This story is probably going to get a bit confusing in this chapter. Hang in there, you'll understand everything later on. By now you probably think my story is going no where…but don't worry I have had a plan and plot to my story from the start. Things will get more interesting…I promise. My story also doesn't have a lot of talking in it. It's all Renesmee's thoughts so there won't be a whole lot of talking. Sorry about that. A big thanks for all who are reviewing. =]

Tick…Tick…Tick…

Sleep was harder to find now a days. The time ticked away slowly as I tried to force myself to dream. I couldn't remember not being able to sleep…not ever. What was wrong? My clicking clock in my ear continued to grow louder. My eyes shot open as I reached to turn on my lamp at my bedside. I stuffed my clock in a near by compartment in my night stand. I looked at my cat Charlotte who was in her small bed on the floor. She was purring in her sleep, and I suddenly envied my small kitten. She was having no trouble sleeping. I sighed loudly in frustration, turned off the lamp, and rolled onto my bed.

Tick…Tick…Tick…Tick….

Stupid clock.

Yes...something was not right. I continued to toss and turn in my hard bed. What could be wrong with me? Why couldn't I sleep? I closed my eyes tightly and chanted sleep a million times in my head. Sleep. Sleep. Sleep!

I gave up on the constant mental fight and got out of bed. I walked back and forth on my cold dark wood flooring. Something was different. I felt different.

I walked to my cushioned bench by my big window. It was peaceful here. The night was cold. I could feel the cold sitting by the glass, but for some reason this didn't bother me. I sat with my arms around my legs and my chin resting on my knees. It was one of those nights where the stars were so bright you didn't even need a light to see. The window looked out to a big forest and pond. The forest was dark and full of secrets. The trees were tall and black and moved back and forth from the wind. The pond reflected everything perfectly, an exact copy of what was in front of me. The sky was dark but it was filled with bright beautiful stars.

Could it be school keeping me up? Yesterday opened a whole new world for me. It was scary at first, but then I really loved it. All the people, the learning, the excitement…it was all so amazing. I couldn't wait to go to school again…so it couldn't be school that was keeping me awake.

I tried to reassure myself that Jake would be here soon and everything would be okay. Maybe Jacob was the problem. Maybe I missed him so much it was messing up my sleeping habits.

What could it be? A change...something was changing.

Maybe it wasn't a problem keeping me up…what if something was wrong with me? But what could be wrong? Was I sick? Could half vampires even get sick? No…they couldn't. So whatever it was, it must be something not normal…something wrong…something bad. I had so many questions…but no answers. I looked outside to see it was nearly dawn out. Again, another sleepless night had passed.

From my room I heard a piano playing, the sound was so clear yet I knew it was down stairs. I got up from my bench and left my room. The sound of my feet thudding down the stairs broke the perfect silence of the big house. The music got louder as I neared the arch way to the living room. I peeked behind the arch to see what was going on. The sun was coming through the big bay window, making the room glow in different colors. The ivory walls were glittering with orange and yellow light. My father sat at his grand piano with my mother by his side. They were both smiling while my father's fingers flew over the black and white keys. He was playing the song he wrote for my mother. I remember when he used to hum it to me at night and my mother would smile and close her eyes. She loved the song, and my father. I knew they both knew I was there, but I couldn't help but watch them.

"Renesmee? What are you doing up so early?" Rosalie whispered from behind me.

I turned around."I…uh…I was excited for my second day of school I guess." Why was I lying? I never lied. I was supposed to answer I couldn't sleep!

"Oh. Well do you want something to eat?" Rosalie smiled.

"No thank you. I'm not really hungry." What came out of my mouth surprised me…because it wasn't a lie. I really wasn't hungry. Weird…

"You sure?" She crossed her arms over her chest looking concerned. I smiled and nodded.

"I'm going to go get ready." I ran upstairs. What was with me? No sleeping, not hungry…and now lying? Why did it matter if Rosalie knew I hadn't been sleeping? I wasn't commenting some kind of crime by not sleeping. So what was with the lies?

I was barley in the school when I hear someone calling my name. I turned to see Mark Johnson running to me, and I heard my father laugh.

"Won't give up, will he?" My father said as he went on his way with the rest of my family. I wondered what my father meant by "won't give up".

I had 7th period chemistry with Mark Johnson. Yesterday I sat the entire class period listening to him talk my ear off. He was a nice boy…but I was afraid I would bore him since I wasn't much of a talker. Somehow he seemed not to notice my lack of communication skills.

"Hey Renesmee, do you have a lab partner for chemistry yet?" Mark smiled.

"Uh, no not yet. Why?" I smiled as I got a better look at him. He was tall but somehow small at the same time. He had dark black hair and brown eyes. He was dressed casually in blue jeans and a turquoise t-shirt. Mark was a simple guy.

"Well I was thinking we could be partners..." He looked at me hopefully.

"Sure Mark." I smiled trying to sound as sweet as I could. I only knew Mark for a day, but he seemed lab partner worthy. And it seemed to make him happy.

He smiled back. "Great! Um…see you 7th period." And he was gone.

"Do you really think that was a good idea?" I turned to see me father standing behind me.

"Shouldn't you be in class, Edward?" I said trying to hold back a laugh. I pushed past him as I tried to make my way to my first period class.
