I'm being a good girl, aint i? Haha! Anyway, just like Chapter 3, pardon the errors as this hasn't been edited yet. I will post up the edited one when its done. =] I just wanna post this up, fast!

Thanks a bunch to whoever who read/reviewed/alerted/favorited (though there's no such word i think). You receive a jar of Emmett gummie bears! Do you like it? Or do you prefer honey? As in the honey that reminds us of Jasper's honey blonde hair?

Anyway, here's Chapter 4. In this chapter, the italic parts are the flashback. Enjoy!

It was a weekend when we were enjoying ourselves in the heated swimming pool at the backyard. During the second day of school, I apologized to Jasper when he woke up.

"Jazzy, I erm… I'm sorry for the way I acted just now. The students here were getting on my nerve. Besides, during Biology, Edward's eyes turned darker when I sat next to him." I wanted to continue but he placed his finger over my mouth.

"It's alright, Bells. You just escaped from being attacked by Edward and there I was, insisting that you must eat. I should've realized how frustrated you were." He said. Little did he know the real reason behind the whole argument.

So that was how our lives went back to normal. Throughout the whole week, I was having lots of fun in school despite having those girls flirting with Jasper. Know why?

The reason was that Alice and Edward didn't come to school. I guessed Edward was afraid that he would lose control and attack me during class. So together with Alice, his mate (according to Julianna, they're couples), they left the town.

Actually, I was a little disappointed that Edward and I couldn't make friends. Yes, I admit he's quite gorgeous, but I never liked him in that sense. I just thought he would make a good listener, seeing how he always had to endure listening to other's thoughts.

However, overall, their absence made me feel comfortable. Alice wasn't in Jasper's History class (Yes, they had the same class after lunch, and that was why Jasper was smiling to himself, much to my displeasure), Alice wasn't in school, Alice wasn't in town…

This was the main reason why I was ecstatic throughout the whole week. How I wished Edward really couldn't face me (his so called prey), without attempting to murder me. Then, their whole family would need to move to another town. Joy!

And without Alice, Jasper would pay full attention to me. Oh dear, I sounded like… like a… desperate woman.

I shook off my last thought and continued swimming. Out of sudden, a hand grabbed my feet and pulled me deeper into the pool. Instead of kicking around to free my feet from the person's grasp, the idiot side of me chose to shriek.

Need I say what happened next? I gulped in the pool water and blacked out for the second time of the week. If only I got papa to change me back into a vampire…

The person who pulled my feet quickly released it and got me out of the pool.

What I remembered next was that I choked out some water. I opened my eyes and readjusted my vision. Then I saw the culprit. Ian Collin.

Jasper barged out from the kitchen and came near me. "Bells, are you feeling alright? Are you dizzy? Damn it, I shouldn't have left to grab some food."

I smiled and assured him, "I'm fine Jazzy."

He hugged me tightly, taking me by surprise. Then he turned around and growled at Ian. "Ian Collin! For the second time of the week, you're fooling around when Anthony's power is still working on Bella. You're given the heightened scent for a reason, to smell humans' AND animals' blood."

I quickly grabbed him by his waist before he pounced at Ian. "Jazzy, darling, calm down! You're still a human too, remember?"

"But… He…"

"Its alright, punch him when papa removes his power from you."

Jasper turned around and beamed at me.

"Belly! How could you do that to your brother?" Ian looked at me pleadingly.

"How could you forget your sister is still a human?" I crossed my arms and stared at him.

He looked away from me and shouted, "Juls! They're ganging up on me! I'm being bullied!"

I could hear Julianna's giggles before she came to view. "Oh really? Who was the one who almost made Bella drown? Apologize now!"

Ian pouted, "Sorry, Belly-poo."

I shook my head, disappointed. Jasper cleared his throat, "Ian, its not sincere enough."

Ian came near me and looked into my eyes, "Isabella Marie Collin, I'm sorry. I apologize for my ruthless act just now, which almost caused your death."

He then turned and glared at Jasper, "Is this sincere enough?"

All of us laughed in hysterics, except for Ian. Julianna giggled, "Oh my God! We've never seen this side of Ian Collin, have we?"

We all nodded while Ian huffed. "I'm not talking to you guys anymore."

I stopped laughing and went over to Ian, who was now crouching at the side of the pool, "Oh come on, darling brother! You can't take a joke?"

He stuck a tongue out and turned away from me. "Very well then. We're gonna finish all the cookies and cakes without you."

