Jacob's POV

Today was going to be better. I was sure of it, because Nessie and I would be in all the same classes. I had to smile at the thought, now I could keep a closer eye on her. Yesterday had been pure torture. I couldn't do that again.

I was sitting next to Nessie, again in the back of Edward's car on our way to school. Nessie was wearing a red and white sweater dress thing with a wide neck that showed off her shoulders, the bottom reaching her thighs, and something Alice called 'leggings', half of her hair was pulled into a bun on the back of her head, the rest cascading down her back in wavy curls. In short she looked amazing.

I didn't like it.

I knew that boy, what ever his name was, that followed Nessie around yesterday would want to do that again today, only today I would be there, I wasn't going to let that happen.

"Jake?" Nessie's voice brought me out of my thoughts. I looked up at her questioning face.

"Hmmm?"

"We're here." She said motioning to the window at the school building.

"Oh, my bad." I said hopping out of the car. The rest of the family were waiting on the sidewalk.

"What were you thinking about?" Nessie asked putting her arm through mine. It felt good, her skin felt cool on my warm arm.

I shrugged. "Just about today." I said shortly. I knew Nessie would know I was leaving out something, but hoped she wouldn't press it. I didn't think she would like my plans for biting that human boy's head off if he came anywhere near her ever again.

She sighed but thankfully didn't ask me anything more. "Yeah, I'm excited that I don't have to face all those stares alone today."

We walked into the school building, Edward kissed Bella on the mouth and Nessie on the forehead before we all separated. Bella lead the way as we made our way to Algebra. We walked into the class room and sat on the back row of seats. Nessie sitting between Bella and me.

Everyone in the room was throwing glances at us, and they weren't very sneaky about it. Though it might have had something to do with the fact that we were sitting behind everyone.

Every guy in the room was looking over Nessie with lustful eyes and I had to fight the growl in my throat.

I was so distracted that I didn't notice the girl that I had seen yesterday, the one with the unflattering shirt, had walked right up to my desk. I sat back just in time as she sat down on my desktop. "Hello Jacob." She said in a low voice. I tried to keep the grimace off my face.

"Hey." I said, I couldn't remember her name so I left it at that.

"You weren't in here yesterday." She commented throwing one leg over the over, I guess trying to show off her legs or something. "Not that I mind, but why did you change classes?"

I didn't even look at her while I answered, I looked at Nessie. "Well there's someone I wanted to be with that was in this class."

Nessie's eyes gleamed with laughter and happiness and I heard that girl gasp.

"So-" She started, but just then the teacher called the class to order. The girl made her way to her seat with a sulky expression.

I barely listened as Mr. Jason started talking about something in the book. I just kind of looked at Nessie. She was so cute. Was I allowed to say that? Being a guy, did that make me less manly. Oh well. I didn't care, she was just too cute! Leaning over her school book with a line on her forehead, showing she was concentrating. I felt a smile on my face, I couldn't get rid of it.

I had probably been staring for a good ten minutes when Nessie glanced up. "Do I have something on my nose?" She whispered too low for human ears to hear.

Quickly I shook my head and looked away, my face felt hot. "No." Was all I said pinning my eyes to the teacher. What was wrong with me?! It wasn't new for me to stare at Nessie. Heck it was a daily occurrence! So why was I blushing? Blushing?! I didn't blush. Not that I couldn't, just didn't. I shook my head, I was giving myself a head ache with all these different thoughts.

So for the rest of class I decided not to think, if I did, I would probably think of how weird I was acting.

Though by the end of class I had the biggest head ache I had ever had. I wasn't very good at the not thinking.

We walked out of the classroom and Bella turned to us. "Well I'll see you guys later then." She said hugging Nessie, and then me "Take care of her." Bella whispered as she hugged me; so low I almost didn't hear it and knew Nessie didn't. I gave her a tight squeeze, trying to covey that I would, before Bella pulled away and was walking down the hall.

A cool hand slipped into mine. "Come on, we need to get a move on." Nessie said tugging me down the hallway. "We don't want to be late for class."

I smiled down at her. "Yeah, I'm really worried about that." She rolled her eyes before letting go of my hand, my smile faltered at that, and started ahead of me. I didn't have to even try to catch up to Nessie, my legs being 10 times longer than hers; I took three steps and was walking next to her again. We walked side by side, people continued to stair, and I didn't have to try very hard to ignore them. My thoughts had again turned to things I didn't understand. I had a feeling something was changing, something big, I just didn't have a clue as to what was changing!

I didn't even remember walking into the classroom but when I brought myself out of my thoughts I noticed I was sitting down in a room, people around me were talking to one another and the teacher was up at the chalkboard writing something on it.

I heard Nessie say something, I wasn't sure what, but when I turned to ask her to repeat what she said I saw she wasn't talking to me and I felt a growl rumble deep in my chest.


Renesmee POV

I walked next to Jake as we made our way to Miss Kim's classroom. I was slightly nervous, because last night I had decided to take a different look at school and the people in it. I had judged too quickly, I knew next to nothing about humans and the way their minds worked. I had no right to judge something I didn't understand.

