Life ✶ Jasper Hale

✶Four: Surprise

✧Svetlana✧

Riding my beast of a motorcycle while it's cold is so much better than through the heat. I'm not exactly sure what it is about the cold—I just crave it. I like to think of it as a quirk. I'm currently on my to school to meet Iz. I would have gotten a ride with her, but since it isn't supposed to rain much today, I wanted to take Flirting with Death.

Because of that decision, I'm wearing dark purple skinny jeans that are ripped. A black, shredded sweater that overlays a purple shirt; matching my outfit with my ride. My hair loose since I had to wear my helmet, although I did straighten it. For makeup, I created a purple and grey smokey-eye with winged liner. And lastly, my dauntless insignia patterned riding jacket—that was given to my from Ian.

FWD was a bribe slash gift from my brother two years ago. He bought it for me and in exchange, I had to give up my rebellious and sneaky behavior. At first, I was hesitant, highly enjoying cause trouble when sneaking out, but when everyone threw a bitch-fit, I was swift to accept the bribe. Ian, Charlie, and Nan were the ones against me keeping it the most.

They all were worried about my safety, especially Char. But that was because of the fact that he doesn't know about my Protector healing abilities. However, after a month of me staying true to my commitment and even taking up more time to improve bend my fire abilities, the complaints died down to hardly any. Still, Ian has a rule of me wearing this jacket...but, I don't wear it that often.

What he doesn't know, won't hurt him.

As I ride into the student parking lot, all heads turn towards me at the powerful sound of my baby. I smirk under my helmet at their gawking faces, pleased. Big Red is already in the lot, Bella still inside the cab. With a swift maneuver, I pull into the open spot next to her and kill the engine. Izzy exits her truck when I dismount, sending me a small smile.

I step closer to her as I take off my helmet. "Do you mind keeping this in your truck until after school?"

"Sure, no problem." She takes it from my hands and places it on the seat before closing the door.

I bend over, flipping my hair forward. Grabbing the hair tie from my wrist, I begin gathering my hair up into a messy bun. Once I know it's secure, I straighten back up, still elated from my ride here. Glancing at the people standing around, I notice a lot of them are still staring at us.

Bella takes notice, her words revealing her unease, "Some how, I thought we would get less stares today."

"I'm pretty sure that's because I rode FWD today." I smirk whilst fondly caressing my black and purple motorcycle.

"FWD?" Iz quizzes, giving me a confused look.

Huh, I guess I forgot to tell her.

"Flirting with Death. That's what I named him," I enlighten simply, looping my arm with hers as we begin to walk.

"You're very strange, Svet." She chuckles lightly, amusement reflecting in her eyes.

"I think we figured that out a long time ago."

She looks over to the side and I'm quick follow her gaze. The Cullens are standing by the Volvo, talking with each other. Everyone except Edward.
