CHAPTER ONE - FIRST DAY NPOV

"It's time for school! It's time for school! It's time for school! It's time for-" I started chanting this all around the house as I tried to get everyone up and going.

"We get the point!" My parents had both been lying on their bed reading.

"Well, no one is getting ready to go! I don't want to be late on my first day of school ever!"

"Ness, it will take us all of two minutes to get ready for school," my daddy reminded me.

"I still don't want to be late!" I was all but screaming at him.

"Nessie, first, don't scream, and second, we will not let you be late for school. So don't worry about it," my momma told me.

"But you never know what could happen! There could be an earthquake, a hurricane, a tornado, a tsunami, any number of things!"

"If you're that worried about it, then go ask Aunt Alice to help you choose out what you are going to wear."

"That's a wonderful idea!"

"There, you are all ready for your first day of school ever!" Aunt Alice proudly proclaimed.

I touched Aunt Ali's face to ask her a question. Will the students really like me?

"Of course they will. Why wouldn't they, Nessie?"

Because I am the new kid. Uncle Em told me all about what school kids do to people who are new.

"Have you been listening to Emmett's stories again? You know most of what he tells you isn't true," Aunt Ali was trying to figure out why I was so nervous now.

Could you please just tell me if the students are going to like me or not? Please?

"Fine." Aunt Ali's eyes got really distant for a few seconds. "Everyone at school is going to absolutely love you. And you will have your cell phone with you all day so that you can reach any of us if you have to, but you won't. Don't worry so much, it will make you go gray. I guess you get that from your mother. She always did worry way too much. You two should take a few yoga classes-"

"Aunt Ali! I should be fine. And my hair will never go gray. You wouldn't allow it," I had to say before she really got into her ramblings. "C'mon, we are going to be late if we don't hurry up soon!"

"Fine, fine, let's get ready to go. See if you can get your parents out of their room in the next century. Otherwise we just won't get to school. Your dad is our ride for the day."

"Ugh, I didn't need that visual Aunt Ali!"

My rate of growing had finally slowed down enough that I could go to school. I didn't look like I could be in high school though. So I had to sit through fifth grade, even though I am smarter than the teachers that are teaching the grade. I can't wait to go to school with Jake.

"Ness, wake up. We're here," my dad was calling.

"What? I didn't go to sleep. See, I am awake now."

"Way to much like her mother," I heard daddy muttering.

I heard that!

"Get to school Nessie."

"Yes, daddy."

I was half way through the day and about to complain that I was sick when I got a text.

Don't you dare, Nessie.
Your parents would probably kill both of us.
*Always think ahead*
-Aunt Alice

Looks like I am staying in school for the day.

Ness, why did your aunt just see you skipping school?
*Be careful what you think*

And that would be my dad.

Ness, what has your dad so angry at you for?
*Shield those you love*

And that had to be my mom.

They gave me no choice but to text during school.

Fine. I'll stay in school and be bored.
*Listen to what I have to say*

There. I hoped my family was happy, 'cause I sure wasn't. This is the most boring thing in the world.

All of the sudden, I noticed everyone staring at me. I tried to figure out why, but I couldn't since I had been spacing out through most of the day.

"Renesmee, would you like to tell us what is so important that you had to stop listening to this lesson?" My teacher is going to pay for that.

"Nothing, ma'am. I am very sorry. I'll try to pay better attention now."

"Thank you. That's all I ask." Boy is she just asking for it. I have never tasted human blood before, but it can't be so bad for me to try it once…

Nessie, don't you dare!
I don't want to have to move again so soon!
*Love your children*
-Aunt Rose

Crap. There goes that plan. If I don't stop this soon, momma and daddy are going to be very mad at me when we get home today.

Finally it was lunch. Not that any of the food smelled overly appetizing, it was just nice to get out of that stuffy classroom for a while.

Don't forget to eat Nessie.
Love you a lot.
-Grandma Esme

I forgot about that little detail. Well, the small amount of freedom was enjoyable for a little while. Maybe I can come up with some excuse as to why I wouldn't be eating much. Hmmm…

"Hello, my name is Nate, your name's Renesmee, right?" Some of the kids in my class had come up to join me in the lunch line.

"Yes, but I prefer to be called Nessie," I responded.

"Like the Loch Ness Monster?"

