New Acquaintances
Let's Get Physical!
Renesmee's POV
I left Christopher quickly to go and finish getting ready. I grabbed my oversized Louis Vuitton bag along with my pair of 3 inch stiletto booties. Then raced back down the stairwell to put on my navy trench coat. Christopher grabbed my umbrella and walked me to our new black Audi R8. It was defiantly a beauty. He already warmed it up, so we headed toward the school.
"Are you Nervous?" He curiously asked.
"A little" I admitted.
"Don't be. It will go great and everyone will love you. I mean what's not to love?" He is always so sweet.
We made it to the school. It was very average looking, many buildings though. The parking lot was empty except for only a few tarnished cars.
Perhaps were too early? I questioned him in his head.
No it's 7:15. There's really only 20 minutes before class. Plus there could be other parking lots.
Alright.
He helped me prepare to go out in the rain pouring from the sky, by grabbing the umbrella, while I finished buttoning up my trench coat. He disappeared for a second and then reappeared opening my door, umbrella in hand.
You really must be more careful. We don't want to be noticed. I nodded toward the cars in the lot.
Don't worry your pretty little head about that. I promise, from now on I won't do anything a normal human couldn't do. He said as I glided off my seat and onto the pavement with his hand supporting my back.
We headed toward the main office, umbrella saving us from the torrential down pour. I shut the umbrella, took a deep breath and opened the small wooden door. A warm yellow room revealed itself to us. It was comforting with the few plants and padded wooden doors. A large bulletin board on the back wall contained many mismatched bright colored flyers. A large woman with white hair and glasses sat behind a large counter. She wore a pink shirt and floral pants. Her staring at us immediately made me feel self conscious. Knowing that I was a little uncomfortable, Christopher put his hand on my lower back to calm me.
"May I help you?" The woman said, nervously rubbing her clammy hands together.
"I am Christopher VanHalpin and this is my sister Renesmee." He informed her. She immediately looked down at her desk and shuffled some papers around.
"We have been awaiting your arrival." She said still not looking up from her pile.
Of course they have. Who wouldn't want to meet us? Christopher mused in my mind. A small smile formed at the corner of my lips.
"Here are your Schedules and a slip that you must have each teacher sign. Oh…well I only have one map here so I suppose that you two will just have to share. Plus I'm positive that everyone will be very helpful to you." We thanked her and left to compare our schedules. I opened the umbrella as he looked them over.
"Well this rots. We don't have any classes together, not even lunch."
What a great topper to my day. We bid each other farewell and took off toward our first classes. English in building 3.
The classroom was small. I followed lead of the small group in front of me, by hanging up my coat on a small rack and setting my umbrella in the corner. As I stood up I felt all eyes in the room on my back. It was making me quite apprehensive. I kept my back against the small crowd as I shuffled through my bag to retrieve the small slip.
I took the slip to the teacher, a tall, young looking man. He gawked at me for almost a minute as I gave him one of my best smiles.
"Hello Miss. VanHalpin, I am Mr. Mason Jr. Welcome to English II Honors. There is an empty seat at the back of the first row.
I weakly smiled at the students staring at me, on my way to my seat.
"Did you see her smile at me? Damn I'm positive that I'll get a chance with her!" one of the cocky boys in the front of the room whispered to his neighbor.
Why was I cursed with vampire sensitive hearing? Thank goodness the first bell rang, that way I wouldn't have to listen to any more of this talk.
Every so often a head would turn to get a glimpse of me. I just kept my head facing forward and focused on the class. Because we had started school later in the year I felt a little out of place and lost, but soon I caught up. Mr. Mason Jr. told us about how he wanted us to "attack" our sophomore report. He said that he didn't want us to do it the conventional way, and instead of writing an essay on a controversial topic that instead we would research a few topics and then hold a huge debate in the auditorium. It seemed very interesting.
The class flew by and once the bell rang I stood up and gathered my books into my bag. As I turned to walk out the door, a blond girl at about my height approached me.
"Hi! My name is Sophia Newton. What class do you have next?" she seemed nervous. Anyone who was still in the room was suddenly hyperaware of or conversation.
I glanced down at my schedule and said "I have AP World History with Baker."
"Oh cool. So do I! Here I'll walk you too it." She seemed very nice. We grabbed our coats, umbrellas and headed out the door.
