Disclamer: i own none of the characters! sadly...

oh just to clear up some stuff in the last chapter:

Esme only lookes mad because she doesnt aprove of the bike, thats all.

I woke up the next morning a little earlier that I usually do. I looked at the clock on my alarm. It was 5:00.

I tried to go back to sleep but couldn't. I was lying down in bed for a while, replaying last night's events.

Flashback

I got home and Charlie was already there. When I walked through the door and Charlie said "Hey Kid" like there wasn't anything going on, but of course he didn't know what happened.

He then got a little angry about how late I was out. I was thinking about mom when I was riding home so I had tears in my eyes.

With one look at my face, he forgot about the time. "Oh, Bella, what happened?"

"Mom, she… she." I couldn't finish.

"Bella, what's going on?" I think the tears scare him more than anything else.

"Mom, got transferred… today."

"Well, that's a good thing right? She is closer to you." I was shaking my head before he finished.

"When I got there… a little while later… I didn't even get to say goodbye." I was crying too hard to finish, and I don't think I made too mush sense.

I think he got what happened. He was shocked.

"Bella I am so sorry." He pulled me into a hug. It wasn't something he usually does, but I let him.

"I couldn't do anything. Dr. Cullen even tried to help, but there wasn't anything they could do. I keep thinking that if I didn't come here, this wouldn't have happened." I think that hurt him a little bit.

"I'm so sorry Bells. Listen, it's not your fault. You did nothing to cause this."

"I'm really going to miss her, dad." I hugged him again.

"I know Bella, I know." He was still hugging me.

After a while we got to talking about the funeral and other things. We made a few calls to family members and close friends.

End Flashback

About 30 minutes later, I decided to get up. I got clean clothes, my bathroom bag and headed to the shower.

I need to wash off all the sadness and not let it show today. I don't want anyone to know what happened, I don't need any pity.

When I got out of the shower, I blew by hair dry so it would be easier to work with. I threw on my clothes and made sure they looked good. Pink skinny jeans and a white tee-shirt that said "Panda-monium" on it, along with a picture of a cartoon panda. I teased my hair a bit and applied makeup to my face. Just a little eyeliner, mascara, and shadow.

I went downstairs to get some breakfast. Charlie was still home and it was only 5:40, so I thought I would make some eggs and toast.

Charlie came down about 10 minutes later and smiled at me. We didn't talk much, but it wasn't awkward. When he left we both wished each other good luck that day.

I sat there, playing with my eggs for a little while. When I got tired of sitting there, I went through the cupboards to see what we had. We had absolutely nothing, I need to go shopping, that's for sure. I went back up stairs to put on my shoes.

I walked by the bathroom, and had to look in the mirror to see if I looked good. Ok, why am I suddenly into my looks?

Jasper. That was an easy one to answer.

I still needed to know more about him. I completely forgot about the last question I was suppose to ask him. I still had no idea what I was going to ask him, but I had better make it good.

I keep drawing up a blank. Nothing seems good enough, I want to know what he is, but I don't think I should ask him that.

I headed out the door and off to school. On the way to school, all I thought was what to ask him. The next thing I knew, I was pulling into the parking lot. Again, most of the heads turned to look at me. I hope they get used to the bike soon. It could be that I have on bright pink pants, I don't really know.

I parked my bike, took off my helmet, and headed off to my locker. While I was at my locker, I noticed one other person in the hallway with me. It was a Cullen, and I'm pretty sure Jasper said it was Emmett, he had huge muscles. He was 3 lockers down from me.

I was weird because when I was done and I closed my locker, he was standing right next to me. I didn't think he would be that close and I gave a yelp of fright.

He chuckled. "Sorry."

I was trying to calm my heart and was taking steady breaths. "It's ok."

"So you're Bella Swan, huh?" He was looking at me funny.

"Yep." I smiled at him. "And you are Emmett, right?"

"The one and only." He smiled back at me.

"Was there something I could help you with?" I asked him.

"No, not really."

I was confused. It wasn't the first time I was confused by a Cullen though. "Well, then what do you want?"

"Oh, nothing. I just wanted to see the girl my bro hung out with yesterday. That's all." He smiled sweetly at me.

I blushed a little.

"So , Bella what's shakin?" Ok, change of subject.

"Um, nothing. Just the same ole, same ole."

He chuckled. "You know Bella, Your very interesting." Huh? What's with this guy?

"Um, ok? Is that a good thing?"

"Definitely, definitely." He winked.

The bell was about to ring, and the hallways filled up. Many people looked at us when they walked by. "Well, Emmett, I gotta go."

"Okey dokey. I'll see you 'round." He said it like he knew something I didn't.

I ignored that. "Bye-bye."

I walked away from him. Well, that was one conversation I thought I would never have.

Shaking my head, I walked into my class. Many people stared at me again, but I ignored them and thought about that conversation I just had.

