AN : Hey! I forgot to thank those who alerted, favorite, reviewed, read the last two chapters. Thanks heap people! Here goes Chapter 3... Tell me if it isn't alright, cause i was rushing to post this chapter up. I would be away during the weekend, so yeah.

This is the edited one. So yeah. =] I'll try my best to update another chapter before the weekend, cause next week i might be busy.

Thanks to those who reviewed, and to those who didn't, do review! I love to know what's in your mind.

I stood in front of the full length mirror with a look of horror. I've learned my lesson. Never backstab Julianna, or else she would come to you with her torture tools, namely, makeup, tight-fitting, V-neck shirts and high heels.

Jasper knocked on my bedroom door, "Bells! Juls! What's taking you both so long?"

Julianna rolled her eyes, "Jasper, blame it all on her! She's been gaping at the mirror for" she checked her watch before she continued, "for ten freaking minutes."

He then opened the door without asking. I shouted, "Jazzy! Close your eyes. I feel so… I mean look at me! I look like a doll!"

He chuckled, "So am I supposed to close my eyes or look at you?"

Ugh, great. I was contradicting my own sentence. "Fine, see?" I turned back and faced him with my head held low.

I felt him slowly approaching me and tilted my head with his index finger. His face just inches away from me. "Dear, you don't look like a doll. You look… You look way more beautiful."

I stepped back and crossed my arm, "Jasper Whitlock. Does this mean I don't look pretty without my makeup on? What a boyfriend you are." Obviously he wasn't my boyfriend, but we usually act as couples in front of the humans.

He gulped and rubbed the back of his neck.

I exchanged glances with Julianna and we both burst out in laughter. Julianna was the first who stopped laughing, "Jasper, has a cat got your tongue?"

"No?" he looked at me with pleading eyes. "Bells, you're the most beautiful lady in the whole wide universe. It's just that with the makeup you look even more gorgeous, attractive, good-looking." This got me laughing even harder. I didn't know he thought I was mad for real.

She sighed, "What an empath you are! Can't you see Bella was just teasing you?"

I saw Jasper muttered something under his breath and giggled. "What did you say?" Julianna asked.

"Oh I said, of course I know, Juls. I was just playing along."

Both of us replied, "Yeah right."

I winked at Jasper, "Ah Jazzy! You flatter me! Do you mean what you said just now?"

Jasper blushed and stuttered, "Er…" He then took a glance at his watch, obviously trying to steer away from the topic, "Oh we're gonna be late if we don't get going."

I stuck my tongue out at Jasper, "We're not done with this conversation."

Then I took my backpack and slid into the backseat of the Julianna's white BMW M3 Sedan with Jasper. Ian attempted to sneak into the driver's seat but Julianna caught him. "Darling, you'll not be driving my baby, not after you ruined that Mercedes of yours."

"But… But…" Ian looked at Julianna with his puppy eyes.

"No buts. Get to the passenger seat before I dump those posters collection of yours."

Jasper and I had to bit our lips to stop ourselves from laughing while Ian pouted during the whole ride to Forks High School. Watching this couple's little arguments would never bore our lives, especially in our case, an eternity.

I could see the stares of the students from the black tinted windows. At first I was a little confused, I mean, its just a car? Not like it's the car of some celebrities?

When I got down the car and looked around me, only I realized. There weren't many expensive cars in this small little town, only a silver Volvo and a yellow Porsche 911 Turbo.

Ian whispered to us, "Aren't these people a little weird? They are watching us like we're pieces meat to eat when it's supposed to be the other way round." which earned a smack across the head from Julianna and I.

He rubbed his head, "Ouch! What was that for? I was merely stating the truth."

I scanned the parking lot while heading towards the office. True enough, the girls were drooling over Jasper and Ian; the boys, sigh…

I was following Ian and Julianna, who had already entered the office. Out of a sudden, Jasper stopped and turned me to face him. I was about to ask him what was wrong when he pressed his soft lips against mine.

I had no idea why but I let him take control and wrapped my fingers around his neck. A part of me wanted to protest. But, heck, this was the first time he kissed me, and it felt so… amazing! No! This wasn't right, we overstepped the "fake couple" relationship.

I pushed him away and gasped for air. He took in a deep breath, "Oh my god! I'm sorry! I'm so, so sorry Bells! I didn't know what overtook me. The lust they were giving off-"

I cut him off and whispered, "No need to apologize. Didn't I tell you my sixth sense told me that the students here are worse than the ones we had encountered? I think that kiss would tell them we belong to each other."

