"We have a new student!" announces an overly enthusiastic female teacher, clapping her hands. I roll my eyes at the theatrics. "Please welcome Renesmee Cullen!" She pronounces my name Ruh-nez-mee.
"Um, it's Ruh-nez-may," I correct, blushing.
"Oh, sorry," the teacher says, sounding unrepentant. "Please, take a seat, Renesmee." She pronounces my name wrong again, but this time, I don't bother correcting her.
I feel all eyes on me as I walk to the only empty seat. I finger one of my long bronze curls that tumble down my back as I avoid eye contact. Today, I start high school.
Although I'm technically four years old, I look fifteen, and have a very advanced mind. See, I'm a half-vampire. My parents, Bella and Edward, are vampires, as are my Aunt Rosalie and Uncle Emmett, Aunt Alice and Uncle Jasper, and my Grandma Esme and Grandpa Carlisle. When Momma was still human and Daddy was a vampire, Momma got pregnant with me. Somehow, she survived my violent birth in time for Daddy to change her into a vampire. My best friend, Jacob, who is also a werewolf, imprinted on me literally at the scene of my birth. Imprinting is the werewolf version of love at first sight. I know that someday when I get old enough, we'll be more than friends, but till then, he's the brother I'll never have.
"Hi," whispers the girl next to me. "Renesmee? That's an unusual name."
Oh, the hell I'll get. Why couldn't Momma have named me something normal? Ashley or Katie or something. "It's a family name," I reply vaguely, referring to the origin of my name. Momma joined the name of her mother, Renée, and the name of Daddy's mother, Esme, into one and got Renesmee.
"That's cool." The girl smiles. It accentuates her piercing blue eyes. She has pin-straight blue-black hair cut into a blunt bob, with equally blunt bangs. "I'm Audrina."
"That's an unusual name, too," I point out. Audrina smiles wider.
"I know. Well, welcome to Stuyvesant!" Audrina says.
"Thanks," I reply, smiling tentatively at her.
