Hello, everyone! Sorry it took me so long to update. I was finishing some of the other chapters. Tell me if this one turns out okay! Enjoy!
Chapter 4: Reactions
As I flung my bag into my truck, which my dad so willingly provided me with, my thoughts lingered back to the Cullens, Jasper Cullen, to be precise. His essence was just so alluring. It was almost unbelievable.
I must've managed to snap out of my daze at some point because, before I knew it, I was positioned in the meager parking lot of Forks High school. I felt a sudden pang of nausea creep over me as the distance between me and the door grew smaller. Although I was intimidated by them, I had an urge to find out more about him and his angelic family.
For the next hour and a half, I didn't comprehend a single word that Mr. Banner stated in his lecture. I was startled when the bell rang, signaling the end of class. He was leaving the room and I hadn't talked to him once! I hadn't discovered anything. My thoughts rushed through my head and became uncontrollable. I couldn't pick apart what was said subconsciously or out loud. Why was I so drawn to him?
"Wait, Jasper!" I blurted out. What was I thinking? Did I say that out loud? I didn't expect him to turn around. In an instant, he swiveled around and shot me an almost indescribable expression. It was as if he was in pain, or trying to refrain himself from something. He seemed to have regained his focus because his mood gradually faded and he greeted me with a small smile. "My sister told me you'd be coming."
"What?" I mumbled.
"It's nothing. My sister she's…well, different. Anyways, I apologize for my mood swings," he chuckled, "I haven't been feeling well lately. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Jasper Whitlock Cullen," he announced with a subtle bow, "You must be Isabella Swan."
"Yep, that would be me," I said under my breath, shocked at the fact that we were completely alone in the room, apart from the sound of Mr. Banner's clock.
"I've heard a lot about you. I hope everyone is making you feel welcome. Well, I needn't keep you from your upcoming class. Perhaps we could meet elsewhere after school so that we may become better acquainted. Say, the east side of the building?"
"Uh…s-sure," I stuttered.
"It was nice meeting you," he winked, swiftly waltzing out of the doorway, leaving me to my thoughts.
