Calliope Swan is the younger twin sister of Bella Swan. The two of them are moving to Forks Washington to give their mother time with her new husband Phil. As the two sisters attend Forks High School they find themselves drawn to the Cullen family...
It's been a few weeks since the incident with Tyler's van. Bella and Edward's relationship has remained the same. One day he wants to be around her the next day he doesn't. It's all very confusing. Jessica and Angla invited Bella and I dress shopping for the homecoming dance this Saturday.
Earlier in the week Bella and I went with them to La Push beach. Bella invited Edward but he didn't come. We ran into Jacob while we were there. He told us about this legend of the cold ones as we walked along the beach. He claimed that it was just a scary story but Bella didn't seem convinced.
The next day at school Mike asked Bella to the dance. She made up some lie that she'd be going to Jacksonville that weekend and couldn't get out of it. I convinced him to ask Jessica instead, which he did. Angela asked Eric and Tyler asked Lauren. Despite Bella 'not being in town' for the dance Jessica insisted that she and Angela need both of our opinions on what dress they get.
Today, the last day of the school week, I dressed in a Disney themed outfit. A grey short-sleeved T-shirt that has Tinkerbell on it and says 'don't grow up it's a trap.' A pair of sparkly black leggings and Neverland themed converse.

"Do you like Jasper?" Bella asks as we make our way to school.
"Of course I like him, he a really nice person."
"I mean 'like' 'like', as in more than friends."
My eyes widen and I laugh nervously, "W-What? W-why do you ask t-that?"
"I'm just wondering, you act differently around him."
I bite my lip, "Well uh I don't know, okay."
Bella turns to look at me as she parks, with a knowing smirk. "You sure about that?"
"J-just d-drop it Bells," I get out of the car as fast as I can, speed walking my way to the school to avoid her accusations.
Do I like Jasper like that?
The question plagues me the entire day. In history class, as I sat next to Jasper I turned into a nervous, fidgety, weirdo. Nothing I said came out right. My face seemed to be permanently red the whole time.
"Hello Calliope, " Jasper smiles and for a moment I forget to breathe.
"Hi-lo," What the hell was that?!
My eyes widen as I desperately try to un embarrass myself.
"I mean hi..er no wait uh hello. I was gonna say hello and then I changed my mind to hello."
"Its right darlin' I know what you meant." He appears unfazed by my rambling as he continues to smile at me.
I fidget with my fingers, too afraid to speak in fear that I would say something stupid.
He leaned forward and caught my hand, pressing it between his own. The touch was like white fire through my veins. I had wondered once why love was always phrased in terms of burning. The conflagration in my own veins, now, gave the answer. My fidgeting ceased as I stared at him as if in a trance. I noticed after a while that his hand is as cold as ice, but I remained unfazed as I continued to stare.
"Calliope?" His voice brought me back to life.
"You're gorgeous," I murmured.
"Thank you," He smirks, letting go of my hand.
The loss of contact acted like a bucket of ice water and I realized, much to my horror, that I called him gorgeous...to his face.
"I uh...I mean..your..not...wait no, you are! No...er..uh I mean...uh..your hot! Wait...what?"
The whole class went dead silent, staring at Jasper and me.
"Ms. Swan if you could refrain from complimenting Mr. Hale we are in the middle of class. This is your only warning, no more disrupting the class."
"Y-yes sir," I looked down at my desk, way too embarrassed to look up.
"You don't have to be nervous darlin', thank you for the compliments," Jasper whispers in my ear.
"Y-your welcome," I whisper.
I remain quiet for the rest of the class.
When the bell rings I mutter a quick goodbye to Jasper before dashing out of the room and to my next class. At lunch, I couldn't even look at Jasper. I picked at my food instead.
No one seems to notice as Alice went on about some fashion event. I did notice that Edward and Bella were sitting together at the table by themselves. I would have to ask her about it later.
When the school day finally ended I couldn't be more relieved. Bella didn't question me about my feelings for Jasper, which I was grateful for. She was lost in her own thoughts.
At home, I finished my homework before letting my worries go as I slipped into littlespace. I dressed in one of my favorite onesies, placed all my stuffies on the bed with me, and turned on cartoons.

As I sat there watching cartoons my mind drifted to Jasper. The way he makes me feel, I've never felt this way. I don't like him like that...do I? No..I couldn't...could I? Maybe.
The more I thought about it the more I became convinced.
