September 2
I opened my eyes slowly, still getting used to the new sounds of our new house in our new town, starting our new life. 2 months here was not enough to acclimate me. I peaked out my window to check the weather. Solid clouds. Perfect. I was glad that Alice was right. I wouldn't want to start my first day of school without my parents. I got out of bed and turned on my sound system, hearing the first notes of one of my favorite songs start. I danced around my pale green room singing the words "I'm gonna gonna make you mine." The music was on fairly loud, but I still heard the approach of feet, the heaviest in the house. My Jacob.
I flung open the door before he reached it. "Hey Ness. You excited or something? Think you could make some more noise, while I'm sleeping?" Jake asked, ending on a yawn. I forgot that he might not have been up yet. I blushed a bit and reached up to show him I was sorry. He stepped back from my hand, however, and explained, "Nessie, you need to remember to talk today, instead of just showing people your thoughts. That is definitely not a normal human thing to do." Jake gave his trademark smirk before pulling me in for a hug. It was nice. He was so warm, while the rest of my family felt cool, like stone.
"Okay Jake. I'm so excited and nervous, and just ecstatic! I get to meet new people! I get to make friends! It's going to be great! EEEE!!!" I jumped up and down as I explained my excitement, knowing the feelings were rushing out of me and probably overwhelming Jasper, who was coming up the stairs to my room with Alice and Esme. I ran over to the group and gave each of them a hug as well. We walked down the stairs together, me talking in a rush, them reminding me of how to act human.
In the kitchen the rest of the family was waiting, excluding my parents. I wondered briefly where they were, but I knew they were close. I choked down my unfortunatly human breakfast of sausage and eggs as the time flew by. Before I knew it, I was being hussled upstairs to change and then out the door to my father's volvo, where he and mom were waiting. I climbed in the back with Jacob and started talking a mile a minute, remembering to use my words instead of my power.
"Hi Daddy, Hi Momma! Where were you for breakfast? I ate it all. It was okay. I didn't make any faces or anything. I think I'll do okay at school. Do you think I'll make friends? What will classes be like? Everyone will be wearing these uniforms right?" I Let the words spill from my mouth at just above human speed, knowing I would have to slow down when I got to school. I could see my parents smiling in the front seat, holding hands across the middle as Daddy drove. My parents responded to my questions, saying they were glad I'd eaten, yes I would make friends and yes, everyone would be wearing the uniforms. Once again the time flew and we were outside of a set of large red school buildings. All the buildings were connected by walkways with cover, probably to protect the students from the frequent rain.
I sat in the car, suddenly nervous. I had never been around so many humans before at one time. I also realized anew that they were all rather plain looking. There were the beauties and the less attractive people, but none were even close to the level of my family. I realized that fitting in here would not be quite so easy. Jake took my hand as a sign of comfort as I climbed out of the car. He had done so many times before, but this time felt different. Like he was protecting me, supporting me, with me. Suddenly, my father turned around and growled at Jacob, looking as dangerous as I'd ever seen him. I was extremely shocked. I glanced at the rest of my family to see their reactions. Emmett and Jasper looked faintly amused, but protective. Rosalie was resigned, while Alice was frusterated (becasue she can't see outcomes involving Jacob and myself) but happy. Jacob was very serious and suddenly older. Like he was ready to fight my dad on whatever it was that was going on. Lastly, I looked at my mom. She looked so sad yet, overjoyed, that I just felt like crying. What could put that look on her face? The tense atmosphere was broken by a voice across the parking lot.
"Oh Gosh! Who are the hotties across the parking lot, and why does the auburn haired god look so... angry?" I turned to look at the girl. She was about five and a half feet tall, with dark brown hair pulled back from her face. She stared at the group of us, surrounded by a group of other students. Who was she calling a god? Laughter broke out among my family, and I turned to face them. Everyone of them was laughing, looking at Dad, who looked sheepish.
"Guess Edward already has a fan club," Emmett joked. "Better keep a good hold on him Bells, you never know, he could fall for another human."
My mom snorted in the most unladylike way and started walking, the rest of us following her. She lead the way into the school to start our new life.
