Chapter 3: Being princess and not singing yet.

Jasper walked away in the middle of the class without even listening to the professor. He couldn´t stand it anymore. Not those sickly sweet and sugary feelings of love blossoming. Not especially when said love was coming in great waves from the girl he loved and the boy he wanted to hate with all his dead heart.

But he couldn´t no matter how hard he tried because Alice was starting to love him, and he loved her. And Lyrik wasn´t that bad. It would have helped it if the boy was an asshole as human boys were supposed to be. Instead of that, the boy tried hard not to show how he felt or touch Alice when Jasper was near. That was something he couldn´t look down.

And just as always, when he was just about to get in his car, Bella appeared at his side. He had heard her, but didn´t want to make her go away, and instead, he watched her sat next to him.

In the last two weeks, both of them had bonded more than ever. He didn´t have Alice anymore, and Bella, being the cute human she was, couldn´t help but wanting to help him.

"It's getting worse." He admitted not looking at her.

"It is?" Bella asked out of politeness. Of course it was. Lyrik was more in love each day it passed, and Alice was falling for him too. It was the look on their eyes and the way they looked at each other and their feelings.

"Of course. I feel it." Jasper nodded, grabbing the steering wheel. "It's disgusting."

"It hurts, right? A lot. I know." She whispered. Her sadness reached him like a typhoon. She knew how it felt to love someone and loose him. For Edward. And for the wolf. "Don´t you think…? Could it make you feel better if you go away some days or weeks?"

Jasper almost flinched. He was concentrating so much in his own troubles, he didn´t even feel her smell.

"I'm… not sure. It could be. But I don´t feel strong enough to leave her." Jasper confessed.

"Ok." Bella accepted, knowing he didn´t want to speak about it. They stayed in silence again, just looking at the front building. Jasper felt the calm and tranquil feelings the girl was trying to pass him, and was glad for that. He felt relax after some time.

"Thanks." He said, grabbing her hand and squeezing it a little.

She smiled. "It's ok. Want to go inside now?"

"Yeah." Jasper accepted. Both stood up and closed the doors of the car, walking inside the school.

Lyrik was starting to feel like a Drama Queen, as he started to panic. Where the hell was Cassie and why she didn´t have her mobile with her? He kept calling since he arrived at school, going trough his whole supply of text messages and starting down with Alice's. But Cassie didn´t pick up.

Alice had a slightly idea where she was, but didn´t feel like telling him. Not after hearing him complaining about the La Push boys for letting his baby girl in such troubles. Lyrik wasn´t really sure about hating them or thanking them, so Alice didn´t want to add fuel to the fire.

She just sat next to him and nodded every once in a while.

"Where the hell are you?!!!" Lyrik yelled to the phone, but it was the answering machine. "Cassie, you better call me soon." And he hung up.

Alice laughed. "She's probably just sleeping, Lynk." She offered.

"No way. She's out with Jacob, I just know it." He glared at his apple with hatred. Bella, who was walking behind him, stopped.

"Jacob? As in Jacob Black, from La Push?" She asked surprised.

"The same. He cut the arm of my baby girl!" Lyrik complained again. Edward smirked when Bella sat next to him as Jasper sat next to her.

"She's his cousin." He explained to the girl. Bella nodded.

"I swear, I'm going to kill her. If he doesn't kill her first. How stupid can she be? Who would go cliff jumping on that place?" Lyrik kept muttering as he bit his apple. Soon enough, his mobile started ringing. He picked up immediately. "Cassie!"

"Hey, Lee! I'm off to La Push, I was feeling better, and I need my car back. So I ask Jake to come pick me up."

"Cassie! Get your ass back here! Or to my house! Just get away of the damn place from hell!" Lyrik almost yelled, standing up and ignoring the looks he was getting. Edward smirked, trying not to laugh.

"Oh, come on, Lee. It's just La Push, not the ninth door. I swear I'm going to be back safe and before you go back to school." Cassie said, and Lyrik could picture her nodding with a mocking smile. That, and he heard someone laughing somewhere near his cousin.

"Fine. Tell Jacob he's in my Black Book."

