Prologue

I think I was happy before I was in love and I was certainly happier when I met love. But what happens when you meet two different loves? I know. I lived it. The answer is that it can destroy you. Not in a physical way but in a much deeper and painful way.

But love has never been easy. The point of love is to fight for it. Even if that takes to lose like half of your body liquids on tears.

I'm the new girl

Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. That's the only thing I could think. My brain was twisted by the nerves.

"Okay, honey, I love you but my head is going to explode. You've been thinking that for almost four hours." My dad told me as if I was stupid. I didn't listen to him, though, and kept thinking 'Oh my God' again and again. I was too nervous to stop.

Then Alice came towards me. "You don't have to be nervous. We've been through this like a hundred times, it isn't so hard to make friends. Trust me." How couldn't I trust Alice? If there was someone that could calm me in a moment like this one was my aunt Alice. I loved her so much.

Emmett was watching T.V on the sofa next to Jake. Rosalie was standing on the other corner of the living room watching at me. Rosalie's been always more like my second mother than my aunt. I still had some faded memories about her holding me in her arms when I was a baby. Alice, on the other hand, was more like my big sister.

In the last couple of years I had learnt how to control my gift. I can touch people without showing my thoughts. They are only shown when I want to. Although I looked as old as the rest, I was 6 and In a few weeks I'll be 7. Grandpa says I will have 7 for the rest of my eternity, he says I'll reach full maturity then.

"Yeah and boys will die to sit next to you." Emmett said turning his head to show me a wide smile. Although uncle Em always said inappropriate things I liked him very much and he always knew how to make me laugh. I smiled back at him.

Jacob growled at Emmett giving him an 'I'm gonna rip you apart' kind of look. I suppose Jasper felt the wave of anger. "Calm down." Jazz told him as if he was a tame dog. Why would Jake growl at Emmett? I couldn't find anything bad on his commentary. Dad should have been the one who growled, he's always been overprotective. Did you forget you're going to school for the first time? My conscience said. School! I became nervous again. Oh my God!

An alarm rang. "It's time!" Alice said smiling to me. She was very happy too. She liked school and now we were going together, this make her happier.

Oh God! I thought again. I looked in the mirror once more and went outside with the others. They climbed on their cars as I got in the Volvo with dad, mum and Alice. I looked through the window and waved at Carlisle and Esme, who were in the front door. Esme threw me a kiss with both hands and I laughed. Grandma always found a way to show you her immense love, it didn't matter how. Dad smiled when he heard my thought and he started driving to school.

Daddy what if they don't like me? I asked through thoughts. I was really worried and I knew I was boring my family because they thought school wasn't to make friends but to keep the cover.

"Sweetie, they will like you. Everybody likes you." Yeah right. Every father says that to her daughter. "Yes, every father says that, but not every vampire father." Lame joke dad, lame joke. "I'm serious. I don't know, you have this thing that makes everybody like you." He said, still not convincing me.

"Your father is right. When you were a little girl every vampire who came to help us against the Volturi liked you, even those Romanian vampires." Mummy told me. Of course I had listen that story many times. I knew I wouldn't get any good answer from my parents so I just calmed myself and waited until we arrived to school.

"Do you want me to introduce you?" Mum asked smiling. I thought she was kidding me.

"No , mum, I think I can do that for myself. It's not too hard to say 'My name is Nessie'." But she looked at me pretty angry. "No! You have to say your real name, not your nickname."

"Mum, what a hypocrite! When you were at school you introduced yourself as 'Bella' not 'Isabella'." I couldn't tell them my name was Reenesme, it's not a very common name, you know?

"Because I didn't have such a lovely name."

"Love, don't say that. Your name is beautiful." Dad told her as we parked. She looked at him in the eyes. "Oh honey, in this case your opinion doesn't count."

"Oh yeah?" And then they kissed. Ew! "C'mon, your brothers now. I don't want them to think I'm more freak than I already are!" And I went off the car.

I walked as human as possible trying to copy my family. I could feel their looks as we went to reception and asked for our schedules. I had classes with almost everyone except for biology.

Emmett laughed. "She inherit that from you, Edward."

As dad always did, he ignored him. "What do yo have first?" He asked me.

I looked at my schedule. "Maths, then Chemistry and then Biology."

"Oh, I have Maths." Dad said. Oh no! Why God?

"You know I can hear your thoughts right?" Everybody laughed because they could figure out what I had thought.

"Oh Jazz, we have Chemistry together!" She jumped and kissed him while he put his arms across her waist. Oh, c'mon!

"Could you please behave like brothers and sisters! You're getting on my nerves!" They all laughed but me. I was serious.

"Let's go, darling, your first class." We went to the class and sat on a table in the middle of the class. Everyone was staring at me and my dad was listening to everything they were thinking. Could this be more embarrassing? Apparently yes. A guy started staring at me and winked. For God's sake, please don't listen to his mind! He growled a little bit, only I could hear him. Too late.

The class was very boring and after a while I just stopped listening to everything Mr. Crows said. When we finally got out of the class I waved to dad and went to Chemistry.

Alice and Jasper were sitting down. I sat on a table on my own very embarrassed because everyone started staring again.

