Jasper Greenleaf's Story

When Jasper noticed the powerful aura from the bus, after three or four buses, he realized that this one was the right one. Sapphire tugged at his sleeve and hid behind him as they got on. There were two seats, but they both had someone in them. After making someone move he let his sister take the window seat. Both of them got weird looks and he glared at anyone who looked at Saph, who was shifting in her seat. He noticed a few more Fae, but they didn't seem to notice him.

After the bus had stopped at the school, Sapphire made it clear that she wanted them to be the last off. She watched as her brother let the others pass them by, and they soon rushed off the bus. They listened to the girl at the front of the crowd finish what she was saying.
"D-dorms? Jasper, I don't want a roommate." She mumbled into his back, clinging way more than needed.
"It's alright, I don't think they'll be any problem. Come on, lets go meet some people." He walked away, and she followed him, trying to avoid stares.

Jasper noticed another fae, by her aura, who was just standing around and decided to introduce himself and his sister. He coughed before talking.
"Hello, my name's Jasper. This is my sister Sapphire. May I ask your name?" He said kindly and respectively, feeling his sister's fingers tighten against his back. 'She's way to shy for her own good' He thought silently, not wanting to accidentally say it out loud.

Jasper looked at the other two fae, both unsurprisingly upbeat. This is a new world after all, to them at least, and with that came new kinds of pranks. He smiled and nodded at her question about Saph.

"Yea she's like that around a lot of new people. I'm actually kind of scared of what will happen if she gets a vampire roommate or something. I hope she makes a good friend." Phaedra and Calli huh? Interesting. When Calli speaks again it drags him out of his thoughts.

"Is this your guys' first time here? I'd be happy to show you guys around, if you want." She says and he nods, grabbing Saphs hand and pulling her out from behind him, her all to short skirt swishing up in the process. He cuss's under his breath and glares at anyone who noticed. She yelps and blushes, shifting back and forth and gripping on his arm.

"We'd love for you to show us around." He replies. "We've never been to a school before so that would be quite helpful." Sapphire nods and stops shifting, still holding onto his arm though. He smiles kindly at them both.

Sapphire holds onto his arm and looks at the ground, irritated and how short the skirt is. A blush still across her face from her skirt flipping. She notices how her brother talks, and wants to socialize too. Though she doesn't really know what to say.

"Um. . It's nice to meet you guys. I'm happy my brother and I aren't the only fae. . ." She says quietly, fiddling her thumbs.

Calli smiles, "Great! Wow, never before in your life?! This has to be kinda scary then, huh?" The smaller girl, Sapphire, comes out from behind and her short skirt swishes and reveals a little too much. "Oh dear, you might want to ask for a different uniform, Sapphire. Katherine doesn't like it very much if things aren't up to par." Calli turns to Jasper and nods at his vampire comment, having a delayed response but still responding. "Yea she's like that around a lot of new people. I'm actually kind of scared of what will happen if she gets a vampire roommate or something. I hope she makes a good friend." Calli shudders, moving her hand to her neck where Amber had bitten her six months ago. "I understand." She got in close enough so that others wouldn't hear but not close enough to make Jasper feel weird. "I don't trust the vampires here. Katherine is nice enough, but it's not like we're buddy buddy. Just, even if they seem nice, I wouldn't befriend them. They'll turn on you for sure."

She leaned back out, looking around. Sapphire said something, and Calli smiled generously. "Oh don't worry about that, there's always many of one kind here. In fact, I know of at least one other," Looking around, she saw a fae she remembered from when she was here last. "There's another standing over there, his name is Tulio. I don't really know him that well but just thought I'd point him out. If you ever want to know someone, just ask me. My father makes me learn all of the fae names for politics, since I'm supposed to take the throne when I'm older, but I just find it's too much to remember." Calli didn't mean to make it known that she was the king's daughter, and internally scolded herself and her blabbermouth, but hopefully they didn't notice and call her out on it. She would hate it if they changed they're opinion of her if they knew.

"Okay, it looks like we're done with introductions. Is there anything in particular you guys want to see first?" She asked hurriedly, trying to move on and not make it obvious.

"Oh don't worry about that, there's always many of one kind here. In fact, I know of at least one other,There's another standing over there, his name is Tulio. I don't really know him that well but just thought I'd point him out. If you ever want to know someone, just ask me. My father makes me learn all of the fae names for politics, since I'm supposed to take the throne when I'm older, but I just find it's too much to remember." Jasper listens as she talks and acts calm when she mentions the throne. 'So she's a royal?' He thinks, fiddling with his sister's hair. "Okay, it looks like we're done with introductions. Is there anything in particular you guys want to see first?" He looks up and looks over to Phae, realizing that they hadn't really included her there.

