Chapter 13: Starting School

Jake and I quickly ran hand in hand back to the jeep. He turned and kissed me passionately as he started the car, and quickly headed back toward our house. I was tired, it had been a very long day and I must have dosed off on the short ride home because the next thing I knew, Jake was scooping me up and carrying me into the house. My eyes popped open from the movement and from the pleasant warmth of Jacob's arms as they held me. When our eyes met, Jake leaned down and kissed my lips gently.

"Hey sleepy head, do you know what room are you supposed to be sleeping?"

"I am going to sleep in Aunt Alice's room, and you are supposed to sleep in my Grandparent's room," I replied,

Jacob carried me up the stairs to the second floor, and placed me on my feet in front of my Aunt's room. He leaned down and whispered, "Good night my love. Have pleasant dreams," and then he gently kissed my lips. He walked backward, not loosing eye contact with me until his back was to the door to my grandparent's room. Jacob turned and blew me a kiss, and closed the door behind him. I opened the door to Aunt Alice's room, and curled up to sleep, still in my clothes on top of her comforter.

It felt like 5 minutes later that I hear a knock on the door, but when I glanced at the alarm clock, it was 6:30 am. "Nessie, you have school today," My mom said as she entered the room, "You need to get cleaned up and ready to go."

"OK Mom, I'm up. I'm going to take a quick shower, and I'll be right down to eat."

"Nessie, I am really trying hard to keep your father from overreacting about you and Jacob," my mom said, "but you both have to work with us too. Really Nessie, 3am and no phone call."

"Mom, I'm sorry, we just lost track of time. The Quileute's held a bonfire in my honor, and then introduced me to all the wolves and imprints that will be attending school with me. Sam even gave me this special bracelet," I said pointing to my wrist, "It's kind of an imprint low jack and panic button, so the pack can find me if I am in trouble."

"Your curfew on school nights is going to be 11pm. On weekends, Dad and I will make decisions on a case by case basis," my mother replied. It sounded reasonable so I just nodded in agreement. My mom left the room and I started to get ready.

I grabbed some clothes and my toiletries and headed for the bathroom. I rushed through the shower, dried off quickly, and threw on my clothes. I decided to keep it simple today, so I put on a white turtleneck sweater and a pair of jeans. I quickly dried my hair and round downstairs to get breakfast.

Dad was making pancakes as I entered the kitchen. "Good morning Dad, I am sorry I didn't call last night. Mom told me about the curfew, I promise I will be good about it in the future."

"I know Renesmee, I head you from upstairs. Eat breakfast so that you will leave on time."

Jacob came into the kitchen as Dad began dishing out the food. "Good Morning beautiful," Jake said as he strolled over and kissed my cheek. He looked so good this morning; I almost choked on my pancakes when I looked at him. He was wearing a black T-Shirt which fit him snuggly, emphasizing the muscles of his chest and abdomen. He also wore a pair of black jeans, which perfectly outlined the shape of his ass. Damn he looked so good. I started plotting ways of talking him into skipping school with me and making out in the woods all day, when I heard a growl.

"Bella, please put your shield back up immediately, before I never allow our daughter to leave the house again," Dad said scornfully.

"Sorry Dad."

"I know Nessie," Dad said then added,

Mom came into the room and said, "You two better get going. Here Nessie, this was my backpack when I was in school. I put a few notebooks, pens, etc. in it so that you would be ready for today."

I kissed both of my parents goodbye and Jake and I headed out.

As soon as we were in the garage, Jacob pulled me into a tight embrace and kissed me. It started slow and sweet, but I licked his bottom lip, and the kiss deepened. He tasted so good, and it felt so good as our tongues explored each other's mouths. Soon, way too soon, he pulled way from me and said, "We do have to leave now or we are going to be late."

We drove quickly to La Push, and Jacob parked the jeep in the furthest spot from the school in the parking lot. He looked into my eyes and said "Sam and I have it worked out that I will be running patrols of La Push while you are in school everyday. You will never be without a wolf or an imprint by you, so I want you to relax, have a nice day, and make friends. I love you Nessie," he said and then kissed me gently on my lips.

'I love you so much Jacob, I miss you already."