"Yeah. My mom used to hate my nickname for that very reason."

"That's too bad. I think that it is really pretty," Nate told me while blushing.

"Thank you. Who is everybody else? I am not great with names, so you might have to tell me a few times before I get them all." Hopefully daddy wouldn't find out about these small lies I would have to tell.

"Well, this is Adam, Jason, Mandy, Sue Ann, and Macy," Nate made the introductions.

"It's nice to meet you all," I said somewhat shyly.

"It's nice to meet you, too," Mandy said.

"Why did you move here?" Jason asked.

"Well, I live with my adoptive dad, and he is a doctor. He just got a new job at the hospital, and we all moved here," I explained.

The true story is that daddy wanted to get away from a group of girls that would not leave him and momma alone. It annoyed him so much that he seriously injured one of the girls annoying him. We couldn't arouse suspicion, so we decided to move.

"Why were you adopted?" Adam asked.

"My momma died while giving birth to me, and my daddy didn't want me anymore. So I ended up living with some family friends, who eventually adopted me and my older brother and sister."

"How much older are they?" Sue Ann asked.

Now we were really getting into a question and answer session. Something I had really wanted to avoid. I guess some of what Uncle Em told me was true.

"Edward is 17 and Alice is 16, but they are both juniors in high school." I looked too much like daddy for us to say anything different.

"Wow, that sure is something," Nate commented.

"Yeah. I know."

"I thought someone had said that Dr. Cullen had more than just three kids. That's weird."

"My adoptive parents also adopted Rosalie and Jasper, who are 18 year old twins, and Emmett, who is also 18, and Bella, who is 17. Emmett and Bella are siblings also."

"Wow. That sounds complicated." That was some random kid who had joined us since we had started this whole conversation. Actually, now that I looked around, most of my class was listening to my conversation.

"Well, it sort of is, but it is my family, and I love them a lot." I was starting to get a bit defensive of my family. We may be strange, but we always stick together.

"It must be hard to live in a house with seven kids." I had lost track of who was saying what by this point.

You have no idea. I think that I might have forgotten to mention Jake. As to how that happened, I really don't know. I thought to myself.

"It's not too bad."

"Do your older siblings tease you a lot?"

"Un- I mean, Emmett and Jasper do, but Bella and Edward are a lot like parents to me." I sincerely prayed that no one noticed my slip up.

"Why are they like parents to you?" Good. No one caught that I had almost called my 'siblings' 'uncle.'

"Well, Edward and Bella are really close, and they were there for me through the really hard times of my life so far. And my Jake is also always there to help me, not that my family likes that, though. They claim he stinks." I laughed quietly to myself thinking of Aunt Rose's most recent comments about my Jake.

"Did you just call him your Jake?"

Whoops.

"Um, yeah. Like I said, we are really close. It is just a habit I got into. He isn't really mine," I said thinking to myself that if any of these girls even looked at him in a strange way, I would kill them. Huh, that was weird. I never have thought about Jake in any way except as if he were a big brother. I need to talk to Grandpa Carlisle about this later. Maybe he knows what is going on. Definitely don't want daddy to know about this. While he and my Jake got along, they definitely did not care for each other much.

"Nessie! Hey, are you listening to us?"

"Sorry. What were you saying?"

"Does Jake live with your family also?"

"Sometimes. He spends a lot of time at the house with my family, so I guess he technically does."

"How old is he?"

"He's 25."

"Did he get adopted also?"

"No. He was too old to be adopted when he met us. He just lives with us now."

"It must be really crowded in your house."

"No, not really."

"But don't…" The person asking this question stopped to count on his fingers. "Don't ten people live in your house? That has to be a bit crowded at times."

"No, not really." I didn't really want to tell all of these students that my family is actually one of the richest in the world.

"Can you say anything else?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"'Cause, it seems like the only thing you are saying is 'No, not really.'"

"Is that a problem?" I was starting to get annoyed by all of these questions. Where was Uncle Jazz when I needed him?

"It's really annoying."

I started to think of anything I could to keep from getting really mad at these wimpy humans. I was running out of time before I did something really stupid.

"So?" I asked as calmly as I could.

"We are sort of trying to be friendly and you just answer us with the same few words." Some kid was sneering at me.

It was the look that did it.

I snapped.

Please Review! It would make me really, really, really happy!