Julianna appeared and gave us our schedule and map. Ian teased, "We thought you were following us in the building, but when we turned around, guess what we saw? A couple kissing so passionately under the rain." He hit Jasper's arm lightly with his fist, "Good one, dude!"

Jasper elbowed him and Julianna smacked him on his forearms lightly, "Darling, there wasn't any rain."

Then we headed off to our classes. Jasper and I had almost every class together, except for the period after lunch. He would be having History, the one subject he loved very much, while I would be having Biology.

The first few lessons were okay. What did I mean by okay? Well, okay in the sense that no girls came over and flirted with Jasper.

However, it all changed during the last lesson before lunch. The girls flirted with Jasper and shoved him their phone numbers, despite seeing our intertwined hands. And did I mention, both of us had the same silver band on our middle fingers. Can't they just assume that we're engaged or something?

Then, a blonde hair guy came up to my table, "Hi, you must be the new girl. I'm Mike Newton." I shook his hand, "Isabella Collin. But Bella will do."

He looked familiar. Newton, Newton. I heard that name before. Ah! I remembered, a few decades ago I met a kind-hearted traveler by the name of Newton. This must be his grandson.

I continued talking to him until the teacher came in.

Jasper leaned closer to me and whispered, "Weren't you having a good time with the Newton kid?"

I replied, but still looking at the teacher, acting as if I was concentrating, "Hmm? He's a good kid. Very friendly. Oh and his grandfather is the kind Newton we met years ago. Anyway, it's not as enjoyable as your conversation with those pretty girls."

He coughed to cover up his laugh. "You think I enjoyed them?" I nodded my head. "Then you don't know me well, love." He sighed and shook his head, feigning disappointment.

When the bell rang, I looked at him and smirked. "I know you even better than you know yourself." I didn't even know why I said that but I think its quite true though. Most of the time, I was the one who ordered his meal, the one who constantly reminded him of what he was allergic to. (Even he himself didn't know.)

He gazed into my eyes and then gave me a peck on my cheek. "And that's what made you my best friend, my love."

I laughed and playfully smacked his back. Halfway to the cafeteria, we met up with Ian and Julianna. I sniffed in the air before entering the cafeteria and gasped.

I mouthed, 'We've got a company.' Then I took in a deep breath again, 'Be careful, there's a mind reader.' Now you must be confused why I could tell there's a mind reader in the cafeteria.

Just like Anthony and Jasper, I've got special abilities too. Thus far, I've found out that I've got a shield, which could protect myself from physical and mental attacks from other vampires. I can choose to be immune to certain powers, and also detect the vampire's special ability when I sniff in his or her scent.

On the other hand, Ian could produce fire (which was how he destroyed my music books) while Julianna could listen people's thoughts and project thoughts to others.

Thanks to Julianna, my family got to practice how to block out their thoughts. I'm pretty sure none of us loved people invading their private thoughts.

Then, we headed into the cafeteria. After taking our trays of food, we went over to the only table with two people sitting there. Julianna greeted them, "Hi. I'm Julianna Whitlock. This is my boyfriend, Ian Collin, his twin sister, Isabella Collin, and my twin brother, Jasper Whitlock, who's also Bella's boyfriend. Do you mind if we sit here?"

The bespectacled girl replied, "Oh hi. Angela Weber and this is my boyfriend, Ben Cheney. We don't mind."

We said in unison, "Thanks." Looking at each other, we laughed and sat down.

While looking around the cafeteria, my eyes laid upon a table of four. There were two girls and two boys. One of the girls was blonde and drop dead gorgeous, even for a vampire, while the other petite girl had dark spiky hair.

The guy who was placing his arms around the blonde girl had slightly curly dark hair and was very muscular. He must be the tough one when it comes to fighting. Then, the one who sort of caught my attention was the guy with bronze hair.

I asked Angela so to make sure they wouldn't get suspicious, "Who are they?"

Julianna's voice appeared in my mind, "Duh! They're vampires."

Angela leaned closer and said, "They're the Cullens. The blonde is Rosalie Hale, and then there's her boyfriend, the huge guy, Emmett Cullen. The pixie-like girl is Alice Cullen and her twin brother is the bronze hair guy, Edward Cullen. Emmett, Alice and Edward are twins, but sometimes, the way Alice and Edward hang out together, they don't seem like brothers and sisters."