"Just one more thing before you go sweetheart," Jacob said as I started to leave the jeep. He grabbed my hand and placed in it an intricately woven silver bracelet. I was an exact replica of the baby bracelet which he had given me for my first Christmas, except sized to fit my writs. "This is a tradition with the Quileute's. It is kind of our version of a promise ring. It represents that I promise to take care of you, to love you, to protect you, and to provide for you for the rest of your life. I wanted you to have it today, so that you will remember me, and how much you mean to me during your day today."

I felt my eyes fill up with tears, as he fastened the bracelet to my wrist. I grabbed his hair and kissed him with all the passion I felt surging inside me. After a minute he broke away and said, "You better go honey so you are not late." I gently kissed him one more time, and ran toward the school.

Jason and Kristen were waiting for me on the front steps of the school.

"Good Morning Nessie," Jason said, "we better hurry or we are going to be late."

"Nessie," Kristen said, "Welcome to our school, I will see you at lunch later. I know that we are going to be great friends."

Smiling I said, "Thank you both for waiting for me. I am really looking forward to this."

Jason and I quickly hurried down the hall and made or way into the classroom. Leah had arranged it so that he had the seat next to me. My class only had 6 students including myself. Robert was an attractive boy, who seemed shy and sat on the other side of Jason. Ashley was a sweet girl, who was very outgoing, and sat to my left. Nikki was a beautiful girl, who kind of reminded me of Aunt Rose, in the way she was so sure of her beauty and the effect it had on people. Finally there was Jackson, another attractive boy, who sat all the way in the back of the class, and seemed kind of angry that he was forced to be here.

It really was not like any of the High Schools that I had seen in movies or on TV, but not that different from Vampire Academy. We didn't switch classes except for gym, but instead the teachers would switch at certain times which were assigned for different subjects. Academically, the course work was well below what I had been working on with my Dad, but it was really thrilling when teachers would open up the class for debate or discussion. I really did like the social interaction, and I was learning a lot from just the interactions alone.

In what seemed like no time it was lunch. I sat with Jason, Kristen and Claire. Claire was really happy to see me again. We had played together a few times when I was younger.

"Nessie, maybe you and Jacob can come with me and Quil to First Beach after school and we can catch up. It's been so long. Remember when we used to play Barbie's together," Claire said. She was so excited that she was practically bouncing out of her chair.

Kristen chimed in next, "Why don't we all go, it will be fun."

"It sounds good to me," I replied, "but I just need to ask Jake if he wants to."

"He's right there by the window, you can ask him now," said Jason as he pointed to the window behind me.

I quickly walked to the window, and Jake pointed for me to go out the door which was about 15 feet further down the cafeteria wall. He opened the door, grabbed my hand, and pulled me quickly up against the brick wall of the school. He kissed me desperately, as if he hadn't seen me in weeks, instead of hours.

"Wow Jake, that was nice."

"I just wanted to check in and see how you were holding up so far," Jake said.

"It's great. I am making friends, and having academic discussions. You and I were just invited to First Beach after school with the other wolves and imprints if you want to go. Are you interested," I asked.

"Sure, sure," he smiled and added, "I love that you are so excited to be hanging out with the pack."

"Of course I am Jake, they are your family, just like I am going to be someday," I replied.

Jacob took my left hand to his face, and kissed my ring finger. "Nessie, you are my family in every way already, but I will be you husband, if you will have me someday."

"I will marry you Jacob, I just hope you decide to believe me sooner rather than later."

His arms wrapped his arms around me and kissed me deeply. As we kissed, our tongues probing each others mouths, and his arms running up and down my back, until he softly pulled away from me.

"You better get back in there, the bell is about to ring. I'll meet you here after your last class and then everyone can head over to the beach with us."

I kissed him softly one last time and whispered, "I love you," into his ear before heading back into school.

The rest of the day went quickly. I enjoyed gym class with Aunt Leah. She paired Jason and I up to play badminton, so we didn't have to hold back as much as if we were playing against humans. I especially enjoyed English, where the class was discussing Macbeth. Mr. Witter seemed impressed that I had a good grasp of the material.

As the bell rang, I sprinted for the front door of the school. Jacob was standing behind the jeep in the same spot that we had left it this morning. I sprinted to him, showing enough restraint to run at top human speed only, and then flung myself into his arms. Jason, Claire, and Kristen followed me.

Still holding me, Jacob said, "You guys ready to head to first beach. I already filled in the rest of the pack. Quil, Embry and Emily are going to join us, but the rest of the wolves are either on patrol or busy."

"Yeah, let's go," Claire said, and everyone climbed into the large jeep.
