Chapter 5:

Registering

"Aw come on Nessie. I knew you two would be okay and I helped you get through it" he said.

"Helped me" I yelled at him. "You gave me to him, didn't sit with me in the car, and then left with my mom" I was screaming.

"Nessie, you were hidden in my shirt so you didn't see the glares your dad was giving me. If I didn't do what he said, he would probably make me go to school with him" he said matter of factly

My mouth went into an o. Then I felt my temper rising. I tried my best to calm down and not yell at my dad after we just , made up.

"Dad" I said in a strained voice. "Is that true" I asked.

He didn't answer but just looked away.

"Edward" I heard my mom . . . I mean Bella rebuke him.

"You know what dad" I was about to yell but decided not to. "It's okay. You had good intentions" I said straining to keep the anger out of my voice.

I saw him smile. He leaned down and kissed my hair.

"Good Job" he congratulated. I cooled down since there was no point in being angry.

"We'll wait outside" Emmet said motioning to him, Rosalie, Alice, and Jasper.

I just shook my head as we walked into the office. Carlisle stepped forward with Esme.

"Excuse me" he said in a dazzling voice. The attendant looked up.

"What is she thinking" I begged my dad.

"The usual" he answered.

"I still want to know" I begged

"Okay" he answered.

"I need to get these students registered" he said pointing to me and Jacob.

'Oh my gosh! He is gorgeous! Is he married or is that lady his sister? They look to alike to be married' my dad whispered.

I just giggled. I still found it funny that every female attendant nearly went head over heels about Carlisle or my dad.

"I just moved here. I sent all the papers already" he said.

She rustled her papers on her desk and answered sweetly.

"Of course! You must be Dr. Cullen. All the payments and paperwork are done" she said while flipping her eyelashes. "They just arrived today"

'Oh man! I really hope that isn't Mrs. Cullen. If not, I could win him over. I bet Steve wouldn't mind.'

We were in the 20th century for Pete's sake not the 1900's! Didn't marriage mean anything to people anymore? I nudged grandma Esme and she spoke up.

"As my husband said" she said emphasizing the word husband while she wrapped her arms around his waist. "We sent it in. We were told we just had to fill out a couple more sheets that can only be found here?" she asked.

'Dang it! Maybe I can win Mr. Hot stuff over there with the bronze hair' my dad said with a chuckle as my mom stiffened

He was used to it but my mom was still adapting. I couldn't blame her. If anyone would try to get cozy with my Jake, I would have trouble not breaking their neck.

"Renesmee" my dad scolded " You have to be careful! If not, maybe you're not ready" he reprimanded.

'NO!! I'm ready dad. I promise!' I yelled in my head.

He just nodded.

"Okay Dr. and Mrs. Cullen, all you must do is fill out this transportation info, personal info, and permission for pictures, internet ect." she said as she attached it to a clipboard with a pen.

"We have many chairs over there if you would like . . . or I have some right here" she said motioning to the ones closest to her desk and winking at my dad.

Geez. What is her problem? My dad just kissed my mom on the lips quickly as he sat in the one farthest from the attendant I heard a humph and a "Fine!" I just laughed. Grandpa gave my dad the clipboard and he and Esme left.

There were 4 chairs arranged in and circular formation and there were tons of these around the huge office. My mom sat on one side of my dad and I sat on the other. Jacob sat across from my dad next to my mom and I.

"Why don't you fill this one out" he said as he handed my mom Jacob's form and he kept mine.

"No problem" she said as she kissed him.

Ugh "Save it for home" I told them.

"Yeah guys, we actually have memories that we don't want and we don't need more" Jacob said.

My dad just growled as he pulled away. They filled everything out quickly but stopped at emergency/trouble contacts. Oh Boy. After some thought, my dad wrote down his and my mom's name in the same box and both their phone numbers. Next to it, he wrote:

If ever any problem, please contact both.

"Nice" I commented acidly. I was about to add but decided to look up brilliantly. I swallowed my comment as I saw the look my dad was giving me. He looked down and continued to write all the names and phone numbers of Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Alice, Jasper, and Emmet.

"Here" he said as he handed it to my mom.

"Thank you" she said as she took it and filled out the rest of the info.

We all got up and took the forms back.

"All done" my dad said as he laid them in front of her. Her heart took off like my mom's used to. God, that must have been embarrassing.

"O-o-o-okay" she stuttered "Here are your schedules" she said as she handed our schedules to my dad.

"Maps are in the cabinet in the front. I guess I'll see you two bright and early Monday morning" she said.

"Have a nice day" she said as we left.

I was the only one that said "You too"

On the way out, my dad grabbed a bunch of papers and handed them to me and Jacob.

"What's this for" Jacob asked the question that was on the tip of my tongue.

I just looked at the pile. The stack was at least 1 inch thick.

"Your bell schedule, lunch, holidays etc. You guys don't really need this but it's good to keep it in a section in your binder incase teachers go asking and once in a while, it actually comes in handy" he explained as we walked back to my mom's car.

We hoped inside. This time, my dad sat up front with my mom and Jacob sat in the back with me. I leaned against his chest and he wrapped his arms around me.

"I love you" he whispered as he kissed my hair.

'Get out' I commanded my dad who I knew was in my head.

He coughed; embarrassed that he had been caught.

"I love you too Jacob" I said as I snuggled closer to him.

The drive was pretty short. I thought only a few minutes had passed when we stopped

"Come on guys" my mom called.

"Can we stay" I asked.

I saw Jacob tighten my hand and smile.

"Yeah Bells, can we" he pleaded.

Unluckily our thoughts gave us away.

"NO!" my dad said as he yanked Jacob out of the car.

I just followed since I knew there was no point in arguing. Everyone was outside of the office. The school looked a lot like their old high school. It was pretty big but still looked like a school, not a University. Everything went just the same as when I registered. I sat in the corner in Jacob's lap, thinking, while he played with my hair.

"Let's go" I heard my mom call.

I looked at my watch and 20 minutes had passed already! I must have really zoned out. I got up quickly and ran after them. The ride home was quiet. I rested my head on Jacob's shoulder and relaxed.

We arrived home about 15minutes later. It looked lots like our old house. I guess that was the idea. It had a meadow and a farm. It was really far away from the main road but we didn't care. It was perfect. I got out of the car quickly and slammed the door a little too hard.

"Nessie" my mom called a little miffed.

"Sorry" I said as I ran through the house. Jacob was right behind me.

I looked at him and in my haste to get upstairs, I slammed into uncle Emmet and flew back slamming into Jacob and sending both if us sliding across the floor. Ow!

"Ow" I said as I got up and rubbed my head. I had a huge bump.

A chorus of "Oh my gosh Nessie!! Are you okay!" rang in my ears. My dad and Jacob were at my side at once. I was like my mom in the sense that I didn't like attention.

"I'm fine" I said as I brushed my shirt in case there was any dirt.

"Wow Nessie! You have a huge bump the size of a tomato on your head" uncle Emmet said earning a slap from my dad.

"I'm fine" I assured them as I ran up to my room with Jacob, my face red with embarrassment.