"I only need to be taken to my dorm... The rest I can figure out on my own," He smiles at her speaking now that there was a chance, feeling slightly guilty that they had excluded her. Sapphire looks over and smiles shyly at her, noticing that she was standing awkwardly.
"I hope one of you are my roommate I don't think I can handle anyone else. She says, kindly and meaning for Phae to answer, since she hadn't been able to speak before. I play with her hair again before speaking myself.

"We should get going soon, before it starts to get dark." He looks over at the big building and takes in it's beauty, noticing that there are still a bit of student standing around. "Besides I wan't to get Saph that new uniform soon."

Calli winced as Phae started her sentence, but smiled gratefully when she left it alone. As far as she could tell, Jasper and Sapphire didn't notice but he had a good pokerface going so she really couldn't tell. All the three of them seemed to only want to get to their rooms and Calli smiled brightly and nodded. "Well, to be honest, I don't think there are room assignments yet, so if you guys want we can hang out till then?" She smiled hopefully. She really hoped they would all agree. Since she had left, all of her friends had moved on and graduated, but she still had to finish her senior year. "The bubble tea at the cafe is to die for. If you ask nice, they'll even add some orchid essence to the tapioca bubbles. It's the perfect thing when your stressed out or nervous." She smiled again and hearing Jasper's comment about Sapphire's questionable attire, she pursed we lips and then held up a finger excitedly, the universal motion for she had an idea.

"If you want Sapphire, I have a super cute dress that would fit you, and cover everything up. It's not a uniform, but I'm sure Katherine will understand if we explain it's only temporary." She smiled brightly and then looked at Phae, her mind already bouncing to another topic. "Oh, by the way, I love your hair color! I tried getting it to that when I was little with some magic but it didn't work at all! It just ended up giving me white streaks in my bright blue hair, NOT a sight to see let me tell you that." She smiled for about the tenth time that conversation and looked around the group appraisinly. "So? What do y'all say?"

Sapphire nods at her offer. "Thanks. Maybe then there won't be as many people on Jasper's To-Kill list." She giggles at that and gasps when her brother grabs her ponytail. He slightly tugs and leans his head towards it, still looking at Calli.

"Oh this? We were born with it this color, but it made hiding in winter helpful. Didn't it Sis?" His voice is sarcastic and playful as he says this and slightly tugs, she yelps in pain but jabs him with her elbow.

"Really? Cause you seemed to have trouble hiding." She replies quickly, stomping on his foot. He tugs harder on her ponytail and she squeals. "Ow! Stop!" She elbows him again and pulls herself free, glaring at him.

"There's the Saph I know! Calli we'd be glad to take you up on that offer." He says, inspecting his sister's head for any damage and eventually just pulling out the ponytails, and runnin his fingers through her hair.

"What about you Phae? You gonna come too?" She asks, a bit more cheerful.

Cameron smiled at Serenity, but then stopped when she saw her crying again. Cameron sighed and was about to sat something to try and make her friend better. But usually that back fired and she only made it worse. She kept quiet until she heard Serenity say ,'' “Cameron… you know I’m not…” Cameron felt bad, she wanted to say something and she knew what Serenity was going to say. Cameron took a deep breath and looked up at Serenitie's face. Cameron hated being shorter than her best friend, she wasn't that much shorter, just by two inches. Cameron looked her in the eyes, she saw the same little girl that she met eleven years ago. '' I-I can’t do it!” Cameron sighed deeply and couldn't say anything, her words wouldn't come out, it's like when she tried to talk, her words were silent.

Cameron looked down at Serenitie's hands and saw them balled up into fists, she knew that the next thing wasn't going to be very good. Cameron braced herself for Serenitie's loud voice, '' “I hate it here already! There are too many people and this stupid uniform doesn’t even fit me!” Cameron covered her ears and bent down, Serenitie's voice was much louder than she expected it to be. Cameron put her hands on Serenitie's shoulders and said, '' Please, calm down. You're too loud.'' Cameron said in a soft voice, speaking in a soft tone usually calmed Serenity down. But in this case, no at all. Serenity just quickly turned around and ran away,before she got too far Cameron heard her say, '' “I just want to go home…” Cameron sighed and chased after her. Cameron had to squeeze between students talking, some sitting down and some standing. At one point, she could have sworn she felt someone touch her butt, she turned her head and she could have sworn it was the same guy on the bus that was looking at Serenity. Cameron glared at him and stuck her pinky up at him and turned back around and went to go find Serenity, again.

