During their 20 minute break, Bella took advantage of this time to seek out an empty spot under a tree, in the shade. She spotted Mary rushing over to her, probably to ask if she knew where Jasper was. --- Zane hurried away, seeking out silence instead of spending his break with his friends. He put both earphones in his ears, and blocked out all noise with music.

Rosalie felt Jasper following her with questioning eyes. For once, it felt as if those eyes were constantly there, and getting annoying. Rosalie was surprised--and horrified at herself--Jasper was only trying to help! It wasn't his fault! But he keeps breathing down my back! Shut up. He's being nice. Now you be nice and tell him kindly to leave. Rosalie nodded to herself and turned around. "Jazz," she said quietly, "I'm gonna cut, okay? Can you cover for me?" Jasper nodded. "Alright," he sighed, "Are you gonna talk to the office, or me?" "I will," she hugged him, "Thanks," "I'll see you later, kay?" he said. Rosalie knew what that meant. She'd have to tell him later. "Yeah," she said, "Thanks," she raced off.

"Hey, Bellllaaa," Mary looked like she was in an abnormally perky and annoying mood today. Mary only waited long enough for Bella to smile back, before she continued, "Today's the day; I'm going to go ask Jasper. On a date," She added, as if it wasn't obvious enough. Bella could feel the smile slide off her face. "Uh...I don't think that's a good idea..." There was no way to avoid disaster now; Bella was almost 100% sure that Jasper would say no. Didn't vampires have the tendancy to avoid a night alone with a human?
Of course Mary didn't listen, instead, she turned around, and bounced away over to where Jasper was. "Hi, Jasper," Mary said breathlessly. Behind her, Bella was watching nervously as if waiting for a bomb to explode.

"Hm?" he turned around, "Oh, hey, Mary," he greeted her, "Can I help you?" His eyes flitted to Bella's expression, and he wasn't so sure inviting Mary to talk was the smartest thing to do--not that he was sure in the first place. --- Ava walked by then, able to gather the scene quickly, she snickered and mouthed "No," to Jasper as she passed.

"Yeah, so I was wondering if you wanted to go to the Valentine's Day Dance. With me," she added. Surprisingly enough, she didn't look remotely embarassed at all, in fact, if anything, Mary looked pretty confident.
Bella closed her eyes, praying that Mary wouldn't cry or do anything stupid. She did not want to have to spend the rest of her week watching Mary sob on her shoulder or something like that.

"Oh... Er..." Jasper frowned. He actually wasn't planning to go at all. How does one say that kindly? Even as he said it, it sounded rather rude to him, "Yeah... Mary, sorry, no. I wasn't planning to go in the first place,"
Ava chuckled quietly, and continued walking, head down and hidden by her hat.

For the briefest moment, Mary wore an expression that one might have worn if they had just gotten slapped. But then, she smiled a "Bella-smile" then said, "Okay then," rather cheerfully. She hurried back over to where Bella was. "You okay?" Bella asked cautiously. "Yup, totally," Mary responded, sounding fine. "I shoulda seen that coming anyway," she added. "Really, why?" Again, cautiously. Mary smiled miscivously. "Everyone knows he likes you,"
Mary ran away with Bella chasing after her with a red face.

Jasper pretended not to hear what Mary had said about him liking Bella, but like everybody else in the courtyard, watched the two with amusement. Ava popped up beside Jasper. "Where's Blo--Rosalie?" she asked. Old habit. Nobody in the ghetto called nobody by their real name. They just called them what they felt like. "Skipping," Jasper shrugged.

*** The bell rang. Bella had just caught Mary, but was promptly interupted. "I'll get you at lunch..." She had half a mind to cut; but she hadn't actually had a full day in a long time.

Jasper chuckled and Ava and him began walking towards their next class.

>>> Bella sat underneath a tree next to Mary. "Well, it was fun...I guess." Bella said lamely, before Mary could as the inevitable unasked question.
"I never asked..."
"Yeah, but you were going to." She smiled, knowing her friend all too well. Privately, she wondered if Rosalie was feeling okay after yesterday.

"You may not want to talk so loud," Ava appeared, her petite frame shoving in between them. She turned to Bella, "Half the school is already talking about how you went on a date with Jasper," she said matter-of-factly, "Apparently, things don't stay secret very long around here. Especially with this chick," she jerked her thumb at Mary.

>>> Her mouth dropped open. Ava could've said that alien martians attacked the world and kidnapped all the chickens in the world, and Bella's expression would've been no different.
"What? But it wasn't a date."
She shot a look at Mary, who shrugged. "Hey, I only told a few people. Guess they were blabber-mouths."

"Plus, Frankie and Jessie saw you guys together," Ava continued on. She then turned to Mary, "You told people who told people, so it doesn't matter anyway. It's out,"

>>> Mary, feeling guilty, turned to Bella and said, "I'm sorry, Bells. I really am. But I honestly don't see what's such a big deal? I mean, you don't hate him or anything...right?"
"No...." Mumble mumble.
"Then why're you so touchy about the subject?"
Bella shot a pleading look to Ava through her hair. Ava knew about the whole vampire separation thing.
