AN: Well thanks for reading. I bet you weren't expecting me to update, huh? Well here's the next chapter. I know both chapters are short, but it's hard work... Hahaha anyways, I might replace this chapter with a longer version of it. This chapter was supposed to describe Renesmee's first day and then some. Oh well. Review please, this is my first fic, I could use all the help I can get.
"What was that all about?" Emmett asked laughing, referring to my encounter with Logan.
I shrugged," A new friend?" My father was staring at me, eyes tense and jaw set. I'm sure he was reading my thoughts when I was talking to Logan. 'Dad calm down, it's nothing I can't handle' I thought to him. He nodded once, then the bell rang. Alice and I had homeroom together and my parents had theirs together.
"So who was that boy? Correct me if I'm wrong but it looked like you were fighting the urge to, bite him." Alice said, tense topics came easily to Alice.
I hesitated,"I was fighting back from hurting him. He smelled...so good,"I admitted bleakly,"but I obviously refrained."
"Of course,"Alice said"but it also seemed like you were attracted to him."she said the last part quickly.
I turned away,"Well, I wasn't."
"Okay,"Alice knew better than to press me. We dropped the topic.
We entered 's homeroom, and walked over to her desk so she could sign our slips. She gave us two empty seats in the back. Since it was the second week of the new semester I guess everyone had established their seats. I quickly realized Logan wasn't in this homeroom. It was a good thing...right?
"I have to go to the main office to turn in the roster,"Mrs. Volcheck declared," behave." Immediately after she left the room, everyone started talking. Two boys came up to our desks. One tall, tan, and shiny black hair. Of Filipino descent I guessed. The other his polar opposite: he was short, had pale blonde hair, and was pasty.
"I'm AJ, and this is Drake," the tall one greeted.
"Hello, I'm Alice and this is Renesmee,"Alice introduced us.
"You guys are new right? And there's like 10 more of you?" Drake asked.
"Yes we're new and there's only five more of us,"Alice said, a bit offended.
"Right, that's cool, so you wanna sit with us at lunch? I'll save all of you guys a seat,"AJ said winking at me.
"Oh I think we all just want to sit with each other, you know for the first day," Alice rejected.
"Alright, maybe another time then," he said then they both left.
"Wow the boys here act like they've never seen girls," Alice said. I laughed, Alice just doesn't realize how beautiful she is.
Most of the girls had scrutinized us as we had made our way to our desks, but some were still staring as AJ and Drake left our table. The fact that at least a dozen pair of eyes were staring at us, didn't seem to bother Alice in the least. returned and handed out flyers with unimportant things on them. Back-To-School-Dance, Senior Bake Sale, and something called Color day.
"Wow these people don't lag, look at all these things coming up," I whispered to Alice.
"Oh, well, schools like to make a big deal out of a new school year, it's supposed to be sort of special," she said nonchalantly.
"Oh," I replied.
The bell rang and we headed off to our first class. Through the halls I could hear students whispering about us. We passed by Rose, Emmett, and Jasper. Emmett smiled at me and slapped us a high five. We entered 's english class. That tempting aroma filled my nose again, it burned the back of my throat, worse this time. His smell was even stronger indoors.
"Hey Renesmee," Logan called to me.
" This is not a mosh pit Mr. Collins, you don't crow across the room," said scolding Logan.
"Sorry, sir,"Logan said giving me a sly smile. I couldn't help but smile back at him.
"You two must be the new arrivals, well hand me your slips." instructed. We gave him our slips.
"Choose a seat," he said dismissing us from his desk. Unfortunately the weren't two empty seats next to each other. There was one in the front which Alice gladly took and one in the back and wouldn't you know it was conveniently located right behind Logan. I sat down next to a stocky red headed girl, with acne problems. She seemed nice enough as I sat down she greeted me with a smile.
" Hi I'm Renesmee," I said .
"I'm Maddy,"
I heard the girl in front of me sitting next to Logan snort as Maddy and I introduced ourselves.
"You're new right?" she whispered. I nodded.
"So how is your day going?"she asked.
"Well, it's only first period, so I don't have a full assessment yet."
"Oh right. Well who is your homeroom teacher?" She asked; by this time Logan had shifted his seat so that he could turn his head comfortably to talk to us.
"I have Volcheck," I said sesponding to Maddy's question.
"Oh, I heard she's strict."
"Well, I don't know, she was out most of homeroom," I told her.
"Hey Renesmee can I see your schedule?" Logan asked.
"Sure," I said handing him my little piece of paper that had my schedule. He scanned it for a few seconds. A big smile spread across his face.
"We have the rest of the days classes together," he said still smiling. My heartbeat accelerated, I would have to be in the same room with him all day everyday? It was taking everything I had in me to refrain from jumping across my desk and sinking my teeth in him. How could I handle a whole semester?
"Great," I said feebly. Though part of me was happy that I'd be near him. My human part anyways, but I also felt guilty. I was being unfaithful to Jacob.
