Chapter Nine:
"Ann stop fidgeting." Alice said with a smile on her face. Today was Ann's first day at Fork's high, and to say she was nervous was a vast understatement. Alice had straightened her hair for her making her look very attractive. "Okay now for your outfit." She tossed Ann a pair of skinny jeans which she proceeded to put on.
"Alice how can you fit into these things, no wonder you people frown so much these days." She said as she tried to squeeze herself into a pair. Ann was thin but not as thin as Alice, she had some curves to her making her a fuller figured woman. But Alice told her that her curves were her asset. They were in all the right places giving her a marvelous hour glass figure. "Finally," she stated as she got the pants on and zipped them up. The jeans hugged her in a flattering way.
"And here is your top," the top was a simple blue swoop neck top with a slight button down collar effect. Showed off some of Ann's cleavage but not to the point where it would be considered scandalous.
"Oh Jasper is going to be all over you." Alice said with a slight giggle.
"Alice!" Ann's cheeks were beat red.
Both turned around when they heard someone clear their throat. Rosalie was standing in the door way with something in her hand. "I think this would be better." She said calmly as she handed over a peasant style top. It was brown with some embroidery on the front. "Oh Rose that's perfect," Alice said happily as Ann put the shirt on.
The two girls stood on either side of Ann as all three of them looked at her reflection. "You know I think I have some boots that would go very well with this." Alice dashed off to her closet.
"You, you have very nice hair." Rose said as her hand caressed the red locks of hair.
"Um…thank you."
"Found them!" Alice ran back over and began to slip the boots over Ann's feet.
"Ann," she looked up at Rose "Would you…like me to do your makeup for you?" Slowly Ann nodded with a small smile on her face and in return Rosalie smile as she sat her down in front of Alice's vanity.
"Girls you best hurry up." Esme came in and couldn't help at the sight before her. Alice and Rosalie were talking to Ann and giving her makeup tips and style tips the whole nine yards. "Okay ladies let's get you off to school it's time to go."
Alice handed Ann a jacket before the three rushed down stairs to the garage where the rest of the family was waiting. Jasper looked up and saw Ann standing there with Alice and Rosalie. "You know I think I can get used to her being here. She will become my protégé in fashion." Rosalie said with a proud smile while Ann blushed at Jasper's wanting gaze.
Emmett clapped his brother on his shoulder "Dude Jazz you got yourself one beautiful girl." He said as he took Rosalie's hand and led her away. Ian soon did the same to Alice leaving Jasper and Ann alone for a moment.
He took her hand and kissed her knuckles, "You look beautiful Annie." She smiled while her cheeks began to heat up once again.
"Thank you, Major." She said with a slight curtsy. Jasper smiled and wrapped his arm around her waist as they headed over to the car, which Edward was driving. (A/N: Oh boy.)
The moment Ann stepped out of the car in the school's parking lot she caught everyone's attention. Her nerves immediately began to consume her once again, until a wave of calmness began to overtake her. She looked up at Jasper and smiled "Thank you." He took her arm and linked in with his and led her into the school for her first day. The whole school stared at her as she walked down the halls with Jasper and the Cullen's.
"Why are they all staring at me?" She finally asked as they sat down for lunch.
"They are wondering who you are. Some girls are jealous the men are envious. They want to know everything." Edward said in quick response.
"Edward reads minds Ann." Jasper whispered to her. "Alice can see the future. And Bella…well Bella's just immune to stuff."
Everyone snickered "Gosh Jasper, make me sound like a walking antibiotic." They all shared a laugh but the laughing died down when a boy approached the table.
"Um…hi, Ann." He said looking straight at her "My name is Josh we were in P.E together. I was wondering if you would like to go to home coming with me."
Ann being the always kind person smiled at him. "Thank you for the invitation Josh but, I've already promised someone I would go with them." She said smiling as she held Jasper's hand, "But don't let this stop you from finding someone that you will take. I wish you luck." She said with the sweetest smile that only made Josh smile back.
"I think that is the politest rejection I could ever ask for." He nodded his head to her and smiled "Enjoy your day Ann."
Jasper kissed her cheek "Always the polite one aren't you?"
"My mama raised me to be that way and I know for a fact that yours did the very same thing. If I remember correctly you did start courting me till I gave you the word. Which was after your broke your arm rescuing me from Papa's ramped bull."
Jasper couldn't help but smile "I proudly wore those scars too."
"Get a room," Emmett mumbled under his breath which only earned him a swift kick to the knee courtesy of Jasper.