Calli giggles at Sapphire and Jasper's little sibling bickery. In originality she was speaking to Phae about her hair, but the she didn't seem to notice. When Phae mentioned he had never had bubble tea Calli let out a shocked gasp. "Oh my goodness it's the best! Now you have to come, pleaaase?" Sapphire asked Phae too as Calli squealed excitedly when she said yes. "Yay! Okay, let's go. Sapphire, I'll give you that dress when we get to the cafe . They have restrooms there you can change in."

Calli started walking in the direction of the cafe. "So, you guys excited to start classes?" Calli knew she was, considering it would be a total breeze for her. She had already had these classes for the beginning of the year last year and then she had been pulled out so she was having to take the same senior level classes again this year. It was going to be easy peasy.

When they reached the cafe, Calli ordered 4 orchid essence bubble teas and picks a booth in the corner. "So! Where is everyone from?"

While neither Sapphire or Jasper commented on her cat, they certainly didn't ignore it. All they had ever seen growing up were wildcats, and only a kitten could fit into a bag. While following Calli they both contemplated how this would work.
"Now children, this is a wildcat." Me and my sister stare wide-eyed at the large feline, that's what dad told us they were, and Sapphire jumps out to pet the kittens. Father grabbed her and pulled her back, tuning us all invisible. "You must never attempt to touch their children, they are very protective!" Sapphire shivers and mumbles sorry at least a million times.

"So, you guy's excited to start classes? Calli's voice brought them out of their flashback and they both looked silently at each other, shaking their heads. They didn't want to go here? They wanted to be home with their parents, they wanted to get taught and take care of the forest. Not go to some school with a bunch of other supernatural.

"No. No we aren't, we don't even want to be here." Sapphire answered, her voice turning cold. Even if Calli begged that's all either of them would, or could say. The rest of the walk was quiet, and when they got to the cafe they stayed silent still. Sapphire looked around they small building and noticed many people, starting to feel shy again. She stared intently at the artwork, her face blank.

"So! Where is everyone from?" Jasper and Sapphire stayed silent, knowing that if they answered they would break into tears. Jasper watched his sister's supposedly blank face, and noticed how upset and close to tears she was. When the tea came they both drank it happily. The tea was amazing, and he loved the way it warmed his stomach. While Sapphire drank hers he could tell that it was too strong for her. He knew she was being polite, but doesn't like her drinking something if she doesn't like it.

"Well I think it's around time Saph and I find our dorms. Phae, you should head to yours soon too." It having been a while since anyone said anything, and both Jasper and Sapphire having finished their drinks, stood up. They walked out, and made their way back to the schoolyard. Jasper lead them inside and started for a map. Luckily their parents taught them how to read maps and he was able to find both dorms. There was one problem, the boys and girls had different dorms. That was probably usual, but for a pair of twins who were never apart this was devastating.

"Jasper I don't want to be in a dorm." Sapphire whispered, poking him. He ignored her and just walk in the direction of her dorms. Family members were allowed in the dorms as far as he knew, so he decided to check out her room with her. Mainly he wanted to know who and what her roommate is. Most would say he's overprotective, but he has no reason not to be. Not only that but she didn't want a dorm, which just caused him to worry over it more.

Cameron had been walking for some time. She was alone, in a new place and had no idea where to go. This is usually when she needed Serenity. Cameron sighed and looked at the different students. She walked down a hall and took a right, she then took a left and took another right. She ended up right where she started, she took a deep breath and tried to calm down. Cameron looked around for some people to ask, she then saw two people, one was a girl, and the other was a boy. Cameron thought they looked nice enough to talk to, so she walked up to them and said, '' Um, hi. My name's Cameron Howell. And you are?'' She said with her hand stretched out for a hand shake. She looked at the boy and blushed, even though he wasn't her kind, she thought he was cute.

Jasper looked over at the girl who was holding out her hand. She looked nice. Jasper shook her hand.
"I'm Jasper, this is my twin Sapphire. You look a little lost." Jasper said, and Sapphire shifted her feet next to him. Being around this many people was hard on her, and Jasper knew it. It's hard for him too, the only people either of them ever knew were their parents.

Cameron looked at Jasper and smiled, she shook his hand and her hand fell back to her side. ''I'm Jasper, this is my twin Sapphire. You look a little lost.'' Cameron heard Jasper say, Cameron smiled sheepishly and said, '' Yeah, I am. I just can't find my dorm. My friend might need help finding the dorm later as well.'' She said as she rubbed the back of her head. Cameron straitened her stance and said, '' So, where are you two off to? The dorms as well, I guess?'' Cameron said as she looked around for Serenity, she still couldn't see her, so she only sighed and looked back at Jasper and Sapphire. And waited for a response.
