Chapter 2
My first thought was that I had to get out of here. Well actually, my first thought was: What the hell just happened? Anyway, I was extremely tempted to go tell the nurse that I threw up and get out of here, but I hardly ever get sick, so Charlie would know something was up. Then, I thought about just skipping, but Charlie's bound to find out that way too. So my only option was to suck it up and stay. Charlie would probably find out about me running out of music class, too, but one period is better than six.
I forged a pass and hid out in the library until fourth. When the bell finally rang to go to fourth, I made my way to Math. I hated math, but it was a good distraction from what just happened. I was just beginning to get over what happened in third. When the bell rang to go to fifth I was extremely happy. I had U.S. History next.
I loved history class, so I thought this would be a good way to figure what to do now. The only logical solution was to get a schedule change, but I loved general music and didn't want to give it up. Would it really be so bad to get to know him? You could have a real family, a little voice in my head said. I mentally shook my head. Could was the operative word.
I walked into my class and took a seat right in the middle of the room. I sat down and took out my phone. I was surfing Facebook when the teacher came in. "Hello, class. I am your new teacher. We will be studying the history of the United States this year, obviously," said a voice with a slight southern twang. I didn't bother looking up. He began taking roll and I didn't look up until he called – actually, butchered (but I'm used to it) – my name, "Ruh-ness-mee.. uh.. Swan?" I looked up and automatically corrected him. "Ruh-nez-may. Here," I said before I could stop myself. This teacher was a vampire, too, and – by the accent – I had a feeling I knew which one. "My name is Mr. Hale; it's a pleasure to be teaching ya'll this year. Let's start by getting our textbooks checked out," he said, not taking his eyes off of me. The students groaned and stood up, heading towards the hall where the book rooms were.
I tried my best to completely avoid him; all the while my inner alarm was going off. What am I gonna do now? As I passed his desk, I ducked my head and walked a little faster. "Hold up, uh, Renesmee," he said, just as I was about to walk through the door. I slowly turned around and looked at him. "Yes, Mr. Hale?" I replied, as innocently as possibly. He quirked an eyebrow, and said, "Would you happen to be related to Bella Swan?" He caught me completely off guard; I wasn't expecting one of them to come out and say it so point blank. I didn't know what to say, but I couldn't lie too much - I knew that Jasper was the one who could read emotions. "Yeah, I'm her half-sister," I said, only stuttering once. He looked at me questioningly, as if trying to figure out if what I was saying was true. "My brother was a friend of hers. I graduated the year before she did. How is she?" he asked, curiously. I thought he was one of the ones she never talked to? I tried to come up with a lie quick, but I've never been good at lying under pressure. "She's – uh – fine. I haven't seen her in a while… She went on a trip. I should probably go get my book," I said, then took off out the door before he could answer.
I walked as slowly as possible to the book room, and took my dear sweet time going back to the classroom. I was the last one back, and when I opened the door everyone looked at me. "Well, thank you for joining us, Miss. Swan. Please take your seat," Jasper said, gesturing to the seat I occupied earlier. I sat down and tried to pay attention, but really, I was just freaking out about what happened today. I had both Edward and Jasper as teachers, and I quickly deduced that the other new teacher had to be a Cullen. I was hoping that I didn't have the other Cullen in one of my classes, but my luck never lasts.
I had D-lunch, so I went to lunch right after history. That gave me time to calm down, and recollect. I was very quiet at lunch, so Anna knew something was up. She was bothering me the whole time, but I told her I just had a headache. I don't think she bought it.
I had Varsity Choir sixth period, which I knew was safe from the Cullens, since the choir director had been here forever. Up next I had musical theater, and I was certain that none of the Cullens were interested in that. Boy, was I wrong…
"Helooooo! I am Alice Cullen, your new musical theater teacher. Please feel free to call me Alice, I had being called Ms. Cullen. It just irks me. Anyway, I am sure we will have a great year. Please stand up and introduce yourselves, and tell us how long you've been in theater and your talents. Renesmee, you first," she said, all in one breath.
I stood up slowly and turned to the class, most of which knew me already. I sighed then began, "Hello, most of you know me, but I'm Renesmee Swan. I've been in musical theater since freshman year, and I dance, sing, and act. I can play piano, and I can – somewhat – play a guitar." Alice nodded and I sat back down.
As I sat there I began thinking. How did she know my name? From what I remembered, Alice was the psychic. Had she already seen a vision of me? Did she already see how this all turned out? I decided to catch her after class and talk to her. Consequently, just after I decided to confront her, she looked at me, nodded, and winked. Damn, the Cullens are driving me crazy already.
Sorry it's so short! I just thought this would be the perfect place to end it, sorry! In other news, thank you so much for all the reviews, alerts, and whatnot. It means the world to me, you guys! You have no idea how awesome you are! Anyway, the next chapter should be up soon, I'm already working on it, and by the time I post this, I'll probably be just about done. Thanks so much!
