Renesmee pov
The next morning I woke slightly disoriented. Only to soon remember the events of yesterday evening. When I walked downstairs, everyone was waiting for me with big smiles on their faces. I felt my cheeks blush and I was looking through the crowd for my mom. "Where's mom?" I asked my aunt Alice.
She looked uncomfortable, but I could hear my uncle Emmet snicker. "She and your dad are just...hunting."
I knew what she meant by hunting and I groaned in disgust. Everyone laughed, and I smiled that I managed to do that. As if on cue, my parents stumbled - which was strange for vampires - through the door, all over each other laughing like teenagers. Well, I guess they are teenagers in a way.
Grandpa Carlise made a kind cough sound as if to snap them back to reality. And they immediately cooled off in the sight of me. With the exception of holding hands. "Good morning sweetheart!" My mom beamed trying to break the silence.
"Great morning apparently," I retort, and my uncle Emmet loses it.
"Finally someone with a good sense of humour," he yells.
"You hungry?" Dad asks ignoring both our comments, "Pancakes. Yes?"
"How-how did you know?"
"I'm gifted like you Renesmee, like your mom, like Aunt Alice and Uncle Jasper."
"Really!" I said hopefully. "Wait, moms gifted?"
"She's a shield. It's why my gift of mind-reading, doesn't work on her."
"That makes so much sense," I breathe.
"Jasper can feel other peoples emotions and alter them, and Alice can see versions of the future."
"Is that why you all looked at me funny in the cafeteria yesterday. Because aunty Alice saw my future?"
Dad nodded. I thought they were going to kill me at first. Then I realised I probably shouldn't think these things in front of dad huh. "Renesmee," he cooed, and knelt down taking me into a hug, "I'm sorry we all caught you off guard like that, you were just a surprise to all of us. And if I'm being completely honest, it was more seeing Bella in Alice's vision after so many years that spooked me the most."
"You were so spooked by mom that you went hunting with her last night?"
"Okay, this is definitely MY niece," Emmet says proudly.
"I think it's time to leave for school," mom says exasperated, not making eye contact with me.
"I don't have a change of clothes."
This time aunt Alice squeals and my mom stands behind my dad as if to shield herself from Alice. "You know what sweetie," my mom says nervously, "your dad and I will just meet you in the car okay?"
"Oka-" before I could even finish my sentence, Alice had wooshed me up to what I assume is her room, specifically her closet. Aunt Rosalie stood at the door with a sly smile and said, "My poor niece. I swear I'll make this experience up to you with a lift to school, just indulge my sister for a little bit."
I am so confused. But when I tun to face Alice, she zipping around the large walk-in space, searching for outfits and outfits. Oh no. Is she the reason my mom hates clothes shopping?
--
One hour later, Alice had made me shower, dressed me, did my hair and made me look like a California girl. No personally my style, but a least I felt confident. So eh, why not. Rosalie has stood at the threshold of the door, laughing here and there at my other sporadic aunt. But despite the rush of it all, I liked it. I never knew how much I actually missed this. Well, what I was missing more accurately.
"My turn niece!" Rosalie beamed. I don't know why, but for some reason I think I'll enjoy Rosalies more subdued company slightly more.
We make our way down to the garage which contains what I think are 2 Volvos, a yellow Porsche, a red Ferrari a Jeep and a BMW. And there my parents were in the silver Volvo making out again like two teenagers. "Mom and Dad!" I yell frustrated. My mom bangs her head on the windshield and gets of my dads lap, and their both smirking like crazy. As much as this grossed me out, I couldn't be happier my family was back together.
Rosalie grabbed my hand at that moment and took off towards the Ferrari. "Your parents are disgusting no offence."
"I completely agree," I mumble.
They must have heard us, because they were now chuckling. "You want to ride with us?" My mom asked.
"Hmm, hard pass, I think I'll just go with Aunty Rose."
"Okay," my dad managed to say before my mom pulled his lips back to her.
"Oh God, please can we leave now," I groan.
--
When we arrived at the parking lot, the eyes that turned toward my Aunts car were endless. "Aunt Rose everyone's looking."
"Trust me Ness, they are looking at the car, not us."
"Clearly you don't know that everyone, girls and guys alike what do either be you or sleep with you."