Mr. Stewart assigned us to write a short story based on Hamlet. Despite his strict demeanor he left us the last ten minutes of class to move next to whoever we wanted. The girl sitting next to Logan got up instantly and moved over to another girl. Alice came up to us and took her spot, but she shifted the seat so that it was on the edge of my desk.
"Is it okay if I take this seat?" she asked Logan.
"Sure, go for it," Logan said.
She looked and Maddy and Logan then said,"Hello I'm Alice."
"I'm Logan."
"I'm Maddy," she said timidly.
"Nice to meet you both," Alice said with a warm smile. I could feel the whole class' eyes staring at us.
"So how are you guys liking *Beaver?" Logan asked.
"Oh it's a darling little town. Very cozy. When we moved here we were excited that there were two high school to choose from. In the last town we lived in there was only one high school, and the student body was about the size of this classroom,"Alice said cheerfully. He laughed. It was so pure, and contagious.
"And you have siblings that come here as well," he asked.
"Yes, they are our adoptive siblings." Alice explained.
"Oh that's nice to have a big family," Logan said,"I only have one little sister."
"I have two older brothers," Maddy spoke for the first time, since introducing herself.
"Oh well our situation is a bit...different," Alice continued,"Edward, Emmet and I were the first to be adopted by Esme and Carlisle. Then they took in Rosalie, Jasper and Bella. Jasper and Rosalie are the only ones who are blood related–they're twins. Anyways, I'm with Jasper, Edward and Bella are an item, and Emmett and Rosalie are together as well," Alice finished with a smile. Even I was a bit surprised, I didn't expect anyone to find out about our situation the first day of school. Some people don't take this news as well as others. I could tell by the look on Maddy's face she wasn't taking it so lightly. The bell rang before anybody could say anything else. As we exited the room I nudged Alice.
"What was that all about? Why don't you tell them we're all vampires while you're at it!" I whispered low enough for only her ears to hear.
"What? Why not get it out in the open before they go and make their own assumptions?"
"Did you see the look on Maddy's face? She must think we're running an incest circus or something!" I accused.
"Oh come on, Nessie!" Alice rolled her eyes.
"I'm just saying, wait until they ask about it, don't bring it up 'casually'" I warned.
She shrugged, obviously not taking anything I said into consideration.
Our next class was P.E. We had this class with my parents. This was going to be interesting, my mother always told me how bad she was in gym, that was when she was human. Perhaps now she'd be better, I hoped she would for everyone's sake.
"Hey, Bella, Edward, fancy meeting you here," Alice said cheerfully.
"Good news gym is only required two years here," my mother mused.
"Bella, you'll be better at physical education this time around," my father said teasing.
"That's a shame, I would've liked to see you tripping on a basketball, or knocking yourself out with a tennis racket," I said laughing.
"That actually happened one time, though it was a badminton racket," my mother said recalling a human memory.
We sat down on the floor where our teacher designated us to sit.
"Okay you'll all be changing on Wednesday! If you're new," said staring at us,"then you'll buy your P.E. clothes in the student store, and you've lost it over the break then you'd better get your sorry behind over there too! Alright now you have the choice of staying in here or going out onto the feild, wouldn't go out there if I were you though it's raining." he said smiling.
The entire gym groaned at the word 'raining' You would've thought that these kids would be used to rain. Alice my parents and I moved over to the bleachers. Who came to sit by us none other than Logan.
"Hi Renesmee, Alice,"he said then turned to my parents,"Hello I'm Logan Collins."
"Hello, I'm Bella Rourke and this is Edward," my mother said. My father stook out his hand.
"Edward Penn," he said.
"Nice to meet you," Logan said taking his hand to shake it.
"Likewise."
'What are you doing!' I asked him furiously. He simply turned to me and smiled.
"So how are you guys taking the rain? I mean honestly you'd think these kids would be accustomed to the weather," Logan said laughing. I was thrown off by his comment. It was as if he read my thoughts...
"We lived in Forks before he moved here so, we're used to the rain," my mother informed him.
"It rains alot in Forks then?" Logan asked.
"Oh yes rainest place in the Olympic Peninsula," my father sais smiling at my mother. I felt like I was missing out on an inside joke.
"Well I guess you either get used to it or get sick of it," I said. Logan smiled.
"Right," he said as if that was his sentiments exactly.
"Well I'm in denial then because I sometimes still become upset if it rains when I don't plan on it," Alice said.
"Yes but there's a reason behind that, Alice," my father said laughing. Logan looked curious. He was oblivious to our inside knowledge that Alice could see into the future.
I didn't have the next class with Alice, so I walked with Logan. I was fighting myself the whole way.
"I like your family, they seem really...nice,"he said tentativley. I looked at him and smiled, then blushed. Why was he making me act so...girly? Logan was not going to make school easy, at all.
*Beaver, Washington is a town north of Forks, Washington. Best believe I did my research :)
