In the last chapter, Nessie is getting ready for her first day of high school. She is primped up by her wonderful aunts, she argues with her father, and waves good-bye to her loving grandparents.

I was anxious to get to school. I had never really experienced high school before. I would be in the same grade as Alice, a freshman. My mother and father would be sophomores. Rosalie and Jasper would be twins in their junior year. Also in their junior year would be Emmett. I was so grateful that I wouldn't have to go through the torture of classes with my parents. Alice was good enough company, and I wouldn't have all of my classes with her.

My father seemed to be concentrating hard on listening to my every thought, so I was careful not to think anything secretive. My mother sat quietly in the front seat next to my father. She didn't talk much on the car ride, until we were about 10 minutes from the school.

"Now, Renesmee, you know the rules," she said, stern and completely serious. "You are to call everyone by their first names, including Edward and I," she stressed on the word Edward, so I never called him Dad or Daddy. "If anyone asks about your parents, that would be Grandma and Grandpa, got it?" I did. I had known the cover story since I was little, in elementary school. Those were the days when we had to move almost every year, because I couldn't pass the appropriate ages. I had gone to kindergarten, then I moved. Then I went to second grade, then third, followed by sixth and eighth. Now I was finished growing and starting high school.

I didn't even notice at first when we pulled into the drive of Viewmonte High School. This place was much like where I had been born, always raining and gray. I didn't know how anyone would want to live here by choice. Even though I rarely saw it, the sun shining was beautiful! The way the light illuminated on the flowers and grass, and even my skin, was simply fascinating. The building was red brick, very unattractive. I was sure my aunts would not approve. There was moss growing off the edges and down the sides of the gutters on the school. Viewmonte was a fairly large building. Speaking that there were only 1,000 students in the entire school, there must be a lot of extra room.

"We're here, Renesmee," my mom, erm…I mean Bella…said to me, grabbing my hand gently and pulling me out of the car. I smiled. We stood in the parking lot, our whole family gathering together. One by one, everyone climbed out of their cars and stood collectively. I felt the excitement building in me, although when I glanced at my Uncle Jasper's guilty look, I knew he had something to do with my strong emotions.

I was surprised at the number of people who felt the need to stare at us. I reached for my mothers hand and showed her what I was thinking. She nodded in agreement and I saw her mouth the words, I know. We headed together toward the main office where we would pick up our class schedules.

There was a lady at the office that seemed to have a strong urge to stare at my father and uncles. I could only imagine what she was thinking. I saw my mother and father smile at each other, and silently share an inside joke that was between them. (Did you guys get that…like with Mrs. Cope in Forks?) She smiled at us all. "Are you the Cullen family?" We nodded. The lady, with the nametag that read Mrs. Devaney, went through our names and gave our schedules. We then left the office to go our separate ways.

Alice and I had our first class, Algebra, together. I was excited. I had never made friends at my old schools, but I wanted this to be my chance. Alice and I would have some classes together, but in the others, I would make an effort to find friends.

It wasn't a surprise that Alice took the opportunity in such an easy class like Algebra to ask for a shopping trip. I gave her a disapproving look, but didn't say no. I didn't obsess over shopping like my aunt, but I wasn't obsessed with hating it either, as my mother did. I would probably end up going, but I had enough clothes already. Alice says you can never have enough clothes, as long as there is more to buy.

"I can already see that you are going, so don't bother pretending otherwise!" Alice told me, louder than she needed to. Mr. Bystrek heard.

"Girls…um Miss Cullen and Miss…Cullen? Are you paying attention?" I glanced at Alice. She tossed me a piece of paper and took one out for herself.

"Yes sir!" She said. I looked down at the paper. Notes that were perfect for today's lesson. I smiled. Thank goodness for the fortune teller!

"Good, now don't talk!" He scolded, even though we clearly knew plenty for the class. Alice and I continued talking, though only loud enough for us to hear.

"Ha, now you owe me! I'll drive us after school, kay?" I nodded, with an eye roll, and laughed. It wouldn't be that bad, I suppose.

Our classes passed(all of them had been with Alice so far) and soon enough it was time for lunch. I was sure my parents would be thrilled to hear about my day up to now!

So, what did you think of this chapter? :D I hope you loved it! More coming! Remember, my reviews are my motivation, so for the sake of this story, Review Review Review!!!!
