Renesmee
"Morning!" I shouted happily, prancing through the back doors to the kitchen where Rosalie and Alice were chatting to each other.
Alice shot me an exasperated look, "Darn it, Nessie. You just made my entire schedule for the day disappear."
"Opps, sorry Alice," I tried to make my grin look apologetic, "What did you have planned?"
"We're going shopping in Seattle," Rosalie answered for her, since Alice was busy concentrating on trying to see around me with her face was pinched up into a slight frown. I knew the expression well; it was the look she got whenever she tried to see the future with me around. "Do you want to come?" Rose asked.
"Sure." I pulled some cereal out of the cupboard. The sugar didn't quite cover up the disgusting flavor, but Jake was running with the pack this morning and I still wasn't allowed to go hunting by myself. Alice beamed at me, it had been awhile since I had agreed to let them take me shopping, but I needed it. I had outgrown just about everything I owned.
"You'll need some school clothes," she nodded to herself. "Something acceptable for gym class… defiantly not sweat pants." I rolled my eyes and tried to focus on getting the cereal down my throat without tasting it. I managed a few mouthfuls before Rosalie made me choke.
"She could really use some lingerie too. Her training bra is much too small."
"My bra is fine," I whined when I was able to speak again, but neither of them were listening too me anymore. I felt my cheeks turning crimson. The thought of having to wiggle into silky, lacy things Alice would pick out gave me nausea.
My aunts turned the conversation to other topics, giving me time alone with my thoughts. Jacob has been acting different ever since I got back from the Amazon. My friendship with Jacob has always been natural and easy, easy as breathing. I've always understood him and what he is thinking, but now I didn't. He seems unhappy and worried about something. Maybe he doesn't like that I am growing up. Either that or he likes it more than he thinks he should. The only thing that I'm sure about is that he hasn't imprinted on anyone while I was away. It scares me that someday he might. Someday he may meet "the one", the one who will take him from me, like Emily took Sam from Leah— and I won't even be able to hate her because it won't be her fault. For now he's still my Jacob, the Jacob who will be there every day and even move across the country to keep our group together.
We will be moving to New Hampshire in the fall. It makes the most sense. My parents' plans to attend college had been pushed back as far as they possibly could be, mostly thanks to me. I don't want to leave Forks, but my family is starting to attract attention. Most aspects of vampirism are simple enough to hide, but the eternal youth part can be a bit conspicuous. Carlisle, my twenty something grandpa, is already pretending to be pushing forty. There are whispers at the hospital about Carlisle flying to California every month to get new cosmetic procedures done. We needed to move on before more dangerous theories about his lack of aging started to surface.
All of the practical arrangements have been taken care of. My parents will be pretending they have graduated from high school a year early. So they will be 17 again, newly weds off to college together. Mom will be studying classical languages and literature. Dad will be studying philosophy.
I will be Dad's younger sister who he got custody of when our parents died in a small airplane crash. Since it is my first time in high school, I'll be starting as a freshman. Rosalie and Emmett are enrolling in high school with me as juniors. Carlisle will be their legal guardian and Dad's uncle. Alice and Jasper are taking a break from school and taking a vacation.
Jacob refuses to let Dad or Carlisle pay for his tuition, so he has gotten a part time job at a local mechanic shop and enrolled in the community college. Jacob's small pack— Embry, Randy, Leah, and Seth are coming along. Quill will take Jake's spot on the tribal council, since he can't leave Clare. The larger pack, Sam's pack, is staying put. They have more than enough members to do their duty as "the protectors", even with a few of the older and imprinted members drifting back to their normal human lives.
Alice drove us to the mall. Predictably Alice and Rose found armfuls of clothing within a matter of minutes; Alice grabbed several items for me without even showing them to me, claiming she already knew that I would like them. But Rosalie preferred a fashion show. Undergarments were the worst. Alice picked out panties and gave them to the eagerly waiting sales clerk by the armful while Rose tried to fit me into every bra they had. They showed no mercy in tossing me the most embarrassing frilly garments they could find and shouting out my measurements loud enough for the entire department to hear: "Alice, the B is too small, it bulges under here. Nes is going to have to go straight from an A to C… Oh you're going to love this one, look it's pink!"
