Hurricane ► Jasper Hale [1]

[02]

ALLISON AND BELLA parted ways; Bella had Biology last, while Allison had Study Hall. Allison walked into the library and looked around for a place to sit. She saw the Cullen's, minus Edward, all sitting around a wooden round table. Little Alice looked up and caught her eye. She frantically waved Allison over with a large smile on her features. "Allison, over here!" The other Cullen's turned to see who had captured Alice's attention and they saw Allison making her way over to their table, hugging her books to her chest and smiling at Alice. "Hi, Allison," Alice greeted happily when Allison took the seat between her and Rosalie.

"Hey, Alice," Allison greeted with a laugh as she took in Alice's excited expression. "And so we meet again," She teased.

"Hello again, Allison," Rosalie smiled at her in the same gentle way she did earlier.

Emmett waggled his eyebrows at Allison, "Hey, Alicat." Allison rolled her chocolate colored eyes at the nickname, but chose not to say anything; she had grown to like it.

Jasper smiled at the brunette girl in greeting. He had only spoken to her once and that was to introduce himself and avoid her handshake. She was surprised when she found herself a little hurt by his apparent dislike.

"How was your day?" Alice grabbed Allison's attention.

"It was... eventful to say the least," Allison chuckled as she remembered the incident in Gym, "My friend almost knocked me out, like, five times in gym, she has no hand-eye coordination whatsoever, I got kissed on the cheek by some random guy, and most of my classes are boring and repetitive."

"Do you mean Isabella Swan?" Rosalie asked curiously. She found it odd that her brothers' blood singers' were friends. Allison chuckled lowly at the way Rosalie connected Bella and uncoordinated.

"It's just Bella, but yeah. The one and only."

The Cullen's starting chatting amongst themselves, so Allison stood up and strode to the nearest bookshelf. The Forks library was very poorly stocked; she noticed this as she reached the shelves. Allison ended up choosing some book about werewolves and turned back to the table, but she was met with four pairs of amber eyes. She furrowed her eyebrows at all the attention, but held up her book as explanation.

"Werewolves, huh?" Jasper mused. "You don't really strike me as someone who believes in that stuff."

"That's probably because you don't know me," Allison snapped out of instinct. "But, I like to keep an open mind about the supernatural."

Jasper grinned when the usually sweet girl snapped at him. She had fire; he had seen that when she walked into his History class. She looked shy at first when she approached the teacher, fiddling with her jacket sleeves and glancing around the room. But, he had felt the swirling storm of emotions she felt. She was like a beautiful hurricane and he was the victim of her destruction.

"How are you liking Forks so far?" Alice inquired.

Allison made a noise of disapproval. "It's very rainy. I hate rain. I'm used to living places where rain is next to unheard of. I don't mind all of the green, I like nature. And I met Bella, so that's a definite plus."

"Why did you move here, then? If you don't like rain," Jasper asked Allison, genuine curiosity in his voice.

"My mom's job moves us around a lot. She's a doctor," And as Allison said the words, the Cullen's exchanged glances.

The rest of the period was spent conversing about Allison and her likes and dislikes. Allison wasn't used to all this attention and it made her slightly uncomfortable, but she wasn't going to be rude and tell them to stop. She was confused, from what Jessica told her, the Cullen's didn't really interact with anyone else, but they had been more than welcoming to her.
