Jared Whitlock; Daughter of Jasper Hale

Chapter 6: Guys, This is Jared Whitlock.

12:40 PM  

Finally, first four lessons are over and it's time for lunch. First day of school so far has been absolutely rubbish. Let me tell you why. 

*First Lesson= English. I fell head first into a table. Second Lesson= R.E. I practically had the whole lesson to introduce myself and tell everybody about ME. Third Lesson= Maths. Everybody laughed at me when I didn't know what long divison was. Fourth Lesson= Biology. I accidentally set this guy's hair on fire. So yeah, my school life is great and I'm only meant to be with Jasper for a week.......so what the hell???

"Hey." I turn and see the blonde guy smirking at me. "Oh hey, sorry what's your name?"  I ask, trying to be casual. "Mike Newton." He smiles, shaking my hand.  "Oh yeah, I've been warned about you! You're the dude who goes around with Jessica right?"  I smirk. HE DOESN'T ANSWER. He nods.

"Come with me," He smiles and guides me over to the food queue. "What do you want for food?" He asks. Uh oh, vampires don't eat. "Ummmm, don't mind." I mumble. So what should I tell him? Oh yeah hey Mike, I'm kinda a vampire and I'd rather feed on you for dinner...so keep your distance. Yeah, that'll work out well. 

"So we've got pizza, fries, or pasty, take your pick." Mike slides a tray towards me. I grip the edge of the tray with trembling fingers and gulp. "I'll have the fries and maybe some pizza." I suggested. "Okay babe, here you go." He scooped the fries and handed a slice of pizza and pulled me over to a table full of Year 11's. "Oh God, you're not taking me over there, are you?" I asked, scared. I was hoping to get near a bin so I could dump my food, quickly. 

As soon as I sit down, the Year 11's swarm around me. "Hey! I'm Jessica, Mike's girlfriend!" I barely had time to even nod before another flung his arm around my shoulders. "Hey! I'm Eric! I'm like the most handsome guy around, man!" I nod, quickly. Jesus, is anybody going to give me a chance to even say my name? "So....you're the new Cullen kid right?" asks Jessica. I try to respond but again, oh Mike takes over this time. "I wouldn't say Cullen kid." Mike starts. They all turn for an explanation. 

"Guys, this....is Jared Whitlock." He points over at me even though I'm the only newbie on the table. "Ah, Jared, it is so nice to know your name!" Eric smiles cheerily. Woah, is everybody that enthusiastic around here? "Hi Jared, I'm Angela." says another and holds out her hand. I shake it, grateful that at least someone is acting normal. "So now I'm confused." starts Jessica. "Are you part of the Cullen family or what?" She asks. Yay! I finally get to speak! "Yes, I am. But my surname is Whitlock because I'm part of Jasper Hale's real famly, you see." I explain. The energy at the table relaxes.

"So are you blood family of his or something?" Angela asks. Think of something....think of something. "Um, yeah I'm his little sister!" I answer enthusiastically. "Ah, Jasper's sister, ah." Eric mumbles. "Yeah, we never spoke to him directly, but he seems okay." Mike says. Yeah, well okay isn't really the word I'd use, but yeah....

Finally, the bell goes signalling the end of lunch break. I take my food and stick it in my bag, hoping for a rubbish bin. "Well, we'll catch up wih you later, Whitlock." Mike smirks. "Yeah, sure." I smile and pat his arm. 

Yay, people...I have some friends. Maybe overly enthusiastic, but hey, they're friends.
