I'm shy. I'm plain. I love to read. I hate my glasses and my hair. And don't even get me started on my dull poo brown eyes. I am slender with no figure. I'm the one everyone forgets is there most of the time. I'm the daughter of Pastor Webber and I have a secret. I'm in love with Jasper Hale. I have been since he moved to town with his family.

On that first day at lunch was really when I got my first look. He was tall. 6'3. Well toned. Not overly so like is brother Emmett. And golden blonde curly hair that sat on his head like a halo. He was perfect to me.

But as I said before I am shy so I just watched him from my table. But I've always longed to just walk up to him and say... 'Go out with me.' I never got up the nerve.

There was something that drew me to him. Not just his beautiful face or smile. And it wasn't like he was talking to me. Can't say I blamed him. I wasn't as beautiful as his sisters looked.

But I did make a friend in Alice Cullen his best friend and sister. We had a class together. Math. She just walked up to me declaring that she and I were going to be best friends. And normally I would have hid away in my books and not said anything back but there was something about Alice and I wanted to get to know her.

Over time she has become my best friend. My only friend really. And thanks to her for pulling me out of my shell day by day. And even though we don't have much in common we get along like sisters.

It took some convincing but I even love to shop with her. But mostly I agree because we do things that I like to do too.

She even convinced my parents to let me get contacts though I have to admit I don't wear as often anymore. And she tried redoing my wardrobe a few times but I don't let her get too far. I'm not into that that much, plus my mom and dad wouldn't like how she dressed let alone pick something for me to wear.

We talk about boys, school, shopping. So over the years I had gained information about Jasper.

But tonight was going to change my life. Tonight I was having a sleepover at Alice's. I had never been. So I was excited to see where she lived. But if I was being honest I was going so I could see Jasper. I could say hi right.

We agreed to meet after school. Alice would wait on me to show me the way since my dad didn't allow cellphones. And I'm pretty sure they would have not approved if they new Alice was not the reason why I wanted to have a sleepover in the first place.

Alice's house was grand. Almost castle like. Just like out of a fairytale. I was sure I would get lost on my own.

When we got over to the Cullens, I met everyone but Jasper. It turns out he had to run an errand for his mother and would be back later. I was disappointed that I wasn't going to see him right a way. Alice noticed and asked if I wanted to go watch some movies with her in the living room. And since I was really here for a sleepover with her I agreed.

Great I wasn't going to get my chance after all. Though I'm not sure I would have said anything had he been here.

".... So what type of movie do you want to watch? We have everything from romantic to comedy to horror." Dang Alice was talking to me.

"Not any horror please. And since this is a sleepover lets go romantic. Hm. I guess just choose which ever. I'm not picky."

It was then that Jasper came around the corner. We both turned toward him and got up to go over to him. Then Alice spoke as we were standing right in front of him.

"Angela, as you know; this is my brother Jasper. Jasper this is Angela Webber. The girl I was talking about the other day." Um what. I would have to talk to Alice about that later when we were alone. I blushed shyly and turned my head. I was so embarrassed.

"Yes... Hello there darlin'." And I'm swooning. I love accents. And his Texas drawl was so sexy. I literally could jump him right here. Yup I'm totally killing Alice later for this. Knowing her she probably planned this whole thing. I blushed redder shaking his hand and looking away.

He smiled and let go of my hand. To sit on the couch.

"So what movie are you girls watching?"

"We aren't sure yet but why don't you join us brother. I know the boys won't be home till later and dad just left for the night shift when we came home." I glared at Alice. Was she trying to kill me.

We decided on a classic. Pride and Prejudice. And if you want to know I sat by Jasper on the couch. Bold move I know, but I figured this way I could at least get a chance to talk to him. For some reason I was feeling bold.

"So Jasper do you have your English done? I heard from Jessica that our paper was due Tuesday."

"Yes ma'am I sure did. And I heard that too. Only not from Jessica. Every time I see her, she has her tongue down my brothers throat."

"Wow you got it done already. I haven't even started. Don't really know what to write my paper on. I'm sure I'll get an idea soon. And finish on time. I just need to get started. You know. Anyways I know what you mean. Just today before school ended I saw them basically doing the deed. I mean keep it in your pants and wait till you get home no one wants to see that." Omg did I just really say that. I hid my face. Please don't think I'm some crazy person.

"I'm a big nerd so I already knew my topic when she handed out the project. And so I just wanted to get it out of the way. So I could have time to finish this book on the Civil War. Just so you know I can help you pick out a topic while your here. I'm sure Alice can spare you. Also I tell Emmett that same thing all the time. I have to leave the house when they are here. I hope you come over more maybe keep me company on a walk so I'm not alone."

"I think I can do that."

We talked like that for awhile. The movie had long ago gone quiet and Alice was upstairs getting the beds made for our long night. And when it was time for make overs Alice practically had to drag me away from Jasper. But I hugged him good night. Hoping for more of him tomorrow.
