EDWARDS PROFILE
I turned to look at my daughter in the seat behind me. I held back a laugh at her attempt to look simple. I had been hoping less guys would notice her if she was in more simple attire. But I was beginning to reconsider. No matter what Renesmee did she couldn't look simple. Even with no make up and plain clothing…she was as beautiful as her mother.
As we reached the school I could tell I was even getting a little nervous. Not for myself, I had been to hundreds of high schools by now. It was always the same thing at every school, different faces but the same typical people on the inside.
Bella and I were both nervous for Renesmee. We knew today was going to be difficult for her. Renesmee knew the rules. Avoid talking to people if you can. Don't let them get too close. And most importantly, don't try to become friends with any of them. I was worried that the last rule was going to be the problem. Not only was she extremely friendly, but people always seemed drawn to her. Everyone wanted to know her.
Everyone's thoughts were the same when it came to Renesmee. I heard what they thought, and what they wanted. They wanted to be her friend, the wanted to know her, they wanted to talk to her. The girls wanted to be her. And to much of my disliking, the guys wanted her. If she knew all of this, it would just make things harder for her to stay away from humans.
"The only time I really ever got out of the house is when Alice and I made our little shopping trips, and even then I don't have to talk to anyone if I don't want to. And though everyone in my family looked my age, they weren't. I had never really talked to anyone my own age."
I tried not to let Renesmee thoughts upset me. Bella and I were a little too over protective. Well, I was a little too over protective I guess. I just wanted to keep her safe. And her going out of the house with out any of us wasdangerous. I was still getting used to being a father. I was making things more difficult then they should, Renesmee wasn't exactly a hand full. She really was the perfect child…maybe I should cut her some slack.
"… When I look back at all of my memories, my life has been filled with nothing but love. My family loves me so much and I love them. I could ask for anything and they would get it for me in a heartbeat. Since I was born I have had everything anyone could possibly ask for. Spoiled, some could call it. But I never asked for the beautiful gifts and unconditional love. So how could I be spoiled? I couldn't ask for a better family or a better life…"
I grabbed Bella's hand and slightly smiled. She really was the perfect child.
I looked at Bella. She looked calm, but I knew she was hiding it for Renesmee. She had gotten better with her acting skills, surprisingly.
I pulled into an open parking spot and turned off the new silver car. I heard Renesmee wish she would of road with Jasper so she could feel more relaxed. I laughed and turned to look at her.
"Everyone will love you. They always do."
It was true everyone would love her…that was the problem.
"Sure they will. Edward." She said jokingly. She was just like her mother, she had no clue how beautiful she was. I rolled my eyes and got out of the car. I wasn't looking forward to hearing all the thoughts of some of the disgusting mindless humans. Those idiots thinking about my family was almost too much for me to handle some days.
Rosalie pulled into the spot besides us and they all four got out of the car.
"Wow. Who are they?"
"Those guys are sooo fine!"
"Look at that body! I need her number."
"Ready?" Alice asked to everyone in a cheery voice. Renesmee half smiled but kept her eyes on the ground.
"The things I would like to do to that little brunette…"
I protectively put my arm around Bella's waist as we started walking into the school. I couldn't seem to get used to people thinking about my wife like that. It was absurd.
Following behind us was Renesmee, followed by Rosalie and Emmett, and closely behind them was Alice and Jasper.
Bella and I were about to come up to a small boy with black hair. He was a few feet away but he was still standing with wide eyes and his mouth was wide open.
"I think I'm in love…"
I turned to see which one of my family members someone was dreaming about this time. It was Renesmee. Perfect. The boy tried to compose himself as he stumbled to walk towards Renesmee. The others, who were following close behind us, noticed the boy too.
"He better not be doing what I think he's doing."
I turned my head and nodded once to Emmett. He slightly growled. I turned my attention back to the boy.
