AN- Thanks to Twilove and Blacksun4destiny, I've updated way quicker than I expected :D. I know it still took awhile but it actually took me way less than I thought to get this out.
If you have any ideas of what should happen in this story, let me know. I'm not sure what the problem of the story will be yet. I have a few ideas but I'm not sure witch one to go with. If you'd like to see a specific thing happen, lemme know.
Disclaimer: Like I said before; I do not own Twilight, or any of the characters.
The school wasn't too difficult to navigate at all. Even if Edward hadn't been accompanying me, I'm sure I could have easily found my way to each class.
We were currently heading to the cafeteria for our lunch period. I could already tell that lunch was going to be my least favourite period, solely because we would do nothing. We would sit there, in the corner of the room, with our trays of props. Of course, Nessie could nibble if she wanted but I knew she preferred blood to human food. It would also be slightly suspicious if only one of the seven of us was eating.
Edward, Nessie and I made our way to the table where sat Jasper, Alice, Rosalie and Emmett.
"Hi Bella!" exclaimed Alice.
"Hello to you too, Alice," Edward breathed. He and Ness both chuckled.
Alice rolled her eyes and returned to her conversation with Jasper.
Every now and then Renesmee would lightly bite down on a piece of pizza. And every time she did, Emmett would make a joke of how disgusting the food looked or just simply gag. I can't say I don't agree with him on that but that didn't stop Edward and me from getting defensive of our child—even after all these years, I still liked the sound of that.
We got stared at a lot. After awhile, I barely even noticed it. A few times Edward tensed. Once he had even growled quietly.
"Edward!" I had whispered.
"Sorry, love." He had apologized, kissing my hair.
After lunch we had biology. As we walked into the classroom, holding only hands, the teacher, Mr. White, found us two empty chairs. Naturally, the people we were supposed to sit next to changed seats. That left Edward and I as lab partners and Nessie with a boy named Ryan.
Ryan had short, untidy blonde hair. It was spiked slightly in the back. His hair reminded slightly of Mike's hair. He wore a gray sweatshirt and jeans. He had bright blue eyes. You could easily tell he was proud of his eyes, he was showing them off for Renesmee. Obviously, he fancied her and wasn't used to being turned down. Girls probably swooned over him because of the beauty his eyes held.
"You'll tell if she has problems, won't you?" I asked quietly.
"Of course," Edward nodded.
It worried—though it should—me that Nessie might have problems with dealing with the sent of his blood so near to her. It was her first time being in a public place, other then La Push and Forks, so big with so many humans, in such a small room. It was dangerous. It was almost a repeat of my original junior year.
The boy looked over Renesmee several times. I wasn't the only one who felt uncomfortable, Edward went stiff several times.
When class was done we met up with Nessie. She had a very worried expression written across her face.
"You okay Nessie?" I asked her.
"What? Oh… Um… Yeah. I'm fine" She stuttered. She shook her head, as if to clear her brain of all thoughts. "What's our next class?" She quickly changed the subject.
"We have World History." I said looking at Edward. He shrugged.
"Do you mind if I meet you there?" she asked shyly. "I need a quick human minute." She continued, using my old version of telling Edward I needed to use the bathroom. "I promise I'll make it to class on time."
"Um… Sure. But do you want me to come with you?" I was worried for my daughter. She looked like she'd just seen a ghost. Or worst, like she'd just killed someone… "Nessie, you didn't—"
"No!" She practically shouted. "Mom, dad was watching me through my own eyes. I'm fine. I'll meet you in class." She said in a very low but serious tone.
"Alright," I said, dropping the subject. "Meet you there."
Renesmee turned around and walked swiftly away.
"That was weird. Are we sure she didn't bite anyone?" I asked Edward.
"I'm… Not sure." He stared down at me.
"What?" I was perplexed. I blinked several times, way more time than was actually need. Had Edward just said he wasn't sure of Nessie's thoughts? "Weren't you keeping an eye on her, Edward? What if she actually did bite someone?" I grabbed a hold of his hand. We started walking toward the World History classroom.
