Chapter 19

Renesmee

So Alec wasn't allowed to leave his room all night, orders from Grandpa Carlisle. And he was not happy about it. Emmett was going to go up at one point, but about Alice saw what would happen if he did, and told him not too. Fortunately he took her warning to heart and left poor Alec alone.

Lexi went to him though; after she came back with Seth. They didn't find anything, no trances of other vampires, and Seth and Lexi made sure to cover their own tracks. When she found out that Alec was going to be stuck in his room all night, she ran to the Blockbuster to get some movies for the two of them to watch together, while I slept. I saw her heading up the stairs with Spaceballs and a few other movies that I didn't catch the title of.

Let them have their time," my dad whispered to me, hear my thoughts of envy. I blushed. I knew I shouldn't be jealous of the relationship the Alec and Lexi had, but I kind of was. I mean they were best friends, and went through many tough times together. But I was still a little envious.

"You should go upstairs to bed Renesmee," Mom told me. "After all, you have school in the morning. You want to be well rested for tomorrow. "

"I should go remind Alec and Alexandra of that," Esme said, "I'm sure they've forgotten."

As Esme ascended the stairs, I kissed my parents goodnight. I said goodnight to everyone else and went to my room. I had both a room at Mom and Dad's cottage, and here at the house. Most of the time I slept in the house, because I like to let Mom and Dad have their "alone time".

I looked over at Lexi's bed, empty as always. She always stays in Alec's room, but I guess Carlisle didn't want to have them share a room, officially. That would be…well, awkward, I guess. I got into my pjs, listen to the sound of Lexi and Alec laughing softly, and fell asleep.

I woke up to Alec shaking me awake.

"Um….." I looked at him, still half asleep, "so….you ok?"

He nodded. "Sorry about waking you, but Esme wanted you to get up, and well, Alice and Lexi are having an argument about what Lexi's wearing to school today." With one last apologetic look at me, he left my room.

"Fantastic." I grumbled to myself. Alec had seen me in my pjs. Granted, I had seen him worse, like upside down over Emmett's back, but still, I felt very self-conscious.

"…ARE YOU INSANE! I WOULDN'T WEAR THAT TO SCHOOL IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.." Lexi's screamed at someone, probably Alice.

"You're dead." Emmett said helpfully.

"IN MY EXISTENCE THEN!" she screamed back at him.

"Lexiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii… Alice held the 'i' as she whined. "Please? Alec, tell her she looks so sexy in that outfit!"

"Uhh…." Alec stammered.

"JUST SHUT UP ALL OF YOU!" Rose screeched. "I don't want to listen to you screaming about everything! It's stupid. Lexi, just wear the damn shirt, make a good first impression as school. Maybe someone will actually be your friend!" she said snidely.

"Enough Rosalie," Esme commanded her. "Carlisle already went to the office, and I don't want any more trouble.

I quickly got dressed, and ran downstairs. Just another typical family getting ready for a typical day a school. Esme nodded at me, as I went to eat something in the kitchen.

I ran into Alec there, who was probably hiding from Alice.

"Ready for high school?" I asked

"Nope." A single word answer. There it was again, an emotionless mask covering Alec's face. It really bothered me that I couldn't read him.

"You'll be fine, I have friends, and they'll be nice to you."

"Is this anything like those American high school movies that Jane made me watch with her?"

"Um… I don't know. Did you like the movies?"

"No."

"Uh...then no. Was one of the movie you watch High School Musical?"

"Yeah, but I'm not that stupid—I know that no one has a school like that."

"Just checking."

He gave me a slight smile, but it soon quickly disappeared. I turned see Alice glaring at Alec.

"I picked out your shirt," Alice said, "and it's on your bed."

He obediently nodded and hurried away quickly to change his shirt.

"Alice," I said after he left, "why are you making such a big deal about this? They really don't want to be dressed up like models."

Alice smiled her pixie smile at me. "Cuz, Nessie, I always do fabulous work, and it'll be good for people around here to see new people. And if they're living with me, they better make a good first impression!"

I laughed—Alice took her fashion very seriously.

Jasper came down the stairs, followed by Alec and said "I'm taking you all to school."

"Fantastic," Lexi groaned, "you're gonna make us feel all calm and happy about school, when I really feel like killing myself."

"Already dead." Emmett reminded her.

"I know! My god, it's just a figure of speech!"

"We need to leave now," Jasper announced, and went to the car.

Alec and Lexi exchanged glances as they followed Jasper to the Jeep, with me following right behind them. I was happy about high school, but those two seemed to think it was the worst thing in the world. Eh, go figure.

The car ride was quite, with small attempt at conversation and Jasper trying to calm Lexi and Alec down; or at least make them less nervous. However, I do not think it worked at all.

We arrived at Forks High School and got out of the car. I was excited, I would get to see my friends again! But Alec and Lexi looked as they were going to go through hell. I did feel bad for the two of them. Being in a new school, in a new state, in a new country could not be very easy for the two of them. And on top of that, they were vampires. I tried to sound extremely cheery and upbeat about the join the class of Forks High.

"Well," I said, "welcome to high school." The looks I got in return were priceless.
