"You're kidding me. Please, please tell me you're kidding."
I was looking straight at a building I'd passed by a few times since we'd moved to Alaska a week ago.
"I thought you'd be happy" said Mom, who was handling a backpack, presumably for me.
"Mother, it's a school. With people. Why would I be happy?"
"Nessie, it's a great opportunity! You can make friends with..."
"Humans? Seriously?" I realized my tone of voice was far from polite. Alice, Jazz, Em and Rose had already gone into the building to check in and get their schedules. Only Jake, Mom and Dad were by my side.
"Ness?" Jacob was holding my hand. "I'm going too, you know. Come on! It'll be fun."
I sighed. There was no way to get out of this. I grabbed the pack from my mother's hands.
"I can't believe you are doing this to me."
"Yes, well darling, if we didn't go to school, our cover up for being vampires wouldn't work too well" said my father, looking down at me, amused.
"Yea…whatever."
We walked towards the building, when I suddenly realized something and stopped.
"When we're inside, just so we're clear, there will be no hugging me or kissing my forehead or cheeks, calling me darling, honey, sweetheart, love OR Renesme. It's Nessie."
"Yes. Oh by the way, you're my little sister from now on." Dad said.
"Why aren't I Mom's sister?"
"You look more like me." He said, going through the wide open double doors of the school entrance.
Mom rolled her eyes and followed him. Jake bent down to me and asked me in a cute voice:
"Am I allowed to kiss and hug you?"
I smiled.
"Maybe." I walked away to the building.