"I was. I mean, I was listening to her. I don't understand. Just now, she was thinking of Jacob, nothing but Jacob. I understand that most of her thoughts lead to him—most of mine lead to you—but everything was about him. She pictured every detail of him. It was almost as if she was trying to keep me out of her head. Like she didn't want to accidentally think something." He looked concerned. We both were.
"Edward, something must have happened. I'll talk to her tonight. Alone. Whatever it is, obviously she doesn't want you to know." I looked deep into his eyes.
He forced a nod in return.
The next class passed rapidly. Renesmee seemed to be thinking better. Edward brightened up after, I assumed, Ness had stopped thinking of Jacob.
When the final bell rang all the students piled out of the room. Even Mrs. Hill seemed ecstatic to have the day over. Renesmee, Edward and I were unnaturally slow as we gathered our books.
"Um…" Mrs. Hill started. "May please speak with you three for a moment?" she asked us.
We continued gathering our books. I placed mine in the bag I was carrying. Edward led us to the front of the room.
"Yes, Mrs. Hill?" from the smile on Edward's face, I could tell Mrs. Hill was about to say something the Cullens had never heard from a teacher before.
"I've noticed you three are new. I also taught Jasper and Alice earlier today." She smiled.
"Yes." Edward nodded. "We have a big family; Alice and Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett and Bella, Renesmee and myself."
"Well, I'm just curious," she bowed her head, as if she were ashamed. "about your family, I mean. Why are there so many of you?" Ah, so this was why Edward was smug. I was guessing Mrs. Mill reminded him somewhat of my curiosity a decade ago.
"We were all adopted. Our father, Carlisle Cullen, and mother, Esme Cullen, adopted us awhile ago. Esme was mine and Emmett's aunt. My father and Mother died long ago. Bella and Renesmee just joined our family a year or so ago." It was weird that Edward was so straight forward with his explanation.
"Carlisle Cullen? Isn't he the new doctor working at the hospital?" she asked sweetly.
"Yes." I answered. "He takes the nighttime shift" I smiled in return.
She looked up once again. It seemed as if something had sparked inside of her. As if she'd completely forgotten to say something and looked at us had reminded her. "You look so much alike…" she trailed off.
I went stiff. Pushing away my elastic like shield I mentally said: Edward, what do we do? She does look so much like you.
He responded my tightly wrapping his arm around my waist. "I'm sorry Mrs. Mill, but we really must go. Our brothers and sisters are waiting for us, I'm sure. Maybe we could continue this another time?" Edward had once again amazed me with how well he could lie.
"Yes, yes, of course. I'm so sorry for keeping you. We'll talk later. I hope the other kids warm up to you. They seem a bit… nervous around you." I smirked. Of course they'd be nervous. They should be! We were beautiful, gorgeous, especially Rose. "Have a good night." She waved us goodbye.
"Good night Mrs. Mill!" Nessie exclaimed.
Once out of sight of all the humans still at the school, we ran to the Volvo. The other Cullens were already seated in the read convertible. Only one of them was missing. Alice.
"Hello!" Alice popped out from behind the silver car. Of course I hadn't notice her, she just barely cleared the height of the car. "I thought I'd ride with you three this afternoon." She yanked Renesmee's hand, pulling her into the back seat along with her.
I ran to the other side of the car. I hopped into the passenger seat and we were on our way home. "So why is it you wanted to come with us? Normally you're all sickened by the 'happy family'." I put air quotes around the words.
"Oh, I am! We all are." She giggled "I just needed to talk to you three. You're getting suspicious. With Nessie's nibbling at lunch, only one of us was eating at all, it looked weird. And then back there, with Mrs. Mill. She was very curious. Edward, we just got here. I don't want to move again!" she complained.
"Alice, we're fine! Nothing happened. She doesn't expect a thing." Edward replied, smiling at a memory. Nessie touched Alice's cheek gingerly.
When we arrived home, we were greeted with angry faces coming from our siblings.
