Thank you to EdwardsBellaXOX22 and karenc28 for reviewing..x
He moved over to where she was standing to talk to her, only then did he see her act drop slightly. It was only for a second but the corners of her mouth turned into a half smile, like she realised what she was doing and stopped herself.
"Hey, dwarfie, what are you doing in my class?"
"I was late. Do you even know my name? I would prefer that instead of dwarfie or pixie."
Jasper frowned. He didn't know her name. He knew her surname was Brandon, but he'd never heard her first name. Alice noticed his frowns and went on.
"If you want to know, please tell me."
She was trying to keep it subtle, but she wanted him to know her, she wanted that vision type dream to come true. More than anything.
"I seem to have given you a bad impression, let's start again. I'm Jasper, and you are?"
Alice was about to introduce herself but noticed he wasn't fully interested. He was busy staring at Lauren West who was walking across to talk to the teacher. Thinking of ways he could talk to her. Reasons, excuses, etc..
"Over here."
"Huh?"
"Me, I am over here, not there. When you actually want to know, tell me. Otherwise, go back to your weird fantasies about Lauren."
The way she said Lauren's name with distate clearly told Jasper she was not a big fan of the beautiful girl that was talking to Mr Mayhew. This was a mistake, especially if he wanted to get on this tiny girl's good side.
Alice ignored Jasper after that and he sloped back to where he had previously been standing. She confused him, he was so used to every girl falling at his feet, usually they didn't notice when he was ogling some other girl, but she did. She was too busy to bother with him. To her, Jasper was just another sad player, not worth her time. That's what he thought anyway.
For the rest of the day, Jasper thought of ways to apologise, it would help if he knew her name. He couldn't just shout 'Oi!' that would be rude. He thought about asking James, his little brother was in her year, maybe he would know. What about Emmett Brandon? He was her brother, he would definately know.
In geography, Jasper stopped Emmett at the start to ask about his little sister.
"Hey, your sister, what's her name?"
"Mary, why?"
Jasper shrugged, trying to look nonchalent. He did NOT want Emmett to know that he was after his sister. He knew about older brothers and it was not pretty when they found out.
Emmett saw through Jasper's act straight away, he was good at this. Mary must have tried to lie to him a lot.
"Jasper, I'm warning you, stay away from her. She's not like any other girl you can just forget. She's my sister, and if you hurt her, I will have to crush you."
Jasper gulped loudly. Emmett was huge and muscley and as far as the rumours had told him, he had never lost a fight. Jasper was tall but nothing compared to Emmett. It was strange to think that Emmett and Mary had come from the same family. They were completely different. She was small and fiesty and he was tall and scary. They both were known for there fiery temper. Maybe they weren't completely different.
At lunch, Jasper asked Lauren to be his date to Emmett Brandon's party, Lauren squealed a very high pitched squeal and went to tell all her friends, but Jasper ignored them. He was busy thinking about Mary. Maybe she would be at the party. She wasn't the type to shy away from a crowd, she would probably be there.
After school he ran out of the gates to catch up with her, he wanted to make sure she was there so Emmett wouldn't get any more suspicious than he needed to be. It would DEFINATELY make his suspicious if he asked where she was.
"Mary!Wait!"
"Sssshh!"
Alice grabbed his arm and pulled him to the side of the path. What was he thinking?Yelling her real name out like that? Couldn't he see how horrible it sounded? She slapped his arm and he flinched. She may have been tiny, but she was nearly as strong as Emmett. Despite what he may think, Alice could protect herself.
"Owww! I wanted to ask you if you were going to the party tonight. Why did you hit me?"
"Of course, I'm going to be there, it's at my house and I hit you because you used my name, you asked Emmett didn't you?"
"Yes I did. You want to be called Pixie? Or do you prefer Dwarfie?"
"No. It's Alice actually."
She walked off without saying goodbye and Jasper walked the other way. So she called herself Alice. Why would she do that? Where did that name come from?
Please review, thanks..x