"So how do you like Forks?" She asked.
"It's so beautiful. I love it here." I exclaimed.
"Really? Most people really hate it here. Where are you from?" She questioned.
"Well me and my adoptive brother have been doing a lot of independent study, traveling to many new places. Our last home stay was in Quebec City.
"That is so cool! I'll have to introduce you to my brother William. Trust me you'll love him." Is she trying to hook me up with her brother? Hah! Christopher will love that.
We reached the room sooner than I thought we would. The class was very large with many students inside it. We hung up our coats and I headed over to the teacher.
"Hello, I am Renesmee VanHalpin. I'm new." I felt all 29 pairs of eyes on my back. Lovely.
"Oh hello, sweetheart! I am Ms. Smith. Your teacher is out sick, so I am filling in. Would you like to introduce yourself to the class?" She motioned toward the gawking class.
"Listen up children! You have a new student." It kind of irked me that she didn't even wait for my input.
"Hello, I am Renesmee. I'm from Quebec, and I moved here with my adoptive brother Christopher." I turned to the teacher not liking all of this awkward attention on myself. She excused me and I went to sit with a waving Sophia. The substitute was not very good. She just let us talk amongst ourselves for the entire class.
"Renesmee let me introduce you to my brother William." She said as she gestured toward a blond hair, blue eye, baby faced boy that looked very similar to herself. She turned to William who was sitting right next to me. "See I told you she was beautiful." Awkward.
"I wasn't denying it." He defended as I felt a hand squeeze just above my knee. Immediately making me feel extremely uncomfortable. I grabbed his hand and gently removed it from my body. Apparently he didn't get the hint that I didn't like him, because he continued smiling at me for the rest of the class.
The rest of the morning flew by. I met a few new people that were brave enough to introduce themselves to me. I went to trigonometry and Spanish. Each class seemed fairly easy. Sophia was in the majority of my classes, which worked very nicely for me. We walked together toward the cafeteria for lunch. She was trying to update me with the latest gossip, but I just zoned out. We sat at a medium sized round table, full of students. The cafeteria was full but I felt lonely without Christopher. Maybe I can transfer into a few of his classes.
"Renesmee, hey are you listening?" Ugh William. Of course I'm not listening.
"Sorry." I whispered.
"So I was saying that we should go out on Friday. Perhaps out to dinner and a movie." He said as he moved his hand on to my middle thigh. I didn't care if I had to make a scene, as long as he would get he point that I do not want him touching me.
"William, I have a boyfriend." I started off softly and grew loud enough for the surrounding tables to hear me. "Would you remove your hand from my thigh?" His hand lingered there for a moment, but then disappeared. He got up from the table and went to go sit with some friends. I looked up from the table and noticed that all eyes were on me. I was more than uncomfortable. I was suffocating and I needed air.
I grabbed my bag and swiftly walked out of the room. Not one eye left my back as I left. I continued walking until I reached a small bench near the exit. I sat down, closed my eyes and just listened as the world went by.
"Hi, my name is Alice." I slowly opened my eyes to see a small pixie-like girl. Her hair was short and gelled in all directions. She was very pale and she smelled, well she…..smelled. SHE SMELLED LIKE A VAMPIRE!
"Are you okay?" Her voice was like bells.
"Oh yes, I'm okay. I just…well it was…it was just an extremely awkward situation." I fell over the words, damn my mother's clumsiness.
"That's the Newton's for you. Well except for Sophia. Anyway I met your brother today during second period and, we wanted to invite you to our house tonight, for dinner."
"Dinner?" What? They don't eat!
"Yes, dinner. My father would love to meet you both." The bell rang, relieving me from this estrange conversation.
I grabbed my closed umbrella, completely forgetting that it was still raining out side. I made a quick dash at human speed for my building and then went straight to the bathroom. Great, I look like a wet dog. I began to fluff my hair, trying my best to dry it. It did work a little bit.
The biology room was small. I hung up my coat and headed toward the teacher.
"Hello, my name is Renesmee VanHalpin. I'm new." I handed the balding teacher my slip.
"Miss. VanHalpin, welcome to Forks. I'm Mr. Tanner." His eyes wandered across the room. "Ah, you can sit next to Mr. Cullen." He said, pointing to…another vampire. How many of them are there?
