Chapter 29:
(Bella's POV: Cafeteria; Forks High)
I was rather happy that after lunch I had Emmett and Jasper, and then Tami. I pissed at Edward, because of the fact he liked to pick on me about how everyone thinks I'm amazing and that I look like Isabella Swan. I could kick his ass if I had anything to do about it.
I grumbled under my breath as I walked over and took a seat at the table where I spotted Emmett and Tami. The others were not here yet.
Slipping in by Tami I laid my head on the table which sounded like I hit the table. I groaned as I cut my eyes to Emmett. He was chuckling because of the fact there were kids looking at me. I snarled under my breath as I closed my eyes.
"You okay there, Boss?" Tami asked quietly.
I cut my eyes to Tami. "I'm not Boss here." I narrowed my eyes.
"Sorry, habit." Her eyes snapped to the door. I was surprised when Alice walked in talking to a human boy causing Tami to growl low in her throat. "He's hitting on my mate." The last sentence was to low for humans to hear. "I should rip him apart."
"Calm down, girl." Emmett snickered. "You're about to bust the table." He nodded his head towards where Tami had a hold of the table. She looked surprised for a second and then slowly let go of the table, looking down in embarrassment. I could tell that if Tami was human she would have blushed.
She leaned back in her chair as Alice and Jasper made their way over to the table. I didn't spot Edward which was a good thing. I was still pissed at him, because of the fact he had to tell me what every guys was thinking during class. While he didn't say anything too disgusting, there were some things he could have kept to himself.
When I felt Jasper's arms around me and a calming wave settled over our table. Alice skipped over and sat next to Tami. I was shocked when Tami scooted her chair over to Alice's and placed her arm around the back of her chair. Even Alice had wide eyes at this. I could see that Tami was getting use to the fact she was with a female, but I knew things would still be rather difficult, but as long as the family didn't say anything, I knew that things would be fine. It made me realize that this whole school thing was a good thing for Tami because her instincts were stronger here when there were so many potential threats to her and Alice's relationship. They were becoming harder for her to ignore, therefore helping her to give in to the mating bond.
"I think he got the message." I leaned in in a human-like manner and told Tami quietly, as I cut my eyes to the boy who had been flirting with Alice.
Alice cut her eyes to Tami's. "Are you sure you want them to know?" I could see that Alice was worried about what Tami would say. A lot of humans weren't kind about same sex relationships, whereas in the vampire world, it was a common thing.
"Yes," Tami looked down at Alice. "I may have some..." She closed her eyes for a moment then opened them. "hangups about our relationship, but I know that you are my mate and I will do anything to make you happy. I'm trying." She looked at the others that arrived.
"I think you guys make a great couple." Rosalie put her two cents worth in. "But then again, a lot of guys at the school will be rather dashed, because two hot girls only have eyes for each other."
Edward smirked as he looked at Tami. "From the dialogue in the kids head, he is pissed that you have Alice." I saw the humor glint in his eyes. "But then again most of the guys around here would love to take you both out on a date."
Rosalie gagged while Emmett busted up laughing. I couldn't help giggling while Jasper narrowed his eyes at Edward. I could tell that Jasper was pissed about Edward picking on me during our Bio class.
I just shook my head as I noticed that Jessica was looking at our table. I noticed that Alice froze and Tami became worried when I noticed that Alice was having a vision. I heard Edward growl low enough that way no humans could hear him. I cut my eyes to Emmett and Rosalie and found they were looking at Alice then to Edward.
I shrugged knowing that we would be told if there was anything that needed to be shared. I was shocked that Peter and Charlotte weren't coming to school but I knew that they were needed at home to keep and eye on Bree. Not that she would take off without her mate.
"What is it, Ali?" Jasper asked using her nick name. I heard Tami growl and I couldn't help but chuckle. I raised an eyebrow and tilted my head to the side. Tami ducked her head as she hid behind Alice.
Alice finally came out of the vision and I couldn't help, but frown at her eyes traveling to me then to Tami and Jasper. "What's wrong?" I asked keeping my tone calm. "I know you seen something."
Alice nodded as she turned to Tami. "It was about next weekend's baseball game." She then turned to the rest of us. "There isn't anything concrete, but I think we might get some company during the end of the game."
"Who?" Jasper growled his arm tightening around my waist.
Alice shook her head as she leaned into Tami's arms. "I didn't see their faces, but I think that it's Maria and the three vampires that are going to be coming to get you, Peter, Charlotte, Tami and Bella. She even may be after Bree just for escaping from Enrique, who looks to be in cahoot's with her." She told us quiet enough where humans couldn't hear. "It seems that something is going to change from now to then."
"What could it be?" Rosalie asked as she to Tami with a smile. "We wont let Maria get her hand on any of you. You all are our family and I will kill anyone who tries to fuck with us." I could see that Rosalie meant every word. "Even if it means the Bitch of the South. She hasn't met the Bitch of the North, yet." She snorted leaning back in her chair as she looked at her nails. I truly wondered if Rosalie could fight like she just claimed. From what I've seen so far, Carlisle is more anti-violence and won't fight unless he has to, so I would assume that he taught his fledglings the same way of life.
Rosalie changed a little towards Tami and I because she understood Tami a little better than she first thought. While Tami was forced to endure things, no one should because of her being 'possessed', Rosalie was forced by her fiance. I knew that they could understand each other. She could help Tami where I could only lend my support. But I also knew that was needed, because I knew Tami longer than anyone else here.