"Will do. Love you!! Tell that girl of yours to better watch out!" And she hung up. Edward bit his lower lip not to laugh; there was nothing funnier than a human girl shorter than Alice telling her to watch out.

"Cassie… tells you to… take care. With other words." Lyrik said a little dazed. "How the hell does that girl to know things like that?!"

"I think that's because you let her go without a second thought." Alice nodded with a wink, but inside she was worrying about Cassie. What was she going to react to what she had with Lyrik if, by her tone, she didn´t like her even when she didn´t know her?

Lyrik opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out. Fine, he could deal with a crazy cousin and a knowing-all girl. Yeap, he could. Just as long as he got the girl and his cousin was in a minor level of safety.

Alice smiled, knowing how he felt. But she wasn´t going to try and see his cousin's future, because last time she tried, her headache was bigger than Russia. Cassandra Bendwood's future was a complete blur, with some flashes of Lyrik and vampires. That was probably because she was going to be involved with the werewolves, but she couldn´t tell Lyrik that either. Not until she was ready to announced her own condition.

And she wasn´t yet.

Cassie smiled her sweetest smile as she put her hands on his shoulders, leaning toward him with her eyes closed. She felt him tensed up, not really expecting that move, but he reacted quickly putting his hands on her waist.

She smirked.

Next thing everyone near them heard was a loud growl and a curse.

Cassie smirked even more and her eyes shone with victory. She put her hand easily on his back right pocket and took her car keys quickly.

"Jakey, I told you not to mess with me." She laughed, putting her hand on his shoulder as he was bent over his body. Two boys cracked up with laughter behind her, and Jacob shot them a murdering glare. After some time seeing he didn´t move, Cassie's internal good heart started to worried. "Jake?" The didn´t answer her, and she walked closer to him, worried. The boys watching them sitting in the porch of Emily and Sam's house tried hard not to laugh, already knowing what he was planning to do. "Jacob, are you alright?" Cassie asked in her thick accent. The boy moaned softly with pain. "Oh. Jake, I'm…" She started, shaking him a little to make him look at her. As soon as she did that, the boy put his hands on her waist and with one swift move, lifted her up to his shoulders with a smirk. Cassie let out a high-pitched squealed and started hitting him and kicking him to set herself free.

"Look who's winning now, Red." Jacob mocked. It was easy to hold her there, at least for him. For Cassie's height, it was like being suspended from a first floor.

"Put me down!!"

"Nope. You hit me on the crotch, girl! You deserve this." He laughed. Cassie pulled his hair, not caring the moves of her legs were causing her skirt to lift up and Jacob's hand to do the same, sliding up her inner thigh.

".down!!" She yelled again. "Come on, put me down!!! Jake!! My cousin is going to kill me!"

He shrugged. "I'll blame Paul." He smirked. When he hit him on the mouth, only causing her own hand to hurt, he decided to give in. "Fine, I'll let you down." Jacob said, moving her to the floor. But stopped suddenly before reaching the floor, with Cassie's face to his level. "But only if you kiss me."

"Asshole, put me DOWN!!" She yelled. Jacob laughed, starting to lift her up again. "Ok, ok!!! I'll kiss you." She accepted.

It wasn´t like it was something she wouldn´t like to do anyway.

Jacob smirked and held her to his face level again. Cassie sighed, leaning toward him, stopping before kissing him. But he didn´t let her think it over, and moved toward her, crashing his lips over hers.

Cassie closed her eyes, putting her arms on his neck and pushing him closer as she took over the kiss and bitted his lower lip to gain access to his mouth. She felt him snickered against her tongue, which made her laughed too. Next minute they were both rolling over with laughter on the floor, where they had fell when Jacob stumbled over his own feet.

"Guys, there's children here!!" The husky voice of Quil yelled from the front door, and he pointed to the little girl playing next to him and to the boy who barely pass as a child anymore.

"I'll keep it PG-13." Jacob said, sitting up. It felt good being near Cassie. Even when he had met her a day ago, he felt he really knew her. And she helped him get over… Bella, in some way. She was his new found sun. He liked her.

