First day of Public school
Npov
I couldn't even fall asleep last night but fortunately I did. I think my uncle stood outside my door until I fell asleep. Then I woke up way too early for school. My Uncle Jas tried to calm me down a bit but it really didn't work. But now my breakfast is done, my bag is packed, and Aunt Alice is waiting for me at the car. We're taking the Volvo to school. It's like the official going to school car.
"So I'm going to ask. How do I look?" This had to be the thousandth time I asked my family. But they answered every time.
"Overly excited as I have mentioned before darling." said my Uncle Jas.
"Like every kid on the first day of school honey." Starts off grandma.
But then my grandpa picks up and adds, "But remember you must not let anything slip about us, okay? Because we don't want anything to happen to you."
"Yes Grandpa, I remember everything. I will be a good safe girl." I answer reassuringly.
He gives me a hug and the rest of my family follows. Each gives me their input in my ear filled with safety tid-bits and support. I was off after that. I climbed into the back seat and my dad took the passenger seat. It didn't take us long to get to school. Glad that I memorized the school map and my class ordering I was able to make my way to class with time to spare. Alice timed our arrival perfectly. I don't know if people noticed me, my dad, and Aunt Alice when we got here but they surely noticed me in home room. None of them approach me. My dad and Aunt Ali were in a different home room than me but I knew that I would see them in my later classes. With the morning routine completed it was time for class to begin. History.
"Class today we have a new student joining us." says Mr. Histor. "Can you please tell us about yourself?" He asks looking at me.
Standing up I announce. "Hi class. My name is Renesme Cullen but you guys can call me Nessie if that's too hard to remember."
"What kind of name is that?" asks a boy in the second row with a raised eyebrow.
"I was named after both my grandmothers." I respond. That had to be safe to say. No harm there.
"Oh I see." He replies. I can tell by the look on his face that he thinks me name is weird. Oh well. I don't care.
"Well Renesme, what brings you here?"
"I didn't want to be homeschooled anymore. I wanted to get the high school experience."
"Well that's good to hear. Now before we get too far behind let's begin the lecture for today." He signals for me to take my seat.
As class got underway I received my first note in class when Mr. Histor wasn't looking. It came from the girl closest to me. It read:
Hi Renesma, my name is Zuri. What's your schedule like? If we have some of the same classes we could walk together.
She seems nice. Maybe even a possible friend. I know that if I make a friend that I need to be careful with our relationship. However it would be nice to be friends with someone outside of my family. Let's see what do I say?
I think I can figure out where my classes are but having someone to walk with would be great. So here are my classes. Well at the moment History, then math- algebra II, English, lunch. My sister and brother and I may need a place to sit. Chemistry, drawing and painting and then ending with French. Ooh and good job at attempting to spell my name. Here is the correct way for the future its R-E-N-E-S-M-E.
As discretely as she passed it to me I passed it back. I know my father would not approve of this, or Edward I should say. In the public we three are sibling.
After she reads the note she smiles with a thumbs up. Soon enough the bell rings to signal that first period is officially over. Not bad for the start of the day. World history is not that bad from another perspective. However I think I will always appreciate what my uncle taught me.
"Hi Renesme." she pronounces carefully making sure that she said it correctly.
"Hi." I respond with a smile.
"So I will definitely be seeing you again today. I have chemistry unfortunately as well and French." She frowned when she mentioned chemistry but held no particular emotion towards French. If anything she seemed indifferent towards it.
"You don't like chemistry?" She shakes her head violently. "It's not one of my favorite sciences but I tolerate it. Well I'm glad that I will see a familiar face."
"We should probably get moving to our next class but if you happen to notice a boy version of me then that's my twin brother. His name is Zorion and he has Algebra II next as well and then English."
"Cool I will keep an eye out then."
On my way to class I pass Aunt Alice in the hallway. My dad seems to be annoyed when we enter into our math class. In my math class my teacher gives a brief announcement that Edward and I are new students. I scan the room to look for the boy version of Zuri. While I am scanning the room I recognized some of the faces from my pervious class. But behold the seat that I was directed to was next to the boy version of Zuri, who happened to be very attractive I might add. My dad, or Edward, was going to be taking the seat behind me. He's got too good a view of the class from where he's sitting. He introduced himself once I sat down.
"Hey my name is Zorion. Your name is Renesme correct?"
"Yes."
"Nice to meet you and I hope you enjoy math class. What do you have after this?"
"English."
"Awesome, so do I." He seems rather nervous talking and sitting next to me and every so often I would catch him taking a gander at me. But he is not the only one to look at me during class. Some of the other boys were looking at me as well. I know my dad… Edward is not enjoying this. Considering how many times he has been in high school. My math teacher Mrs. Smith quickly began the lesson.
"Zorion, would you happen to know a girl by the name of Zuri?" I know it is a pointless question but I wanted him to feel more comfortable sitting next to me. I knew he would know. Their names are too similar along with their olive rustic skin tone that stands out from everyone else that I have seen today.
"Yeah, yeah, that's my twin sister." he responds less nervously and casually.
"She was in my first period. She told me that I might run into her male persona." I say conversationally.
"Well, you more like sat down next to me so… I guess she called it." he smiles. He has nice white teeth.
When I wasn't paying attention Edward kicked my chair lightly to bring me back to focus on the lesson. However I think he's not really paying attention either. I mean he is like a professional student. When it came to lunch I was just going to sit with Alice and Edward, but the twins made it very clear that we had to sit with them. Turns out that they generally eat lunch together with their friend Taylor and that me and my siblings would be great for added company. Taylor loved Alice's outfit and found Edward to be very cute. I nicely told her that he was taken. Zuri and Taylor are really cool. All three of them meant on the cross country team and have persuaded me to talk to the coach about joining and trying out for the track team. It sounds fun and I already knew that I was going to do some extra curricular activity. I like running, I clearly picked it up from my dad and considering that he is the fastest, I've inherited some of his speed. However if I'm not paying attention I can trip over a log, thank you mom. the rest of my classes went by smoothly as well. I think I'm going to enjoy French and Art class the most.
