My story was simple. It was short sweet and to the point, but Jasper kept interrupting.
"What do you mean? You ran away! Andi that was very foolish of you! Mother had already lost one child! Then the other at the same time! Oh Andi what were you thinking!" Jasper proclaimed.
"Jazz," I said very calmly," I wasn't thinking that was the problem. I don't know why I did it, but I did. I mean everything happens for a reason right?" He nodded in response he understood my point. Everything did happen for a reason and I knew it.
"So Andrea Y-"Jasper started.
"Katrina," I replied automatically," my name it Katrina or Kat. Katrina Maxine Flint."
"Katrina Maxine? Those were your favorite names growing up."Jasper pointed out.
"That's why it seemed fitting that I picked them Jasper."
"So Shortie any embarrassing stories about Jasper from when you were younger?" Emmett inquired.
"Well," I started with an evil glint in my eye.
"Don't!" Jasper yelled slapping a hand over my mouth. I roared with laughter. Then proceed to bite his hand when he didn't remove it. He howled in pain.
"Once Jasper climbed a tree and on his way down he got his pants stuck and a branch and dangled from it crying. It was hysterical!" The tabled roared with laughter. Jasper ducked his head in shame. It dawned on me then that I didn't know the other people I was socializing with.
"I'm Katrina by the way I forgot to introduce myself properly, and you are?" I said to them.
"I'm Bella," the brunette haired replied bitterly to me," I'm Edward's girlfriend.
"I'm Alice," the pixie girl piped," Jasper's girlfriend!" I beamed at her.
"Were going to be best friends," she smiled back.
"I'm Rosalie," the beautiful blond answered back," Emmett's girlfriend." It was then I realized the look Edward was giving me one of confusion and shock.
"What's wrong Edward are you alright?" I asked worriedly.
"He's fine," Bella snapped at me," just leave him alone!"
"Alright, alright," I put my arms up in defense.
"Touchy much." I mumbled under my breath to low for her to hear. Emmett and Rosalie chuckled under their breath. Edward sighed.
"I'm fine Kat thanks for the concern." He spoke for the first time. The bell rang signaling the end of lunch.
"Where to now Emmett," I jumped up asking him, "We have all the classes together," I explained to the questions faces of my new friends. They nodded their heads and walked out.
"Alright shortie we have US history now with Jasper and Eddie," Emmett said guiding me out of the cafeteria," Jasper loves this class.'
I rolled my eyes," I can only imagine why."
We walked to class joking and laughing with each other. When we walked into class I handed the slip to the teacher and sat down next to Jasper.
"Hey bro, I hear you enjoy this class. I can only imagine why," I whispered winking at him. He chuckled.
"It does get boring though," I raised and eye brow at him.
"Learning things you lived through," he explained to me. I nodded as the teacher began talking. Surprisingly enough we were learning about the civil war. The teacher nagging voice carried on, and my eyes fluttered shut. They snapped open when the teacher yelled," Ms Flint! If you mind my teaching so boring why don't you teach the class about Jasper Whitlock's death and life?"
I grinned inwardly," I would be happy to sir." I stood up and walked to the front of the class.
"Jasper Whitlock was one of the most honored soldiers in the confederate army. He was 17 when he became a general and was highly respected by his elders. When General Whitlock joined the army he left a devastated family behind, His Mother and Father and his little sister Andrea. When escorting people to safety General Whitlock went missing and was proclaimed dead, because no body or evidence could be found. Shortly after his death his sister Andrea ran away and was never found, she was also claimed to be dead. Mrs. Whitlock was broken hearted losing both her children around the same time. Three months later she was dead. Her death could not be explained, she was perfectly healthy. It was later determined she died of a broken heart. Mr. Whitlock however remarried a few years later and had 2 more children and lived a happy life dispute what he had gone through. Any questions?" I smiled sweetly to the teacher after the kids mumbled no and sat down.
"That was impressive," Jasper whispered in my ear. I beamed at him. I finally was content with my life.