"I have to talk to her. But what should I say? I bet she has a boyfriend-Oh who cares. She's so beautiful."
As Bella and I walked by the boy, I glared at him. I wanted to rip him to pieces. Who did he think he was? If he only knew what Renesmee was….what I was.
The boy took a step back.
"Oh...wow. He looks mad…and really scary." He closed his mouth and swallowed hard. He blinked a few times and finally got rid of that stupid dumbstruck look on his face.
"I wonder if that's her brother or something. He has to be." Well, the boy was close enough. I was her "real brother". Everyone was to say that Renesmee and I were brother and sister, just like Jasper and Rosalie were going to say that they were brother and sister. And Alice, Emmett, and Bella were just adopted without siblings. If this pathetic boy only knew who he was messing with, he would rethink his actions. He wasn't just messing with a big brother, oh no. He was messing with a father and whole family of vampires.
As we finally passed the boy, I looked at the boy's thoughts to see how the others would react to him. Renesmee finally noticed him and smiled shyly at him. Great Renesmee, talk about feeding the fire.
"She smiled at me. She smiled at me!" I knew Emmett would take care of this. He took a step toward the boy and stomped his foot as loud as he could, then he continued to walk with Rosalie's hand in his. A few people around us jumped at the sound of Emmett's stomp, the boy about jumped out of his skin.
"That guy could kill me! Maybe I should wait until she's alone to talk to her." Ha. Alone? That wasn't going to happen any time soon. But at least Emmett's scare worked, the boy was going to leave her be. I smiled and tightened my grip around Bella.
She looked up at me, her golden eyes sparkling. I had missed her beautiful deep brown eyes I had fallen so much in love with. But some how her newer golden color was just as deep, I could still look into them for forever.
"What was that about?" She whispered.
"Just a little complication, but it's fine now." I whispered back and kissed her head.
We led the way into the school building, the others close behind us. Renesmee was going to be just fine with all of us here. I relaxed a little as my family and I made our way down an almost empty hallway. The few students in the hall stared at us, nothing I wasn't used too. Renesmee on the other hand, was uneasy with this reaction.
"Why are they just looking at us like that? We didn't do anything wrong did we?" I couldn't help but smile at Renesmee's innocence.
The rest of the day went by fast. Bella was in all my classes, which always helped the time go by.
Bella, Alice, and I were juniors. Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper were seniors. And of course Renesmee was a sophomore. I had no classes with her, but I was keeping tabs on her by listening to her and other student's thoughts.
"Well hello there beautiful."
"Renesmee? Wow what kind of name was that?"
"I wish I looked half as good as her. Her clothes look expensive too. Is that a Chanel bag? Jealous."
"I bet she's a dancer. She's got a great body…no a perfect body. Mmmm."
"I hope she sits by me. She looks like she's a nice person."
"Try not to make a fool of yourself. Breathe! Breathe! What if she asks what my name is and I can't talk?! She'll think I'm such a loser."
"Look at her! She's drop dead gorgeous. I have to talk to her before all these other guys hit on her."
Bella hit me in the side when she realized I was paying more attention to Renesmee then the class we were in.
"Leave her alone!" She hissed.
"I'm not bothering her, she has no clue I'm even listening." I whispered. I turned my head back forward so I could go back to concentrate on Renesmee.
Bella sighed. "How's she doing?" Even if she denied it, she couldn't resist not knowing. I smiled at her.
"She's fine. But no one will leave her alone…sounds like someone's first day at Forks High School. Mother like daughter?" She laughed quietly and I joined her.
"Really Edward, there's no need to listen. Besides, it's not like she's a danger magnet." She winked at me.
"She's only seven Bella. She's hardly ever been around humans before." How could Bella not be worried about her? She still amazed me by never acting how I thought she would. She smiled.
"She's going to be fine. And I think we both know she's not really seven." The bell rang and she put her arms around me. "Relax."
I smiled at her. "I'll try." ...someday.