Julianna's voice appeared in my mind yet again, "Of course, they're couples. Poor Alice. Dr. Cullen made her a wrong ID, so now she needs to act as Edward's sister. Oh my God! She's thinking about where to shop. Hmm… What a good taste she has. I like her!"

I ignored Julianna and continued to ask, "They're siblings?"

"Yeah. They're all adopted by Dr. Carlisle Cullen and his wife, Esme Cullen. Emmett, Alice and Edward are siblings. Their parents died when they were young, so Esme, their aunt, adopted them. Rosalie is the daughter of Carlisle's best friend, who passed away when she was really young."

I nodded my head and looked at Edward Cullen once again. He spotted me and gave me a crooked smile which made my heart beat accelerate. I blushed and returned the smile.

From the corner of my eyes, I thought I saw Jasper looking at Edward with a jealous look. Or maybe I was just imagining it. Because when I turned around and looked at him, he was looking at someone with a look of adoration.

Being curious, I looked at who he was gazing at. Alice Cullen, the pixie.

I didn't know why but it was as though my blood was boiling, and I became furious instantly. I took my fork and poked at my food with much force. I was pretty sure the fork would bend soon.

Ian sneered, "Wow… Little sister, the food is your enemy now?"

I faked a smile and rolled my eyes. Idiot! I looked at Jasper again from the corner of my eyes. He was still looking at Alice, oblivious to the changes in my mood.

Ugh! Fine, since he couldn't sense my mood change, I might as well put a shield against his power. (Then he couldn't feel my emotions) When that happened, he turned at looked at me, confused. Serve him right!

I glared at him and stood up. Right on time, the bell rang. I threw my untouched food into the garbage bin and headed to my next class, with no Jasper Whitlock, the honey blonde dude in it.

I went into the Biology lab and let the teacher sign the slip before going to the only seat left, next to the gorgeous vampire.

I sat down and thought maybe my day wasn't that bad after all. I could make friends with Edward Cullen. Hah. Scratch that. When I peered at him from the corner of my eyes, I could see his eyes turning darker, his fists and jaw clenched tightly. Oh dear God! He's thirsty.

Should I put a shield to cover up my scent? No, it would make him suspicious. Should I excuse myself from the class? No, I'm bad at acting sick. I told myself he wouldn't attack me for the sake of his family, his coven.

Then my mind drifted to what happened during lunch. I realized, the feelings I felt during lunch was jealousy, something I've never felt before in ages. This was not good, how could I feel jealous when my best friend was just looking at a pretty vampire with a look of adoration and amusement.

I reasoned out with myself. Maybe I was just being paranoid. I let myself think that I was just afraid that Jasper might abandon me when he finds his other half.

I reminded myself, "You only love Jasper as a best friend, not a lover."

I was too busy dwelling in my thoughts that I didn't know everyone left the class. The teacher cleared his throat, "Erm, Isabella, you may proceed to your next class now."

I quickly grabbed my stuff and thanked the teacher. When I got out, I saw Jasper leaning against the wall. Seeing him smiling by himself made my body heat increase again. Oh no, lunch time all over again. "Well, first day of school and you've already gotten yourself a detention?"

I rolled my eyes and replied a simple "No."

"Then?"

"I spaced out, okay?"

"That's what you get when you don't eat your lunch." He then pulled out a granola bar. "Eat it now while walking."

I huffed, "No, I'm not hungry."

"Yes you are. Your stomach is grumbling already."

"I said no!" I stopped and glared at him.

"What's wrong with you! You don't allow me to feel your emotions and now you're refusing to eat when your stomach is begging for food. Now eat!" he shoved the granola bar into my hand.

"What's wrong with me?" I shouted. "What's wrong with you! I will eat when I want to. Its my own body, I can do whatever I want with it. You can't control me. Besides, what's not eating lunch got anything to do with you?"

"Fine, if you faint, don't blame it on me."

I wanted to argue back but I felt as though my energy was draining away. True enough, everything around me blacked out.

After hours of sleeping, I woke up and I could feel some pressure acting on my right hand. My eyes fluttered open and I looked at my side. Someone was holding my right hand.

When my vision became clearer, I gasped. Jasper was sleeping with his head buried on my arms and his hand holding mine.

I smiled, fainting wasn't that bad after all. A question formed in my head, "Am I in love with Jasper Whitlock?"

I smacked my forehead with my other free hand. Bella, you're just being ridiculous!

So, review please! They make my day! Tell me what you think of the story thus far, bad or not. I won't mind constructive criticisms!

Love,
