Hey everyone! So I know I have a bazillion unfinished stories out there but I had to put this one down. I'm a total Twihard (Twitard as my sister calls it) and I haven't done a Twilight story in a while. So here is my newest Twilight-Degrassi Crossover, NESSIE GOES TO SCHOOL. Hope you enjoy it!
CHAPTER | ONE
"Dad! You have to get over it!" I screamed. "I'm not a baby anymore!"
We were outside in the woods on our way home when he brought it up, the fact that I'm too young for this or that. Mom had gone home ahead of us so it was just me and him. It led me to wonder whether or not she knew what he wanted to talk to me about or not. I mean, he was the mind reader, not her. He'd been so protective lately that it was suffocating me. He knew it too. Yet he still couldn't stop. I wished with all my heart that he would accept me as the age I look and act but that was a lost cause. He still treated me like I wasn't even two years old yet. My actual birthday was in four months, once school started up. Grandpa said it would be a good idea for me to go to public school next year so Dad enrolled me for the last few months to see if I could "handle it". But now he was even thinking of going to school with me. I may be only twenty months old but I looked and acted like I was fourteen. I grew up a lot faster than a human kid would. It's thanks to my vampire lineage. Mom's still scared, I can tell. She doesn't know what's going to happen to me. I know though. I'll look 17 and stop there forever. Nahuel was the same as me and that's where he stopped.
"Renesmee," Dad growled, using my full name. "You know you're not experienced enough for this yet. I don't agree with Carlisle."
"Well I'm never going to get the experience I need to live if I don't get out sometime!" I shouted. "Mom, will agree with me!"
Dad growled and grumbled all the way back to our cabin in the woods. Over the last year my room had been changed dramatically by Grandma. She switched out my crib for a bed with rails and took the rails off a week later. All of the baby stuff went away fast except for the views of my father.
I kissed Mom and Dad goodnight as we got home and went straight to my room. I turned out the lights and got in bed but didn't go to sleep. Dad must not have been thinking straight because he spoke loudly, either not caring that I was listening or believing the act only Mom would fall for.
"I don't trust this Degrassi place," he said. I could hear his shoes tapping on the floor, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. He was pacing and he only did that when he was super stressed. It's such a human thing to do.
Judging by the distance of Mom's voice she was sitting in bed. I heard a sigh. "This will be good for her."
"How do you know that? This school has had fighting problems all year. At the winter dance they had one kid with a knife." The last part sounded panicked. "A knife, Bella. I mean…"
I heard Mom's feet hit the ground and cross over to Dad. There was a silence in which I guessed she kissed him to shut him up. "She's your daughter," she said. "She's tough. Nobody can hold a gun to you and threaten you. I'm sure a knife isn't a life or death thing for her no matter where they try to strike her."
Dad growled.
"She's better than you give her credit for," Mom said. Her footsteps led their way back to the bed, followed hesitantly by Dad's.
"I give her only the credit she deserves," he said.
I guess Mom rolled her eyes. "Well, you're not seeing that she deserves more."
"I'll see it in thirteen years when she's caught up on her age."
"She's smarter than most teenagers," Mom defended.
"She's not like most teenagers. She's special." Dad's shoes hit the floor again. Back and forth, back and forth.
"She's going to grow up sooner or later, Edward. At least let her ease her way into it. We don't want her to grow up just knowing vampires and werewolves."
"What about Charlie? Or Sue?" Dad asked. "They're both humans."
"They're family," Mom sighed. "She's never met a human teenager before. She's so anti-social because of us."
Dad seemed to snap back to reality because he focused and shouted to me. "Go to sleep!"
I heard him one last time as I faded to sleep. "I don't like it… But I'll let her go to school."
I got to school the next day. Everyone seemed to give me funny looks. Even I knew though that a new girl in the last month of school was a little unusual. Most people seemed too scared to approach me, like they knew I wasn't all human. I tried not to touch anyone all day, just to make sure I never made anyone see anything. I wore gloves so as to not have to shake the teacher's hands directly.
There seemed to be two students braver than the others that approached me, although it might have been the girl's job. They appeared to me at different times at the day. The girl greeted me in my first class. She had strawberry blonde hair like Tanya's and steel green eyes.
"You're new here, right?" she asked me. "Vanessa?"
It was Dad's idea I go by the name Vanessa. He felt that the name Renesmee would draw too much attention to me.
"Just Nessie," I corrected the girl. I wanted to stay true to myself in some way.
She smiled widely at me. "Well, I'm Holly J Sinclair, your student body vice president. If there's anything I can help you with, feel free to ask me anything. And I mean anything, even about the guys here."
I smiled back at her uneasily. "Thanks but no thanks," I said. "I have a boyfriend."
"Oh really?" she asked looking shocked. "How old are you?"
I rolled my eyes. She was sounding like Dad. "I'm fourteen, and he's sixteen. He's the love of my life and I wouldn't trade him for the world." I played it up because she sounded like the kind of girl who just dreamed of playing matchmaker. I didn't need anyone except Jacob.
I looked around at the uniforms and the ugly thing I was forced to wear to school. "I actually do have one question, Holly."
