His smile was mesmerizing and perfect. If he hadn't just told me his name I would have been able to look at him for hours. His white teeth were enchanting. I never seen a vampire like him before. His smile reminded me of something. Like I had seen it somewhere before. It was oddly familiar I just couldn't place where i had seen it. This smile was alluring.
His name rung in my head like an echo, being repeated over and over. Abram. Abram. I had an instance flash of Alice hunched over the coffee table with the rest of my family, whispering."His name is Abram." Alice had said in harsh whispers. More stifles. Then Jake let out a loud growl, throwing back his head. The memory flashed before my eyes. They were talking about this perfect stranger. But what could Alice have said that would make Jacob growl like that. Abram was clearly like us, he wasn't bad. I could feel it, almost as if it washed over me. I thought all of this while he still smiled waiting for me to introduce myself.
"Hi, I am Renesmee. Its nice to meet you." I said shaking my head out of the old memories.
"Renesme huh?" He looked at my curiously. Butterflies went fluttering in my stomach. I liked the sound of my name on his tongue, more than i probably should. "That's an interesting name. I haven't heard one like that before." I blushed. He chuckled at my obvious embarrassment.
"haha," He continued to laugh. "Don't get me wrong its beautiful. It fits you." Man this guy was upfront. Normally that would have bugged me, but when he said it, it didn't. He smiled at me again.
"Thanks, I guess." He just chuckled and turned to face the front of the room. was calling the attention of the class. I hadn't noticed the room was filled now. Everyone was huddled in little groups whispering, pointing, and turning heads to get a better look at me. I caught some of the whispers. "Shes part of that new family that just moved here." "Yeah, They are all amazingly good looking." "Oh yeah. One of them, I think his name is Edward, Oh My god! He is gorgeous!" A girl with red hair squealed. The boys mostly focused on me sitting at the end of the row. I wouldn't normally think of guys as gossipers but there they stood gossiping away, thinking up possible ways to get my attention. Abram just stared ahead waiting for the class to listen to the teacher.
I tried to focus on what the teacher was trying to teach. Everything she said I had already learned. It was so basic I probably knew it before I looked two. But the person next to me, his presence was undeniable. He made it extremely hard to focus on the dull lesson. My stomach turned. I looked over at him, unable to deny the urge anymore. He eyes were focused on the front of the room. He actually looked like he was learning something. I snickered to myself. I leaned my head on my hand letting my hair fall in front of my face. Creating a curtain between us. I looked at him through the curtain. At least he couldn't see that i was staring.
I studied his face. I don't know why I was so drawn to him. It was like he had some sort of power over me, pulling me to him. He was exceedingly handsome. All His features were strong and pronounce. His high cheek bones meeting his seemingly perfect nose. His strong jaw line clenched in concentration. His full lips slightly parted as he focused. His hair was a shaggy brown, but it fit his shaped face. His topaz eyes were big, beautiful, and surrounded by lashes. I just looked at him in awe.
When suddenly I realized he too was looking at me, out of the corner of his eyes. He looked like he was studying me. I immediately looked away and blushed. I saw him smile. I made myself focused the rest of the class, but I never felt his eyes leave me. His was still watching me waiting for me to look at him again. I never did.
The bell rang. Finally! I was finally free of that insipid class and away from Abram. My stomach pulled at the thought of being away from him. I tried to gather my stuff as fast as I could and get out before he had another chance to talk to me. I didn't know what I was feeling, but it scared me a little.
"What's your next class?" I jumped a little at his words. He sent butterflies to my stomach. What was wrong with me? I had never had this reaction with a guy other than Jacob before. "uh- Bi-biology." I managed to stutter out. He had an effect on me, I wasn't used to. He smiled. "Me too." Oh great another class this Abram. "You don't mind if I walk with you there do you?" I just shook my head no. I truly didn't. Even if he had a weird effect on me that scared me, I felt comfortable in his presence.
