Chapter Three, Lessons

Annalyssa's P.O.V:

As I walked into the small toasty warm office I spotted a kind faced woman sitting behind a desk that split the room in half. "Excuse me I'm here to pick my by schedule. I'm Annalyssa Swan." I said politely.
"Ahh, yes Chief Swan's youngest daughter. Here is your schedule, a map of the school and this slip you have to get signed by all your teachers and hand back to me at the end of the day, your locker number is 220. Now you don't have to participate in gym but your slip still needs to be signed by your teacher. Now this is the best way to your classes." She said as she explained to me the best way to all my classes. I thanked her and left the office looking down at my schedule I saw what I had and it wasn't too bad actually.

1st period 8:30-9:30: AP History 1.16 (building one classroom sixteen)
2nd period 9:30-10:30: AP English 1.2 (building one classroom two)
3rd period 10:30-11:30: Creative Writing 2.5 (building two classroom five)
4th period 11:30-12:30 Gym (Gymnasium building five)
Lunch 12:30-13:30 (building four)
5th period 13:30-14:30: AP Biology 2.8 (building two classroom eight)
6th period 14:30-15:30:  AP Math 3.1 (building three classroom one)

I smiled as I saw I had one of my favourite classes for first period and started to head towards the right building and classroom trying to ignore people pointing, whispering and starring at me. I quickly found my locker putting the books for my last classes in there before making my way to my first lesson again when I bumped into someone with my shoulder. "Oh, I'm so sorry." I apologised quickly, cringing in embarrassment when I noticed the person I had bumped into was the handsome blonde who had pointed me in the direction of the office.

"I'm so sorry I wasn't paying attention I was trying to ignore all the..." I trailed off realising I was rambling as I rubbed my shoulder.
"It's okay." He smiled. "Are you alright? It's nice to see you again. I didn't get to introduce myself in the car park. I'm Jasper Hale." The guy introduced himself holding out his hand for me.
"I'm fine thank you. It's nice to see you again too Jasper. Sorry for bumping into you. I'm Annalyssa Swan." I introduced placing my hand in his thinking he's going to shake it but instead he brings my hand up to his lips kissing my knuckles making my cheeks burn red.

Especially as I can feel everyone starring at us even more now but I just turned and raised my eyebrow at some of them my free hand on my hip with a 'can I help you' look on my face while the other was still being held by Jasper. Once the crowd and dispersed slightly I turned back to Jasper a small smile on my lips as he smirked at me. "A very beautiful name. What class do you have now?" He asked still with my hand in his and I just now realised the pull in my chest was pulling me to Jasper. "Is something wrong?" Jasper asked noticing my frown.

"No, not really." I said pushing the feeling away for now to look at later. "I'm fine." I said when I saw his disbelieving look before he nodded and smiled once more. "I have history now which is good as it's my favourite."
Jasper smiled happily at me the smile lighting up his golden eyes.
"So do I. Really? It's my favourite as well." He said. "I can lead you there if you like?" He asked. I smiled nodding my head as we walked towards the classroom. "Yeah I've always been fascinated with history especially the Civil War. My dad even got me some new history books and specific ones on the Civil War as a homecoming present."

"What?" I asked noticing he was staring at me.
"I've never met anyone who shares my fascination for history in particular the Civil War its a nice change." Jasper said smiling at me as we entered the classroom. He waited for me as the teacher signed my slip and led me to his table which coincidentally was the only available seat in the classroom. "Can I see your schedule?" Jasper asked in the last few minutes of class. The lesson had gone quite well not just because I love this lesson but Jasper was so easy to talk to and I couldn't deny the pull I felt for him in my chest. "Sure." I said handing him my schedule as our hands touched it was like we received an electric shock and I couldn't help but gasp slightly but I couldn't pull my hand away and neither could he it seemed.

"You have English with me, my twin Rosalie and my brother Emmett who is Rosalie's boyfriend. Creative writing with Alice, she's the only creative one out of us. Gym you have with Alice on the girls side and I'm on the boys side with my brother Dean, Emmett's younger brother and Alice's boyfriend. Biology with me, Alice, Dean and my brother Edward. Math you have with Rose and Emmett." Jasper told me handing back my schedule. "Would you like to sit with us at lunch? I can meet you outside Gym if you wanted to."
"Thank you Jasper, I'd like that." I smiled. "Well, I'm glad I know someone in my classes." I smiled making Jasper laugh and me giggle. 'He has an amazing laugh. No stop you don't want to get hurt again. You have to think of Willow.' I thought frowning to myself as the bell rang.

