.:Chapter Thirteen - The Find:.
I groaned slightly as I rolled over and hit the off button on my phone's alarm. I pushed the quilt back and then stood up with a stretch, and then walked towards my wall wardrobe and slid the smooth panel door open.
I sighed as I pulled out a purple Elisa flannel shirt along with embellished winged heart t-shirt. I then turn and walk towards my set of draws, and pull out fresh underwear, along with a pair of crafted skinny panel jeans.
After getting dressed, I grab my bag and shove my books into my bag. I stop short though when I remembered the books I'd brought yesterday. I sigh as I grab the books and shove them in with the the rest. I then grabbed my cowboy harness boots as I walked towards the bed and sat down.
I forced myself to smile at Morgan as I entered the kitchen and grabbed a bright red apple from the fruit bow. I then turn as I wave and head out of the house.
I pull the zip of my coat up as high as I can as I head down the road towards Forks High.
I sighed as I sat down in my first lesson Biology. I wasn't one for this lesson, but I could sit throw it, if I could only keep my eyes and thoughts off of the male sat next to me; Jasper Hale.
I sighed as I pulled out the Civil War book I'd brought in the book store. I quickly place it in between the pages of my biology book.
I sat quietly throughout the lesson, and managed to take in the ramblings of the teacher, occasionally marking down notes, but my full attention was on the book in front of me.
I causally flipped over the page and instantly my eyes flow to the large picture in the top left corner of the 32nd page of the book. I eyed the portrait of the man, taking in the angular form of the nose, and high but soft cheek bones, those firm pout filled red lips. His features were soft but serious, bringing his face together somehow.
I stared deep into the eyes of the portrait, and instantly I knew there was no mistake, this guy was defiantly the male sat next to me.
I read through the page, marking down the facts, this guy was a Major, he was born in 1844, he went missing in 1863, he had been pronounced dead, and his name was Jasper Whitlock.
I continued to stare at the portrait for a few more minutes, before turning my eyes to look at the Jasper sat next to me. I stared intentionally at him, and even when his eyes shifted to stare back at me, I kept mine locked on his face.
I had to know if it was him, my mind would never of put it down other wise. I took a deep breath and smiled lightly as I continued to stare at him. It was now or never.
I breath in again and then say "About yesterday, I hope we can get past it,.. Mr. Whitlock!".
I watched as Jasper's eyes widened with shock. I smile politely as I stare him down, there was definitely some truth to my theory; this both scared me and enticed me.
"I don't know what you are! But I know your not 18, or what ever age you say you are!..." I tell him.
I then shove the book towards him, and say "Major!".
I watched as those golden topaz eyes scanned the page over, only for them to shoot back and stare at me. I smile sweetly, and just I time for the bell to go off. I grab the book and shove it into my bag along with everything else. I then nod as I stand up and walk off.
I walked slowly towards my next lesson, only for a hand to grab mine. I instantly froze, that was the same touch I felt the other night. I turned quickly only to find Jasper stood two feet from me. I looked up at him with a questioning look.
I watched as he slowly placed a small folded piece of paper in the hand he still held. I fought to keep the rush of colour from my neck when I felt a thousand eyes looking towards Jasper and myself. Jasper then nodded before turning and walking off. I looked down at my hand as I slowly turn and walk towards class.
I sat quietly in English, my mind swarmed with the sound of bees as I looked down at the still folded piece of paper. I swallowed my fear and slowly unravelled the paper. I sat shocked when I read the words Meet my at lunch. Please.
That was all he said, and that was all he had to say. Before I knew it my hand was curled around his and he was gently leading me towards the lunch hall exit. I took one look back at Bella to find her looking just as confused as the others.
I knew straight away my mind was set on the answer yes, but what if this was some kind of prank. I guess I'd never know until it came to it. I quickly pushed all thoughts aside and tried to focus on class, but I knew I was gonna fail.
All lesson my mind kept flipping between two images; the first was of Jasper, and then second was of Major Jasper. It just had to be him, or he'd have come up with some sort of excuse for this uncanny coincidence.
I was barley aware the alarm had gone off, it was only into I saw the other students passing me by did I realise what was going on around me. I quickly packed my things away quietly, and then headed for the lunch hall, knowing all to well that Bella would be waiting for me, and so would Jasper.
I breathed in and then slowly pushed the door open and headed straight for Bella, if Jasper wanted me, he'd just have to come and get me; fingers crossed. I smiled at Bella as I sat down next to her.
"So, how has your day been?" she asks.
"Its been ok, the usual. How about you?" I say with a small smile.
Bella goes to answer but stops when something catches her eye sight. I turn slightly in my chair, only to find Jasper stood a few feet away from us. I noticed out of the corner of my eye that the rest of the lunch hall are all looking at us.
I watched as he held his hand out towards me, that infamous sad look on his face, but with just the hint of a smile almost forming.
"Please?".
That was all he said, and that was all he had to say. Before I knew it my hand was curled around his and he was gently leading me towards the lunch hall exit. I took one look back at Bella only to find her looking just as confused as the others.
I allowed Jasper to lead me towards the forest that stood dominant behind the school. My mind was racing, I didn't like the look of this. As Jasper lead me up towards the forest, I began to freak slightly.
I tried desperately to pull away from him. But even with all my strength I couldn't shake his hold, what freaked me more was that he was hold my hand lightly.
"Please!".
"I know I was mean, and too out spoken, but please, I don't deserve what ever your planning" I practically begged him.
It was barely a whimper, but the sound made him stop suddenly his hand falling slack from mine. He turned slowly to face me, his warm eyes looked so scared.
"Trust me! Please?".
I calmed slightly when I saw the sincerity in his eyes, and that was all I needed to know. I nodded slowly and then slowly followed after him.
After about a mile or so into the forest Jasper came to a stop. He slowly turned to face me, the calm clear on his face, he seemed more at ease now, than he had a school.
"Can I see the book? The one you showed me before?".
He spoke softly, like a gentleman, and for the first time I heard the slight southern accent fall from his lips so perfectly. His hand was firmly out stretched towards me. I nodded slowly as I pulled the book from my bag, and walked towards him. I held the book out towards him. Jasper nod slightly and then turned to the page he'd seen early.
Jasper turns the book to face me and says "This isn't me".
I shake my head slightly, and then say "Its a bit late to say that, you freaked out when I called you Whitlock. There's something behind this".
"Why you? Why did it have to be you?" he whispered.
I frowned slightly when I heard this. He was so strange, I couldn't figure him out, and it annoyed me more than anything. I slowly reached for the book, and gently prised it from his hands. I shivered slightly when my fingers brushed past his. There was that feeling again,.. and his touch was so cold.
"Look, stop freaking. God, even if you are an immortal freak, I won't tell. Who would believe me?" I tell him softly.
I then shove the book into my bag and then wave slightly as I turn and begin to walk off.
"Your not gonna ask what I am?".
I laugh slightly as this as I turn back to face him. "Only if you want me too!". I then turn round and walk back to school.
