First day



We were sitting in the cafeteria of this new school. All over the room the students were gawking at us. I knew what they saw, without bothering to ask Edward. Ten years ago I had behaved similar. Ten years ago it had been my first day at a new school, too.

"So, what are they thinking so far?" Emmett asked. Edward just rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"The usual," He answered after a few moments.

"Let me guess: 'they look gorgeous', 'someone told me they were all couples, creepy', 'I hope I sit next to them in my next class', and so on?" I said. This was my first time at High School, at least in my still new immortal life. I wasn't bored yet. The only thing that really got on my nerves was Jasper staring again. Okay, this was the biggest gathering of humans I ever was confronted with as a vampire. But I was doing well, wasn't I? No need for him to get so freaked out.

"Exactly, love. You just left out the boys already falling for you and planning how to steal you away from me." He frowned angrily. I chuckled softly, to quiet for any human to hear.

"Let them try, this should be entertaining." Emmett said, a happy smile spreading over his face.

Edward growled low. "I don't think so."

"Nobody ever tried to steal Rose away from me; maybe you should work on your scare-tactics." Emmett teased, while laughing out loud. Rosalie looked up on hearing her name. She had been examining her fingernails. Esme had put her foot down and forbid her to wear the nails coloured blood red on her first day as sophomore at a new school. Rosalie hated High School the most, I remembered. After College she would always get married to her Emmett and play housewife till it was time to move and start over again. Or so I had been told. I had been to her marriage only once, six years ago, in Forks. And what a marriage this had been, much bigger than my own. If Alice didn't look so young, she could make a fortune as a wedding planer. I sighed.

"So what do we have next?" I asked Alice, since we were having the same schedule at least after lunch break.

"Gym" she answered glumly, Edward sighed.

"It's four years of PE here, like in Forks." He said in a similar tone. None of them likes to move slowly for the humans, I remembered. I was just happy, that I would have no trouble running. I had been quite clumsy as a human. I dimly remembered my last gym lesson. Remembering my human life was like looking through a veil or something. I had managed to trip and loose my badminton racket. It had landed on the head of some girl, who had only been in my PE class. It was still embarrassing to remember and I was grateful for my vampire nature that spared me the blush.

Edward looked up in time to catch my slightly satisfied smile. "What are you thinking, Bella?"

I snickered. "You wish."

He looked frustrated. I smiled wider, pleased that it was up to me to let him in my head, or not, in this case.

"Please?" he asked with my favourite one sided smile, looking deeply into the warm gold of my eyes. I was dazzled for a second. After all this years he could still do this to me. I shoved my protections away from me to include him in the secure inner bubble of my mental shield, thinking only of my never ending love for him. He looked pleased and gazed intently at my body. I knew this look. He imagined what he would do to me when he got me home and alone. I started to shiver. I liked that look a lot. It got me started on my own version of us being together. He stared hotly at me and my concentration snapped. Suddenly my inner bubble was back in place. I still had some problems with holding it away from me for long – at least with him nearby.

Edward grabbed my hand and kissed my wrist. "That was quite interesting, love. Thank you."

"Go get a room," Rosalie said disgusted. Emmett snickered. Alice stood.

"Well it's time for class." She said. Edward stood, too, holding out a hand for me.

"Would you care to join me, Mrs Cullen?" He asked to quiet for anyone else – meaning human – to hear. Rosalie glared at him and hissed. Sometimes I wondered if it still bothered her, that Edward fell for me and not for her. Even, if she didn't care for him that way. Edward glared at her.

"Relax," he said. Emmett took her hand and kissed it. "Common Rose, let's go do some Biology." She giggled at the intended innuendo and slapped him lightly.

We took our untouched plates to the collecting stands and joined Alice, who was already waiting at the door.

Gym was no surprise. It was just a lecture today, since it was the first day of school. I eyed my pears interested. We were all freshmen, so everybody was new. Some of them were in my other classes, too. Some boys shot glances in my direction looking quickly away, when I caught them. Some faces getting tomato red. So Edward was right, I thought sarcastically. I noticed Alice got a few glances, too. But she ignored them easily. Apparently she was used to this by now. And of course all girls sighed over Edward. I scowled at them. He is mine, I thought at them, keep your fingers to yourselves or I might need to hurt you. This seemed to apply especially to a certain girl, whose eyes never left him. She looked quite attractive for a human, I considered grudgingly. A brunette with dark green eyes and clear, pale skin. I shot her a warning glare, but she didn't seem to notice. Edward chuckled as he caught a look at my face.