I walked towards the beach table we purchased and sat down. We slowly took our time to eat the cookies and waited for Ian's reaction.

Julianna mouthed, 'Five minutes." Jasper shook his head and mouthed, 'Three minutes.' I sighed and mouthed, 'One minute and thirty seconds.'

Just like what I predicted, thirty seconds later, Ian ran off into the house. Another minute later, he appeared at the table, in human form, and grabbed the jar of cookies. "Dear cookies, don't you miss daddy?"

I put out both my hands on the table, one in front of Julianna while the other in front of Jasper, "One minute and thirty seconds in exact, so I won! Pay up, now!"

They rolled their eyes and smacked my hand. "Ouch! You lost! You're supposed to pay, not hit me!"

I rubbed my palms, feigning pain. "Look! There's splinter!" I cried out loud.

Julianna, being the one who always knew when I lied, rolled her eyes. On the other hand, Jasper came over me and examined the "bruised" hand.

He blew on my palm, "Where's the splinter? Does it still hurt?"

I looked at him, "Er, Jazzy? I was just joking."

He glared at me, "Ha-ha!" Then he gave me his infamous mischievous grin again.

I shouted and ran away, "Ian! I will forgive you if you stop him from tickling me!"

Ian saluted me, "Yes, Madam!" Then he tackled Jasper on the ground. They continued wrestling, forgetting that they were in their human forms, while Julianna and I tip-toed and grabbed the hoses.

"It's shower time!" we announced and sprayed the water towards the guys. The look of surprise on their face quickly recovered to another look. Julianna whispered, "I hate that look! Run!"

I giggled and dropped the hose. Of course, I just had to fall when I was running behind Julianna. I waited for the impact but a pair of familiar strong arms caught me. He whispered into my ears, "Caught you!"

He steadied me on my own feet but still kept his arms around my waist. "Bells, Bells! What am I gonna do to you, seeing how you left me wet in this cold weather?"

I looked up at him and smirked. "Maybe you can just tell me how much you love me." I couldn't believe I just suggested that.

Standing there, not even moving an inch, Jasper seemed startled by my suggestion. Damn, I went overboard and now I was putting my friendship at risk.

I waved my hands in front of him, trying to get his attention. "Jazzy? Jazzy? Hello?"

He blinked once, twice. "Oh! Sorry. Erm…" He was blushing, what a wonderful shade of pink. Ugh, come on, its just a blush, what's so fascinating about it. Yup.

I shook my head and sighed, "Jazzy, I was just joking. You really don't know me that well, do you?"

He laughed nervously, "Yeah, I guess so."

We continued gazing into each other's eyes before someone shouted on the top of her lungs, "What on earth do you think you're doing in my pool?"

Our gaze diverted from the source of the scream, Esme, to the swimming pool. Jasper gave out wolf whistle when we saw two almost naked couple, making out in the pool.

Esme shook her head disapprovingly, "Ian! Julianna! Both of you are going to clean the pool. Oh, in human speed!"

They groaned. Jasper and I quickly grabbed our stuffs and ran into the house before they tricked us into helping them in their punishment.

The next day

I was walking hand in hand with Jasper towards the cafeteria but stopped dead on track when we met two people in the hallway. I could hear Jasper muttering under his breath, "Alice."

I looked at him, sure enough, it was the same look of adoration he had during the first day of school. I felt as though something pierced my heart. It hurt…

Knowing very well that my face showed most of my emotions, I quickly composed it. Fighting the urge to roll my eyes, I trailed behind an overly excited Jasper who went over to greet the two vampires.

Jasper's face reddened. How could he turn into tomato-red for her, but just a slight pink for me? Ugh… "Hi, Alice!" he shook her hand.

Alice beamed at Jasper, "Hi, Jasper! This is Edward, my brother. Edward, Jasper." How sad it is to tell everyone your mate is your brother. Edward gave a slight nod at Jasper before turning and stared at me. How weird.

Alice then looked at our intertwined hands and gasped, "Oh, she's your?"

Jasper and I said at the same time, but what came out of our mouths were different words. I said, "Girlfriend." while he said, much to my surprise, "Best friend."

I scowled at him and stormed off into the cafeteria, with Edward trailing behind. I stopped and turned around at him, clearly not in a good mood, "What do you want?"

Edward looked taken back but he put out his hand, "Bella, right? I'm Edward. I'm afraid I never introduce myself properly the other day during Biology, but I was having some family problems that day, so I wasn't in the good mood." Family problems my butt.

