I couldn't help but stare at him. His facial expressions changed so fast, it was highly entertaining. I wish I had my Dad's gift to know what he was thinking.
When I first went to class he looked like he hated life almost as much I hated going to high school. There was something about him that seemed familiar, but when you live forever people start looking the same.
Rarely did anyone get my very unique name correct on their first try. I knew Mr. Black would be no different. But it didn't bother me as much as it usually does when he butchered my name. Why? Why did I want to reach out to him and tell it was okay, that he could call me anything he wanted? His puzzled face was kind of cute when he looked up to find the person who belonged to the impossible to pronounce name. He scrunched his nose in frustration.
When his mysterious deep brown eyes locked with mine, I saw a shift in him. He was visibly more relaxed; but on edge at the same time. He was lost in thought. All of his focus was on me. Again, the question was why? Was I that suspicious on the first day? Did I pose a threat to him?
I was equally intrigued by him. Something inside me just clicked. I felt like I was finally in the right place at the right time. Something was different about this class, something good was going to come out of it.
A couple of minutes went by and the class was getting restless. Mr. Black was still staring at me and it should be bothering me, but it wasn't. I realized I was staring back.
A boy in the first row cleared his throat. It startled Mr. Black back into reality.
"Right, there you are. How do you say your name?" He looked back down to his paper.
"Ruh – nez – mee." I responded slowly for him and the class.
"Do you have a nickname you go by?" He asked.
Nickname…is it really that hard to just say my name? Now I was kind of irked. "Nope. Once people get the pronunciation they just call me Renesmee, you know since it's my name and all. It's weird, but not hard to say." I know my dad would all over me for the attitude, but I felt like he was personally attacking my name.
"I am sorry Ruhnezmee," He took his time to show me that he could say my name correctly. "I mean no disrespect, I…I…I.." something took over his resolve. Hatred maybe. "I understand Miss Swan that this is your name. I simply was asking because sometime children, like yourself, would rather be called something shorter. I do.."
"I didn't hear you asking anyone else in the class. I mean Alexander is a long name, did you ask him if he would rather be called Alex?" I interrupted him. I knew I was in trouble when I saw him start shaking. But he called me a child. I am not a child.
"That's it Miss Swan go to the principle office." He turned back to his desk and began writing something. "Gather your things. You are done for today. Take this note, it will explain everything."
I stood up. Gathered my belongings, but my temper got the best of me. "Oh good, so you wrote down that you couldn't pronounce my name and then you insulted me? I am glad we have that all cleared up. Mr. Black!" I ripped the note out of his hand and stormed out of the classroom before he could rebuttal.
I was happier now that Dad wasn't at school. I would have some time to process this before getting a lecture from my parents. Happy first day to me!

Great, I have offended my imprint before she even knows my first name. What was I thinking? I don't want an imprint. She is a student. I am not going to let this take away from what I have vowed. I will not love her. I will not give into the stupid will of this curse.
I did not ask to be a wolf. I did not want to be Alpha. I do not want to have an imprint and have the rest of my will taken away from me. Maybe I didn't imprint at all. Maybe because she is familiar to me. She looks like the one person I let myself love. She looks like Bella. Curly brownish hair and chocolate brown eyes.
But those brown eyes…listen to me! Two brown eyes and I am a lost puppy dog chasing his own tail.
This walking attitude in my class is not going to derail me. I have a mission. Find the Cullens and kill them.
Something is familiar about this Renessme. Why?
She looks so much like Bella. Maybe that is why I think that I imprinted. What was Bella going to name that beast? She said it was going to be a boy, so this girl couldn't be related to her.
I know that I picked that fight with her. That wasn't very "teacher" of me, but I did not want her in my class. I can't have her in this class making me think that I am in love. I am stronger than this. I will break whatever bond this is.
After class I will ask to remove the "problem" student from my class. I won't have to deal with her anymore. I smiled to myself and continued on with the rest of roll call.
Class went on without any noise coming from the students. They were scared of me. This is going to be a fun semester.
AN: Sorry this took so long, and that it is short. I think this was short because I needed a transition for the next chapter. Jacob is going to fight this tooth and nail. What do you think of Bella being in one of Seth's classes?