"So how do you like school here?" He was trying to make conversation. "Umm.. Its good I guess. I have only had two classes..." I looked up at him. He was tall, maybe 6' 1" or 2". Not nearly as tall as my Jake.
"How long have you gone to school here?"
"A little over a month." I nodded my head. "And how do you like it?"
He was new too. It was only polite to ask him how he liked it.
"A lot better now that you are here." He looked down smiled, a breathtaking smile and gave me a quick wink. I gasped. His answer shocked me He gave a short chortle at my reaction. I hadn't realized I had stopped walking to stare at him. People were staring at me, and whispering amongst themselves. I heard a conversation going on between a couple girls.
"Of course she gets the attention of Abram. I have been trying for a month. and nothing. But she is here for two hours, and he is basically drooling." She said with disdain.
"but have you seen the other new kids. There is one that is even more gorgeous than Abram." Her friend said in an attempt to comfort her.
"I am sure you can get on of him." Another girl chimed in. I assumed they were talking about my father. I laughed. I wonder what they would think if they knew he was married and I was his child. I laughed again and quickened my pace to catch up with Abram.
Abram was at the door of the classroom waiting for me. He was holding it open.
"After you." He said. I entered the room.
Mr. Wheezer was my biology teacher. He was a short plump man that was balding in the back. I suddenly felt a hand on my back and a voice in my ear. "I'll save a seat next to me for you." His smooth voice said. My stomach twinged at the sound of his voice, and the spot where he placed his hand tingled. I turned and nodded. "Thank you." I tried to keep my voice even. I still heard it shake a little with the words. He was very upfront, but... I liked it. I shook my head trying to clear the feeling as I walked over to . He gasped a little as he took in my appearance. I was getting that a lot today. "Hi I'm Renesmee."
"Your my new student." He said more to him self than to me. Ew, gross. My dad wasn't going to like that when he had biology.
"Yeah I guess so." I handed him my sheet. He turned and signed it. "Thanks." I turned to look for Abram. He was sitting in the back of the class room. The seat next to him open just like he had promised. He raised an eyebrow to signal me over.
Since Abram had found it convenient to sit in the back. I had to walk by rows of boys and girls, who stopped what they were doing to get a good look at me. I rolled my eyes. My mom said I looked just like my dad when I did that. Wasn't this school small enough that everyone had already seen me, and they could stop staring already? I sat myself on the stool next to Abram. I laughed to myself as I thought over and the other boys' reaction to me. It didn't go unnoticed by Abram.
"What?" He looked at me with a puzzled expression. "Nothing." I said shaking my head. "I just think the teacher has a little crush on me." I shuddered. He laughed audibly and the two people in front of us turned to look at us. He just shook his head beside me, a disgusted look on his face. "I know its gross." I smiled. His laugh was amazing, smooth as silk. It was getting easier to talk to him. He was very friendly, the type of person you just wanted to tell everything to.
"You have no idea the effect you have on guys." Yet again he was so upfront, so honest. "Oh yeah? what do you mean?" I looked at him in confusion. The only guy I was aware of that I had an effect on was Jake. He must have read my expression because he continued. "I mean when we were walking down the hall, every single guy stopped and stared. I think I heard their hearts skip a beat. I felt very honored to be seen with you." He laughed. I just blushed. " Oh. I--" was all I could say before Mr. Wheezer was calling the class to order. Biology went quickly sitting next to Abram. I found it easy to talk with him, and liking him even more. I was surprised when the bell rang. I gathered my stuff again, and walked beside Abram to lunch.
The next period was lunch. We walked into the already crowded cafeteria. I was a little nervous. I had never been around this many humans at once, and it made me thirsty. Plus a lot of the kids had stopped what they were doing to look at me and Abram. I hated being stared at, and had suffered through it enough for the day. I spotted my family sitting in the corner of the very full room. When they spotted me they didn't look to pleased.
"Um... Well I see my family. I guess I will see you later." I looked up at him waiting for his answer.
