Hey guys, I'm sorry I haven't posted in like 2 weeks. I came down with a really bad head cold that had me stuck in bed for 2 weeks and I've just now gotten better. After that I caught the stomach flu along with the last legs of the head cold so yeah, forgive me for not posting sooner like I promised some of you?

Well I hope you enjoy this chapter, and soon Jake will have his own POV but not just yet. Till then, enjoy Nessie ^_^

The first thing I noticed when I woke up the next morning was that my whole body ached. I had been in the same curled position all night, my legs were asleep and my back ached from being bent the whole night.

I got up carefully, stretching my body thoroughly, and walked over to the window. The sky was still a dark grey, the clouds forming a single ceiling over the earth; there was a thick fog that wafted through the area. I shivered a bit from the chill that had seeped into the room during the evening. Pulling my arms around myself I strode over to my dresser, pulling out my undergarments and favourite pair of distressed, ripped, skinny jeans and a black, fitted turtleneck.

After I collected my clothes for the day I made my way out of my room and towards the open door of the bathroom, shutting the door silently behind me and locking it. I made as little noise as possible, as to not wake the others who were still sound asleep, as I striped my nightwear and turned on the shower faucet. I fiddled with the knob a few times before getting the temperature to just how I wanted, before stepping under the scolding hot spray.

I relaxed for the first time since I had arrived in this house, letting the water work its way down my thin naked body, releasing the tension in my aching muscles. I rolled my head, working out the kinks before I worked some shampoo into my hair, loving the feel of my fingers messaging my scalp.

The time past faster than I wanted, it was far too soon before I realized I had to get out. There was noise from downstairs and grumbling from down the hall, grabbing my black bra and clipping the latch in the front closed, while I slid on my matching panties. I grabbed the jeans and slid them up my legs and over my hips, buttoning the front. The turtleneck was next as I pulled it on, the soft material warming my freshly washed skin. With no other thoughts, I threw my towel I had dried myself with, onto my pajamas and underwear I worn yesterday, bundling everything into my arms I opened the bathroom door quietly, peering out into the hall for a moment before making my way back into my room.

The feeling of guilt flooding my senses as I dropped the bundle in my arms, onto the still mad bed; why was I feeling guilty? For taking a shower? No, I think it was because I felt like a stranger in a stranger's home, like I had to sneak about without getting caught. It wasn't a feeling I enjoyed, this is my new home and I felt like a thief at midnight.

I sighed, closing my eyes and swallowing the lump in my throat, I had to get past this… if I didn't, I would forever feel like the thief.

The decision to call Mandy suddenly filled my mind, and with a sudden rush I jumped up from my bed and ran out of my room and down the stairs to the kitchen. I stopped just short of the door and quickly composed myself, walking the rest of the way into the room.

Seth and Leah where leaning against the kitchen counter, a plate in their hands, Sue was flipping something in a type of pan she was bent over. Both Seth and Leah looked up at me as I entered, pausing briefly before continuing their breakfast.

"Nessie?"

I looked over at Sue, "Yes?" I asked.

Sue put the contents of the pan onto a small plate and turned to me, "Breakfast, here." She said handing me the small plate.

I looked down at the food and smiled, there, sitting on the plate, was one large strawberry waffle, perfectly made to a golden brown. I picked at the edge, and putting the piece to my mouth, it was delicious, moist and sweet, a perfect combination. Before I could forget, I looked back up at Sue. "Do you have a phone I could use?" I asked while breaking off another piece of the waffle.

She nodded distractedly, and pointed absentmindedly to a phone, not taking her eyes off the daily news paper she was reading, that rested on the wall, the cored hanging to the floor. I walked over and grabbed the phone off the hook, resting my plate against the counter as I did so, and dialed Mandy's number for her new cell phone she just bought only a few months back.

The number rang for a few moments, before she answered with a dull, "Hello?"

"What's wrong with you? Did you have a fight with Michael?" I asked through the phone.

"OMIGOSH, Nessie! How are you? Is everything alright, how is the family? Are they treating you alright, because if they're not I can come down there-"

"Jeez Mands, one at a time," I said giggling slightly, her voice cheering my guilty mood up instantly.

