Chapter 2: Newcomer

I walked into Calculus and sat in an empty desk next to another empty desk because everybody else had a partner, I guess you could call it a partner. Even though I totally rule the school with Brianna, nobody wants to leave their friends for someone cooler. That would be wrong.

I'd rather not be popular, but it's not like I could control anything. I am the richest person in the school. I probably am the prettiest and my clothes are awesome, thanks to Aunt Alice. How could I not be popular? I still talk to people besides my friends. I'm not like people on TV. Forks isn't like any other high school on TV or in real life that is. Everybody knows everybody so… it's different.

Mrs. Oboil walked in the classroom and announced that we had a new student. His name is Lucas Keller and he is super-duper cute! After Mrs. Oboil, the new secretary, walked out everybody looked at me in envy. I wondered why. Oh, maybe it was because they thought I was the prettiest person ever and that I got to date Lucas? Probably, but I haven't dated anyone since I broke up with Jacob last spring for being suck a jerk, and I didn't have plans to change that status anytime soon.

When I looked up at Mr. Varner he was walking toward me with LUCAS! Wow, I got to sit next to the new hottest boy at Forks High. Yay me! I snapped myself back to Earth and introduced myself to Lucas when the teacher walked away.

"Hi. I'm Renesmee Cullen, but you can call me Nessie. Apparently you're Lucas. Welcome to Forks!" I greeted him trying not to drool over his HOT body! He had shaggy light brown hair, with greenish eyes. His skin was tan, but not as tan as Jacob's had been. I got a lump in my throat.

He smiled and said, "Hi, Nessie. Thanks,"

"No problem," I replied. Then he laughed silently. I wondered what class he had next. Then, I drooped what class he had next. Then, I dropped that thought because I honestly didn't care.

While Mr. Varner was talking about dividing or something, I was daydreaming about me and Lucas as a couple. What would people think? What would people say? Good things I hope, but I snapped back to reality and told myself to get a life and not to get too full of myself because I didn't want or need to be in a relationship. The bell rang loudly. Had they replaced the one from last year? Most likely.

I grabbed my bag and textbook prepared to walk to my locker when I felt a hand fly on my shoulder. I turned around to see it was Lucas. Why?

"Um… yeah. Can I help you?" I asked polite enough.

"Yes. Do you know where the gymnasium is?"

"Yeah, 1 second," I walked over to my friend amber, who to my relief hadn't left yet. I asked her if she could walk to the gym with Lucas since she had gym 2nd period, too. She said she would and walked back to my desk with me to meet Lucas.

"Lucas, this is Amber. She has gym 2nd period and she said she'd show you the way since I have trigonometry,"

"Okay. Hi, Amber," he said and then sighed sadly. Was he counting on me showing him the way?

"Hi," Amber replied nicely, nut not flirty like most girls would have replied. She already has a boyfriend who, according to her, is the cheese to her macaroni. Thank you, Juno.

The two walked off toward the gym, while I walked to my locker to switch out my books. I saw Brianna and remembered that our lockers were next to each others.

"Hey, Bree," I said absentmindedly.

"Hey, Nessie. Did you see the new dude, Lucas? He is scrum dil ee ump tious!"

I put my calculus book up and grabbed my trig book. "Yeah, actually I did. He sits next to me in calculus,"

"You are SO lucky!"

"Not really. You can have him if you want him. He's cute alright, but I'm kind of still thinking of all boys as jerks no matter how cute they might be,"

"Oh. Jake, right," she said and then sighed sadly. We walked to trig side-by-side. We walked in and sat in the two empty seats in the back of the room. Another boring class, at least I had Brianna next to me to talk to when Mr. Simon allowed us to. When trip was over, I headed to Biology while Brianna headed to Calculus. I walked into the room and noticed the only empty seat was next to the one and only, Lucas. UGH!
