MIMICRY - Jasper Whitlock

06 - La Push, baby. It's La Push

Valia's POV

When Bella had told me, rather shouted, that Edward had told her they should be friends I wasn't surprised at all. My sister was bashing him while I was just I thinking why was his mood  like a child in a swing. Also the excuse of the adrenaline rush smelled like crap from here but I won't ever admit it since Bella was already more invested than neccesary. Next day went by quickly and soon it was time for lunch. I waved to the pixie-cut and the blond twins and Bella and I eaggerly sitted down after an strenuous PE class.

"Hey La Push, babies. You in?" asked Eric.

"Did you forget how to talk for a second Eric" I grinned at him.

"La Push Beach down at the Quileute rez. We're all going tomorrow" Mike added.

"Yeah, there is a big swell coming in" said Jessica.

"And I don't just surf the Internet" said Eric as Taylor and Mike made fun of him.

"Eric, you once stood up once and it was a foam board" Jessica said.

"But there's whale watching too" said Angela. Bella looked noticeably more excited about that part.

"La Push baby. It's La Push" kept implying Eric

"Okay, we'll go of you stop saying that okay?" said Bella making everyone laugh "do I grab you something?"

"Bring two of whatever you get" I replied. Not a minute had gone by when I glace over my shoulder to see Edward talking to her next to the salad station. From the corner of my vision I could see Rosalie sending imaginary daggers in their direction, whether it was to his brother or to my sister was still be determined, which made me think did she knew something we didn't? I dissmissed my thought and went back to the conversation on the table.

"So are the rummors true?"

"What are you talking about Jess?" I responded back.

"People said you were snuggling with Jasper Hale in the bus yesterday"

"It wasn't like that. People really like gossiping, don't they?" I responded as I stole her apple and bit into it.

"So you are not denying it. He is cute you guys would make a good couple"

"Jess don't push it" she placed her hands in the air surrendering. Bella came back with our food and another mood swings of our dear Eddie.

"He said like 'I never said we couldn't be friends I said it would not be a smart idea'" she whispered.

"And they say we are complicated" I huffed.

The following day after school, we drove down to La Push, the guys Jess and I changed into our suits while Angela and Bella downed themselves in blankets and coats.  

"So, I keep thinking that Eric's gonna ask me to the prom, and then he just doesn't" said Angela lowly.

 "You should ask him" said Bella. "Take control. You're a strong, independent woman" 

"I am?" asked Angela. 

"How is that even a question, you got it Angel" I said. 

Out of the blue, Jacob and 2 of his friends came to us. 

"Swans, guys" he said. 

"Hi, Jacob" said Bella. "Guys, this is Jacob" 

"Hey, how are you doing?" said Jacob and sat down next to Bella. 

"What are you, like, stalking me?" said Bella. 

"You're on my rez, remember? Are you surfing?" he asked.
