Something Just a Little Different (Jasper Hale)

Same Ole Same Ole

Arri pulled into the school parking lot, taking her backpack and slinging it at the sleeping Josh who was seated in the passenger seat, making him jolt up. "Hey, get your ass up. We're here." Josh grumbled, rubbing his eyes and running his hands through shaggy black hair, grumbling at her. He sat up and stretched, straightening our his black t-shirt. Neither or them were there to impress anybody, so they dressed simply in jeans and nice-ish shirts, complete with hooded jackets.

The silver haired girl circled the parking lot, noticing all of the stares they were getting, whether it was just because they were new, or the fact that compared to the rest of the cars in the parking lot, her's might as well have been made of gold, she didn't know. She decided to park away from the rest of the cars, getting out and making sure it was locked. "So this is Forks High School?" Josh muttered, looking at the small building before him. Coming from California, their school had been huge compared to this, and it had been one of the smallest ones in the county. The elementary, junior high, and high school were all in the same place, connected by small breezeways. Arri was thankful that they weren't too far into the school year yet, or else she felt this would be so much worse.

"I guess so," Arri responded halfheartedly, not ready to be the shiny, interesting new kid to the small school. She was more of a 'sit back and watch' kind of person. Josh was the athletic one, and you could obviously tell by his muscular figure, the one was sure to be popular immediately. "Arri!" "Yo, Josh!" the two both looked up to see the kids they had met at the café standing around a van, both of the them having already forgotten their names.

"Hey guys," Josh said with a grin, walking up and doing that special 'guy hand shake', where they slapped hands and bumped shoulders. "Hey," Arri smiled, giving the slightest wave to the two girls.

"Hey hey! So you two are the new guys! I'm Eric, your come to guy. Nice to meet you. Yo, the hair, I'm digging it." A guy with slick black hair came up and greeted them enthusiastically, shaking their hands vigorously. He put his arms around both of their shoulders, having to reach a little for Josh because he was so tall. Josh and Arri exchanged glances, a grin trying to make it's way to the older boys face. "So I hear you guys are from sunny Californ-i-a? Cool. Look, if you ever need anything, I am always here. You don't have to worry about a thing." The guy's enthusiasm was admirable, but he was wearing on Arri's nerves just slightly. Thankfully, Jessica, that's was her name! pulled her away.

"Arri! There's someone you have to meet! Come on!" She and Angela, she remembered the other girl's name to be, pulled her away towards the shiny Volvo that had just pulled up, the nicest car in the lot besides her own, Josh following behind to escape the overly enthusiastic Eric.

From the car stepped a girl with long brown hair and pretty features and a tall boy with wild red brown hair and golden eyes. His skin was pale and was model-esque looking, like he stepped straight from a magazine. His eyes met hers for a split second, the slightest hint of a smirk in his expression, but it quickly disappeared. He subtly sniffed the air, like he smelt something pleasant, but brought his attention back to the rambling Jessica. Arri looked at him quizzically, but Jessica interrupted her by introducing them.

"Okay, so Bella, Edward, these are the newest additions to the school. This is Arri and Josh Wills, from California," Jessica said, motioning to each one of them. Jessica turned back to Bella to say something and Josh leaned in and whispered to his sister, "She makes it sound like we're trophies or something," He muttered with amusement, causing Arri to grin.

The girl couldn't help but notice that tiny smirk that almost came to Edward's face as well, it disappearing as soon as she caught it. Arri frowned slightly, but remembered that she was just meeting them, so she put a small smile back on, shaking Bella's hand. Edward didn't offer, so she didn't persist. "So Arri, Josh, this is Bella Swan and Edward Cullen," Jessica continued.
