l Dusk Ch.2 New School

When I woke up, I found mom-or Bella, I guess as I now have to call her, hovering over me.

"Honey, wake up. Its time to get ready for school. Your uniform is in the closet."

"Oh...uniform?"

"Yes, didn't we tell you about that? Well, maybe we didn't.", she mused.

'Well, gee, that wouldn't be the first time you forgot to tell me something. Like, oh, I don't know, Jacob and I being destined to be together." I was laying the sarcasm on pretty thickly, but I didn't feel guilty- yet. After all, my whole family kept a pretty big secret from me.

"You heard that..."

"Yes, I heard that. I heard on you guys chatting in the kitchen."

"I'm sorry... we just didn't want you to be pressured into loving Jake. Your dad-I mean, Edward- and I wanted you to have a normal life, and fall in love and get married and be happy without werewolves coming into the factor. That is, if we could avoid it." She sounded sincere never liked to be mad at her, so I guess I would forgive her.

"Ok, I forgive you. And dad, Jacob Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rose, Esme and Carlisle."

"Good", she smiled," Now get ready for school, and hurry up, please."

"Your wish is my command" We giggled

I got ready for school quickly, along with everyone else, saying good morning to everyone as I passed them. For breakfast, I had my favorite: Cheerios with sugar toast with butter and strawberry jam, and a banana. Our school uniform was anything but plain-something I wasn't expecting. The shirt was white with gold cuffs: the skirt white, red, and gold plaid: the socks white (and soft) : and the shoes black. Although I could wait to get to school, I wanted to know what the school looked like. When Edward and Bella went to go sign us up, I stayed with Jacob. We ate chocolate without mom's permission. I smiled and laughed.

"What's so funny?" Rose asked.

"Nothing." She didn't like that-I could tell by the look on her face, disgruntled and amused.

"Renesmee Carlie Cullen, we can do this the easy way or the hard way." Oh, she can be threatening when she wants to be, but Rose's version of "the hard way" is tickling me. I giggle.

"Oh ok, I was remembering when Jake and I ate chocolate behind Bella's back"

"Oh..." After she said that, she turned and said, "See you at school. Emmett and I are taking the BMW with Alice and Jasper." How odd... I don't think she likes Jacob anymore, not that she really ever did, but I thought she was coming to like him a little. Oh, well. I wonder if her sudden disinterest in Jacob has to do with my knowing about imprinting.

"Ok, bye", I replied.

Edward, Bella, Jacob, and I got out of the Volvo in the school's parking lot.

"Wow.", Jacob and I said at the same time. The school was magnificent! There were fountains and gardens with gorgeous flowers, tables with colorful umbrellas on top, and even an elevator! It was like the school board gave the school tons of money and said "Have fun!" What if I don't fit in here? I worried. I've never fit in anywhere, what with my not being full human or full vampire. I frowned.

"Nessie, you'll be fine. If they don't like you, I will make them like you." Edward said.

"He's right," mom replied," If they don't like you, I promise you they will have their faces re-arranged." She smirked. I laughed, and then sighed. I don't think the kids' parents would like their kid's face re-arranged.

But, then again, it's a thought.

Jacob and I entered our first class-biology. Biology isn't my favorite but I passed notes to Jacob most of the time. The rest of the time he played with my hair. At the end of class, a blonde haired, blue eyed girl came up to us.

"Hello. My name is Phoebe. Phoebe Minder.", she said. She seemed friendly.

"Hi. My name is Renesmee Cullen, and this is Jacob Black."

"Oh, that's right, you are all adopted. Renesmme is a very original name, but really pretty."

"Thank you. I like your name, too. So, what's your next class?"

"Gym- what's yours?"

"Um... I have literature and Jacob-"

"I have gym also." He cut me off. I was disappointed that Phoebe had a different class, and jealous that Jacob had the same class as her.

"Cool. Well, Renesmee, I'll see you at lunch?", her uncertiany making it a question.

"Yes, you will. Bye, guys."

"Bye, Nessie", Jacob said. And then they left.

Finding my literature class was very complex. I turned the wrong way twice, and I bumped into someone. Thankfully he was very cute.

"Oh, I'm so sorry", I apologized. I looked up at him. He had the cutest brown eyes, and short sandy blonde hair. He wore the boy's school uniform. Which was plain compared to the girl's uniform. The shirt had white, red, and gold plaid: the pants were all black: and he had on black shoes.

"Oh, don't be. It was my fault. Hey, you're new here, aren't you? My name is Tyler Cailden, by the way."

