I might just do one day, but tell me if you think it should be longer! AND PLEASE REVIEW?? IT'S NOT MUCH!
Nessies POV
We were driving along the road, music blasting, wind blowing in our faces, top down; heaven. I cherished these moments when me and Jake could just be together, messing about and singing. We were singing to If Today Was Your Last Day by Nickelback. Well, when I say singing, it was half singing, half yelling.
"If today was your last day!!
Tomorrow was too late,
Could you say good bye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Live each moment in the past,
Donate every dime you had!!!!!"
"WOAH!!" Jake yelled, swerving out of the way just in time as a car came speeding past us. I gripped the dash board and the side of the door to keep upright and in the car. Jacob stopped slowly and turned immediately to me.
"Are you OK? Are you alright? Talk to me Ness!" He shook me slightly. I pushed his hands away gently, putting my hand to his face.
Kinda winded, just give me a sec.
He nodded grimly and gave me some space. I concentrated on my breathing and staying calm. I slumped slightly in my chair as my breathing went back to normal and I could speak, but I still sounded croaky.
"What happened? Who were they? Are you alright?" I asked, looking over him, trying to find some sign of injury.
"Werewolf healing Ness, even if I was hurt, it would've healed by now, and no, I don't know who those jerks where," he paused, his whole face looking like a thunderstorm, "but I'm gonna find out."
Suddenly a sliver Volvo came screeching up to us, followed by a red convertible.
"Renesmee, honey are you alright?" I was out of the car and Mom was holding me up against her. I felt my cheeks burning, that's probably why Dad stayed in the car; he knew this would embarrass the hell out of me. I put my hand to her face, if I spoke out loud she would hear the croakiness and would make an even bigger show of this.
I'm fine Mom, really, just a little shell-shocked. Please don't make a big deal of this. I just wanna go to school.
It was only then I noticed Mom's outfit.
"Wow Mom! You look hot!" I said out loud, earning a laugh from everyone. She pushed me up onto my own to feet and I could tell if she where able to, she would blush.
"C'mon guys, don't want to be late on the first day, do we?" Alice called from the back seat of Dad's car. We all climbed back into our cars.
"Why don't we make a real entrance?" Rose suggested before every one started their engines. I looked at Jake; I love making a big show, Mom calls me a drama queen.
"Interesting," Alice breathed, her eyes just changing from their glazed over look.
"Why don't we have… a race?" Rose made a dramatic pause, and as soon as she said 'race', Jake looked at me this time; he loved challenges, especially races against the family. He revved the car and Rose did the same. Dad paused slightly and then did the same. I grinned.
"Three…Two…One…GO!!" I yelled over the acceleration of engines. Then we were speeding down the road, really eating up the miles. I threw back my head and laughed as Jake did the same. Soon we rounded a curve and shot into the school car park. Jake swerved into a space just before Dad, Rose just a millisecond behind him. Jake whooped and jumped out to open my door and swung me round.
"We are the winners! WHO are the winners?? WE are the winners!!!" We both yelled, me collapsing into him as we laughed like a bunch of loonies. I sighed and turned to Emmett.
"Next time dog, and just because you are my niece doesn't change anything Ness," he said menacingly before he turned to stalk off. Rose turned to me and rolled her eyes before running at human speed to catch up with him. I noticed then how the rest of my family was acting. Dad had his arm around Mom, a huge grin on his face, walking at a strangely slow pace, and Alice was no longer her graceful, dancing self, she was slower, yet she couldn't help let a little of her normal balletic self slip into her step. She slipped her arm through Jaspers and followed Rose and Em. I looked at Jake and he held his hand out. I locked my hand with his and we followed in Mom and Dads steps. I nearly stepped back when I noticed something a little uncomfortable.
Every one was looking at us.
And I don't mean a teenage girls version of every one, when actually it was only a few people, I literally mean every one. I looked at Jake as we walked on, and only a small something in his eyes gave away the fact that he didn't like that every one was looking at him. I quickened our pace and followed Mom into the reception. A fairly old lady was sitting at the desk and did a double take thing when she noticed eight people standing in front of her.
"Oh! Um, I'm sorry, must have dosed off slightly there," she gave a nervous giggle, her eyes flicking to look at each of us, and then back again, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Yes," Dad pretended to clear his voice, "we are the Cullen's, we're new here, and we don't know our way around here," he finished this with a dazzling smile, and I felt Mom tense beside me; she didn't like it when Dad smiled at girls like that, it was like her smile. Meanwhile, the secretary's eyes went blank and her posture slumped slightly and I had to fight back the urge to giggle. She suddenly straightened up and blushed furiously while sorting random pieces of paper on her desk.
"Ah, hem, yes, the, uh, Cullen's….where…ah yes! I have it here, just let me go make a copy for all of you…" she held up a piece of paper which must have a map of the school and she looked at us all, frowned and shook her head.
"Is there a problem?" Alice asked, giving her one of her most innocent faces.
"Uh, no, it's just… are you all related?"
