Summary- An all-human romance tale of the meeting between Bella Swan and Jasper Whitlock. OOC- that's your second warning which means I'm serious. =D

"So I met your friend."

Jasper looked up from his notebook distractedly, pen dangling from his lips. "What?"

Edward arched an eyebrow as he tossed his bag on the bench next to the blond. "Miss Bella. She's a cutie."

A small frown touched Jasper's lips as he nodded. "Yeah, she's pretty. Sweet girl too."

"Mm." Edward clicked his tongue, arms crossing over his chest. "She seems to like you pretty well."

"Oh?"

"She mentioned you warned her about me."

"I may have mentioned you in passing." Now he grinned at the brunette.

Edward sighed deeply as he sat on the bench. "I wonder if she's got a date for the dance next month?"

"Dance?"

He sighed again, fingers grazing his forehead in mock annoyance. "There's the fall formal coming up."

"Oh." he bit his lip, tucking a lock of blond hair behind his ear. "This is her first day, I dunno if she'd have a date already."

"Mike already asked her."

Jasper sputtered. "What?! He's a dick!"

Edward laughed, eyes narrowing in humor. "I know."

"Well what'd she say?"

"She said no. Since she didn't actually know him, and just moved here."

"Pretty and smart."

"Indeed." he sighed deeply, arms crossed again. "I was tempted to ask." he heard a small growl from the blond before laughing slightly. "And that's why I didn't."

"Hm."

"Where's Emmett anyway?"

"Necking with Rose probably." he doodled some curlicues in the corner of the page.

"Fair guess." Edward looked up before standing. "Oh, here's your chance to ask!"

"Hm?" the pen dropped from his lips as Bella stepped from the building, smiling as she saw both boys. "Shit."

Edward laughed as Jasper tucked his hair back behind his ears. That haircut was looking more appealing every minute. Bella smiled again, hiking her books higher in her hands. "Hi guys!"

"Hello Bella." Edward smiled graciously, offering his seat.

She declined with a shake of her head. "Thanks, I'm all right."

"I wanted to ask, are you going to the formal next month?"

"Oh, I dunno." she hedged slightly. "Depends on who asks I guess." she paused, slight frown creasing her lips. "Someone asked me already. Do you know Mike?"

"He's a dick." Jasper blurted as Edward grinned.

Her eyes widened slightly, looking to Edward. He shrugged, tucking his hands into his pockets. "He's right, he's a bit of a bastard to women."

"Ugh, glad I said no then!" she hugged her books, tongue stuck out.

"Well, if you decide to go, I'm sure some lucky guy here would be very pleased to take you." Edward smiled slightly, feeling Jasper's slight glare.

She grinned, sticking her tongue out again. "Yeah, well we'll see about that!!" She smiled at both boys again. "I need to be heading home. It was great to meet both of you today- thank you for making me feel welcome. Tell Emmett I said hi and thanks too!"

"See you tomorrow Bella."

"Yep, tomorrow!" she grinned with a turn. "Bye Jasper!"

He looked up with a slight blush. "Uh, bye Bella, see you tomorrow." she waved in reply as he glanced over at his friend who was smirking.

"Told you." He grinned slightly, picking up his tote bag as he saw Emmett finally emerge from the building, holding Rose's hand. "You may want to pick up on the dialogue though. I'm not even positive you said a single full sentence."

"That's not true, I had at least one." Jasper sighed, packing his belongings.

"True, the first one was the classy 'he's a dick'."

Jasper rolled his eyes as they started towards Emmett's truck, Emmett and Rose falling into step with the boys. She smiled at both. "Hey guys."

"Hiya Rose." Jasper sighed as she cocked her head.

"You okay?"

"Girl troubles." Edward filled in helpfully with a grin.

"Oh?" she perked up slightly. "Who?"

"New girl."

"You know I can hold my own conversation, right?" Jasper asked Edward who grinned with a shrug.

"I'm fine Rose, thanks."

Emmett wrapped an arm around her shoulder, hugging her a moment. "This girl rocks relationships man."

"I know." he sighed. "I'll do this on my own time guys, seriously."

Rose smiled as she pinched the blond's shoulder. "You're a southern charmer Jasper. Just be yourself, if she doesn't fall all over herself, that just makes her an idiot."

Jasper looked up with a grin. "Thanks for the vote of confidence Rose."

"Now if we can just improve his conversational skills, he'll be set!"

Edward took off with a grin, Jasper hot on his heels, yelling obscenities at his friend. Emmett chuckled as Rose sighed. "Those boys."

"Gotta love us."

"If you say so." she shook her head with a grin. "May be time to set sweet Jasper up with a nice girl."

Author's Notes- Hey guys! Sorry for the delay in update- haven't been too inspired lately. But setting it up for the dance was fun (short admittedly, but enjoyable). :) I appreciate your patience and hope you enjoyed this short chapter! :) Thanks again for reading!