So now that I was going to give these humans a try, maybe even befriend some of them, I was a wreck! I hadn't told anyone except mom about my decision, and I had told her about my fears. I didn't know how to converse with people. I didn't know anybody outside my family! How was I supposed to make small talk with a human? To learn about them, and them to learn about me? That's what friends did right? They talked to one another to get to know about that person.

I sighed. I just had to trust mom. She said it was okay to be a little scared; but that I shouldn't worry, it'll come naturally. I took a deep breath and walked into the class room and took a seat close to the back, Jake next to me. That was my one comfort, Jake was with me.

We sat for a few minutes, I could tell Jake was in deep thought about something and I didn't want to break his concentration so I just looked to the front of the room where Miss Kim was writing something on the chalk board on the wall.

"Hello Renesmee!" I heard a voice say.

I looked up and say Garret smiling down at me. I took a deep breath and smiled back, I could do this. "Hey Garret!" I said. "How are you?" That sounded nice, right?

"I'm good, what are you thinking about your second day of school?" He asked leaning against my desktop.

I couldn't help but glance at Jake, who still looked in deep thought. "I think I'm a little more comfortable than yesterday."

Garret didn't seem to notice my looking at Jake cause he said. "Yeah moving to a new place can be kind of weird."

I felt my eyebrows draw together. "But I thought you said you lived here your entire life?" How would he know what it was like?

He turned a little pink, I wonder why. "No, n-no I haven't ever moved. It's just my best friend, Justin Larkin, he moved here from GA about five years ago."

"Oh." I nodded my head. Yeah that made since. "That's cool, so when did it get easier for him?" I heard a low growl and peeked over at Jake who was now not looking deep in thought at all, but very mad, and he was staring at Garret. I tried to give him a warning look before I went back to Garret hoping he wouldn't notice Jake glaring at him. I thought I was doing a pretty decent job talking to him, and I didn't want Jake to mess me up.

Garret laughed completely unaware of Jake. "Well, if you knew Justin, you would understand but he still some times has trouble." I knew my face looked alarmed, it didn't get any easier!? But Garret quickly said. "But that's just the way Justin is. He is really weird that way."

I wasn't sure if I liked the fact that Garret would so willingly call his 'best friend' weird, but then again, maybe he was.

"Ok class lets get started before we're all old and fat." Miss Kim said from the front of the room.

Garret looked sullen as he moved from my desk and went to sit two rows in front of where I was.

Once the class started I looked over at Jake who was still looking like he was going to bite Garret's head off. "Would you stop that?!" I hissed making my voice lower so only Jake could hear.

He looked back at me. "Stop what?"

I rolled my eyes. "What do you think? Stop glaring at Garret!"

Jake's face hardened. "Why were you talking to him?" He hissed back.

"Because I'm trying to make a friend." I said looking around, several people were glancing in our direction.

"Why?"

Looking around again I turned to the front. "We can't talk about this now."

I could feel Jake's eyes on me through out the class, but refused to look at him. I knew I would start talking again.

Besides I liked Miss Kim, she was very nice and had an interesting view on things. I didn't want her to think I was being rude.

As soon as the bell rang for the end of class Jake and I walked out of the classroom and headed in the direction of the lunch hall. "So why were you talking to Garret?"

I sighed. "I just think I would like to try and make a friend." I knew I probably sounded silly. I had all I really needed and wanted in my family. But something in me wanted to make a friend, to see if someone would want to be my friend, just because they like me. Not because they were family, or imprinted on me and had to be my best friend. I knew my family loved me, and not just because I was family, but still I wanted to make a friend.

Jake gave me a weird look, one of confusion. I just sighed and walked up to where the rest of our family was waiting on us.

"What's wrong angel?" Dad asked as we went through the lunch line. I sighed and touched his hand replaying him my time in Miss Kim's classroom.

I shrugged and said in my head, letting him hear it. "Is it so bad to want to make a friend? To have someone who likes you, just for you and to hang out with them?" I paused. "I mean I know I could never be very close to a human, because of what I am, and what you are, but I could do it; right?" I asked looking him straight in the eye. I wanted to know what he really thought, and didn't want to hear what he thought that I wanted to hear.

Dad's eyes were soft and comforting. "I may not understand the want for that, but if it's something you want to do, then there is no way I could tell you it's not okay." He said quietly. I smiled, dad could always make things better; I thought as I gave him a sideways hug.

My hand automatically went to dad's so I could think to him. "Thanks daddy."

Once we made it through the line we went to the same table we had last time. As we walked over I saw Garret sitting in the middle of another table surrounded by other students, all laughing and talking to one another. Except one of them, one sitting next to Garret who had black hair and black rimmed glasses and was looking no where but down at his slice of pizza. Maybe that was Justin.

I sat down next to Jake and mom, dad was on the other side of her and everyone else was on the other side of the table.

"So angel, how has your day been so far?" Mom asked moving some things around on her plate. I knew she was asking about the 'making friends' thing.

I nodded and smiled at her. "I think it's been pretty good." I said before taking a bite of greasy pizza. Ugh! I would really have to start bringing my own lunch.

