"Alice, hurry it up or we are going to be late for school." I called out with a sigh. It was always this way on the first day of the school year or first day back from break. "I will be out waiting with the others in the garage."

"Be right down, Jazz." She sang from her bathroom.

Shaking my head, I walked outside with a groan. Hopefully the next place we moved to I could go to college instead of being stuck in a building all day with hormonal teenagers. Walking out to the garage I could feel everyone's frustration at having to wait. "Don't look at me; you know nothing in this world can make Alice move faster if she doesn't want it to."

"If she isn't here in sixty seconds then she can drive herself." Edward snapped as he got behind the wheel of his Volvo. I quickly took the front passenger seat as Emmett and Rosalie climbed in the back. He shot me a look filled with concern.

I shook my head and thought, we are fine. We can hunt later if you want to talk.

He nodded and reversed out of the garage, pulling around to the front to wait for Alice. "Alice!"

"I'm here so stop your grousing." She said as she closed the back door. "Thanks for waiting, guys."

"Like we really had a choice?" Edward sighed as he started down the driveway. "Is there anything we should know about that could be happening today or is it just going to be another boring day at Forks High?"

Alice giggled. "There's a new girl starting today. The chief's daughter, but I haven't seen her in any of my visions for today so I can only imagine that we won't interact with her at all."

I could hear the annoyance in her voice. "Alice, not everyone needs to have you in their life."

"That's not very nice to say to me, Jazz." She pouted. "Everyone needs a bit of me in their lives. If not the world would look much worse than it does now."

Rose snorted. "Alice, for once can we just have a normal day without you critiquing everyone in school and telling them how to dress better?"

"Oh, Rose, you know you feel the same way."

"I do, but I don't care enough to voice it." Rose snapped. "Let's just have a day where we completely ignore the humans for once."

"If that is what you want." Alice closed her eyes as she leaned her head against the window. "Today will be a day of ignoring the humans."

"Thank you." Rose smiled as we parked in our normal spot in the parking lot.

I got out of the car, glad to be somewhere that I could legitimately put distance between myself and Alice. Pretending that we were still together for the others was really starting to wear on my patience. Glancing at Edward, I caught his confusion.

Stay out of my head, I thought, we will talk later, but stay out of my head.

He nodded before walking towards the school with us following his lead. Emmett had his arm around Rose's shoulders staking his claim and Alice walked next to me out of habit but did not touch me. I sighed, we were going to have to come clean to the family about our separation soon, this was getting past the point of insanity.

Walking through the doors into the school, we split up, each going to our first period classes. My first class was History with Rose and it was the only class I enjoyed in this horrid high school. I would listen as Mr. Harris talked about what happened and I would silently laugh at all of the incorrect facts that he spewed. It wasn't like I could challenge him though; he didn't know that I had lived through most of the history he taught.

We took our seats in the back and prepared for another boring class where the other students gossiped about the Cullen kids and wished they were a part of the family. Just before the final bell signaled the start of class the door opened again and I sat up straight in my seat.

The new girl, Isabella Swan, walked in the door with her head down cast as she handed a slip of paper to Mr. Harris. She stood by patiently waiting for him to sign the paper and directed her to take a seat. She looked up and frowned when the only available seat was the one in front of me, which I found odd. Normally humans only tried to avoid us after they had been close to us, not beforehand.

I watched her walk to the desk in front of me and place her bag next to it before sitting down, not once lifting her head from her feet. I took in her sent, it was a crisp smell mixed with jasmine. It made me think of being in a field of jasmine with the first snowfall of the year. I closed my eyes as a sense of contentment flowed through me. I couldn't tell if it was coming from Isabella or me so I tried to read her emotions, but was unable to get a firm read. I watched her the whole class and she never once lifted her head from her desk, which was odd.

As the bell rang, Rose and I stood to move for the door and I was about to say something to Isabella, but she was already walking out of the door. I looked to Rose and she just shrugged. My next two classes passed without anything happening and no Isabella or any of my siblings. When the bell rang signaling the end of third period and the beginning of lunch, I went to the cafeteria to meet up with everyone so we could pretend to eat. Everyone was already at our table when I walked in and Alice had grabbed a tray of food for me.

I was pushing the fries around my plate when the cafeteria grew silent. We turned to look and saw that Isabella had finally made it to the cafeteria. She made her way over to the lunch line and then scanned the room for an open seat. I watched as her shoulders slumped when she found only one open seat and that was at the table closest to ours. I caught her glance at us before moving to the seat next to Mike Newton.

Mike tried to draw her into a conversation, but she only nodded at him, never actually speaking. He decided it was too much work so he went back to talking to Jessica, leaving Isabella to her thoughts. I watched her push her food around her plate much as I was doing. I took the last moments of lunch to watch her and I tried to read her emotions, but she was coming across as completely blank. This was the first human I had ever come across that was able to block me. Curious, I looked at Edward and caught his eye. Can you hear her thoughts?

Edward glanced in her direction and his brow furrowed before barely shaking his head.