"Don´t worry, I'll keep it General Audiences." Cassie said, sticking her tongue out at Jacob and standing up. She was used to make friends easily, and she just felt she clicked with the boys from La Push. Even when she felt something wrong, or even dangerous, like a turbulent force working under the surface, ready to explode. And Jacob… he was like a magnet.

"How boring." He said, sticking his tongue out at her. Jacob stood up and walked to steps away from her, toward the house, before putting his hand up, showing her what he had on it. Cassie looked puzzled, and immediately checked her own hands and her pockets. He had her car keys again.

"Jacob!" She complained like a whiny girl, shoving him with no effect at all. He laughed again, putting his hand way up for her to reach.

They were closer to the house now, enough to heard little Claire clapping happily. Cassie's face lit up with realization, and she skipped toward the girl. "Hey, honey, want me help take down big ogre Jacob?" she asked, smirking knowingly with the happiness in Claire's little face. Cassie had a plan. She knew Quil would do anything Claire asked him to do, even if she asked him to jump off the cliff. It was a weird relation, but she didn´t mind it. "Why don´t you ask your Quil to take him down for us? To… protect our honor! That's it. We're the princess in the tower; I'm Maid Marion and you're Maid Claire. And Quil is the prince sent to rescue us! He has to get from the ogre the keys to the dungeon." Cassie explained, imagining a whole world for the toddler. Claire laughed with delight.

"Yes! Do it!" She ordered Quil, and she grabbed Cassie's hand. The girl always had a way with children. Quil smiled, kissed Claire's cheek, and went toward Jacob.

"Sorry, dude, it's for the princesses' sake." He laughed. Jacob nodded, interpreting his role as the ogre quite well, as both boys started to pretend a life or death fight to the amusement of the public.

"Oh, man. This is priceless!" Zach laughed.

"Our little Claire can get him to do anything!" Embry added, winking at Cassie. "And Red can, too."

"I'm just calling revenge." She laughed.

Some minutes later, Quil presented the victorious keys in his hand, receiving a kiss from each princess and a hug from the shortest one. Cassie was enjoying so much, she hadn´t looked at the clock once. Which proved to be a stupid thing, since when she did, she realized she was at least one hour late. Lyrik was going to kill her.

She stood up, saying good bye to everyone in a rush, and she and Jacob jumped to his car, driving to his house, where they had left her car. He wished her wheels had exploded or something like that, so she would have to come back again. But her BMW was in perfect conditions and she sat inside the car, ready to speed off.

But she was off the car before he could even say good bye, with a sandal –the one she had left all day in her car since she had being barefoot all the time- on her hand.

"Tell Claire I'm like Cinderella if she asks." She said, kissing his cheek and jumping back to her car and speeding off.

He laughed, knowing what she meant to say.

The car was ok. But now she had a great excuse to come back tomorrow. The…Manolo Blairne, or whatever it read, seemed expensive enough.

Lynk received her with a smack on her head.

A really hard smack on her head.

"Fuck, Lee!!" she yelled.

He glared at her with hatred. "Fuck, Cassie!! Didn´t you say you were going to be here before me?! I was worried"

"Sorry! I just loose sense of the time. Fuck's sake, it's no one's death!" She exclaimed angrily, storming off to the stairs. She stopped near the living room, glaring at the cute girl sitting there pretending she was not hearing. "And why do you complain, huh? You were with her enjoying your free time! Get lost, Lynk." She snapped walking up the stairs.

Lyrik glared at her retrieving form, and went to sit next to Alice.

"She hates me." The girl stated.

"Not really." Lyrik managed to smiled despites his anger with Cassie. "She's just really careful with whom I date."

"… I still think she hate me." Alice nodded, smiling nonetheless. That was the effect Lyrik had on her. He made her smile even in the weirdest moments. And she liked his hair, as weird and random that was.

"Well, then. We'll have to show her you're not trying to be with me for my incredibly large bank account."

Lyrik laughed, leaning toward her slowly. Alice closed her eyes, feeling strangely like… Bella. She knew she should have stopped him, but she didn´t. Instead, she closed the distance between them and kissed him on the lips, sweetly, softly and… lovingly.
