A Pov
I sighed with relief when the dismissal bell rang for 1st period. I quickly got up, forgetting about my ankle, and I ended up falling back into my seat, with a plopping sound.
"Ow…." I groaned, when my ankle bumped into the leg of the chair.
"You OK, Ali?" Jasper asked, when he reached me.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I lied. The pain was evident in my voice.
"You sure darlin'?" He asked, a Texan accent making itself known.
Awww, his accent is adorable! Why can't mine be like that? People always make fun of mine… Well, they did in Biloxi… I mean it doesn't sound that bad to me… I thought.
"Ummm, yeah, I-I'm sure." I stuttered, seeing the concern deep in his eyes. I don't know why, but for some reason, that scared me.
"What class do you have next?" He asked, as he gently lifted me onto my feet, and steadied me, once again, by putting his arm around me. I unconsciously leaned into his side, as he looked down at me.
"Ummm, I have…. P.E., next….." I said, looking up into his eyes.
He chuckled, and his eyes sparkled.
"What? I asked, confused.
What's so funny? Why is he laughing at me? I mentally asked myself.
"Nothing, nothing." He said, smiling down at me.
I looked away, as he started laughing again.
We wouldn't want a repeat of what happened in the parking lot….. I thought, as I felt the heat rush to my cheeks.
Then we all left and went to our 2nd period class. This class I only had with Edward, so this time it was him who was helping me to walk around.
"You know, you should really get that looked at." Edward told me, as he sat me down on the first row of bleachers, and knelt down in front of me.
I shook my head, at him.
"Oh, no, it's fine…. It really doesn't hurt all that bad." I lied, looking at the ground, hoping he'd believe me.
"If it doesn't hurt that bad, then why can't you walk by yourself, and why are you limping?" He asked, looking up at me.
I kept my gaze fixed on the floor, unable to come up with a reasonable excuse at the moment. We sat in silence, before he spoke again.
"That's what I thought." He said, nodding.
"Well, I mean, you don't have to help me, if you don't want to. I mean, I could just deal with the pain, I'd be OK." I said, softly.
He got up, from his place in front of me, and sat next to me on the bleachers, and looked down at me, with an 'I'm not buying it' look.
"Oh, no... It's not that, it's just that you're denying the oh-so-obvious truth." He said, making me feel, like a disappointment, to those all around us. Especially to my father… I'm always a disappointment to him.
I don't know why, it made me feel that way, but it did.
"I-I mean…. I just…. I…. I'm sorry." I said, with a soft sigh.
"You have nothing to be sorry for…. So, what happened?" He asked, gesturing to my ankle.
"Ummm, I fell…." I replied, looking down, at the tiles on the gym floor.
"How?" He asked.
"Ummmm, I-I just… fell… I mean, I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going, at the time…." I trailed off, hoping he'd believe my excuse.
"Oh." He said, looking down also.
I guess that means he believes me. I really hope it does. Wouldn't want him to start jumping to conclusions…. That wouldn't end well, because I crack under pressure…. I thought.
We sat in a comfortable silence until he finally spoke again, five minutes later.
"Well, you know my father is a doctor, and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't mind checking that out for you, and you know that Emmett would probably make you come, whether you want to or not…" He trailed off, looking down at me hopefully.
I sighed.
I thought through all of the possible outcomes, of any decision, I could make in this situation.
I guess I don't have any choice, but to go…. But, that could end with me having a possible death sentence…. Oh, well…. I guess I'll just have to take the chance… It couldn't be that bad, would it? I thought.
"Well, I guess….. I could go…" I trailed off.
"Ok. Besides, Emmett's told Esme and Carlisle, all about you, and they've been dying to meet you…" He said, looking out on the mob of students in the gym.
I just shook my head, and tried to pretend that I wasn't worrying about anything, when on the inside, I was silently having a major freak out session.
Soon enough Mr. Barrington, our P.E. coach noticed that we weren't doing anything, and he started making his way over towards us.
When he finally reached us, he stood in front of, with a stern expression on his face.
When he looked at me, I cast my eyes down towards the ground.
