"But Alice-"

"No." Alice told her brother firmly. "You have to apologise to him." Emmett glared at her.

"Why?"

"Because it wasn't nice!" Alice said loudly, causing people to stare at her. "You just have to say you're sorry. It's not that hard." Emmett looked down.

"Maybe for some." He muttered quietly, earning himself another look from Alice. "Fine!" He snapped, before stalking off to where he could see the back of Jasper's head. He slowed down as he approached. Emmett coughed making Jasper turn around. The curious look in Jasper's brown eyes glazed over into a cold stare when he saw who it was.

"Yes?" Jasper asked as politely as he could given his dislike towards Emmett.

"I'm here to apologise." Emmett said. Piercing blue eyes met brown, as he glared back at Jasper.

"You don't seem to be in a very apologetic mood," Jasper snorted.

"Well, you don't seem to be in a very forgiving mood," Emmett shot back.

"Whatever." Jasper said, shutting his locker and picking up his backpack. "It's cool what you did to me. It's just whether Rose will see it that way. I think you should apologise to her." He gave Emmett one last icy look and walked off down the corridor.

Seeing Jasper walk away, Alice ran over to Emmett.

"Well, how'd it go?" She asked him tilting her head to the side. Emmett looked at her, his eyes wide.

"He told me it was fine. Just to apologise to Rose. But he didn't seem very happy about it."

Alice sighed. "Right. Well, I guess the next stop is getting Rosalie back to you." She looked at Emmett with a curious expression. "Jasper didn't look very mean. Are you sure you were nice about it?" She asked. Emmett sighed Crossly and stalked off down the corridor. Alice shook her head, and headed the other way.

Jasper got to his class a couple of minutes late, but after excusing himself he slipped quietly to his seat opposite Rosalie. She nodded in his direction, but gave no other indication that she knew he was there. Jasper leant across the table.

"Rose." He whispered quietly. "Emmett wants to talk to you I think." Jasper watched as her flawless features turned from relaxed to cold dislike.

"Why should I care?" She shot back at him before flipping her hair and opening her textbook. Sighing, Jasper tried to find hi own place in the book.

A short while after they had been set the work, Mrs Heathwood wondered around the classroom. She was an old lady, but she had the air of someone who'd been very beautiful In her day. She had never aspired to be a teacher to a bunch of Kids who probably wouldn't get into college. She had dreams, just like the rest of us, but they'd never worked out. Now as she walked around this dusty old maths classroom full of chatting teenagers, she saw the reclusive blonde boy who'd just moved struggling with his algebra.. Taking pity on him, she walked slowly over to him.

"Are you all right dear?" She asked, causing his head to snap up. She took note of the puzzled look etched on his tanned skin.

"Uh, yeah. Fine thanks." He said, writing a random 2 on his page. Mrs Heathwood shook her head but walked on, her thoughts drifting back to tonight's dinner, and how her husband would be waiting for her to get home. Jasper looked down at his page again. As the numbers swirled on his page, he began to get a sore head.

When the bell rang at 12.00, he snapped out of his daydream and put his books in his bag. He stood up, and followed the large crowd of shoving teenagers into the hall. He was glad to be out of the stuffy maths room, even if that meant transferring to a busy corridor. He hated Maths and anything to do with it. At his old school in Texas, He'd been used to messing around with his friends, under the tired old nose of Dr Murphy. Or as he was known behind his back: Dr Murphy-Chess Legend, Maths Failure. Jasper and his friend Peter had once spent an entire lesson ripping the pages of their textbooks, and Dr Murphy hadn't even cared. Jasper smiled at the memory. They were only young then, and it was hardly the most mischievous thing they'd ever done.

Jasper missed his friends from Texas. Some of them hadn't been very nice people, like Maria Sanchez, but his best friends Peter and Charlotte had always been there for him. It was only until they'd started dating that Jasper started hanging out with Maria. He didn't like her much, but in the absence of his friends, he'd needed the company. Maria had never been a nice girl. She was controlling and selfish, but she knew it. Jasper hadn't minded at first, but once she thought they were dating she became clingy. He'd tried to break it off nicely, but she wasn't having it. Finally, Jasper said he'd cheated on her. This caused her to have a fit, and throw a bucket of hot water over his front.

"You shouldn't have told her in the middle of Home Ec, man." Peter had said when he'd taken Jasper to the nurse to check for burns.

Jasper snapped out of the memory, and found himself outside his locker. Not quite sure as to how he got there, he opened his locker and placed them in his rucksack. He dropped off his Maths and Chemistry books before shutting the locker and swinging the bag on his shoulder. HE was about to walk away when he heard a voice from beside him.

"Hi. I'm Alice."

He looked down to see a small girl with excited misty eyes. Her spiky black hair was startling compared to her chalky clear skin. Jasper couldn't help but smile before remembering to speak.

"Hey. I'm Jasper Whitlock." He said in his deep voice. "You look familiar. Have we met?" He asked. Alice shook her head.

"You've met my brother Emmett. " Alice watched as Jasper frowned.

"Oh yeah."

Alice looked at him. Quickly, she tried to change the subject. "So... how're you finding Alaska?" She asked. "It must be pretty different to Texas."

Jasper Shrugged. "Yeah. It's freezin' here. I don't know how Y'all can live here, and not have to wear 18 layers of clothing." He laughed. "I was freezing my...uh.. ass off last night." Jasper coughed and turned red. "Have you lived here your whole life?"

Alice smiled. "Yeah. Well, I only went to live with Esme when I was two. Em was three then, when she adopted us. Edwards not adopted though. He's Esme s son from a past relationship but he sees Carlisle as a father. We all do." She stopped. "Sorry, I'm blabbering aren't I?"

Jasper shook his head. "Nah, It's interesting." They smiled at each other for a minute, before heading towards the canteen together. "So, were where you?" Jasper asked. Alice stared at him for a few seconds before answering. "I was telling you about my family." She replied.

"Oh, yeah."

Okay, not a great Ending but I can't figure out a way to end this chapter so... :)
