I always dreamed about my first day of school and what it would be like. I was so excited to learn and to meet new people, but it was different now that this day had finally arrived. I was worried now…for some reason. I wasn't worried about not being smart enough, I've always been smart. Before I was one year old I could carry on full conversations with any adult and by the age of three I had read every book in my house. Weird huh? But that's just it, I didn't want to be weird. I wanted to be…normal. Don't get me wrong. I loved who I was and I loved my family. But a teenager's life is hard enough without being different. I just wanted to fit in-

Just then my door opened.

"Renesmee, honey? You should probably get up now." My mother called from the hallway. I sat up to look at her. I kind of looked like her in a way. Her pail skin was flawless, her brown hair was always perfect, and her golden eyes sparkled even in the dark. It almost wasn't fair how beautiful she was. I sighed.

"Yeah…I will." I replied rubbing my eyes. She smiled then closed the door. I got up and looked in my full length mirror. I didn't look like I was seven years old. Since I was born half vampire, I don't grow like a normal person. My mind and my body grow faster then it should. I'm really only seven years old, but mentally and physically I was probably sixteen or seventeen. I was technically seven, and done growing according to Carlisle.

"Ha…normal." I laughed to myself. I guess I was never normal. How can you be if your half vampire? You couldn't. And that's what I was…not normal. See it happened like this. Back when my mother was human she met my vampire father. They fell in love and had me. My mother almost died while giving birth to me and the only way to save her was for her to become a vampire. So anyways, I was born half vampire.

Grandpa Charlie was the only human I really ever talk to. I then wondered if Jake counted as human. I also wondered how well I would do socializing with people at school. I wasn't allowed out of the house much. My family always thought it was too dangerous. My father is the worst about it. He's always afraid something bad is going to happen to me because I'm not as strong as a full vampire. He says I'm too breakable. At least I could still run fast.

I put on a white t-shirt and tight dark blue jeans. Alice wouldn't be proud but I remembered to keep it simple, like my father had told me. He told me it was better of I didn't try to stand out and draw any more unnecessary attention to me. I wondered why he said that. I jumped when I heard a knock on my door.

"Hey," Alice spoke in cheerful voice. "need help with anything?"

I laughed. "Uh yeah," I pointed my brush up to my head. "With my hair."

She skipped into my room and sat lightly on my bed. She started combing through my messy bronze curly hair.

"You excited for today?" She smiled.

"No." Alice could see the future. I wondered if she saw anything interesting for today.

She pulled at my hair when she talked. "Renesemee, don't be nervous." Dang it, Alice could always see right through me.

"I'm not!" I lied. I wanted to try to be brave. "It's just that, there are so many rules to remember. The only thing I should be worried about is where my classes will be." This conversation was making me even more nervous. "I have to remember a lot of stuff."

"Oh you're just being dramatic. Just stick with me and you'll be fine."

"Yeah right. Like it's that easy." I sighed. High school was going to bad, I knew it. When she was finished with my hair I got up to look at it. At least I wouldn't have to worry about my hair for today.

"Just remember the story, you just moved from Ohio. You were adopted by Carlisle and Esme a few years ago, and all of us are now your bothers and sisters." She said smiling. I gave her a hug.

"Thanks Alice." She let go of me. Her eyes were confused as she took in my appearance.

"Your clothes are…nice."

I laughed. I knew she would hate my clothes. "Dad told me to keep it simple. Do you know why he told me that?"

Alice's confusion faded. And she smiled again. "He doesn't want all of the guys at school to flip out over you."

Now I was the one confused. "Why would they do that?" I asked.

"Because you're beautiful Renesmee. You have something about you that just charms everyone around you."

"Is it my second special vampire ability?" I laughed half joking. My first special vampire ability was when I touched someone I could show them things I have seen or just talk to them through my mind with I touched them. Anyways I had gotten pretty good at it. I could control it well now. If I touched someone on accident I could turn my power off if I needed too, which was helpful for crowded school hallways.

"Maybe. I don't know what it is. But you just have something that just draws people to you." I looked at myself in the mirror. I guess I wasn't as plain as I thought I was. I sighed.

"I think we're seeing two different people." I turned to face her.

"No." She stood and put her hands on my shoulders. "We're both looking at Renesmee Carlie Cullan, the most beautiful girl in the world."

I smiled. That was an over statement. But maybe I was being too hard on myself, and maybe just maybe high school would be okay.
