Chasing My Immortal ⚜ Jasper Hale [1]

[5] A Jasper Mystery

Roxy's PoV

I shuffle closely behind Rose, who gracefully enters the laboratory sitting down in her designated seat beside Emmett. My eyes training on the mysteriously quiet boy sitting behind them alone. I note his curly blonde hair reaching his chin, etching around a perfectly sculpted face, matching the colour of his bright golden irises.

As if sensing someone's eyes on him he lifts his head, his eyes connecting with mine pulling me into a trance.

"Miss Carter?" Mr Molina calls.

I blink away, heat rising in my cheeks nervously walking up to Mr Molina tucking a piece of my hair behind my ear. Silently I nod at him, handing over my purple slip.

He smiles widely, "Why don't you go take a seat next to Mr Hale at the back of the room," he points to the gorgeous boy behind Rose.

I gulp slightly, turning on my foot carefully walking up the aisle to my new seat for the year. I could feel my hands sweating profusely, as I took a seat next to this unusual boy.
My breathing becoming a little heavier while I tug my notebook out of my bag placing it on desk in front of me. Organising my pencil case beside it, I look out of the corner of my eyes at the boy, his eyes burning into mine. The rapid beating of my heart causing dwindles of butterflies to erupt in my stomach.

Rose spins around on her stool, "Hey Rox, This here is my twin brother, Jasper."

I flicker my eyes between them, observing their features. They did look somewhat similar, the same golden eyes, same blonde hair. And yet, they both seem drastically different. Must be fraternal, I guess in my head.

I offer Jasper a small smile, anxiously holding my hand out to him, "It's nice to meet you. I'm Roxanne, but you can call my Roxy or Annie."

He looks down at my waiting hand, a slight grimace on his face hesitantly moulding his hand to mine. Our skin brushing together very briefly, a large spark jolting up my arm, causing me to pull away my face flushing.

He coughs slightly narrowing his eyes at me, "The pleasure is all mine ma'am."

I gaze at him, my thoughts overwhelming my conscious, furrowing my eyebrows at his eyes which were now a dark brown instead of bright gold.

"I want you to work in groups of four. Create a presentation and then feedback to the class next week on Friday," Molina informs near the end of the lesson.

Rose grins at Emmett, twisting herself around on the wooden stool, both of them facing Jasper and I.

A chuckle softly, "I guess we'll be working together."

I lean over Jasper lifting up the worksheet Mr Molina had given us scanning the summary, "We'll need to coordinate. Have you got a free period last?"

Emmett nods, "Jasper and I were planning on ditching."

I roll my eyes, "Well change your plans, that's when we're gonna start organising our presentation."

Emmett cockily mocks me, so I scrunch up the worksheet throwing it at his head.

"So....." Rose trails, "Do you want to sit with us for lunch?"

I bite my lip, "I wouldn't want to intrude."

Rose smiles, "You wouldn't."

I glance awkwardly at Jasper who seems to be continually staring at me.

"Sure."

Rose claps happily, "We can introduce you to the rest of the family."

Emmett turns to me, a disturbed look on his face, "I've never seen her this happy when making new friends."

I chuckle, "Guess I'm special then."

"You have no idea," Jasper mumbles, as the bell rings loudly drowning out most of his reply.

I scramble my belongings together, swinging my bag over my shoulder following Rose to her family who were waiting patiently outside of the cafeteria. Jasper and Emmett following silently behind us.

"You must be Roxy," a chirpy voice exclaims, as we approach the small group.

I look over to see a pixie girl dancing on her feet, wandering over to me immediately pulling me into a cold hug. Alarmed I stand still as stone, not sure what to do.

She releases me a huge grin on her face, "I'm Alice."

Her eyes scan over my outfit, "I like your outfit. Can I call you Annie?"

I swallow overwhelmed at the sudden affection, "Um...sure."

She cheers excitedly, "We're going to be great friends."

I gawk at her bewildered, fumbling with the hem of my white blouse.

"Alice, you're scaring her," the bronze haired boy articulates, Alice stepping away from me, apologising gingerly.

The boy turns to me, his hands stuffed in his jean pockets, "I'm Edward," he gestures over to Alice who had retreated back to the other boy, "She can be a little much, but she has good intentions."

I smile numbly, looking over at the boy who wraps his arm firmly around her waist. His jet black hair cropped short, the complete opposite to Jasper and Rosalie.

"Ethan Hale," He expresses reaching to shake my hand, I quickly clasp it before settling on keeping my hands bundled in my hoody pockets.

A light breeze brushes over me, a feeling of calm and warmth investing in my mind instead of the frantic unsettlement.

"Did you feel that?" I mumble to no one in particular.

"What are you talking about?" Rose creases her eyebrows.

I shiver a little, "Must be the wind," tugging my hoody further around my abdomen.

"We should head inside, it's a little chilly out here," Rose encourages, linking her arm with mine, guiding me through the endless tables to a vacant one closet to the fire place.
