Renesmee
" Nessie, it's time to get up, you've got to get ready for school."
" Did you hear that Bella? You sound like such a Mommy!! This is so exciting!!!" Alice was so excited her voice was nearly a screech. I could feel the floor by my bed bouncing under her tiny impatient feet.
I opened my eyes and looked at Mom and Alice hovering over me. They both had big smiles on their faces and I was right, Alice was actually bouncing on the spot, incredible!
It instantly had an effect on me though and I jumped out of bed. I gave them both a kiss on the cheek and went to have a shower. While I was alone I thought about what today would bring. I was excited about all the new people I would meet and hopefully become friends with. I was certainly ready for the new learning experience. I was educated up to a collage level but Dad had said that there were many lessons that could not be taught from a book.
After I was done in the bathroom I walked into my room. Alice had laid out an outfit on my bed. I saw a note on top of the pile of clothes. It read
Just a suggestion!! I looked through all the latest magazines and this is what all the kids are into. Hope you like it! P.S I promise not to dress you every day. A. xx
I couldn't help but laugh. Alice knew I hated being dressed but I knew she was just trying to help me today, and I was grateful. I picked up the dark skinny jeans and put them on. I then pulled on the long fitted tunic top that was a coral color. I stepped into the gold pumps and looked into the mirror. Alice was right, it looked just right for school. I pulled my hair into a pony tail and put on a lick of mascara and lip gloss.
I followed the scent of pancakes down the stairs. Everyone was waiting for me. Jacob was already there eating a huge pile of pancakes. He looked up from his plate and gave me a wolf whistle. I could have given him one right back. He had on a dark blue polo shirt that was tight over his chest and arms. He had even put something in his hair to make it look all messy but in a good way. He looked HOT!
" Nessie, you should eat, now I think. I put vanilla in the batter just how you like it." Dad broke my train of thought and I was left blushing at what he must have heard.
I sat next to Jacob and we ate while everyone went through our bags to make sure we had everything.
When it was time to go I felt relived. Everyone was over excited and it was starting to get on my nerves. They all wished us luck and told us to behave. Well that was aimed more at Jacob than me, but I sucked it all in regardless. In the car on the way in we made sure we had our story straight.
I was taken in by Doctor Cullen and his wife after my Dad got sick and couldn't care for me any more. We had moved here because of Carlise's job. I was going to seventeen in a couple of months.
Jacob was living with his sisters best friend Rose a her husband. Rose was very close to her older sister Esme so had moved to be closer to her. Jacob was living with them because his Dad had decided to travel but Jacob didn't want to go until he finished school. Jacob was seventeen already. We knew each other through Rose and Esmes relationship. We had started dating six months ago.
Jacob parked outside the school office. I saw all the other kids looking at us as we got out of the car. My stomach tightened in response. Jacob grabbed my hand and lead us into the office. The school administrator gave us our maps and schedules and wished us good luck. I groaned when I saw our first lessons weren't together. Jacob had gym and I had biology. I put my hand on his cheek to show his how sick I was feeling.
" I'll be outside your class before your done, I promise, ok?. It's only one hour. Love you." He kissed the tip of my nose and bounded off through the crowd looking like he knew exactly where he was going. I looked at my map again. I had know idea where the biology lab was. I walked around with the map in front of my nose trying to figure out where I was going. All the corridors looked the same. I decided to ask someone. I saw a small blonde girl reading by her locker.
"Excuse me I'm looking for the biology lab, room 16?" The girl looked up from her book and smiled at me. I was relived she was being nice, I'd heard what high school could be like.
" Um, if you go to the top of this corridor and take a right it's the last room on the left." The girl smiled at me shyly and went back to reading her book. I thanked her and followed her directions. I found the lab and took a breath before entering the half full classroom. My teacher introduced herself as Mrs. Hill. She was a small plump lady with graying hair but she seemed nice enough. She gave me a seat at the back of the class. I sat and watched the last few student file in. The last in was a tall slim girl. She had straight dark hair that rested on her shoulders. She had on to much make up which considering how pretty she was I found surprising. She saw me at the back and stopped in her tracks. I heard her heart beat speed up a little. I smiled at her and she looked taken aback by the gesture.
