The bell rang, signaling the end of English and the beginning of lunchtime. English was probably Alice's strongest subject, and she had finished the class assignment within the first fifteen minutes. Of course she waited a few minutes longer before turning it in, so as not to arouse anyone's suspicions, but she was quite overly-eager. When bell finally sounded, she leapt gracefully to her feet and slung her book bag over her shoulder. As she made her way to the door, the teacher smiled at her and said, "You're paper was excellent, Ms. Cullen!" Alice's yellow eyes brightened a small smile crossed her face, despite the grumbles of the other students who filed out into the hall.
It seemed almost every teacher she had adored her. The students were an other story. It was very difficult for her to remain distant and to not make any friends, causing everyone to think she was cold. But she knew it was for the best. She danced down the hallway then, like a little pixie amongst a field of towering flowers. She had long ago gotten used to being smaller than everyone around her. Her smile widened as she made her way to the cafeteria, hoping that she might get to spend a little time with her family.

He sighed, watching the clock, waiting for the bell to ring. Next was lunch, he was looking forward to it mostly to be away from all his other classes. He didn't need school. He already knew what he was supposed to, and he Aced every class. What's the point? Of course, he was the first Cullen to the table. He didn't know if Bella and Edward were going to be at the table, or alone again. Now, Rosalie and Emmett were another story.. He couldn't guess if they were coming or not. But Alice.. He saw her across the cafeteria and smiled, seeing her own smile.
The thing he hated was that he couldn't be himself at school. Everyone thought they were 'adopted' brothers and sisters. Technically they were, but if any of them showed affection, well, who knows what the other students would think. They had to walk normal, too. That made everything else so slow. Leaning back slightly at the cafeteria table, he waited for Alice to join him.

Alice's smile only increased in size when she spotted Jasper across the room, sitting at their usual table. He was the only one there at the moment. Of course, she could never be sure whether Bella and Edward, or Emmett and Rosalie would show up. But Jasper was always there, without fail. Unless, of course, the boys all went on a hunting trip. The pixie-like girl made her way through the lunch line at an excruciatingly slow pace , only to keep up the charade.
Finally Alice made her way to the table and took her usual place across from Jasper. She hated the fact that she had to keep up the act that they were adopted siblings, but she knew it wouldn't be too long before that was over. And besides, they could always be themselves at home. She imagined it must be really horrible for Emmett and Rosalie, who were much more flamboyant about their relationship. As she sat, she smiled brightly and looked across at him before saying cheerfully, "How are you holding up?"

He smiled as she came closer, sitting down. She had to move so slow around these humans and he hated it. When she spoke, he smiled. Alright, I guess. I just hate how we have to pretend that we're related around these.. humans. he said, his voice low as to where only vampires could hear. He thought of getting a tray, but there was no point. They never ate it, anyway. So he decided to just sit back and talk for today. If they had to, he'd talk so only Alice could hear.

For a moment, Alice simply sat in silence and looked at Jasper as he spoke. For a brief second, her smile faded. She hated for him to be unhappy. And she suspected that, if not for her, he would probably be off somewhere doing what he wanted and not be tied down here. Finally, she replied, "Yes, I know. But we'll graduate before long." Then her smile returned faintly and she added, "And plus, school will be over soon." After lunch, there wasn't much left do for the day before they were dismissed. Immediately she began to make plans in her head. She wanted to go somewhere that might help to cheer Jasper up.

[ ooc; I've got a question.. Do the cullens ever kiss eachother? xD It wasn't in the book ever.. ]
He smiled as she spoke. True.. he said, watching as a small group of humans walked by obviously unable to hear what they were saying, and wanting to know. That was the part he loved about being a vampire. You could talk so low only another vampire would hear. And it drove everyone else crazy. So how's your day been? he asked, loud enough for anyone listening in to hear. If someone was going to listen in, you might as well make them think they're listening to nothing but casual talk. They'd stop eventually. Besides, anything they needed to keep private would be spoke in lower tones.

[ooc: lol, I actually don't know. Maybe its just when Bella's not around. XP]
Alice propped her elbow on the table and rested her chin in her hand as she pondered, and absentmindedly watched a small group of students pass by them. It was quite funny really. Everyone in this town was so interested in the Cullens, and didn't even know anything about them. What was the appeal? "Oh, it was good!" Alice answered cheerfully after she heard Jasper speak. She blinked a few times and mentally shook herself. The action temporarily reminded her that it been quite awhile since she had last had a vision. It kind of worried her a little, but she hadn't said anything to anyone about it yet. Then she looked back across over at Jasper and said quietly, with a small impish grin on her face, "Hey, it's Friday. After school, do you want to go the forest for awhile?" She knew he liked it there because it was peaceful. And there weren't any people around.

[ooc; we probably don't want to know what they do when Bella's not around XD]
He noticed her as she became lost in thought. Smiling, he listened as she spoke. Me and you? Of course. he said, smiling. He enjoyed the forest. He could be himself and do what he pleased. And, he wouldn't have to pretend to be related to anyone. Especially Alice. How long had it been since they'd actually been alone together? It had been a while.. He was looking forward to it. And the end of the school year. School was pretty much the reason he'd been upset. He didn't need it. He'd rather spend his time with Alice in the forest. Maybe playing baseball during a thunderstorm.

[OOC: lol! no kidding! my mind is forever corrupted!]
Alice's face brightened dramatically at Jasper's obvious positive response to her idea. It was high time they got to spend some real time together. There had hardly been any time for that at all lately. And though she enjoyed spending time with the rest of her family very much as well, she really did miss getting to be alone with Jasper. "Ok then!" she said cheerfully, proceeding to lower her voice so that only he could hear, "It's a date!" She was already very excited about it, waiting for the bell to ring at any moment.

[ ooc; xD be prepared at the forest. things may get a little.. heated xD ]
He noticed how her face brightened, hearing her thoughts. Smiling, he listened as she spoke. It's a date. he replied, his voice as low as hers had been. No doubt if they'd been talking normally, there'd be rumors. Sighing, he looked at the clock, noticing only a few more minutes. Looking back down, he gave a hard stare at a table of freshmen staring at him. He heard one of them, well, her thoughts, and pushed it from his mind, smiling as the bell rang. Standing up, he gave Alice a smile before walking off to his next class.
[ ooc; can you start the thread in the forest? ]
