>>> Bella managed to pick out Mary from the thick crowds. She was glad that she hadn't spotted a sight of Aaron anywhere.
"Hey, Mary." She took a deep breath. "I'm sorry about earlier. In fact, my weekend was anything but normal."
She nodded. Mary didn't say anything to prompt her friend further, but it was obvious that she was a little curious. Bella glanced around, then pulled Mary closer and started to whisper quickly into her ear.
Had anyone been passing and looking at the two, they'd probably notice how Mary's eyes grew larger and larger, to a point where they bugged out; literally. When Bella finally withdrew, Mary said rather loudly, "Holy crap Bella! Why didn't you tell me earlier that you two k---,"
She was cut off when Bella said, "Shut up! These things are supposed to be kept quiet!" A couple people around stared.

Jasper cornered Aaron, growling.
"What the hell are you doing here?!" he hissed under his breath.
Rosalie stood in Jasper's shadow, observing Aaron quietly with her large amber eyes.

>>> He pulled a little innocent expression. It wasn't overplayed, Aaron's expression was convincing. But of course, he knew it wouldn't work on the two vampires.
"Attending school, of course." He said patiently, like he was explaining to a little boy that you don't eat mud, "Education is important, isn't it?"
>>> Mary kept drilling Bellal with awkward questions. How was it? Is he a good kisser? Tell me exactly what happened! etc.
Bella tried to steer the conversation away by asking Mary about the "new guy".
"He's hot." Was the first thing that came out of her mouth.

"Which is why you have never attended before without sneaking in to rape some human or whatever?" Jasper spat.
Rosalie glanced over at Bella and Mary, who were gossiping eagerly. She heard snatches of their conversation over the other humans' loud conversations.

>>> His eyes flashed angrily, but not in a challenging way. Yes he was fond of human blood, but that accusation was completely out there. Killing for thirst? Yeah. Raping? Hell no.
"You would know, wouldn't you? What, with sneaking around after school making out with some human girl who's blood you like?"
His tone was still completely unchallenging, Aaron's eyes clear of anger, but there was a hint of menace in his tone. Still, to humans looking on, it would look like he was an innocent pawn.
>>> She chewed her lip thoughtfully. It was soo like Mary. Still, she wanted to talk to Rosalie now, not her over-eager friend who was bursting with information on a vampire.

The first thing Jasper felt was shock. How did he know that?!
"Well," he hissed, "I actually did it for a reason! You just do it for the hell of it!"
Rosalie touched Jasper's arm gently. Relax for a second. Don't push him too far, she warned with her eyes. "We don't want anything to happen in public, do we, boys?" she murmured, eyes flashing dangerously as she looked up to Aaron's eyes.

>>> He shrugged. Aaron knew he hit a tense nerve. Besides, the other vampire was right. A random public pile of snapping testosterone was never a good thing. He walked away without another word.
>>> Bella had asked if Mary knew where Rosalie was. She was secretly hoping that wherever she was, she would hear her name being mentioned and pick up the hint. "I just wanna talk to her, that's all." Bella replied, when questioned why by Mary.

"Just let it go," Rosalie murmured as Jasper started to go after him.
He sighed.
"Bella's calling, c'mon," Rosalie led him towards Mary and Bella.
She greeted them with a smile, and elbowed Jasper to do the same. --- Ava chirped a happy hello to Aaron as she popped up beside him. "So how was last period?" she asked.
Okay, yeah. Aaron was dangerous. A dangerous drug. Ava couldn't help herself. She was definitely attracted to him, probably because of his utter sexiness. And Ava hadn't swooned over a guy in years--yet here she was, smiling joyfully at a vampire. Vampire.
Did she mention he was a vampire?

>>> Mary uttered a see-through fake casual hello.
Damn. Bella had wanted to talk to Rosalie...and the subject was sort of...well...one that required no one else around.
"Uh, hi. Mary was just telling me about the new hot guy." She was shooting silent pleas towards Rosalie.
>>> "It was okay." Aaron replied, his irritation to the other vampires forgotten. "Except for some other vampire who tried to beat the crap out of me."

"Oh, really?" Ava said, "Who was it?"
Rosalie and Jasper were normally welcoming, but Ava didn't really know other vampires in the school. Bewildering. --- "Hm," Rosalie shrugged, "I don't think he's that cute..."
"Ugly," Jasper agreed bluntly.

>>> "I have no idea." He lied smoothly. It sounded convincing. "I'm not even a full vampire. Though, he obviously didn't know that."
>>> Damn! She hadn't picked up Bella's weak silent pleas. She could've just said she wanted to talk to Rosalie alone, except it'd be rude to both Mary and Jasper.
Mary was blabbing about something, but Bella wasn't even listening. She was looking everywhere except for at Jasper. Mostly she was looking at Rosalie, though.
"Rosalie, can I talk to you?" She said, bluntly cutting off Mary. She left the last word alone chopped off.

"Yeah, sure," Rosalie shrugged, gently pushing Jasper away and muttering in his ear, "Try not to murder Aaron,"
She led Bella slightly away from the groups. --- "What else are you?" Ava asked curiously.
Does it strike you to ask him why somebody tried to murder him?! she snapped, My God! I'll do it after he answers this question!

>>> "Human." He replied. Aaron had already guessed that Ava was a switcher. Her scent was definietly not vampire, nor was it half-breed.
>>> Bella made Rosalie trek further. She could've be sure if Jasper could hear them, but it was worth a shot. She took a deep breath. Asking Rosalie this question? She may as well as packed herself with an apple and waited at Aaron's doorstep.
"Uh...how do you feel?" She chickened out, and asked her the polite question instead.
>>> Mary watched her friend herd Rosalie away. A few seconds later, she said, "She's really embarassed."

"Hm," she said thoughtfully, "So... Why did the vampire attack you?"
There was a rather nervous, frightened tone to her voice, but she did her best to hide it. --- "Okay," Rosalie shrugged, nonchalant, "You?"

>>> "I---" Aaron had been about to lie again, except he found the lie lodged in his throat. For some reason, he couldn't say it. "I haven't the faintest idea...but don't think about it. I'm fine." He managed his smile not to look too forced.
>>> "Fine. Uh, you know what happened yesterday...." Bella looked a little meek.