"Yeah, I will see you tomorrow in music." He leaned in to whisper in my ear. I smiled and blushed. I turned to walk towards my family. As I walked over to my family I tried to figure out the look on their faces. My dad and Jacob looked the most pissed. Alice just sat there shaking her head.
"uh, Hey guys." They nodded to acknowledge me. I sat down next to Jacob, and took his hand. "How is school going?" I said as I leaned in to kiss his cheek. "Great." Jake grunted. He sounded angry.
"Nessie, who was your new friend you walked in with?" Rosalie asked. She seemed to be the only on looking at me. Everyone else was paying attention to the food the wouldn't eat.
"Oh him. His name is Abram." I felt Jacob's hand tighten around mine. My dad looked up from his prop of food growling a little. "What?" I asked in response to their reactions.
"Where did you meet him?" My mom asked. What was up with all these questions. Couldn't they just say good job Renesmee you made a friend outside of this family?
"In music, then we had biology together."
"Damn Bastard." My dad muttered to himself. Jake nodded his head in agreement. I looked between them astonished. They didn't even know him, how could they be judging him so quickly!
"You haven't even met him Da- Edward!" I said it a little to loudly. My dad looked up at me a look on his face, confusion, mixed with a little bit of anger. "What?"
"how can you say damn bastard, if you haven't even met Abram!" I shook my head. He was so frustrating. So protective.
"I wasn't talking about him Nessie. I just don't like what some of the guys are thinking about you." It was a reasonable answer, but something told me it wasn't the truth. We were quiet for the rest of lunch. I still held Jacob's hand. But he seemed angry at me. I couldn't figure out why.
"I love you." I leaned in and whispered in his ear. He looked away from his food and smiled. The smile didn't reach his eyes and he quickly looked back at what he was eating. What was wrong with Jake. He had barely said two words to me today. He was defiantly mad at me. I just didn't know what i had done.
The rest of the day went quickly. Jacob stayed mad and barely spoke to me, even though we had two classes together. I tried to talk to him, make conversation. All he gave in return were short grunts and hmm's. It was so infuriating.
The ride back to the house after school was silent. Jake still wasn't talking to me. My parents, Alice, and Jasper were all having quiet conversations I couldn't pick up. As I sat in the quiet car, my mind drifted to Abram. He was so nice, easy to talk to, handsome, his smile sent shivers through my body, and a vampire. So the need to keep the secret would be safe. When I thought about him my stomach turned and I got a weird feeling through my feeling. I couldn't identify what it was.
"Nessie.... Nessie? are you going to come inside?" My mom was standing at the door of the car, a questioning look on her face. "Yeah, sorry I didn't realize we were home." I shook off the thought of Abram and followed my mom inside. Everyone was already inside sitting around the large coffee table and TV. Jacob was still wearing the sulking mad expression that had been on his face all day.
"So, how was it?" Esme said carrying a tray of food. She had a huge smile on her face. She was so enthusiastic to hear my response, I couldn't help but smile. "It wasn't as bad as I thought. I met a knew guy. He's really nice." I smiled back at her. I was finally happy that someone was smiling in my family. Everyone just looked so angry.
"Oh yeah! what's his name?"
"Abram." The minute I said his name the smile disappeared. I was defiantly missing something. Something that had everyone in my family jumping to conclusion and worried. I watched as my family exchanged glances. I couldn't take it any longer. I decided to go up to my room. I hated when my family was acting like this. Especially Jake. What had I done to deserve the cold shoulder. Absolutely nothing! He was fine this morning all smiley and happy, but now ever since lunch when he saw me with Abram..... Abram? Then it hit me. Could he actually be jealous? He had to know I was his? That I loved him more than anything? that I felt nothing for Abram? Well did I?
I was lying on my bed contemplating the reasons why Jake could be mad at me. When I heard him at the door.
"Nessie?" His husking voice was quiet as he opened the door. He had a questioning look on his face as he hesitated at the door.
