Before You Go[Twilight;Jasper Hale]

2

Gabriella had finally come home and crawled into her bed closer to midnight than she or Charlie had liked, but Charlie had agreed to let it slide since it was pizza night.

She groaned softly at the sound of her alarm. Slapping the thing, she groaned again when the clock toppled to the floor.

"Really?" She reached down, picking it up and tossing it back on her nightstand before crawling in her bed. She grabbed her phone off her vanity table and saw Jacob had called. She sent him a quick good morning text, sending one to Embry and Quil as well.

Gabby groaned again when she heard the shower turn on. Bella had already gotten in there and it was a one bathroom house. It had never been a problem before since Charlie always showered at night.

Gabriella grabbed out her favorite baby blue hoodie her mother had gotten her when Charlie and she got the jeep for her 16th birthday. "I miss you mom.." she laid the hoodie on the bed before she grabbed a plain black tee and a pair of jeans. Of course she had to wear her rainbow converse with such a drab colored outfit.

Laying the clothes on the bed with the hoodie, she made her way downstairs to find food while she waited on Bella.

"Might as well be nice, I guess." She got to work on making eggs and bacon for Bella, even making enough for Charlie when he woke up. She wrapped Charlie's food up and put it in the oven, leaving a note on the fridge.

She finally heard Bella descending the stairs after Gabriella had finished her food. "Food on the stove." She told her sister as she made her way upstairs to finally shower.

--------

A frown tugged at her lips when she got back downstairs, her damp hair in a viking style braid, the food she had left on the stove for Bella hadn't even been touched. "Rude much..." Gabriella set the food into the oven as well. Maybe Charlie would eat some of it.

She grabbed her keys and headed out the door. When she pulled into the school parking lot, she could see Bella's monstrosity of a truck, but Charlie had said that Bella liked the thing.

She supposed if it got you to where you needed to go. She parked in her usual spot in the back. Nobody really parked back there except her and of course the infamous Cullen clan apparently. She hadn't even realized until she had come in late one day and saw all of their vehicles several spots down.

Grabbing her bag, she hopped out and locked up. She shoved her keys in her bag as she walked up to the building.

Gabriella saw Bella walking with Eric of all people. She felt kind of bad, knowing how bad Eric is. She would really feel bad for her sister when she met Mike Newton.

"Poor thing." She mumbled under her breath with a slight chuckle.

"There's the little bit." A loud voice caught the younger Swan's attention. Gabriella looked over and saw Emmett Cullen of all people with Rosalie Hale in tow. Sure she had biology with the two of them and history with Alice and Jasper, but she had never spoke to any of them. Not a peep.

Gabby couldn't help but stare at the blonde. She was so pretty. "Pretty." She muttered under breath. A slight pink tinged her cheeks when she realized she had said it out loud. The pink turned to full blown red when she saw the slight smile on Rosalie's face. She had heard. "Uh....bye." Gabriella turned on her heels but Emmett stopped her.

"Hey, wait. I was just gonna let you know, the list of the lab partners are up and we got each other." She turned to look at him.

She honestly looked confused. "I thought you were always paired with Rosalie?"

The tall, giant to Gabby who stood at five foot two, boy chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. "Yeah, but I got in trouble for talking too much."

"I tried to tell you to shut up at least three times." Rosalie told him. The first bell cut their conversation short.

"Well, see you in biology!" Emmett waved as he and Rosalie walked away.

"What an odd day.." she muttered as she headed for her first class and her favorite. History.
