"You heard right. Follow me."

As we were walking, I could hear the only heart beat in the house. Jacob's heart seemed at ease. Although it was a different speed, it was normal for him. He didn't worry about me like my dad did. He knew that every time I made a decision , I had though of every possible situation that could go wrong, and thought of a solution. And he was right. I had thought of every possible thing that could go wrong, and thought of every solution for said problem.

So my father couldn't read what I was about to say, I thought about how to convert the alphabet, into sign language (complements of Alice.) In the case that he would automatically say no, without hearing what I had to say in the matter. And I took no chances, he was going to listen to me, and he was going to listen good.

As we sat down in the living room, my parents on the sofa across from me, and Jacob in the chair diagonally from me. " I would like it if you, please, kindly, stay out of my mind, I want this to be a surprise to all of you. No cheating." I said to my dad.

" I'm happy to oblige, I was getting sick of the sign language any way." he smiled.

" Thanks." I said.

" Okay, you're all probably wondering what I'm going to say. And I promise that, I have thought about this and every single thing that could go wrong, and it's solution. So, hear me out. Okay," I breathed. " I want to go to High School."

Semi akward silence. Then, my mom chimed in.

"I think it's a GREAT idea!" my dad shot a look at her. " I always knew that Renesme was missing something. I mean, all her life she's been surrounded by her family. She needs to go experience life. What's out there. She's always had great social skills. I think its about time she used them to make her own friends. You have to face the fact that she's not as breakable as you think." she finished.

" I just wish that there was a way that I knew that you could be perfectly safe. Secure. That I didn't have to worry about her." my dad said.

" Hello dad. Right here." I waved to him.

" Edward, if you're really that worried that something will go wrong, I'll with her for the first month. Will that make you happy?" she proposed.

In the seconds that followed what my mother had said, I knew that he had no way around it. That his hands were tied. It was as much as he could asked for. I won, case closed. And I didn't mind in the least bit that my mom would be coming to school with me. I mean, she was forever frozen at 18. She could be a senior, and could be a Junior.

There was a silence. The Jacob called things to his attention

" I know you're all dying to know what my opinion in the matter, and to tell you the truth, I was sold on the idea before Bella even said she'd go with her. If she wants to go to High School, let her go. You know how many parents would kill to have a kid like Renesme? She WANTS to go to High School. But EVERYONE wants to have friends." Jacob said.

The phone rang. I picked it up and put it on speaker phone, having seen the number on the screen in less than a second.

" Hi Alice," I said, putting the phone on the coffee table in the middle of all of us.

" So, when do I need to come over?" she asked.

" Why would you need to come over?" I asked.

" Oh, I think I knew where this is going," my dad mumbled.

" School shopping!! Bella isn't an expert in that area of expertise as I am. So, when do you want me to come?" she asked.

" Well, we haven't really worked out the formalities of it yet. Edward just agreed to it now. And I suppose you already know how I'm going to go with her the first month of school, too right?" My mom said to Alice.

" Yes, I do, and I'm going to try my best with you. You Renesme have always liked it when I helped her pick out cloths. Bella, just keep in mind, its only a month, so we don't need to get you a lot of clothes. Renesme on the other hand, needs a season's worth" she explained.

" OH! And have you thought about the paper work already Bella? I could to J. Jenkins for you? Just tell me what you need." she offered.

" Oh, yes, thanks for reminding me. Okay, I need 2 birth certificates, that say, I'm 18 and Renesme is 17," my mom said.

" Uh- huh," Alice said, I new that she didn't need to write it down.

" A Drivers License," my mom continued.

" 2 licenses, thank you very much." I corrected.

" Oh, forgot that Jacob taught you how last year. Sorry sweetie." my mom said with sincerity in her voice.

" Its alright" I replied in the same tone.

" Um, school papers, and uh, I don't know what else. I've only been to High School once, so I think you know more than I do with the paperwork." my mom said.

"You're right. Okay, I know what you need. I'll be there in 2 weeks." There was a pause, and I could tell that Alice had seen something that others couldn't. " Rose will be there too. She's upstairs and heard me, and wants to come too. See you in two weeks!!" my aunt promised. Then, there was a dial tone.

" So, its official," My dad started.

" I'M GOING TO HIGH SCHOOL!!" I exclaimed jumping up.