He said I was interesting. I was interesting how? He didn't even know me, and we have never talked before then. Man, this is going to kill me. Throughout the next 2 classes I thought about yesterday.

What would make a Cullen think I was interesting? I still haven't figured them out, and I think I was far from it, too. I have only met 2 of them, well 3 if you include the brief conversation with Emmett.

Did he mean to confuse you? Ok Bella, don't get obsessed. Well, it's too late for that. Gosh, now I'm talking to myself. UGH!

When the bell rang, I headed off to lunch, trying not to think about the Cullen's' and their secret.

When I entered the lunchroom, my eyes focused on the table full of the people I was trying to forget about. I looked at Jasper, not to see how cute he looked, of to see if he noticed me, but to get a really good look at him.

At that moment, I convinced myself that I did not like him, I had absolutely no feelings for him. I mean, he could be cool friend, but I want to know what the heck he is!

Jeeze, what kind of bad person am I? Am I using him? I really hope I didn't throw myself at him too hard yesterday, so he were to think I like him.

I grabbed my salad and headed to the table I sat at yesterday. I actually started a conversation up with Angela, trying to keep away from my bad thoughts. Angela was a really cool person, maybe a little shy, but after you start to talk to he she opens up a bit.

We were having so much fun, just talking, when other people at the table joined in. Somehow we got to the subject of dances and plays. I have no idea how that happened.

I decide to act out something for these people, you know, show 'em how I do.

"Hey, you guys wanna see my act something?" I asked the whole table at random.

"Like what?"

"Where?"

" When?"

They were all talking at once.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Calm yo' selves. Here, now, and hmm… my own twist on Romeo and Juliet." I told them all.

"You would really just do it now?" Someone asked.

"Yeah, why not?" It's not like I'm afraid of the spotlight. "All I need is my Romeo."

I expected Mike, Tyler or Eric to volunteer, but no one did. I looked over at Angela. "Ange, would you please?" I gave her my puppy dog face.

"Me? But I'm a girl."

"Well, duh. But all you need to do is swing your legs over the seat when I tell you to." I gave her the face again.

"Umm…"

"Please?"

"FINE, just don't look at me like that anymore." She sighed.

I jumped up and did a little happy dance. "Okay."

I sat back down, my back towards them, and put my head in my hands.

"ACTION!" I yelled."

I jumped up and turned around with a sad look on my face.

"Where is he?" I asked. I noticed everyone in the cafeteria looking at me, but I ignored them.

I ran around the table like a princess looking for something she dropped.

"Where is my Romeo?"

I tapped Mike on the shoulder and stared him deep in the eye. "I need my love." I reached out to touch him on the cheek softly, but pulled away just before I made contact.

"Romeo, Romeo, where for art thou Romeo? I shall not rest 'till I see my beloved."

I glanced at Angela, she looked like she was about to burst out in laughter. I grinned at her and mouthed "now" at her. She swung her legs over the seat and turned her back to me.

"THERE, there he is!" I ran around the table towards her. "I thought I had lost you."

I collapsed onto her lap. I hooked one of my arms around her heck and leaned back dramatically with my other hand on my forehead.

I guess she decided to play along with me. "I'm here. I would never leave you alone, my love."

I looked up at her and smiled. "We are together again. We are complete!"

I jumped up and held out my hand to her. She grabbed it and we both ran out of the room.

As soon as the doors behind us closed, we burst out laughing. Tears were running down out cheeks, and we were having trouble laughing.

I was clutching my sides. "Well that was extremely fun, huh Angela?"

She was trying to control her breathing. "Yes, yes it was."

"We should probably go back and give a little bow." I told her after we got our breathing under control.

"You know, I have never done anything so out there and on a whim before."

"Thanks for playing along, even though it was really stupid." Why was it so stupid? Couldn't I think of anything better?

"Nah, it was funny, and your right, I think we should go back in there."

I smiled at her. I held out my arm and she linked hers through it. "Shall we?" I gestured to the cafeteria.

She nodded. "We shall."

We skipped through the doors, and were greeted with a bunch of laughter and cheers.

"Say there, Angela. I think we've missed something."

"I do believe your right." She smirked. "What do you think it was?"

"I have no idea." I smirked too.

We reached our table and it erupted in more cheers and whistles.

I jumped up onto the seat and did a little bow. "Thank you, thank you. If any of you would like to see any more of Bella making a fool of herself, I can probably guarantee you'll be seeing more of it in the future. Now, lets not forget my Romeo."

I pointed to Angela who curtsied, even though she was playing a guy, and she was wearing jeans.

"Now ladies and gentlemen, please go back to whatever you were doing before my little show." I said to everyone.

I sat back down.

I looked over at the Cullen table. They were all staring at me. Alice looked shocked, but amused, Edward looked frustrated and I have no idea why, Emmett looked shocked and in awe, Rosalie looked extremely jealous and kind of disgusted, and Jasper had a small smile on his lips. I turned away from them after I flashed them a huge smile.

