JPOV
I walked into my house and saw my sister being kissed by yet another guy. Furious, I pulled him off her.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing, kid?" I growled, shaking him.
"I- I was just" He stuttered. Ugh, this was disgusting. Why couldn't guys leave Rose alone? I mean, she was really beautiful, but they didn't have to stalk her.
And the worst part was the fact that my parents didn't care. They should've been protecting her, but instead they encouraged this kind of attention. Even though they were working all day, they still had time to tell my twin she should try to get Hunther Gallown, the richest guy in school.
"Get out" I spat, practically throwing the guy out the door and slamming it in his face. I turned to look at Rose.
"Are you OK?" I asked, walking over to give her a hug.
"I'm fine" She said. "I just can't believe he followed me home from school! This is insane!"
"Ditto that" I said as she straightened her blouse.
Rose sighed again.
"Cheer up, Rosie! Hey, I'm gonna make myself something to eat. You want anything?" I asked, walking into our kitchen.
"A sandwich. God, I'm starving!" She said, her stomach growling.
"Yeah, well, I'm glad you'll be putting your mouth to a better use than you were five minutes ago" I teased as my little sis stuck her tongue out at me. Even though I was only 2 minutes older, I felt that I had to protect her.
"Jasper, Jasper, Jasper… I swear if you weren't my favorite brother I would've killed you by now" Rose sat down on the kitchen counter and watched me make our dinner.
"I'm your only brother, kid. Besides, that'd leave nobody to keep all the creepy guys away from you, sis" I said reasonably.
She grabbed her sandwich and I began to munch on mine.
"You were late today" Rose said out of the blue.
"Whaddaya mean?" I mumbled, my mouth full of peanut butter.
"You always get here at around 5:00, Jasper. We both know that you are a creature of habit. Tell me what happened" She demanded. I shook my head, making her impatient "I tell you everything! It's not fair!"
I groaned.
"OK, Rose. Jeez, you're so nosy…"
"Don't you dare try to distract me, Jasper Hale! You know it won't work!" She teased.
"Fine. I stopped by the library so I could get a book for my biology class. You know Mrs. Carmack" I said, rolling my eyes. "God forbid I use the internet"
Rose looked at me suspiciously. As my twin and therefore other half, she knew me far too well.
"You're not telling me the whole story. Dammit, Jasper, what happened in the library?" I could tell by now, Rose was pretty impatient.
"I met this girl…"
"What. Is. Her. Name" Rose asked, looking as if the fate of the planet depended on my answer.
"Alice Brandon" Her face fell. "I don't think you know her, Rosie. She's in my bio class, not yours"
"Describe her. Maybe I've seen her in the halls" Rose replied.
"She's really tiny. Her hair is really short and black. So are her eyes. She's also pretty skinny" I said, trying to omit the fact that she was the most beautiful girl on Earth.
"Sounds familiar. How did you meet, anyway?" I put my face in my hands.
"Rosalie! What is this, the Spanish Inquisition?" I growled.
"Well, yeah!" She hissed. OK, that was unexpected. "And don't talk to me like that! I'm your sister, for Christ's sake! I'm supposed to know everything about you! I can't believe you're making me drag every word out of you like this."
"Alright. Alice was trying to reach a book on wolves, but it was too high" I chuckled as I remembered how little Alice had jumped and strained to get what she wanted. This girl was obviously pretty stubborn.
"Oh my God" Rosalie breathed, her whole face glowing. "I know that look. You like her!"
"Rose! I barely know the girl!" I protested.
"You said the same thing about Vera and you asked her whether she would go out with you the next day!"
"This is different" I said. Rose snorted and rolled her eyes.
"You mark my words, Jasper Hale. You'll end up getting together with that Alice girl before this month is over" She said.
"Oh, so now you're psychic" I dead-panned.
"I'll bet twenty dollars on my prediction" Rose drawled "You won't be able to resist her"
Uh, yeah, I will. I'm not Mom...
"You know what, Rosie? You're on!"
She's on!
Who caught the hint?
