They all were repeating the drill for me again. I was supposed to call all of them on their first name basis, no uncle, aunt, mom or dad. It was all just weird. We all were doctor Carlisle's and Esme's adopted kids and our family just moved in the town.
I absolutely hated the whole school idea. There was a weird feeling with frustration developing inside me. According to my mother it was because I was nervous. I was a fast learner and I was confident in most of my works but I guess mom was right and I was nervous.
"Are u okay honey?" my mom asked me while looking at me.
I didn't realize that I had made a face while they were talking to me. "Ugh…" was all that came out.
"She's just nervous Bella..." my dad comforted my mom.
"Will you all just stop saying that I am nervous…..it's making me 'nervous'! I made the most horrible face that I could have made but they all smiled.
"Yeah ban the word 'nervous'!" Uncle Emmett mocked me.
"Don't worry Nessie. Everything would be fine!" grandpa said smiling at me. He was always very soothing.
Somehow I knew everything won't be alright. After all how can I be alright if Jacob was not with me? Jacob didn't join school. He rather wanted to work in his garage. He loved all the mechanical works.
I knew it would be hard for me to spend school hours without seeing him because staying away from each other was something we were really not good at, although I was happy for Jake that he would get some of his own space to do things that he loved and Jacob deserved it because ever since I was born he had been looking after me and it was time he got his break. Although it was all in few months' span but still I was a teenager now and I could take care of myself. Okay who was I fooling. I needed him. I always need him to be around me.
"I know honey, how you feel. But I also know that you are a strong girl and you can cope up well even if he's not around." My father said.
"Da…d….!" I squealed.
My father could just not stay out of my mind especially when I looked worried.
"Okay…. Sorry! Guess we'll just give you your space and leave now." Dad replied.
"Nessie…. Check out your closet. I have a perfect dress for your first day." Aunt Alice said before leaving.
"Aww… thanks Aunt Alice."
"Your welcome. If you'll need help just call me." She replied.
"Yeah sure Aunt Alice….! Thanks again."
"She's better than you in her fashion sense Bella. See how she values me." I heard Aunt Alice speaking. All chuckled behind her.
I was waiting for her. I knew she would be nervous. All the time in which we had discussed about her school I had gained that she wasn't really with the idea of schooling. I too hated the idea but due to different reasons. I couldn't stand to think about the fact that we won't be spending so much time together as we used to before.
It just killed me every moment I was away from her. She was my world. She was the one my heart chose. I had imprinted on her. Everyone except Renesmee knew about this truth.
I knew I too meant the world for her but that was because she considered me as her best friend. Edward and Bella had been cooperating with me on this case at least. They left it on me that how the imprinting news should be broken to renesmee but I was nowhere close in doing this job now. I couldn't imagine how she would react. I wanted her to live her life and decide her partner for herself. I didn't want to tell her about my imprinting on her and make her feel bound to me. I wanted her to live a normal life and she had always wanted me as her best friend and I couldn't have possibly messed that up for her. We werewolves could be anything our imprint wants us to be for them. A protector, a friend. A lover anything they want and right now renesmee saw me as her best friend and she needed her friend.
"Hey Nessie….!" I said. She was coming towards me. I was always mesmerized with the way she looked. Her beautiful golden curly locks were bouncing a little as she moved her skin as flawless as ever. Her beautiful shiny eyes looking directly into mine. She was an angel in my life.
"Hey Jake…! How are you?" she asked hugging me.
"Perfect as ever ness….. So are you ready for your big day?"
"Yeah sure" she replied.
"Are you sure you're fine. You look a little nervous."
"Wrong word used Jake….. You better run for your life." jasper chuckled from behind.
"Jake…I am not nervous…! Okay I am a little." She said.
"Aww…don't worry nessie everything would be fine." I said while giving a little tap on her head.
"Point taken mongrel…now out of the way…we got to leave." Rosalie hurried outside.
"Yeah you should it's time." I agreed. "I have something to ask" I hurried towards Edward. "A…. I just wanted to do this in a right way. I wanted to ask that can I take the responsibility for dropping and picking renesmee from school. Could she come with me?" "Please" I added to be polite.
Edward and Bella thought for a moment and then Bella replied "whatever renesmee wants!"
We turned towards her.
"I would like that" she replied in her sweetest smile that I had always loved.
"Come love, we got to leave." Edward called for Bella.
They all left only I and renesmee were left behind.
"What? Are we running to school?" she teased.
"What about a bike ride for today?" I asked and she smiled as she loved bike rides with me.
