless of the fact that we hadn't spoken one word to each other. Leave it to me to act like we're best friends without even talking.
I left my thoughts behind with Rose as I picked up my bag and raced Emmett to the gym. I won, by the way, but I have a feeling he let me. I quickly entered the locker room and tossed off my crop top, pants, and jewelry. As I turned to my bag to get my workout clothes, I could see the looks of jealousy and envy. Yup, I have a great body. I would hope so. I do work it out.
I put on my MICHI by Michelle Watson Siren sports bra and Nike glow in the dark leggings. Then I slipped on my Bred 11's and put my hair up in a high ponytail. I put some deodorant on, spread lotion on any exposed skin, and sprayed a freshening mist on my body. I put the stuff I had taken off in a locker and locked them away.
I strut towards the exit, and entrance, of the locker room. As I walked out, I could feel everyone's eyes on me. The gym teacher walked up to me, clearly concerned about what I was wearing.
"Um, hi. You must be Isabella Swan. I don't mean to be bossy on the first day, but I don't think that what you're wearing is appropriate gym attire," she said, trying to look at anything but me. She was clearly intimidated. I looked around me and noticed that everyone was listening to every word that was being said. All the guys in the room looked disappointed that I was being made to change, or at least that's what they thought.
"Hi. Yes I am Bella Swan, and I only like to be called Bella. I guess you're just trying to do your job Ms…" I paused, looking down at her expectantly. she was a good three inches shorter than my 5'10" frame.
"Johnson," she filled in shyly.
"…Johnson, but I think I know what proper gym attire is. I'm guessing your real problem is my," I paused, thinking about how I wanted to phrase it. I went for the simple, "Bra. My body needs to be able to breathe as I work out and move around, or else I'll get too hot and tired. I'll also get sweaty and that's not okay. Gym attire needs to be as unrestrictive as possible, so that I can move around in my full range of motion. I work out enough to know what I'm talking about, Ms. Johnson, so I would appreciate it if you let me participate in your class comfortably and freely."
I stared at her, daring her to challenge me. I knew she wouldn't. She reminded me of myself in the past. I felt a little bit of pity for her, and decided to calm the situation.
"Thanks for the concern though. I appreciate it," I smiled as sweetly as possible.
"N-no problem Ms. Swan," she stuttered. Clearly I hadn't been sweet enough. Oh well, what's a girl to do. I walked away and found Emmett gaping at me.
"Bellbear you look HOT!" He screeched. "Wait until Rose sees this! She'll freak. Stay there and pose!" I did what he said and He took a picture. "You can pose too? Sick! You're an awesome addition to the bunch Bells." I giggled.
"What's there to play, Em?" I asked as I looked around the room. There were people playing basketball and volleyball, but they didn't look like very good competition.
"Well I'm waiting for Jasper to come out of the locker room, and then we're gonna go outside and play football," he scratched his head. "You could do something with the other girls outside I guess. You don't seem to like what's going on in here."
"We'll see," I said. He was going to get the surprise of his lifetime. I almost laughed at the fact that he hadn't even thought of me playing football. They were going down.
"What were you sayin' 'bout me Em?" I heard Jasper ask as he walked up to us. I was suddenly very aware of my surroundings.
"Nothing, bro. Just that we're going out to play football and that Bella's gonna have to figure out what she wants to do," Emmett's smile was bright on his face. Does this kid ever stop smiling? I liked it though.
We walked out of the gym and towards the football players and, of course, cheerleaders. I guess this is what Emmett meant by other girls. I noticed that among the cheerleaders was Alice Cullen. I kept myself from groaning, but definitely allowed an eye roll. Jasper shot me a surprised look. I guess he saw that. I shrugged back at him, and we went different ways. I wanted to see what I was going up against in football, and I could only really do that while observing from the sidelines.
As I walked up to the cheerleaders, I saw fifteen necks break to see me. They all had a world of makeup on, except Alice, and they were all glaring. I felt like I was in a movie.
"So, I was thinking I could join. What's going on?" I asked, hoping to clear the air a little. Alice scoffed a little. What is her problem?
"Bella, isn't it? We're just doing a bit of cheerleading practice. I'm sure there's something more interesting for you out there," she said as she looked pointedly towards a group of nerds studying. Fourteen people started giggling around me.
"Oh, that's cool. I'll just sit and watch. Maybe you could teach me a thing or two," I grinned. As if she could do that.
"Sure," she said dismissively. I sat there, watching them, for a couple of minutes. Clearly they were working on their gymnastics. They were barely any good, however, so I changed my focus. The so-called football players, other than Emmett and Jasper, could barely stay on their feet while they were getting tackled. All they were doing was running straight ahead, no dodging or anything. They clearly needed help. Right before I was about to excuse myself and join the players, Alice decided to let her presence known again.
