Chapter 2

McKinley High school

Renesmee POV.

I lay in bed, wide awake. Why can't I sleep? I've never been nervous for going to school…. Well maybe it's because I've gone to the same school my whole life. I looked over at the clock. 3 o'clock!

I groaned. This is about the time granddad leaves for work. I hope no hears that I am awake.

"knock knock" the door slowly opens and a tall blonde vampire is at my door smiling.

"Uncle Jazz, I was about to go back to sleep don't worry," I assure him, as I sit up.

"Ness darlin, I know that you are nervous about tomorrow," he walks slowly towards my bed and sits at the end of it. "you can still change your mind" he said with that sly smile of his.

"Uncle Jazz, I didn't mean to hurt everyone's feelings when I said I didn't want them to come to school with me," I whispered so only he could hear. I wanted to go to high school like a normal teen and not with my parents, aunts, and uncles hovering and being super protective.

"Renesmee, you didn't hurt our feelings, darlin," he smiled and raised his arms and I crawled into his embrace. "Well, maybe Alice's, but no school means more time for her to work on her clothing line," he chuckled, and I rolled my eyes.

"Go to sleep. Tomorrow you will go to McKinley, make new friends, and maybe join the cheerios," he added with a wink.

I grimace. "Uncle Jazz I don't want to join cheerios! The girls will probably be jerks!" I protested.

"You can't believe everything you see on movies, darlin" He said with a sigh.

Suddenly my eyes became heavy. I turned my tired eyes to glare at Jasper. Sometimes his gift bothers me. I don't feel in control when he uses it. He kissed my forehead and whispered "goodnight darlin."

"Night Jaaaazz," I mumbled drowsily, he chuckled and slowly rocked me comfortingly. I was glad to know that no matter how old I am, I am still my Uncle Jasper's little niece.

333333333333333333

Standing under the bus sign at the end of the road, I took a deep breath. I was crazy nervous, uncle Jazz and aunt Alice left for their yearly trip to Paris after they wished me luck on my first day of school, and Alice promised to text me each time I was at my locker.

"Don't worry sweetie, your first day will be great, trust me." She had whispered in my ear and winked. That had made me feel better.

Emmett stood with me, he insisted on making sure I got picked up. I rolled my eyes, my crazy over protective uncle, but when I looked at that goofy smile on his face while he waits for my bus with me, I couldn't be angry.

The bus pulled up and I looked up at him for help, he gave me a quick kiss on my cheek, quick enough that the kids on the bus, who stared wide, eyed at the large muscular guy and his tall beautiful niece, who didn't look too tall next to her uncle who towered over her five foot six by a foot, couldn't see.

"Bye uncle Emmy," I whispered.

"Bye baby doll" he said. I smiled at the nickname he had given me the first time he held me pointing out that I was the size of a baby doll. He smiled back.

I walked at human speed to the school bus door, and through the crowded bus toward an empty seat in the back. I kept my head down, but I stilled noticed the large jocks all whistling when I walked by.

I growled under my breath, when the one that I could tell was the leader called out to me "hey hotty!" I prayed in my head that Emmett hadn't heard that.

I sat down and everyone stared, after about thirty seconds they all went back to their conversations to my relief.

I looked at each friend group wondering which group I would be associated with. Jocks, no, cheerleaders, no, geniuses, no, Goths, no, I may be a vampire but I am not Goth like Hollywood thinks we are.

I sighed, before looking over and seeing a group in the bench next to mine. I glanced over, I didn't mean to stare but it was a strange group.

A young man, maybe a bit older than me, was very well dressed in designer clothing. Of course that wasn't a shock to me, my whole family wore designer, straight from Europe. I was guessing he was gay but I didn't want to start labeling, and a black girl in a big flashy necklace and brightly colored clothing.

They were complete opposite, but by what I could tell they were the best of friends. I used to have best friends, but they are in Forks still. I miss Samantha and Abigail.

