Edward walked to the cafeteria still thinking about that girl.

Catching up to Jasper, his best friend, Edward put his hand on his shoulder. Startled, Jasper turned around and noticed that Edward looked jumpy.

"What's with that face? Did you see a horrifying ghost?" Jasper asked worried.

"No, it was rather a beautiful thing!" Edward said, still a bit dazed.

That was when Bella reluctantly walked through the door of the cafeteria, heading to the furthest table where she tossed her backpack on the table and sat on the chair, muttering to herself, "Next time, I will use my bike."

From across the cafeteria, Edward and Jasper were looking at her when Rosalie, Jasper's younger sister, interrupted their staring spell.

"Edward, you have a bit of drool coming out of your mouth," Rosalie said, laughing.

"What? No, I don't! I´m not remotely interested," he answered a bit defensively. He didn't drool over any girl.

"Good, because I am," Jasper said, preparing to go talk to the girl.

Edward regretted his words immediately.

Jasper, having nothing more to say, got up from the table and began to walk towards Bella.

"I think you shouldn't go," Edward told him.

"Why not?" Jasper replied quickly.

"Because she´s the new girl and she will think you are desperate, Jasper!"

"Or that I'm godsend because I'm the first to speak to her here."

"Or that you are desperate," Edward insisted.

"Crap!" Jasper sighed and plonk back in his seat.