I heard a huff and looked up at Rosalie. She looked positively murderous. "What's up with Rose?" I asked rather quietly, though everyone at the table could hear me.

Emmett looked like he was trying not to laugh. "Oh Rose just doesn't like this girl in our history class." He said quickly.

I raised an eye brow. "Really?" I had never known Rosalie to be one to let a girl, a human girl to get her upset on any level.

Emmett smiled brightly and nodded his head. "Yep. I think her name was-" He was cut off when Rosalie let out a low scary growl.

"If you want to keep your head I suggest that you shut up." She said not turning away from what ever she was watching like a hawk over my shoulder. I had to take a peek. I tried to follow her glare and found a pretty strawberry blond haired girl walking away from the lunch line.

I was too scared to ask why she didn't like the girl, I didn't want to get on her bad side. No sane person did! Even if you are a vampire. I was just going to let Rosalie hate the girl, that was fine with me.

Nothing else really happened while we, meaning Jake and I, finished eating. When we were done we filed out of the lunch hall. I would have history with mom and dad next, but Jake would be going somewhere else.

I looked over at him, he still looked miffed at me, but I ignored that and hugged him around the waist. Mom and dad were waiting for me somewhere behind me and even though I knew dad would just hear it in his thoughts I took Jake's hand and thought,

"Please don't be upset with me. I promise to explain everything later." I said pleading him with my eyes to not be mad at me. Because I knew that if I didn't fix this now I wouldn't be able to concentrate all day.

Jake sighed. "I'm not upset; a little confused, but that's okay. Don't worry about it." He said and kissed me on the forehead before he started off in the direction of his next class. I stared after him 'till he was out of sight. I knew I had to get a move on, I didn't want to be late for history, but for some odd reason my legs weren't working properly at the moment. The spot on my forehead was still warm from his lips touch my skin.

"Angel we need to get going." Dad said from behind me and I turned and followed them as he and mom walked hand in hand down the hallway. I couldn't help but smile at that. It was beautiful; their love for one another. It was so powerful that it was impossible not to see, it just glowed off them like the sun glowed on our skin. Even when they were just walking down the hall with dad slinging his arm over mom's shoulder absentmindedly playing with one of her brown curls, it was obvious.

We had just walked into Mr. Jones' classroom when a girl who looked about 7 feet bounded up to us. "Hey! My name is Bethany!" She said rather loudly and stuck out her hand.

I took it and said. "I'm Renesmee Cullen, and this is my sister and brother Bella and Edward." Man that sounded funny coming out of my mouth. Mom and dad nodded politely but didn't shake Bethany's hand for fear of her noticing their cold skin.

"Yeah I know! Everyone knows who you guys are! I would have introduced myself yesterday but I got sick half way through the day and had to go home before lunch. Sorry!" She said brightly, swaying back and forth. She was rather amusing to watch, she couldn't seem to be still for even a moment.

I blinked a couple times at her smiling face. "Oh, um, that's okay. Are you sure you're well enough to be here? You're not still sick are you?" I asked.

She shrugged. "Not really, after I finished throwing up last night I felt a lot better! And plus I wanted to meet you, I had heard you were really nice!"

I laughed to myself and could see out of the corner of my eye that mom and dad were doing the same. "Well I'm going to go find a seat." I said hoping I didn't sound rude or abrupt.

Surprisingly Bethany grabbed my hand. "No it's okay, I saved you a seat next to me!" She said and started pulling me to the middle of the class room.

I looked hopelessly over my shoulder at mom and dad. They shrugged and watch amused as Bethany led me to two seats near one wall.

"See? You can sit here!" She said proudly and sat down, I did the same. "You've probably had this question asked like a hundred times but I don't know the answer to it so I'm going to ask anyway." She stated matter-a-factly. "What do you think of Alaska? You moved from England right? It must be a big change. I couldn't imagine moving to a place so different!" She said all in one breath, she talk a mile a minute!

I stifled a laugh and said. "Yeah, it is a lot different. But I like. The people here are really nice." And though the people in England might have been nice too I had never met them. "It's cool that in everyone of my classes someone from my family is there with me. I think that makes it a lot easier."

"Do you miss your old home and friends?" Bethany asked putting her elbow on the table and resting her chin in her hand looking at me intensely, as if my answer was of great importance.

I thought about it, would it be weird if I said no? Maybe I should say yes and talk about how I promised to keep in contact through email and such. But I kinda liked Bethany, she reminded me something of Alice in a way. So I decided for the truth; or part of it at least. "I don't really miss my old house because the new one is just amazing, it's like a castle! And I didn't really have any friends back there, so there aren't any to miss."

I was surprised to see Bethany look genuinely sympathetic. "Oh. Well at least you won't have to worry about that here!" She said sounding chipper yet again.

I couldn't help the laugh that came out, but didn't get to comment because then Mr. Jones called the class to turn to page 70 in our books.

I happily listened to the teacher as he started to talk animatedly about the Civil War. I had mad two friend today!

Maybe school wasn't too bad after all.....maybe
