"That sick jealous prick Jacob!"

I wasn't thinking. The instinct to run and chase him was too strong. I only remained on my place, because Bella was pulling me down with all her might.

"Tell me what did you hear. It had to be awful to get you like this."

"Let me go after him."

"No. I don't know what he was thinking, or how did he find us, but I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for it."

I looked at her, not believing her words.

"Why do you always get on his side?"

Her soft hands held my face. "Not again Edward. I'm sure this time is different. What was he thinking? Tell me."

So I told her. How he got mad when she chose me so he ran away, how he found an old man who listened to him and gave him a tiny bottle and told him to inject the content to Bella to get her to simulate the effect of imprinting on him. That's when he ran away.

"Edward, do you think that's why Renny is so indifferent towards him? I mean, if the imprinting was fake, it had to end sometime."

"See, I have to kill him for hurting Renny."

"He didn't hurt her, and please stop. I don't think I can hold you back anymore. What are you going to do when you get him? Kill him? And what if we need some answers of the substance he injected me? It affected me too, I guess I transmitted whatever it did to my poor baby when she was in my womb. We need answers and I don't think we'll get them chasing him now."

Perhaps she was right.

"Look, why don't we go and talk to Carlisle. I don't want to burden Renny anymore, she's so nervous about tomorrow."

Her amber eyes were almost as expressive as when they were brown. She knew they always got to me.

"Ok. But you'll have to deal with the rest of the family when they find out." Because I was so sure they would chase him and kick his sorry ass for hurting Renny and even for trying something so low to separate us.

I was so glad Renny only needed to sleep a couple of hours. She passed most of yesterday afternoon pacing around the house. She was so nervous. Alice told her that it would be fine, but Renny still fretted.

The sun was rising, Bella was smiling at the clothes Renny chose for today.

"I'm sure Alice will try to get her back to change." She caressed the dark green cotton dress, which Renny paired with a denim jacket and a pair of black converse.

"She was muttering that of all the things she should had inherited from you, the dislike for heels was one she expected Renny didn't."

"Hey, I'm a sneaker girl. I'm wearing ones too." She twirled around showing me her blue skinny jeans that hugged her perfect ass and the soft pink top. Then she showed me her tiny feet wearing gray converse sneakers.

"So, what should I wear? I don't want to break any hearts today."

She elbowed me. "You're so cocky. I want you with jeans, and maybe this t-shirt." She pulled a dark grey one. "Oh, and please go with your boots. You look so sexy with those."

I smiled, she was so sexy when she teased me. But unfortunately, my brother Jasper came knocking our door.

"Alice is expecting us downstairs for inspection in five seconds."

"Only he could deal with her. Now I'm tempted to go with a huge hoodie just to irritate her."

"Nah. There's a bet going on, and nobody wanted you to find out. They want to know who gets the annoying admirer. The 'Jessica Stanley' from Milford Creek."

She came to me and put her arms around my neck. "Of course you. You're the handsomest," kiss, "the sexiest,"another kiss, "the kindest," I kissed her harder. It was difficult to resist her.

"Ugh! Mom, come and help me, please." Renny showed her face through the door.

"What's the problem sweetheart?" I let Bella to go with her, I was sure it was a 'girl' thing.

I descended the stairs, to find Carlisle waiting for me.

'I'll talk to you later, after I talk to Sam. I don't want the others to find out yet.' He thought.

I only nodded. We called Carlisle yesterday and told him about our little encounter with Jacob. He agreed with Bella on waiting, but he suggested it would be better to talk to Sam first. Just to see if they knew Jacob was hanging around here. It worried him that he followed Renny after changing his mind. He believes that whatever he injected on Bella, may had faked the effect of imprinting on Renny but he wasn't sure what kind of reaction it could had left on him, and we knew how volatiles were the wolves.

We arrived to school early, we wanted to show Renny the campus. Last thursday, Alice and I accompanied Carlisle and Tanya to register us to guarantee that one of us would be close to Renny all the time. So we knew where to go.

"It really has lockers!" She giggled. She was so excited by the most inane things. Like her 'first locker'. She ran to open it, and huffed when she noticed it was a bit rusty.

"We'll fix it. We can hang a picture of the family here to cover that stain." Bella was as excited as her. She told me it was also a first time for her, to come with the family and see high school with a different point of view.

The corridors got full of people a minute later. All eyes were on us. But I found solace in watching the school through Renny's eyes. She was so full of awe and excitement that made me care less about the whispers around us. The voices were always the same. 'Oh how handsome, oh she's so hot, oh I'm gonna hit that. I didn't even wanted to acknowledge the group of girls who were following us. Well, maybe I could. They seemed very fond of Emmett, and surely teasing one of my brothers would cheer up Renny.

"Here's your classroom. I believe Jasper is supposed to pick you up when the class finishes." I told her, and I winked to let her know everything was fine. She got inside the classroom and took a seat at the back.

'Go! you're going to embarrass me.' She thought.

I chuckled. She was acting like a teenager.