"You are so endearing when you're jealous." He said, kissing my hair.

I scowled at him. "She looks as if she wants to eat you."

He snickered, "That's not what she's thinking about, though. It goes more into dancing and hand holding. Those are freshmen girls, you know."

"Maybe I ask her on a date," he teased. I wanted to answer that but the coach started glaring in our direction. Edward smiled innocently at him and got an irritated look back. We didn't have a perfect Cullen record, yet. Besides we went under the name Summers here, posing as adopted children to Dr. Carlisle Summers and his beautiful architect – wife Esme Summers. Well, except Rosalie, Jasper and Edward, who called themselves Masen and posed as foster children. We were still on the Olympic peninsula and to close to Forks to use the same last names. I tried to pull myself together and listen to the coach's lecture. It was about soccer and quite boring. Finally the bells were ringing, showing the end of this class. I sighed. The coach hadn't finished his lecture. It would continue tomorrow. I still didn't knew why the others hated gym so much.

The last class was Spanish. I sat through it with a growing feeling of boredom. Edward had taken Renesmee and me to Spain for a month in the summer, after she graduated from High School. This was all it took me to learn the language fluently. Never failing memories had their advantages. Thinking of my beautiful half-vampire daughter now, I started to frown. We had left her at Forks, at La Push, to be specific, with Jake. She had promised not to rush into a wedding and go to College. And he had promised to watch over her. But still I was worried. I had long past come to terms with their imprinting. Renesmee hadn't even bothered to look at other boys when she hit puberty. Never dating anyone but Jacob Black; my best friend and a werewolf. In normal age Renesmee wasn't older than ten, but since she grew so fast she looked and acted all grown up since her seventh birthday. At 6 years old we had entered her at Forks High, posing as Edwards' niece. Time had flown by so fast. Suddenly I thought of my mom and how she must have felt, when I left her to live with Charlie, my Dad. But she had Phil, I reminded myself, and I have Edward. Still I was thinking of the long email I would write to Renesmee when I got home. She hadn't answered my last email, yet, and I was getting a little anxious. A pity Alice couldn't see her future. Stupid, I scolded myself, you send that email only 10 hours ago. I was acting the overprotective mom again. But it was the first time we were separated over such a distance for such a long time. She is still under Charlie's' eyes, I realized, and calmed a bit. Maybe I would call her later. Thinking of my daughter brought my thoughts naturally to Edward. Since this school had classes in French and he was bored by Spanish, this was one of two classes we didn't have together – the other being history. He had decided to take music since it was available at this school. I missed him even for this short time. I got still a bit anxious when we were separated thanks to the dreadful time he left me after my 18th birthday. I shuddered involuntarily. My thoughts got interrupted by a sheet of paper suddenly turning up on my desk. I raised my head and found Alice's inquiring look. Bending my head down again I read the question that was placed at the top of the page in her flowering handwriting:

Why so melancholy?

I scribbled back:

Thinking of Renesmee

Comparing the two notes critically, I really needed to work on my handwriting. Maybe pick up some Calligraphy. I smuggled the sheet back. That wasn't really challenging, given our inhuman speed. Alice frowned slightly. It bothered her a lot that she couldn't keep an eye on her niece. I tried to pull myself together and listen to our Spanish teacher explaining the basic grammar. I struggled with this till the end of class not allowing myself to think of my family.

Edward was already waiting in front of the classroom as we came through the door. Instantly my face lit up and I smiled at him happily.

"Missed you," he breathed in my ear, kissing my temple. I let my fingers trace the outline of his jaw and took a deep breath. I loved that smell of him and it was kind of nice to loose the burning in my throat for a while. Alice coughed meaningful. She wanted to get to Jasper. Edward frowned at her. Then he stepped back and took my hand in his.

"How was Spanish?" he asked as we walked silently to the parking lot with a little detour to the front office to hand in the slips, signed by our teachers.

"As if you need to ask," Alice grimaced, "I guess you have been listening in on us the whole time." She accused him. He looked a little guilty and I laughed softly.

"You could just change to Spanish, since you seem to be unable to follow French." I suggested lightly.

He huffed.

As we entered the parking lot, Edward started to frown. I looked up to see Rosalie and Jasper already at our car. Rosalie looked bored, Jaspers face lit up as he saw Alice.

Since we were posing as 15 year olds, Edward would have to let Jasper drive his precious new dark red Ford Explorer. Edward was a car collector, just like Rosalie, but he was more into the driving part, while she enjoyed the tuning. This Ford Explorer must be the fastest SUV ever. Edward hated that he was not able to drive officially, yet.