" Mrs. Hill. Do I have to baby sit the new girl?" I felt my checks flush as the class laughed at the girls very loud question.
Mrs. Hill gave a sigh. " Carrie, don't be so rude. Renesmee must be nervous enough with out you playing your games. Sit down now!"
Carrie pulled the chair next to me out. I kept looking to the from of the class.
"Renesmee, I've not heard that before. I saw you earlier, was that you brother who drove in with you? He is hot. Every girl in the school was talking about his this morning! What's his name?"
I felt the flush return to my checks. I cleared my throat to keep my voice steady.
" His name is Jacob. He's not my brother he's my boyfriend." I worked hard to keep my voice from sounding hostile but there was still an edge to it's sound. The corners of Carrie's mouth turned up.
" Oh, sorry." She did not sound sorry and didn't look even a little bit remorseful. Luck had it that at that point Mrs. Hill called the class to pay attention.
The lab was very easy for me and I noticed that Carrie found it easy to. We didn't talk until the bell rang.
" So I guess I'll see you tomorrow then, Renesmee." Carrie gave me a fake smile and walked out of the door. I gathered my things and followed her out. As promised Jacob was there. I could smell his freshly showered skin before I could see him. I noticed that Carrie and her girlfriends were smiling at him from across the hall. I was pleased to see Jacob didn't notice. When he saw me he gave me a big hug and kissed me right on the mouth in front of everyone. I heard a locker slam from Carrie's direction and then stamping feet making their way up the hall. I know it shouldn't have pleased me but it did.
Jacob and I had the rest of our classes together. Everyone seemed to like him and made conversation with him. Jacob introduced me to some of the guys he meet in gym. I forgot their names as soon as he told me. At lunch Jacob and I sat with his new friends. Jacob was laughing and joking with them about sport, music and films. He made it look so effortless. He kept one hand on mine the whole time. I noticed Carrie and her friends glaring at me from their table and it made me fidget in my seat. I was glad when it was time for our afternoon classes.
At the end of the day. Jacob and I walked back to the car. On the way he swapped numbers with a few of the boys from lunch. I heard something about a game and a party. When we were in the car I let out a huge sigh. I looked over at Jacob who was smiling and looking like he had just had the best day ever.
" How did you do that? You made it look so easy. No one talked to me at all, other than that girl who was horrid to me." I could feel my pout coming on and I crossed my arms across my chest.
Jacob started the car and started to drive back to the big house. He looked over to me and put his hand on my knee.
" It will get better Nessie. You just have to try to interact with the others that's all. What girl was horrid to you any way?" Jacob looked concerned about it all, which made me feel bad. I was glad he had a good day. I didn't want to talk about it so I put my hand on his face and relayed the conversation from biology. I saw him smirk as he saw what they all thought about him. I punched him in the arm and he laughed.
" Oww, sorry but it was funny! I really didn't notice anything! Anyway, what are you worried about. You know I can only love you. You should be proud that your boyfriends so hot!" He laughed again and I laughed with him. He was right. Luckily for me he had imprinted on me, he was mine, forever.
Back at the big house we told everyone we had a great day, Jacob told the truth and I lied.. I saw Dad frowning at me, but I would deal with that later. Mom made us dinner and we did our home work. I helped Jacob with his English and let him distract me occasionally with his lazy smile. I touched his leg a couple of times but Dad coughed every time my thoughts drifted. At nine Jacob started to yawn and decided to go back to the palace. I walked him to the door. Saying goodbye was just as hard as the night as before.
I walked back into the house. I fell onto the couch and flicked through the t.v channels mindlessly not really seeing what was on. I felt Dad come and sit next to me.
" Do you want to talk about it Renesmee?" I looked at his face and it was full of concern. His eyes showed how old they were for once. I rested my head on his shoulder and let out a sigh.
"It just wasn't what I expected, that's all. Jacob said I should try harder, he found it so easy it made me angry." I was being honest, it had made me angry that Jacob could interact like that but I couldn't. School was supposed to be for me, he was coming because he had to.