I went off to my class, history. The whispers changed a bit when I got alone. Now I noticed how some people wanted to meet us, some felt curiosity but wanted to let the others do the dirty work. I was glad to notice that very few were claiming one of us as theirs. That claim usually lasted until Rosalie deemed it necessary to make it noticed some of us were couples. How long will it take here? A month? A week?

My history teacher was a young man, probably in his early thirties, worried about how to make this class to pay attention. He knew they hated history even before he started. He noticed me, and decided it would be a great way to break the ice if he got me at the front and asked me the usual questions. 'At least they will wake up' he thought.

"I see we have new faces. Come over and introduce yourself." He was so satisfied of the way various eyes opened at the perspective of meeting me.

I gave the usual speech and got back to my seat, now completely aware of the obnoxious stares of my classmates. I let my mind drift to Renny's classroom. I knew it would be different because it was the first day in high school for everybody in her class. Yep. Her teacher made seat in a circle as asked them to talk a bit about themselves. She was doing fine.

When the bell rang, Jasper made me knew he was at Renny's door. He would led her to the next class while I looked around for Bella and Alice. God, I never shared a class with both of them. I hurried so we could find a seat together.

I noticed the stares got more intrusive, and I hoped they didn't dare to bother Renny.

"Hurry up Edward. This, you'll want to watch with us." Alice whispered.

They were seated at the left of the classroom, both giggling. Alice started to think about the changes she wanted to make to the house but her thoughts had little glimpses of Tanya in a formal dress, while Bella didn't bother to hide her chuckles.

The teacher asked us to take a seat. He was a very serious man with glasses.

"Welcome to Pre-calculus. This time I see we have new faces, now would you guys like to wave and say your names." The teacher was too eager to hear about us. Strange.

"Hi, my name is Bella McCarty. I'm new around here..." Bella spoke so easily, so different from the first time I met her.

"My name is Alice Platt." And she stopped, trying really hard to hide her laughter.

"I'm Edward Masen." And that's when I knew it. The teacher was beaming. Oh, you got to be kidding me. He was fascinated by Tanya, my 'older sister'. He thought about offering tutoring to the three of us, hoping an invitation to meet my sister. Of course the girls were laughing.

The rest of the day went on the same way. No one dared to came closer, seeing as we spent the whole day just by ourselves. We were waiting at the front door for Seth, who was asked to join the football team and was talking to the coach.

"So Renny, in scale form one to ten, how was your first day at school?" Alice asked.

"It was fun, I'll give it an eight. You know, your movie marathon wasn't helpful. I'm still waiting for the cheerleaders mocking the nerd kids." Renny answered smiling.

"Well, Seth is coming. Go to the cars." Rosalie said, she was eager to get home because she found a couple of girls who tried to harass her and she didn't want Renny to watch her use her bitch brow to put them in their place. She was the first to move, Renny by her side, when it happened.

A couple of girls came from the school. One of them was in a class with Renny, the other was a senior and she felt like Rosalie was taking her place in the school. She passed besides Rose, and tried to push her with all her might... only to rebound from Rose's hard as steel shoulder.

'It's important to let her know she can't intimidate us Edward. Sorry for not faking it.' Rose thought.

"Hey bitch! Look where are you walking!" The girl almost fell and was incredibly angry for failing. She was lucky we continued our path to the cars, but she wanted me or any of the boys to turn around and look at her.

Rose took Renny with her and the boys, while Alice, Bella and Jasper came with me. Once we were in the car, Alice was the one who explain it to me.

"The other girl is her sister, Nora. She has a few classes with Renny, and she felt threatened by Renny's confidence. Apparently the older girl, Layla, is the queen bee of school. She's training her sister to become the leader as her and our presence intimidates her. Obviously she went for Rose thinking she would knock the toughest of us, a few notches down. I see that she'll try again tomorrow, but with Bella. Now I want you to think how do we handle this situation with Renny. We usually ignore them and they leave us alone after a few weeks, but this time I'm not so sure."

"I think it's better we talk to Renny and discuss this. There are many other things going on and I don't feel like dealing with this petty drama." Bella huffed.

Alice elbowed her. "Don't think I'm not aware of your little encounter with Jacob. Too bad I can't see past him."

"Oh Alice! It's awful. He used something to fake the imprinting thing. What if this is hurting Renny? Somehow, I feel guilty." Bella asked.

"You? But Why? He's the one who deceived us." Jasper said, sending calming waves to Bella.

"I led him on. Edward warned me, but no! I have to keep his friendship when it only led us to this." Bella looked down.

I took her hand with mine. "I didn't know you were feeling so bad. Don't worry we'll... wait! Is this one of those weird mood changes? What if the substance he injected to you is responsible for those mood changes?"


Duh Edward! He, he. I was dying to write that.

Now, I hope you liked their first day of school. There wil be more drama, and yes, they'll have to deal with nosy school partners; but the school won't be the main cause of the drama.

Next we'll finally meet the Milford Creek coven.

See ya.