So she was immune to both of our gifts. That really was a first and it had my curiosity piqued. Just then the bell rang signaling the end of lunch and we all headed off to our next classes. I was up for a wonderful hour of English Lit; well it would be wonderful if I didn't share this class with Alice. We walked in together and took our seats in the back. Just as with History this morning, right before the bell sounded to start class in walked Isabella.

She kept her head down as she handed a slip of paper to Mrs. Taylor. Again she kept her head down as she walked to the only seat open; this one was in front of Alice. Alice looked like she was going to say something to her but Isabella sighed as she sat down, sending out a sense of annoyance. I shook my head at Alice and she kept to herself for the remainder of class. I spent the rest of the day trying to understand how I could feel her emotions only some of the time.

The final bell rang signaling the end of the school day so I dumped my stuff in my locker and headed out to Edward's car. I ended up walking right behind Isabella and I noticed she tensed up when I got close to her. It was an odd reaction as humans usually relaxed around us if we were this close; it was a perk of being a vampire. Not with her though, she tensed and mumbled something so softly that even I couldn't understand her and darted out through the open doors. Once outside, I saw her get into an old beat up truck and drive out of the parking lot.

"Obsessed much?" Edward asked from beside his car causing me to laugh.

Joining him at his car I shrugged. "I'm intrigued. She is silent to you and I only randomly can sense her emotions. I can only say that Isabella is not your typical human."

The others joined us at the car and we climbed in to head home. I couldn't help but think about Isabella and how odd she was in relation to the other humans we dealt with. I felt compelled to figure her out.

Once we got home, everyone split off to do their own thing and Edward asked for me to go hunt with him. Knowing that we were going to be doing more talking than hunting, I almost said no but then I remembered our earlier conversation and nodded.

The hunt itself was nothing unusual. Edward managed to find himself a mountain lion and I took down a couple deer a few miles away from the furthest edge of our property. Edward moved to a boulder and sat down, staring at the sky. I rolled my eyes and sat on the grass close to the boulder, waiting for him to ask the question. I didn't have long to wait.

"So what's up with you and Alice?"

I closed my eyes and lay back in the grass. "We are no longer together. I want to tell the family, but she says that we need to wait and won't tell me why."

"I think you need to tell me what's going on, Jasper." Edward sighed. "You know the rest of the family will accept both of you regardless of being together or not."

"I know. It just feels odd to have come to this family as a couple and to have fallen apart over the past couple of decades." I opened my eyes to watch the clouds drift across the sky. Taking a deep breath, a hint of jasmine filtered through there air, tugging at a memory. "I guess I will talk to Alice about it when we get back to the house."

Edward shifted, looking around. "Good idea."

I sat up, noticing how uncomfortable he was looking. "Hey, what's up?"

"I'm not sure, I just feel…weird." He looked around again. "Like we are being watched."

I reached out with my senses and could feel nothing, but I started to feel the same thing, like we were being watched. I stood up and looked around us. We were out in the open, about fifty yards from the trees and about thirty yards from the cliff. I walked to the edge of the cliff and a sense of worry fell over me. I looked back at Edward, but he was more curious than anything. Pondering over the odd feeling, I looked out to the water and felt the worry again as a hint of jasmine filtered across my senses again. It seemed so familiar as well as being watched, these were things I had experienced since before Maria found me. Thinking about it, I noted that I hadn't felt that way in a couple of decades.

"Huh." I grunted at the force of the feelings that were now flowing into me. Happiness and excitement, love, but that was also tinged with worry, sorrow and acceptance. I looked up in the sky as I remembered these feelings and the conversation from back in Alaska. Remembering that conversation, I also remembered I was not to tell anyone in the family about it. "Crap."

"What's up Jasper? Did you find something over there?" Edward asked from his boulder.

I turned to look at him. Curious, it was like he couldn't read my thoughts. Nothing, just stressing I guess.

"Did you hear me, Jasper?"

"What? Sorry." That was weird; he can't read my mind anymore. What gives? "Just stressing over telling the family about the breakup. You know Esme will go nuts trying to make sure everyone is ok."

"I understand. Let's go back. Might as well rip the band aid off right?" He laughed.

"Laugh now, pretty boy. Soon you will find someone and then we will see how much fun you have dealing with her and the family being in all of your business at the same time." I darted towards him and knocked him from his boulder, laughing as he flew backwards.

"I will get you back for that, Jasper." He stood up, brushing off his pants. "Hey, how did you do that? I should have seen that in your thoughts?"

"Maybe you're losing your touch, pretty boy." I smirked; it was nice having my thoughts all to myself. I felt a sense of pride flow over me. Maybe this all had to do with the visit I had all those years ago, I sent out a wave of thankfulness in the direction the other emotions were coming from, hoping that whoever it was could feel it. I started to walk back into the trees to head home when a breeze ruffled the hair on the collar of my shirt. Taking a deep breath, I smelled jasmine again and some spice that I wasn't yet able to place. I heard feathers rustling in the trees above me, but looking up, I saw nothing but a lone feather floating down towards my upturned face. I caught it and the smell of jasmine increased.

Edward stopped next to me, looking curious. "What do you have there?"

"Just a feather." I responded, twirling it between my fingers as I took off to the house. I had plans for this feather; it had a mate back in my study that it needed to join.
