Two Loves are Better than One

Chapter 2

The next day I had waited with Bella by her truck to confront Edward about him being an asshole, my words, not hers, but he never showed up, for that day and the rest of the week. I was pissed whenever I saw the Cullens arrive without him, but oddly it went away when I saw Jasper and Alice.

School was pretty uneventful that week. The only thing that happened was in history on Friday when we were assigned a project at the end of class and said we could do it in groups of three or two or individually. Everybody got up to meet with their friends, and I stood up to get the direction from the front of the classroom to grab the materials. I felt someone stand a little too close to me.

"Hey, I'm Dean," He said, smirking.

"Um, Hi?" I said, wondering why he was talking to me.

"Wanna be partners?" He asked.

"No," I said, turning around and going back to my seat.

"Come one, why not," He said, stepping in front of me.

"Because-" I started but was cut off.

"She's with us" I heard someone say and looked back to see Jasper and Alice. Alice looped her arm through mine walked passed, Dean. I could feel my face heating up, damn it body, can't you just not betray me.

"Uh, Hi," I said with uncertainty, Jasper was walking next to her.

"Hi," She chirped.

"Uh, thanks," I said, "For, getting rid of him."

"No problem!" She chirped again.

"So, are we actually going to be..." I trailed off.

"Partners?" Jasper said.

"Of course" Alice replied, I looked at them oddly but shrugged my shoulders, if the two most attractive people in the school want to partner with me then I'm not complaining.

I didn't do much over the weekend; I had exchanged numbers with Alice and Jasper so we could talk about the project. The only thing we accomplished so far was the topic we were going to do, which was the Civil War. I had insisted on the topic because I was very fascinated by it, along with a few other wars but we weren't that far into the book yet. Jasper and Alice seemed amused by my choice of topic but didn't elaborate. Other than that I just took care of my Tortoises. I brought them up from Phoenix, and I hadn't been giving them a lot of love lately. I felt that I hadn't been giving them enough love so much that on Monday I had decided to bring them to school.

Beside's some weird looks and a couple of questions I had so far gotten away with sneaking my tortoises to school in a shoebox. In history, the seating changed so that we were sitting with our project partners. I don't know how to feel about that because 1 they are literally perfect and I might be getting a crush on them, 2 they are in a relationship and 3 I am nervous as hell around them. I sat down at an empty table and cracked lid (it had holes) open to see my babies. Fred was sleeping and Sheldon was trying to look outside the box.

"Are those-"

"NOTHING," I said, almost slamming the lid down. I looked up to see who had spoken, It was Alice, with Jasper more or less behind and next to her.

"Oh, Hi," I said, trying to act nonchalant and leaning back in my chair, which succeeded in me falling off my chair. I didn't hit the ground though, and I looked up, Jasper had caught me and put me back in my chair. I felt myself start to blush, again. What was with the blushing around these two. Then wondered how he caught me so fast.

"Uh, thanks" I mumbled.

"So, what's in the box," Alice asked.

"What box?" I asked, innocently, they both just looked at me. "Fine, okay but you have to keep it a secret." I then opened the box and let them look at them.