I immediately felt grief. I never had time to mourn the over the move with Jasper there and my other family members distracting me, but now I was alone.

I heard someone say 'reddish haired girl' and I immediately turned my attention to the conversation. It was the strange pair the designer boy and flashy girl. I looked over at them they had the look of pity on their faces they were staring right at me.

The girl whispered in the boy's ear, "She's crying!" I turned my head toward the window and wiped a tear that was on my cheek.

I felt a light tap on my shoulder, to my surprise the boy was on the on the other side of the bench I was on and the girl was sitting in the empty one in front of me. "Hi I'm Kurt Hummel and this is Mercedes Jones" the boy said in a soft voice.

"Hi, my name is Renesmee Cullen, but you can call me Nessie or Ness, the name my mom gave me is a mouth full" I say with a polite smile.

"Tell us about yourself," said Mercedes with a grin.

"Uh ok… where would you like me to begin?" I asked.

"how about your family?" Kurt asked still smiling. Wow these people are nice…

"Alright, um" I had rehearsed all the lines that Granddad told me to say "my parents died when I was two my brother was eight. We were both adopted my Esme and Carlisle, my parents, who were already fostering their orphaned niece and nephew Jasper and Rosalie who are fraternal twins. I consider them my siblings. My brother is twenty now and has been married to my new sister in law Bella for about six months.

My sister Rose is twenty two and is married to Emmett who is twenty four and Jasper and his nineteen year old fiancée Alice are getting married in soon. Unfortunately Mom, Rose, Bella, and Alice are unable to have children," I frowned so did Mercedes and Kurt. I knew that my mother is fine with only having one child, Esme already has her hands full with six children and a granddaughter, and Alice doesn't remember being human so doesn't suffer much, but my poor Aunt Rose cries at least three times a month in her room praying for a child. I would give anything to make my aunt happy.

"so they all consider me like their shared child," I laugh. "That's about it, whose next?" I asked.

Kurt raised his hand up high and whispered, "me me!" Mercedes and I laughed

"My name is Kurt Hummel, I am gay" which didn't surprise me but I am not homophobic so I smiled and nodded for him to continue, I guess he stopped speaking to see my reaction. He smiled back and continued "I live with my dad, my mother died when I was eight, drunk driver," I frowned so did Cedes.

"I also live with my step mother Carole and step brother Finn, who is sixteen like me, he is playing hooky today and I am covering for him," he said and I laughed. Playing hooky on the first day of school, I wonder what Esme would say.

"you're a good brother" I commented.

"I know" he said with a wink.

"Rachel!" Cedes called out suddenly. a short tannish girl with brown hair sat next to Cedes on the bench and introduced herself to me.

"Ok can I continue since I was so rudely interrupted?" he glared at Rachel, she smiled and we all nodded when suddenly I realized we were surrounded.

A thin blonde boy that somewhat resembled Justin Bieber sat in front of Rachel and gave her a quick kiss. His name was Sam and he was Rachel's boyfriend. He was very sweet and told me if anyone messed with me he would take care of it, we all laughed. Looks like I have another bodyguard but this one wasn't in my family.

There were two blonde cheerleaders named Quinn and Brittany, Quinn dated a mohawked jock Noah but they called him Puck, he seemed nice but sarcastic. Britt said she was dating a boy named Artie. She also mentioned that he is in a wheelchair. He was in a car accident. He wasn't on the bus, but riding to school with his dad. She also told me that she loves ducks.

There was another cheerleader, a Latina whose boyfriend Matt, another jock who was really nice, said that her name was Santana. By the way she looked at me I could tell she didn't like me, but that didn't stop me from smiling and trying to start conversation, only to have her roll her eyes at me.

I frowned and Cedes moved to whisper in my ear "don't take it personally, she only talks to Matt and Brittney."

Then there was Mike and Tina. Tina was great, but looked more vampire than I did. Mike is super thin, yet muscular, and he promised that once we got to school he would show me some of his moves. Tee went on and on about his dancing I just nodded and listened politely, my family was more of the ballroom dancing type, so I was sort of excited to see him break dance.

