Feeling Alone *Mikaela*

[Jasper Hale]

Jasper disliked being the person that was always alone in his family. Edward had Rosalie, Alice had Emmett, and Carlisle had Esme. Jasper was alone, and he was the last one to join. Sometimes it made his hunger for human blood stronger just because he didn't want to be around all of the lovey dovey people and he just wanted to take his anger out on something.

Alas here he was sitting at the lunch table at the far edge and he had the urge to make his siblings mad at each other. It would be funny, but Edward already heard the thought and gave him a dirty look. So here he sat awaiting the bell to ring so that he could go to his classes and get the day over with. He let his eyes scan around the room just staring off into space. He hadn't even touched his lunch and he kind of felt like it was a neon sign that they weren't human.

[Mikaela Hart]

Mikaela has settle into school pretty well. She was feeling like she was getting the lay of the land so to speak. She didn't know too many of the students right now. Of course there were students who told her about the Cullen's. A couple of students had pointed them out to her. Of course those student told her it was best to stay clear of them. The Cullen's kept to themselves.
With that said Mikaela interested only peaked a little more. It was lunch time and she looked over at the table The Cullen's were occupying. She could see Edward, Rosalie, Emmett and Alice who were happy together. Jasper sat there not touching his food to much. She decided to ignore everyone advice to keep her distance from the Cullen's. She got up from where she was sitting and headed over to the Cullen's table. She stopped right in front of Jasper.
"Hello, my name is Mikaela Hart. Do you mind if I sit here?" Mikaela softly asked. She hoped he wouldn't tell her to go away and mind her own business. It was good to get knew friends. She hoped she could consider Jasper Hale as a friend.

[Jasper Hale]

Jasper was lost in space, but he took notice of the scent of human growing stronger. That meant someone was getting closer to him and his family. He looked and saw a girl approaching the table. He thought he heard Edward snicker a little and wondered what it was about. He found out soon enough.

She introduced herself as Mikaela and he knew that saying no would make them seem even more like an elusive family, but if he said yes he might cause more trouble for his family than it was worth. He looked at the table and saw that his family occupied all of the chairs. That made it easy for him to say no, but he was tired of looking at all of the lovey dovey couples. He had almost considered leaving the Cullens and going back on his normal diet, but having a family was nice and he didn't want to give it up.

"Sure Mikaela you can sit here, but you will have to pull up a seat." He said with a smile. He knew it was pretty much saying screw you to his family, but he didn't really care at that point because he was lonely and he just wanted someone to hang out with.

[Mikaela Hart]

His voice was quiet and with a southern accent. She had to admit she did think it was easy on the ears. She didn't know any of the Cullens that well, but she thought it would be nice for them to have some friends who weren't aware of how they had acted before.

She glanced over to see Emmett and Alice their hands were intwined. They looked nice together. Then she looked over at Edward and Rosalie. Rosalie leaned against Edward's arm. She was smiling. Mikaela could tell there was something different about them she just couldn't place a finger on it just at the moment. She could tell the others where happy. She just thought that Jasper could use a friend. It would be good to have a new friend in this town. This town wasn't that big so there wasn't to many people.

Mikaela heard Jasper reply.His smile made her goes a bit weak in the knees. She needed to get a chair. Her attention was to get that now. She went over and grabbed a chair which was empty at the next table. She placed the chair next to Jasper. Then she sat down in it. She wasn't sure how to start a conversation with him. Well if all fail goes with a simple question.
"So how's your day going?" Mikaela asked him.

[Jasper Hale]

Jasper watched her intently and listened to her emotions. He could tell that she was calm. He couldn't really get a read on if she was nervous around them or not, but guessing by her desire to sit with them she had no idea that they could tear her limb from limb and not even blink.

He knew how his family looked to everyone around town, and they kept it that way. They were a family of adopted people, and everyone was with each other, well except Jasper was the odd man out. He didn't mind all the time, but it did get lonely being the one man without a woman to keep him company. He knew he couldn't get close with a human just because of his issues with blood, but he would deal with them if he ever fell in love with a human.

Jasper watched Mikaela grab her chair, and sit right next to him. Most people would just avoid the family, but he must have stood out in the crowd because she picked him out right away. When she asked how his day was going he smiled slightly. "It's going pretty good. The usual school day." He replied to her question. He then countered with a question of his own. "How is your day going, being the new person and all?"

[Mikaela Hart]

Mikaela felt safe right next to Jasper. It just seemed to just click with her. It was the feeling of feeling safe around him. There was something mysterious about him. She knew a good mystery when she saw one. This was defiantly one. She wasn't surprised when there was a question after Jasper's answer. She paused for a moment to get a reply ready for him. She thought about her life and then what had been said during her brief time in school. Since she started there were a lot of student who told her to stay away from the Cullens. Of course she wasn't going to let other people run her life and she wasn't about to go off of information which she got second handed.
"That's good to hear. My day is going well,aside from the others students warning to stay away from you guys. I decided to come over and see what all the fuss is about. I hope that in the end we can be friends." Mikaela said. This wasn't exactly what she wanted to say, but it was best to keep her mouth shut for now. There was certain things she wanted to say to Jasper, but she didn't want to say it around his family.

[Jasper Hale]

Jasper had to think of what she said. He could tell that she was feeling attracted toward him, and he didn't like that. He had enough trouble keeping his thirst in check, and he had to try to keep everything in order. He didn't want to give away the family secret, but at the same time he didn't want to cause them to have to move.

"You would do well to listen to them."He told her concerning the other kids telling her to stay away from his family. He thought he heard something on her mind, like a spike in her emotions, but he couldn't place it, and he didn't really feel the need to worry about it. He wondered what would happen if he did tell her his family secret, but caught Edward following his train of thought. He shook off the thought and he hoped that this girl would go away soon enough.

[Mikaela Hart]

Now Mikaela looked over at. She had heard what he had said. She wasn't sure exactly why she was going to ignore what other say about other people. It was more like she wanted to get to know the person and make her own opinion of them . This was no different. By the tone of his voice she could tell he wanted her to do exactly what other people have done before. There was something which shifted. She couldn't tell exactly what it was, but it was there and she was going to figure out why Jasper was being the way he was.

She did catch the look Edward was given to Jasper. Okay so maybe it might be a good idea to leave well enough alone. Who know maybe over time they could at least be friends.. Who know it might be even more then that. Mikaela looked over at Jasper.
"I am not going to listen to other people. I want to develop and opinion on my own." Mikaela said.
