Trucy and Pearl had been back at school for a nearly two months, but they still had no idea who the new girl was. No one in the school really knew her; all they knew was that she was incredibly gorgeous, almost flawless. She had arrived at the school at the beginning of the year; she was one of the only two new students in the year and both students had made quite a stir. On the first day, the halls had been abuzz with the news of the newcomers, girls giggled in huddles and boys stared longingly. Edward, the other student, seemed a lot more friendly and approachable. He was still the school hottie, but the girls had stopped being so star struck once they discovered that he was engaged to a girl in another school. The girl, on the other hand, was forever alone, walking the halls with her eyes to the ground and a stack of books in her arms. Most of the others girls in the school had long ago given up trying to talk to her and even the boys left her alone.
Trucy wouldn't let it go though and she was determined to make her feel welcome.
"You ask her." Trucy nudged Pearl towards the lockers where the girl stood. Trucy wanted to be the girl's friend, but even she was intimidated by the girl's perfection.
"No you!" Pearl nudged Trucy in return. "It was your idea."
Trucy sighed heavily before mumbling "fine," and walking towards the lockers.
"Hi." She tapped the girl lightly on the shoulder and smiled brightly at her.
"Hello." The girl didn't even look away from the locker.
Undeterred Trucy continued. "I'm Trucy." She said tentatively.
"Renesmee." The girl replied, her voice still uninterested as she finished picking up her books and began to turn away.
"Wow, I love your name, it's so pretty."
"Really?" Renesmee turned around in surprise. "Usually people just say it's weird."
Trucy was overjoyed that she had broken through the girls defences.
"What? No. It's just original and since when has that been a bad thing?" Trucy grinned at Renesmee.
"I guess it's not." A bright smile lit up Renesmee's face, making her look even more beautiful.
"Well, Renesmee, me and my friend Pearl..." She waved her friend over enthusiastically "...were wondering if you'd like to come to a sleepover at my house this weekend?"
"Well , I'd have to check with my parents." Renesmee said, looking behind her "but I would love to."
Trucy was overjoyed. "Oh My Gosh, it's going to be amazing." Trucy bounced up and down excitedly before grabbing Renesmee's arm and walking down the hall towards their next class, Pearl on her other side.
As the girls continued down the hallway, their thoughts and conversation on the weekend ahead, Edward leant against his locker watching them.