Kurt's boyfriend Blaine eventually showed up and Kurt moved to sit with him and Cedes moved to take his place next to me. Blaine seemed like a nice guy just like Kurt.

"I love your curly hair!" I complimented, "my brother in law, Emmett, has the same texture and curls! My sister forbids him to brush it, brushing takes the curl out so he just runs his hand through it each day," I laughed.

"Isn't it hot? I refuse to let him gel it it's just so cute curly!" Kurt exclaimed, we all laughed and continued our conversation.

They told me all about the teachers there, they said the best teacher was Mr. Shue and the worst was Miss. Sylvester. Tina told me that principal Figgins is afraid of vampires, and we all laughed as she told the story about her telling him her father was king of the vampires.

My father's worst enemy is the 'king of the vampires' his name is Aro, I thought in my head. I wouldn't dare say it out loud, I liked my new friends, and didn't want them to be killed by a group of evil vampires, or be totally freaked out.

The bus came to a sudden stop and we all fell and hit the seat in front of us, we groaned and the bus driver Miss. Yuken shouted "GET OFF." Our group was the first to jump up and rush for the door.

I was last behind Kurt. While we half ran off the bus the leader jock, named David (but everyone called him Karofsky), held his foot out in the aisle everyone just jumped over it, but I didn't see it. He tripped me and I fell onto the filthy floor of the bus.

Everyone gasped, Kurt and Cedes half shouted my name as I fell. I blushed, everyone was staring at me. I felt someone roughly pulling me up by my arm, and I looked up to see Karofsky with a half amused half embarrassed expression.

"Sorry, hotty, I meant to trip the gay club," my friends had told me about glee club and I was going to join, I love singing. I glared at him and tried to push his hand away at first with human strength then I gave up and used my vampire strength and he released immediately. I got out of the bus as fast as I could go at the sluggish human speed I was required.

To my surprise my new friends were ready to fight for me and didn't expect my retreat, they rushed after me.

I was embarrassed and tried to get to the bathroom to get the gum out of my hair and maybe cry a little and hope Alice doesn't see me.

"Ness! Ness! Wait for us!" someone called, but I was already in the bathroom standing at one of the many mirrors and groaning at my hair. All the glee girls (minus Santana) and Kurt were in there with me. Kurt already had a brush out and the girls where helping me get the gum out.

Thank goodness it came out easily and didn't leave anything still stuck. Kurt ran a brush through my hair then helped me get my natural curls back out. A tear ran down my face and Quinn wiped it away from my cheek.

"It'll be ok, Puck and the other guys told me they will get him. shhh it's ok" she said comfortingly.

I nodded "and the guys told Artie about you and what happened and he's going to go get you signed up for glee" Britt said after reading a text off her phone.

"I just sent you all of our numbers" Kurt said putting his phone away. My phone vibrated I pulled it out and set each contact.

When we walked out I was introduced to Mr. Shue and Artie, and was given the class schedule. I had at least one of my new friends in each class except English when I had Finn, Kurt had grabbed his schedule for him since he was 'sick'.

We split up for our first class, I skipped eighth grade and am in many sophomores classes though I am a freshman. My friends are all sophomores. I started to walk toward my U.S history class with Blaine, when Rachel pulled me aside.

"You will have to try out for glee, do you want to have music or what?" she asked.

"um I don't have one picked out," I whispered.

"That's no problem, here's a list of songs that Brad, glee's pianist, knows," she hands me about fifteen sheets of paper with hundreds of songs on them.

"Ok thanks" I say trying to hide my panic, as she smiles and runs off to her first period, Science

. I bite my lip, a habit I inherited from my mother, and walked to where Blaine stood.

He looked over my papers, once we had taken our seats in the table at the back, and chuckled. "don't worry me and Kurt will help you pick out a song," he said handing my papers back to me.

