Fresh schedule in hand, A map of the school to accompany it, Risa ducked back out of the office and hurriedly got back in her car, trying to ignore the drip of rainwater from her jacket on to the dark washed pair of jeans she was wearing. She was momentarily grateful that she wasn't wearing a white T-shirt for her first day, speckles of water almost invisible against the dark red of her rib knit sweater, something that surely would have made her stand out among her peers and had jokes plaguing her for months. She could almost imagine a ghost of a conversation, people discussing the weird Asian girl with the white see-through shirt... But she quickly shook off the thoughts, not actually having made the blunder of wearing white in the rain, focusing instead on maneuvering her car around the edges of the school property, making her way towards the student parking lot. Pulling into a space between a couple of other cars that had seen better days, Ri sucked in a deep breath before she cut the engine, trying to brace herself for the upcoming immersion, and then released the air in a puff that made her cheeks momentarily bulge. Giving her head a shake, she briefly studied the map she had been given, comparing it to her schedule and locating her first period before stuffing the papers into her bag and getting out of the car, slinging one strap over her shoulder. Locking the car behind her as she walked away, she tried not to focus on a fluttering panicky feeling starting in her stomach.
Rain boots splashing in collected puddles that she wondered had ever completely evaporated before, Risa tried not to look around too much, fearing that she would catch the eyes of a curious teenager and go tripping over her own feet. She wasn't a clumsy person naturally, but if she tried to walk and focus on anything else, she usually ended up falling. Definitely not something she wanted to do within the first minute of getting to school. As it was, she was moving a bit faster then was probably normal and consequently ended up bumping someone with her arm that she hadn't immediately seen. Cheeks flushing with embarrassment, the teenager turned towards the person she had hit, looking out from her hood at another girl with a light brown jacket and blonde curls hidden within her own coat. "I am so sorry. I didn't mean to run into you like that." Risa apologized sincerely, her voice coming out with a bit more of her Japanese accent because of her agitation. "are you all right?"

The lustfull emotions beginning to roll off of Emmet and Rosalie were just starting to get on his nerves when Edward mercifully snapped at them to take it elsewhere. There was a momentary stab of irritation from Rose, but the pair quickly left with a whisper of fabric, closing the door behind them quietly. Jasper glanced towards his adopted brother, aware of the concern that Edward was feeling as the bronze haired vampire also got out of the car, whispering a question to him even as he pretended to check one of the tires of the Volvo. His first reaction was to get irritated at having his thoughts on display, but Jasper instead opted for a chagrined sort of gratitude for the concern. It wasn't Edward's fault that he could pick out all of the thoughts that crossed his mind, just as it was impossible for Jasper not to notice the emotions of those around him. That was just what they were.
Settling on an answer that was a combination of truths, Jasper had just gotten out of the car himself and had opened his mouth to respond when a sudden shift in Edward's mood made his muscles freeze, His nostrils flared to scent the air. Naturally, the warm sent of blood hit him first, several students still walking through the parking lot, and the back of his throat Felt as if it had suddenly ignited into flames. He struggled not to focus on the instinctive urge to jump towards the nearest group of people, give in to the sudden burning desire to quench his thirst. Reaching out, he gripped Edwards shoulder, using the contact to focus his thoughts and discover the reason behind the sudden tension he could feel coming off of him.
"What's wrong Edward?" He hissed in a low voice, still scanning the area for potential threats. It was almost as if his brother were having a similar struggle to his own... Tightening The grip he had on Edward's shoulder, Jasper truly hope that wasn't the case.