"Bella? Did you get bored? Sorry if this is too complicated for you," she said, feigning worry. I smirked.
"Actually, Alice was it? This is all elementary to me. I actually got bored because I could do everything you're doing and more in my sleep, and actually land the moves," I looked her dead in the eye with a perfect poker face. She was clearly furious though.
"Oh, really? Maybe you should come up here and show us your talent then," she practically screeched.
"Fine, but you guys are going to have to give me some space," I said nonchalantly.
I got up without another word, stood in front of Alice, and breathed in. I could hear the murmurs of the other girls, but it just calmed me even more. I raised my hand and did a cartwheel. I heard more giggles. They thought that was all I had and were judging so soon, too bad I wasn't. In all honesty, I would have been judged better on that perfect cartwheel alone, compared to all their terribly done moves.
I breathed again and started running. I did a somersault and turned my hand halfway so I could start going backwards. I somersaulted backwards a couple of times before launching myself in the air, where I proceed to do a triple flip. I landed perfectly, but I still was't done.
I started doing Gabby Douglas's London 2012 Olympic gold medal-winning floor routine, and their mouths dropped when they realized. If people weren't already watching, they were now. I finished the routine, no problem, and looked at Alice. I raised my eyebrow and dared her to say anything, and she didn't.
"Alright, everyone," I shouted at the crowd that had gathered. "I don't see why you guys are still here. Show's over!" They all started whispering to each other and walking away. Emmett and Jasper came up to me.
"Holy crap, Bells! That was the coolest shit I have seen in a while!" Emmett hit me on my back, leaving me more breathless than the routine had.
"Cool it, Em," Jasper whispered. Was I supposed to hear that? "That was great, Bella," he said to me. I loved the way my name sounded coming from his mouth.
Before I could respond, the bell rang, signaling the end of class.
"Welp, I guess I should get changed," I said as I ran to the locker room.
I walked out of the locker room and bumped into something cold and hard. I looked up and saw that it was Jasper. I quickly stepped back, resisting the urge to get as close to him as possible. My clumsiness seemed to come back for that second though, and I ended up finding myself falling backwards. All I could do was watch him in horror as I fell.
"Woah, there," he said as he grabbed me by the arm and then waist. I felt sparks where he was touching me, and, as he pulled me closer to him and I felt like we were the only two people who existed. He awkwardly let go of me.
"I was told we have the same class, so I figured we should walk there together," he said with a sheepish grin. So hot.
"Um, that's great," I said awkwardly. Everything seemed to be going so awkward. Then, I realized that this was the first conversation we've ever had and started feeling even more embarrassed. I looked down at my feet, hoping a hole would open up and swallow me right then and there. As soon as the feelings came, they disappeared and were replaced with a sense of calm. I liked it, but it was weird. I looked up at Jasper immediately, and decided that we had been standing in the same spot for way too long. At least the confidence is back.
"Let's go."
"Let's go," he agreed. We walked out of the gym and quickly noticed that not a single soul was roaming the halls.
"Well I guess we're late," I said.
"I guess so."
"Do you really feel like going to class?" I asked. I certainly didn't, and wanted to skip. I was hoping he would want to as well, and we could get to know each other better. The urge to wiggle my eyebrows was back. As if anything would happen.
"Not really. Thinkin' of doin' somethin' interestin'?" he smirked. So many thoughts rushed to my head and I could have sworn his smirk widened. Must be imagining things.
"We could go somewhere and get to know each other. Emmett deemed me good enough for the group, so you should too. I doubt you can do that without getting to know me," I winked. Suddenly he turned serious, and, if he could get any more panty-dropping sexier, he did. I tripped on thin air again and found myself falling for the second time with the same guy. He was quick to save me. My prince charming. He doesn't feel like a prince though, more like a king. He pulled me up, and I felt the same electricity again. This time, though, he pulled me closer to him, and I could feel his breath on my face. I looked up at him and he looked feral. It was one of the hottest things I had ever seen in my life.
Before I knew it, he crushed his lips on mine and we were kissing with a passion I had never experienced before. We backed up to a wall and I found my body pressed between the wall and his. I licked his bottom lips, silently asking for entrance. He complied and we began to explore each others mouths. He tasted like cinnamon and apples, and he smelled like leather, pumpkin pie, and that after rain smell. I loved it. I moved my hands from around his neck to his hair at the same time that he grabbed my legs and moved them around his waist. His hands alternated from being around my face and around my waist. I smiled against his lips, and I swear he growled. Hot. I pushed myself closer to him and he deepened the kiss. After a couple of seconds, I remembered I needed to breathe. I pushed my head back and away from him, and he immediately started littering kisses along my neck and down my neck. Every once in a while he would nip at the sensitive skin there, making my heart flutter.