"Thank you so much!" I said and grabbed him for a hug. He laughed and the bell rang. Now begins my first day being a McKinley high student.

333333333333333333

It is the end of the day, time for glee. I was excited to see all my friends together in one place, without being split up in each class. I sat between Cedes and Quinn in the large auditorium, biting my lip again nervously.

"Mr. Shue do we all have to try out for glee again? I mean of course Nessie has to, but the rest of us are already in, right?" Puck called out to Mr. Shue who stood on stage in front of us.

"hmm ok I'll let you all slide but if we are singing onstage and you've lost your voice you had last year you're out!" he said with a laugh everyone joined in, but I was too nervous to laugh so I just smiled.

"Alright let's have Ness up here to sing her song," Mr. Shue announced. Everyone clapped besides Santana of course and I walked up on stage my stomach doing somersaults.

"Hi" I said wow I sound nervous "I am going to be singing 'Lipstick' by Elise Estrada" I announced I took a deep breath and began to sing.

"Ooooo oooo no no no no no no

I knew the lipstick won't fix it

But I gotta put my game face on

I wish mascara could mask this

Until all the tears are gone

I gotta paint the pain away

Make like I'm okay

Pretend I don't wanna stay

Act like this ain't killing me

I've tried 1, 2, 3 too many times

I've heard 1, 2, 3 too many lies

So I gotta pretend that I'm not gonna miss you

Gotta pretend that this is what I wanna do

I gotta pretend when I walk out the door

That I don't love you anymore

Gotta play the part act like it ain't killing me

Gotta play the part when you try stopping me

Hide what's written on my face

Dig deep in the makeup case

And cover it with lipstick

I'm sick of looking in the mirror

Cause my mirror sees right through

Mac ain't got enough concealer

To hide how much I miss you

I've gotta cover up my hurt

No more getting burnt

I really need to let you go

Cause my heart can't take no more

I've tried 1, 2, 3 too many times

I've heard 1, 2, 3 too many lies

So I gotta pretend that I'm not gonna miss you

Gotta pretend that this is what I wanna do

I gotta pretend when I walk out the door

That I don't love you anymore

Gotta play the part act like it ain't killing me

Gotta play the part when you try stopping me

Hide what's written on my face

Dig deep in the makeup case

And cover it with lipstick

It's the hardest role I'll ever have to play

It's the hardest lie I'll ever have to make

To look you in the eye and not break down and cry

When I say goodbye

So I gotta pretend that I'm not gonna miss you

Gotta pretend that this is what I wanna do

I gotta pretend when I walk out the door

That I don't love you anymore

Gotta play the part act like it ain't killing me

Gotta play the part when you try stopping me

Hide what's written on my face

Dig deep in the makeup case

So I gotta pretend that I'm not gonna miss you

Gotta pretend that this is what I wanna do

I gotta pretend when I walk out the door

That I don't love you anymore

Gotta play the part act like it ain't killing me

Gotta play the part when you try stopping me

Hide what's written on my face

Dig deep in the makeup case

And cover it with lipstick"

When I finished everyone had a shocked smile on their faces except Santana who had a shocked scowl. I blushed when they erupted into applaud. "Thanks" I said once they were finished my phone vibrated but I ignored it.

Once I was off stage everyone complimented me on my singing and Mr. Shue said I was most likely going to get many solos and leads, and Rachel nodded. I was relieved she didn't hate me, I knew she got nearly ever lead and solo and was afraid she might be angry.

We practiced for the rest of the time and then headed for the bus. I knew I had an unanswered text and we weren't supposed to be on the bus for another ten minutes so I excused myself and headed for the bathroom, again Kurt and the girls followed me. I guess it's some kind of human thing. I went into a stall and open my text.

I saw you audition! When you were finished I started cheering. I think Jasper thought I lost my mind ;) don't worry I didn't tell Grandma or Aunt Rose, I knew you would want to. Way to go sweetie you did great! I love you a bunch! -Aunt Alice

I smiled and giggled quietly. You've got to love Alice.