Apparently the class was in the middle of two units, so they were given an independent day. It must be my lucky day!
I walked to the seat next to him and smoothly sat down. He was lanky, not very bulky with reddish brown hair. No not red-brown, bronze. Bronze like the natural highlights in my chocolate brown hair. He was beautiful and the close proximity between us made me somewhat comfortable. He seemed pretty tense, probably all of the humans in the room. I saw the strain in his eyes fade away slowly.
"Hello, my name is Edward." Edward, Edward Cullen. Why does that sound so familiar?
"Hi, my name Renesmee."
"Oh I know. I think the whole school is infatuated with you and your brother." He chuckled, filling the room with the sound of bells.
"That's just great" I sarcastically replied "So your Alice's brother?" I tried to change the conversation and he noticed.
"Yes, one of" He replied. "You met her in lunch…right?"
"Yeah, after that little issue with William." I looked behind me to see William smiling awkwardly at me.
"Sorry about that. Just so you know, not every male here is a complete pig like Newton over there." I laughed sweetly at his comment.
"Thank you." I smiled at him. He stared at me intensely and it was like his body was washed over with sadness. He looked so depressed. He began to clench the bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger, something I'm well known for.
"Are you okay?" I asked sincerely.
"Yes, I'll be fine." He sulked, "you just remind me of an old friend."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"Don't be." He replied.
The bell rang and we both rose at the same time to gather our things.
"What class do you have next?" He asked.
"Gym"
"So do I. Would you mind if I walked with you?" He asked so innocently
We walked over to the door and he helped me into my jacket. He put on his coat and we both reached down to grab my umbrella. His hand enclosed my own. His cool touch was comforting and reminded me of Christopher. An electrical shock ran into my hand and I flinched back.
"I'm so sorry." He was so sincere.
"It's alright."
He pulled up the umbrella and opened it as we exited the building. Chivalry is defiantly not dead.
We walked close to each other to escape the drenching rain. He continued holding the umbrella over my head and opened the door for me. He handed me the now closed umbrella and went into the boy's locker room. I made my way to the teacher's office. The tall muscular teacher turned to me and awkwardly stared at me. His eyes never leaving my chest.
"Hello, I'm Renesmee VanHalpin. I'm new."
His eyes continued to wander over my body. I swear I heard a growl coming from somewhere. I was getting very impatient, so I cleared my throat to get his attention.
"Oh, yes. I have a set of gym clothes for you to barrow right here." He handed me a small pile of clothes and a pair of sneakers. I glanced down at the tank top. It was an extra-small!
"Excuse me, but I don't think this shirt will fit me." I flat out said.
"I think it will fit perfectly." What a pervert. I left the room and made my way to the locker room.
I got to the back of the locker room and stripped my tights off. I put the shorts on and they barely covered my ass. I took my dress off and put the skimpy tank-top on. Today was not the day to wear a push up bra. My breasts were practically falling out of the top.
Butterflies filled my stomach. I was self-conscious and nervous to leave to the room. I made my way to the hallway and broke into tears. This was horrible.
Just as I started to regain composer Edward walked out of the gym and came over to me. Great! Of all people I didn't want him to see me like that.
My eyes we still red and puffy, but I tried to put it to the back of my mind. He came up to me and wrapped me into a caring hug. I cried on his shoulder for quite some time, while he reminded me that it was alright. I don't know why but I could feel a tight bond between Edward and I. It felt as if I had known him for years, not hours.
"I'm sorry." I said while pulling myself off his shoulder. He gently wiped the tears from my cheek.
"It's alright." He whispered at vampire level. "Are you okay?"
"I'll be okay." I said softly. I could tell that he could here the uncertainty in my voice. He unzipped his track jacket and hung it over my shoulders.
"Thank you." I said.
"Your welcome, plus I don't think that I could handle Newton's eyes on your body all class." He chuckled.
We walked into the gym to find out that they were in their "adventure" unit. Great. We started out doing trust exercises in groups of three.
I instinctively stood next to Edward so we could be in a group together. Straight on my tail was none other than William Newton.
"Hey Renesmee, looks like your group is one shy. Why don't I join?" He called over to me.
"Oh…Okay" I half groaned wishing that he would leave me alone. I laughed quietly as I heard Edward's low growl.