"Yea, I'm new here. My name is Renesmee Cullen. I'm trying to find my literature class-unfortunately; I'm not having very much luck." I laughed.

"That's where I'm headed." he seemed surprised." I could show you the way", he continued.

"Oh, that would be wonderful. Thanks." I was very relieved. When we finally got to our class our teacher, Mr. Varner had already stated class.

"Sorry we're late, Mr. Varner. I was showing Renesmee around the school.", Tyler said.

"Oh, that's quite alright. You are Renesmee Cullen, are you not?"

"Yes, sir. I am."

"Ok, well then, take a seat next to Tyler. You can read his book until you get your own" After that, Mr. Varner talked about how wonderful everyone's essay was and that the class had earned sodas. After class, I talked to Tyler again. I took me a while to notice, but I liked him, and really liked him.

"So, how did you like class?" he asked.

"Well, let's see..." I pretended to think about it." Free sodas just for good essays? I love this class" He laughed.

"All classes are like that."

"Really? Wow." I was really surprised.

"Yea, so will you sit by me at lunch?"

"Um... sure. I'm also sitting my Phoebe Minder, do you mind?"

"No, Phoebe and I are brother and sister."

"You are? But you have different last names."

"Well, step-brother and sister. My dad got married to her mom after divorcing with my mom."

"What happened to her dad?" I could tell by his expressions that that was the question he didn't want me to ask.

"Her dad died of cancer..."

"Oh..." I dropped the subject.

We walked to lunch talking about school, who the teachers were, and who to avoid. When we got to the cafeteria, Jacob called me over to the table where everyone was sitting at. Edward looked at me with raised eyebrows. He obviously wanted to know why I had a crush on Tyler. I was overtaken by the truth of my own words. I've never liked anyone as more than a friend, besides my family. I take it Jacob wouldn't like that bit of information very much. I just wouldn't tell him, then.

"Renesmme, who is he?" Jacob demanded. I narrowed my eyes.

"He has a name. It's Tyler. Use it.", I knew I was being harsh, but at the moment, I really didn't care. How could Jacob be so...mean? Had he always been that way?

"And, anyway," I continued, "Tyler is a friend. Where's Phoebe? Why isn't she flirting with you?" His face turned red, and his hands started shaking. Oh, no, I went too far. What if he turns all wolf-y here? , I thought worriedly.

"Jake, calm down." Bella said. Mom and me were the only ones that could calm Jake down in a situation like this.

"Nessie, you went too far. Don't goad him like that. You know he's only being overprotective." Edward said.

"What if I don't want to be protected?" Jacob and Edward winced.

"Nessie, you are just mad, you don't mean that.", Alice said. I felt guilty.

"Yes, you're right." I sigh. "Listen, I'm sorry, but I need to go over to Tyler. He must be getting worried." I showed (I can show people what I want with my hands. It's my gift. Pretty cool, right?) Jacob that I was sorry, and I left the table to go over to Tyler and Phoebe.

After that, school was fairly boring. A few people talked to me, but I forgot all their names as soon as they said them. I hate when people pretended to like me, and that's what most of the kids did. I had some classes with Alice and Jasper, some with Bella and Edward, and some with Jacob. Talking to Jake wasn't very hard, but most of the time he just asked me about Tyler. His questions mainly consisted of Do you like him? In which I lied about, saying that I did like him, but not more than a friend: or what did you two talk about? In that I told the truth, but I left out the part about Phoebe and Tyler being related. I don't think he'd like that part, either. I was very glad that the friendship between Jacob and I was nice and friendly again, but I somewhat didn't

want our friendship to grow.

When I got home, everyone kept asking me how my day was and who did I meet, but I had the feeling that they already knew who I met and what I did, they were just being polite. Rose and I had a very embarrassing sex talk, which I mainly blushed and kept quiet while she got everything off of her chest. Zafrina (one of my friends who can show me pretty pictures with her mind, which is her gift) called to say hi and wanted to know what we've been up to. She had some exciting news for me: she was coming to visit in a week! Zafina is my godmother, in case anything happens to the Cullen's and Jacob with the Voturi. Yes, the Volturi have been keeping tabs on me to see if I had exposed the secret, but so far there has only been two visits from Aro, Marcus, and Cauis and Aro and I mainly talked about things like me joining the Volturi when I was older(Aro is trying to convince me into it. Yeah, right)

"Nessie, someone is on the phone for you", Edward called. He could have said it quietly, but he probably didn't want to freak the caller.

"Ok" I went downstairs and grabbed the phone.

"Hello?"

"Renesmee? This is Phoebe I need to tell you something very important. Could you come over?"

"Sure. When"

"Now."
