"Holy Shit" Bella breathes out, eyes wide staring at the blonde. "Is Jasper Hale actually smiling on a school day?" she says dramatically with a grin on her face. Alice snickers stepping out of the Jeep, grabbing Jasper's hand.
"It's only because it's October, he has a strange obsession with the month" she rolls her eyes gazing up at her boyfriend.
"It's not an obsession darling, I love the Halloween atmosphere" he replies, looking to Bella; she chuckles.
"Today is only the first" Jasper shrugs moving to walk into the main building.
"We're going to speak with Dr. Banner, see you later Bella!" she nods at Alice's words turning to face her silent blonde friend.
"Library?" she questions pointing toward the building; with an affirmation the duo walk side by side inside of the school.

"Have you started the new art project?" Bella asks the taller girl as they take their seats in the back of the library.
Over the past few weeks Bella had become accustomed to the one-sided conversations she shared with Rosalie, they had become so in tune with each other that the talks seemed natural; she often forgot that the girl didn't speak at all. Every day after school, expect for Fridays when Rosalie had an appointment with Esmé, the pair would sit in Rosalie's garage as the blonde continuously worked on her car. Some days they sat in silence, others the radio of the car would play the cd that the blonde had made for Bella and on a few rare occasions Bella would talk, telling Rosalie any and everything about herself. She never once pressured Rosalie into speaking or asked any personal questions about the blonde; Bella wanted to allow her time to get comfortable enough to give Bella any information, maybe one day actually talk to her.
The new project in Art was for each student to pick a subject or theme and to create a portfolio of 15 drawings surrounded around the idea. Bella had yet to decide on a subject though ideas were swirling around in her head; Angela choose music, Alice clothes, Jasper chose war, stating that guns and dead stick figures were very easy to draw and Rosalie chose cars. The blonde hesitantly nods her head looking into Bella's eyes. Immediately Bella senses the uncertainty and questions the blonde.
"Is everything okay?" she speaks softly trying to get a read from the light blue orbs. Rosalie doesn't respond grabbing her bag she opens it to pull out her black sketchbook placing it on the table in front of her. Bella looks to Rosalie with curious eyes, glancing towards the book.
"Open it"she nods at Bella the words spoken through her eyes. Reaching out to take the book Bella opens to the front page and instantly understands the hesitation.
There on the first page was Bella's Camaro, but instead of the plain silver one she had in the parking lot this one was a sleek gray with a dark blue design on the hood and a strip on the right side of the car. The wheels were a different type, though Bella didn't know exactly what type, but it made the car seem faster than her own. The image was angled so that Bella could see the front grill as well as the hood and Bella sat silently in shock. Not just because of the amount of detail put in the picture that made the image look real but she was shocked by the admiration she felt looking at the vehicle.
"Could we do this?" Bella breathes out gazing at the woman in front of her. "I mean if we got the supplies and paint is there a way to..." she trails off staring into Rosalie's eyes. A tiny but enthusiastic smile adorns her features and Bella grins accepting the smile as a confirmation.
"See Jas, I told you they'd be in here" Alice announces as she turns the corner behind Bella. "Let's go you two; the bell is going to ring in about five seconds!"