"We're adopted, when Mom found out she couldn't have kids, she adopted, and kind of couldn't stop!" I shrugged and grinned at her as I said this; I wasn't going to let everyone else speak and leave me standing there like a wet blanket!
"Even you?" She said, nodding her head in Jakes direction.
"Yes Maa'm, too many pale kids see? Needed someone with more…warmth," Jake answered, subtly putting in a little joke that only we would get. She seemed to buy this.
"Oh, alright! If you would just excuse me for a minute…" she looked at us again for a second before shaking her head and walked away. I looked at Jake once she was out of the room.
"Warmth?" I whispered at him.
"Just my little joke Ness, don't worry," he bent down to kiss me and I went up on tip toes to make my lips reach his. We kissed for what must have been two seconds before we heard a gasp from the door and a chuckle from Dad. I turned my head to the direction of the gasp to find a big group of girls standing by the door staring at all of us, but mainly me and Jake. They stayed there for a few minutes with their mouths hanging open before scurrying off. Jake turned to me and rolled his eyes and bent down to me again, but before we could carry on, the secretary came scuttling in.
"Here you go! One for each of you! Now, I've written down your form room at the top of the subjects list, and next to the name of subjects is the room number which is labelled on the map!" She smiled at us and went to sit back down.
"OK, thank you!" Alice beamed and we all walked out of the office.
"Right," Rose said, crumpling up her map and threw it in the bin. Dad just looked at her and rolled his eyes.
"OK, we better get going then, don't want to be late for first lesson, do we?" Emmett said, rubbing his hands together. We said our goodbyes and headed off. I looked at my map and found that we had to make our way down to the East building. As me and Jake started walking (Dad had 'arranged' it so that we were with who we wanted for our lessons) I slipped my hand through his. He gave me a gentle squeeze as we went out of a door and walked down to the big building. We walked in with a few minutes to spare, but there were already only a few desks left. Nearly every head turned to stare at us, and those who didn't where nudged by their friends, and then started to stare. I already felt myself blushing, hoping we could find a seat together. Luckily, there were two empty desks at the back row next to the window. Jake let me have the seat nearest the window and plopped down into the seat next to me. We sat there for a while chatting with our heads close together. As the bell went I notice a commotion by the door. I looked out of the corner of my eye to find two girls decked out in designer labels. They kept looking at us and where making wild movements with there hands. The girl with (obviously bottled) auburn hair suddenly turned and stormed towards us. I looked back at Jake and carried on our conversation.
"Um, excuse me!" She said, making 'excuse' sound like a three syllable word (ex-cu-use). Jake and I looked up, and I could see that she was startled at both of our appearances.
"Yes?" Jake said.
"Can we help you?" I added.
"Oh… it's just, uh…those are our seats!" She said, getting more confident as she went along.
"Our?" Jake said, then making a big show of looking around, "I don't see a second."
"She…." Her head whipped around, "Abby! Get over here!" She hissed violently. Abby walked over slowly. The other girl grabbed her when she was about a desk away from us and pulled her nearer.
"Our! Our seats!" She hissed again. Now I could tell that I didn't like this girl, and if we didn't do something about this quick she was going to know about it big time.
"Well, I don't see your names on it, so they aren't yours," Jake stepped in, clearly reading my face.
"Well, we've sat there for nearly all of last year, so…" she grinned smugly, obviously thinking she had this won. I noticed that she was also looking up and down at Jake, and this made my already fuming temper boil over. I stood up slowly.
"Well, maybe its time your spoilt bitch asses found somewhere else to sit, 'cause we aren't moving," I said, looking her squarely in the eyes, almost defying her to try and make a come back. She glared at me, but her friend Abby tugged her arm.
"C'mon Shannon, there's other seats over there," she nodded to a pair of seats diagonally across from us. Shannon glared at me once more and flounced off. I sat back down and Jake looked at me.
"What?" I whispered; form room had started.
"Nothing," he said, shaking his head. I thought about it for a moment but then forgot it. The rest of form went by quickly and soon enough we were getting ready for first lesson. Jake was getting something from the teacher and I was waiting by the door. Suddenly Shannon walked up to him and brushed his arm. I felt myself tense and my jaw lock. As Jake went back to his desk to get his bag, she followed him and bent over him, and whispered something. It was then I thanked vampire hearing.
"You know, if you ever get bored of the kid, there's always more… mature woman around here…" she pressed herself against him slightly and then walked off. By then I was ready to rip her slutty head off. I kept calm though and waited for her to go to the door. She gave me a smile, and I smiled back. As she walked out of the door, I stuck my foot out and hooked it under her feet hard. She went flying into the janitor who was (amazingly) holding a big pot of black paint, which when she collided into him, tipped all over her. I smiled with smugness and walked over to her as she squealed furiously.
"Some kids need to be more careful with their finger painting," I said loudly, turned on my heel and walked to Jake.
"Was that…?" he nodded towards the now seething Shannon.
"Nobody tries to take you away from me," I said as an answer. He smiled and hugged me tight as we made our way to next lesson.
