Comfortably Numb

|No One's POV|
Angel continued on throughout her day as she normally would but things changed once third period rolled around. AP Biology. Angel entered 's room handing him her schedule.
"Hmm. How brilliant, now we have an even number! Class! Attention please!" The whole class turned towards Angel and it took all of her power to not blush madly.
"I would like to introduce a new student. If you would please," he turned to Angel who cleared her throat.
"Hello, my name is Angel McDouglass. I just moved her from Houston Texas," she stated simply.
looked slightly disappointed that she didn't go further but continued on anyway.
"You'll be paired with Jasper. Jasper raise your hand so Miss McDouglass can see you.
Jasper, who hadn't torn his eyes off of her since she entered, raised his hand slowly. He looked like what Angel would assumed Ares, the Greek god of war looked like. Perfectly chiseled features, a head of collar length honey blonde hair, and the most intense but beautiful eyes she had ever seen. Angel still enthralled by the way his amber colored eyes sparkled, approached him and sat down next to him. She couldn't help but think that he was indeed beautifully sculpted.
"Hi," was the only thing she manage to squeak out.
"Hello," he responded.
She couldn't concentrate no matter how hard she tried. Everything about him drew her in, down to the Cologne he wore. His cologne reminded her of that spicy cinnamon smell that was always in the air at her grandma's during Christmas time and she loved it.
"Curse teenage hormones..." she muttered to herself.
Jasper turned his head and did his best not to smile when she said that. He knew she was attracted to him. All humans are attracted to vampires despite their instincts to run, he just happen to be more attractive than others likely because of his ability. It amused him that she fought it though. Most girls would throw themselves at him given the choice but she kept equal distance... and he liked it. Jasper glanced at her again by this time she was twirling her hair while biting her plump pink lips.
Those lips... Jasper turned away holding his breath.
No. She's human. You'll kill her... but god did he want her. He wanted her bad.
The then rang and she closed her book. Jasper watched her as she packed up her stuff. Her notebook slipped off the table and Jasper caught it swiftly.
"Oh! Thank you," She smiled softly taking the notebook from him.
Jasper felt an intense jolt run up his arms to his chest and his eyes widened. A soft blush spread across the new girl's cheeks as she turned and left him staring there dumbfounded.
"She's my mate..." was the only thing that left his lips.
|Jasper's POV|
I couldn't believe that I finally found her. I now understood why Alice was so excited earlier today. She must have saw her. Sitting next to her was torture but not the bad kind. I fought everything in me not to try to run my hands through her luscious looking brunette locks but it wasn't just her hair that drove me crazy. It was everything about her from her petite yet feminine physique to her intense chocolate brown eyes.
I must have not been paying attention because I felt a strong smack on my shoulder and scowled at my assailant, Rosalie.
"What's up with you Jasper? You've been spacey all of class and now that the bell had rang you've just been staring blankly out the window," Rosalie stated in her normal irritable mood.
"Jasper met his mate obviously. Just like I had predicted he would," Alice stated as she came dancing into the room with Edward and Emmett right behind her.
"Mate? Really bro? Congrats," Emmett smacked me on the back with a large grin on his face.
"Wait but she's human," Rosalie and Edward deadpanned.
"Yes but she nullifies my ability," I informed them and almost all my coven mates froze.
"You mean she made you not feel everyone?" Emmett was astounded.
"Yes. The moment I caught her scent, everyone's emotions faded like a mute button on a tv," I stated still thinking about my new bio partner.
"I'll have to see it to believe it," Rosalie scoffed.
"Sounds too good to be true honestly," Edward scowled.
"Let's just go to lunch. I don't want to be in a classroom anymore," Alice huffed and Rosalie looked at her nodding in agreement.
As soon as we entered students stared either in aw or jealousy but then I breathed in that sweet smell of honeysuckle and jasmine and the world fades again. I wasn't plagued by thirst or people's emotions. All of my siblings paused too.
"What's that smell? It makes me feel really calm and my thirst is shrinking," Emmett asked.
My head immediately turns towards Angel. She was busy talking with another brunette, obviously younger than her.
"That's her doing?" Rosalie asked with disbelief.
"Yeah. I told you. She nullifies my gift and it looks like she affects you guys too," I sat down looking at her again.
This time she was looking at us with her brunette friend who quickly glanced away. Angel though, waved at me slightly with a sweet smile. Alice didn't hesitate with a wave back which Rosalie kicked her under the table when people other than my future mate started to look.
"Who are they?" We automatically picked up the girl next to her.
"Those are the Cullen's. They moved here with their foster parents and his wife from Alaska about two years ago," one of the school's gossips, Jessica Stanley, answered.
"Yeah. The attractive blondes are the Hale twins, Jasper and Rosalie. The two dark haired ones are Emmett, Rosalie's boyfriend, and Alice, the weird girl," Jessica whispered.