I could hear her give an exasperated sigh on the other end, "You're just to slow to keep up." She said with a short laugh.

"Oh yes, I am so slow. Just like that time when I kicked your ass in March, when Michael wanted to hold a race. How many yards did I win by again? Care to refresh my memory?" I asked with a soft snort. "And don't think I can't tell your rolling your eyes now."

"OK fine, so you're not slow. But seriously Ness, what's up? How is the new family?"

A smile touched my lips at the concern in her voice, "Nothing is really up, but did you know that Sue is Native-American? I'm living on a reservation, so far it's been ok, I live by a forest, it's really pretty you would love it here Mands. The family is good," I snuck a peak at the others before continuing in a lower voice, "Sue has a son and a daughter, Seth and Leah, Seth is the same age as you and I while Leah is eighteen.

Seth is ok, I don't really know much about him to be able to judge, but I don't think Leah likes me very much. We'll see what happens in the future. Sue has a boyfriend named Charlie, I haven't met him yet but I have a feeling I will soon. He gave me some of his daughter's clothes; I guess she left them behind when she moved out or something."

"So you're doing ok then?"

"Yeah… I'm doing alright. "

"Good," She said in a warm voice, "hey look, I have to go, the bitch is about to bust a nut."

I laughed, "Ok, I'll talk to you later Mands."

"Take care of yourself kid. I'll call to check up on you soon."

The click on the other end sounded and I hung up, placing the phone back in its place. My stomach gave a small growl and I shook my head while looking down at it, "Oh be quiet, I'm going to feed you." I said to my body while picking up my, momentarily forgotten, plate and breaking off a piece of the waffle. "Happy?" It didn't reply. "That's what I thought."

"Nessie, now that you're off the phone, I need to talk to you." Sue said looking at me as I went back over to main group, only Seth and Sue remained, Leah having probably left while I was on the phone. I waited patiently for her to continue. "I have to leave right now, so I won't be driving you to school, Seth will be."

"Don't worry," Seth interjected, "I'm a good driver. I've only gotten into a few minor accidents; no one has died so far."

I gave him a small smile, praying he was only joking.

"Seth, knock it off, don't scare her. He's kidding Nessie, he knows if he ever got into an accident he would have his car taken away." I saw Seth roll his eyes and mutter incoherently under his breath, "Now your backpack is by the door, Charlie dropped it off last night when he came by. It has everything in it, notebooks, pens, and your new school books. You should be all settled for school. Meaning, Seth, you guys have to leave in ten minutes so I suggest you get ready." She leaned over and gave her son a kiss on the cheek, who promptly whipped at his skin, and then gave me one along with an encouraging squeeze on my shoulder. "I hope you have a wonderful day at school Nessie. I'll see you tonight." With that she walked around us and out of the kitchen, a few seconds later we heard the sound of keys and then the front door slam.

"You know," Seth stared, "she's really happy you're here. She told everyone about you last night, and when I say everyone, I mean every single person who showed up… which would be everyone." He laughed. "Why don't you go get your shoes, and then meet me by the car that's outside? I'll be out in a few minutes."

I nodded and left, walking up the stairs once again that morning, and down the hall into my room. Soon after I shut my door, I sauntered towards the small closet and opened it, looking down at my suitcase I had stuffed into it, I opened the zipper in the front, digging my hand deep into the pocket until I felt the chain of the silver necklace I had put in there, it had been the first thing I had packed. The chain was thin silver and at the end hung a delicate flower, shaped into a Baby's Breath, a single small blue stone sat in the center of the thin curved petals.

I lifted the chain over my head, moving my hair as I did so, and straitened the necklace so I sat on my chest gently. I walked over and grabbed a pair of socks from the top drawer of the dresser before I pulled on my shoes, ankle high, black boots that went over my jeans, which I had worn yesterday. I stared at my reflection in the full length mirror, sighing as I did so.

This was as good as it was going to get, I said to myself, combing my bronze hair with my nimble fingers. After a minute or two I gave up and grabbed the hair brush from on top of the dresser, having remembered I had placed it there the night before. Running the brush through my hair, I brushed it in till there were no more tangles, and it shone brightly.

I grabbed a thick, hooded, black jacket from the closet and walked out of my room, making my way to the front door, grabbing the dark purple backpack on the way, and out into the cold morning air.

