Chapter two

Jasper POV

That night I had the weirdest dream, I was walking down this dark street, In the dream I knew where I was going but I can't remember now... anyway so I'm walking down this street and these guys surround me, there was 4 or 5 of them or something and they grab me and demand that I give them what I'm holding. I think they meant drugs I don't know it was just some fucked up dream.

But suddenly Alice was there, walking towards me and these 5 men looking like an angel. I wanted to scream at her to run, these guys were dangerous and had weapons, but she just put that same smile on her face that she had on in the cafeteria and suddenly the guys had let me go and were backing away. It was as if they were afraid of her but how could they be when she looked so sweet and innocent, so pretty and petite like an Angel.

Fuck my mind must be going to mush. I don't get crushes on girls.

Anyway then I woke up.

I have no idea why I'm dreaming about her, or why I can't get her out of my head.

Alice POV

Edward was in my room again, pacing back and forth. Alice why are you thinking like this? Why?

I didn't know why he didn't just stop listening to my thoughts it was really none of his business and I was starting to get pissed off, I mean who was he to tell me to stop thinking about a human?

Wasn't he the one that ran away from one once?

"Edward I haven't even done anything yet!"

"But you will!"

"Look why do you care so much? I can't help it there is something about Jasper and you just have to trust me"

"I can't. Just trust me, I have bad feelings about him, I can't hear all his thoughts, it's all static and what I can hear is rude"

"so that's not your choice to make, who I decide to like is my choice, he may be human Edward but you and me both know that's not the problem. You just need to trust me; I know what I'm doing Edward stop being over protective. You know I can look after myself."

Edward was silent then, he sighed and nodded. "fine, but if something happens, if I find out he has some plan or is going to hurt you I will not hesitate to rip his cocky little head of." He shut the door behind him as he left, leaving me by myself with my thoughts.

Jasper Jasper Jasper. Why is it that I can't get you out of my head?

It was times like these I wished I could sleep, I wondered if he felt something too, god as if he did, he'd have no idea he probably already thinks I'm some freak like the rest of the school. Oh god and I smiled at him, why the hell did I do that?

I was going insane. Maybe Edward was right, maybe I should stop trying to figure him out, just forget about him.

The next morning I found myself staring at him from across the hall, he was standing there, leaning against his locker, his blonde hair hanging down in his eyes and he looked like he hadn't slept at all. Something was troubling him and god I wanted to know what, I wanted to know everything he was thinking. Oh god, what was happening to me?

I was staring at him, just standing there in the hall way staring at him and he looked up and met my eyes, so I turned around and sprinted away from him. I couldn't handle all these feelings.

I walked slowly to English class knowing I had to talk to Bella; I had to tell somebody that I didn't know what the hell was going through my head. Bella was already in her seat when I walked in and noticed the look on my face; she looked at me with concern as I sat down.

"We need to talk I whispered".

Our teacher hushed us immediately and I felt like throwing a book at her head. Honestly teachers need to get a grip why does it matter if we are whispering don't they realise no one listens to their crap anyways?

God why was I so irritated?

Bella passed me a blank piece of paper and I got the hint.

I don't know what to do.

About J?

Yes. God Bella, I have no Idea what's going through my head.

Nothing makes sense, and everything always makes sense to me.

What happened this morning?

I was walking to my locker and I saw J and I just stopped dead in my tracks and stared at him,

He looked so tired and I just wanted to walk up to him and ask him why? I wanted to know everything that was going through his head.

So what's so bad about that? You like him; maybe you should just try and get to know him.

But that just it, He probably has no interest in me what so ever, what if it's one sided and he doesn't feel anything, I'm not normal Bella for god sakes we aren't normal I can't just get to know him like a normal person can!!!

Why not? You said to me that you were sure, you said you felt like there was something else, something else you hadn't figured out yet, there's some reason for this, there has to be. Alice just admits it you've been around for a long time and you've never been interested in a guy like this. Obviously it's not just a stupid crush or something.

I suppose.

It's not, Alice I'm your best friend, and I'll be here for you no matter what.

Don't worry about anything else, you just need to concentrate on your feelings, you want to know him.

So act human for god's sake and get to know him, figure out if he feels the same way and take it from there.

Okay, I'll try I suppose.

-------

The bell rang and I realised both of us had payed no attention in class, but what did it matter, it was just English and we'd do it over and over again anyway.

I left the room thinking about what Bella had said, I had to do it the human way and get to know him right? But I was also thinking about the fact that it didn't change anything, so what if he felt the same way once he found out what I was he wouldn't want me anyway.

I suddenly realised why Edward wanted Bella to stay away from him in the first place.

Jasper POV

I couldn't shake the dream, as I walked through the corridors of my new school, I was so tired because I just couldn't go back to sleep after that dream. And I couldn't stop thinking about Alice even when I didn't even want to be thinking about her in the first place.

I was leaning against my locker staring at nothing when I felt someone looking at me... I looked up and there she was, her hair all sticking out in the cute way it did and she was standing there staring at me, she blushed and friggen turned around and bolted in the other direction.

I had no idea what was going on or why I couldn't get her out of my head, but it seemed like I don't know, that maybe she was thinking about me too?

No that's dumb, I'm just the new kid that everyone is staring at... she's probably just curious or something.

"Jasper hey, Jasper what's going on?" mike was talking to me.

God if I had one wish it would be to make this kid disappear or at least shut up; anyone would think he had a crush on me. They never seemed to stop talking they were always going on about this or that, sitting with them at lunch was hell with them two never shutting up and Jessica's stupid voice. I knew that one day of that was enough, and I couldn't actually believe that I was planning to go to the library to "study" at lunch time but the silence sounded a whole lot more appealing and if I had to sit with them they were going to drive me insane.

My classes were boring, people whispered about me. I supposed the rumours were already going around about why I moved here, the fact that I lived with my brother would be making people wonder where my parents were. And it was a small town; probably people knew my brother was a bum.

When the bell for lunch rang I went slowly to my locker and walked in the opposite way from the cafeteria towards the library.

I walked in wondering if you were even aloud in here at lunch but the library teacher smiled at me, which I took as that we were aloud and not many people came in here.

I took a seat in the corner behind a book case and pulled out my iPod.

It had only been ten or fifteen minutes before I felt that weird feeling, like a vibration humming through the air, so I turned around to see Alice staring at me again.

I pulled my head phones out, she must have been coming to sit down over here; she had a ton of books in her arms.

"Hey" she said, her voice sounded... like an angels. Wth.

I shook my head as she gave me a half smile.

"Hey" I replied awkwardly.

"You're Jasper right?" she asked the question politely, but I mean obviously everyone already knew who I was.

"Yeah" I replied anyway.

"I'm Alice" she said with another one of her perfect smiles.

She dumped her books down on the desk next to mine, and when I looked at them she frowned and asked "do you mind?"

"No, no go ahead."

"I'm so behind" she said shrugging and sat delicately down on her chair then she opened her books and started reading.

I knew that I should stop staring at her; I didn't want to scare her or anything. But god she smelt so damned good, like flowers, roses, and sugar, like raspberries and strawberries. How she could smell like so many different things at once I had no idea.

I put my left headphone back in, not wanting to put both in and seem like I was trying to ignore her presence or anything.

When the bell finally rang I stood up and stretched my arms up above my head, I looked over to catch Alice looking at me… She smiled this cheeky smile, got up gathered her books into her arms and walked away, not even saying anything.

I had no idea what was going on exactly but I had a feeling things were about to get very strange.
