Here are a few necessities that I forgot to put in the fist chapter;

Alice POV

Jasper and Edward are vamps, no one else is.

There we go. All set. Oh, and BTW, some of you have said that you don't know where this story is going to go…The only answer to that is read and you shall see! P.S for those who are interested, this story was posted partly to prove a friend wrong (naming no names...Cough… sparklieedwardomg!) in saying that I cannot write serious stories, and partly to prove that to myself, as well!

Continued from ' one week earlier…'

From that day on Jasper began talking to me more and more. I mean, yeah, I talked to him on MSN sometimes, but I was always locked in my room talking to my other friends more. Not that I minded, of course…To me, he was just Jasper Hale, but to most of the other girls in the school (and maybe even some of the younger teachers), he was the Hot Guy, the one that they longed after, who they cried over at night because he didn't want to be with them. I wasn't like that at the start, but soon I was addicted to him. It was like I needed him for my very soul to survive. Some might say it was love, but love is supposed to be two - sided, isn't it? Even in the later days of our relationship, I had to do a double - take every time I saw him, he was just too stunning for my eyes to behold.

I was walking home from my band practice after school, moving swiftly and quietly through the thick twilight air. I heard a movement behind me - a kind of…swishing sound. I ignored it, hoping it was nothing. As I turned the corner that led to my street, I heard it again, except louder this time, like a soft, sweet voice whispering in my ear. I was just about to turn up my driveway when a boy appeared in front of me. After a few minutes of getting over the initial shock I recognized the boy as none other than Jasper. I shuffled around uncomfortably, shifting my weight from foot to foot and leaned against a nearby lamppost.

'Hey, Alice. I was wondering if you would go with me to this gig my band have lined up next Saturday. You seriously wouldn't want to miss it. We are so awesome…Especially as they have me for a bass player!' He said nonchalantly, placing one hand on the lamppost above me and leaning towards me.

'It wouldn't be a date or anything…' he breathed softly, looking into my eyes, 'Unless you want it to be.'

'Umm, sure, I guess,' I stuttered. I wasn't expecting that. I had to say yes! He's gorgeous! OhmiGod…I'm so shallow!

'Great. I guessed you would say yes…no girl I know could say no to me.' He winked and walked away down the street and out of view.

Oh God! He's growing on me…but I still think he's too egotistic for his own good. He's really gonna take it to heart when a girl turns him down one day…

Next day at school

As I was sitting at my usual table with my best friend Rosalie and her boyfriend Emmett I saw jasper glancing at me from across the hall in the lunch queue. It's weird…He always gets food but he never eats it. What a waste of money that must be. He got his food and sat down with his brother Edward, who flashed a knowing smile at him. Jasper sat his food down and came up behind me.

'Only two more days till the gig. Can't wait to see you there,' he whispered in my ear. His lips brushed briefly on my earlobe. They were ice cold. I shivered, hugging my light denim jacket closer. I knew from then on I didn't have the strength to ignore him any longer.

PS, Yeah, these are going to be quite short chapters…I have no concentration! It took me a few days even to do this one. xoxo
