From Yesterday

Chapter 6

"Mum…..Dad" I shouted "What time is it?"

The sunlight was shining through the window unfettered by clouds, and I was sure from the positioning it was at least twelve, my rumbling stomach confirmed this.

I began throwing my uniform on, my head groggy from crying myself to sleep. When I was dressed dad opened the door and entered slowly.

"Ness… we can't go today" He said motioning toward the bright sun "And with Jacob… I think you should stay off"

"Don't be silly" I said as I forced a smile "I'll go on my own, you can take me in the Mercedes and pick me up again…I want to go"

My dad paused considering for a moment, then nodded, I gathered my school books and ran to the back door.

We arrived at the school in time for lunch which was perfect as I'd missed breakfast; I had not done anything on my own before and was excited at the prospect of temporary independence, I knew this was why he had let me go, the excitement was keeping my sorrow over Jacob at bay, as I went to open the car door he placed a slim mobile phone in my hand.

"Call me if you need anything, or if you want to come home" He said, worry showing in his eyes.

I kissed him on the cheek and wrapped my arms around him.

"I love you daddy" I mumbled into his shoulder before jumping out the car and closing it fast before anyone could peep in and see my glowing dad.

It was different walking into school alone, although I never understood it my family could appear intimidating, it was some human instinct buried deep to be wary of predators the humans didn't even realise they where doing it, but a path would always be cleared, no-one ever bumped into us in the street or was rude. Alone, I guess I was just intriguing, guy's who yesterday had given quick furtive glances approached me and asked me to dances and out on dates, I was polite to them all and said I was busy with the move, girls would come up and marvel at my hair and shoes, ask if I fancied shopping with them since I had such good fashion sense. It was odd but it seemed like everyone wanted to be around me and talk to me.

"Look who's Miss Popular today" Whispered a voice from in my ear, I turned round quickly expecting Jake's grinning smile, but instead it was Laith's face inches from mine, my smile dropped immediately but Laith didn't notice.

"You are the most beautiful girl…" He stated as if was an undisputed fact.

I felt my cheeks go pink and took a step back away from him, I didn't like being so close, it felt personal and like a betrayal to Jacob.

"Come on, partner" he said, taking my bag and placing an arm over my shoulder, leading me towards the chemistry classroom.

"Do you realise" He whispered, pulling me closer into him "every single male in this school is jealous of me"

"Don't be silly" I said whilst fighting with two contradicting urges, one to move myself away from Laith and the other to move in closer.

"Laithwaite, stop using Renesmee as an object for your own popularity"

"Ashleigh, unfortunately we don't all think about ways to make ourselves more popular" He replied with a sneer, turning to face a raven haired beauty leaning catlike against a locker. She didn't look at me her almond shaped eyes focused on Laith.

"Renesmee, meet Ashleigh Masters, Queen B…" Laith began.

"I know who she is" She snapped still not looking away from Laith "The question is, does she know who you are?"

They where both silent for a moment as they stared at each other, I didn't need Jaspers power to interpret the tension, I wriggled out of Laith's grip as the bell rang.

I began walking towards the classroom, but the pretty blonde from yesterday stepped in the way, her blonde hair was tied back from her face making her appear even younger, a couple of paces back was the brunette, her hair had green streaks today that matched her scuffed converse.

"Renesmee" the blonde said with a smile, her voice the same odd mix of soft and raspy "Chemistry has been cancelled; the mad professor had… an accident. Were going to a local café, and we would love it if you'd join"

Don't Nessie said a voice in my head I paused in confusion where had that come from. I glanced behind but Laith had gone, Ashleigh was still leaning against the locker but now she was looking at me, a smirk on her face. The rest of the hall was empty; I turned back to the blonde.

"I shouldn't…" I started, and the blondes face fell "Yeah I guess, it sounds like fun"

The blonde giggled and linked her arm through mine and led me out of the school entrance.

"I'm Morgana" she smiled emphasising the A, she then pointed to the others "Amelia and Ashleigh, but as were friends its Morgan, Millie and Leigh…Now Renesmee that's a mouthful can I shorten it?"

Go back into school, Nessie, don't do this. Strange the voice was there again, it wasn't a voice I recognised, distorted as if it had bad reception.

"Nessie" I said, pushing the voice to the back of my head and answering Morgan's question "My family call me Nessie"

"Like the monster!" Morgan replied her eyebrows raised, Leigh scoffed from behind.

"No" Morgan said "How about Nesmee… Renee or…?"

"Mey" Millie whispered, so quietly I doubted that I would of heard her without my extra senses.

"Close, but I don't know…Wow, you look so radiant" Morgan stated shocked. I smiled back, my skin had a slight glow in the sunlight not strong enough to be overly noticeable, and it usually looked like I had been playing with shimmer make up.

"That's it!" Morgan exclaimed unlinking her arm to jump up "Ray, its perfect, do you like it?"

I smiled nodding as her enthusiasm caught me up.

The Café was small and almost empty, Morgan took my hand and led me to a back booth, there was a girl already sat at there, for a moment I was convinced it was Rosalie until she looked up she wasn't quite as beautiful as Rose, but she was still breathtaking with blonde hair that cascaded down her waist.

"Liv, this is Ray, told you she would come" Morgan looked pleased with herself "Ray this is my older sister Olivia Hale"

Authors Note: Thank you for reading and for the reviews. This chapter has been through six rewrites, because I couldn't make my mind up on names, seriously it was so hard, as I believe names are reflective of a personality. For those of you who love Nessie as a nickname, I don't, but don't worry she be Renesmee most of the time anyway.