{Time skip- Lunch}

I growled feeling extremely pissed off. 'How dare Bella spread lies about me like that. I would hit her but I don't want to put Willow at risk.' I thought brushing away my tears. 'Stupid hormones.' I jumped when I felt a hand land on my shoulder looked to my right seeing Alice smile sadly at me. "Don't let it bother you. I can tell that's not true what you're sister is spreading around the school about you don't worry." Alice assured.
"Aren't you, Jasper and your siblings at least a bit curious like everyone else in this damn school?" I asked confused but also slightly relieved.

"No." Alice answered simply. "You're our friend and we know you'll tell us if and when you're ready. Even if you don't that's fine we don't care. Being your friend doesn't mean we have to know. Come on Dean and Jasper are waiting." She said about to lead me out of the changing room but I stopped her.
"Alice. Thank you." I called to her she just smiled and led me to where the boys were waiting with the rest of her family. "What's the matter darlin'?" Jasper asked concerned as Alice and I walked over.
"My sister telling the whole school that I'm a slut basically and I'm only talking to you to get in bed with you. Why the hell does she have to be like this?!" I growled angrily.

"Hey. Hey. Hey. Shhhh darlin it's okay. We know that's not true." Jasper said softly pulling me gently into a hug which I returned. After a few minutes he led me into the canteen his arm still around my shoulders ignoring everyone as they starred at us. As we were halfway across the canteen heading towards their table Jasper grabbed my hand and span me in a circle making me giggle. Once we reached the table he sat me down and grabbed me a salad, a apple and a bottle of water finally taking my money when I kept insisting. Once he returned with my food I thanked him as he just smiled softly at me sitting besides me with his arm across the back of my chair.

"Do you mind if I ask what're you having?" Rosalie asked hesitantly. I smiled and shook my head at her while I finished my bite of apple. I had noticed they weren't eating the food that was in front of them, but unlike my sister I don't pry into peoples business I respect their privacy, even if I had my suspicions. "No not at all." I smiled at her. "I'm having a little girl, Willow Amber Swan. My dad and a few close friends from the Rez designed a nursery for her even made the cots from scratch. They know I love Disney so they designed her nursery in white and grey with a little pink it's basically a Bambi themed nursery." I told them still really happy they had done that for me when they didn't have to.

"Is the father involved and why did you move here?" Edward asked abruptly. I froze at that almost dropping my water bottle if Jasper didn't steadied my shaking hand as his family glared at him. "No he's not." I spat at him glaring. "Even if he was it would be none of your business anyway." When Edward went to open his mouth again he was slapped around the back of the head by Dean.
"Shut the hell up!" Dean snapped at him. I was shocked they were acting so protective over me like this especially Jasper who was glaring holes into Edward he was almost growling.

"You don't have to tell us anything you don't want to darlin."Jasper assured glaring once more at Edward before turning his back on him dismissing him as he faced me wrapping his arm back around the back of the chair. I smiled in thanks as I picked at my salad for a bit the air around us tense and awkward. "I...I'm not ready to say somethings. But I was born here and came back here every holiday to spend it with my dad. I love nature and being with my dad. I hated living in Arizona there's too many people. Bella loved it there I don't know why she moved to be honest I don't believe the excuse she told mum."
"Jasper's right you don't have to tell us anything you don't want to." Emmett said smiling, I smiled in thanks at him who I had dubbed man-bear on the way here which made him laugh.

"Do you want to come over to our house tomorrow." Rosalie asked.
"I'd love to but I have an appointment at the hospital after school. Another time maybe?" I apologised.
"Of course." Rosalie smiled. "I hope everything is alright with Willow?"
"She's fine it's just a scan but thank you Rosie." I smiled.
"How're you going to get to the hospital darlin? I can't see Bella driving you after what she did today."
"I'm not sure really. Dad said he'll try and get off early but if he can't he said he'll meet me at the hospital." I said shrugging my shoulders.

"I can take you if you like?" Jasper suggested.
"I couldn't ask you to do that." I protested.
"You're not asking darlin'. I'm othering." Jasper assured rubbing the back of my shoulder soothingly.
"Thank you if you're sure you don't mind." I said he beamed back saying it was fine.

