As soon as my sprained wrist had started to heal, I was allowed out of hospital on crutches. Oh my goodness.
"How do these stupid things work?" I growl, punching the floor with them. I try to support my weight on them and end up on the floor. Just as the bell rings for the next lesson. Pupils flood the corridors, taking no notice of the girl with the broken leg. ON THE FLOOR.
"Oh! No! Please, be caref-" Someone trips over my plastered leg. "Owwwh! -I'm sorry, broken leg here!" The un-named boy, who I think could be Eric glares at me. At me! With the broken leg. "Thanks for the help!" I yell sarcastically after him.
I hear musical laughter behind me. I turn so quickly my neck clicks to become face to face with Jasper Hale. Crouching down behind me. I start hyperventilating.
"Would you like some help, miss?" He laughs in a Southern drawl.
"I-Uh-" I remember my pact to not become a drooling fan-girl in front of them. "Sure." I smile easily.
He offers his hand as I try to slow my crazed breathing. I try to take it without doing something stupid and he pulls me to my hobbling foot and hands me my crutches.
"Thanks" I say.
"Don't mention it." He laughs. "Where's you're next lesson?"
"Just down here, why?" I ask suspiciously.
"Well I couldn't leave you to manage on your own now, could I?" And that's it. My heart has officially melted.
Wait. This can't be happening. It's Bella and Edward. Not Bella and Jasper. No. No, no, no! This is wrong! Okay, so what do I do?
I talk about Alice! There we go! We can't change any major story lines while he's talking about his wife, right?
"So, how's Alice?" I ask, trying to sound careless.
"How do you know her name?" His body tenses up. "You haven't been here long enough to know her. Unless you've talked to Jessica."
"Uh -" My heart starts pounding again. "Yeah, Jessica. We've been talking. About Alice. And you. And uh- everyone?" I blabber nervously until I realize we've reached the door to my class.
"A word of advise, choose your friends wisely, Jessica can become a bit... Well I'll let you figure her out." He lifts his hand and walks away in the opposite direction we just came.
"Thank you!" I call after him.
This is weird. When in Twilight do Bella and Jasper become so close? I thought I was meant to have irresistible blood. Hmmm... Maybe that's why I haven't seen Edward yet.
As I hobble into my Calculus class I hear my name being screeched by what appears to be a pixie. Oh no, its Alice. That figures.
"Bella! Bella! Sit here! Sit next to me! Over here! Bella!" She sings.
"Okay okay, I'm coming!" I say quietly, but I know she'll hear.
As I settle down next to my new-found friend, she starts talking a million words per second. I manage to pick up a few words like "Made him help you," "Did you have a nice talk" "Did you talk about me?" "Can't believe Eric did that and didn't even say sorry" "Jasper er texted me telling me that Eric did that" "So rude!" She then suddenly stopped and looked at me expectantly.
"Er what?"
I'm vaguely aware of her repeating her speech, but my mind starts to wonder to why I'm here, and when, if ever, will I go back? What if I don't want to? What's happened to the real me? But that's when I realize. This could be my second chance at life, and I'm sure as hell not gonna waste it...