"Mr. Cullen? Ms. Brandon? What on god's green earth are you doing sitting here, instead of doing your warm-up?" He asked, his eyes darting from me to Edward, and back again.
"Well, Alice here, has hurt her ankle, Sir, so she won't be able to do anything today, I'm afraid. And as for me, well, I've been assigned by Jasper to watch after her, while she is in my care." He said, a light teasing tone, in his voice.
I looked up, expecting Mr. Barrington, to yell at him, for his lame excuse, but to my surprise, he actually chuckled.
"Well, I guess I can let it slide this one time Edward. And I hope that your ankle feels better soon, Alice. Be careful next time, doing whatever it is that you were doing, OK?" He said, looking down at me.
When I nodded, he walked away, and went back to the other students aid. I vaguely heard him talking about running laps, before I was drifted away into my thoughts.
At least he didn't ask about how I had hurt my ankle, but it's not like I really expected him to…. I thought.
It had only seemed like a few minutes before I heard the bell ring, and it was time for lunch.
Edward helped me down the hallway, and into the cafeteria, where he carefully passed me over to Jasper, before he gave a beaming Bella a hug.
Jasper then helped me make my way over to our lunch table, before sitting down next to me, while we all waited for Emmett and Rosalie to show up.
When they arrived, everyone waited until the lunch line thinned out, before going over to get their food. I was alone at the table for a few minutes but I didn't really mind.
Soon enough, everyone was back at the table, with their food, and big grins on their faces.
"Goodness! I'm so hungry! I've been waiting ever since breakfast to eat lunch…." Emmett said, looking down at his burger, like a man who hasn't eaten for days.
He turned a gave me a huge smile before he took an enormous bite out of his burger. So, basically half of the burger was now gone, and it was a pretty big burger to begin with.
"When are you not hungry, Emmett?" Jasper replied, while dipping his chicken nuggets in ketchup.
Awww, he is so cute! Dipping his little chicken nuggets in ketchup…. Awww! I could just…. Attack him for how adorable he's unintentionally being right now… I thought, smiling to myself.
"Why are you smiling like that? What's so funny? I wanna smile all privately too!" Emmett said, looking over at me.
I just shook my head in reply, as my cheeks filled with heat.
"Why are you blushing? Are you thinking about Jasper, or something?" Emmett asked, while grinning at me.
I could feel the heat rushing to my cheeks once more, except this time they felt like they were on fire.
Everyone turned towards me, with huge smiles plastered on their faces, as they tried to hold in their snickers.
I looked over towards Jasper, and saw that he too, was blushing, only not as violently as me. And he was awaiting my answer just like everyone else.
"Quoi? Non! Pourquoi voulez-vous dire cela? Je n'était pas penser à Jasper! Je veux dire... Juste- taire, Emmett! Gosh... Juste- juste... Laissez-moi seul! Je n'avez pas de vous répondre, alors... Il y!" I said, knowing that they probably didn't understand me.
(A/N: She said: "What? No! Why would you say that? I wasn't thinking about Jasper! I mean... Just- Just shut up, Emmett! Gosh... Just- Just... Leave me alone! I don't have to answer you, so... There!")
They all looked confused at my random use of the French language.
Oh, great…. Now it's gonna take a while to be able to talk without the accent…. Great….Just… Great! I thought.
After a few minutes of sitting there looking at me, they all burst out laughing as I blushed, once again.
"You do know that we have absolutely no idea of what you just said right?" Rosalie asked, while trying to hold back her snickers a little bit longer, so she could talk to me.
"Yes, I know…" I trailed off, hearing my accent come through.
"Were you speaking French?" Bella asked, doing her best to keep herself calm.
"Yes." I said, sighing.
At that one word, everyone burst out laughing again. I just rolled my eyes, and waited for lunch to finally be over.
Soon enough lunch was finally over, and the remainder of the school day, passed by in a blur, and we were all walking down the parking lot towards Emmett' s Jeep, and Edward's Volvo. Jasper was helping me, once again. But I wasn't complaining.
Well, here goes nothing…. I thought, as Jasper opened my door for me, and I got into the backseat of Emmett's Jeep, with Jasper right beside me.