Dad let out a sigh listening to my thoughts. " Renesmee, I'm surprised you thought it would be easy. You have spent you whole life interacting within our family. Teenagers are not always kind and are often rude. Even though Jacob is away from his pack he still interacts with them daily. I have seen how the packs mind works and for Jacob it is like being with them still. He can smell what they have smelt, heard what they have heard and feel what they have been feeling. It's only natural that Jacob will find interacting with others easier than you at first. You will get used to it though. You will find your own friends who like you." Dad kissed the top of my head and held me closer. " Your wonderful, funny smart and beautiful, how can everyone not love you in the end?" Dads word made me feel better, I knew he was biased but it was just what I needed to hear. We sat there watching t.v until it was time for me to go to bed.

I woke up the next morning determined to have a better day. After trying to dress myself twice I called for Alice. " Don't gloat, just help." I sulked annoyed that I couldn't match tops and pants. Alice got it right first time, this time with leggings and a long vest clinched in with a belt. I put a little more make up on today. When I walked down the stairs Jacob's mouth hung open a little. Dad stiffened at the sink when Jacobs thoughts hit him. Dad threw a bagel at his head which made me giggle.
At school I said bye to Jacob and made my way to biology. Carrie was already in her seat when I got there. She looked me up and down but didn't say anything. I took a deep breath.
" So what did you do last night?" I made sure I sounded friendly and genuinely interested.
Carrie raised her eyebrows at me. I just smiled at her waiting for her answer.
" We went to the mall to buy new outfits for Mia's birthday this weekend." Carries till looked a little confused at my sudden interest in her social life. I swallowed and carried on.
" Did you get anything nice? Is Mia a friend of yours?" Carrie smiled this time as she answered.
" Mia's just some girl that's in my gym class. She's ok, her parents are out of town so she's having a huge house party for her seventeenth. It should be cool. All the hot boys are going!!" I sat back and listened to her babble on about boys and her outfit. She seemed relaxed to talk about herself. She even asked me a few questions. I rolled the ready planned answers out and she seemed to swallow it all. The hour flew by. Mrs. Hill was happy to let us chat when she saw we had completed that days task. On the way out of the class Carrie stopped and pulled the strap of my bag so I would stop to.
" You should come on Saturday, to Mia's party I mean. It should be fun, we're going to get totally wasted!! Bring Jacob to." She gave me a smile and breezed out the door just like yesterday. I felt smug, everyone was right, that was easy. Jacobs smell filled my nostrils and I ran out to meet him.
" You look happier." He kissed the tip of my nose and we walked to our next class. I told him about he party and he said that he had already been invited. I felt excited about going and put my hand in his cheek to show him. He gave a big laugh and stopped walking.
" Wasted? Your Dad will bite me and you know it!" there was a edge of concern to his voice. I rolled my eyes at him
"Just leave him to me, ok? I've got Daddy manipulation down to a tee!" I already had a plan and was certain it would work.

For the next week I tried really hard to fit in with Carrie and her friends. I made sure I asked lots of questions as she loved to talk about herself. I laughed when she did, although most of the time what she said was mean rather than funny. I put it to the back of my mind and reminded myself that I was at school to make friends.
Jacob was having a great time. He had made loads of friends and was trying out for the football team. Dad had given him a lecture of ethics and how being a warewolf gave him an unfair advantage. Naturally Jacob ignored him and tried out anyway. I went to watch and wasn't surprised when I saw a group of girls huddled together watching him too. They all shouted when he had a good run or even had the ball. It was a little pathetic but I reminded myself Jacob could never love anyone but me.
When he was done he ran straight over to me and wiped his sweaty forehead against mine making me scream and giggle. His crowd of fans didn't seemed impressed which made it all the sweeter for me. Jacob really was bewildered by the reaction he was getting from the female pupils.
At lunch times Carries friends had been joining us at our table with Jacobs friends. I had gotten to know their names. The big one with loads of curly blonde hair was Peter. He was nearly as big as Emmett and was full of jokes and always the loudest.