"Hahah, I do. It makes Emmet mad even though I bring up all the girls who what to get with him as well. But really, they are just attracted to mystery. In this boring town, we're the strange, intriguing new toys."
"Yeah I guess." Still nobody was looking away, and if it really was just the car then they would have looked away by now, "Thanks for the lift Aunty Rose, I'm just going to talk to my parents before school though."
"Okay, I'll see you a bit later."
The walk across the parking lot to dads Volvo was even worse, and Mels eyes only got bigger when she saw me get in the back seat. "Hi honey. How was-"
"Mom, dad, everyone is looking at me. If I stuff up again in this town things could be bad-"
"Renesmee, everything is going to be fine. They probably don't even remember yesterday. Plus you have been doing so great, and hopefully with time Grandpa can teach you how to control the bloodlust." Dad said.
I nodded. "Also, Sweetie, remember you can't call us mom and dad at school-"
"I know, I know."
"Love you," the said together.
"Love you too," I mumbled and got out of the car, walking over to Mel.
"Wha-Ah-Meh-Ah-Whe," she stuttered trying to keep up with me as I strode into the school.
"Do you have something to say?" I laughed.
"Uh yeah," she spoke as if I said the most obvious statement in the world.
"What do you want to know."
"Fricken everything. How do you know the Cullens, and what happened yesterday and literally 100 other things."
"Yesterday, I just was overwhelmed with starting a new school and my lightheadedness became the best of me. As for the Cullens, my sister is dating Edward."
"Omg so your like one of them."
More than you know. "Not really. Just a regular sophomore-"
"Yeah right."
"Seriously. There's nothing new. Can we go to class now please?"
"Sure," she responds skeptically.
We walk into Year 11 Chemistry which also has my parents in it as well and Emmet. As we walk in we get handed a note and the teacher says, "Trip to the local greenhouse, I need you all to get parental consent and notes back to me tomorrow." I look at mom and dad as the teacher gives me the note and can help but smile. This was weird. I was going to school with my entire family.
Mel and I sit towards the back and she signs the note signing it off as her mom. "God your so lucky," she starts whispering again right as Mr Denver started talking about Acid and Basis' quantitative analysis. "I mean, your sister basically gives you a one way ticket to popularity. I have to say though it if guys are probably jealous of Edward and I'm sorry but I resent your sister slightly because Edward was supposed to be mine, but I guess I can share." I knew my parents were just hearing all of this and I wanted to die of embarrassment.
"Ms Cullen what have I just been talking about for the past few minutes of class?"
"We are to investigate titration curves and conductivity graphs to analyse data to indicate characteristic reaction profiles, for example:
- strong acid/strong base
- strong acid/weak base
- weak acid/strong base (ACSCH080, ACSCH102)" I mean that's verbatim but if you wants me to summarise next time-"
"Keep the smart alec comments out of my classroom or I'll phone your parents-"
"They're dead." I interrupt him, and he snaps his mouth shut. I mean technically vampires are dead so...
"Lose the tone young lady," my dad says under his breath so only Emmet, my mom and I could hear.
"At least I think Emmet could learn something from you. You and Miss Delforbes can be lab partners with him."
I look at Mel who's white as a ghost. "We are going to be lab partners with a Cullen. Omg".
"Chill out would you," I try and tell her. Even though it was at vamp hearing I heard my dad snarl under his breath and my mom was hushing him and holding his shirt tightly.
"I'm going to rip his head off," my dad seethes under his breath.
"No your not, calm down." My mum chides him.
Mel and I move to sit next to Emmet and while she tries to keep her eyes far from him, I whisper, "What's wrong with dad?"
"I'm not sure," he seemed genuinely concerned.
"Is he mad at me?"
"No it's something worse."
I was bouncing in my seat waiting for class to end and finally the bell rang and I darted over to my parents and asked, "What was wrong?"
"Sweetheart just give Edward some room right now,"
"What's wrong with da-him?"
"I think he heard something that he wasn't pleased about."
"Like a thought? Who's."
"Just go to your next class Renesmee," he pleaded.
"Okay," I responded meekly and met with Mel again who had been waiting for be outside the classroom. That was weird.
