A/N: And here we go with the next part of Bella's morning classes.
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or any of the characters I'm just taking them for a spin.
Social Studies was by far Jaspers favorite class for one reason; Emmett. Of course any class he shared with his mate would be his favorite but that's beside the point. This is what Jasper thought as he watched Emmett shove two pencils up his nose and cross his eyes. Jasper couldn't help but laugh at the antics of the muscular man across from him.
The laughter ceased abruptly as the unmistakable scent of Alpha permeated the air followed shortly by the appearance of their new wolf classmate in the doorway. Emmett and Jasper stopped breathing at the disruptive aroma.
Emmett waved the wolf over to the empty seat at their table, ever the friendly type.
"Hi, I'm Emmett Cullen, this is my mate Jasper." Emmett gestured between the two of them as the bell rang.
"Isabella Swan" Came the timid reply. "No offense, how many Cullens are there? I just had a very energetic pixieperson in my art class?" Bella flinched slightly as though she were afraid of her own voice and Jasper felt her anxiety rise.
"Oh that's Alice, other than us there's just Rosalie and Edward," Emmett responded offhand while pulling out a piece of paper and 2 pens before handing one to Jasper with a wink. "I'm sure you'll meet them soon enough."
"Umm is anyone going to wake him?" Bella questioned pointing at the slumbering teacher, Mr. Bison, seated at his desk.
"Nah this is essentially a free period. Everyone does the super easy assignments and we don't tell the principal Mr. Bison sleeps through every period. Mr. Bison sees fit to grace us all with an A in return. That's what's called a mutually beneficial relationship." Emmett replied as he began drawing.
As Emmett turned his attention to doodling Jasper took some time to watch Bella. Given the thick cloud of Alpha pheromones still in the air, he was unsurprised to see that many of his classmates were also studying his tablemate closely.
Jasper felt a tapping on his shoulder. He brought his gaze away from Bella to meet his lovers ever smiling golden eyes. "Darlin'?" and Emmett's response was a folded piece of paper which Jasper accepted happily.
Unfolding the gift Jasper nearly laughed out loud at the crudely drawn image of himself fucking Emmett on Mr. Bison's desk.
"I'm game if you are," Jasper swiftly wrote before folding and passing the note back to Emmet and turning to resume watching the new wolf.
He was just in time to see one of the female students pretend to trip on the way to the trashcan landing conveniently in Bellas lap. Something like a cross between a shriek and a whimper was forced out of Bella before she stuttered out an apology to the girl in her lap who only giggled as she stood and walked back to her seat.
Jasper was pondering the obvious shame rolling off the brunette when he received another note from Emmett.
"I don't think the humans could handle a full view of all this." Jasper snorted before writing his reply.
"If the sight of your sweet ass didn't kill them you know I would." This time Jasper grabbed Emmett's hand gently kissing the palm before replacing his lips with the note. He nearly purred in satisfaction at the warm look in Emmett's eyes.
As Jasper turned to Isabella once more he found she was looking at them with interest, and something dark he couldn't quite name. He reached out with his ability to better understand and instantly recoiled, flinching at the torrent of longing, jealousy, and bitterness that greeted him.
A hand on Jaspers shoulder made him turn to be greeted by a note sitting before him. Jasper eagerly unfolded his lovers' missive.
"You know I love it when you talk dangerous." The writing circled around an image of Emmet on his knees.
Jasper felt a slight stirring in his jeans as he wrote his reply. "Don't saddle the horse if you don't intend to ride." Jaspers eyes lazily found Isabella again as he awaited Emmett's reply.
He was rewarded with a view of two of the male students locked in an arm wrestling match in an attempt to impress the Alpha wolf seated at his table. Jasper rolled his eyes "You might want to reign in those pheromones cowgirl, no need to cause a riot in social studies." He advised her with a whispered laugh low enough for only wolf and vampire ears to hear.
He immediately saw her confusion but was unable to question her as the bell rang signaling the end of the period and waking their teacher from his daily nap. "Please take a handout from my desk and read through it and pages 40-46 in the textbook before next class." Mr. Bison stated loudly before swiftly exiting the room ahead of even the students.
Filing Bellas strange behavior and emotions away Jasper made to gather his and Emmett's belongings.
He was interrupted by a note hitting the top of his head and falling onto the table in front of him. He looked up in time to catch Emmett giggling. Shooting him a mock angry look Jasper opened the note.
"We've got a free next period. Why don't you ride me in the janitor's closet cowboy?" Jasper barely finished reading the words before he was essentially dragging a grinning Emmett out of the room. All thoughts of the peculiar wolf shelved in favor of more pressing matters in his pants.
Bella watched as a giggling Emmett was all but dragged away by a very urgent Jasper. "Must be really eager to get to the next period." she thought as she gathered her backpack. "They make a really nice couple," Bella's thoughts continued as she slowly made her way towards study hall in the library.
She thought back to the tender touches and looks that had passed between Emmett and Jasper during class and clutched gently at her chest as a dull ache matched her heart beat. She'd never been in the presence of such a loving couple and felt her loneliness redouble at the unmistakable image of what she would likely never have.
Bella heaved a deep sigh as she opened the library door and cursed her loner existence not for the first time.
She offered the librarian a small smile as she signed her name on the attendance sheet before finding a seat in the back corner. She pulled out her social studies text intent on finishing the work to have a free weekend.
Halfway through the period Bella was mostly finished with her Social Studies work and had turned her mind instead to her first week in her new home. Despite the mixed welcome she'd received from the Pack, if open hostility could really be called a welcome, Bella felt like she'd soon consider Forks home.
"Assuming Alice isn't laying some elaborate trap to eat me this could be great. I've always wanted a best friend!" Bella laughed out loud, earning a shush, at her unintentional joke. "As if anyone would end over 400 years of peaceful wolf vampire relations over my blood!"
"As if anyone would WANT to be your best friend. Filthy mongrel."
Bella swallowed the sting of her mind's self-directed toxicity.
"There are more pressing matters to attend." The rumbling growl of Bellas Alpha rippled in her mind and she felt a dopey smile cross her face as she thought of the blonde angel she'd seen that morning. "Anywhere with her around would be home to me." Bella sighed as she propped her head on her hand daydreaming about the girl she'd yet to meet. "We should sneak out of here and find her!"
"As if she'd be anything but disgusted at the mere sight!"
"I'll be her Alpha. I can protect her and she can love you Bella. You were made to love her, Bella." The once rumbling growl became a comforting caress.
"What good is an Alpha who couldn't even protect its sire?!" The question flashed through Bella's mind deflating any confidence her inner Alpha had squeezed out. "What Omega could ever love a loner runt of an Alpha?"
As Bella felt tears prick at the corners of her eyes she lay her head down on her arms in the classic napping pose. She wasn't sure who else had wandered so far back into the library but she'd rather be known as the girl sleeping in the library instead of the girl crying in the library alone.