Jamie was the little one with shaved dark hair. He was the ladies man and spent all of his time flirting with every girl he could. He seemed to be able to charm them with in one sentence. I had gotten the impression he had a slight reputation. Dan was the tall thin one. He had wavy dark hair and was the quietest out of them all. He was friendly and seemed to like taking a back seat to the others. They all seemed to look out for him, I couldn't figure out why.
It was funny to watch all the hormones flying around. Jacob and I had taken to sitting and watching the playful banter between them all. The main topic of conversation was Mia's birthday party. Carries friend Sarah had told us all that she had sneaked three bottles of vodka out of her fathers drink cabinet without him noticing. Sarah was the most outrageous out of the group. She was average height with waist long blonde hair. She wore skirts that would pass as belts and tight t-shirts over her ample cleavage. She knew the effect she had on the boys and I could tell she loved it. Carrie had told me her mother was in rehab for a pain killer addiction and her Dad was rich and gave her everything.
Rachel was a tiny girl with a high brunette bob, which suited her face. She was very confident and smart. She had told me she wanted to be a doctor. Her and Carrie had been friends since kindergarten and I could tell she just went along with the flow to keep the peace. I liked Rachel the most. She was always reading but was still able to keep one ear on the conversation in hand. You'd think she wasn't listening and then she would come out with a gem of a come back that would have everyone in hysterics.
On Friday afternoon we all said our goodbyes in the car lot and went our separate ways planning to meet at the party. There was a buzz in the air which I hadn't felt before and I was excited.
I had told Dad about the party briefly making a huge effort not to think about drinking. I told him I was feeling much better about school since I had recived the invite and he had agreed I could go as long as I took my phone. Mom seemed pleased I was going out with my new friends. She had asked if I wanted to bring one over. I told her maybe not just yet. I didn't want to freak them out and I was aware that the differences between my family and others some times unsettled people. Although they never guessed right about why, I still wasn't ready to take a chance.
Saturday dragged. Jacob wanted to fix something on his car so I spent the day at the palace with Rose. She painted my toe nails and plucked my eye brows. I ate Ben and Jerrys while I watched Jacob and Emmett poking something under the hood of the car. I heard Rose laugh. She knew more about cars than both of them but had refused to help.
I went home to eat and shower. Mom straightened my hair and pinned it up high. Alice did my make up and dressed me at my request. She had picked out a dark green baby doll dress and silver wedged sandles. Alice clapped her hands together at her handy work.
"You look amazing Nessie!!!! OOOOhhhh I wish I could come. I bet you're the pretties there." Mom had laughed at Alice's reaction. Esme came in and I could tell that if she was capable of crying she would have done right then.
" I'm going to put my bubble up I think, when Jacob sees you it might get a little strained between him and your father." Mom gave me a hug. " Just be good Renesmee, do you understand. Ring me if you need us ok?" I nodded and rolled my eyes.
Mom was right. Even with no one being able to hear his thoughts Jacobs face gave it away. We left quickly. In the car Jacob kept his hand running up and down my thigh. It made me shiver and I could tell he was getting himself worked up.
" Jacob, behave yourself please!" I smiled as I said it because we both knew that I was loving it.
I read out the directions we had been given and we pulled up at a big detached house at the end of a long drive. I could see flashing lights and hear the thumping of the music from inside the house. Jacob leaned into the back of the car. He pulled out a bottle of vodka and waved it around.
" Where did you get that?!" I giggled taking it from him, impressed that we were on the same page for tonight.
" Emmett got it for us, he said he's not afraid of your Dad. He made me promise not to tell Rose though!! He cracks me up, he needs to put that vamp in line!" Jacob was laughing at Emmett's fear of Rose, although we all understood it. I kissed Jacob whilst touching his cheek so he could feel my excitement.
As soon as we got through the front door a girl I assumed was Mia due to the flashing tiara she was wearing came rushing over. She was already drunk and stumbled a little as she reached us.
" I'm so glad you could make it! Go enjoy." she pointed to the kitchen where I could here shouting. Jacob lead me into the room which was full of teenagers playing drinking games. The first thing I saw was Peter up on the table pouring straight bourbon into a home made funnel right into pour Jamie's mouth. Jamie had his eyes shut tight and was gagging. The crowd were cheering him on. I saw Carrie and waved her over. She looked amazing in a light pink sequined boob tube and hot pants.