I shivered absentmindedly and walked over to the beat up, '57 Ford truck and leaned my back against it, waiting for Seth.

It wasn't long before he emerged from the house, the slam of the door bring my attention towards him. He sauntered over in an easy manner, grinning in my direction he walked around to the other side of the truck. "Hop in." He said before climbing into the front seat.

I really hope he really hasn't had any accidents, ones that Sue doesn't know about. Taking a deep breath I opened the passenger door and slid in.

Seth pulled to a stop, parking his truck in the La Push High School parking lot. Students milled around the entrance, talking to one another about their weekend. Seth turned to me with a smile, "Don't worry, we don't bite," He said with a secret smirk. "Admissions office is the first door on the left when you enter the school. I have to go meet up with my friends, will you be ok?"

Bite? What did he mean? "Yeah, I'll be fine, thanks for the ride." He nodded and got out. I watched him jog over to a group of guys, all whom I noticed where very hot, and not a bit out of shape. Biting my bottom lip I shook my head, clearing the thoughts that suddenly invaded it, and got out. The door squeaked as I shut it.

Students turned to glance at me as I made my way up towards the school building. Whispers started to erupt as I walked up the stone steps. Whispers I could hear all too clearly:

"Who is she?" "Why is she here?" "Look at her, what is she doing at this school?"

I ignored them all, even though a pain hit my heart at the thought of being an outcast, before I was even through the blue metal doors.

The halls where crowded with teenagers, they shoved passed me with odd looks, heading towards their lockers. I kept my eyes forward as I made my way down the hall, finally coming up to the Admissions office. Pushing forward I walked through the door and into the small room.

A lady with black and grey hair twisted at the top of her head, looked up at me as I entered. "Hello can I help you?"

I moistened my dry lips and nodded, "Yeah I'm new here, Renesmee Carlie, Sue Clearwater-"

"Oh yes, yes. Sue said she had adopted. So you're her?" I nodded. "Well welcome to La Push High, this is your class schedule," She said handing me a piece of paper; I glanced at it, noticing I had History first with Mr. Hawk, I looked up as the bell rang, "you better get to class dear, but before you do, please sign your name here, please." I took the pen she offered and scrawled my name where she had pointed to. "Mr. Hawk's class is just down the hall third door on the right."

The warning bell rang as I exited the office; I hitched my backpack farther up my shoulder and proceeded to head towards my first class.

The butterflies threatened to burst from me as I stood in front of the misted pane glass window of the History classroom. It was nerve wracking as I pushed the door open, its well oiled hinges not making a sound as it swung open. Mr. Hawk , I assume, looked at me once and then again in surprise, I couldn't blame him, it's not like I look like any of the other students, with my lighter hair and ivory skin complexion, it was no wonder people kept whispering as I past them this morning.

"Hi," I said shyly, "I'm Renesmee, I'm new here."

Mr. Hawk looked down at his roll sheet and nodded, "yes right here, Renesmee Carlie, correct?"

"Yes sir."

"Well welcome Renesmee, if you will just take a seat by Mr. Black, Black stand up, there you go, today I just want you to take notes, ok?"

"Yes sir," I said once again as he sat down at his desk. I faced the class, all eyes on me; I felt like an animal in a zoo, I'm the main freak attraction… the only one of my kind.

"Hey."

I looked at the person who talked, it was a guy with dark brown eyes and black hair that was trimmed short, his skin was sun kissed, his body was well muscled and I could tell that it was from natural causes and not from weights at a gym. In simple, he was gorgeous.

I smiled and made my way between the desks to the empty one that stood beside his. "Hi."

He nodded in my direction, "Hey, Jacob Black."

"Renesmee Carlie, though Carlie isn't my last name."

He flashed a smile in my direction, showing off a set of perfectly straight white teeth, "Well it's nice to meet you Renesmee Carlie."

I smiled back, "You to Jacob. By the way, you can just call me Nessie."

So how was it? Was it boring? I'm sorry if it was, I'm tired (no excuse) so yeah not that matters, if I'm tired I shouldn't be writing, so I guess I'm not that tired lol. I hope it wasn't too dull, the next one won't be.
