Unimaginable Outcomes

(Natalie's POV)Thick fog was all I could see out my window in the morning, and I could feel the claustrophobia creeping up on me. You could never see the sky here; it was like a cage.Breakfast with Charlie and Bella was a quiet event. He wished us good luck at school and we thanked him, knowing his hope was wasted. Good luck tended to avoid us. Charlie left first, off to the police station that was his wife and family. After he left, we sat at the old square oak table in two of the three mismatched chairs and, while Bella finished her cereal, I examined the small kitchen, with its dark paneled walls, bright yellow cabinets, and white linoleum floor.Nothing was changed. My mother had painted the cabinets eighteen years ago in an attempt to bring some sunshine into the house. Over the small fireplace in the adjoining handkerchief-sized family room was a row of pictures. First a wedding picture of Charlie and Renee in Las Vegas, the

(Natalie's POV)We sat at the end of a full table with several juniors, who the girl from Spanish quickly introduced us to. I forgot all their names as soon as she spoke them. They seemed impressed by her bravery in speaking to us. The boy from English, Eric, waved at me from the other end of the table.It was there, sitting in the lunchroom, trying to make conversation with seven curious strangers that I finally saw them.They were sitting in the corner of the canteen, as far away from where I sat as possible in the long, rectangular room. There were five of them. They weren't talking, and they weren't eating, though they each had a tray of untouched food that sat in front of them. They weren't gawking at us, unlike most of the other students, so it was safe to stare at them without fear of meeting an excessively interested pair of eyes. But it was none of these things that caught and held my attention.The same golden haired guy from ea

(Jasper's POV)I took in a deep breath of the fresh air, allowing it to fill my lungs as I exited the foreign language building next to the gymnasium. Being closed into a small classroom with twenty-sum blood-filled human students gets extremely tedious after an hour.Emmett had been in that class with me and we chatted as we neared the gym.Just as we passed by the set of double doors, I felt someone bump into me and their books scattered all over the pavement. I knew who it was before I even had to look as the smell of lilacs and apples drifted up to my nose and an electric spark fluttered through me from where her bare skin had momentarily touched mine."Oh! I'm so sorry!" She apologized as her face turned a beautiful scarlet color. I gave her a lazy smile as I brushed it off, "It's quite alright. Can I help you with those?" I squatted down to assist her in gathering up her books and loose papers before the wind succeeded

(Natalie's POV)I followed the two boys with my eyes as they left the front office. I looked back at Bella and could see the devastation in her expression. I was immediately concerned.What could have possibly happened in the last 5 minutes to piss him off so rigorously? And what was up with Jasper's reaction? His eyes, which had been a beautiful deep golden as we stopped off at our lockers, had now become a threatening dark inky was almost as if his pupils had completely swallowed up his irises.Maybe it was a trick of the light?