" Oh my God, look at you, you look so good!!! Shit Ness is that Gucci?"
Carrie took in my dress. It was likely that it was Gucci but I just shrugged. She looked own at my feet and gasped
" Jimmy Choo's! You never told me you were rich. I'm coming over next week! Come over here and get a drink guys, relax a little."
She grabbed my hand and lead me over to the counter, I left Jacob watching Jamie getting greener which he was finding highly humorous.
Carrie pulled me a shot of sambucca. I had never drunk before and wasn't sure that sumbucca was the best starting point but Carrie was looking at me with her shot ready.
" Ok after three. One. Two. Three!" We both downed the shot. I coughed as the burning spread down my throat. Carrie laughed at the face I was pulling but poured me another one. I downed that one before I lost my bottle, Carrie drank hers and then we went to find Sarah. We found her dancing in the t.v room in her bra and skirt. A small group of boys were sat watching her. Carrie gave a groan of annoyance and pulled me away.
" She's such a hussy. She'll keep doing that until she passes out, same every party." I followed her back to the kitchen were I watched her expertly mix several types of drinks into two glasses and top it up with coke. She passed me my drink and pointed over to the other side of the room. I winced as I saw Jacob at the receiving end of the funnel. I took a gulp of my drink and was surprised that it tasted like a tangy coke. I finished it in a few swallows.
Carrie and I danced and drank and laughed at everyone as they passed out around us. Jacob had kept coming to find me to make sure I was alright and each time I saw him he was more drunk. I was so happy to see him having a good time.
It was close to midnight when I started to feel sick. Carrie was dancing with Jamie so I went to the bathroom by myself. I lowered myself onto the floor next to the toilet. I closed my eyes and groaned as the room started spinning. I heard a knock on the door.
" I wont be a minuet." I just wanted to be left alone, who ever it was could find another bathroom.
" It's me, umm I think you should come out here, Jacob is freaking out!" Peter's voice seemed urgent. I jumped up suddenly feeling sober, I opened the door and followed Peter out to the front yard. Jacob had some poor guy pinned to the wall. I could see his body shaking violently. I ran over to him and got in between him and the boy. I put one hand on his chest.
" Jacob calm down, now! Put him down, please you shaking." I pleaded with him. I put my hand on his cheek and showed him what he looked like. I felt the trembles calm underneath my hand. He let go of the boy and he ran up the drive without looking back. Jacob slumped down onto the grass. I sat down next to him, a crowd had gathered but Jamie and Peter were telling everyone to go away. Carrie came over and asked what had happened. Peter told her that Jacob had over heard this guy talking about how good I looked and had started telling his friends what he would do to me if we were alone. The poor guy hadn't seen Jacob behind him. I sighed and closed my eyes.
Jacob couldn't drive and I knew I had to ring someone. I pulled out my phone and scrolled down until I found Alice's number. She picked up on the first ring.
" Hello."
" Alice, can you come and get us please." I hiccupped at the end.
" Nessie. Where are you? Where's Jacob? I thought he was bringing you home." Alice voice was think with worry.
" Um, its Saint Mary Cresent, fourteen I think. Jacobs drunk, he got in a fight and…" I heard a growl coming from behind Alice and a door slamming. Uh oh.
" Your Dads on the way now, sit tight ok, love you." Alice hung up the phone and I put my head in my hands. I looked over at Jacob who was sleeping sat up right. This was going to be bad.
It was only a few minuets before I heard wheels screeching up the drive. I looked up to see Dad storming over to us. Oh no, he'd brought Moms Hummer. Very inconspicuous. Dad was so angry he looked even paler than usual.
" Get in the car Renesmee." I stood up and made my way over to the car. Carrie came over gawking at the car.
" Who is he?" she gestured to Dad.
" Oh he's my umm, Carlise's nephew." I was far to drunk to think on the spot but it seemed to work.
Jamie and Pete watched in amazment as Dad who was much smaller than Jacob pick him up with ease and throw him into the back of the car. I climbed in the front and we sat in silence all the way home.