The bell rang soon after, and everyone started to head to class. I took my time walking to class. Many people came up to me and Angela, who was walking next to me, and told us how cool we were to just get up and do that.

When I entered the class, it was almost full. Some people clapped and I said thank you.

When I got to my sear, Alice appraised me and also gave me hug. It was like we have know each other for years, and not a day. I hugged her back.

When we pulled away, she said something that I completely forgot about, and it bummed me out.

"I'm sorry about your mom Bella." She sounded sincere.

The smile got wiped off my face. "Oh, thanks."

"I'm sorry to bring it up, but Jazz told me last night. I just wanted to let you know that I'm sorry and I'm here if you need anything."

"Thanks, but you don't need to do that for a stranger." I told her and looked away.

"Well, how about for a friend?" I looked back at her. She was smiling.

I smiled back at her. "Ok."

We both turned our attention to the teacher, but my thoughts drifted back to my game of 20 questions with Jasper. Crap! I forgot about the question again!

I didn't have time to think of one because the teacher assigned us to work in pairs again.

Alice was a really good person to have as a lab partner, fun, energetic and smart. We have so much fun in that class. We laugh, and joke and it's a wonder how we get our work done.

Sometimes, though, she gets that far away look in her eyes, I think she knows something I don't. She'll either have a sad look in her eye, of a happy one, but its hard to tell because she blocks it so well.

When the bell range, she hugged me again and told me she would talk to me later.

In gym, we were starting basketball, which I'm fairly good at. We all had to take turns dribbling down the court and shoot a basket.

When it wasn't my turn, I thought of my last question. There was so much I wanted to ask him, but I don't want him to get mad. It would be cool to meet his family though. Well, the ones I haven't met yet, or talked to. Bingo! Last question.

I smiled to myself, and Mike just so happen to be looking my way. He winked at me, thinking I was smiling at him. I almost gagged. Sorry Mike, I don't think of you like that.

The class went by really slowly. I'm thinking it was because I was so eager to get to my last class. Finally, the coach blew the whistle and I went to go change.

When I got to my literature class, I was all cool and collected on the outside, but on the inside, I was giddy and inpatient.

Jasper was there already and I went to sit down. He looked at me confused for a second, but then smiled.

I smiled back at him. "Why, hello there Jasper."

"Hello to you too, Bella. That was quite a show at lunch."

"I know, I know. I miss my Romeo already." I put a hand over my heart.

He just smirked. "It must be so hard for you to go so long without her. "

"Him." I corrected quickly.

He smiled and rolled his eyes. "Sorry. It must be so hard for you to go so long without him."

"You have no idea." I laid back in my chair in a fake faint.

He chuckled.

"It's a shame you couldn't pull it off." I decided to have a little fun with him.

He looked at me suspiciously. "Pull what off?"

"Oh, nothing." I made the mistake by looking into his eyes. A sudden wave of… I don't even know, washed over me, it made me want to spill my secrets. I looked away, then glared at him.

"Mister, that stuff aint gonna work." I told him.

He was shocked at first, but the smirked evilly. "Fine, then." He turned and looked at the whiteboard.

"Yeesh, so childish." I whispered to myself. I could have sworn I saw him smirk, but there was no way he could have heard that.

Jeeze, Bella. Get a grip on yourself.

"Fine, fine. I just don't think you could pull of doing something like I did in public." I said loudly enough so only he could hear.

He leaned closer to me, and was inches away. "Wanna bet?"

Whoa! His breath smelled great. Wow, creepy thought.

"Yep, I do." I held out my hand to we could shake on it.

He looked down at my hand for a second.

I continued. "Today, after school, we're going to the hmm… park." I had to think of a public place. "There I'll put you to a test."

I didn't think he would agree, but he grabbed my hand and shook it. "Deal."

His hands were ice cold and hard, but soft too. I can't explain it.

Mr. Martin called the class to order, and Jasper had no time to talk for the rest of the class.

When the bell rang, and I got up to leave, Jasper called me back.

"Hey, Bella?"

I turned around slowly. "Yes?"

"Don't you still have one question left?"

"Yep." I popped the p.

"And?" I looked slightly impatient.

I smiled at him. "Ill ask you later. How about I meet you at your house in about 2 hours?"

He chuckled and nodded.

We both walked out to the parking lot, and I veered off to the school. He raised his eyebrow at me.

"My helmet is in my locker.

Realization struck him and he playfully hit his head in a "duh" motion.

"I turned to head back and he called out, "I'll see you in a couple hours."

Some people stopped and looked at me, amazed. I just kept walking but waved my hand to tell him I understood.

When I got to my locker, Jessica came up to me with a shocked expression on her face.

ok so there you have it! Emmett came up to Bella because when Jasper got home, him and his family had a talk about her, Emmett wanted to talk to her to see what she was like.

some of you may think that the little show Bella did was stupid, but it plays a key part in the story. you will find out next chapter!