Jasper kissed me on my neck and leaned up to my ear. "I'll be goin' with you." He purred as his arms slid tighter around my waist. How I ended up in his lap I will never know, but I was preoccupied I suppose. "Alice said it would be alright if I skipped next period. I don't want you ta face her alone." I could hear the nervousness in his voice.
I squeezed his knee. "You forget, that I am Enyo." I smirked turning my head to the side. "Or should I say 'Boss' to you, Major."
Jasper's eyes darkened slightly as he growled deep. "You better be glad we're in front of other's darlin' 'cause if we weren't I would have ya on yer knees begging fer more." He then licked my neck.
When a voice cleared I looked over at Edward to see him smirk. "You guys are drawing attention." He whispered quietly, his eyes darting around the cafeteria. "Even though the kids are enjoying the show." He smirked as he closed his eyes and bowed his head. His arms were crossed and I knew he was in a submission pose because of Jasper growling lowly under me. He was vibrating not only him, but me, as well, and it was getting rather out of hand.
"Chill, Jasper." I told him cutting my eyes to him. "We don't need you fighting Edward here." I narrowed my eyes at him.
Jasper just growled and nodded burying his nose in my hair. Just then the bell rang for lunch to be over. I jumped up and took Jasper's hand. Him and Emmett were with me in next period and then Jasper and I will take off back to the house.
Everyone said good bye to their significant other and I couldn't help but feel bad for Edward. Frowning, I wondered if he would find his mate soon. He had to have a lot of trouble because of the fact he was in a house full of mated pairs.
I noticed that Jessica was watching us as we split ways and Emmett, Jasper and I headed to our next class while Rosalie and Tami headed to their class and Edward and Alice headed to theirs. I was just happy that my mate had a class with me.
"That Jessica girl is following us." I said quietly as not to let her know. "What do you think she'll do?" I asked Jasper.
He just shrugged. "Her emotions are curious but that's about all." He squeezed my hand. "Don't let it bother ya." He kissed my cheek and Emmett couldn't help but laugh.
"And what is so funny?" I playfully hit his arm, glaring at him.
"The two of you." Emmett chuckled opening the door. "You guys haven't even mated yet and are still all over each other even at school." He smirked as Jasper and I walked in to our history class together with Emmett behind me. I stopped and handed my pink slip to the teacher.
"You can take the seat between Emmett and Jasper." The balding teacher told me. "Why don't you tell us a little about yourself?" He spoke loud enough to get the classes attention.
I watched as Jasper and Emmett took their seats. I just sighed and stood there and placed a smile on my face. I had to take a breathe and was very glad that the human blood didn't smell good to me but I still had to hold myself from wrinkling it because of how it smelled to me.
"My name is Bella Masen." I took another breathe to look as though I was calming myself. "Dr. Cullen and Mrs. Cullen adopted us because our parents were killed in a plane crash and they were friends of our mother and father. I am here with my two other sisters, Tamilyn and Bree. Bree is home schooled and Tami is a year under me. I'm the oldest." I nodded signaling that I was done then hurried as quick as I could without drawing suspension and took my seat.
"Thank you, Ms. Masen." The teacher smiled then he started the lesson for the day.
I just let myself drift off, because another part of my brain was picking up what the teacher was talking about. I could also hear a low growl when the teacher said something and I believe it was because Jasper was turned during around the time we were talking about. I also heard a snicker when the teacher was talking about one of the generals.
I pushed that to the back of my mind til later because I wondered why Jasper thought it was so funny. I could tell where Emmett's mind was because he was staring out the window. I couldn't help but chuckle when I noticed that Emmett had some drool running down his chin. Smiling,
I looked around the room and noticed that Jessica was cutting her eyes at me and Jasper every few minutes. I wished I could rip off her head for looking at my mate like he was a piece of meat.
"Calm down, Darlin'." Jasper whispered quietly enough that no one could hear. "I'm yours and only yours."
"She doesn't have the right to look at you." I hissed my eyes darkening. Suddenly I felt a calming wave wash over me and knew that it was Jasper's doing.
"You alright, now." He cut his eyes to me.
"Yeah." I told him and waited til the bell rang. I was rather excited to get out of school because I hated it when I went the first time.
Jessica turned her eye back to the front of the class and I couldn't help but be grateful. It Jasper hadn't of calmed me down I would have ripped Jessica's arms off for looking at my mate like that. Turning my thoughts to different places, I thought about heading home and trying to see if Bree did any better than when she smelled human blood on Carlisle when he came home from work. I thought she would have ripped Emmett's arms off to get to Carlisle's shirt.
When the bell did ring, I couldn't help but jump, because it startled me and it was very loud to my enhanced hearing. Emmett thought it was funny but Jasper just smiled and took my hand.
"Let's head home." He whispered kissing my cheek as we walked to the door.
I nodded smiling back at him. "That sounds great." I told him.
We didn't stop by our lockers, because we didn't need to.
I spotted Edward and Rosalie heading to their next class and just smiled as I waved and headed to Jasper's car. He drove us here today, thus he would be driving us home.
Slipping into the car, I buckled up because it was habit. After shutting my door, Jasper went around the other side and got in. He turned the key and pulled out of the school parking lot. I would have rather ran, but I knew that I needed to keep the smell of humans on me until I got home, thus the reason the windows were up. I knew with Jasper's driving it wouldn't take long to get home.