"Holly J," she corrected me politely.
"Right," I sighed. "Sorry Holly J. Anyway, what's with the uniforms?"
"It's a long story," she said, lowering her head. "I'm not the best point of view to hear that story from." The bell rang so I didn't get to persist on hearing the story. I could tell she played a part in bringing the uniforms to Degrassi and she wasn't all too happy about it.
Nobody else talked to me for the next three periods. One girl kept giving me funny glances like I was WAY too young to be in that class. Advanced Media, I was a class for grades 10, 11 and 12 but most of the kids were grade 12. I learned from the teacher, Ms. Oh, that the staring girl's name was Anya. Did she know there was something off about me? Her friend was looking at me too, shyly. I thought it might be due to the fact that Anya was looking at me. I didn't learn the other girl's name. She didn't talk in class.
I couldn't have been happier when lunch rolled around. I sat down wherever I could find and some kid walked up to me. "New here?" he asked, though his voice was soft. I just nodded. Aunt Rose had packed me a sandwich for lunch but I hated human food. I wasn't all that hungry anyway. I'd go hunting after school. "My friends and I normally sit here," he informed me. I stood up, sorry for intruding on his space but he stopped me. "It's okay, you can stay. We don't mind having another addition." I smiled slightly and dug through my lunch bag. A sandwich and a small piece of steak. I'm guessing Aunt Alice threw the steak in for me. I tossed the sandwich out of the bag and onto the table.
"You know, that could feed a whole third world country," a gothic looking guy told me, coming up to the table. "It's such a waste of food."
"Are you bad mouthing the new girl?" I familiar voice growled behind me.
The Goth backed up a step. "Not at all. I'm just saying—"
"I'm just saying sit down before I make you sit down." The Goth sat down across from the other guy quickly. I smiled and turned around to face him.
"Jacob!" I shrilled, jumping into his arms.
"So she does talk," mumbled the first guy.
Jacob hugged me tightly. I had always lived and been at home or hunting around there so I'd never been away from Jacob long. Being away from him made me feel sort of empty. I knew I couldn't live without him.
Holly J came up to us and ruined the moment. "Is this your boyfriend?" she asked obtrusively.
"In fact it is," I said. He put me down and I smiled up at him. I only came up to his chest. "Holly, this is Jacob. Jacob, Holly."
"It's Holly J, actually," she told Jacob shaking his hand.
Jacob didn't acknowledge it and turned back to me. "So what's up cutie?" he asked me.
"Not much," I shrugged. I reached across the table and grabbed the sandwich. "You want it?" I said holding it up to him. "Aunt Rose made it for me but I hate it."
"Blondie made it?" Jacob asked skeptically. "Is it poisoned?"
I laughed. "I'm pretty sure she would have hoped I was going to eat it. She's not going to poison me."
Goth Boy gave me a funny look. "Is poison a laughing matter?"
"When you're me it is," I said, still beaming at Jacob. Goth shrugged and pulled out a sandwich of his own.
Holly J looked sort of awkward standing here and Jake noticed it. "Yo J!" he said loudly. "Why don't you go hang with some of those preppy freaks?"
I hit him lightly on the arm, though I knew a crowbar couldn't make a dent in his werewolf skin. "Jacob, don't be mean," I scolded. "Actually, Holly J, I do have another question."
"Go for it," she said, obviously pleased I used the name she preferred.
I sighed. "Who's that Anya chick?" She looked slightly confused so I elaborated. "You know, the one with brown-ish red hair. I think her last name starts with an M."
Realization hit Holly J's face. "Oh, you mean Anya MacPhearson. Why? How, how do you know her?"
"She was kind of staring at me during Advanced Media. She and some other chick."
Goth almost spit out his food. "You're in Advanced Media?"
"Yeah, why?" I grabbed Jacob's hand and conveyed the same question to him through my methods. He gave me a smile like 'I-have-no-clue' so I was assuming I hadn't missed anything.
"That's a tough class," the first boy informed me.
"The other 'chick' could have been Fiona," Holly J said, ignoring the boys. "She's my best friend. I could go see what's up and get back to you." I nodded and she trotted off.
Jacob sighed heavily. "She's annoyingly optimistic. It reminds me of Seth."
The two boys exchanged a glace. "Who's Seth?" Goth asked.
"Just this kid I know," Jacob said plainly. "He's sort of like a little brother to me."
The curiosity was killing me. "So what are your names?" I blurted. The first guy looked really apologetic and explained that he was Adam and his friend was Eli. Adam seemed like a sweet kind of kid. Someone I could be friends with. My only friends were werewolves. I don't think that really counts.
The bell for lunch to end rang and Adam and Eli said bye and went into the building. I hugged Jacob, telling him in my way that I'd meet him after school. He left for the woods and I heard a wolf howl as soon as I could no longer see him. The rest of my day was pretty uneventful. Everyone avoided me again and I didn't see Holly J, Adam or Eli the entire time.
So that's the first chapter. Let me know what you think. Leave a review. Even if it's just a smiley face or a sad face. The reviews really push me to keep going. I promise I am getting to work on the other stories right now so cool your jets. KEEP ROCKING WORLD!