"Jasper," I gasped. He murmured something in response, but continued giving me butterfly kisses. I let him do his thing as I caught my breath, and suddenly I was hearing footsteps.
"Jasper," I said with a little more urgency. "Someone's coming." He kind of snapped out of it, but only a little. He let me down on my feet, which surprised me since I had forgotten I he was my only support as we were…kissing? It was definitely more intense than that.
I grabbed my face and gave me one last peck on the lips, sealing the deal. Then, before turning around, he gave me the sexiest smirk I have ever seen on anyone's face. Of course, I had to return it, and, if possible, his eyes turned darker.
The whole fiasco was going to start again if it wasn't for whoever it was walking over to us. I looked up, curious now as to who had so rudely interrupted us, and my mouth dropped. I swear he has it out for me or something. This is getting a bit weird, and I don't think I'm overreacting.
Walking towards us with confidence, Mr. Moore had his eyebrow raised and a knowing smile on his face. I wanted to wipe it right off. I looked at Jasper and couldn't tell if he was worried, upset, or just angry. I feel the same way.
Ding! It was as if a light had gone off in my head. I knew what I was going to do to get us out of this, and to give poor Mr. Moore something to think about later. Hopefully it'll keep him off my ass.
JPOV
Her cheeks were tinted red and her hair was a bit messy. I'm sure I looked similar, minus the cheek thing. Peter was going to give me hell for this. I could feel his satisfaction as if they were my own feelings. I was starting to regret agreeing to him and Char coming to stay.
Apparently, though, something important was going to happen and he just had to be here. As if I would've said no to my brother. Still, he had ruined a pretty food moment and I wasn't happy. Hope he felt good enough to deal with the little bit of the major that had leaked out.
Hopefully he made whatever he had planned quick, or I would beat his ass later.
"Jasper, Bella," he started. "What are you two doing out of class?" I looked down at Bella and she was furious. I could also feel a little bit of mischievousness coming through, and wondered what she had planned.
She walked the few steps between her and Peter and looked down. She looked shy at the moment, but all she was feeling was humor. She looked up at him through her eyelashes, allowing he blush to come through on her face, and pouted a bit.
"Mr. Moore," she sighed, "I'm such a clutz. We were just in gym and I was doing cheerleading and I fell of the pyramid. I knew I was fine, but nobody else believed me, so they wanted to send me to the nurse. Jasper volunteered." At this point, her hand was on his shoulder. Does she treat all her teachers this way? A low growl started forming in my chest, one too low for Bella to notice, and I started glaring daggers at Peter.
He didn't notice. The man bitch didn't notice! He was too enraptured by my Bella that I wasn't affecting him. There would be none of that. Bella was about to continue, but I cut her off.
"You heard the story Mr. Moore," I spat his name, anger rolling out of me in waves. He was definitely worried now. He better have a good excuse for this, or him being my brother won't help him today.
Bella seemed to register my possessiveness in some part of her mind. She had moved away from Peter and positioned herself behind my back. Perfect, my demon purred.
"I suggest you head back to whatever class you have, Mr. Moore. Bella could be seriously hurt."
"Yes," he bent his head down slightly to show submissiveness, and whispered major at the end so Bella couldn't hear.
Without any more words, I took Bella by the hand and walked away. We turned the corner and I had her up to my face and on the wall again. She looked surprised, but understanding flickered in her eyes and emotion. Confusion was also a prominent emotion coming from her, but it was understandable since she didn't know where her understanding was coming from.
She doesn't know that she's mine and I'm hers yet. We have to fix that. Tell her now! My demon growled. I had to reign him in before he got violent, even though I knew I would never hurt my Bella.
I kissed her passionately and, although she returned the kiss with the same amount of lust, passion, and love as I did, she was still confused. I had a feeling my girl was the type to get her answers when she wanted them.
She pulled away and looked at me dead in the eye. Her small hands were holding the side of my face and she was definitely determined.
"Jasper?" She asked calmly. "What the fuck was that?"
I couldn't help the chuckle that escaped me.
Woo that was a long one. This was pretty exciting for me to write :) Did you expect Mr. Moore to be who he is? I tried to hint at it earlier, so I hope it was a nice surprise. I actually enjoyed writing this one and I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I did writing it. See you next chapter!
