Twilight Gamer

Chapter 22



The next three hours were some of the most boring Jack had experienced in a while, if before they could at least have been bearable because he was learning, now that he knew everything they were simply a waste of time.

Well at least not completely as Jack did use observation on everyone around him as he tried to gain more experience for both it and the VideoGamer skill.

'It seems to be leveling up at a much slower pace than when I was a human however, it's most likely because it's the evolved version of the skill.' Jack analyzed as he finally heard the ring that he had been waiting for.

*Riiinnnggg*

The bell rang at the end of the third hour of classes and the start of lunch break was finally here.

Jack got up and started heading outside of the class again, by this point every class he went to Jack was hearing whispers about him getting plastic surgery done.

'Thankfully it seems like quite a lot of people simply don't care about the rumors at all, however, that guy James really went behind my back huh? Is it that he was just a bad friend from the start or is the negative impact of talking to him with low charisma that day just that bad? If that's the case then I can definitely say I got lucky that I survived the whole Cullen ordeal' Jack thought as he walked down the hall which was now filled with students, all of them heading to the same place.

After a few minutes of walking, Jack arrived on the completely opposite side of the school where the cafeteria was situated.

Seeing the doors already open, Jack headed inside and looked around before finding the Cullen's table and walking directly to them.

'It's better that I start gaining their trust, slowly but surely, and then I'll be able to complete both that quest and have vampires on my side. But with my charisma it might still be a bit hard to get them to a high enough relationship level' Jack thought as he thought back to what he had done over the last week.

He had intentionally stayed close to Emmet, it was lucky that they both seemed to be into the same things so that quickened the process quite a lot Jack did in fact like the guy but that wasn't the main reason he had tried to get along with him.

He was in completely unfamiliar territory with all this supernatural vampire bullshit, he needed to gain as much of a foothold into this new world as he could, and having a vampire family have his back was definitely not something to just let slip.

Jack arrived and gave them all a smile and a short wave of his hand before dragging a chair and sitting at the table.

Looking around he saw all of them had lunch trays besides Jack himself.

Edward was looking at him as if he was a dumbass.

"Next time take a lunch tray." Was all the emo bastard said before turning his head as if waiting for something?

Jack looked at the back of his head for a moment before he shook his own.

"I don't think that's a good idea, first of all, you taking all these lunch trays only for you to put them in the trashcan is a waste of food and also not a good way to hide. A lot of people don't enjoy the cafeteria's food so you could just sit here and talk to each other even without lunch trays and still not look as weird as you do when you all throw the uneaten food in the trashcan." Jack said as he looked at the Cullens who were also now focused on what he was saying.

"That's true" Shockingly it was Rosalie who said so as she looked at Jack for a moment before removing him from her sight by turning her head away.

'Cold, but it's progress' Jack thought as he remembered her saying they should kill him instantly.

'They really aren't the smartest people or maybe it's because they have been vampires for so long that they don't really know what a human is truly like anymore?' Jack thought.

"She's here," Edward said and then got off the chair and started walking toward the door.

Jack turned to look at him and then turned his head further to look at what Edward was staring at and now even walking toward.

It was the human girl, Bella Swan.

'What the fuck? Why is he walking toward her? A human.' Jack thought as he looked at the man getting closer and closer to what could be considered as emergency rations to vampires.

"What is he doing" Jack said out loud as he turned to face the rest of the Cullens.

Rosalie shrugged her shoulders together with Emmet and Jasper, both of the boys also looked confused whilst Rosalie was frowning heavily.

Alice meanwhile turned to face Jack and showed a concerned expression.

Now that Jack had increased Charisma he had noticed that he could tell what people were expressing more easily, whereas before he only saw a white wall mostly.

'Why are you looking at me like that damn it' Jack thought as he stared at Alice's face.

She wasn't just showing a concerned expression, there was also pity and maybe just maybe a little fear.

Jack wasn't sure about the last part however but he didn't like the current situation one bit.

Turning his head back, Jack quickly processed the information that he had.

'Bella Swan, Edward's blood singer as well and Mate. I saw Bella Swan for the first time last week but only briefly, and Edward also didn't go to school after that day. Blood Singer could mean a lot of things but currently, the only explainable reason is that Edward almost lost control of himself or something similar so that could be related but that's still up in the air before I gather more information. Mate clearly should mean lover or partner. Does that bastard want to take her in or something?' Jack finally arrived at his conclusion as he looked at Edward who had stopped in front of Bella while showing her a slight smile and started talking to her.

'That fucker'