The teacher entered to the classroom. "Okay, everyone sit down and stop talking." Looking some students in particular, including my aunt and my uncle. "My name is Mr. Fitzergald." He said as he wrote it on the blackboard. Then the door opened and a pale, red-haired girl entered.

"I'm sorry." Said the girl. It looked like she had been running.

"Please, sit down." Mr. Fitzergald told her.

Every table was full except for mine. I made her a sign with the hand so she could sit next to me. Okay, now Ness introduce yourself.

"Hi." I said shyly. She's not going to bite, you know? "I'm Reenesme Cullen, but you can call me Ness." She smiled.

"I'm Julie, Julie Rottenbul." She looked like a nice girl; I just wanted to read her mind. God I really envy dad for his gift.

The professor taught us the names of the different element of the periodic table. It was too simple.

"Can you tell me wich is the first alkali metal in the periodic table?" I raised my hand too fast for any human. "Lithium." I said. After many minutes I turned to the girl.

"Do you like chemistry?"

"I wish. I don't understand anything." She sighed.

"I can help you if you want."

She looked at me. "That would be great."

The bell rang. "What do you have now?" I asked.

"Biology."

"Really? So do I!" I told her smiling. She showed me a wide smile. "Let's go then. I don't wanna be late for another class."

We sat on the first table in front of the teacher's desk. Alice passed through the door and waved me. Then she moved her lips saying 'I'll see you in the cafeteria.'

Julie stood thinking and then asked me. "You know her?"

"She's my sister." It was time to tell our old fake story. "Well, my adopted sister actually."

"Oh." Like if something she was thinking has just make sense. "Does she knows?"

"Yes, we are all adopted. I'm the youngest."

She didn't surprised when I told her that. "How many of you are?"

"Seven including me." We were a lot, even for a vampire clan. "And you? Do you have any brothers?"

"One. Peter's my twin."

Then the professor arrived, "Quiet everyone. You may call me Mrs. Pratt or just professor, as you wish. Please open your folders." She waited for everyone to take them. "Raise your hand how many of you checks the calories of food?"

Of course I didn't raised my hand and neither did Julie but another ten girls raised her hands. "Now, how many of you checks the quantity of fats and carbohydrates?" No one raised his hand. "Well, calories isn't the most important thing. You have to take in count fats and carbohydrates. And most important you have to check if it has food additives because most of them are toxic and carcinogenic." Then she started explaining about how to read and check well calories of a "Nutrition Fact" table. Later she gave us one table to each one and told us to count the calories by using fats, carbohydrates and proteins.

The bell rang again. It was time for launch. Julie and I went to the cafeteria. I saw my family sitting on an empty table.

"Come here Ness." She told me while she was sitting on another table. There was a blond girl with blue eyes, a brunette and two other guys. The blond girl turned to me with admiration. "I'm Amy Scarfet. What's your name?"

I sat between her and Julie. "I'm Reneesme Cullen but please call me Ness." I said smiling and I knew mum was listening. Then I turned to the other girls. "I'm Maggie Breen." She smiled. Then the chestnut-brown boy looked at me. "My name is Christian Tenace." And then the other boy introduced. "Hi. I'm Ben, Ben Willys." I turned to look at my family and Emmett waved.

"Who is that guy?" Amy asked interested.

"He's my brother Emmett and that one next him is his girlfriend." Rosalie looked really angry.

"Your brothers are really cute. I wouldn't be able to live in that family." Maggie smiled. My family was going to laugh at that, I was sure.

Julie bit a piece of pizza and looked at me, "You're not going to eat?"

"I'm not hungry." I knew I had to invent some new excuses for not eating, well probably is going to be more believable if I get used to eat. Ugh!

I told them the story of my strange yet 'cute' family before going to gym. The coach split the class in two groups to play volleyball. They were stunned of my skills at sports and I blushed every time they looked at me. The bell rang for last time today and we went to the parking lot.

"See you tomorrow Ness." Julie said walking towards her car.

"See you Jul." I turned to the silver Volvo. Dad was waiting there for me with mum and Alice.

"Hi sweetie." Dad said. "Did you liked school?"

"Very much. And I made some new friends."

Alice stared at me. "Told you so but why listen to Alice?"

"I trusted you." I protested.

"-Oh, they won't like me-" She imitated my voice perfectly.

I gave up. She was right. "I'll trust you next time. Promise."

After a few minutes we arrived home.

Carlisle opened the door and greeted me. "Hi sweetheart. We missed having you around today." Then Esme came and hugged me. "Did you made any friends?" I nodded.

"With brothers as cute as we, how wouldn't they like her?" Jazz said. There you go. I was right.

"Yeah, that Amy girl isn't so bad." Emmett teased me. Rosalie growled and threw a book to him. Yes, in my cute family we throw books to each other, just a fun game.

Jake came then and I hugged him. "How was your day?"

"Perfect." I said. I missed him. "Weren't you at school?"

He laughed. "Yes but I came here quickly so I could be here when you arrived." He was truly my best friend. Whenever I needed something he would be there for me.

"If you get low marks, don't even think of blaming me." I smiled.

"Like if I care about marks. You're way more important." He looked at me gently.

"Is that a compliment?" I said trying to make a sexy look.

"Of course, baby." Has he just called me 'baby'? "Now, tell me about your day." We went to my room and I told him everything about my new friends.
