Edward followed behind Rosalie in to the dinner hall and walked towards a table full of people, this was definitely going to be different. There was Emmett, and another guy with dark hair and a tanned skin tone. He had lovely brown eyes, and, Edward noted, wasn't too shabby to look at. There were a few others but there was one guy that really caught Edward's attention. He had tanned skin, with curled blonde locks reaching just to his jaw, the most beautiful blue eyes Edward had ever seen. He was currently laughing at something Emmett said, those eyes were sparkling and full of life and he felt the air leave his body. He quickly caught up to Rosalie, he didn't want anyone to think anything was off. Emmett stood as they approached and placed a quick kiss on Rose's lips. He then clapped a hand to Edward's back, almost sending him flying.
"Everybody, this is Edward! Eddy this is everybody." Emmett said spreading his hand out towards all of the people sat at the table. Edward raised his hand in a little wave and then quickly took a seat next to Rose. The dark haired guy leaned across the tabled and shook Edward's hand.
"Hey man, I'm Jake. Emmett isn't the best when it comes to introductions." Edward laughed shaking back.
"You can say that again." Emmett stuck his bottom lip out pretending to pout. The blonde guy was looking down at his hands, not really speaking up. Jake, who was sat next to him, nudged him in the ribs. He looked up in to Edward's eyes, and he swore his breath stopped. This guy was even more beautiful up close. He had eyelashes that went on for days and his cheeks had a little tinge of pink in them.
"Hi, I'm Jasper." He said, his eyes falling to his lap again, he didn't offer his hand and neither did Edward, he was afraid he might hold on a little too tight or a little too long.
"Nice to meet you both." Edward said. After that the conversation flowed pretty easily, a few more people introduced themselves. They all seemed pretty keen to learn about Edward but luckily not in a rude intrusive kinda way. They all seemed liked pretty nice people although Jasper never once got involved in the conversation again and he seemed to be very quiet and broody. Although that could just be nerves, perhaps he was a shy kind of guy and didn't like meeting new people. When lunch was over he made his way to his next class of the day with Rosalie.
"So where my eyes deceiving me or did I see you checking out Jasper?" Rosalie smirked at Edward, clearly happy with herself for noticing. Edward swallowed and looked back at her.
"No, no.. of course not. I wouldn't be doing that on my first day here, especially not with a guy who is so clearly straight. That would just be a recipe for disaster wouldn't it?" Edward nervously laughed, not quite sure he was asking a question for a real answer or just wondering it to himself.
"Well if you ask me it definitely looked like you were checking him out. And that's not such a bad thing. You know I don't even know if Jas prefers the ladies or the men. I've never personally seen him give much interest to anyone now that I think about it." Rosalie had gone off in to a little world of her own, rambling on to herself. Although she looked genuinely puzzled. Edward couldn't hold it in and laughed out loud at her, she quickly came back to earth and joined in on the laughing.
"Okay, fair enough. I might have been checking him out. And that's only a might! Besides im not looking for any boy drama on my first week here. So perhaps a check out is just a check out." Edward said looking at Rose, she nodded in answer and let the subject drop. Although Edward couldn't help himself, he would make it a goal of his to find out just which Jasper preferred.
By the end of the school day Edward was shattered, he hadn't realised just how tiring it would be and how tense he had felt. Although he left feeling a lot lighter than he ever had at his old school. He had already made friends, which is a lot more than he had done at his last school. He got in his car, smiling to himself and set off for home. He was looking forward to hearing how Alice's first day had gone.
