I am really sorry about the errors in my last chapter. I pray for the next Microsoft word version when it has logic check along with spell check. :]

Chapter 4
BPOV
I smiled the whole way to my English class, not just because English was my favorite subject, but because of the idea of spending lunch with Jasper tomorrow. I was attracted to Jasper. Not because he was gorgeous, but because he seemed like a genuine person. I hoped that our friendship could develop into something more.
I found my classroom easily and approached the teacher's desk. Mr. Smith welcomed me and then directed me to my seat. I looked where he was pointing and my face dropped any trace of my "Jasper" smile. I was seated beside Edward. I approached the table in fear and hoped that this would not end horribly.
Edward's anger was practically radiating off him. I turned towards him and began an apology when I was cut off by the teacher. I quickly introduced myself to the class, even though there was no doubt that everyone already knew who I was, and was prevented from finishing my apology again when the Mr. Smith began his lecture.
I could feel Edward's eyes on me the whole class. Edward's looks were not like the looks Jasper was giving me prior to this class, let's just say if looks could kill, I'd be dead. Edward was making me uncomfortable and in result, I couldn't concentrate on the teacher so I planned my apology instead. I decided I would explain that I did what I thought was best, I tried to make a "clean break", and that I hoped that we could be the friends we once were.
As Mr. Smith finished his lecture I turned towards Edward to try to apologize once again. His expression had lost some of its hardness and I couldn't help but be dazzled by his beauty. I was shocked and I stammered out the first few words of my apology but was interrupted by the bell. Edward made his way to the door quickly and I was left to myself.
I left the class confused. I thought about why I had loved Edward when I was younger. He was such a nice and concerned person. He worried about me, which could be annoying, but made me feel safe at the same time.
I thought about how much Edward has changed appearance wise. He looked like he belonged in a cologne advertisement. Not in the small town of Forks. I found myself physically attracted to him, but I need not worry, because I will never be attracted to the anger that is in him.
I walked to the student parking lot and all thoughts of my attraction to Edward disappeared when I saw Jasper leaning against my truck. I couldn't help but smile and I quickened my pace.

After what felt like forever, I finally saw Bella walking towards the parking lot. She looked confused and I couldn't help but wonder why. When she looked up and saw me leaning against her truck, she smiled and her walk sped up a little.
Bella greeted me with by saying "Howdy partner" in her best southern accent. I couldn't help but laugh at her effort and Bella grinned.
"Would you like to do something with me after school?" I asked hopefully.
"What did you have in mind?"
"I don't know, I was thinking maybe we could just hang out."
"That sounds great" Bella said with a smile. "Would you like to drive with me?"
I agreed willingly and my heart gave a little jump at the thought of spending the rest of the afternoon with Bella.
We spent the drive to Bella's house talking about things like school and her life in Phoenix. It wasn't until we were pulling into Bella's driveway when she gave me a questioning look.
"Where's your car?" Bella asked with a hint of worry and suspicion in her tone.
I quickly explained that Edward usually drove me to school because my car was somewhat of a joke, though it was pretty great when it actually ran. Bella laughed at this and led me inside her house.
Bella's house wasn't the biggest house, but it was homey and comfortable. It wasn't like any of my other friend's houses. You'd think that 10 people lived in them, when in reality, they were all the only children in their family.
Bella and I spent the afternoon doing homework and talking. It seemed like it had only been an hour when Bella's father, Chief Swan, poked his head in to tell us that I should probably be getting home. There was no missing the gruffness in his voice, so I quickly said goodbye and made my way to the front door.
As I was leaving, Bella asked how exactly I was getting home. She had a knowing smile on her face and yelled to her father that she was just running me home and that she'd be back soon. I felt bad for having to make Bella drive me, but was pleased that we got to spend more time together.

I had a great time with Jasper. He was polite, but bold and at the same time he was quite, but funny. Every minute I spent with him I felt more and more attracted to him. When it was finally time for him to go home, I smiled when I remembered that I would have to drive him home.
Jasper gave me directions along the way and we were at his house sooner then I wished. I idled in his driveway while we said our goodbyes. When Jasper got out of the truck he walked around the front of the car to my window, which I quickly rolled down. I looked up at him as he leant his head down.
My heart began to flutter. He was going to kiss me! My breathing quickened slightly and the flutter of my heart increased to a pounding inside my chest. I thought I was going to die of heart failure.
Jasper leant his head inside the truck, his eyes on my lips the whole time. His face was mere inches away from my own when he quickly brought his mouth close to my ear.
"Goodnight Bella" he whispered quickly before turning and walking towards his front door. I was shocked and disappointed. I heard him chuckle slightly before entering his house. If he wanted to play this way, then I could too. I smiled and planned how I was going to get back at him on my way home.
I'm evil. How'd you feel about the almost kiss? Let me know in a review!
I'm moving this week so I'm going to try to write a few chapters before then.
