Chapter Two:

APOV

I was so embarrassed. Had I been too forward? I hadn't thought so. After all he was teasing me after the initial act of mortification. So, why did he run off when I looked at him? And what was that look of panic in his eyes? The only thing I did know was that his reaction was extremely—

"Weird..."

"You took the word right out of my head."

"Forget about him. I'm sure it was nothing. Did you already order?"

"Bella, I think we only have time for a coffee and apple danish to-go."

"Did I mention that I am sorry that I was late?"

As we walked into the school, I could feel the excitement and electricity in the air. It was different than the usual mindless chatter from what we called our 'peers'. This was the only kind of chit chat that came with a new student. I was hoping that I was wrong, but I had a pretty good idea who the new student was. And what with this being that small ass school it was, I had a good feeling I would be forced to interact with the new student in some way, shape, or form.

Dear God, I think that I have been a pretty good person considering everything that happened with her...them...before...please, I am begging you, don't put into this awkward situation if he actually is the new student. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

But I knew that my hopes and prayers were futile as I took one glance through the office window to see none other than that perfect blond man from the diner. Jasper. And he wasn't alone. What I could only assume to be a sister and a mother were standing on either side of him. It almost looked like they were guarding him, which I thought was humorous considering that he towered over both.

Then everything seemed to slow down. Just as I was about to look away, he turned. When he looked into my eyes, everything and anything stopped. I didn't hear the mindless chatter anymore. I didn't see the school hallway. I didn't even notice that my best friend was trying to work up the nerve to finally tell me that she was officially off the market. All I saw was Jasper.

You're a no good piece of trash, and if I had my way, you would have been drowned the day you were born, you ungrateful, ugly child.

But of course something had to bring me back to reality. I looked away and ran down the hallway to my locker as quickly as I could. I could feel the prickling in my eyes. I didn't understand it. All I knew was that reality and that no good bitch were right. So I suppose I shouldn't have been too surprised when the boy ran out of the diner. I could rationalize it as a completely, well, rational reaction.

I saw her run away. I didn't like it. Though who was I to talk? I had run out on her less than a half hour before. I felt terrible for it. It wasn't her fault that the past still haunt me. She wasn't even a part of the past. Before I knew what I was doing, I was excusing myself and running down the hallway towards her. There were a lot of people in the hall, granted still not as many as Texas, but still a lot. And they were in my way. Just when I thought I had lost sight of the girl when I looked to the stairway at my left and saw her heading up. I quickly followed.

My God, you're like a puppy! Grow a spine and a life you no good history freak!

Good God, the past was determined to be dug up today.

The girl, Alice, finally stopped at a locker. I guessed that it was hers, but then she seemed to have the hardest time trying to open it. You would think that it would be fairly easy to open your own locker. But I supposed that what was her misfortune would be my gain. The stubborn hunk of thirty year old metal had just given me an in.

You would think that it would be fairly easy to open your own locker. Newsflash: IT'S NOT! At least not mine. Caitlyn Bevol's, whose locker was right next to mine on the other hand...

"Anything that I could help with?"

"AHHH! Holy shit! Stop doing that to me! You have snuck up on me twice this morning already, and it isn't even eight o'clock yet."

"Well, darlin', I have to say that that is the longest I have heard you talk, yet!"

"When I am motivated properly I am able to go on for a good long while, for your information."

"Duely noted. Now, do you want some help with that or not?"

"I could use some help..."

Before I could say another word, he stepped around me and proceeded to ask me for the combination to the lock, which I speedily gave him.

He opened it with one try.

Showoff.

"Well, that should do it."

"Thank you very much."

I turned to my locker to get my books. He was still standing behind me.

"Is there something I can help you with?"

"I was just wondering if you had English Lit first..."

"Yes. With Berty. Why?"

"No reason. I'll be sure to save you a seat though, Alice."

With that he turned on his heel and left.

Well, at least it wasn't awkward.

So, what did you think?