The rest of the day went rather smoothly after that. I rather enjoyed hanging out with the Cullens at lunch and talking to them in classes. In no time at all it seemed the bell rang signalling the end of lessons and Rosalie was walking me towards the office along with Jasper who had met me outside of my classroom as we talked about anything and everything. As we entered the office Bella barged past me knocking my shoulder and nearly knocking me over if wasn't for Rosalie and Jasper. "Watch it!" Rosalie growled at Bella who actually looked scared of her, good she should be.

I quickly handed in my slip to the lady behind the desk and bid Rosalie and Jasper bye as I quickly made my way to the truck so Bella couldn't leave me behind again. Getting in the truck I ignored Bella putting in my headphones listening to my music and waved goodbye to the Cullens as we made our way home first as we were meeting dad a bit later. As soon as we got home I went up to my room and made a start on my homework before we had to leave for the diner.

As soon as I finished all of my homework I placed what I would need into the folder to take to school tomorrow and the rest in a different folder in a draw in my desk. Stretching I stood up from my chair seeing I had a text from Jasper, we had swapped numbers in history. Checking the time I saw I had five minutes before we had to leave to meet dad.
Jasper: Hi darling I hope you're ok? Xx
Annalyssa: Hi Jasper I'm ok thanks are you? Xx
I quickly text back and left my room placing my phone into my pocket. "Bella we have to leave to meet dad." I called as I left grabbing the keys to the truck and got in the passenger side.

As I was waiting for Bella I felt my phone buzz again.
Jasper: I'm glad you're ok. And I'm ok darling all the better for talking to you xx
Annalyssa: why Mr Hale are you flirting with me ;) xx I text back with a smile on my face as Bella finally got into the truck.
Jasper: I'm sorry ma'am you're just easy to talk to and I love talking with you xx
Annalyssa: I feel the same way too Jasper I love talking to you as well xx
Jasper: That's good to know darling :) this may seem sudden but I would love to get to know you more. Would you like to go for dinner or hangout at some point? Xx
Annalyssa: I would love too Jasper xx I have to go now and have dinner with dad now and go to bed straight when I get home. I'll see you tomorrow at school xx
Jasper: Great. Okay darling have a nice time with your dad goodnight. See you tomorrow xx
Annalyssa: Goodnight Jasper xx

I smiled as I got out of the truck walking into the diner saying hello and giving Cora and uncle Waylon a hug before I gave dad a hug and a kiss to the cheek. "Hi daddy." I greeted.
"Hi princess, Hi Bella. I've ordered for you both, garden burger for you Bells and cod for you Anna hope that's alright?" Dad asked.
"That's great dad thank you." I said and tucked into it as soon as Cora brought it over silently watching as everyone tried to be welcoming to Bella but she wasn't having any of it, didn't even greet them politely. Rolling my eyes I turned to dad. "Did you make any friends princess?" Dad asked me.

"Yeah I made friends with pretty much all of the Cullens apart from Edward he was really rude about Willow." I said with a frown. Dad raised his eyebrow a frown appearing on his face.
"Oh, do I need to have a word?" Dad asked his voice tight in anger I knew he hated when people did that, especially Bella. But I shook my head at him. "No, dad it's fine. Jasper and his siblings sorted it and they stopped people from doing the same to me." I assured him my cheeks turning red slightly when I mentioned Jasper which dad caught.
"Oh, do you like Jasper then Lyssa?" Dad teased.

"He's really sweet dad. He offered to take me to the hospital for my scan tomorrow and it feels like I've known him for ages and he's a proper southern gentleman, dad." I assured him I know he was worried over what happened to me and I was too but I felt safe with Jasper. "I feel safe with him daddy and you know after....that I don't with men anymore.... I don't know he text me on the way here asking me if I wanted to hang out at some point when I want to." Dad smiled leaning forwards and hugging me tightly to him. I smiled closing my eyes as I hugged dad back just as tightly.
"Well, I'm glad Lyssa and I've met him in passing before he's a decent kid I know he'll do right by you. But I'll still check him out and shoot him if not." Dad told him seriously. I just laughed at how protective dad is as we finished our dinner and I headed home to bed pregnancy really does me in.
