Goodbye For Now (Twilight Fan Fic)

Surprise

Jasper's POV

We still drive to school in Edward's Volvo. He left it behind and as painful as it is to even be near it is still our most inconspicuous car.

The moment we get out the car the scent of unfamiliar vampires hits our nostrils. "Oh God," Rosalie moans, "We've barely been here five minutes and we're already in trouble."

Before now we would ask Edward if the strange vampires are friendly or not, but now he's gone, and we can't get him back.

I feel the grief and pain coming back to everyone else in waves. Wincing, I frown and murmur, "Guys, today is not the day." While pushing waves of calm at them.

"Sorry," Everyone says before we walk to the office.

I have every class with my Alice, except history, which I have with none of my siblings. This is good because its my favourite subject and Rose and Emmett always make comments and Alice distracts me with her beauty.

First though, I have Spanish with Rosalie, my 'twin.' She's very good at Spanish, we all are, but there is no denying that Edward was the best.

Ever since Edward left school has been... Strange at the very least. In almost every lesson we seem to mourn the memories we have of Edward when we shared a particular class with him. We are almost dead to the world at school, and sometimes even at home. It scares Carlisle to death, especially when Esme does it. He is the only one that hasn't let himself be trapped in his own mind by the grief he feels for his first son, even if he was physically the youngest out of all us.

After a few more lessons I have history. I'm the first one in the classroom. "Excuse me, ma'am," I smile at the teacher as she turns around, smiling back, "My name is Jasper Hale. I'm a new student. I came with my three siblings..." I trail off, missing the days I had four siblings.

"Off course, please hand me your slip and I'll sign it for you," She says. "My name is Miss Harper."

"Pleasure to meet you," I nod. "Where shall I sit?"

"The seat one from the window at the back. Every other seat is taken," She says, writing something on the whiteboard behind her.

"Will I have a partner, ma'am?" I ask in my southern accent.

She smiles slightly, then sighs, "Yes, he is an excellent historian. Very well informed and even corrects me sometimes."

Must be one of the vampires here to be that well informed.

"Although he rarely hands in his homework on time, and is always at least five minutes late for class," She continues.

"I look forward to meeting him," I reply, walking to sit at the back.

After a little while other children come in the classroom, and every seat is filled except the one beside me. Finally the lesson starts, the topic being announced after introductions are made.

"Well class, I hope-" Miss Harper is cut off when someone opens the door. I guess this is my partner, so I look up and see...

No.

No. Way.

Edward is one of the vampires here.

This is just not happening.

He sits next to without looking at me, but seems to listen intently to the teacher. "Well class, I hope you enjoyed the weekend but now we're going to be starting some new topics. First we will be learning about 17th century London."

"You'll have to get Carlisle to help you with that," Edward murmurs to me, as if 56 years hasn't passed since I last saw him.

"Then we will be learning about the Civil War, especailly the South," Miss Harper continues.
