Chapter nine.

Jasper

I sighed tiredly as i spun around to face the owner of the voice, Alice.

"What do you want Alice?" i asked, well aware of how weary my voice sounded.

She looked surprised for a moment. "I was wondering if you wanted to see a movie saturday?"

I glared at her in disbelief. She actually thought that after ignoring me for days that she could make up for it by going to see a movie?. Nah-uh.

"No thank-you, i'm busy. excuse me" i said briskly walking past her. Pretending that the hole in my heart didn't get slightly bigger as i saw her face crumple with hurt...

Alice.

i sat in the cafeteria, Hurt plauqing my every thought. Why did he pull away?. Why did he look at me like that?

Edward leaned over the table and patted my hand comfortingly. "I'm sure he's just having a bad day." he said, not once taking his eyes off Bella swan.

I scowled at him. "What was he thinking, before?" i asked. interested to know what had been going through Jaspers head.

Edward suddenly looked uncomfortable and yanked his hand back like it was on fire. "I-um didn't er-Get a good read on his thoughts." He said. lying terribly.

I stood from the table in frustration. "Fine! Don't tell me!" i snapped storming away from the cafeteria.

Why was Jasper acting like he hated me?.

I ran through different options but none fit.

Wait!. Maria. the new student. ever since she had came Jasper had been acting weird.

What if he's in love with her?

I could imagine the horrified expression on my face. Then the determined one.

I was going to get rid of this Bitch once and for all.

I determindly walked towards Where i knew Maria's locker was. Luck was on my side as i saw her standing there plus she was alone.

"Maria!" i called to her.

She turned towards me, A scowl painted across her face. If i hadn't been a vampire the expression would have frightened me.

"What?" she snapped, slaming her locker closed. "What do You Want?"

I flinched slightly, her anger surprising me. She had always been nice from what i heard from the whispers around the hall.

"I want you to stay away from Jasper." i said, surprising myself with the steadiness of my voice.

She laughed in my face disbelievingly. "What?"

"He's mine!" i snarled out. possesiveness i didn't even know i had came out.

"He's mine" she mimiked, childishly. "Get over yourself!" she scoffed.

"Listen to me just this once, Maria." i threatened. "Stay away from Jasper Swan. He's Mine!"

"Excuse Me?" a familiar voice from behind me called. "I'm Who's now?"

i froze. and turned to look at the voice guiltily.

"H-hi Jasper"...

TaDA...