"Why are they sitting all the way in the corner away from everybody?" The nosier brunette pressed.
"They normally keep to themselves but Rosalie, oh she's a real bitch. And Edward and Jasper think their too high and mighty for any of the girls here, myself included. Like they could ever do any better than me," Lauren Mallory, a snobbish self entitled bitch, spoke flipping her fake blonde locks.
Rosalie grit her teeth but didn't say anything and Emmett gripped the table leaving a few cracks in the composite wood.
"What gives you a right to judge them?" Surprise was written all over Lauren's face when my future mate spoke up obviously beyond annoyed with her.
"Excuse me?" She stuttered.
"You heard me. What makes you so high and mighty that you can judge the Cullen's? Especially if you say they keep to themselves? It's not like you know of or care to know them." Her voice leaked with venom and the whole cafeteria went silent to hear what was about to go down.
"I don't know why you're getting so pissy. You don't even know them. They're like a bunch of freaks really if you think about it," Lauren retorted.
"Ah I see what it is. You're bitter about the fact that Jasper and Edward both rejected you so as a result you are lashing out," Angel mused seeing right to the source.
I swear you could hear a pin drop now. Emmet, Edward and I were trying to hide our amusement along side Alice and Rosalie.
"Bitter? You, you!-" She cut her off.
"If you're going to say bitch, save your breath. The world doesn't need another broken record," She yawned actually bored.
Emmett was now full on snickering next to Rosalie who was holding back loud laughter.
"Who even are you? Do you know who I am? I could ruin you with the snap of my fingers," she hissed.
"You speak as if I give a shit about what you have to say. News flash honey, I hate to break it to you but it's looking like high school is your peak," Angel kept that bored look.
"Peak? What does that even mean?" Lauren scoffed.
"Meaning this is the best it's gonna get. Let me put it this way. Your life is going to go one of two ways: First option is you go out into the world with this horrid attitude of yours, realize you can't make it by normal means and become a stripper or the second option, you end up dead because you piss off the wrong person," Lauren's jaw dropped and everyone looked to her with an 'oh damn' look.
Lauren who wasn't able to come back with a better cut down screamed and stomped out of the cafeteria with her "friends" at her tail.
"Angel... oh my god," Jessica gasped.
"What?" Angel looked totally unfazed right now.
"Teach me your roasting ways. I am at your disposal oh wise one," Mike Newton and Eric Yorkie were at her feet praising her like some goddess.
"All I did was point out the obvious and besides that, the school I went to you had to know how to verbally throw down or you'd end up getting beaten up," Angel stood up.
"Where are you going?" Her brunette friend asked.
"I need a little air. I'll see you after school ok Bells?" She smiled walking past us and out the cafeteria doors.
"I'm going to follow her," I stated standing up.
"Not without me. I want to thank her," Rosalie stated.
"Really? Babe you don't like humans normally," Emmett gave a quizzical look following us both.
"Well she's different. Also she cut down Lauren worse than anything I could have done," Rosalie smiled and we finally found Angel sitting in the grass facing the tree line near the school.
"Thanks for sticking up for us when you didn't have to," Angel turned over facing us.
"No problem. It looks like someone had to anyway," Angel responded.
"I'm Rosalie Hale by the way. Do you mind if we sit with you?" Rosalie asked taking a seat next to her.
"Not at all," Angel continued to stare at the tree line.
"Why are you staring at the tree line?" Emmett asked.
"It's peaceful watching the trees sway with the breeze and also I'm still a little mad about that girl in the cafeteria," she muttered the last part.
"You shouldn't let people get under your skin, especially if they're not worth your time to begin with," I spoke to her for the first time today.
Angel looked at me with a soft smile, the kind that left a warmth that I almost had forgotten.
"Why don't we talk for a bit? God knows no one in this school likely has had the wherewithal to even bother to get to know you."
I could tell by the smile on Rosalie's face that she in fact did like Angel, which honestly surprised me. Rosalie didn't like anyone, at least if they're human that is.
:::
"I really like her," I cocked a brow closing my Spanish textbook.
"Don't act so surprised. I do like people, it's just really hard for me especially if they're human," Rosalie huffed and I shook my head smiling.
"I'm glad you approve of my future mate," I spoke.
"Hear me out here before you assume anything. I just think she's good for you, for all of us really and you saw how her and Emmett got along. As much as I complain about Emmett's lack of maturity, I love the way Angel goats him. It's like watching a big brother and a little sister," Rosalie smiled drawing random circles on her note book.
"I have to agree with you there. Emmett already seems fond of her and he's only just met her," I went to open my book again and both mine and Rosalie's phones went off.
Edward: meet me at the house.
Now.
Rosalie and I stood up right as the bell rang and grabbed our things.
This can't be good.
