He got out and opened my door for me. As we walked towards the building, I could see people staring. Not only at Jasper's car, but at us too. I could see the questions in their eyes.

I saw Angela walking toward me cautiously.

"Hey, Bella," she said, quietly greeting me.

"Hi, Angela," I waved. She looked next to me and saw Jasper standing there.

"Hello, Jasper," she said. I was impressed that she even said anything else. Jasper could be so intimidating, and Angela was… well, Angela.

"Good morning, Angela," said Jasper. I felt the atmosphere change slightly.

"See you in class, Bella!" said Angela, a little more enthusiastically than I expected.

"Uh-huh," I murmured, trying not to smile.

After she had walked away I turned to Jasper. "Think you overdid the eagerness a bit?" I asked, finally letting out the laugh that I'd been holding in. It was rare that Angela was ever enthusiastic about anything. It was entertaining to witness.

"I don't know what you're talking about," he replied. I could see the edge of his lips twitching. He was trying not to smile.

I jabbed him in the ribs and he let out the laugh. I turned to walk away but he grabbed my arm and pulled me back. He found the spot on my side that made me laugh like a crazy person when someone tickled me there. Nobody knew about my crippling ticklishness except, of course, the entire Cullen family.

When I was done laughing, I stood up and glared at Jasper. Tickling me wasn't fair at all, especially because you can't tickle a vampire back.

Jasper wasn't looking at me though. He was looking all around us. I followed his glance and saw what he was looking at.

Every single person who stood outside school was staring at us. I felt my cheeks redden and knew I must look like a tomato by now.

I scanned the crowd and every single person had a look of shock on their faces. All except for Alice and Edward.

They both looked absolutely livid. They looked at us as if we'd betrayed them. I could see Edward's face become more and more twisted while Jasper looked at him. He was obviously reading Jasper's thoughts. I was glad I didn't know what was going on in Jasper's head right now.
