Chapter 8
Bella and Rosalie left my house at around ten o'clock the next morning and we made plans to hang out at their house tonight. We were going to plan what we would do on the last day of school since it was Tuesday. Exams were over, excitement was in the air, and we could absolutely NOT wait to get the rest of our summer wardrobes.
So, until then I got some breakfast, drove to the bookstore, got a DVD, and ate lunch at McDonalds. By the time I got done it was 7:30 and I had only minutes left to get to the Cullen's. I ran into the house to find my brothers in their usual spot, the living room in front of the flat screen.
"Hi guys, bye guys!" I said as I ran up the stairs.
"Where ya going Ali?" Emmett yelled up to me
"The Cullen's, why?" I called back
"Mind if we um….. come along?"
"No why?" I asked while I gathered up my MacBook, iPod, power cords and bag.
"No reason" he replied too quickly
I knew something was up I suspected they just wanted to see Bella and Rose but I knew they would never admit it.
"Well okay let's go."
The next thing we knew we were walking up the drive to the Cullen's front door. I rang the bell and someone unfamiliar answered the door. He was just like Esme, Carlisle, Bella, and Rosalie breathtakingly gorgeous. He had honey blonde hair and was tall and lean. He had pale features and the same golden eyes I had seen so many times before.
"Um can I help you?" he said
"Oh um I ah" I stuttered after realizing I had been standing there for about five whole minutes lost in thought. Thankfully, Bella came to the door and saved me.
"Alice, you're finally here!" she exclaimed
"Uh who are they?" the boy asked.
"Oh yeah, right, introductions. Well Emmett, Alice, Edward this is Jasper my brother. Jasper, meet Alice, Emmett, and Edward Brandon."
"Oh Edward?" Jasper asked "isn't Edward the one that Rose said you wer-" but he was silenced when Bella discreetly elbowed him.
"So um...come in I guess..." Bella mumbled
"Hey kids" Esme greeted us warmly
"Hey Esme" we greeted her back
"There are some cookies in the kitchen if you guys get hungry."
"Thanks Esme"
"You're quite welcome, dears. You kids have fun"
"So Alice, Rose is upstairs waiting" Bella informed me
"Okay I'm coming see you later I guess Jasper"
"Yeah…see you" he replied slowly
Bella and I soon were making our way up the spiraling staircase when she spoke.
"So what d'you think of Jazz?"
"Oh he seems…cool" More like intimidating I thought.
I could tell she sensed my hesitation.
"Don't worry you'll get used to him. He's actually pretty great." She replied.
"I'll take your word for it." I smiled.
