Luka placed his arm around Valentina's shoulder as they made their way into the school. Everyone was staring, but they didn't really mind, small towns like Forks probably don't get new students often.
      
"Hi! I'm Eric and this is Angela," Two students appear in front of them. "You must be Luka and Valentina," the boy says.

"Yeah, we are, it's nice to meet you," Valentina says and Luka flashes them a smile.

"We're from the school paper and you two are news baby, everyone's been talking about you," Eric starts off, "would you mind if there's a feature of you guys?"

"And if so...we were wondering if we could take a couple candid shots for the feature?" Angela asks with a hopeful smile.
      
Valentina and Luka share a look before shrugging, "We don't mind," Luka tells them before he shuffles closer to Valentina, and they smile for the picture.

"Great, thank you!" Angela smiles after she's taken the picture, "Do you mind sitting with us during lunch for a few questions?"

"We wouldn't mind at all," Valentina tells them. "We still have to get our schedules, though, so we'll meet up by the cafeteria, that cool?"
      
"Yeah sure, it was nice meeting you!" Eric says excitedly before Angela drags him away.

"You too!" Valentina calls out after them. Luka wraps his arm around her shoulder once again and they make their way to the front office. When they arrive, the front desk lady is speaking with someone, specifically a vampire.
      
They walk closer to him and wait for her to be done. Valentina watches the boy closely and notices when he tenses up, knowing that he's caught their scent. She inhales deeply, taking in his sweet scent and cologne then sighs softly. They'd waited a year to finally meet and here he was, right in front of them, smelling absolutely delicious.
     
"Thank you for your patience, Jasper," The front lady smiles before handing him a piece of paper.
    
"Jasper..." Valentina whispers-- soft enough for anyone not to hear, but him. He turns around almost abruptly and stares the couple down. He was more beautiful than they ever could've imagined. He was tall and lean, taller than Valentina, but about the same height as Luka. His chin-length, honey blonde hair fell beautifully in soft waves, framing his chiseled face. 

His eyes were intense, almost the same shade as his hair, as he stared at the couple in front of him, oddly drawn to them. The exposed skin of his neck and arms was littered with scars, unable to be seen by the human eye. To anyone else he would've been terrifying, but in their eyes, he was perfect.

His eyes catch Luka's first before he glances down at Valentina. Jasper tries to get a feel of their emotions, but their feelings were all over the place. Hints of happiness, joy, even love, he couldn't understand why the two beautiful people in front of him felt such things just by looking at him. Jasper's fists clench, confused about what's going before he takes a deep breath, glancing at the couple once more and stepping out of the room.

"Hi, what can I help you with?" The lady in the front smiles.

"Hi! We're Valentina and Luka, we are here for our schedules," Valentina smiles.

"Oh right, the new students!" She says excitedly, "I'm Mrs. Cooper if you ever need anything. Where are you guys from, if you don't mind me asking?"
  
"We're both originally from France, but we've traveled around a lot. We went to school in New Orleans before coming here," Luka tells her, repeating what their records should say.

"I remember I went to France once with my husband," Mrs. Cooper raves, " such a beautiful country." Valentina and Luka both thank her as she hands them their schedules, "If you need anything at all, just remember to ask for Mrs. Cooper," She smiles.
      
"Will do!" Luka and Valentina wave to her and step out of the office. She checks their schedules and lets out a breath of relief, "We have all our classes together, let's head to English."
      
Luka throws his head back with a groan, "Do we really have to do all this?"
      
"Not really, but where's the harm?" Valentina answers cheekily.
