The first week of school passed, and Charlie worked all weekend, Bella went to the library but didn't like it so she flopped on my bed making me look up at her from my window seat "Yes?" she said, "Do you think my truck can make it to Olympia or Seattle?" I said "No, do not drive that thing that far." she said "Can we plan a day to take your car then? Please?" I said "Sure Bella." she got excited and kissed my cheek before leaving as she said, "You're the best sister ever." I chuckled "And don't you forget it." We were at school and everyone was excited, it was snowing, I don't know how I felt about it yet but I did know it was dangerous to go outside with all the boys throwing it at everyone. 

(Jasper's POV)

Emery Swan walked into the cafeteria to get some food and when her eyes landed on our table she immediately got pissed off just at the sight of us, her sister Bella grabbed her arm and said "Em if you love me you'll let it go. Please don't cause a scene on my behalf." Emery said, "I promise you no one will miss the asshole, I can dig the hole really far." Bella said, "Emery I am asking you, as my twin sister to let it go just this once and not to murder Edward." She crossed her arms "Fine, one wrong move from him and he's mine." Bella looked lovingly at her murderous sister and said "Thank you." before walking away. I said "Edward what did you do to her? I don't think I've ever felt anger that intensely." that got the whole table's attention, Edward said, "I don't know but are we sure she isn't a serial killer because the girl is thinking of creative ways of murdering me." Emmett teased him "Scared of a little girl?" Alice came out of a vision and said "I think we should all be." Edward looked horrified I said "Why Alice? What did you see?" she sighed "The only people I saw in the vision were Emery, Bella, Edward, and Carlisle. Emery had a broken arm, but still, she managed to beat Edward mercilessly with a baseball bat, then she tied him down with chains and lit him on fire. Bella seemed annoyed at her sister." Rosalie said, "What was Carlisle doing?" Alice said "Making sure Emery was ok, once Edward was reduced to ash Carlisle led the girls away." Rosalie said "No way, Carlisle would not sit by and let anyone kill one of us without a fight, especially not a human girl. Alice said "I have to go talk to Carlisle, Jazz I need you to keep an eye on Emery. She seems to have a dark future that involves us and not just because she murders Edward." then she left.

(Emery's POV)

Alice wasn't in English class and when I went into Biology Mr. Banner said "Emery sit with Jasper today, Alice is out so he will be your partner. I agreed and sat in Alice's seat beside Jasper who greeted me "Hello Emery." I smiled "Hey Jasper, where is Alice? Is she ok?" he nodded "She is ok, she just isn't feeling too well today so she went home during lunch." I said "Well tell her I hope she feels better." he smiled at me "I will." today for lab Mr. Banner explained the slides in the box were out of order. Working as lab partners, we had to separate the slides of onion root tip cells into the phases of mitosis they represented and label them accordingly. We weren't supposed to use our books. In twenty minutes, he would be coming around to see who had it right." Get started," he commanded. Jasper said, "Ladies first." I had already done this lab before so I knew it would be simple as I snapped the first slide into place under the microscope and adjusted it quickly to the 40X objective. I studied the slide briefly. My assessment was confident. "Prophase." Jasper said "Do you mind if I look?" he asked as I began to remove the slide. His hand caught mine, to stop me, as he asked. His fingers were ice-cold like he'd been holding them in a snowdrift before class. I said "Of course" and slid the microscope toward him. I watched him, as he examined the slide for an even shorter time than I had."Prophase," he agreed, writing it neatly in the first space on our worksheet. 

He swiftly switched out the first slide for the second, and then glanced at it cursorily."Anaphase," I figured he was probably correct and held my hand open "Slide three?" He handed it to me; I took a look and said "Interphase." I passed him the microscope before he could ask for it. He took a swift look and then wrote it down. I would have written it while he looked, but his clear, elegant script intimidated me. I didn't want to spoil the page with my clumsy scrawl. We were finished before anyone else was close. I could see a few tables comparing two slides again and again, and another group had their book open under the table. Mr. Banner came to our table to see why we weren't working. He looked over our shoulders to glance at the completed lab, and then stared more intently to check the answers."So, Emery were you also in the advanced placement in Phoenix, or did Jasper do all the work?" Jasper said, "Actually she identified three of the five." I said, "Bella and I were in the same class." He mumbled something else as he walked away. After he left, I began finishing my drawing of Alice. Jasper said, "It's too bad about the snow, isn't it?" I shook my head "Not really," he said "You don't like the cold." It wasn't a question. I said "Or the wet." he said "Forks must be a difficult place for you to live," I said "You have no idea," he said, "Why did you come here, then?" 

I sighed and put my pencil down to look up at him "I didn't have a choice." He said, "Why not?" I said "Because Bella, who also hates the cold volunteered to move here and so my mother forced me to as well. She didn't want kids to drag her down seeing as she had just gotten married. He is a minor league baseball player, which he sucks at by the way, and she wanted to travel with him rather than stay home with us." Jasper said "I'm sorry." then to change the subject he said, "I like that drawing of Alice, but I have to ask, why did you draw her three times?" I pointed to each drawing as I explained "Because, m not sure if you're aware but you and your siblings' eyes change colors so at the beginning of the week like today they start as this golden honey color, and by about Wednesday they become this really pretty color somewhere between the gold and black, and by Friday they are black. Then we wrap around to Monday again, it's a cycle, so I wanted to convey that in my drawings. I drew you too." he said "Can I see?" so I flipped to his page and watched as he studied it, he said, "What is this look you got here?" I chuckled "I think it's called love, Jasper. It's how you look when you watch Alice, this particular day was I think last Thursday, Alice and I were goofing around before class and you couldn't take your eyes off her. It's actually really romantic and cute. Look you see it here too." I flipped to the page after that one and it is of Alice and Jasper, I said "When you twirled her as you guys walked to your table for lunch." he said, "This is some really talented work, Emery." I shrugged and went back to my drawing of Alice "It's a pastime, it keeps me calm and focused."

He said, "Yeah I saw you and your sister talking earlier, you seemed mad, can I ask why?" I said "I... I am a very protective person, especially of my sister. She is the older twin but she makes the cowardly lion look fierce. She has no ability to stand up for herself, so from a young age, I made sure to stand up and protect both of us. Nothing makes me see red faster than my sister crying and your brother did that. On our very first day, his attitude and demeanor toward her were hostile and made her cry. Then when we went to turn our slips in he was trying to get out of her bio class, when he noticed us he glared at her as if her mere existence inconvenienced his whole life. And honestly Jasper, I like you and Alice but if he makes her cry again or hurts her in any way, your gonna be one brother short." Jasper chuckled "Fair enough. He's a dick." I giggled "Yeah he is." he said, "Hey can I take a picture of the one of me and Alice?" I said, "Actually I'm not completely done with it yet but I have one you can have." I ripped a page out and handed it to him. The bell rang so I packed up and left to go home.