I smiled back, not wanting to scare this gentleman off, "Oh, its nothing, really."

"So, do you mind if I join you?"

I grabbed my tray and looked over at my table, "No, of course not. Go ahead."

He grabbed his tray of food and gave me a beautiful crooked smile. I was a little surprised that so called dazzling smile didn't affect me in the least. Things would be much easier if I were to fall in love with Edward Cullen than Jasper Whitlock. Oh no… I shook my head and reassured myself, I don't even like Jasper in that way.

Edward looked at me in amusement and I just shrugged. I introduced him to my family, Angela and Ben. At first I wanted to eat, but all my appetite lost when Jasper returned to the table with Alice.

"Guys, this is Alice. Alice, this is Angela, Ben…" Blablabla, I tuned out every single sound in the cafeteria and concentrated on the apple, which I was finding quite interesting. I occupied my mind with thoughts of apples, the forbidden fruit and all.

The loud ringing of the bell broke me from my train of thoughts. Once again, I threw my untouched tray of food into the garbage bin before heading towards Biology class.

Settling down, I figured as though I was missing something. My eyebrows furrowed and then I remembered, Edward. Where the hell he was?

My question was answered when the teacher entered the class and announced that we would be doing blood typing. No wonder Edward ditched the class. Wait, blood typing? Did he mention that?

I couldn't smell blood, if not I would faint! How ironic, isn't it? A vampire, the creature who survived on blood, would faint by the sight or scent of human blood.

Oh please, I had to get out of the class as soon as possible. I raised my hand but it was all too late. Someone had cut his or her finger and the scent of blood filled the room.

My vision was blur and my surrounding was spinning in circles. I landed on the floor with a loud thump and soon, I was drowned into darkness again. (Yes I know, she fainted again. But imagine, if you never had lunch, and now you smelt the blood, would you faint? If I were to be Bella, I think I would. But anyhow, its just a fanfic, so yeah)

I woke up on my bed, with my best friend looking at me, a breathtaking smile plastered on his face, "Great, you're awake!"

I giggled, "Yes I am."

His face turned into one of seriousness, "Isabella Marie Collin. Why didn't you take your lunch again?"

I looked at him sheepishly, no way was I going to give him the truth, "Erm… I didn't feel like eating?"

He said sternly, like a father talking to his daughter, "No, I don't believe you. You're lying. Come on, speak the truth."

Well, if he wanted the truth, his wish would be granted. I crossed my arms, "Fine! The reason was that some people broke their promise and told the others that we're best friends, instead of being couples."

"But- I was just telling the truth."

"Truth? Didn't we say that we were not allowed to tell anyone our fake relationship in order to keep the students away from us?"

"Actually, Bells. There's something I want to tell you." he frowned a little.

"If it's anything to do with it, go ahead, spill it."

"ItoldAlicethetruthbecauseithinkilikeher." He muttered so fast that I thought I heard wrongly. Did he just say he liked her?

I took in a deep breath, "What did you say?"

He sighed, "I think I'm having a little interest on Alice."

That was it. For a moment I thought I couldn't breath. It was like a knife stabbing through my heart. But it couldn't be. I couldn't be hurt because he finally found a woman he's fond of. He's my best friend for heaven's sake.

I smiled, "Well, then, good for you."

He looked into my eyes, as if looking for some answer. But I figured his attempt failed because he looked down on the carpet with a look of disappointment. I didn't care how he felt or anything. What I knew was that I needed him to get away from me. I didn't know how long could I handle being in the same room as him without being caught crying.

He asked, "Are you sure you're okay with it?"

I ruffled his hair and acted as though I was ecstatic, "Of course I am. My best friend finally found someone he loves after almost two century." He corrected, "Likes, not loves."

"Yeah, whatever. I'm glad, really!" I smiled. "Anyway, I need to rest now, can you leave the room, please?"

He looked confused and I didn't know why. Then I realized, I never asked him to leave my room before. He looked as though he as about to say something but he turned around and left, closing the door behind him.

The tears I had been holding up started to trickle down my cheeks. Maybe I was starting to fall in love with Jasper, even though I hated to admit it.

Don't you hate me now? Please don't. -pouts- Cause i finished typing this at 2-ish in the morning, way past my usual bedtime. Wait, maybe not way past, just later than usual. Uh huh...

Once again, review please! I NEVER mind criticisms, harsh ones too are alright. Cause they'll help me in improving my writing. =] Seriously, i love reviews as much as er... how people love money? Yup.

Love,