Edward and William ended up putting me in the middle of them. I leaned back using only my ankles and Edward gently caught me. He used a little force and sent me upright and then falling forward. I prayed that William would catch me.
Oh, I did not have to worry about that. He caught me with his hands not on my shoulders, but cupping my breasts. I quickly stood up about to tell him off when he cut me off.
"Renesmee I am sorry, but I pulled something in my shoulder while working out last night." Sure, sure.
Thankfully our teacher stopped us and told us to go to the random set of risers in the middle of the gym.
"We are going to do a new trust exercise. One person," His eyes immediately darted in my direction. "will go to the top of the risers and fall forward. The rest of us will then catch the person…Renesmee since you are new, why don't you start us off.
Oh, lovely! I climbed to the top of the risers and slid my toes to the edge, while everyone formed to parallel lines below me. They stretched their arms over the gap between them, forming an almost net.
"Okay Renesmee, whenever you're ready."
I inhaled deeply and fell forward. It was actually pretty exhilarating, until I started to feel last night's dinner in my throat (A/N: Her stomach takes at least a day and a half to digest). I rushed out of everyone's hands and out the door, where I found a garbage can. I began vomiting profusively, positive that it would never end.
Edward followed me out of the gym and rushed to my side.
"Shh…it's okay." He whispered in my ear. He gathered my hair and held it away from my face. Gently he began to rub my back.
Even after there was no more food in my stomach, a mixture of venom and blood came up. It did not look good at all. My whole body quaked as the dry heaves arrived; one after another.
The finally stopped after about 8 minutes straight. I felt so weak, with the loss of blood and venom. I slid down the wall next to me and let my head rest against the wall.
"Renesmee, you don't look so good. Do you want me to take you to the nurse?" He asked while I tried to relieve the on coming headache.
"No thank you. I just need no sit and relax for a little while." We sat there for a good 20 minutes. My head resting against his cold shoulder, eyes closed, and his hand slowly rubbing my back.
As our class came out of the gymnasium, we started to get up. He took my hand and held my back as I made my way off the ground.
What is happening to me? I haven't felt good in quite some time and now this. Something was defiantly wrong.
My back screamed for me to stop even before I stood up straight. I braced for impact as I felt my legs collapse. Two arms wrapped around me, lifting my body and sitting me on a bench. He kneeled in front of me and stared deeply into my eyes.
"You really don't look to good; do you want my father to check you out?"
"No, I'm fine. Just a little under the weather today." I did not want anyone to realize how horrible I felt.
Edward looked up to the side of me and watched Christopher sprint at human speed toward me. He gathered me into his arms and held me close. I clenched my teeth as my back shifted in hi arms. He noticed and immediately let go of me, leaving a hand on my back.
"I'm so sorry, sweetie. Are you okay?" Christopher asked, his eyes filled with worry.
"I'm fine." I said and glanced at the clock. Oh! It's been almost 20 minutes since the final bell had rung. "We should probably get going."
They agreed and helped me get up. Christopher held his arm around me, holding me up. Edward left to go in the men's locker room, while Christopher helped me into the women's locker room.
We got to the back of the room, not running into anyone on our way. I must have pulled something in my back, because it killed to even move my arms around. Stupid human self! He noticed and helped me remove my clothes. I unzipped Edward's jacket and he pulled it off my shoulders. I pulled tight tank-top and shorts off, leaving me in my underwear.
"You look so beautiful." He said as he kissed me gently.
"Thank you." I whispered as he slowly pulled away. He helped me get into my dress as I pulled on my tights. He grabbed my belt and wrapped it around my waist, while staring intensely into my eyes. Ecstasy took over my emotions. I kissed him passionately wanting to show him how much I love and appreciate him. He gave me access to his mouth and began messaging his tongue with my own, running my hangs through his hair.
Just then I realized that not 30 minutes ago I was vomiting profusively. There was no way that breath could even smell decent. I pulled away from him slowly, not wanting to show my embarrassment. I gave him a small peck and then put my shoes on. Crying out softly, while bending over. My spine felt as if it was going to split in 2.
Christopher put a cool hand on my back and rubbed it, trying to make me feel better. Not wanting to cause me anymore pain, he picked me up bridal style and carried me out of the locker room. I laid my head against his chest and inhaled his sweet scent. It was so intoxicating. I closed my eyes and drifted into a soft sleep.
